Any day, <lmost any hour, may bring the \announcement that the British minister 'at Caracas has been given his passport, ! with corresponding action toward the Venezuelan representative in London. The cause of the crisis does not seem to be confined to any particular incident, tbut consits in various differences which culminated in Venezuela assuming such an angry attitude as to leave Downiug street fully impressed with the bellef that the ‘Venezuelan government Intends to force matters to a crucial issue. That a diplo- ymatic rupture would result in hostilities "1s a contingency thus far scarcely contem- " plated. The present diplomatic relations are so I strained that, to quote a responsible Brit- 1sh official, it would make really very little difterence if the fact became public prop- erty by the absence of the diplomatic rep- resentatives from Caracas and London. As the Forelgn Office Views It. The view of the Forelgn office is that affairs have reached a stage where it is impossible to deal satisfactorily with Ven- ezuela in any matter which may come up. In proof of this contention the Foreign office instances ths report of the United States minister at Carac Herbert W. Bowen, announcing that the Venezuelpn Kovenrment had protested Against the Brit- ish flag being raised over Patos (or Goose sland) over which the Venesuelan govern- “ment claimed soverelgnty. According to the British government’s understanding Patos island belongs to Great Britain just #8 much as Trinidad, and so far as known D0 question as to its ownership has ever arieen. Inhabitants of the island have been shot cr otherwise endangered through the action of Venezuelans, whether government or revolutionary partisans s not known. For purposes of protection the local West Indian wuthorities-ordered the British flag prominently displayed on the island, hence the protest. ) An exceptionally prominent official said to a representative of the Associated Press this evening: “Affairs in Venezuela are so hopelessly muddled that we can get nothing done. There is no concealing the fact that the Veneszeulan government has | made heated protests to our minister. The chief grievance appears to be the allega- tion that the British government ig alding the revolutionary army. It Is needless to say this ls perfectly baseless. We only wieh the United States would take over the whole country and then perhaps we could get some peace. Of all the disturbances of the last decade the present seems the worst. This, with the attitude of the pres- ent government, makes us somewhat indif- ferent as to what may take pla Rely muel, “The Venezuelans appear inclined to be Tather reckless, thanks, chiefly, to what I presume i the mistaken notion that Wash- ington will protect them from the results of thelr own folly, however inimical that {may be to the lives and property of Brit- 1sh subjects and those of other Europeans. A8 we understand Monroeism, Venezuela 1s quite mistaken in this matter, though apparently the impression has much to do with her present action.” ‘WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—No notice of a ‘strain of the diplomatic relatione between Great Britain and Venezuela has reached the Department of Stat If such is the case, however, the department officials would have no hesitation in ascribing the «cause of the threatened rupture to the dispute which has been revived between the two countries over the ownership of | Pator or Goose island, lying in the Drag- on’s Mouth, between Trinidad and the Venezuelan coast. Minister Bowen last weok informed the epartment that the dirpute had taken an acute phase on account of the assertion of British sovereignty over the island, and as he, at the same time, sald Venezuela bad protested against the hoisting of the Dritish flag, it {s not doubted that to this incident must be traced any more serious dificulty between the two countries. STEAMER ALMOST ENGULFED Newington Has Narrow Escape from Soufriere While Engaged in R Pairing the Cable, BT. THOMAS, D. W. I, Sept. ~The table steamer Newington secured the St. Lucia end of the St. Vincent cable Sunday, four and a half miles from the Soufriere, and had just finished buoying it when there ‘was 8 sudden and violent eruption of the volcano. The steamer thereupon headed away from the land followed by dense clouds of smoke. It had a narrow escape and it is considered inadvisable for it to engage in further operations there, espe. clally as the cable was found to be greatly mangled. Newington will proceed to St. Thomas for a cable to complete the repalr of the St. Lucla-Grenada section. A violent eruption of the Soufriere was Observed Sunday night from St. Lucla.

