Minister Miners Silence.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.1
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The department
of state today received a telegraphic des-
patch from Minister Miner, stating that
he was at place called Mention, in Guate-
mala. and that he was in communication
with the commanders of the United States
vessels Thetis and Ranger. Here Minister
Miner stopped, without saying word OF
the bloody conflict supposed to be in pro-
gress between Guatemala and Salvador, or
the reported outbreaks against the admin
istration of General Barillas, which are
said to be starting Up in several provinces
of Guatemala. He also failed to refer in
any way TO the recent seizure of arms on
the Pacific Mail steamer Colima by Guate-
malan authorities, the facts of which came
through Minister Ryan, at Mexico. Minis
ter MINERS silence on the all important
particulars is thought to signify here that
he has received none of the dispatches sent
him by the department during the past two
weeks, or else he is not allowed by the
Guatemalan government TO send out the
particulars of any internal affairs of the
country at the present time.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
The Possible Interference of England and
France in the Argentine Republic.

Especial TO THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatchl
WASHINGTON, July An the absence Of
Secretary Blaine, no official of the state
department is willing to give for publica
ton an official opinion as to what course
the government of the United States would
pursue in case England or France, or both,
should interfere by force in the affairs of
the Argentine r public. But prominent
official gave IL as his private opinion that
this government would not tolerate any
such interference with the affairs of any
nation in the western hemisphere by any
Z Iropean power. The Monroe doctrine, y
said the gentleman, sis well understood
now a-days to mean that the western hemis-
phere is free and independent, owing no
obligations to the nations of the old world,
and this government will not allow any in
reference by them in relation to anything
that may happen on this hemisphere,
whether it be civil war within the state, as
recently happened in Hayti, or revolution
of the government, as recently occurred in
Brazil, or even war between American
states like what has recently been threat
ening between Salvador and Guatemala.
Their affairs must be settled without
European interference. That is the Mon
roe doctrine, and the United States gov
ernment will see that it is respected anC
enforced.n

The New Racer Nearly Completed.

Especial to THE HERAIiD-Examiner Dispatch.]
NEW YORK, Aug. Norman l.. Munro's
new marine racer, the Norwood, is rapidly
approaching completion and will be ready
for it's initial speed trial in New York
waters This new racer is expected to at
tain speed of thirty miles an hour, and to
break the worlds record. She was de-
signed by c. D. Mosher, who constructed
the Buzz a small cigar shaped steamer
which surprised yachtsmen about three
wears ago in Boston har0or. Mr. Munro's
boat had attained great reputation for
speed, but for mile dash Buzz could show
another claim than pair of keels. But
she could not maintain such speed for
greater distance, because she had not
sufficient boiler capacity to keep up the
steam pressure Mosher needed. Mr..
Mosher was confident that this defect
could be overcome, and boat of less than
one hundred feet be constructed with a
speed of thirty miles an hour for a con-
tinuous run of $50 miles. This was what
Mr.. Munro wanted, and Designer Mosher
re turned to Amesbury on the Merrimac
river after his conference with Mr.. Munro,
bearing authority 10 prove his claim from
the fact that twenty brand new one
thousand dollar bills will not reproduce a
sixty three foot launch like the Norwood.
1t is apparent that lack of money has not
stayed the attainment of the highest speed
combined with the greatest perfection of
finish.
The boiler in her midship section, with
its three triple expansion cylinders of 9,
Az and % inches, give some indications of
| her great power. The boilers have l 900
| feet of heating surface, with twenty-six
feet of CRATE surface. The steam pressure
of 200 pounds giving 900 revolutionslto the
screw The propeller is three feetin diam
eter and is patented by the designer. A
separate engine runs the draft blower,
which can be run up to 1000 revolutions
although 500 Is all that is necessary. The
Norwood, it is claimed, has in speed tria
on the Merrimac, covered a measured mile
| in two minutes Steaming at her greatest
| speed she can keep up that rate for five
hours. The Norwood is protected by {
double seam, the inner planlling being three
quarters of an inch mahogany. The kee
on her are solid cast steel with five incl
glrder beams. Her length is 63 feet, widti
! z feet inches, draught lSinches, she carrie
400 horse power, which is her register. Sh
has two water-tght compartments and be
haved well in a seaway during the tril
from Boston to New Y ork, In which sh
averaged eighteen knots an hour under les
pre- ssure. Il designed ever part of her,
said Mr.. Mosher, land | know what sh
can do. This is a racing craft and we hav
in her over double the power per ton G
her displacement ever put in boat befor
and that means speed. 1t will take wee
, to put her in shape for public trial, and
am not worrying over the outcome. Th
boat was intended to show how great powe
can be concentrated within the smalles
space and an unequalled amount of spec
f obtained. In another year [ hope to den

Mendcn, Neb., says along standing quarrel
between Hans Hansen and his wife Gull
minated in a horrible and double tragedy
to-day Hansen and his wife have fre-
uuently had trouble and scandalized the
neighborhood with frequent alterations.
The couple lived alone, their two children
being married. Hansen hitched up team
to go to the country this afternoon. but
Just before starting entered the house after
something which he had forgotten. He had
words with his wife while there, and seiz-
ing a big stick he struck her terrible
blow on the head, crushing he
skull and killing her instantly. To conceal
his crime Hansen took a coil Of clothes
line, tied it about her neck and partly
dragged and partly carried her to the barn,
where he threw one end Of the rope over
rafter and drew her up SO as to convey the
idea that she had committed suicide.
Whether he came TO the conclusion that il
would be impossible to escape detection or
not. is not known, but he took another
piece of rope and fastening it to his neck
and the rafter, he jumped from the edge OF
"a stall several feet above the floor. Han
sen, however, is quite heavy and the rope
broke He then staggered to the honse
over the path which was stained with his
wife's blood as he dragged her to the barn,
and going into the house took down {
double barrelled shot gun, and placing bott
barrels in his mouth pulled the triggers
the entire top of his head down to his eye
being blown off and the brains scattered
over the walls. Hansen lived in the sub
urbs and the crime became first known
when a neighbours wife heard the shot It'll

THE WORKINGS OF THE DYNAMO.
Mrs. Durston's Departure-A Letter From His
BrOther-TO-morrow is Probably the
Day of His Death.

