Foreign Admirals.
RESULT OF CAMN KILLING
Particulars of the Bloodv
Battle of Yesterday.
Convention of the Cretan Assembly De
manded and a Force of Cretans
Placed at the Disposal of the Inter'
national Administration.
Caxea, Sept. 3. The president of the
Cretan executive committee baa notified
the foreign admirals that in view of the
massacre at Canda it is impossible to
continue the effort to organize the ad
ministration until the Turkish troops
and functionaries have Deen withdrawn.
He demands the convocation of the Cre
tan assembly, and proposes to place a
force of Cretans at the disposal of the
the international administration.
THE BATTLE OF YESTERDAY.
Turkish Troops Refuse to Aid in the
Restoration of Order.
London, Sept. 8. The correspondent
of the Times, at Canda, telegraphing on
Wenesday, fully confirms earlier reports
of most serious events.
Lieutenant Haldad was killed and
Lieutenant Seagraye wounded. The
soldiers pluckily carried Lieutenant
Haldad's body to a boat, under a bail of
bullets. The telegraph office was re
peatedly set on fire, and the father of
the telegraph superintendent was killed.
Worse is feared. - As to the fate of the
majority of the christians, it is reported
that only 259 have been saved out of
over 1000.
The situation was extremely difficult.
The Turkish troops refused to aid the
British, and there being exceedingly few
of the latter in the town, they were soon
overpowered. 1 Forty wounded were at
tended to by the warships.
Mohammedans are pillaging- Canda.
Edhem Pasha, the governor, declares
the mob is uncontrolable. - As -the dis
patch goes, reinforcements aro arriving
on the Italian flagship Francesco Moro
eini. The correspondent later says :
Refugees are now coming on board the
Camperdown, many of them wounded.
They tell a tale of great massacre.
UNITED STATES
A NAVAL POWER
Achievements of Our Ships Will Prob
ably Bring Foreign Contracts to
this Country, According to I. M.
Scott's Opinion.
New York, Sept. 8. Irving M. Scott,
of San Francisco, vice-president and gen
eral manager of the Union Iron Works,
at which the Oregon was built, arrived
from Europe on the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Grosse and went to the Hollann bonse.
Mr. Scott said he went to RusBia to
farther American interests on the east
ern coast of Siberia, and incidentally to
crack up the performances of American
built ships of war.
"Russia," be continued, "is under
going marvelous industrial develop-
ments in every direction. Railroads are
being built and manufacturing ia ad
vancing rapidly.
"A great field of American industry is
opening, particularly on the Pacific coast
near the terminals of the n -. railway.
Merchant vessels are in m ind, and
iron and steel will be needc. Hod it was
to get our share of this tradf more than
anything else that I went abroad. My
visit, I think, will reEult in our getting
contracts for some of the new warships
which are to be constructed for the Rus
sian government.
Our naval victory at Santiago was an
eye-opener to all Europe. There had
been a great deal of skepticism before
the war about our navy, and the experts
were inclined to think our shipbuilding
in the experimental stage.' The cruise
of the Oregen was an object lesson to all
the world in what a battleship can do,
and now everyone recognizes our war
ships as of the best. No such perform
ances have been dreamed of abroad, and
the prestige of our navy rose to the
highest point. There was a keen in
terest taken in everything we did, going
into details.
"The destruction of the torpedo-boats
was the cause of a revision of all foreign
naval programs. Tbe battleship . was
elevated to the place and importance it
deserves, and much doubt was thrown
on the utility of the torpedo-boats. In
conseqnence all the powers have cur
tailed their outlay for these crafts and
are doing more for heavily armed and
armored vessels."
Mr. Scott will spend a week or ten
days in the city. During bis etay he
will visit his masterpiece, the Oregon, at
the navy yard.
ATTEMPT TO KILL
THE CZAR
Moscow Buildings Was to Have Been
Blown up While the Royal Par
ty Was Passing Two Killed,
Many Injured.
Kkw Yoek, Sept. 8. A World dis
patch from London says :
A report is published here of a daring
plot to assassinate the czar at Moscow
last week. The plan of the conspirators
was to allow gas to escape into a house
on the route of the czar's procession un
til the atmosphere in every room was
saturated. One of their number was to
remain in the bouse and strike a light
when the czar was passing in tbe ex
pectation that the house would be
blown to pieces and tbe czar killed. The
