A Revolutionary Committee
Formed in Chicago.
RAISING MONEY FOR THAT PURPOSE
Steamer Dauntlen Applies for Permis

With Arms.
Chicago, Dec. 30. According to Wong
Ching Foo, editor of the Chinese News,
Chicago is to become headquarters for
the Chinese revolutionary junta. This
body plans the overthrow of the present
Chinese dynasty by an armed - invasion
frrra a convenient island to the South
seas. Rooms for the junta have already
been engaged in this city, and the Mon
golians here now await the coming of
San Yat Sen to get the machinery in
operation which is to open China to
Western civilization. -
San Yat Sen is the Celestial revolu
tionist who recently was kidnaped in the
streets of London, and whose release was
effected by Lord Salisbury. He is now
collecting money and organizing his fol
lowers in England. He will sail for
America within two or three weeks,
where he will confer with Wong Ching
Foo, of Chicago, and other leaders of the
Chinese reform party in this country.

Steamer Dauntless Granted
mission by Carlisle.
Washington, Dec. 30. For the first
time since the present struggle in Cuba
began this . government has given per
mission to customs officials to clear for
Cuba a vessel loaded, according to mani
fest, with munitions of war, presumably
for the insurgent army.
Yesterday the secretary of the treas
ury received a telegram from the owners
of the Dauntless, at Jacksonville, stating
that they would apply to the collector of
customs at Jacksonville for a clearance
to. a Cuban port with a cargo of arms,
but the oaths required by the statutes
would not be taken. The question was
aBked whether under these circum
stances papers would be issued. . Later
a telegram was received from the col
lector at Jacksonville Btating an applica
tion to clear the Dauntless for Neuvitae,
Cuba, with a cargo of arms, bad been
made, and asking instructions.
This morning the secretary replied
substantial! as follows :
"If the master of the vessel and the
owners, shippers and consigners of the'
cargo comply fully with the laws and
regulations concerning the manifest and
take the oaths required, you may grant
a clearance to Neuvitaa, Cuba. Oaths
must be taken and subscribed in writing,
as required by sections 4197, 4198 and
4200 of the revised statutes.
The port named aa the destination is
on the Northern coast of Cuba and is
occupied by Spanish forces. Treasury
officials therefore are of the opinion that
the oaths required will not be taken
Distress Among: Farmers of an Argen
tina ProTlnce.
New York. Dec. 30. A Herald dis
patch from Buenos Ayrea 8nys :
The agricultural commission appointed
to investigate the coudition of agricul
ture in the province of Santa Fe will
make a report to President Unburn this
week.
The report will, it is said, show a dis
astrous state of affairs among the farm
ere. in the province. It will recommend
as the only salvation commercially an
issue of $1,000,000 in mortgage bonds V
be used in assisting the farmers in tb s
crisis. .
Other measures of relief will also be
proposed in its report. The commission'
ers say that the corn crop in the prov
ince will fall 50,000 tons short of the ac
tual necessaties of the people.
Buenos Avres is now eending grain to
Santa Fe to relieve the distress. In or
dinary times the yield in that province
is 500,000 tons, but the whole crop this
year is practically a failure. The Buenos
Ayres farmers will continue to send
grain to Santa Fe for the relief of their
countrymen, though that will prevent
their exporting any grain.

Colonel Tlohy la Forming: a Regiment
of Bohemian-Americana.
Chicago, Dec. 30. "We are going to
fight for the independence of the coun
try, whether the United States recog
nizes it or not."

each man must not only be a Bohemian,

States. It is expected 500 men will be
enlisted within a week. "
