Washinuton, Nov. 21. The state de
partment has receive! a cable reply
from Japan through Minister Dun, at
Tokio, to the United States' suggestion
of mediation. The Japanese legation at
Washington has also received from the
foreign office in Japan a cable Btating
Uiat a reply had been made and giving
its terms. Both were received here
Sunday afternoon. The fact that they
had been sent first In-came known
through a disoatch to the Associated
Press from Tokio. This much having
become known, the officials here made
no further concealment of the details of
the reply. The cable to Secretary
Greshara is accompanied by unusual
dignity and formality in having the im
perial sanction of his majesty, the em
peror of Japan. It i9 rarely the em
peror speaks iu diplomatic negotiations,
so his action in the case is evidence of
Japan's desire to express its approba
tion of the course of the United States.
The message is in two parts, the first
giving the imperial expression of good
will and saying the success of the Japan
ese army has been such that China
should approach Japan directly ; the
second part is more directly from Min
ister Dun, and expresses the view of the
Japanese foreign office that China, hav
ing no minister at Tokio, should sub
mit a direct proposition through Minis
ter Dun. The cable to Minister Kurino
is substantially the same as the fore
going. Another Chapter of Crime.
Chicago, Nov. 21. Follow ing close on
the story of the mysterious disappear
ance of the Williams sisters, at the
hands of Holmes, the life insurance
swindler, comes a third woman victim,
viz., Mies Kate Durkee. Miss Durkee
had proj-erty. Documents representing
the projertp came into the hands of H.
II. Holmes by theft. The wvman mys
teriously disappeared, and Holmes
showed title to the property. Miss Dur
kee was not Miss Williams; she had
dark eyes and hair, w hile Miss Williams
was a blonde. A year ago today twenty
five creditors of Holmes met at the
office of George B. Chaiuberlin and
made a deeperatu effort to find out who
and where Miss Durkee was. It nag
supposed that she was an accomplice of
Holmes ; that the property illegally ob
tained was being transferred to her
name, and the creditors wished to reach
it. Suddenly Kate Durkee dropped en
tirely from sight, and like the Williams
sisters, has left no trace behind.
"I believe (he is murdered," said
Chamberlain today. "I also lelieve
both the Williams girls were murdered."
Mr. Chamberlin is the proprietor o'
the Lafayette Mercantile Agency. He
began the investigation of Holmes a
year ago.

wrecking both. Mrs. Jones was picked
up unconscious, and it is feared (he will
not survive.

Apia, Samoa, Nov. 7 (per steamer
Mariposa, via San Francisco Nov. 22.)
While there have been no recent native
outbreaks, a state of political unrest
continues, without any prospect of ter
mination. The native rebels are so far
from being Bubdued that many close ob
servers believe that King Malietoa's
government is doomed. The belief is
becoming more general, too, that cer
tain influential Germans are secretly
aiding the rebel party, with a view to
placing it in power, thus rendering Ger
man annexation, or a German protecto
rate, easy of accomplishment. The
German warship Buzzard and the En
glish cruiser Curacoa are etill here.

Denver, Nov. 21. An order was re

son, of the ISth infantry, stationed at
Fort Douglas, to be tried by a court
n.artial for alleged insubordination dur
ing the railroad strike last summer.
Officers here refuse to give particulars
regarding the case, but say the court
martial was ordered by Assistant Secre
tary of War Doe, against the advice of
General Schofield, who favored the ap
pointment of a retiring board, as Cap
tain Morrison's sanity has been ques

a desperate fight took place between the
warships, the result of which is not
known. The Chinese battleship Chen
Yuen became useless during the fight,
and ran ashore trying to avoid torpedoes
at the entrance to the harbor of Wei-Hai-Wei.
Mexlrane Favor a War.
Kansas. City, Nov. 22. A special to
the Star from Guanajuato, Mexico, says
the legislature of that state has unani
mously adopted a resolution offering to
the federal government all the state
militia and munitions of war to aid in
carrying on war against Guatemala.
The feeling of the people of Mexico
agi.inst Guatemala is very bitter, and
the general sentiment is in favor of war
being declared without further delay.
Chlneae Army Troubles.
London, Nov. 22. The Times' corres

consistently obstructive. They have
been made independent of the viceroy.
It is confirmed, he says, that Li, once
comander of the Chen Yuen, has been
checked.