PIUS TRIAL IS RESUMED Attorney for Archbishop Riordan of San Francisco Presents His Side of the Case. THE HAGUE, Bept. 22.—On the reas- sembling today of the international arbitra- tlon court, in the hearing of the clalm of the Unfted States against Mexico growing out of the Plus fund of California, Garrett McEnerny, the aleged adviser of Archbishop Riordan of San Francisco, resumed his ad- dress, which was adjourned from Septem- ber 17. He contended that the statutes of limita- tion deprived the Jesuits of the control of the Pius fund after Spain, Mexico and the bishops of California had succeeded as ad- ministratore. The archbishop of California, designated as administrator by Mexico In 1840, was logally entitled to both the capital and Interest. The decision of the arbitra- tion commission of 1896, condemning Mexico to pay, ought, Mr. McEnerny asserted, to be considered as beyond appeal Mr. McInerny concluded with Insisting on the improtance of the court's decision on the future of arbitration. Lawyer Raision of San Francisco empha- sized the same polnt. He said the decision would be equivalent to a legal judgment. The court adjourned until tomorrow. Sen- ator Stewart has left The Hague on his re- turn to the United States. ROUMANIA TO BE DEFIANT London Hears that Persecution of Jews in to Be Cont less of Consequences. LONDON, Sept. 23.—In a dispatch from Vienna the correspondent of the Times says he fears there is little doubt that the Roumanians have resolved to accept the consequences of setting at deflance the signatory powers and the public opinion of the civilized world, and to continue the persecutions of the Jews in order to com- pel them to seek asylum abroa HABEAS CORPUS IS DENIED Judge Gannt Turns Down Petition of Alleged Boodlers of St. Louts. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 22.—Word was received from Jefferson City tonight that Judge Gannt of the state supreme court rendered his declsion at 5 o'clock this afternoon on the petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed last week at Jefterson City to secure the release of former Delegates Schumacher, Helms, Tamblyn and Schnettler, now in Jail here on the charges of bribery and perjury. In his decision Judge Gannt re- manded the prisoner to the cusiody of the sherift and refused to fix the amount of ball. Recently a fund to defray the expenscs of prosecuting the boodle cases by public subscription was started and Cireuit At- torney Folk today issued a statement that $5,316 had so far been contributed. The grand jury met this afternoon for & brief in- quiry into city lighting legislation, only two or three witnesses having been summoned. One of the witnesses was Henry Loven- haup, an electriclan. Circult Attorney Folk is winding up the details in connection with the approaching trials of Ed Butler, charged with attempted bribery, October 13 at Columbla, and R. M. Snyder, indicted on a cbarge of bribery, mext Monday in St. Lovis. Deputy .sheriffs today rearrested former Delegates Jerry J. Hannigan, Ted Albright and Charles J. Denny on information filed by Mr. Folk to take the place of the bench warrants. The three men gave renewed bonds In the sum of $30,000 each. two charges being included In the informations It devéloped today that & bodyguard has been appoluted for John K. Murrell, ex- wember of the house of delegates, who re- turned from Mexico and turned state's evi- dence, to protect him from possible harm at the hands of anyone who may attack him on account of the revelations he has made to the grand jury. NO ANSWER TO HAY'S NOTE Nome, However, is Expected Excepting Mere Acknowledgment Through Diplomatic Sources. WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—No answer has yet been received from either Ruesia or Austria at the State department in re. sponse to Secretary Hay's presentation touching the Roumanian Jews. Moreover, it may be said, that mo amswer is ex- pected from any powers upon this subject beyond the formal - statement from the Unlted States ambassadors and ministers abroad that they have complied with the department's instructions to read thg notes to the foreign ministers, who have re. turned acknowledgments of the same and promises of consideration. The reason for this expectation lles in the fact that the department's function touching the Jewish question terminated, or at least were indirectly suspended, upon the presentation of its Dot Having called the attemtlon of the signatory powers to the infraction by | Roumania of the treaty of Berlin, it now remaine for the powers to decide what shall be done, if indeed, anything is done. Consequently ~ whatever correspondence follows on the subject of trealmcnt of the Roumanian Jews probably will be ex- ross the Isthmus. It is stated here that | Colombia’s agreement with the Panama rail- | road company specifically provides for the transportation of Colomblan soldiers by the rallroad when occasion arises, and the com- mander’s action is regarded