HONOLULU, June 18.—It is almost certain that the chest of 000 in gold lost from the steamship Alameda left the ship at this port. In fact, Marshal Brown has in his pos: on to-day al- most conclusive evidence that such w the case. The man who, it is believed, robbed the ship is also known, but ha fied beyond the pale of Hawaiian law. He now in Japan, and eventually may be caught, for the Oceanic Steam- ghip Company has a powerful detective ey on his tracks. man is supposed to be Wilson, an ian. He has been suspected of other such robberies between Sydney and Auckland. When the Alameda gailed from Australia, this man was a passenger for San Francisco. He left .the boat here on the 25th. On June 1st he salled by the Gaelic for the Orient. Marshal Brown does not know just how the thief brought his treasure ashore, but the transfer i{s admittedly not a hard matter, It is presumed the - thief had accomplices and they brought it off on a number of visits aboard the ship at the dock. The coin would weigh about 100 pounds. The loss of the money was discovered when the Alameda was w n two days of San Francisco. The densest cloud of mystery surrounded the disappearance of the box.

BREST, June 25.—The French first- class cruiser Tage put to sea this even- ing, the official explanation being that she has gone to experiment with car- rier pigeons. She is, however, a much larger cruiser than the Sfax, which is bringing Captain Dreyfus, and the dis- patch of a big vessel with carrier pig- eons is quite unprecedented. Usually a torpedo boat is sent, and the opinion therefore gains ground that the Tage has gone to meet the Sfax and to take Captain Dreyfus on board. The pigeons can be used to announce the transfer, and the Tage might proceed to another port to land the prisoner. As against this theory and as an indication that the landing of Dreyfus will be effected here, there is the fact that a large num- ber of gendarmes from the country | tions. | from South Africa talk of various | semi-official missions for negotia- Lay provinces as a warning. ”| The treasurer of the S ATRIIOUR Tagkua, of tha French Bethetalahatiting otdiy.Soueec it around Brest are arriving or expected | rorer the morning for lesso + (From a Sketch Made During Their Last War With the British.) 4+ Do be T 0400406244044 44+ 440 4e ONDON, June 25—The Government of the.

DE CLAM TRIES TO COMMIT SUICIDE NEW YORK, June 26.—The World's Parfs special says: It is common talk among officers and politicians in a posi- tion to know that Du Paty de Clam has tried to commit suicide twice since put in the Cherche-Midi Prison a fortnight ago. The accuser of Dreyfus and Pic- quart 1s still held in absolute solitude. Neither his wife nor his attorney has been allowed to see him since he was ar- rested. Notwithstanding the precautions, it has leaked out that De Clam sought to bribe the guards to get him a pistol or poison. A subaltern immediately reported this to his superiors, who changed the whole guard, placing in charge oid and tried soldiers, considereu proof against tempta- tions. Later, it is said, De Clam wrote to a kinsman that he had always acted in the Dreyfus case according to the best information and in strict loyalty to the orders of military superiors. Never- theless he declared himself a prey to a harrowing doubt since the revelations to the Court of Cassation, and begs piteous- ly for means to end his life like a soldier and escape the odium of a criminal trial.

Special Cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1899, by James Gor- don Bennett. PARIS, June 25—Not every one who takes a fancy for automobilism desires to own a machine at once. This fact has been taken advantage of by what may be callgd “‘the modern livery stablemen,” who let out automobiles to the public. It is marvelous how this industry has spread in Paris. If you wish to go out for a ride in the Bois or shopping “en automobile,” all you have to do is to telephone for one of the “louers,” and in a few minutes you have a well appointed and luxurious automo- bile at your door, with a smart conductor in charge, who will whiz you through the street to whatever place you desire to_go. valng lessons to beginners is another feature of tne automobile business. “We have about twentv pupils now,” said one dealer, ““and this is about the average.

WASHIGTON, June 25.—Official Washington is waiting with some im- patience for a reply from the Govern- ment of Honduras to the demand of Minister Hunter for $10,000 for the heirs of Frank Pears, killed by a Hondurian soldier in February. Unless the reply be forthcoming within the next few days instructions will be sent to Mr. Hunter to call for an immediate reply. The administration does not propose to permit Honduras to be dilatory in this matter, believing that determina- tion and constant pressure will not only result in the payment of the indem- nity, but in better treatment of Ameri- cans there in the future. Honduras sought the good offices of Guatemala to persuade the United States to accept arbitration several weeks ago, but arbitration was not ac- cepted. It js presumed that Honduras trying to find a loophole through which she can escape compliance with the American demand, but the admin- istration is determined she shall pay the money, and pay soon, even if it be necessary to send a squadron to com- pel action. So far as Nicaragua is concerned, the authorities are satisfied that with the gunboat Vixen at Bluefields the Ameri- cans will be given fair treatment. The authorities are daily expecting to re- ceive from Nicaragua a demand for the money the Managua government as- serts was rightfully collected by her agents from American merchants at Bluefields during the insurrection, and which has been devosited with the British Consul pending a settlement of the corntroversy.

