general intends to establish temporary
headquarters here. 1t is the first time
in history that such large force has
been stationed on the isthmus. The

complication has arisen in any quarter
calculated to endanger the peace Of
Europe.
The war between China and Japan,
which was in progress at the opening
of the last session, has been brought
to a conclusion by peace, which 1
trust will endure. I observed q strict
neutrality during the war and took no
action in respect thereto except such
as appeared to me likely to be favor
able to a termination of hostilities.
Il deeply regret to say that the most
atrocious outrages upon a body OF
English missionaries are reported from
the province of Flu Kien, in China.
In reply to earnest representations
addressed to the Chinese government
by my direction, active measures,
which trust will prove effective. are
being taken for the punishment of the
murderers and all persons in any de-
gree responsible for these crimes.

suggested to the government of the

are necessary to prevent a recurrence

any important legislative measures
except those which are necessary to
provide for administrative charges of
the year."

A BLOODY BATTLE FOUGHT.
Thousands Of Caribs And Jamaica Negroes
Engaged.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-One of the
bloodiest battles fought in British Hon
duras in many days, says letter from
Belize. just received at Trenton, N. j.,
occurred last Thursday at Straun creek
and Mullins river, about?0 miles south
of Belize, between 700O Caribs and 1000
Jamaica negroes, employed by English
planters in building railroad. The
Caribs began to tear up the rails and
the Englishmen ordered their negroes
to fight. The moment the negroes
raised their weapons the Caribs rushed
upon them and with matchets hacked
and chopped the negroes to pieces.
BetW cen 800 and 600 negroes were
killed and almost as many injured,
while the Caribs had 300 killed and
twice that number wounded, some NOR
tally. After the negroes were forced
to retreat the Caribs tore up even the
foot rails, and damaged many English
plantations, destroying fruit and
rubber to the value OF many thousands
Of dollars.

Durrant Case.

Durrant Case.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 14.-Another
sensation has developed in the Durrant
case. " neither it l. a case of jury
bribing or bold attempt at blackmail,
the police and others who have inyes-
tigated the matter are unwilling, and
probably unable. to state with posi-
tivene<s. The fact remains that Mrs
Durrant. mother of the young man
who is accused of numbering Minnie
Williams and Blanche Lamont. was
approached recently by mysterious
woman whose desire was to sell some-
thing of extreme Importance to the
safety of Theodore Durrant. 1t was
intimated that at least three OF the
jurors already accepted could be influ-
enced to vote for acquittal. But coin
would be required to get those votes.
Mrs. Durrant not only spurned the
offer. but informed the attorneys for
her son, and also notified the police of
the nature of the offer made to her.
The woman is Mrs. Sarah George,
who resides at 5l6 Leavenworth street.
While she denies having offered any
jurors for sale. she admits having
visited Mrs. Durrant and Offering. for
coin- to bring about the accomplish
ment of something which would be
invaluable to the defense of Theodore
DurranG.
Mrs. George says she only acted as
the agent of d third person and did so
innOcently.

Cholera In Japan.

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. l5.-Although
Passengers arriving by the Oriental
liners that have reached here this
week agree in the statement that chol.
era is working frightful havoc in Japan.
the newspapers of that country con-
tains no reference to the devastations
of the plague. This is probably due to
the fact that the disease finds its
victims chiefly among soldiers recently
returned from the front, and the gov
ernment takes advantage of the law
relating to the press censorship to itt
fullest extent.
According to the officers OF the
Tict0rfd and the more recently arrived
Empress If Japan, the military has
suffered loss of thousands during the
past few months and the principal
station in Japan are at present con.
verted into great hospitals. The For
mosa expedition has proved especially
disastrous.

HARRIsoN's NAME SUGGESTED.
Cleveland May Name Him for the Vacant
Justiceship.

Ousticebnlp.
CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Ex President Harrison is among
those suggested for the vacancy on the
supreme bench vacated by the death of
Justice Jackson. Attention has been
called to the fact that while Mr.. Harri-
son was president he was broad enough
to appoint as justice of the supreme
court an Confederate and Demo-
crat. Howell E. Jackson. 1t is sug-
gested, in view of this fact, that Mr..
Cleveland. brushing aside party con-
sideration. should appoint his prede-
cessor in the White House to the va
cant place in the highest judicial tribu-
nal in this country. No president
since Washington has had an opporiu-
nifty to make more than five appoint
ments to this post of duty and dignity.
Washington made IL appointments,
and Jackson, Lincoln and Grant are
the only others who ever reached i've.
Harrison named four. Cleveland has
made three appointments. and has
vacancy to fill. while there is one on
the bench who may retire before the
end of this administration.

CHICAGO, I'LL, May 21.-It is stated
here from reliable sources that John s.
johnson, who was suspended by the L. A.
w. racing board pending an investigation
into his amateur standing, has been de-
clared professional. Johnson was sus-
pended by the racing board about month
ago and was allowed thirty days in which
to answer the charges.
In company with his trainer, Tom Eek,
he went to Philadelphia to see Chairman
Gideon and answer the charge. It is
stated that when Chairman Gideon asked
him to produce the prizes won at the diff
ferent races in which he had participated,
he was unable to do so, and on this ground,
it is stated, he was declared a professional
by the unanimous vote of the board and
barred from the amateur ranks for all time.
An authority on bicycling in this city stated
that Chairman Gideon had been making a
quiet investigation into Ecks case, and as
the chairman is deliberate in his acts, he
has undoubtedly secured evidence which
justified his course in the suspension of
