AR R R e e NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—The Herald will say to-morrow: In September, 1897, only a few months before the war, W. Clarke Marshall, a retired meat packer of Chicago, wrote to Sec- retary Alger about dangers that lurk in canned meats. There is no proof that General Alger ever saw the communication, but the fac-simile published in the Her- ald is indisputable proof that Generals Eagan and Sternberg saw it and penned indorsements upon it. The letter was sent back to Mr. Marshall, with a note of comment that w-3 nothing short of a snub. A year later, when soldiers were dying like sheep in camp, Mr. Marshall wrote to the War Department again, calling atten- tion to the poisonous proclivities of chemical beef. This commu- nication also was put through the red tape routine of the War Department and officially in- dorsed by Generals Eagan and Sternberg. The letter was re- turned to the writer with the surgeon general's report that “this man” had added nothing to his communication of the year previous.

Before his de- parture from Rome Queen Margaret, his aunt, presented him with an Italian flag embroidered by her own hands, with “Sempre avantl Savoia” (Always for- ward Savoy), .a motto identified with the family. In receiving the gift the Prince said: ‘“This flag shall wave over the north pole or I shall not re- turn.” The Queen had difficulty in suppress- ing her emotion and pressed his hands, exclaiming: “You will return, Luigi. You will return.” STRIKE RIOTS IN COLON. Stores Closed to Prevent Them Being Looted by a Mob. COLON, Colombia, Jan. was much commotion in Colon to-day arising from the strike of the @ockmen hand railway employes, and large crowds of men and women gathered at various points in the city. The military guards were reinforced and a numbesr of shots were fired in the air for the purpose of intimidating the crowds. During the demonstration several persons were wounded. . A number of stores have been closed, the proprietors fearing that their es- tablishments would be looted by the mobs. Efforts are being made by the strikers to prevent the workmen in the machine shops and the switchmen from continuing work. JUSTICE AT LAST | CUBAN SOLDIERS 28.—There | SHOULD BE PAID Views of Havana’s Civil Governor. SENOR MORA TALKS PLAINLY | IMPORTANCE OF THIS QUESTION NOT REALIZED. Money Needed to Enable Island War- riors to Get a Start in the ‘Work of Agricul- ture. " Speclal Dispatch to The Call. HAVANA, Jan. 28.—Senor Fredrico | Mora, the civil Governor of Havana, in an interview to-day declared that the question of the payment of the Cuban army was of much greater importance than the Washington Government seemed to realize. He said if the Cubans were to collect the customs of the island, which were their property, thelr first action would be to meet Cuba’s sacred obligation to the army | by payment in full of the soldiers. The | customs administration being in the hands of the Americans, the Cubans made a simple business proposition to the United States Government that it should advance money to pay the troops, holding the customs as security. If the Americans were not present, Senor Mora further said, :Cuba could easily obtain the ne Fal The distribution of this money to the army was essential to permit the eéuntry to proceed with the work of agriculture, which must form the foundation of its reconstruction. The army--contained many men who considered that Cuba | was in a position to demand-the full payment of the army by the United States, and asserted that other action on the part of the American Govern- ment would be worse tyranny than was exercised under a Spanish sovereignty. Senor Mora considers the underesti- mation of the importance of this mat- ter unfortunate, and his views are held by a majority of the Cubans. The heat of the discussion is daily increasing and the newspapers of the island are full of | | arguments in favor of the payment of | the army. General Snyder reports ‘that 500 or 600 members of the Cuban army are camped ' near Sancti Spiritus, loafing | about ‘and pilfering and begging food. General Snyder sent word to.them that if they would come to Sancti Spiritus to help the Americans ‘clean'the town they would receive pay and rations, | but the offer was refused, the Cubans replying that they were soldiers, not scavengers. A prominent Spaniard, long a resi- dent of Cuba, all of whose interests are here, declares that if the Americans to- morrow demanded the disarmament of the Cuban army without pay a storm of passionate protests would follow, but the army would obey, possibly a few becoming bandits and taking to the hills. He says the most salutary steps taken by the Americans since their ar- rival on the island have been those en- forcing obedience to and respect for their authority. A policy of too great consideration in the Americans’ rela- tions with the Cubans produced the impression that the Americans feared them. The recent strikes in the country on { | plantations and railways are said to be due to the fact that the Havana police and other Cuban servants of the Government are paid too much. This breeds discontent among the laborers, who consequently demand more than the farmers can afford to pay. WALTERS ARRAIGNED IN SUPERIOR COURT Slayer of Alfred Cook at Napa Given Until Monday to , Plead. NAPA, Jan. 28.