ATTACK UPON HAY
Burleson Brings Boer War
Up in the House.
DEBATE TAKES WIDE LATITUDE
Thayer' Resolution, for an. Xarestl-
Satloa of Ike Siigrar Trast Is De
. i feated Otker Matters
" - Considered. .
I WASHINGTON, March It-The House
today entered upon the consideration of
the postofflce appropriation bill, but, as
usual during general debate on an appro
priation bill, the members who spoke de
voted themselves to everything except the
bill before the House. 'Early In the day
( Thayer (Dem. Mass.) attempted to take
advantage of the division among the Re
publicans on the subject of reciprocity by
bringing forward a resolution to Investi
gate reports that the sugar trust would be
the chief beneficiary, o Cuban reciproc
ity. He tried to overturn, a decision of
the Speaker In order to secure action on
his resolution, but 'the Republicans came
up solidly against such a course, and he
Tvas checkmated. Brantley, a Georgia
Democrat, made a speech in favor of
Cuban reciprocity, and Meyer, a Louisiana
Democrat, against It. Hill (Rep. Conn.)
made some remarks on his monetary bilL
The feature of the day, however, was a
speech by Burleson (Dem. Tex.), attack
ing Secretary Hay for declining to re
quest the British authorities to furnish a
passpprt to go through the British lines to
Rev. Hiram W. Thomas and wife, who
desire to go to South Africa to distribute
Boer relief funds collected in Illinois.
Hitt (Rep. 111.), chairman of the foreign
affairs committee, made a spirited reply
to Burleson, charging the Texas member
with attempting to prejudice the case be
fore the evidence is in.
The Proceedings.
When the House met, Thayer created
something of a flurry by rising to a ques
tion of privilege, which, he said, involved
the "dignity of the House and the safety
of Its members." He therefore presented
a resolution setting forth many rumors
regarding Cuban reciprocity, together
with allegations that the sugar trust is
to be the chief beneficiary of such reci
procity: that it is subsidizing newspapers,
establishing literary bureaus and In othr
ways attempting to create public senti
ment in favor of Cuban reciprocity. The
resolution declares that the dignity of the
House is involved, and calls for a special
committee of seven members to Investi
gate the subject.
Loud (Rep. Cal.) made a point of order
against the resolution, which was sus
tained by the Speaker.
Thayer appealed from the decision of the
chair.
"I move to lay the appeal on the table,"
instantly cried Payne, the Republican
leader.
Thayer demanded the ayes and noes and
the roll was called. The Republicans
voted solidly for the notion to' lay the
appeal on the table, while two Democrats,
Fleplng (Ga.) and McClellan (N. T.) broke
away from their party associates and
voted with the Republicans. The appeal
was laid on the table, 125 to 87.
The House then went Into committee of
the whole (Littlefleld in the chair), and en
tered upon consideration of the postofflce
appropriation bill. As Littlefleld took the
chair there was an outburst of applause
on both sides of the House.
Loud, In charge of the bill, explained
its provisions in a preliminary statement
The bill, he said, carries ?137,91G,596, being
$3,185,022 more than the estimates, and 514.
133,910 more than the appropriations for
the current year. The main cause of the
increase, he said, is the increased salaries
of postal employes, which under this bill
would average $900.
Brantley (Dem. Ga,), taking advantage
of the latitude allowed in general debate
of an appropriation bill, discussed the
question of Cuban reciprocity. He con
tended that whatever la to be done should
be done speedily. He favors reciprocity
He argued that the South would benefit
greatly from 'the commerce of Cuba if
free trade exists, and that, moreover, if
Cuba were prosperous, a sanitary condi
tion would be maintained there which
would remove the danger of yellow fever,
which had constantly threatened the
Southern ports in the past.
Hill (Rep. Conn.) followed Brantley with
some remarks in favor of his bill to main
tain the legal tender value of the silver
dollar at a parity with gold. While he
was speaking, a group of Republicans
.were listening to Senator Hanna. The
little gathering attracted much attention.
Finally Sulzer (Dem. N. Y.), 'rising to a
point of order, asked Littlefleld, who was
in the chair, whether the "gentleman
from Connecticut" or the "Senator from
Ohio" had the floor. Littlefleld, who was
presiding, with a broad smile, pounded
for order and announced that the "gen
tleman from Connecticut" had the floor.
