THE KILLING OF RBNTON.
DEMAND TO BE MADE ON HON
DURAS TO REIMBURSE HIS
WIDOW
BY CAPTAIN DAVIS OF THE
MONTGOMERY.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2S.-The
report of Captain Davis of the United
States steamship Montgomery, upon his
investigation in Honduras surrounding the
killing of the American Renton at Brewers
Lagoon, has just been received at the
Navy Department. The report is volumin-
Gus and is being carefully sifted by the
officials.
Captain Davis made most careful in
quiry into all of the facts. The conclusion
is that the Honduran Government is
properly ehargeable with the responsible
ity for the affair and has been dereIict in
failing to take any steps whatever to ascer-
tain and punish the perpetrators of the
crime.
Captain Davis visit awakened the Hon.
duran officials, and there is now a fair
prospect that justice will be secured at
last. Captain Davis found that the injury
sustained by the Renton estate amounts to
about $38 900, and the Honduran Govern
ment will be requested to reimburse the
widow in this amount. The report of the
naval captain will be transmitted to the
State Department, at whose request the in
vestigation was undertaken.

INCREASE OF REVENUES.
Would Come in Very Handily
in Case of a Foreign
Tariff War.
IS CONVINCED.
In Fact His Opinion May Have Some
Bearing on the Supreme
Courts Decision.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 28.-Presi-
dent Cleveland is said to have become a
convert to the income tax. If the fifty
fourth Congress should attempt the repeal
of this law, as is expected, Mr.. Cleveland
will probably be found standing in the way
of the accomplishment Of that act.
When the proposition was first made in
the last Congress the President was not
favorable to it. and it was with great diff
Guilty that he was converted to the corpora
ton tax, which he recommended in the
message, thinking that the proposition
would not be passed beyond that point.
He was not at all pleased when the gen.
eral income tax was adopted, and it is be-
lieved that he looked forward to the time
when the law might be repealed. Very re-
Gently, however, it is said that he has be-
come convinced that the tax is in accord
with his tariff policy, and that through it
an opportunity may be afforded for a still
further reduction of customs duties than
that made by the Wilson-Gorman bill.
The returns to the Internal Revenue
Bureau give promise of considerably
larger revenue from this source than he
had expected, and to that extent it re-
treasury might compel him to accept at
the hands of a Republican Congress some
increase of tariff rates. He sees in it also
means of revenue in the event of foreign
tariff war being pressed to an extreme
This attitude of the administration may
have some bearing upon the decision of
the Supreme Court as to the constitution
atty of the income tax. While the court
is supposed to be guided by nothing but
law, yet in a matter involving the powers
of the Government there is an impression
that the court has leaning toward that
which the administration regards as de-
sirable.
If the administration regarded the tax
as unnecessary or improper the chances of
a decision adverse to the Government
might perhaps be greater. The belief is
general tonight that decision will be
handed down next Monday.

CALDWELL'S OPINION.
Employers Are Responsible for the Safety
of En- ployes.

Employers Are Responsible for the SAFETY
of Employees.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 2S.-Judge Cald-
well to-day filed dissenting opinion in the
case of Mary Finlayson against the Utica
Mining and Milling Company, which will
attract attention in mining circles as we'll
as for the boldness of the opinion expressed
as for the severity with which he deals
with the majority opinion of Judges San
born and Thayer. The point involved is
the responsibility of employers for the
safety of employees. The plaintiffs hus-
band had been killed by falling rock that
the foreman of the defendant company
told him was not dangerous. Judge Cald-
well says:
The doctrine that mining company can
send its employees into the bowels of the earth
to conduct its mining operations without
making any provisions for the proper super
vision and inspection of the mine for the
security and protection of the miners is I'M
supported by authority, is opposed to sound
public policy, and is cruel and inhumsn. The
error OF the majority of courts in likening the
customary work in a mine to the sudden call
ing out of men to work after night on the
brink of rapidly rising river whose bank is
caving in, to save property from destruction by
the flood, is too obvious to require discussion.
Upon the law applying to this case the major
ity OF opinion is direct und palpable conflict
with the opinion of this court.

LONDON, ENG, March 28.-The Maya
saki and Peking correspondents of the
Times, in dispatches published in that
paper this morning, comment upon the
war frenzy that pervades the Japanese
people and claim that this shows the wis
dom of the Chinese in having wished to
conduct peace negotiations outside of
Japan. Both correspondents add that
Gustav Detring and the other Chinese
peace ENJOYS were attacked while they
We're in Japan, though the assaults upon
them were less serious than the one upon

silence in regard to the attack in order to
avoid embittering the situation.

