GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS

LONDON. November 30.-A dispatch to
the Pail Mall Gazette from Chefoo says
that terms of peace between China and
Japan have been almost arranged through
the mediation of the United States. 1t is
added that the feeling of security is now
so strong that foreign ladies are returning
to Picking.
A dispatch from Shanghai says that
great excitement prevails in naval circles
there in consequence of the departure of
British warships from that port under
sealed orders. The presence of three Brit
ish cruisers opposite the estuary of Bien
Tang Kiang is considered to show that
Great Britain has decided to more than
forestall all her rivals in the east and to
obtain a voice in the settlement to be ar
rived at between Japan and China.
The dispatch adds that fears are increas-
ing that Ii Hung Chang will place himself
at the head of the army which he has
created for his own purposes. Thousands
of troops are reported to be arriving from
different parts of the country for service
under Ii Hung Chang.
YOKOHAMA, November 30.-Prime Min
lister Ito decided not to receive Mr.. De-
tring, the envoy sent to Japan to negotiate
a peace. In the meantime Mr.. Detring was
recalled to China by Ii Hung Chang. Mr.
Detring had brief interview with the
chief secretary Of the cabinet. who ar
took his departure for Tien Tsin. The
native press is generally indignant that
China should send a foreign agent to ne
gotiate for peace.

ONLY THREE RELEASED.
Wall and the Other Indicted Persons
Still I'm Custody.

The statement generally wired from
Pittsburg on Wednesday that bail had been
given for all the defendants in the prosecu-
ton brought there against the officers AMI
local agents of the Fidelity Building and
Loan Association proves to be erroneous
Bail was given and accepted for Mr.. Har-
rison Dngman and two of the attaches OF
the Pittsburg branch of the association,
but Mr. Andrew Wall and the others were
recommitted to the central station to await
further proceedings, no bail having been
offered for them. Mr. Dingman returned to
his home in this city yesterday and was
much the worse physically for his recent
experience He has not yet visited the Of
fees of the company Of which he is the
president, and a Star reporter who called
at his residence, 170S 9th street, this after
noon was Informed that he was not at
home.
At the Fidelity headquarters Secretary
Tweedale said he knew Of no arrange
ments having been made so far for secur-
ing bail for Mr. Wall and the other pris-
oners The lawyers In charge Of the COM
pany's affairs at Pittsburg. he said. were
attending TO everything of that sort, and
he had not been informed what their in
tentions were. 1t might be their policy to
allow Mr.. Wall to remain a prisoner until
his case was called, in view Of the subse-
Quent proceedings that will probably grow
out of the present prosecution.
A good many inquiries are being made
at the office here by certificate holders
about the condition Of their holdings.

DUNRAvEN SOON TO CHALLENGE.

COncessiOns by the Americas Cup
Committee Regarded Liberal.
LONDON, November 3O.-The Yachting
World today confirms the Associated Press
dispatch and states positively that Lord
Dunraven will shortly issue a challenge for
the Americas cup. The Yachting World
adds:
Lord Dunraven has little cause to COM
plain of the spirit in which he has been
met. We are astonished that so much
was yielded"
The Yachting World then ridicules an
amusing canard the report that Lord Dun
raven and Mr.. George l.. Watson were at
loggerheads on the subject of the style
OF boat which should be built for the next
International yachting contest, 1t having
been stated that Lord Dunraven favored
a centerboard yacht, and that Mr.. Wat
son insisted upon keel craft. The Yacht
ing World remarks: There has never
been any difference of opinion nor is there
likely to be any. II the secret can be kept
II will not be known until the yacht is
launched whether she is a keel boat a
centerboard. Both Lord Dunraven and Mr..
Watson are determined to have the Few
yacht fitted for the course. We are delight
ed to hear that they are both devoid of
insular prejudice, and that the new boat
will not be confined to any national type,
but to the type believed TO be the best for
American waters"
The Yachtsman says the New York
Yacht Club has shown itself anxious for
fair play.

All About n Coat.

