SHOULD TAKB PARI OF DEBT.
America's Influence With Panama
Be Exerted to This End.
Will
Wnehinston. Nov. 25. The British
government is showing an interest
the fate of the bonds insued by Colum
bia and taken up by foreigners, mostly
British nd Dutch holders. Mr
Raikes, the British charge here, had a
half hour's talk today with Secretary
Hay at the state department, and it is
believed this subject was touched
upon.
The position of the department in
brief is that it cannot dictate to the
new republic of Panama what dispo
sition shall be made of the money
which is to be paid over by the United
States in consideration of canal fights,
but it certainly holds it is only right
and just that Panama, in concluding
treaty of peace with Colombia, shall
make provision for the assumption of s
fair share of the national debt. So it
is expected the moral force of the de
partment will be put forth in this di
rection.
The state department has not yet
been informed officially of the result of
General Reyes' mission to the isthmus.
It is believed here that the principal
purpose of the visit of General Reyes is
to try to effect an adjustment of his
country's troubles by securing for the
Colombian government some share of
the" money which the United States,
under the newjtreaty, will pay to Pan
ama.
WANT CUBA TO WAIT.
Senate
Leaders Agree to Defer Vote
on Reciprocity.
Washington, Nov. 25. The Repub
lican and Democratic leaders of the
senate were in conference much of the
time today over the question of fixing
a time for a vote on . the Cuban reci
procity bill, and, so far as they were
empowered to do so, entered into an
agreement to take the final vote on De
cember 16, or a little more than a week
after the convening of the regular ses
sion of congress. There was no oppoi-
tunity to consult some of the Demo
cratic senators who desire to speak on
the bill, but it is not doubted that they
will assent to the arrangement.
The treaty for the cession of the
island of Pines to Cuba was today fav
orably acted upon by the senate com
mittee on foreign relations, ana it win
be favorably reported to the senate at
the next executive session.
The senate committee on foreign re
lations today authorized a favorable re
port on the bill giving effect to the
Cuban reciprocity treaty.
EVERY COUNTRY AT FAIR.
Press Parliament at St. Louis Will Be of
Extensive Scope.
St. Louis, Nov. 25. The executive
committee having in charge the world's
press parliament to be held in St. Louis
during the week beginning May 16,
1904, has announced plans for the par
liament. It will include representa
tive newspaper men from every country
where newspapers are published. Ar
rangements already perfected Indicate
that it will be the .largest and most
notable gathering of newspaper workers
ever held.
The traffic bureau of the exposition
has issued a book, compiled by C. L.
Hilliary, traffic manager, containing
full information regarding railroad mat
ters pertaining to the fair. One point
stated is that all exhibits transported
to the Louisiana Purchase exposition
from points in the United States will
be returned free of charge to the point
of shipment by the railroads which ear
ned them to the exposition.
The contract was let today for the
Indian building, which the government
will erect at a cost of $25,000.
Wholesale Cancellations.
;Valla Walla, Nov. 25. Wholesale
ancellation of homestead entries in the
Walla Walla land office district by the
department of the interior is in pros
pect, over 60 claims being now recom
mended for cancellation. Notices for
several of these were served today,
thus revealing the fact that a wide-
reaching investigation has been in
progress. Most of the claims involved
are in Franklin county, where a home
stead rush two years ago drew out
clerks, school teachers and all kinds
of people.
, Insurance Companies Combine.
San Francisco, Nov. 25. A combine
of all the plate glass insurance compan
ies in this city has been formed, and as
a consequence, rates on this class of
risks will, it is said, be nniforuily
raised throughout the Pacific states.
Although this branch of insurance does
not command the immense volume of
business of fire, marine and life, there
is no less than $100,000 a year in pre
miums that is divided among the seven
or eight agencies here.
Another Cot toe Mill Cats Wares.
Fall River, Mass., Nov. 25. The
cotton mills known as the Fall River
Iron Works, owned by M. C. D. Bor
den, of New York, will follow the other
local mills in the rednetion of wa-jjee.
Nearly 10,000 operatives will be affect

MAJOR SCOTT DECEIVED BY M0R0
LEADER HASSEN.
Three Hundrel Natives Killed Major
Scott and Five Privates Wounded on
the American Side Forces Under
deneral Wood Completely Rout Rebels
Further Uprising Not Probable.
Manilla, Nov. 25. Three hundred
Moroa are known to have been killed
and many others were carried off dead
or wounded, as a result of five days' se
vere fighting in Jolo between the Ameri
can troops under General Leonard Wood
Soil? ef6ufleVntu cavalry, and
hve American privates were wounded.