conspirator would perish himself as a
sacrifice to the cause.
This duty fell to the lot of one Alex
ander Kolanoff. In his agitation be
seems to have made an error, as the
explosion was mistimed. When it oc-
cured a staff officer and his wife were
driving past, and they, instead of the
czar were killed. Their coachman will
die of bis injuries, and about thirty
persons were more or less injured.
KolanofTs mangled body was fonnd
among the rains. The czar and czarina
drove by 25 minutes later.
Many arrests have been made in Mos
cow, but the Russian press has been for
bidden to refer to the matter. '
MADRID GOVERN
MENT IS ISOLATED
Chambers Opposed to its Policy in
Regard to the Conclusion of
Peace.
Madbid, Sept. 8. Newspapers assert
that the government is surprised and
chagrined at the attitude of the con
servatives of the chamber, which indi
cates that the government is isolated on
questions of such magnitude as the con
clusion of tbe peace treaty. Continuing,
tbe papers rx press the opinion that
this foreshadows the downfall of the
ministry. The chamber does not meet
today.
The cabinet this morning decided to
take tbe most stringent measures to
prevent tbe publication of the pro
ceedings of the cortes and to provide for
a censorship of telegraphic dispatches.
AN ATTEMPT
TO ASCERTAIN
THE TRUTH
Investigation of War De
partment May be Made.
ALGER HAS REQUESTED IT
And is Joined by Adjutant General Cor
bin The President Has Not Yet
Come to Any Decision in Regard
to the Matter.
Washington, Sept. 8 Secretary Al
ger has requested the president to order
a thorough and searching investigation
of the war department. In this request
the secretary had been jorned by Adju
tant-General Corbin. No decision has
been reached yet by the president as to
what course be will pursue. He has the
request of Secretary Alger under con
sideration, but has not yet determined
whether he will grant it or not. Secre
tary Alger had a long conference with
tbe president tonight, before be left the
city, and impressed upon him bis
earnest desire that an investigation,
such as he had requested, be ordered.
It now seems not unlikely that the in
vestigation will be ordered, but it is the
wish of the president further to con
sider the matter before announcing a
definite policy.
The question probably will receive
consideration at the cabinet meeting
tomorrow.
Mr. M'Guire's Fish.
San Fbancisco, Sept. 8. Several sal
mon, averaging 28 pounds in weight,
have recently been caught in the Sacra
mento river. From tbe fact that the
adipose fin had been removed from each
they were identified as fish liberated
from the hatcheries on the Claskamus
river, in Oregon, in 1897.
This discovery is eaid to refute the
theory of Doctors Jordan and Gilbert,
who have maintained that salmon re
main from three to four years in the sea
before reaching tbeir majority, and then
return to fresh waters to spawn.
Beats tne Elondlca
Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville.Tex.,

than has yet been made in the Klondike.

consumption, accompained by bemmor
rhages; and was absolutely cured by
Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump
tion, Coughs and Colds. He declares
that gold is of little value in comparison
with this marvelous cure ; would have it,
even if it cost a hundred dollars a bottle.

lung affections are positively cured by

Day At Ellensburg.
.- Eli.knsbubg, Wash., Sept. 8. The
populist, democratic and silver repub
lican state conventions accomplished
but little at this morning's session, ow
ing to the fact that the conference com-
milt3e on apportionment of the officers
was not ready to report. A movement
was inaugurated looking to the adoption
of a anion platform by appointment of
a committee to confer on the subject.

A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle at
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de
Cuba 'Were all neroea Their Heroic
Kfforts in Getting; Ammunition and
Rations to the Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Sandiago, De Cuba, on
July 23d, eaye: "We all had diarrhoea
in more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see a
doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush
night and day to keep the troops sup.
plied with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to
keep nt work and keep our health; in
fact, I sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers bad been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that a wagon train could use. My com
rad and myself had the good fortune to
lay in a supply of this medicine for out
pack-train before we left Tampa, and I
know in four cases it absolutely saved
life."