He looked toward the group of which
SenatoHanna was the center and ad
monished"" those who indulged in conver
sation to retire behind the railing.
Burleson Attacked Hay.
Burleson (Dem. Tex.) then called at
tention to the resolutions Introduced by
him a few days ago calling upon the Sec
retary of State for Information as to
whether he had declined to request the
British Ambassador to furnish pass
ports for Rev. Hiram W. Thomas and
wife, of Chicago, who were selected to
distribute funds collected In Illinois for
the relief of the noncombatant prisoners
in South Africa. Burleson admitted that
he did not know personally whether the
report on which his resolution was found
ed Is true His purpose was solely to as
certain the facts. He sent to the clerk's
desk and had read a letter from John O.
Knight, who came to Washington to se
cure passports for Dr. Thomas and wife.
Mr. Knight, in the letter, stated that tho
funds were collected In response to an
appeal by Governor Tates and that the
committee having them In charge con
sisted of Mayor Harrison, Judge E. F.
Dunne and Peter Van Vlisslnger. He had
gone to Secretary Hay, the letter said,
with a letter from Senator Cullom, and
the Secretary of State had declined to
make the request of Lord Pauncefote on
the ground that such a request would be
considered "meddlesome" and a "remiss
ness of neutrality" and against the views
ef President Roosevelt.
"If the facts stated in this letter are
true," said Burleson, "then the statement
was so saturated with pro-British spirit
that it could no longer respond to tho
common dicates of humanity when made
in behalf of Boer women and children."
Burleson said that under date of March 4.
another appeal had gone from Knight to
Secretary Hay, without eliciting a re
sponse. Burleson said his purpose in
having these letters read was to fasten
the attention of the American people on
the course of the State Department.
Hitt (Rp. 111.), chairman of the foreign
affairs committee,, replied to Burleson
with some display of heat. He said it
was with singular surprise that he had
heard the gentleman frqm Texas bring
forward a resolution which already had
been referred to a committee of which he
(Burleson) is a member, and which com
mittee is to meet on a day flxed by the
motion of Burleson himself. It is strange,
he said, that Burleson should rush in be
fore action is taken or the reply of the
Secretary of State Is received. He said It
is an effort to prejudice the case before
the evidence is in. He asked whether he
woiua nave atiov ;ea a coznmmee mat
isted in London in 18C3, and which was'in J
would have allowed a committee that ex
full sympathy with the Confederate .cause,
to go through the Union lines for the
purpose of distributing relief. Interna
tional law must be observed, he said. The
International Red Cross was organized for
the purpose of carrying on relief. Funds
could be distributed through our Consuls,
but not through those in sympathy with
the Tenemy.
"But why should not the Secretary of
State used his good offices to relieve the
distress of the Boer women and children
confined in concentration campsT' asked
Burleson.
Hitt replied that according to Knight's
letter the Secretary had offered to help
him In every way in his power, but he
manifestly could not do a ridiculous thing.
The rules of international law on the
question are well established. Every old
soldier of either army who had been in
prison during the Civil War understands
the situation perfectly. Jefferson Davis
would ixft have allowed Northern sympa
thizers to perambulate through Southern
camps to distribute relief. The Secretary
of State could not make a demand which
on its face is contrary to all precedents.
It would be a slap in the face of a for
eign government. It had not been done
in our war or any other war.
Sulzer asked If the British authorities
had not declined to allow the Red Cross
to conduct its humane work in South Af
rica. Hitt said that such a statement had
been made and had been denied; he did
not know the facts.
"The Information I have," declared Sul
zer, "comes from the Boer Commissioners
in this country."
"I am 'not In communication with the
British or the Boer officials," responded
Hitt
Meyer (Dem. La.), the last speaker of
the day, gave a detailed statement of his
reasons for opposing Cuban reciprocity.
He said it is by no means certain that
Cuba, whether as an independent state or
under a quasi protectorate or as a State
of the Union of the Porto Rlcan type,
is a greater cause of anxiety to the
United States than she was as a domin
ion or colony of Spain. The question of
reciprocity, he said, concerns the wheat
grower of the Mississippi Valley, the
manufacturer of New England, Pennsyl
vania and Ohio, the stock farmer of Ken
tucky and all our varied industries. There
Is, he said, no considerable number of
American people who desire tariff legisla
tion. The farmers and planters dread
any unfriendly legislation by treaty, con
gress or otherwise. They care nothing
about the success of the Cuban Republic,
if they are to pay the preacher.