General v ood landed near Siet Lake,
in Jolo, November' 12. The Moros
were soon located, and fighting began
immediately ami continued until No
vember 17.
Major Scott was taking Panglima Has
sen, the Moro leader, who had been tak
en prisoner, to Jolo. hue en route,
Hansen asked to be allowed to see his
family. His appeal was granted, and
he thereupon led Major Scott into an
ambush, where the American detach
ment was fired upon. Major Fcatt was
shot in both hands. Hansen succeeded
in escaping during this unexpected at
tack, but is suiiposed to have been
killed the following day.
The fighting took place in a country
covered with swamps and rocks. The
Moros were driven across the country
from biet Lake to the town which Has'
sen haa made his headauarters. and
where it was reported the Moros were
2,000 strong.
The rebel position was attacked in
the flank by the American troops, who
occupied the town and inflicted a loss
of 50 killed on the Moros' side. Hag'
sen with a small party, was sur
rounded. The rest of the Moros went
into the swamps out of which they
were driven on November 16, leaving
7b dead behind them. On November
17 the American forces renewed the at
tack on the retreating Moros, of whom
40 more were killed.
The rebel forces have been literally
destroyed by these operations. Gen
eral Wood says the indications are that
there will be no extension of the upris
ing which was handled without diffi
culty.
On November 18 General Wood
started on an expedition against a body
of 2,000 Moros who are in the moun
tains back of Tablibi. No news has
yet been received as to the result of
this movement.
General Wood had under him two
battalions of the Twenty-eighth in
fantry regiment,' one of the Twenty
third regiment, a platoon of Captain
George Satley's battery, two troops of
the Fourteenth cavarly, and a detach
ment of engineers. Major Scott, assist
ed by a force composed of three com
panies of the Seventeenth infantry, a
platoon of Captain D. J. Rumbough's
battery, and a troop of the Fourteenth
cavalry.
SHIP DISCOVERY LOST.
Wreckage Found In Northern Waters
Seals Fate of Crew and Passengers.
Seattle, Nov. 25. A special disiiatch
to the Post-Intelligencer from Juneau,
Alaska, announces that J. Bent, a pas
senger on the steamer Excelsior, Cap
tain Moore, arriving today, reports that
a mass of wreckage from the steamer
Discovery has washed ashore at the
mouth of Seal river, 30 miles below
Yakutat. Bent's information makes
practically certain that the Discovery
is lost, and leaves little hope for either
passengers or crew. It is believed, in
fact, that everybody on board perished.
lhe wreckage found, Bent says, con
sists of pieces of life boats, life pre
servers and large pieces of her hull.
He states that a terrible storm pre
vailed for a week prior to November
16, on which date he boarded the Ex
celsior at Yaktitat, having walked 90
miles from Seal river to catch the
steamer.
The Yukatat Indians were watching
the beach for bodies and they claim to
have found a large piece of i,ast and a
man's coat.
Ships Ordered to Colon.
New York, Nov. 25. Orders to pro
ceed to Colon are reported to have been
received by the commraanders of the
battleships Kearsarge and Massachu
setts, which are now at the New York
navy yard. All the officers have been
summon! by telegraph, and those
who are 'here have been told they are
to remain on board. The Kearsarge
coaled last week and nearly all her
stores are now on board. Sixty ma
rines have been added to her company.
The Massachusetts is in dry dock, but
will be out in a few days.
Ship Lost With Many ol Crew.
Point Arenas, Cal., Nov. 25. The
steamer Scotia has arrived here with
five of the crew of the French bark
Fra icoife Koppe, which was wrecked
last week near Point Reyes. Thirteen
of the crew are unaccounted for. The
Francoise Koppe was bound from New
castle, Australia, to San Francisco,
and " was 79 days out. The Francoise
Koppe was loaded w ith coal. She was
a steel bark of 1,728 tons and was built
at Nantes, France, in 1900.
Robbers Try to Cut Rings Off.
Marion, Ind., Nov. 25. Burglars
entered the home of John Shippey, a
lumber merchant, last night, and at
tempted to cut off the .fjngers of his
daughter, Edith, to secure her diamond
rings. The girl's screams ceased the
burglars to flee. Three men have been
arrested on suspicion.
AMERICA WAITS ON PANAMA.
Cabinet Decides She Must Ratify the
Canal Treaty First.
