HE WILL PROTECT FOREIGNERS
"Will Tfot Permit Cape Haytlen to Bo
Bombarded by Insurgents
"Without Duo Xotice
Belnff Given,
WASHINGTON, July 29. Tha following
cablegram, dated today -was received at
the Navy Department this afternoon
Machias, arrive'd at Cape Haytlen yester
day: 'Affairs are very much disturbed at
Cape Haytlen. Unorganized mob in the
city. Foreign consuls have been threat
ened. Will give protection on board. I
will prevent bombardment "without due
notice."
The State Department baa -no hesita
tion in fully approving the energetic and
sufficient action of Commander McCrea
in taking caro of the foreign Consuls and
in preventing a bombardment -without
a -warning. Tho American and foreign
interests in Cape Haytlen are large and
an American captain Is required by the
unwritten law to look after the life and
property of other foreign residents as
-well as American in such cases. It is
said that the rules of international law
as -well as the dictates of humanity re
quire that proper notice be given before
a bombardment in order that women,
children and non-combatants may leave
the town and carry off their personal be
longings. The Navy Department feels that the
Machias is sufficiently large for the work
at hand at this point, though if there
were more such American gunboats in
the gulf and Caribbean Sea a quieting
and restraining Influence would bo ex
erted over these frequent rebellious out
breaks Involving violations of the rules
of war and great suffering.
"WOULD BENEFIT BY CANAL.
Peruvian President Urges Hli
Country to Prepare for It.
LIMA, Peru, July 29. President Ro
mano's message to Congress on the open
ing of that body said the government
would present a project to combat the
existing abuse in the use of alcohol. The
revenues for 1801 exceeded by more than
1,000.000 sols (about 5970.000) the amount
calculated In the budget, leaving a sur
plus in the treasury of nearly 300.000 sols.
The customs revenues for the year 1901
exceeded those of the previous year by
nearly 2,500.000 sols. TOie imports for
1901 exceeded those of 1900 by nearly 4,
COO.OOO sols, but owing to the fall of
sugar, exports for 1901 diminished nearly
2,000,000 sols. The exports of minerals
and cotton for 1901 each exceeded by 600.
000 cols the amounts of these products
exported during 1900.
The new budget for 1903 calculates a
revenue of over 15,000,000 sols and an ex
penditure of 14,500,000 sols, leaving a sur
plus of 800,000 sols.
In his message the President said that
the completion of the Panama Canal
would open a vast horizon to the com
merce of Peru and that it was therefore
wise to prepare for this event by grant
ing liberal concessions to shipping. In this
connection. President Romano suggested
the construction of a dry dock of ample
dimensions at Callao, or the Island of
San Lorenzo, southwest of Callao, and of
a floating dock at Payta.
Replying to President Romano; the
President of the Senate, Manuel Canda
mo, promised the President the co-operation
of Congress and congratulated Peru
upon the good sense of the people in their
resolution not to allow any attempt at
disorder. Senor Candamo added that the
recent settlement of the differences be
tween Chile and Argentine, together with
the change now evident in public opinion
in Chile, Induced him to hope for the
solution In accordance with the treaty
of Acnon of the questions pending.
COLOMBIA PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
Efforts at New York to Settle tlie
3Iatfer Pail.
NEW YORK. July 29. Peace negotia
tions whoch have been in progress in this
city for the 'last week between General
Pampllio Guiterrez, of the Colombian
Government, and General Gabriel "Vargas
Santos, chief of the revolution in Co
lombia, have come to an abrupt end, and
according, to. the Tribune, the insurrec
tion, which for nearly three years has
existed in Colombia, must continue.
General Guiterrez, chief of the govern
ment forces at Panama, who arrived from
Panama a week ago, came, it Is- said,
as the special emissary of President Mar
roquin to negotiate a treaty of peace
with General Vargas Santos. There had
been several conferences between the
Generals, and so well had plans toward
pacification advanced that Generals
Guiterrez and Santos were to have sailed
today for Panama.
However, General Guiterrez received a
dispatch from Governor Salzar, of the
Province of Panama, announcing a
battle at Agua Dulce between the gov
ernment and the rebel forces. Thereupon
he gave notice that all negotiations were
off for the present at least. He gave as
his reason that he could not continue
the convention while there was a state
of actual warfare.