At 4:55 P. M. the House adjourned.
DISORDERS IN RUSSIA.
Laboring: Population. Comes to
the
Alii of the Students.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 9. (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press.) It
has been confidently predicted during the
entire Winter that university disorders
would begin anew early in February. The
laboring population, that is, the factory
hands, were to Join the students In more
daring demonstrations than had ever been
known before. It appears that the pro
gramme has been begun at Kleff, where
the students have held a mass meeting
and pronounced against the acceptance
of the new university regulations, which
permit organization and meetings of the
students by class years within the bounds
of each faculty.
At the request of the professors the
Ministry of Education has allowed the
St, Petersburg University to retain the
concessions granted temporarily before
Christmas, with some modifications,
which, however, leave this institution in
a privileged condition as compared with
others. This did not satisfy the students,
and their delegates undertook to call a
mass meeting to discuss the situation. The
university authorities forbade the meet
ing as dangerous at the present time. The
delegates will probably resign and the
meeting will inaugurate an illegal agita
tion here.
The Moscow students are already re
ported to be taking action. The Governor
General there has posted warnings against
such gatherings, and has issued special in
structions regarding the sale of firearms
and other weapons.
The action of the government in placing
the greater part of European Russia un
der quasi martial law was taken on ac
count of this agitation. The students are
animated by general political rather than
by strictly educational motives. If one
pretext failed them then another would
easily be found.
Since the above letter was mailed, as an
nounced by the Associated Press February
20, the University of St. Petersburg was
officially closed that day owing to the
action of the students who, at a meeting
held in St. Petersburg February 8, in spite
of police orders to the contrary, rejected
the government's concessions respecting
students' organizations arid meetings, and
proclaimed that they would strike unless
their demands for complete autonomy
and freedom of speech were granted.

Government Inquiry.
ST. PETERSBURG, Saturday, Feb. 8.
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
The appointment of a special commis
sion to Inquire into the causes and reme
dies for the terrible condition of agri
culture is greeted with a unanimous cho
rus of approval by the press. The com
mission would be completely dominated
by the Minister of Finance, M. de Wltte,
who, as chairman, will determine the sub
jects of Inquiry and the witnesses to be
summoned, and will report the results to
the Czar. Besides the- Finance Minister,
two of the assistant Finance Ministers
are members of the committee, and the
Secretary Is M. Chlppoff, head of the
Chancellory 'of this Ministry.
It Is characteristic of the political sit
uation that the Ministers of Agriculture
andt Interior, which are directly responsi
ble for the well being and political status
of the peasants and the landed proprie
tors, are represented in the commission
only by the Minister and one assistant
Minister each.

MALL0RY ON SHIP BILL
FLORIDA SEXATOR ANALYZES THE
SUBSIDY MEASURE.
Say It 'Weald Ttot Accomplish the
Itesalt Hoped for It by Its
Promoters.
WASHINGTON, March It For several
hours today the Senate had the ship .sub
sidy bill under consideration. Mallory
made an extended speech in opposition to
the measure. He analyzed the bill care
fully, and held that there is no good rea
son for Its enactment into law, saying he
believed it, would not accomplish the re
sult hoped for it by Its promoters.
Prior to consideration of the subsidy
measure a lively debate occurred over an
effort on the part of Berry to ascertain
when the committee on privileges and
elections might be expected to report to
the Senate the resolution providing for
the election of 'Senators by the direct vote
of the people. Hoar indicated his vigor
ous opposition to such a resolution, on the
ground that It would subvert the funda
mental principles upon which the Senate
was founded.
The Proceedings.
The Senate, when it convened, at the
requestlof Cullom, one" of-the conferees,
disagreed to the conference report on the
bill providing for the carrying Into effect

treaty. The Senate Insisted upon its
amendments, and Cullom, Lodge and Mor
gan were named as conferees. Article 7
relates to the payments of claims In Cuba,
und the bill proposes to amend the act
creating the Spanish Claims Commission
so as to provide for the attendance of wit
nesses. In a privileged statement Berry said he
had introduced early in the present session
a resolution providing for the election of
Senators by direct vote of the people. This,
together with a similar resolution adopted
by the House, had been referred to the
committee on privileges and elections. The
House had passed such o resolution four
times, but the question never had been
considered by the Senate. He Is being
pressed constantly, he said, by correspond
ents, to know when a vote would be taken
upon .the question by the Senate, and he
desired to Inquire of the chairman of the
committee whether the Senate could not
have a vote upon the subject during the
present session.