Washington, Nov. 24. Several sub'
jects of Interest and importance were
considered at today's meeting of the
cabinet, which was attended by every
member. Matters relating to' the situ
ation in Panama were the most import
ant topics discussed. The president
and Secretary Hay have decided, and
the decision meets the approval of the
cabinet, that the existing government
of Panama must ratify the canal treaty
before action relating to its ratification
by the senate is taken. The adminis
tration has determined that there shall
be no repetition of the failure of Co
lombia to complete the ratification of
the treaty after final action had been
taken by the United States senate
The treaty will be placed m the
hands of the Panama commissioners
now in Washington and by them it will
be taken to Panama.
This government, it is anticipated,
will ratify it promptly. It is expected
that it will be returned to Washington
bearing the seal of the Panama govern'
ment early ' in December. President
Roosevelt will then transmit the treaty
to the senate with a request for its rati
fication. Secretary Moody presented the cab
inet some interesting details just re
ceived by him from Commander Hub
bard, of the cruiser Nashville, at Pan
ama, concerning ttie early phases of the
revolution. They came by mail and
contained important details not hereto
fore known by the administration.
They will be made public soon.
INVITES CUBA TO BB STATE.
Newlands Introduces a Resolution
Pro-
vldlng for Annexatloa. ,
Washington, Nov. 24. Senator New-
lands, author of the resolution annex
ing Hawaii, today introduced a joint
resolution inviting Cuba to become a
state of the United States upon terms
of equality with the states of the union.
The resolution provides that Porto
Rico shall become a county or province
of Cuba; that all present officers of
Cuba shall retain their positions until
their terms expire ; that the $35,000,-
000 bonds of Cuba shall become the
bonds of the state of Cuba, with inter
est reduced to 3 per cent, and 2 per
cent to be applied to a sinking fund ;
that the present rural guard of Cuba
shall be incorporated into the army of
the tnited States; that the money in
the Cuban treasury shall become the
money of the state of Cuba. The reso
lution closes with the following declar
ation :
The foregoing resolution is inspired,
not by a desire to annex forcibly, or to
assert sovereignty over the island of
Cuba, or to exercise any form of com
pulsion, but solely by a regard for the
interest of the two countries, and a con-
iction that the interests of the states
composing the federal union and Cuba
are identical, and they can be admin
istered by union under one form of gov
ernment, all shall be represented on
equal terms and be governed by equal
and undiscriminating laws insuring
freedom of trade and equality of rights
and privileges."
RUS5IA PREVENTS ITS OPENINd.
Powers' Scheme at Port of Yongampho
Is Again Balked.
London, Nov. 23. The Daily Mail's
okio correspondent has received tele
grams from Seoul saying the Russian
minister has again successfully inter
fered to prevent the opening of Yong
ampho, consent to which the Corean
foreign minister was on the point of
communicating to the British, Ameri
can and Japanese ministers on Tuesday
ast.
The Times' Shanghai correspondent
says a private letter from an official at
Mukden- states the Russians have treat
ed the native authorities with the ut
most indignity, openly declaring the
re-occupation was intended as an inti
mation that Russia would not permit
the exercise of treaty rights in Man
churia, and alleging the United States
and Japan have recently concluded a
convention.
The Times' correspondent at Tokio
confirms the statement of the Daily
Mails' correspondent that the Russian
minister at Seoul has been successful
preventing the opening of Yong
ampho.
American Fleet Win Quit Beirut
Washington, Nov. 24. Admiral
Cotton, commanding the European sta
tion, has been authorized to leave Bei
rut with the flagship Brooklyn and the
cruiser San Francisco, and is expected
to sail in a fey days for a cruise in the
Mediterranean, preparatory to coming
to the United States to take part in the
naval maneuvers in the Caribbean.
The withdrawal of the American fleet
from Beirut, after a stay of several
months, is made with the consent of
the secretary of state, they being now
considered unnecessary.
To Protect Fur Seals of Alaska.
Washington, Nov. 24. Senator Dill
ingham has introduced a concurrent
resolution providing that the secretary
of state request the government of
Great Britain to unite with the United
States in a revision and amendment of
the regulations now in force for the pre
teetion and preservation of fur seals of
Alaska. It is declared by the resolu
tion that the present regulations have
proved wholly insufficient to serve the
purpose for which they were created.
Sewer Cave-la Burled Six Men.
Youngstown, O., Nov. 24. Early to

sewer gave way and buried six work
men underneath ten feet of sand and

injured today in a head-end collision
between a west-bound freight train and
a work train on the Cleveland, Cincin
nati, Chicago & St. Louis rairload, be
tween Mackinaw and Tremont, 111.