at the legation here as a direct infringement of Colombla’s soverelgnty over the Isthmus. Commander McLean, in having the troops transported In a separate train from their arms in acting as apparently in accordance with his construction of that part of Secre- | tary Moody's instructions, cabled on Satur- | day, which read: “Any transportation of | government troops not in violation of treaty, and which would not endanger transit or | provoke hqgtilities may not be objection- able. The department must rely on your Judgment to decide such questions, as con- ditions may arise from day to day. | What it May Mean. Naval officers say the commander evi- | dently belleved the transportation of the | troops, rifies in hand and cartridge belts tull, might “‘provoke hostilities,” while en- route across the isthmus. A bellef which has grown so strong that it can no longer | be dlsregarded is held in Central and South American diplomatic quarters here in re- | gard to this latest and in point of num- bers almost unprecedented dispatch of naval force to the isthmus. This belief (and it should be stated that the impression pre valls in epjte of emphatic expressions of high officials of the United States govern- ment to the contrary) is that the large naval force which has been sent to keep trafic open across the isthmus will pre- vent by its very presence, the continuation of hostilities along the railroad on any ex- tensive scale, and soon bring them to a halt altogether; that the force has been sent there In anticipation of an early signature of the Panama canal treaty, and that it will be kept there to maintain order and ulet along the-strip from Panama to Colom, which by the terma of the prospective treaty the United States is to control. Salazer Sees the End. The following important dispatch was re- celved at the Colombian legation here to- night from Governor Salazer of the De- partment of Panama: PANAMA, Sept. 22.—Rebels have re- treated to 'Agua Dulce. Rallway traffic perfectly free. The Interior of Colombla completely pacified. Today additional re- infercements reached Colon from Barran- quilla. Rebels admit hopelessness of their cause, The legation officials assert that the re- treat of the rebels to Agua Dulce marks practically the collapee of the rebellion. For a long time the only important revo- lutionary movement, they say, has been in the Department of Panama. Agua Dulce is elght days' hard march from Panama. The large number of troops being concen- trated in and around Panama and Colon, the legation representatives say, will fore- stall the probability of any attack by the rebel en should they rally their forces at Agua Dulce. The opinion is expressed at the legation that the latter either will be forced across the boundary line into Costa Rica, or they will be disarmed, or attempt to reach Corinto, Nicaragua. A late dispatch received at the Navy department today from Commander Me- Lean of Cincinnati contained an encour- aging report of the condition of affairs at the isthmus. It was to the effect that rallway trafic now was perfectly free and was belng conducted without any obstruc- tion. Report Herrera Retreating. PANAMA, Sept. 22.—Government soldlers captured by General Herrera at Agua Duice and who were compelled to join his army and who succeeded in escaping, arrived here today. They confirm the report that the whole revolutionary army has adandoned its camp near Chorrera and is retreating toward Agua Dulee. It s reported that Herrera has incorporated in his army all the guer- rilla bands he can induce to join him. The abandonment of the Chorrera camp, it is claimed, dispels all fear of an interruption of trafc on the rallroad line and renders it impossible for a battle to occur at Pan- ama or Colon. Relnforcements of Colomblan troops con- tinue to arrive on the isthmus, which, it 1s alleged, undoubtedly caused General Her- rera's retreat Ready to Make Terms. SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Sept. 22.—General Vargas-Santos, chief of the Colomblan revolutionary junta in New York City and one of the directors of the revolution, who removed here last month from New York, will remain in San Jose, having found the city strategically valuable for his purposes. | It is possible to communicate quickly with the revolutionists from here, and Gen- eral Vargas-Santos will make use of these tacilities of communication to direct the movements of the rebels. The general says that when the isthmus falls into the hands of the revolutionists, which he hopes will soon come about, he will then be ready and willing to make peace with the Colombian government, pro- viding all interests in Colombia are repre- | sented and considered in the egotiations to this end. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Sept. 22.—Orders were received from the Navy department today instructing the officlals at the naval acad- emy to bold all the marines at this station in readiness to be sent to the isthmus of Panama.