Burrows, chairman of the committee on
privileges and elections, after saying what
Berry had said is true, said:
"I will say to the Senator that there is
no disposition on the part of the committee
to shirk responsibility In connection with
the resolution. Action upon it will be
taken, and a report upon it will be made."
"In time to take a vote upon it at this
session?" inquired Berry.
"I have no doubt of it," replied Burrows.
Mitchell (Or.), In a statement In support
of what Berry had said, expressed tho
hope that the committee on privileges and
elections would see its way to repdrt the
resolutions, favorably or adversely, and at
an early date, in order that the Senate
might have opportunity to act upon It.
Hoar, one of the members of the com
mittee on privileges and elections, and a
vigorous opponent of the resolution pro
viding for tho election of Senators by di
rect vote of the people, said that the mat
ter ought not to be permitted to pass with
out a few words of comment.
"This is one of tho most Important ques
tions," said he, "that has arisen since the
adoption of the Constitution. Indeed, It
Is the first serious effort made to change
the mechanism Involved In the principles
of the Constitution. This is a proposition
to change tho principle upon which the
Constitution Is founded, and It Is a matter
of historical fact that without the incor
poration of this principle the Constitution
never could have been agreed to. The
solemn pledge was given to states, small
and great, that the equality of the states
never would be destroyed without the con
sent of every one of them."
He does not believe that the adoption of
the resolution could be accomplished with
out a breach of the National pledge which
lies at the foundation of this Government.
It is a question which he thought the
American people thoroughly understand,
because it is one of the greatest ever
brought into a legislative assembly for
action anywhere In the world. Ho has
received letters urging that Senators bo
chosen by direct vote of the people, but
every one of them bears evidence of a
"worked-up sentiment."
Hoar said he Is willing to go before any
representative American assembly to dis
cuss the proposition which, to his mind,
strikes at the very heart of the Consti
tution and to meet any champion of the
proposition. He referred to the Supreme
Court and to the United States Senate as
the two great bodies of the Government
which are free from the Influence of popu
lar movements, and popular excitement
The Senate, he said, is the greatest delib
erative assembly In the world, and he be
lieves it the duty of the people to stand
firm before the proposition to strike down
one of the two glories of the Republic.
"I will do my duty here," said he, "as
a member of the committee, but will not
be hurried, and the Senate shall not be
hurried if I can help It"
In a brief reply to Hoar, Berry said that
this is not the time to discuss the merits
of the proposition, but he insisted that
the Senate has a right to demand that
the committee to which the resolution had
been referred should make some kind of a
report, and he did not believe that the
Senator from Massachusetts (Hoar) could
prevent a report from being made.
Dubois said that the only point of the
Constitution bearing on the question is
that each state should have two Senators.
The manner of their election is not a vital
principle.
Stewart declared that the resolution em
bodied a movement fatal to the equality
of the states In the Senate. To his mind
it meant the destruction of the Senate
and the principles upon which it was
founded.
At the conclusion of the debate, which
had been proceediag by unanimous con
sent, the Se&ate parsed 81 private pension
bills. Other bills were passed as follows:
Amending the act of Fhnrv ikvi in
increase the efficiency of the permanent
military establishment, so as to provide
.for the transfer of officers from the line
to the staff for four years' service.
Mallory en the Ship Bill.
The Senate then, at 2 o'clock, resumed
consideration of the ship subsidy bill, and
Mallory, one of the Democratic members
of the committee on commerce, addressed
he Senate in opposition tor the measure.
He said in its ultimate analysis the bill is
a measure to take the money of the tax
payers to build up the private business of
individuals and corporations. Referring
to Frjfe's argument in. support of the es
tablishment of an auxiliary navy, for
which the pending bill provides, he does
not believe there Is sufficient Justification
for the extraordinary expenditure pro
posed by the bllt In the event of a war
between the United States and Great Brit
ain, France, Germany and other great
maritime powers, this country would find
itself In a very different situation from
that item than during the Spanish War.
