COLON, Colombia, Oct, §.—(Previous ca- bling this matter prevented.)—A force of Uberals, numbering at least 250, attacked Morro island, commanding the entrance to the port of Tumaco, September 24. The island had all along been garrisoned with fewer than 100 troops, well supplied with Arms, ammunition and commissary stores, ncluding more than 150 head of cattle and other provisions in proportion. The landing was effected before day- break by means of canoes. Simultaneously the island was stormed from the other end by liberals on the mainland. Morro island s surrounded by shallow sandbanks and the only means of approaching Tumaco s by the Narrow river, which is within easy | range of the fsland. The British cteamer Quito, hound from Guayaquil, Ecuador, for Panama, and touching at ports between, anchored off Fiorro island on the night of September L6 and welghing anchor at daybreak, started up the stream toward Tumaco. The liberals fired a shot across its bows. Suspecting the situation it immediately turned, but rifle shots and one cannon continued to be fired at it, the former atriking the boat sey- oral times and the latter once, the ball making a hole right through above the water mark, though the damage in other respects was slight Quito then steamed to the farthest point the tide would permit and again anchored. The firing was now resumed, but it ceared aftor a few minutes, tho libera having discovered the imprudence of their action. Tt s significant that shortly after the Quito incident became known the British warship Icarus left Panama for a destina- tlon uot made public, but presumably Tu- maco. The steamship agents bave heen officially notified not to accept freight at the port, KAISER'S AMBITION FOR CUP Soun s the German Rullders as to 'helr Abllity to Conatract in { Columbia‘s Cla aaasse | by Press Publishing Co.)

(Copyright, 1001, RUSSIA DEMANDS STIFF PRICE on of Valuable Port the Pay- ment for Medinting with France. LONDON, Oct, 8.-The Brussels corre- spondent of the Times quotes a dispatch sent by the Constantinople representative of the Independence Belge, which repeats the rumor that Russia wil intervene in the | dispute between Turkey and France. The porte 1s sald to be willing, in exchange for Russta’s assistance in obtaining a friendly settlement, to cede to Russia the port of Bughas, seventy-six miles northeast ot Adrianople and only ten hours' steam from Constantinople.

The cut in the price of granulated sugar to all Missouri river points, which was announced last week, has been followed by a reduction in the price of beet and cane sugar in all states from Colorado to California. The reducs tlon was announced by the Western Sugar Refining company and amounts to 30 cents a hundred on beet sugar and 12 cents a hundred on cane sugar Robert Oxnard, vice president of the Amerlcan Beet Sugar assoclation, which fs opposing the trust, said: “It 18 a fact that the Western Sugar Re- fining company has made a decline of 20 cents per hundred on their cane sugars and 30 cents per hundred on their beet sugars. This makes the difference in thelr price between cane, granulated and beet granulated 20 points Instead of 10 points as heretofore. The cut affects all mar- kets, from California to Colorado, Inclusive. 1 know of no change in the general sugar rituation to account for it. Fyrther than this I'do not care to discuss the matter at present.” In order to-diseriminate furthor apathst beet sugar, the Western Sugar Refining company, which is allled with the Sugar trust, has announced that it will entertain no orders for granulated sugar which call for over h0 per cent of beet sugar, of which there is a small supply in this market.

Charles Stone, brother of the captive missionary, wishes activity for the fund to continue for a few days longer. He hopes that the cable dispatches indicating that the brigands have granted A month’s time are right, although he has ing repeatedly sent messages Lo both Con- stantinople and Samokay.

