Oil as Fuel Here to Stay.
New York, Dec. 19, It Is the opin
ion of those most interested that oil
as fuel for locomotives has come to
stay, at least In certain parts of the
country where its use has been a suc
cess in that regard, both In results on
engines and the economy obtained in
cost of fuel. Within a short time the
Southern Pacific will have a complete
system of stations for supplying the
fluid to engines, huge tanks having
been built for the double purpose of
storage and feeding. They occupy
points about 100 miles apart on the
average, except in the desert and
some other places where circum
stances permit of 160 miles.

Italy Would Leave the Entire Matter
In the Hands of Minister Bowen
Secretary Hay Will Attempt to Ob
tain Castro's Acquiescence.
Washington, Dec. 19. It Is an
nounced at the state department this
morning that answers have been re
ceived from the triple alliance con
cerning the proposal of arbitration
made by President Castro through
Minister Bowen. The answers while
admitting the correctness of tho prin
ciple of arbitration, are not regarded
as satisfactory on account of the con
ditions imposed.
The answer of Great Britain was
most favorable. Germany Interposes
so many conditions as to make her
answer anything but n consent to ar
bitration. Italy, in as much as she
is the youngest member of the alli
ance. Is willing to abide by the dis
positions of the other two nations.
Even Great Britain's answer contains
a number of stipulations which would
require time for adjustment before an
arbitration could be entered Into.
The character of the objections to
immediate arbitration interposed by
Germany and Great Britain Is not
made public, further than that one
condition is that there must be some
guarantee that Venezuela will fulfill
the judgment of tho arbitrators. It
is seml-officlally learned that one of
the conditions laid down by Germany
Is Venezuela s apology for the arrests
of the German, consular officials and
the sacking of the consulate at Cara
cas. Secretary Hay Immediately took
the answer of the three powers to a
cabinet meeting, where It was dls
cussed. It was decided to make ef
forts to obtain Castro's acqulscence
in as many of tho conditions ns possi
blc, while at tho same time it is diplo
matically suggested to Germany nnd
Great Britain that they recede from
the more onerous stipulations.
Italy Ready to Arbitrate.
Itome, Dec. 19. Tho foreign office
officials believe that the proposition
for arbitration of the Venezuelan dis
pute through Bowen will bo accepted,
and say that it will end tho matter so
far as Italy is concerned.
Minister Bowen as Arbitrator.
Rome, Dec. 19. The Italian govern
ment Is trying to Induce Germany and

Santa Maria Still Active Business
Paralyzed Price of Necessities so
High That Few Can Buy Them.
Guatemala City, Guatemala, Dec. 19
It Is probably due to some govern
ment instructions that tho papers
hero have not said anything with ref
crence to tho eruption of the Santa
Maria volcano, which can bo consid
ered, because of Its magnltudo, as a
national calamity. Tho losses suffer
ed by German capital are not less
than fO, 500.000. consisting of houses
nnd machinery destroyed, and the de
struction of tho present coffee crop.
If the total destruction of many othor
properties belonging to other foreign
ers, as well ns to natives, is added to
this amount, the actual losses ascend
to a fantistlc sum.
The volcano Is still In activity and
a new eruption Is feared at any time.
Suffering Is Indescribable, for, be
sides tho loss of coffee, which Is es
timated at about 300,000 quintals, tho
corn and wheat fields aro ruined.
Owing to the unusually high rato
of exchange, business is entirely par
alyzed, for nil Imported articles have
reached such prices that very few
persons can afford to buy thoin, and
most of tho merchants sell Just
enough to cover their expenses.
The worst part of tho present bad
condition Is that no one knows how
or when it will chnngo, and It Is al
most unendurable lust now. Articles
of first necessity havo reached Inac
cesBablc prices, and the poor class of
people Is suffering therefrom.

Themselves to Blame.
After Indulging In ruinous competl

Swiss gentlemen have solved the prob

Richmond Girls Must Ask "Got

Richmond, Va., Dec. 19 In the
houso of dolegates today. Dr. W. II,
Ware, a practicing physician, Intro
duced a bill to make promiscuous
kissing a misdemeanor It Is the first
measure he has presented oxcopt by
request. Prartlcally all Dr. Ware will
say of his bill Is that while It ought
to pass, he has no Idea that It will be
adopted. Tho act reads as follows!
"Whereas, kissing has been decld
ed by the medical profession to be a
medium by which contagious and In
fections diseases are transmitted
from one person to another, am
whereas tho prohibiting of such an
offense will ho a great preventative
to the spreading of such diseases as
pulmonary tuberculosis, diphtheria
and many other dangerous diseases;
therefore, he it enacted by the gener
al assembly of Virginia:
"1. That It shall be unlawful for
any person to kiss another unless ho
can prove by his family physician
that he has not any contagious or In
fectlous disease.
2. If tho physician testifies that
tho defendant has weak lungs ho
shall bo found guilty of a misdemean
or, and the same penalty shall be im
posed as if ho had some contagious
or Infective disease.
"3. Any person, violating the pro
visions of tho first and second sec
tions of this act shall bo deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and fined not
less than $1 nor more than f 5 for each
offense."

Would Incorporate Steamship
Transportation Company and Dis
tribute to Colored People Mome
steads of 20 Acres Each.
Washington, Doc. 19. Sonator Mor
gan of Alabama, Is working upon his
plan for colonizing the Philippines
with negroes from tho United States.
He has urged his schome upon tho
president, Secretary Hoot and Gov
ernor Tnft ami believes that It will ro
suit eventually In millions of negroes
emigrating to tho Philippine Islands.
Ills plan Involves the Incorporation of
a steamship transportation company
and tho distribution of homosteads of
about 20 acres each. Speaking of tho
project. Senator Morgan said:
"The principal reason for my atti
tude In the senate toward rotalnlng
the Philippine Isslands Was my belief
that thoso Islands would afford a homo
for tho negrops. When I first CAmo
to congress I Introduced a resolution
to recognize the Congo Fret' Statu as
an Independent tuition merely to af
ford tho negroes of this country a
place to which they might emigrate
when their numbers Increased to an
extent that would mako emigration
necessary The resolution passed the
senate and house and the colonization
of negroes In Congo was well under
way when the United Htntes acqulrod
thn Philippines.
"Tho acquisition of that territory
opens up a now and vastly superior
country for them. Tim land Is richer,
the climate better suited to thniu and
thero they would still ho uudor oii'
flag. I took tho matter up with Socro
tary Root and wroto to Oovcrnor Taft
for Information and Ideas on a plan
for colonizing negroes thorn. Both
were favorably Impressed and all the
movement noedH Ih a starter."
Senator Tillman of South Carolina,
does not tako any stock'In Morgan's
plan. Scnutor Tillman said:
"Suppose that negroes aro sent to
tho Philippines; there will ho tho cost
of trnnsportntlon to tho Pacific ocean,
or somo temporary habitation until
they aro able to provide for thorn
selves and of feeding them until they
raise a harvest and market their first
crop.
"If this worn all the Kovornment in
tended lo do for them tho Item of ox
ponso would bo enormous. It would
bo necessary to tax tho people to tho
point of oppression. No. sir; any nucli
plans aro chimerical drcums of thn
wildest character."