The proposed auxiliary cruisers would not
be left to scour the seas, because It Is the
policy of all the nations named now to
build vessels which could easily overtake
any one of the ships which the pending
bill provides would become a part of the
naval auxiliary fleet
After analyzing at length the provisions
of the measure, (Mallory declared: "Con
gress never In Its history passed a meas
ure of this character. It has passed many
laws to provide private, gains under the
pretense of public policy, but never one
so absolutely bald and bold in Its ad
vancement of private purposes as this
measure."
He would go as far as any Senator to
put the American merchant marine on a
footing of equality with that of any other
nations, but he could not indorse a meas
ure so at variance with every principle
of right and Justice.
(McCumber and Depew gave notice that
they would address tho Senate tomorrow
on the ship subsidy bill.
Proctor gave notice that after the dis
position of the bill to protect the Presi
dent of the United States he would move
that the oleomargarine bill be made the
unfinished business.
Frye referred to the factthat it had
been claimed that the clause in section 6
of the ship subsidy bill, which directs pay
ment to the owner or owners of any ves
sel of the United States "duly registered
by a citizen of the United States," would
place under the provision of the bill the
four ships that had been admitted to an
American register. He therefore submit
ted an amendment, which- was adopted,
making the clause read: "Hereafter built
and registered In the United States', or now
duly registered."
Allison, trying, as he said, "to get an
Interpretation of provisions that are a lit
tle blind to me," directed some questions
to Frye. His desire, he said, was to as
certain whether proper safeguards had
been thrown around the bill to protect the
Government In the making of so large an
expenditure as it proposed. The questions
asked by the Iowa Senator were largely
technical, relating to the classification of
ships, the number of vessels to be benefited
by the act, the amount of money paid in
the aggregate, etc The colloquy which
ensued developed the fact that a coast
wise vessel might register at any port
which It touched and enter from that port
the ocean-carrying trade and receive a
subsidy under this bill. It developed also
that a vessel engaged In trade between
the United States and the Philippines
would receive the subsidy until the coast
wise navigation laws should be extended
by Congress to the Philippine Archipelago.
Afterward no vessel engaged In the Phil
ippine trade would receive the subsidy.
Frye explained that the subsidy being
based on the classification of vessels.
would be paid to ships without respect to
their age, the worth of a vessel being de
pendent entirely uikm Its classification.
At the conclusion of the colloquy and
after reading a veto message from, the
President, the Senate, at 5:25 P. M., ad

PRINCE'HENRY HAS' GONE
SAILED FROM NEW YORK YESTER
DAY ON THE DDUTSCHLASD.
His Last Day In America Spent
Aboard the Steamer The Final
Leave Takings.
NEW YORK. March It Prince Henry
of Prussia sailed for Germany on board
the Hamburg-American, liner Deutschiand
this afternoon. His last day in America
was spent entirely on board the Deutsch
iand, but It was filled with pleasing inci
dents. The Prince breakfasted early, and about
10 o'clock began to receive official fare
well visitors. Including representatives of
Germany, In this country and those of the
United States Government. Mayor Low,
of New York, was also a caller, and the
Prince, In bidding him farewell, gave a
hint that he had some Intention of return
ing to America for a second visit. The
Prince, replying to the Mayor's expres
sions, said: "I thank the citizens of New
York for all their kindness to me, which I
appreciate deeply. If I should return to
America I should feel, when I reached
New York, that I was once more at
home."
The members of the party which accom
panied the Prince on his tour were his
guests at luncheon. Covers were laid for
2S persons in the dining-room of the ship,
and music was furnished by the band
from the Hohenzollern. At the close of

beauty." He placed the flower in his but
tonhole, and each guest followed his ex
ample. Immediately after the luncheon, at the
Prince's Invitation, the party went to the
commander's bridge of the Deutschiand.
and was thare photographed. Then the
real leaveiaklng began. The final fare
wells were said by members of the Ger
man Embassy at Washington.
An Incident of the forenoon was the call
of the committee of 40 New York letter
carriers, representing the New York
branch of the Letter-Carriers' Associa
tion. They came to present to the Prince
a bronze tablet. In commemoration of the
martyred Presidents of the United States,
Lincoln. Garfleld and McKlnley. The letter-carriers
failed to see the Prince, and
were received by Admiral von Secken

the Admiral said His Royal Highness, in
return for the present would send to the
New York Letter-Carriers' Association his
portrait with autograph, to hang on the
walls of the organization's rooms In New
York.
