REPUBLICS EAGER FOR WAR. Little Hope of Peace Between Argen- | tina and Chile. WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—As a result of the withdrawal by Argentina of her asgent to the protocol signed by her Min- ister to Chile war between the two South American republics is considered inevit- | able. Sencr Infanta, the Chilean Charge | &’Affaires, received a dispatch to-day | from his Government announcing that | there had been no formal withdrawal by | Argentina from the protocol. The Ar-! gentine Minister had verbally requested that he be permitted to withdraw his sig- | nature. Chile has apparently not given | her consent to this request. but whether she does or not Argentina will undoubt- | edly refuse to observe the provisions of | the protocol. While anxious for peace it | is said_Chile feels that she has gone as far as her honor permits, and it is hoped that the good sense of the Argentine peo- | ple will cause them to respeet the agree- | ment which their Government accepted. Argentina has made no communication to Minister Garcla Merou respecting her | action in refusing to give ratification to | the protocol signed by her representa- | tive. The situation in Argentina is lik- | ened to that which existed in the United | States before the war with Spain, when the President was forced to obey the war | sentiment of the people. Argentina feels | | that some day she will have war with | Chile and she desires to have it now, when she is strong and feels that she ‘ Pl i : MENDOZA NOW A FUGITIVE.

MURDER MYSTERY SLOWLY GLEARS Salt Lake Police Find Pistol Where Hay Was Slain. SALT LAKE, Dec. 29.—~With the finding of a 38-caliber revolver not far from the scene of the crime, the police of this city have in their possession what is believed to be the last element necessary to clear up the mystery of James R. Hay's mur- der on the night of December 16. The | weapon was found buried in the mud near | the corner of Thirteenth South and State | streets and has been traced by ‘the police | to the second-hand store where it was bought a short time before the murder by a man answering the description of | Peter Mortensen, the contractor, who is being held on the charge of having com- mitted the erime. To-day the owner of the second-hand store was taken to the County Jail for the purpose of identifying the man to whom he sold the pistol. Out of a dozen prisoners who were lined up he indicated Mortensen, but said that he would not care to swear positively to that effect, it being fully three weeks since the sale was made. Hay had been missing for two days be- fore his body was found buried in a trench in a suburb of this eity, and ft| was reported that he had absconded with $2300 in gold which was alleged fo have been paid to him as secretary of the Pa- cific Lumber Company by Peter Morten- sen, a contractor. Telegrams were sent to the police of various cities asking them to watch for Hay. The finding of the body with a bullet in the brain created a sensation in this city, Hay being a prom- inent and well known young man. The whole_affair was surrounded with mys- tery, but suspicion finally centered about | Mortensen, the body being found not far | from his residence, and he was placed un- | der arrest.

Rudio, who was brought to Chicago on was so badly burned that she died a few minutes after her arrival at St. Luke's Hospital. An hour before the arrival of the train B. O. Nichols of Council Bluffs, Ohio, succumbed to his injuries. Mr. Nichols was coming to Chicago to be marrfed on New Years day to slss Grace Stewart of Council Eluffs, Iowa. Nichols tele- graphed for his sweetheart to come to him, but he died a few minutes after the message had been sent. The injured passengers were attended immediately by surgeons from De Kalb | and_Rochelle and later were removed to tSt.‘Lukv's Hospital in Chicago by speeial rain. The freight train had taken a siding at Maita, but the train was longer than the switch and the freight locomotive protruded upon the main track beyond the sidetrack. The incoming passenger train from the West was not stopped un- til the two locomotives “cornered” at the switch, the passenger engine being thrown into the ditch and several coaches were piled upon the wreck. The cars caught fire from the locomotives. A statement given out by railroad offi- clals explains that the switch at the east end of the siding was open through mis- take and that the responsibility lies with \;wn;m member of the crew of the freight | train.