young Acosta from his home, six weeks
ago. It is said that Colonel Acosta, the
young man's uncle, obtained private In
formation that his nephew was seized by
guards under Del Gado, and was after
ward Been taken from the police station
at night, handcuffed and between two of
Del Gado's men. Then Colonel Acosta
is said to have discovered that no record
had been made of his nephew's arrest,
that no warrant 'had been Issued. He at
once preferred the charges against Del
Gado that resulted in an order from Ha
vana for his arrest.
Young Acosta was ald-de-camp to Gen;
eral del Gado during tho recent war, and
for a long time was his confidential secre
tary. Not long ago charges were made
against Del Gado by a number of cattle
owners In connection with the operation
of cattle-thieves.
OBLIGED TO DISGORGE.
Restitution Sccurad in Embezzle
ment Case in Mexico.
WASHINGTON. July 29. United States
Ambassador Clayton, at Mexico, has
succeeded in securing restitution in one
of the Jargest embezzlement cases be
fore the Mexican State Department.
Some time ago James Brown Potter, rep
resenting large American and English
Interests in the Tlahulllo Mining Com
pany of Mexico, appealed to the State
Department for justice, claiming that by
a fraudulent conspiracy some of the di
rectors of the company had embezzled
funds to the amount of over $2,000,000.4
xnis. it was cnargea, was accomplished
by packed elections and the bestowal
of Illegal powers upon one of the direc
tors of the company. The fact that some
Inferior Mexican officials were Involved
In the conspiracy made it almost impos
sible to obtain justice by the ordinary
methods.
The State Department referred the case
to Ambassador Clayton, and he brought
it to the attention of the Mexican Gov
ernment and pressed it so vigorously
that he is now able to report that the
conspirators have been obliged to dis
gorge all of tht money and securities
they have obtained by their fraudulent
operations.
Ynquls on the "Warpath.
TUCSON, Ariz., July 29. Driven to des
peration by hunger arid thirst, a band of
30 Yaquls, nearly half of them women,
swooped down upon the Carmen ranch,
near HermoslHo, Saturday, and a fierce
and bloody fight followed. The w.omen
fought with the ferocity of wild animals,
and when a patrol of Mexican troops gal
loped down to "the rescue, two of the
women ind five of tho men lay dead. Tne
Yaquls wero quickly overwhelmed. They
were, weak from hunger, and when at
tacked by superior numbers they were
compolled to surrender. Fifteen prison
ers were marched to Hermoslllo, where
they -will be sentenced by. General Torres.
There are two Yaqul chiefs among the
captives. The Indians are supposed to be
the last remnant of those who took the
warpath some time ago.
Not Binding on Cuba.
WASHINGTON, July 29. Information
has reached here that the lower branch
of the Cuban Congress has passed a reso
lution declaring that tho settlement made
by the United States Government with
the Catholic church regarding church
property In Cuba need not be regarded
as binding upon tho Cuban Government
and the church which was a party to the
settlement. If the resolution passes the
upper branch of tho Congress, tho whole
question of church property will be open
and will have to be adjusted by the new
government and the church authorities.
ACCUSED OP ASSASSINATION.
Arrest of the Chief of Police of a
Cuban Town.
NEW YORK. July 29. General Perlco
del Gado is under arrest, according' to a
World dispatch from Havana,' charged
with having assassinated Antonio Acosta,
a nephew of Colonel Baldomoro Acosta.
The arrest has caused a profound sensa
tion, as General del Gado Is- one of the
beet-known Cubans. He commanded the
Cuban sharpshooters who operated
against Weyler's black Spanish guerrillas
In the late revolution. He is now an ofll

auditor for the Southern Pacific Company
at Guaymas, who is in Los Angeles from
the latter place.
n MASSACRE IN MINDORA.
Natives on Trial for Killing: Four
Americans.
WASHINGTON, July 29. Manila papers
received at the War Department give
an account of the beginning of the trial of
23 natives in the Island of Mlndoro, who
are charged with killing four Americans.
The names and identity of the Americans
could not be learned. jFrom one of the
23 names arrested a partial story of the
massacre has been obtained. Tho four
Americans approached the shore of Mln
doro in a boat, and as soon as they landed
the natives attacked them, putting all to
death and mutilating them. The bodles
were put adrift in a boat. Tho finding of
the boat by the Americans led to the dis
covery of the crime and confessions from
some of the natives gave such facts as
have been obtained.
Threatened Trouble in Samar.