SCRANTON, Pa., Sept. 22.—Sherift Schadt of Lackawanna county tonight telegraphed Governor Stone to eend troops to his as- sistance. The sherifft had just given to the mews- paper men a proclamation announcing he would call troops if the lawlessness did not cease, when he recelved a series of telephone calls to quell disturbances up the valley. He found on investigation that the situation was such that he could not cope with it and sent a call for troops. Adjutant General Stewart called the sherift by telephone and had a long conference with him. The adjutant general suggested that a posse of members of the citizens' alllance be called upon for assistance. While the sheriff was preparing to act on this suggestion he received more reports of violence up and down the valley and at once sent another urgent telegram to the governor calling for immediate ass! ance. The worst of tonight's outbreaks oc- curred at Archbald. A crowd of 200 strik- ers, mostly foreigners, ransacked the quar- ters occupled by the forty men employed at the Raymond washery of the Ontarlo & Western company, while the men were at work, and upon meeting with the men as they were returning drove them back The wmob then returned to the colliery proper, drove out the engineers, firemen, pumpmen and guards and took possession of the breaker. The plant of the Crescent Electric Light company, which is supplied with steam from the breaker, had to shut down and the whole region around was left in dark- mess. In the attack on the breaker two men were shot, one a striker, and the other a workman. Their names or condition could not be learned. Chief Deputy Sherifft Miles McAndrew was attacked wnd #hot at by a mob st Oly- phant. The steampipes of the Pennsylvania Coal company's colliery at Old Forge were blown up with dynamite tonight. Two colored cooks at the Willlam A. Colllery were rescued by deputy sheriffs from a crowd that was threatening to lynch them. Sherif’s Preliminary Warning. Prior to his call for state troops to- night Sheriff Schadt of Lackawanna county issued a proclamation in which he said in part: “I am informed that since the miners’ strike began numerous acts of violence, in- the | timidation and terrorism have been and are It is a mat till being committed in the county, hav- ing for their object Intimidation of men who wish to work for the support of them- At | selves and their families and the punish- | ment of those who are at work.

SHENANDOAH, Pa., Sept. 22.—Sheriff Beddall and halt a dozen deputies arrived here this morning and attempted to arrest the strikers, who h been taking the coal from the mine breaches at the Girard colliery. The men resisted arrest and the sheriff appealed to General Gobin for sistance. The general ordered the Second city troop to the scene to assist the sherift in the discharge of his duties.

TRENTON, Neb., Sept. 22.—(Speclal Tel- egram.)—Trenton and surrounding country has witnessed one of the heaviest and longest rainfalls ever known after an in- terval of drouth of several weeks dura- tion. The precipitation is reported from three to seven inches. Canyons and low places were full of running water, from a few inches to several feet deep. The Re- publican river overflowed its banks, carry- ing away the approach to the east bridge. Canyone and streams are reported from three to seven feet higher than was ever known. A little stream known as Elm Creek, about two miles west of town, was swelled into a miniature river. The water spread rapldly along the road, running over the grade and B. & M. track, washing out about seventy ralls and ballast of the grade. The engineer of No. 14 saw the condition of things In time to avert a wreck. The section men reached the eastern part of the washout on the trip out, but had to turn back on account of the high water. | No. 5 was tied up here, No. 14 was backed to Stratton, Nos. 6, 3 and 2 went over an- other route.