General Chaffee said that the ofily occasion when there had been any- thing approaching friction was in the mAatter of habeas corpus proceedings in the case of Oakley Brooks, and that on this occasion a solution ef the difficulty satisfactory to both authorities had been found. General Chaffee said that he and the members of the commiission had at times differed ih their views, but that these differences were of purely personal opinion. His relations with Goverhor Taft and Acting Governor Wright dnd the other Commissionérs were, officially and socially, extremely pleasant and he believed the published statement of fric- tion between the civil and military an- thorities here must haye resulted from a misunderstanding of the facts. General Chaffee further explained that every time the slightest friction had arisén in the province between the two authorities he had invariably ordered the military to surrender to the civil authori- tles. Gereral Chaffee concluded by say- ing he thought the prospect of subduing }h‘%glnsurrecuon in all places to be prom- sing. Wright Confirms Chaffee. When Acting Governor Wright was Questioned in this same matter, he said: ‘““Where men of sense are at the head of affairs there is not likely to be much cause for alarm or friction.” Governor Wright has great admiration for General Chaffee, whom he considers to be a man of sound common sense. He said that although he and General Chaf- fee frequently differed radically upon va- rious subjects still the most amicable re- lations were maintained under all eircum- stances.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—The State Department hfis received from United States Consular Agent Harris at Elben- stock an interesting report on the gub- ject of German colonial enterprises. Con- sul Harris quotes from a speech deliv- ered by Dr. Vosberg-Rekow, Director of the German Bureau for the Preparation of Commercial Treaties, before the mer- chants of Leipzig as follows: It s evident that we can hever our present policy relative to forelgn affairs Or the sirenucus clforts being made to becoma @ great sea power, We must engage in colon- ial polilics on a large scale. We must strive to expand our spheres of interest and to instill in our people the consclousness of the neces- sity of an_aggressive policy. It Is only by the annexation of territory bevond the States, the development of our colonies and the organ- jzation of immigration to the same, that we may ever hope to be in a position to supply those natural products which we are not able to produce within the borders of the home country. Harris points out that while the terr! tory comprised in all of the German col- onies abroad amounts to 2,557,000 square miles, with a white population of -6008 (only a little more than nalf being Ger- man), not a single one of these colonies is seif-supporting. The total income of the colonies for 1900 from tariff duties and the Hke amounts to $,22,470, while the deficit, it is stated, reached $5,977,922. The fideal relations between a colony and a mother country, says Harris, are those which permit the colony to produce the raw material which the mother coun- try receives and pays back in a manu- | factured state, but, in accordance with | the irresistible law of economics, a col- ony with great material resources will | emancipate itself gradually from the mother country. “It is doubtful, how- ever,” continues Harris, ‘“‘whether this will shortly be true of any of the present colonies of Germany.” 3 In almost every part of the world, it is stated, where Germany's acquisitions are pituated, there js in the immediate neigh- borhood a coldny of Great Britain or a@ome other country which is better able to produce colonial preducts. “‘Great RBritain,” says Harris, “either directly or through the miedfum of her colonies has a monopoly of almost half the commercé of the German dependencies.” The commercial development of German Southwest Africa, Harris states, “will one day probably be retarded by the competi- tion and aggressiveness of Cape Colony.” | Tables are submiited showing that Ger- many’'s share in the exports of her own | colonies is only 5 per cent, while of all | the products required by her dependencies the mother country supplies only about 60 per cen @ il b @ passengers are buried under the debris | caused by the slide, but no names can be | ascertained of any passengers known to | be missing. The train to which the mis- | hap oceurred was known as No. 7. It give up i left Lyncucurg behind schedule time, and consisted of an engine, tender, baggage car and one passenger car which was practically well filled with travelers. It is stated that the train had run into a landslide without damage and that the trainmen and some of the passengers had sueceedéd in pushing the passenger car back from under the Cclff. They were trying to do the same thing for the bag- gage car when a second heavy e came down. The car was overturned and Thompson, Fisher and Shannon were erushed. Conductor Whittaker was body has not been reeovered. A shout of warning as the second slide came en- abled most of those who were in danger to escape without injury. All the kilied were residents of Richmond. P Two Freight Wrecks.

In the 300 miles ila north to Aparri not a ho: 1 tile shot has been fired in many months, | while houses have been built and are still buliding and crops have been planted. These same conditions apply to the larger part of Southern Luzon.” Governor Wright said he was satisfied that the majority of the Filipinos recog- nized and appreciated what had been done and that their leaders were doing all in their power to bring the remaining insur- gents to a peaceful view of the situa- ton. Concluding, Governor Wright said the natives inhabiting the Island of Samar had during all their history been an un- mahageable race, and e was not sur-; prised at their present hostility. 1 | | Insurgent Force Surrenders.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—From a reliable source comes the information that ex- Fire Chief Hugh J. Bonner is considering a proposition made by President Roosevelt and the War Department to reorganize on New York lines the fire department in Ma~ nila. It is said that such was Bonner's business in Washington during the week just ended. Bonner, when seen to-day, practically admitted that such a plan is in contemplation. The tender of the appointment to Bonner was made in consequence of a cablegram from the Philippine Commission to Colo- nel Edwards, chief of the Insular Bureau of the War Department, asking that the best available man for the head of the Manila fire_department be recommended | to them. The cabiegram sald that a | strictly first-class man to organize the de- | partment was wanted. After some inqui- | ries Hugh J. Bonner was decided upon as | in every respect the best selection that | could be made. He came to Washington | -not quite a week ago, went over the situ- | ation and when he left was given about | a week to think over the matter of his ac- | ceptance of the post, he not being pre- | pared to give an immédiate answer. | It is believed that he will probably ac- | ceépt. A law was passed some time ago creating the fire department. The original | it was decided to secure a man of experi- ence and abflity. The place will pay from | $3000 to a year. i @ il @ SERVIE PIPERS SUPPORT MILE Army and Navy Journals Say Root Exceeded Authority. Special Dispatch to The Call WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—Both the ser- vice papers, the Army and Navy Regis- ter and the Army and Navy Journal, in their issue comment adversely on the reprimand administered by Secretary Root to Lieutenant General Miles. The Journal says: . According to the army regulations, a repri- mand such as was administered to the Heu- tenant general can only be administered on the verdict of & court-martial. Even a non-com- | missioned officer is under the protection of the | regulations, which direct officers to be cautious | in reproving him in the presence or hearing of private soldlers.