The bodies have been taken from the
debris, which is piled 30 feet high on
the tracks, a huge pile of broken tim
ber, twisted and distorted iron and
steel. The bodies are so mangled that
many are unrecognizable. All the
dead and most of the injured were
members of the work train. The crews
on both locomotives jumped to save
their lives.
The collision occurred in a deep cut
at the beginning of a sharp curve,
neither train being visible to the crew
of the other until they were within 80
feet of each other. The engineers set
the brakes, sounded the whistles and
then leaped. The trains struck with
such force that the sound was heard for
miles around. A second after the col
lision the boiler of the work train ex
ploded, throwing heavy iron bars and
timbers 200 feet.
Conductor J. W. Jude, of Indianapo
lis, who had charge of the freight train,
received orders at Urbana, it is said, to
wait at Mackinaw for the work train.
The freight train did not stop. The
engineer of the work train, George
Becker, had orders, it is said, to pass
the freight at Mackinaw, and was on
the way there. The work train was
about five minutes late, and was run
ning at full speed in order to make up
time. When about two miles from
Ninert and entering a cut, both engi
neers saw the approaching trains and
realieid it was impossible to stop.
They threw on the emergency brakes.
whistled twice and then leaped from
their cabs.

THE CANAL TREATY.
Substance of the Document Signed by
Bunan-Vartlla and Hay.
Washington, Nov. 21. Although
the treaty has not been made public,
the Associated Press is enabled to gm
the substance of the document. It con-
?8ta 0,.betw.een 22 25 articles, but
me umm points oi me convention are
contained in the flrst six articles.
The keynote of the treaty is the pro
vision in one of the very first articles
by w hich Panama cedes to the United
States whatever land or lands in the re-
Dllhlin of Panama iltia t.,M.Ann,n
. shall find desirable in connection w'th
01 tne cnal Within this soue, the
power of the United States is absolute
as if the tone were part and parcel of
this country.
In general, it may be said that while
the new treaty contains many of the
provisions of the rejected Hay-Herran
i treaty, it is not huswi nn that
conven
tion, but follows not only the spirit,
out tne letter ot the Spooner act.
Thus, instead of the lease for a fixed
period of the canal strip, this new
treaty provides for a perpetual grant of
the right of way to the United States,
and instead of a complicated provision
for courts of fixed comnosition. half
American and half Colombian, to ad
minister justice over the canal strip,
the new treaty permits this government
to exercise the most complete jurisdic
tion thereon.
Permission also is given the United
States to fortify the line and the termi
nals, and it may police it with troops.
That portion of the treaty dwelling
with the fortification of the terminals is
rather general, but sufficiently explicit
not to be misunderstood.
The cities of Panama and Colon re
tain their municipal autonomy under
the republic of Panama so long as they
maintain public order and sanitary con
ditions to the fatisfaciton of the
United States. Failure to do this gives
the United States, according to the
treaty, the right to'force strict compli
ance with the wishes of this govern
ment in this direction, and the United
Statse can even use force to compel
obedience to its rules as to public order
and public health in these cities.
The money consideration is the same
in the new treaty as in the Hay-Herran
convention, with the exception that
the $10,000,000 go to Fanama instead
of to Colombia. The treaty further
provides that the canal is to be neutral
and open ot all nations on even terras.
Secretary Hay had a conference with
the Panama minister late last night.
and the general terms of the treaty
were agreed upon.
CURB FOR CONSUMPTION.
Russian Physician Is Having Remark
able Success.
Moscow, Nov. 21, Remarkable cures
of consumption have recently been
effceted in Russia by Kisel Zaogranski,
formerly a mining engineer, and now
especially licensed by the Russian med
ical department' td practice medicine.
Zagoranski has given the Assoicated
Press an account of the origin of his
consumption cure, from which it ap
pears that 30 years ago he was sent to
Siberia to superintend extensive min
ing works. The medical facilities
there were extremely limited, and Zag
oranski himself attended to the medi
cal wants of the workmen to the best
of his ability.
An old foreman of the mine, how
ever, always took care of consumption
cases, and almost invariably cured
them. The foreman died some years
ago, confiding his tuberculosis cure to
Zagoranski, who continued to use it.
Hearing a rumor that John D. Rocke
feller, of the United States, had offered
an immense prize for the discovery of a
consumption cure, he consulted Ameri
can Consul Smith, who, with his broth
er, W. E. Smith, began a' systematic
observation of the cases of several pa
tients, and eppecially that of an Eng
lish lady, an acquaintance of the con
sul, who had been given up by the doc
tors. She submitted to Zagoranskrs
treatment, which was given under pro
fessional medical observation. This
occurred last spring, and the cure ap
pears to be permanent.