YOKOHAMA, JAPAN, March 2s.-The
Korean loan of 100000 yen has finally

by Japan. 1t is repayable in five years.
WASHIN GTON, March 2s.-The Jana
nese legation has received the following
rescript issued by the En- peror of Japan
on the occasion of the shooting of Ii Hung
Chang. 1t contains several statements not
given in the copy first cabled to this coun-
try:
Although China is actually at war with
US, she sent an envoy, observing the due
forms and ceremonies of nations, to nego-
tiate peace, and we also appointed our
plenipotentiaries to meet and confer with
him at Shimonoseki. It being proper that
we should, in accordance with the estab-
lished international usage and with due
regard to the honor of the state, extend to
the Chinese envoy suitable treatment and
protection, we especially directed the COM
petent authorities to neglect nothing to
that end. We deeply regret that miscre-
ant has unfortunately appeared who has
inflicted injury upon the envoy. The
offender will, of course, be punished by the
competent authorities according to law
without the least extenuation. We COM
mand the officials and the people to en-
deavor by more strongly bearing our will
in mind to strictly guard against the recur-
renee of such outrages so as not to impair
the honor and glory of the nation"

TO START FROM FLORIDA.
This Is the Most Extensive
FilibuStering Expedition
Yet Reported.
PROMINENT MEN BACK IT.
Until Spain Gives Notice That a
Revolution Exists She Can't
Validity Complain.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, March 2s.--It
is reported here tonight that a secret
movement is on foot to organize, equip
and embark direct from Jacksonville and
Fernandina an army of 1900 Cubans and
negroes for service in the instruction in
Cuba. The movement is reported to be
managed by the Cuban revolutionists.
The ground reported to be taken by the
managers is that as the Spanish officials
persistently deny that an instruction
exists in Cuba she cannot make valid COM
plant at Washington against filibuster-
ing expedition. The United States can and
will proceed against filibustering only
when Spain gives formal notice that an
instruction exists in Cuba, and that an
expedition leaving the United States is to
lead the rebels and thereby violate the
treaty between Spain and this Govern
ment.
1t may be that the movement reported
to be secretly taking form here is merely
an audacious bluff to brighten Spain into
acknowledging the instruction; but
whether it is or is not, conspicuous names
are identified with the enterprise. Con
zales Quesada of New York and Colonel
Figueroa and Valdez Domeniquez of
Tampa, who are leaders in the movement,
are reported to be wealthy, and are con-
tributing large sums to the cause.
An influential citizen of Jacksonville
who will be conspicuous member of the
Legislature which meets next week at
Tallahassee is familiar with all the secrets
of clubs. He talked somewhat freely of
the expedition. Solicitors are now at work
throughout Florida gathering money and
engaging men to join the expedition, he
said, and an effort will be made after the
meeting to organize an army of 1900
Cubans and negroes.
The army will be in command of an
American soldier, an officer of the G. Ar,
who has volunteered for the enterprise.
The plan of the club is to charter fast
steam vessels and embark at Jacksonville
and Fernandina. The expedition will be
prepared to fight as soon as it leaves 1t
will go straight for small Cuban port and
join the patriots.

CIVIL TRIAL Is DEMANDED,
STEPS TAKEN TO SECURE THE
RELEASE OF EX-CONSUL
WALLER.
FRANCE May BE CALLED :
ACCOUNT FOR His HAsTY
IMPRISONMENT.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2S.-Hon.
John M. Langston, who for some years past
has been the counsel for ex-Consul John
L. Waller of Kansas, was at the State De
partment to-day to ascertain if any news
had been received officially of the reported
sentence of his client to twenty years
imprisonment in Madagascar. Up to
noon nothing had come to the department.
Certain documents and letters from Mr..
Waller bearing on the concession made to
him by the Hova Government, which will
necessarily figure in the matter if it is
taken up by the State Department, have
been filed in the department by Mr.. Lang
ston.
AS the result of his visit to the State De-
partment Mr.. Langston expresses the con-
yiction that the officials will act promptly
in investigating the matter, and that they
will by all means refuse to submit to the
disposition of his case by court-martial
and insist upon civil trial.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2S-Messrs.
Warner Miller, Smith, Weed, Hitchcock
and Bartlett of New York called on the
President, Secretary Gresham and Secre-
tary Lamont to-day in connection with
the appointment of committee to ex-
anime the Nicaragua canal route, as pro-
vided for by a clause in the last sundry
civil appropriation bill.
This clause makes an appropriation OF
$4,000 for the purpose of ascertaining the
feasibility of permanence and cost of con-
struction and completion of the canal on
the present route and provides for the APP
pointment of commission to be COM
posed of one army engineer, one naval en-
gineer and one civilian expert tosvisit and
inspect the canal.
The work is to be done under regulations
prescribed by the Secretary of State and
the President is to appoint the commits
sion. The latter is authorized to suggest
any deviation from the present line that
may be desirable.
The callers disclosed a general desire to
appoint the Commissioners and equip an
expedition to Nicaragua at the earliest day
practicable. No names were mentioned

