WARSH|PS ON THE LAKES,
Canada Alarmed by the Expose
of Its Violation of
the Treaty.
Relies Upon the Belief That the
Cleveland Regime Will Not
Take Action.

OTTAWA, ONT., Nov 17.-There is con.
siderable anxiety in both diplomatic and
Government circles over the statements
made last week by United States officials
on the Great Lakes that Canada had fraud
ulently been breaking the treaty made be-
tween Great Britain and the United States
in 1917. wherein it was mutually agreed
that neither nation should allow vessels of
war to be built on the Great Lakes. The
time since the sensational disclosures were
made has been one of expectancy to all
but the general feeling is that no serious
difficulty will arise, not by reason of the
claim not being supported by fact, but
from the feeling of security in that the
present administration will pass over the
disclosures.
Comm issioner Smith, who has charge of
the Canadian interests, tonight stated
that the Government had not been break
ing the treaty. Although the vessels
which they had been building were little
larger and stronger than the old revenue
marine vessels it was only done to keep up
with the times and still not build legiti-
mate war vessels He said that nothing
had been done secretly and that if the
United States had wished to object it
should have done so before, as it had
every opportunity to see what was going
on.
American residents and naval experts
living on the Great Lakes, however, are
indignant at the lack of investigation on
the part of the Government. Not for q
single moment, they declare, can it be
doubted that Canada is violating the
treaty laws.

BLUE CANTON oUT OF DANGER


Forest Fires Checked by the Railroad
Employees Heroic York.
EMIGRANT GAP, CAL, Nov. 17.-By
an almost superhuman effort on the part
of the railroad employees, the forest fire
which threatened Blue Canyon and
vicinity has been subdued.
The Towles Lumber Company sustains
the heaviest loss. Thousands of feet of
lumber, lately unloaded for the purpose
of repairing the fume, was consumed.
Many telegraph poles were so badly dam
az I'd as to render them useless.
The forest within a radius of three
miles around Blue Canyon has been
leveled by the flames. While the fire was
at its height many residents of Blue Can
you removed all their belongings to places
of comparative safety. At midnight a
heavy south wind prevailed and Blue
Canyon was threatened, but sudden
shift to the north turned the course of the
fire.
The first snowshed west of Blue Canyon
was badly scorched, hard work saving it
from total destruction. The outfit cars on
the spur track were surrounded by flames
and the personal effects Of the inmates
ruined by smoke and water.

This remark was called out by the circu-

said that General Harrison had realized
100000 out OF an investment of $500 in
mining stocks.
Some enterprising agent of mining
properties is evidently trying to make cap

President. "I did purchase some Mon
tana mining stock years ago, but never
realized a cent out of it and do not expect
to make fortune. There is no truth in
the reports of my having received any
such fabulous check. This agent will have
to try again."

Tragic Sequel to Brief but Eventfu1

LONDON, Eng, Nov. 1.-THE Graphic
will tomorrow publish dispatch from
Sydney N. S. W., saying that the WE'LL
known English actor, Arthur Dacre, shot
his wife, the actress, and then committed
suicide by cutting his throat. The act was
caused by dependency arising from their
unsuccessful tour of Australia. Both left
pathetic letters showing that they had
mutually decided upon the tragedy.
Dacre and his wife, whose stage name
was Amy Roffelle, made their first appear
ance in this country five years ago, when
they journeyed from London to New
York and supported Mrs. Leslie Carter in
can Ugly Duckling." At the close of
the season disagreements arose in the
company and after an unsatisfactory law
suit with Mrs. Carter the Dacres returned
to London. There they produced "Man
and Woman at the Strand Theater with
considerable success.
For some years they were noted for pro-
ducing new pieces. Mrs. Dacre was quite
a good looking, medium sized woman, and
made success in England and this coun-
try. As the leading man for Ada Caven,
dish and other stars Dacre achieved an
enviable reputation. He was about 45
years of age, and his wife was his junior
by nearly ten years. :.
In Australia the Dacres produced such
pieces as "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray,"
but, judging by reports received on the
last steamer, their talents were not appre-
ciated in the Antipodes.

GENERAL CANELLAS CRUELTY.
He Is Casting Into Prison CWbans and
Forei0uers Alike.

Foreigners Alike.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, CUBA, Nov. 9,
via Key West, Fla, Nov. 7.-General
Canellas, chief of the military division of
Guantanamo, is at present the terror OF
that district, as he is arresting innocent
people and casting them into Jail and
otherwise committing all sorts of abuses.
Of course this conduct is increasing the
ranks of the insurgents, as every day great
numbers have gone to the field to escape
the fury of Canellas, until now there is
scarcely Cuban in Guantanamo.
All the prominent gentlemen arrested q
few days ago in Guantanamo and brought
to the MORO castle of this city, have been
sent to the penal city of Ceuta, in Africa.
On account of the arrest few days ago
of an English subject, Mr.. Cowry, mana
ger of the Guantanamo railway foundry,
the English Consul in this city com.lis-
stoned Robert Mason, an employe of the
house of Brooks & Co., to go to Guanta-
namo and interview General Canellas in
regard to Cowry's arrest. When Mason
visited the general, the latter was at break
fast, and as soon as Mason entered the
room the general began to insult him and
helping the revolution with money. Mr..
Mason was obliged to leave Guantanamo
without being able to receive an explana-
ton in regard to the matter that took him
there.
On the 7th inst. several other prominent
men of Guantanamo were arrested and in
carcerated, and they will probably be sent
to Ceuta.
On the 9Th inst. Bartolome Misas, Span
lard, who is well liked in Guantanamo,
and who represented the hardware house
of Brauet & Co., was summoned by General
Canellas, insulted, kicked and slapped in
the face and then cast into prison where
he still is. 1t is said that General Canellas
drinks very hard.
Eight of the nine soldiers who garrisoned
the village of Dos Caminos went over to
the rebels on the 7th. with arms and am
munition. The ninth soldier, who at the
last moment refused to go with them, was
killed by the deserters.
In Baracoa the rebels have destroy all
the machinery and apparatus used there
to make cocoanut oil.

The strenuous efforts that have been made