WASHINGTON, July 29. A Manila pa
per published June 19 has quite a long ac
count from Catbalogan, Samar, indicating
that the people of that island threatened
trouble because General Gueverra was not
made Governor. It Is stated that Samar
is keeping up Its reputation as the storm
center of the archipelago. In peace as
well as war, the turbulent spirit of its peo
ple shows Itself. Even the prospect of
civil government could not prevent a dis
play of opposition, and a vigorous expres
sion of the popular will that Samar's
choice was Gueverra, successor to Lukban.
and tho late leader of the insurrectionary
forces in that Island, and the stranger
from Cebu, even though fathered by the
civil commission, received scant courtesy.
Disorder was prophesied, should the peo
ple's wishes bo ignored. Governor Wright,
however, refused to weaken, and Florente
was Inaugurated according to the official
programme.

SEXATOR TELLER'S LETTER RE
GARDING HIS CANDIDACY.
If State Convention Fails to Nomi
nate Him, He Will Accept Such
Action as Final.
CRIPPLE CREEK. Colo.. July 29. The
Morning Times will tomorrow print a let
tor from United States Senator Teller to
W. H. Griffith, editor of the Times and
chairman of the Sliver Republican State
Central Committee, m which he says re
garding his candidacy to succeed himself:
"I do not desire tho committee to take
any action In the matter. I have carefully
considered the question as to whether I
ought to be a candidate or not, and I have
determined to leave that question to the
Democrats of Colorado in state conven
tion assembled. If the state convention
makes me its candidate for tho Senate, I
will accept such nomination and endeavor
to succeed myself: but if, on the other
hand, the state convention shall not see
fit to make such nomination. I shall ac
cept such action as final and will not be
a candidate for the Senate. I know of no
other way by which I can determine the
wishes of the people as to my candidacy
for re-election."
PEACE PATCHED UP.
Yonngr Withdraws Opposition to Re
affirming: IoTra Platform.
DES MOINES, July 29. The withdrawal
of Lafayette Young tonight as a candi
date for a member of the committee on
resolutions is generally regarded as end
ing the opposition to the reaffirmation of
last year's platform by the Republican
State Convention tomorrow. The objec
tion which had been made to the re
affirmation of last year's platform was
directed almost entirely to the clause in
the trust plank declaring for "any modi
fication of the tariff schedule that may
be required to prevent their affording shel
ter to monoplies." It was held by some
that the clause was a virtual admission
of the Democratic claims that tho tariff
fosters trusts. Senators Allison and Dol
Hver and the entire delegation in Con
gress are here to attend the convention.
"While some of the Congressmen have pri
vately favored a modification of last
year's platform, none of the delegation
has taken part in the contest so far as it
ha3 progressed.
The convention will meet at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. No opposition exists
to the renomlnatlon of Secretary of State
Martin, Treasurer Gilbertson, Attorney
General Mullln or Supreme Judges Ladd
and Bishop. B. F. Carroll, for Auditor of
the state, has a clear field.

Overcoming an Obstacle.
Youth's Companion.
Willie was a bright boy, of an inventive
turn of mind. At the age of 8 or 10 he
was seized with the "perpetual motion"
Idea, and began to make all sorts of queer
machines, despite the advice of his father,
who told him of men who had devoted
their lives in a vain search for perpetual
motion.
"It violates tho first principles of me
chanics, my boy," said his father. "Action
and reaction are equal, as you will under
stand some day. When you can pull
yourself up by your boot straps you may
hope to Invent a machine that "will start
Itself and run without stopping."
The next day Willie came to hla father
in great excitement and told him he had
done it pulled himself up by his boot
straps.
"It's no trick at all,", he said, as he
led the way to the barn, where he showed
his bewildered father a pair of old boots
nailed, soles up, to a beam overhead.
"There!" he exclaimed, as he climbed on
a box, reached up, ran his fingers through
the straps of the boots and pulled himself
-up. "What do you think of that?"
Willie's father did not reply In words.
Instead, he took a harness strap, and then
and there Willie gave an Imitation of per
petual motion which required no" elaborate
apparatus.

Crovrn Colony Established 1b the
Strictest Sense Next Step to
Be Taken.
LONDON, July 29. Mr. Chamberlain's
appearance In the House of Commons to
day was marked by a speech which won
the applause bf even such opponents as
Henry Labouchere. Mr. Chamberlain dealt
comprehensively with the past and future
of South Africa.
"We have no intention," he declared,
"that the Boers should break with their
old traditions. We desire that they should
reserve all the best characteristics of their
race, and hope they will shake hands with
us, thus securing prosperity In South Af
rica under the flag which protects differ
ent races and different religions."