The regiment formed at Camp Cochran and marched to the tournament grounds, blocks away. Colonel Roosevelt rode as com- mander, accompanied by a staff of offi- A't the tournament grounds Colo- nel Roosevelt occupied a box reserved for him and the guests of the regiment. As the Rough Riders passed and re- passed the grand stand in performing evolutions, Colonel Rogcsevelt stood with bared head. Each troop was receded by its respective captain, as r as they were present, on the occa- sion. The scene was witnessed by fully 10,000 people. While the review was going on rain clouds were banking heavily in the north, and Chairman Whitmore of the local committee on arrangements re- quested the colonel to hurry the move- ments of the Rough Riders, ostensibly on account of the approaching showers. Colonel Roosevelt complied with the re- quest, and in another instant the troop- ers were standing at attention in front of the grand stand. This was a neat bit of strategy, and before Colonel Roose- velt could realize why he w spoken to Hon. Frank Springe on behalf of the people of New Mexico, began his speech, presenting Colonel Roosevelt with a medal. The medal is pendant from bar chains, V shaped, with ends attached to the bar and joined to the medal at the center. On the bar is the wording, “Colonel Theodore Roosevelt.” Between the bar and the medal the coat of arms of New Mexico is engraved. On the medal proper are crossed sabers, and above them is the monogram “R. R. R.” Below the sabers is the wording, “Presented by the citizens of New Mex. ico, Las Vegas, N. M., June 24, 1899.” On the circular edge of the medal proper are the words “San Juan,” “Las Guasimas” and “Santiago.” The dia- mond in the center is just below the sabers. The presentation was a genuine sur- prise to Colonel Roosevelt. Mr. Spring- er handed the medal to his young daughter, Miss Eva, who pinned it on the lappel of Colonel Roosevelt's Rough Rider blouse. The recipient was visibly. affected and responded as follows: Justice Springer, and to Springer, and_to you, my cans'of New Mexico, I want to say not express In words how deeply I am touched by what you have done. I prize this gift more than anything else that could have oeen given to me, coming as it does and in the way it does and from those from whom it comes. For it comes on the anniversary of a day fateful in the annals of the West. Twenty-three vears ago Custer rode to his death with his gal- lant men at the Rosebud, adding his share in the “winning of the West"—in the upbuilding of the West, which you have, all of you upbuilt—bringing up your section level in patriotism, level in high- ness of purpose, with all that there is in this nation. I cannot say how glad I have been to come here. I never was in New Mexico before, but 1 have never felt like a stranger for one moment among you. (Applause.) I claim the same right that each of your sons claim of ~lory and take ride In the name and fame of New Ffexico. I am an American as _you are Americans, and you and I alike have the right to claim as our own every acre and rod of_ country from Maine to Oregon, from Florida to California. (Applause.) All I shall say is if New Mexico wants to be a State you can count me in, and I will go to Washington to speak for you or do anything you wish. (Long and continued applause.) 3 Colonel Roosevelt’s address was cut short by the rain, which put a stop to the amusements of the daylight pro- gramme. Spread of Yellow Fever.

They | clared the corpse infested with plague | baeiiti, and by their order it was cre- mated. Tne Nippon Maru was ai the | same time ordered into quarantine for | seven days. Having fulfilled her prescribed term | ination. de- | | of quarantine, the steamship sailed | from Nag: i on June She made | Kobe and Yokohama all right, having {had no further « of sickne: and sailed from the tter - port Honoluiu on June 8. The Rio de Janeiro had sailed for Honolulu the previous day, but was not sighted here until | yesterday evening—about twelve hours later than the Nippon Maru. The Rlo brought a clean bill of health and was admitted to dock in the harbor. She | sailed at 3 o’clock this afternoon. | Upon the arrival of the Nippon off the harbor she was boarded by Dr. F. R. Day, port phy an and member of the Board of Health. She reported the death of a Chinese steerage passenger inn June 14. The man had been ill but | twenty-two hours : ship’s physi- | cian gave the mic convul- | sions, due to kidney troubles. The body had been kept on board embalmed. Dr. Day at the same time received report of the quarantining | at Nagasaki from Dr. Rokkaku, medi- cal inspector at Yokohama for the Hawailan Government. Taking into consideration this report from Japan, together with the fact that the victim had died after only twenty-two hours’ illness, he ordered the amship into quarantine until he came ashore and reported. Having made his report to the board, ‘nm port physic returned to the | ship, taking with him Dr. Carmichael, inspector of the United States Hospital Marine Service. The two doctors made a post mortem examination of the dead Chinaman. They found the condition of the lungs, the bronchial tubes and the . kidneys, as well a fhe | pericardium and peritonital ties, strongly suspicious of the plague. Some specimens of the fluids and glands were brought ashore for microscopical examination, which being made strong- ly supported the diagnosis of the phy- sicians. The only absolute proof, how- | ever, is to be found in the cultivation of the germs. This process will take three or four days. As the matter stands, though, the appearance of the bacillus is identical with that of speci- mens of the plague bacillus brought from Japan two years ago by Dr. C. B. Wood. These facts were all special meeting of the Board of Health vesterday afternoon. The board pre- scribed a strict quarantine for the Nippon Maru. It proposed a period of seven da after disinfection. Should the proposition be declined, the ship will not be allowed to land either pas- sengers or freight. | There are eight saloon passengers for | Honoluly, including Mr. and Mrs. H. F. | Wichman and Dr. W. T. Monsarrat. | Mr. Wichman is the leading jeweler of | this cit Dr. Monsarrat is the veterinary inspector of the Hawaiian | Government: who left here in a trans- - | port carrying army horses and mules to | Manila, = under engagement by the United States military authorities. The { ship has 750 tons of cargo for this | port. | Dr. Wood, a member of the Board of Health, said to The Call correspondent: “The necessity for quarantining any passengers landing here being decided, | the possibility is thereby admitted that the disease may develop among them at laid before a quarantine. Unlike some other dis- eases to be guarded against, the plague is known to be communicable through the medium of rats and other vermin. It is absolutely impossible to disinfect the ship properly with about 300 people on board. If, however, the ship accepts quarantine, it must be afforded. The passengers would be fumigated before and after landing at Quarantine Island, and there treated to the chemical bath, etc., and the through passengers returned to the vessel when she had been completely disinfected. The captain of the steamer does not admit that it was the plague of which his steerage passenger died, but the positive that it was nothing