—Jesse Walters was arraigned before Judge Ham in the Su- perior Court this morning on the charge of having murdered Alfred Cook, and was given until Monday to plead. Before the time for pleading was set Attorney Beerstecher, on behalf of the defendant, made a motion to have the prisoner discharged on the ground that there was no reasonable ground to be- lieve him guilty of the offense charged or of any public offense, and that the defendant had not been legally com- mitted by a magistrate. District Attorney Bell read a recent decision of the Supreme Court that where a magistrate had held a prelimi- nary examination and had committed the defendant the Superior Court could not review the evidence on a motion to dismiss the charge. This could only be done by habeas corpus proceedings. It was on this showing that the court denied the motion. TOPEEA’'S BOILERS DISABLED. The Cruiser Examined by Surveyors and Condemned. SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO, Jan. 28.—The United States cruiser Topeka left here to-day in tow of the supply ship Sterling. Several days ago orders were received for the Topeka to con- tinue her cruise, but her engineer re- ported that her boilers were disabled and that It would be unsafe to pro- ceed. The local board of surveyors made an examination and condemned the vessel. officers that the disabling of the To- peka will lead to an investigation by the Secretary of the Navy. - It is the opinion of prominent naval | MRS, YOUNG 1 DANGEROUSLY ILL Alleged Firebug’s Wife Breaks Down. CONTRACTS A HIGH FEVER HAD REFUSED TO PARTAKE OF SUFFICIENT FOOD. For the First Time Since Her Incar- carceration She Permits the Attendance of a Phy- sician. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 28.—For four days Mrs. Augusta Young, the pretty wife of the alleged incendiary of Ti- buron, who “jumped” his bail and fled the country to avoid trial has stood up pbravely and thrown down the gauntlet to. all her enemies. - Though ill, she has utterly refused to see a physician or take any medicine. To-day the collapse came. The ex- cited condition of the fair prisoner’s mind and her overwrought nerves, | taken in conjunction with her refusal to eat a proper amount of food, proved too great a strain for her frail consti- tution. Sheriff Taylor entered the cell to find Mrs. Young in a high fever. Dropping her mantle of regerve, she demanded that a-physician be immedi- ately summoned. Dr. W. F. Jones was sent for-and pronounced the patient to be in a serious condition. He pre- scribed for her and returned later in the evening to see how she was pro- gressing. Nobody but the officials and the physician are now permitted to en- ter the cell. Mrs. Young has admitted to Sheriff Taylor and District Attorney MclIsaac that when she came to San Rafael last Monday she was unaware that her hus- band had deserted her. This entirely destroys the “‘martyr” theory of yellow Journalism. She has also unwittingly corroborated a strong point in the evi- dence of an important witness. If her physical condition does not improve ioon it may never be necessary to try er. DINNER IN HONOR OF MISS VIRGINIA FAIR Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont Entertains Her Future Daughter-in- Law.

Within Two Years Trains May Be RBunning From Valdez Straight Through to Eagle City. Special Dispatch to The Call SEATTLE, Jan. 28.—Private word reached Seattle to-day that the Gov- ernment is contemplating vast improve- ments in the CoppemRiver country and will this year send three detachments of militia there to lay out a mail route to the Yukon and -establish posts. The three bodies of military men will go northward from Seattle in the early spring, the first detachment - leaving here probably in March. They will be thoroughly equipped with surveying in- struments and other tools and in a po- sition to have the trail complete by the end of the season and ready for use next winter. The route will be from Valdez around the Valdez Glacier and straight north- east past lake Abercrombie to Copper Center; thence over the Millard trail to the mouth of the Slina River; on north- west to Forty Mile Creek, following that stream to its junction with the Yukon and ending near Eagle City, sixty miles below Dawson. Three military posts will be estab- lished at important points on the trail, one of which will be where the road crosses the Tanana River, another near Eagle City and the third somewhere between Valdez and the headwaters of Copper River. These stations will be occupied the year round and supplied with provis- jons and accommodations for mail-car- riers and others who use the trail. It is Intended to send the mail to the Yukon over that route in the future. There already has been a railway right of way granted and it is believed that within two years one may board a train at Valdez and ride straight through the 400 miles to Eagle City. This will revolutionize travel to inner Alaska, and, it is believed, result in the opening of the rich agricultural and stock-raising districts that are around the headwaters of the Copper and Ta- nana. AWFUL MEANS OF SUICIDE. Insane Man Beats His Head With & Rock and Cuts His Throat. BAKER CITY, Or.,, Jan. 28.—George 'W. Plummer, aged 48, beat his head to a jelly with a rock near here to-day and then ran a mile to a ranch, where, obtaining a knife, he cut his throat from ear to ear. He died almost in- stantly after cutting his throat. He had been {ll with la grippe and, it is thought, became insane from the sick- ness. He leaves a widow and famlily in Central City, Nebraska.