It wae a bril- liant affair. Nearly §00 men sat at tables on the floor of the armory and the galler- les were crowded to their utmost capacity by brilliantly gowned women and their es- corts. The armory was decorated in green and wbite maple branches and lights were everywhere. When the presi- dent rose to begin his address, which was the first of the evening, he recelved an ovation. ¢The men on the floor stood up and cheered again and again, while the clapping of hands in the gallery was like the crackle of musketry. The president spoke as follows To His Comrades. Mr. Mayor, Men and Women of Michigan and Particularly You, My Comrades Who Voluntee: in” the War with Spain: I thank you for your greeting.

Fillpinos' Prospects. Last week I ordered a taking of a census of the islands, and two years hence, ac- cording to the law of congress, the first #tep will be taken toward giving the peo- ple a legisiative assembly. No other Ori- ental country in the possession of a forelgn power, indeed, no Orlental country at all save Japan, his been given any such mea; ure of self-government and personal free- dom as we have already given to the Fill- pinos. One of the most important recent meas- ures has been the providing of a cable for the Philippiries, this being necessary both from a commercial and from a military standpoint. With Cuba the matter {s different. We pledged ourselves sglemniy at the outhreak The of the war with Spain to give to Cuba independence. The world at large sncered at the pledge and even some of our own people scoffed at the thought that we in- tended to keep it. But we have kept it in good faith and with a keen regard for the welfare of the Cubans. We did not rn Cuba_loose to sink into a welter of anarchy. We first administered the affairs of the island until order had been brought out of chaos, until the cities had been cleaned, the courts purified, an educational 8y m_ started and a just and efficlent government introduced. ' Then we turned the new republic over to the hands of those vhom its people had electod as its serv- ants, and bade it Godspeed on Its journey. | Must Still Befriend Cuba, But nelther our duty to nor our interests in the island have come to an end with the establishment of its independence. Its immediate proximity to the United States rendered its well being of such interest to us that we were forced to interfere in its interest by force of arms. For the same reason its future welfare cannot but be a matter of grave concern to us. We do not desire Cuba to stand toward any other nation n the relation of intimate friendship and alllance that we desire to see it adopt toward us. It must therefore be fn a cer- tain sense a part of our international politi- | eal system, and It accepted this position | when it accepted the Platt amendment. But it is out of place for us to expect that it will assume such a position toward us with regard to international politics with- out at the same time sharing somewhat in the benefite of our economlc system. It was for this reason that President MeKin- ley urged and that I have since urged and shall continue to urge the need of estab- lishing closer relations with Cuba by recl- ¥rm~ll)‘» We urge rprlprr\cll?" because it is 'or our interest to control the Cuban mar- ket, because we are bound to place the Cubans on a peculiar standing economically when they consent, in our interests as well as their own, to assume a pecullar status internationally and because it is fitting for a great and generous republic to stretch out a helping hand toward her feebler sister just starting to tread the path of independence. Without P The case stands by itself and there can be no other like it. Porto Rico, Hawall and the Philippines have relations of varying intimacy to us and they have either been admitted within our economlc system or have been given some of the benefits thereof. Cuba, though independent, also stands In a pecullar' position toward us and should recefve in similar fashion a measure of benefit from and partial {nclu- sion within_our system e questions that ordinarlly concern us as of prime welght in a tarlff matter do not come in here as of primary importance. We eannot choose what the articles are which Cuba shall_export. Doubtless very many of us would prefer for reasons conneeted with our own tarift policy that her Inhabitants were engaged in different industries from which they as a matte; of fuct now follow Iel. just as doubtless othurs of our people would prefer that the market offered by Cuba was one for other things than those she demands but we can nefther determine the wants nar the productions of Cuba. No Harm in Reciprocity. I do not belleve a particle of harm will come to any American interest from th adoption of a_reasonable measure of rec procity with Cuba. 1 am certain the adop- tlon of such a measure will be In the in- terest of our people as & whole.