That sentiment was the keynote of the
speech.
Dealing with the much-discussed labor
question. Mr. Chamberlain said he "believed
every inducement to labor should be held
out to the blacks, but no scheme of com
pulsory labor would receive the slightest
government support. There was no in
tention of packing the country with Brit
ishers, but so much Transvaal land wa3
lying idle that the colonies could only be
made a great corn-producing factor by
bringing in British settlers.
Sir Henry Campbcll-Bannerman supple
mented his congratulations by asking for
information of the colonial conference. He
expressed the hope that lenient treatment
would be extended to the Boers in 'South
Africa. Mr, Chamberlain replied that the
one spirit animating the members of the
conference was the desire to draw closer
together the consUtuent parts of the em
pire, and he thought it safe to say that
the conference had made important prog
ress toward permanent union, to which he
himself looked forward. Regarding South
Africa, Lord Mllner, the High Commis
sioner, had telegraphed spontaneously that
he did not think further legislation neces
sary to make the banishment proclama
tion effecUve. The government, however,
reserved to Itself the Important right Jn
the new colonies to refuse to allow the
return of or to keep watch over persons
who showed themselves inimical to good
order and peace.
"We are not going to allow the result of
tho war to be undermined," said Mr.
Chamberlain, "by intrigues carried on by
nominally constitutional means."
Regarcung the future status of South
Africa, the Colonial Secretary said the
Imperial Government has established a
crown colony in the strictest sense. The
next step would be to add a nominated
official element. Thereafter there would
be an elected official element, and then
nothing but circumstances and time would
separate the new colonies from full self
government, the ultimate goal of their
ambition.
Mr. Chamberlain's speech provoked crit
icism of the financial features of the pol
icy outlined for South Africa from Sir
William. Vernon Harcourt, James Bryce
and others. Mr. Bryce says he hoped the
naUonal scouts would not be used as po
lice, but Mr. Chamberlain said he could
not see why they should not be so em
ployed, as they would make admirable
civil guards. Mr. Chamberlain also said
he hoped the royal Judicial commission go
ing out to South Africa would exercise

Kept Tab on Receipts.
New York Times.
Money stories will crop out, even among
the cultured ones of Broadway. The latest
Is told by Peter Rice, of "Wrong Mr.
Wright" fame, regarding the manner in
which a clerical friend of Dan Sully's kept
"tabs" on the letter's receipts during Holy
Week in Denver.
The priest was, as a matter of course,
unable to attend the performance, but sent
his friend Sully an Invitation to dine with
him on Easter Sunday. During the dinner
the conversation turned upon Sully's busi
ness during the week.
"You did well In Denver, Dan," said
the priestly host.
"Very well. Indeed," replied Sully.
"Tho best business you ever did in the
town. I take it."
"Yes, it was." replied the actor; "but
how did you know?"
"Easy enough, my son. Every one who
has been to confession during the past six
days told me he had been to see "The
Parish Priest." "
A Graceful Apology.
Detroit Free Press.
Children, as a rule, are so frapk and
honest that their elders, who are more or
less prone to business and social duplicity,
might well pray for a. revlsltatlon of
youthful simplicity in word and deed.
"I like to study school children on the
street," said a genial gentleman; "and
sometimes they notice me. Then, of course,
I feel flattered, even If I attract uncompli
mentary attention from them. The other
morning I was waiting on the corner for a
street-car when a dainty little 6-year-old
girl came down the sidewalk. She was as
sweet as a flower, in a little pink gingham
frock, a littlo straw flat with pink rib
bons, and she had pretty blonde plaits. As
she neared me, tripping along lightly on
her little slippered feet, I turned my head
away a moment, but glanced back Just in
time to catch her making an awful face
at me. Something had gone wrong at
home with her, no doubt, and she was Just
in a humor to act ugly toward everything
that came In her way.
"She smoothed down her little features
as fast as she could when she saw I had
seen her making the face at me, and I
gave her a reproachful glance of such hor
rified astonishment that sho hung her
head and looked very much ashamed.
With her chin on her chest she walked
on about half a block. I still watched
her. She suddenly had an Idea, evidently,
for she stopped, looked back at me, saw
that I was still looking at her, and then
waved a little hand at me several times
In a very airy, light-hearted good-fellow-ship-klnd
of fashion. Of course I waved
my hand back at her, with hearty readi
ness. She waved again, and then tripped
on to school. Dear little girl how I ad
mired her! She had done wrong, but had
apologized."