Especial 10 THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. ]
AUBURN, n. Y, Aug. 1.-THE most sig
nificant fact to be recorded to-day in Con-
nection with the Kemmler case is the de-
parture Of Mrs. Durston from Auburn.
She said at the time Kemmler was prepar
ing to die before the last appeal was made,
that she would not stay in prison while
William vas being killed. She went away
very suddenly after the warden returned
from New York and local gossips think
this is proof sufficient that Kemmler will
meet his fate soon, perhaps to-day. All
day long no word has come from the prison
except that ''Kemmler is well.n Nobody
has been allowed to enter the prison
1t is current talk that the warder
has made mp his mind to shuttle off Kemm-
ler's mortal coils just as soon as the law
will permit, and most people here think
that Kemmler will not live beyond Monday
night. The warden has denied that he wen'
to New York to see Governor Hill to ask i
the latter would delay the execution. Gov
ernor Hill has said he viii not interfere
and Durston may take it into his head tx
electrocute kemmler before the law can bt
invoked either by writ of dc lundttco inqWer'
the Westinghouse dynamo. Durston is
very determined man and feels keenly tn,
criticisms on his action when the last ap
peal was taken. He kept everybody in tn,
dark then and seems hardly TO know him
self what he should do now. H
will try to correct the impression
made on public men and settl
Kemmler with dispatch and little talk Tn
warden may admit the persons connecte,
with the press associations to witness tn
execution, and they will go in as member
of the jury. but none of the special repre-
sentatives of individual newspapers viii b
admitted to the Jail on that day. One n y
York evening paper has platform twent
feet from the ground telegraph pole d
rectly across from the prison. A long di:
lance wire will connect the watcher on to
pole with the Office of his paper in Ne1
York. He can see nothing, though, exceI
the bare wall of the prison.

yacht with Emperor William and his

The Last Communication Between the
BROTHERS,

AUBURN, N. Y, Aug. 4.-This afternoon
a postman carried into the prison regis
tered letter addressed to w. M. Kemnller.
The postmark was from Philadelphia, and
upon the envelope were written the words
from your brother, Henry KemmIer.n
Doubtless this communication was thought
by the writer to be, and probably would
be the last to pass between the two broth
ers, at 4 o'clock this aftenoQn Warden
DdrstUn told an associate Press reporter
that the execution would not take place
within twenty-four hours. Bearing upon
this point, is a personal dispatch received
in this city from Buffalo stating that the
invited witnesses to the execution had been
asked to be present in Auburn at z o'clock
Tuesday evening. Judging from those
facts, the people are divided in their opin-
ion as to whether Kemmler will die to NOR
row or upon Wednesday evening. Doubt
less n O -e people here are of the belief that
Wednesday morning will be the time of the
execution.

This little army is growing smaner with

feared however, that when Guatemala and
Honduras have modified their forces they
will overwheel this little army, which
seems to ha already wandered beyond
the lines of possible retreat Then, 1t IL
thought, will be the time for Nicaragua
and Costa Rica to take the field. Even
then, however, unless Mexico comes to aid
the smaller states, the probabilities are
that Guatemala will be enabled to impose
her rule upon the entire country and sub

strong hopes are entertained among a large
circle that the United States will put forth

opinions of Electrical Eynerts.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch1
New YORK, Aug. 3-No evidence that
Warden Durston came to New York to
consult experts as to kemmler's insanity
could be obtained to-day Electrical ex-
perts are evidently suspicious regarding
the alleged damaged dynamo. They say if
the dynamo was in good order, as Harold
p. Brown guaranteed it to be when he
turned it over to the state, it would
undoubtedly give a steady cur
rent now unless it had been tam
pered with by some one who was
familiar with the workings of the dynamo.
If the dynamo is in good order, the voltage
of the current depends entirely on the ra-
pidity with which the machine revolves.
Electrical experts generally are not on
fri sndly terms with Harold p Brown, and
some are disposed to blame him for the
condition of the Auburn dynamo. The fact
that Brown is sequestered somewhere in
New England at this particular time is
pointed to as an Indication that he ex-
pected there would be trouble with the
dynamo.
Prof "A E. Kennedy, Edison's principal as
sistant, rldiculed the story that the Auburn
dynamo could not be made to give reliable
results Prof Kennedy says he could also
speak for Mr. Edison on the subject as he
was acquainted with his views We be-
Geve that 600 volts of alternatis current
will inevitably produce the results required
| if properly applied. The professor said
SIN case the current should only reach 500
volts intensity, as Harold p. Brown stated
F! it did on former occasion, it would still be
surely fatal, but perhaps not instantaneous.
In case it should not go above 400 volts, Mr.
Edison thinks it might take some time tc
produce death. and possibly might fail tc
do So The Auburn dynamo is said to be
capable of generating 1900 volts. ard with
readily obtainable special appliances il
would generate 1000 volts, or possibly
LOO. The machine is probably all right
1t was at the time the bull was killed, anC
unless it has been tempered with, must still
be amply effective.