NEW JAPANESE TREATY.
1T Hill Go Into Effect as Amended by tn,
Senate.

1T Viii Go Into Effect as amended by the
Senate.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2s.-Presi-.
dent Cleveland signed the proclamation of
the new japanese treaty on March u, and
the fact was made public at the State De-
partment to-day. The only change made
in the treaty since it was published by the
Associated Press is the amendment made
by the Senate and announced at the time,
allowing the treaty to be terminated on six
months notice at any time after it goes
into effect Some question has arisen since
the amendment was made as to whether
by misuse of language the Senate had
not failed of its purpose and had not really
so worded the treaty that it could not be
terminated until it has been in effect
twelve years. While the treaty as pro-
claimed shows some ambiguity, it is be-
lieved that the intent of the Senate has not
been baked and that an early termination
is practicable ii it should become desirable.

Regulations to Gorern the North Aancri-

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2S.-The
preparation of regulations to govern the
North American Commercial Company in
its operations in the Boring Sea during the
coming season is now in progress at the
Treasury Department. The regulations, it
is said, will not differ materially from
those in force last year. The question of
the maximum number of skins which may
be taken has not been settled, though it
believed 10000, the same number as last
year, will be fixed upon.
The news of the resignation of Sir Charles
Upper, the Canadian Minister of Justice,
was received here with satisfaction by the
friends of vigorous policy to prevent the
determination of the seals, as Sir Charles,
as member of the Paris tribunal, bitterly
antagonized regulations offered as essen
tial to effectual protection of the seals.

GOVERNMENT FOR SET
ELEMENT.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OPP
ACRES FOR WHICH THE IN
DAMS WILL BE PAID.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2S-Sec-
rotary Smith to-day gave to the President
the drafts of two proclamations opening to
settlement the lands ceded by the Yank-
ton Sioux Indians in South Dakota and
the Alsea and other Indians on the Silotz
reservation in Oregon. The President is
expected to act Immediately on these and
issue the formal proclamations within a
few days.
The Hankton reservation embodies some
OF the best land in the State, and there are
$4,000 acres of the coded lands The
proclamation provides that the lands shall,
be subject to entry within thirty days OF
publication. Land officials do not expect
a rush for the lands such as occurred at
Oklahoma opening, and will adopt meas
ures tending to secure equal treatment for
all settlers. The agreement with the
Yanktons provided for the payment for
surplus lands of 5000, 900, together with
$50 for each male adult of the tribe. The
agreement with the Indians on the Silotz
reservation provided for the cession of all
their unallotted lands, the total ceded
territory covering 17S, 900 acres. The com
pensation paid by the Government was
100000.
There are several other reservations fol-
which negotiations for opening to settle
ment are being made, and the Nez Perces
lands in Idaho will probably be among the
first made subject to entry.

AHrdS Committed the armenian Atroci-

LONDON, ENGLAND, March %. = The
Times publishes a long report on the
Armenian atrocities, written by a com
petent and trustworthy man who made a
personal investigation on the spot. This
report was written in January, but only
arrived in London yesterday.
The writer says he is convinced that in
1893 and 1894 the Turkish Government gave
both oral and written orders to the Kurds
to attack the Armenians, promising them
the booty and relieving them of response
bility for the consequence.
In the first attacks made upon them the
Armenians defeated the Kurds. Undoubt-
eddy but for Turkish help the Kurds would
have been unable to have gained perma-
nent victory. The Kurds in the early
skirmishes did not harm women and chill
dren. Even when melted by the Turks
they did little in comparison with the
latter.