Lincoln, Nov. 22. last Wednesday
Otto Albers, aged 33, died in this city.
Thursday the body was buried in Wyuka
cemetery. Friday last Superintendent
Byre discovered through one of his as
sistants that the grave of Albers had
been rifled and the body carried away.
The coffin lid was found on top of the
rough box, but the coffin and corpse had
been spirited away. Suspicion at once
attached to some medical college students
connected with one of the universities.
Byre placed Detective Malone on the
case. Malone has been at work, and
last night rounded up a party of medical
students at the lecture room at Cotner
university. Dr. Alexander illustrated
his lecture by dissection, and had ap
plied the knife to the cadaver when Ma
lone came in and placed the whole class
under arrest. The party was brought to
the station, where a preliminary exam
ination was held by Acting County
Judge Wurzburg. The prisoners were
released on bonds of $500 each to appear
for trial.
City or Mexico, Nov. 22. The Uni
versal newspaper today contains a very
warlike article regarding the Mexican
Guatemalan trouble. It says: "In
consequence of the continued attacks
against Mexico and her government,
made b y the official Guatemalan press,
it was rumored yesterday this country
would declare diplomatic relations with
Guatemala at an end. In Guatemala
they say the Mexicans always fled be
fore the Americans and French. The
world knows the Mexican soldier does
not turn his back. Chutubusco, Cha
puttepec, Puebla, etc., are witnesses of
that. With Guatemala we do not ex
pect glory or the gaining of laurels. We
have offered them friendship and they
return black ingratitude, and our men
and our people are not in the humor to
listen to the diatribes of the Guatemalan
press."
Mutiuoua Indian Sailers.
Vancouver, B. C, Nov. 22. At the
Westminster assizes yesterday six of the
Indian crew of the sealing schooner C.
D. Rand were found guilty of revolt and
mutiny on the high seas. Just outside
of Behring eea, in last season's sealing
cruise, the crew took possession of the
vessel and remained in command nine
days. The Indians outnumbered the
white men three to one. At length the
captain took advantage of a favorable
opportunity when only two were on
deck and drove them into the hold',
where he shut them up till he reached
Vancouver. For the defense it was
claimed that the captain supplied them
with whisky, gave them no food and was
taking them to Copper island instead of
Behring sea, as agreed upon, and the In
dians, fearing barbarous treatment at
the hands of the Russians, revolted.
Sentence was postponed till Friday.

enraged an opposition undertaker that
he stabbed Sessions. The w on nil is ser

the Lathropa tried to enter. Young
Ben Sherman warned them to leave.
They paid no heed and lien Sherman
blazed away. Mrs. fjithrop wanted
Miller A Chalmers, undertakers, to di
rect the funeral, but Clark A Sessions,
having got possession from Coroner
Ewing, refused to give the body up,
hence the second tragedy.

China to be Notified.
Washington, Nov. 22. In accordance
with the suggestion of Japan the state
department has notified Ministers Dun,
at Tokio, and Den by, at Peking, to
transmit direct auy offer China may
wish to make to Japan. The Chinese
delegation here is not notified as to what
coarse the government will take. A
cable from Japan states, however, that
China 1ms intimated a willingness to
pay an indemnity of 100,000,000 taels,
and in addition nil the war expenses in
curred by Japan. As the war expenses
reach l."0,000.000 taels, the total offer of
China would be 2o0,000,000 taels. A
tael h a Chinese silver coin worth about
7." cents at the present exchange. It is
believed here the arrangements between
the two nations could be effected on
terms providing for a smaller indemnity.
Diplomats say under ordinary circum
stances it would take some time for
China to formally present its oiler to
Minister Den by. But a9 the Japanese
nre now at the walls of IVrt Arthur
about to make u last blow at. China's
greatest fortress, it is anticipated China
may hurry the negotiations to a
conclusion. It is expected Minister
Denby will transmit the offer by tele

thence by cable to Yokohoma.