Mackey appeared as attorney for Major Hawkes, the prosecuting witness. Former Assistant Secretary of War George D). Melklejohn, resuming his testi- mony, detalled a conversation which he had with Hawkes in which the latter had declared that unless he was appointed to a position he would publish the details of the hemp combination. Mr. Meiklejohn told him that so far as he was concerned he might do so. It was during this conver- sation that Hawkes told him of his con troversy with Flint, Bddy & Co., Hawkes expressing tle opinion that his appoint ment had been revoked because of t controversy. 8 T. Brown, a clerk in the offce of the auditor of the War department, was called to testify as to the auditing of a dispatch Colonel Helstand had ent to General Otls It appeared that the dispatch was audited among others, the aggregate tolls of which were in excess of $5.000. The account was certified to by Adjutant General Corbin The records showed that the cost of the Helstand cablegram was $58.12. Prior to the statement of Witness Brown, Mr. Need- hani, Helstand's attorney, had informed the committee that it was Colonel Heistand's intention to pay for the cablegram to Gen- eral Otls and for the reply thereto. Corbin was recalled and ox- plained that he certified as to the accuracy of the account of the board of accounts Personally he 1ld not examin ever telegram involved in the account and did not do so. | Licutenant Colonel Carter testified that every effort was made by the board of | examiners to eliminate telegrams which did not ag with official business. Ho | had not seen the Heistand dispatches No additional facts were developed dur- ing the cross-examination. Attorney Mackey pressed a number of questions as to why Mr. Meiklejohn did not answer the | letters Hawkes wrote. Coples of these lot- ters were in evidence, but not the origl- | mals. Mr. Metklejohn said he may or may | not have roceived them. He directed them to be filed, but did not consider replies i necessary. Mr. Mackey, counsel | Hawkes, asked if the proposed hemp com- | pany was not abandoned because Flint, Eddy & Co. had a monopoly of the hemp | business in the Philippines, but Mr. Meikle John replied that he never knew anything about Flint, Eddy & Co. The committee | declined to permit counsel to ask questions designed to bring Secretary Root Into the {nvestigation, Senator Cockrel declaring all such matter improper, as Secretary Root was not under investigation. L. T. Michener was recalled to testify as to an alleged telephone communlecation between himself and Meiklejohn relative to the Hawkes' statement. He denied any knowl- edge of such a communication. Mr. Meikle john had testified that he had no such communication. The committee did not conclude, as anticipated yesterday, and will meet again tomorrow. | Has Charge of All Operations Since Opening of Spanish-Ameri- can War. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—The work of tha army brevet board, headed by General Mac- Arthur, which was begun today, 15 to be comprehensive. Its scope has been en- larged greatly. While it was Intended Chinese and Philippine campaigns should be considered, the board has been chargad to include the Spanish-American war opera- tions. All the nominations sent to the senate last session recommending brevets for the Spanish war service have heen withdrawn and the present hoard conse- quently will have a clean field. There are | more than 1,000 of these nominations, the | result of the work of the Schwan board | which dealt with Cuban brevets, and a board headed by General Chaffee at Manila which made recommendations for brevets based upon service in the earller stages of the Philippine campaign. Tt is deemed well to recommit all these nominations to the present board, which, having in hand the whole subject, can ar- | range a more uniform and equitable sys- tem of awards than would be possible for a board dealing with only one phase of the campaign. This board may recommend also the award of medals of honor. It is likely that a medal may be recommended for be- stowal upon Colonel Theadore Rooseveit now president of the United States, for dis- tinguished gallantry In the Santiago cam- | palgn.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) | WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 —(Special Tele gram.)~When Former Assistant Secrefary of War George D. Meiklejohn got through with his testimony today befors the sub- committee of the senate charged with | investigation of the alleged Manila corner, he was in & somewhat frazzied con- dition. Not so much on account of what the members of the subcommittee got out of Meiklejohn, but on account of the iIn quiry leaving him in a position to be | mildly censured with Colonel Helstand for using his position to further his own in terests. The former assistant secretary was a very falr witness for himself, but he failed explain away to the satisfaction of some of the members of th ommittee at least, why Hawkes, the complaining witness In thia | Investigation, was appotnted to his positton in the Philippines immediately after he had | settled with Colonel Helstand. To one of | the members of the committes this tact was #0 eignificant that he made the remark ‘Meolklejohn allowed his - sympathy to {Ret the better of his judgment. It is belleved the commitiee will mildly criticise Mr. Meiklejohn for | his appointment of Hawkes, in view of | all the facts In the case, but will censure Colonel Helstand for his fallure to pay t cable tolle on telegrams of a private naturo and for using his official position to ad vance his private fortunes. Mr. Meiklejohn has decided to remain in Washiugton until tomorrow evening, i1 order that he may hear Major Hawkes' testimony.