Shortly before the Deutschiand sailed,
the United Singing Societies of Hudson
County, New Jersey, appeared on the deck
of the Princess Victoria Louise, which lay
alongside the Deutschiand, and sang a
number of selections. Prince Henry ap
peared on the bridge of the Deutschiand
with Captain Albers, and bowed his ac
knowledgements repeatedly.
When the ship sailed all the approaches
and the pier were crowded. The flrst
cabin section of the Deutschiand was
packed all the afternoon .with passengers
and their- friends, and in many cases
women had to be rescued from the crush
to see the Prince. The Deutschiand sailed
at 3:43. As she moved away from the pier
the cheering was continuous. The Prince
appeared on the bridge and bowed. All
down North River the passing tugs and
craft of every description gave the great
liner and her distinguished passenger a
noisy send-off. At the Battery, which was
reached at 4 o'clock, a crov?d cheered as
the vessel steamed down the bay. The
Deutschiand reached the Narrows at 4:35
Forts Wadsworth and Hamilton flred sa
lutes, which were answered by the
Deutschiand, and the garrison at Fort
Wadsworth lined up on the bluff until the
steamer had passed out Into the lower
bay. The Deutschiand Is due at Hamburg

Deutschiand was beautifully decorated
with flowers, and there was a profusion
of them In the Prince's suite of rooms.
Tho company had also tastefully deco
rated the pier.
The imperial yacht Hohenzollern start
ed on her homeward trip at 2:40 this af
ternoon. A crowd witnessed the depar
ture of the ship at her pier, and a cheer
from the people was answered with a sa
lute by whistle from the Hohenzollern.
For an hour before the time for sailing
the crew and officers of the Hohenzollern
held a levee, bidding farewell to friends.
The Hohenzollern Is under orders to pro
ceed to Bermuda, where she will make
her first stop.

SITUATION IS SERIOUS.
Colombian General Castro Canndt
Get Reinforcements.
PANAMA, March 11. The Government
General, Castro, was sent to Agua Dulce
last December by the late General Alban
to attack tho Indian revolutionary chief,
General Lorenzo. About this time the
revolutionary General, Herrera, landed an
expedition from Tumaco at Lonosl. For
the past two weeks the Government on
account of the revolutionary fleet has
not been able to send reinforcements "of
any kind to General Castro. During this
time General Herrera has developed his
plan of attack without molestation.
General Herrera attacked Agua Dulce
with a strong force February 20. General
Castro resisted him for four days, but as
he was probably short of ammunition, he
then abandoned the town. To do this he
had to force his way through the Liberal
lines. The Government has positive In
formation that the revolutionists had 700
men killed or wounded during these en
gagements. General Salazar, the Governor of Pana
ma, has informed the representative here
of the Associated Press that although the
situation Is serious he fears nothing for
the safety of Panama and Colon. General
Salazar has received a message from Gov
ernor Pinto, of the Department of Cau
da, in which the Governor says he has
ready an army of 10,000 men which he will
send to Panama if necessary.
The Pacific Steam Navigation Compa
ny's steamer Tabago, which arrived here
Sunday from Perregal, the port of Chlrl
qul, confirms the reported capture of the
town of David and brings details of the
engagement as follows:
The revolutionists, under General Quln
tero, were encamped Sunday, March 2, at
San Pablo, five miles from David. Colonel
Luque, of the Government garrison, be
lieving the revolutionists to be less nu
merous than they actually were, ordered
an attack. David Is situated In an im
mense plain. The revolutionists had en
trenched themselves near San Pablo and
surprised the Government troops at close
range. The civil and military chief of the
province, who had only 25 men at David,
abandoned that place in order to report
to the Government He proceeded to
Bocas del Toro with his men and arrived
here yesterday. He reports having sent
a messenger to General Ortiz, at Horconl
tos, giving him the news of the situation
at David, so that General Ortiz cannot De
surnVlsed by the revolutionists.
A report has been circulated here that
wounded Government soldiers and prison
ers taken by the revolutionists at the Da
vid engagement were put to death.
Rebel Loss Was Six Hundred.
COLON. Colombia, March It A paper
published at Honda, on the Magdalena
River, contains an account of a battle at
Socha, near Bogota, February 23, In which
the revolutionists numbered about 2000,
while the government had 3000" men en
gaged. The revolutionists lost 200 men
kilted or wounded and had 400 men taken
prisoners.