Gus Thielkuhl. a photographer In the
patent office bought new suit Of clothes
some days ago, and, although he had only
made one payment on 1t, Tailor Jacob Stein
made for him a new overcoat, which was to
have been delivered yesterday upon pay
ment of a certain sum of money. About
o'clock in the afternoon Gus called on the
tailor and with him was Jim S.mms, a
man who is well known about the city.
Thielkuhl and his friend had been cele-
brating their holiday, Simms being con-
siderably under the influence of liquor.
Thielkuhl put on the coat to get an idea OF
the fit of the garment. Then he wanted to
leave the tailor shop without making an
other payment, but the tailor held to the
coat, and there was trouble. The Gus
toner demanded the return OF his - de-
post before he would give up the garment
and about the time the trouble was ovel
Policeman Kimmell appeared and arrested
Thielkuhl and Simms. Judge kimball heare
the case of assault this morning and fine<
them $40 each.

1T WAS NOT DENIED
Nicaragua's Sovereignty Over the
Mosquito Country Unquestioned.
INCORRECT REPORT AS TO ENGLAND
Secretary Gresham Has Ambassa-
dor Bayard's Report.
THE COLUMBIA'S MOVEMENTS

LONDON, November 3O.-It Is learned
that Great Britain Informed Nicaragua
that she could not recognize certain de-
crees in regard to land registration and
other matters, which, Great Britain holds,
violate her treaty with Nicaragua. The
statement that Great Britain refused to
recognize the new Nicaraguan government
at Bluetelds is most positively denied.
The question was not one of the sovereign
ty OF Nicaragua over the Mosquito coast,
which Great Britain had already acknowl-
edged IN the above named treaty, but OF
the rights of self-government secured TO
the Mosquito Indians under that treaty.
Gen. Barrios, the special envoy OF NC
aragua to Great Britain, and Senior Girls
ante the new Nicaraguan minister, were
received in audience today by the queen at
Windsor Castle, when Senior Crisante pre-
scented his credentials.

IN SERGT. DALEY'S BEHALF.
Letter to the Commissioners by Mr..
Arson 3. Taylor.

A Letter to the Commissioners by Mr..
Arson 3. Taylor.
A letter was received this morning by
the District Commissioners from Mr.. An
son 8. Taylor, chairman of the committee
Of good citizenship of the Christian Eli
deavor Union of the District, in the inter-
est of Sergeant John c. Daley. The letter
was as follows:
while / have every confidence In your
ability, and believe that your decision will
be as you tffiEk Is Just and proper, yet I
desire to call your attention to what be-
lieve 70 be some facts that may be I'M
known to you in the matter Of the case Of
Sergeant Daley. AS an individual I have
very little acquaintance with him. AS act
ing Judge Of the Police Court / was
brought in contact with him a number Of
times, and always admired his truthful
ness. straightforwardness and devotion to
duty without fear or favor toward any vio-
lator of the law. My own individual opin-
ion Is that this whole proceeding against
Sergeant Daley is the result of conspiracy,
the ultimate design or object Of which is
to remove from the police force Of the Dis
trict one of it's most efficient officers. The
improved condition Of affairs in South
Washington since the sergeant commenced
and has carried on this raid against the
1tlClt SAFE Oh liquors SHOWS tHdt ne IL TO
ing good work, and sh ould have the sup
port Of every good law-abiding citizen Of
tho District: and the demorali zation that
his persistent discharge Of l!ty has
brought about In their ranks We need not
wonder at their conspiring to his over
throw.
"As chairman of the committee of good
citizenship of the Christian Endeavor
Union of the District of Columbia, repre-
senting over seven thousand Of the active
earnest Christian people, I have to say
that we are In hearty sympathy with Ser
geGnt Daley In his efforts to break I'D the
speak eases' in his locality, and in bring
ing to punishment all violators OF the law
Though we do not know all the points In
controversy, from the knowledge we have
we believe that the Commissioners will be
but doing their duty in Diminishing the
charges now pending against him. To dis
miss such a man from the police force up
on the testimony of such characters as We
understand have testified against him
would be triumph of wrong over right,
and subversive of good order and disci-
pline among the remainder Of the police
force We believe that every officer in the
conscientious discharge of his duties
should have the moral support Of every
good citizen of the District"
