MARINES IN RUSH.
Board Prairie With Their Entire
Equipment Under Sealed Orders.
Colon. Feb. 16. Hurried orders
from Washington were received to em
bark a battalion of marines on the
Prairie. A special train left Colon
this morning and returned at noon
with the 450 marines, who were en
camped at Bas Obispo station on the
Panama Railway.
The Prairie boats were kept busy all
day embarking the camp fittings, bag
gage, stores, etc., and this task is not
yet finished.
Major Lucas will command the bat'
tallon, and the Prairie will sail tomor
row under sealed orders.
It has leaked out here that the ma
rines are destined for Santo Domingo.
Only about 100 marines now remain at
Bas Obispo.
Deny Going to Santo Domingo.
Washington, Feb. 16. Naval officials
say that while the Prairie with the 450
marines from Colon aboard will touch
at Santo Domingo, that the real desti
nation of the vessel is the naval sta
tion at Guantanamo. The purpose of
taking the men there, they say, is to
give them a change of climate ana surroundings.
After they have been at Guantanamo
for awhile, probably they win no sent
' back to the Isthmus, if the United
States continues to keep up its present
marines there, and others will be given
an onportunlty to go to Guantanamo.
Officials say it is not the Intention
of the United States to Increase Up
marine landing force in Santo Domingo
waters, that there Is already an ade
quate number of men on board the
ships now in tnose waters u any urc
needed Tor landing purposes.

BLOW AT AMERICAN MACHINERY,
English Firms Call Attention to Farm
ers to Lapse of U. S. Patents.
London, Feb. 17. It Is expected that
the monopoly so long enjoyed by
American manufacturers of agrlcul
tural machinery in England and the
British colonies will bo seriously at
tacked shortly. A private circular Is
ticlng Issued to farmers by a number
of leading British engineering Arms
pointing out that many of the Amerl
an patents havo now lapsed, and that
isers of American machines need no
longer bo afraid to introduce English
nade parts to replace thoso that have
lecomo worn out or otherwlso dam
aged.
The two or threo English firms tnat
have been in any way able to com-
loto with America In tho way of agrl-
ultural implements are particularly
ictlve in tho present movement, but
the tctrmers are somewhat afraid or in
fringing the American patents without

Eat 30,000 Horses a Year.
Paris. Feb. 17. Eating horseflesh by
tha noor in Paris Is increasing to such
an extent that tho abattoirs will have
to be enlarged, The present consump-
t on Is 30.000 horses a year.
The horse meat Is somewhat darker
and stronger than beef, but It Is not
unnalatable. It has grown In popu
larity since the siege. Tho flesh of
the horse and tho ass Is about half the
price of beef, but the former is uo-
rnmlne dearer.

Chefoo, Feb. 16. A reliable author

boats have been sunk by guns from

Japanese, vessels.
Tokl, Feb. 16. Thoro Is consider
able ground tor believing that tho re
port of threo Russian cruisers having
been sunk In tho straits of Tsugnro
Is at least true in part. Thoro Is no
confirmation of the report, hut It Is
bulcvcd that one on more Russian
warships wero destroyed by tho mines
at the entrance to tho straits.
London, Feb. 16. Tho correspondent
of tho Dally Express at Pekln. in a
cablegram dated February 12, reports
that Viceroy Alexleff Is practically Is
olated, direct communication between

that the Japanese warship Amakl has
captured the German steamer Yoko
hama, which had a cargo. Including
dynamite, for Port Arthur.
The Nagasaki correspondent of tho
Dally Telegraph expresses the convic
tion that Russia Is quite unable to hold
tho Liao-Tung Peninsula and that
Port Arthur Is bound to fall by tho
ctuuxlon of time, even without an assault.
Red Cross Women at Work.
St. Petersburg. Feb. 16. American
and English women here have started
on the preparation of materials for
tho Red Cross Society with Just as
great heartiness as the Russian women
engaged In the same work. Various
committees and sewing circles that had
been already organized effected a gen
eral organization today at a meeting
held tn tho Anglo-American Church.
These women renllzo that both
armies engaged In the conflict will
make largo demands on humanltarlsm,
Irrespective of raco and they have nat
urally decided to assist the sufferers

WINS ANOTHER TRIUMPH.
Russia and Japan to Accede to Terms
of His Note.
Washington. Feb. 17. Secretary
Hay has added another to his long
list of diplomatic triumphs, and tho
United States is onco moro enabled
by his diplomacy to head tho nations
in a concurrent effort to preserve tho
integrity or China.
Mr. Hay s note of February 10 to
Russia and Japan, urging them to
connno hostilities within as small an
area as possible and to respect tho
neutrality and administrative entity of
China, will bo accepted by Russia, as
well as by Japan, and all tho nations
will Join tho Washington government
in Inviting tho combatants to agree to
tue proposition.
France Accepts.
Washington, Feb. 17. M. Jussorand.
the French Ambassador, called upon
Secretary Hay today at his residence
to Inform him officially of Franco's ac
ceptance, and inferontially It Is known
mat jiussias acquiescence will be
communicated very soon. At tho Rus
sian Embassy tonight no Intimation
had been received of the government's
probable answer to Secretary Hay's
note, but Count Casslnl, tho Russian
Ambassador, will Inform Sccretarv
Hay as soon as St. Petersburg advises
him.
Acceptance by the nowers of thn
Washington government's suggestion
will bo followed by a further exchange
of views as to the practicability of the
suggestion, to tho principle of which
ill havo given their adherence. As
the note Is of the most general char.
acter, It will bo necessary to discuss
it some length the possibilities it contains.
It Is generally understood Hint hn.

China Is concerned,, to Manchuria,