MILLER IS INDORSED.
Propriety of the Consul's Coarse Is
Established.
WASHINGTON, March It It may be
that the collision which occurred between
the Russian soldiers and tho crew of the,
U. S. S. Vlcksburg at the beginning of
the year, while the gunboat was in a
mud dock at Nlu Chwang, will be the
subject of further representations to the
Russian Government The mall advices
whlph are now coming-to hand make out
a very strong case for the American sail
ors. It is shown that they were attacked
without reason in their own clubroom
by the Russian guard and were handled
cruplly. The representations made by
Henry B. Miller, United States Consul at
Nlu Chwang, to the Russian commander,
were extremely vigorous, and caused a
protest to be lodged by the Russian Gov
ernment, but a subsequent Investigation
Is be'lleved to have established the pro
priety of the Consul's course.
THEIR. POLICIES CLASH.
Germany and England In. a Dispute
at Tien Tsln.
PEKIN, March H.--The policies of Ger
many and Great Britain In China, which
Great Britain had consolidated by the
signing of the Yangtse agreement a year
ago, has developed an antagonism equal
to that of Russia and Japan over Man
churia, also seriously, Involving the In
terest of the other nations.
Germany is the only, power refusing to
agree to the reduction of the large garri
sons the European governments are main
taining at Tien Tsln and the restoration
of the control of the native city of Tien
Tsln to the Chinese. The British diploma
tists are trying to help the Chinese to
regain the government of Tien Tsln, and
the reason for the -British action in block
ing the payment of the February install
ment of the Chinese Indemnity was to
bring Germany to terms.
. The British believe Germany Is using
Tien Tsln as an inducement to the Chi
nese to grant her a practical monopoly
of the mines In 'Shan Tung province.
Great Britain's share of the Indemnity is
a comparative trifle tc her, but she thinks
Germany needs her share to maintain her
forces In China, and, considering the con
dition of German finances and the oppo
sition in Germany to the whole plan of
the German Government In the Orient,
that the Government will be reluctant to
propose parliamentary appropriations for
the Chinese establishment
The British diplomats regard the argu
ment that the municipal government or
Tien Tsln by Europeans Is a military ne
cessity as a subterfuge, nnd in her role
of protector of the Chinese against for
eign aggression, Involved In the Anglo
Japanese alliance, hoping to increase her
prestige against the Chinese. Great Brit
ain is helping them to regain Tien Tsln.
American influence Is being used to this
same end.
Due to American Influence.
WASHINGTON, March It It Is true as
reported from Pekln that the Influence of
the American Government has been exert
ed to secure the early withdrawal of
troops from Tien Tsln. Having withdrawn
our troops, our Government can do noth
ing further In that direction than to use
moral suasion with the other powers. It
is stated here that this has been effec
tive to the extent that every one of the
powers has assented to the proposition to
withdraw the troops, even Germany,
which is now reported as halting. While
there have been no recent exchanges on
the subject, a few weeks ago the Ger
man Government was sounded and read
ily responded that It Intended to with
draw Its troops as soon as It had secured
what Is regarded as necessary guarantees
and has satisfied Itself that disorders
would not follow to the Jeopardy of for
eigners in Tien Tsln. It Is understood
here, therefore, that the question Is simply
one 'of Judgment as to the time of with
drawal. PROTESTS AGAINST EXCLUSION.
China Presents a Memorial to Minis
ter Conger.
PEKIN, March It The Chinese Govern
ment has presented to the United States
Minister. Mr. Conger, a strong memorial
against thg re-enactment of the Chinese
exclusion law by thls-Government The
Government here particularly objects to
the exclusion of Chinese from the Philip
pine nnd Hawaiian Islands, representing
that the Chinese have acquired extensive
commercial Interests there, and are closely
cdnnected with the Islands by family ties,
so that repression of free intercourse
would result In peculiar hardships.
Life-Saving Station on SJuslaw.
WASHINGTON, March 11. After
further correspondence with the cit
izens and business men of Lane Coun
ty, Senator Mitchell has Introduced a bill
to establish a life-saving station at or
near the mouth of the Sluslaw River. The
Senator has at hand considerable data to
show that the commerce of this river is
far In excess of what was recently stated
by the chief of the life-saving service In
his adverse recommendation on this prop
osition, and this he will lay before the
department In the hope of securing a fa
