Orientals Threaten to Assume Supremacy
in Pacific Commerce.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE. report
of the commissioner of navigation for
1896, after referring to the necessity for
the passage Of free ship bill, states
that our maritime rank on the Pacific is
now threatened by new rival, Japan,
which, under liberal and progressive
laws, has just established transpaciic
steamship line to the United States,
and, with the cooperation of American
capital, is preparing to extend rapidly
the service. In 1880 the tonnage of
American vessels entering the
United States from the ports
of Asia ard Oceanica was $685.
1876 tons, and Of foreign vessels, 49,
PSI tons. In 1895 the American ton
mage entering was 30s, 4S1 tons. The
large and profitable carrying trade,
once conducted between Asiatic and
European ports by American vessels
which seldom entered American ports,
has almost entirely passed away. We
have already seen the American flag,
the commissioner says, almost wholly
disappear from the mid-Atlantic, save
that borne by the mail steamers of the
line, and the figures present.
ed tend to show that the carrying trade
Of the Pacific is slipping from US.

Alleged to Be Still Alive.
KANsAN CITY, Nov. ia special to
a local paper from Guthrie, o. T., says
There is considerable excitement both
here and at Oklahoma City, over the
report that Harry St. John, son of ex-
Governor John P. St. John of Kansas,
is not dead, as announced three weeks
ago. Young St. John was under in
dictment for the murder of his wife
and his trial was to have commenced
after his death was announced.
The story of St. Johns probable re-
turn to life was started week after his
supposed burial and, though it was
strenuously denied, it will not down.
It has now been revived by a reliable
Ell Reno man, who declares that within
{; week he has seen St. John walking on
the streets of Kansas City with Judge
J. H. Pitzer, Of this city, his former as
sociate in the legislature, and after
wards his attorney. Continuing, the
special states:
1T is a significant fact that it has not
as yet been shown that anybody but the
doctors and undertaken saw Mr.. St..
John after his death was announced.

ment asking for public subscriptions on
loan Of $50 100000. While the minister
said that the loan was not to be made
purposely for the immediate purchase
of munitions and equipments for war,
yet it was probable that the bulk of the
money would be used to defray expen-
ses of the conflict now going on in
Cuba. --

like a national charitable subscription

Prince HoAenlohe Makes q State
ment Regarding Revelations
Of Bismarck. 3.
The Terms Of the Treaty Cannot
at This Time Be Given to
the Public.
The Position Of Germany in the
Dreibund Has Not Been
Affected.

BERLIN, Nov. l7.-In anticipation of
q statement from the imperial chancel-
lor, Prince Hohenlohe, on the subject
the revelations made by Prince Bis.
marck, through his organ, the HAM
burger Nachrichten, regarding the se-
cret treaty which existed between Rus,
STA and Germany from 1886 to 1890,
there was a large attendance at the
opening Of the reichstag. Among those
present was Count Herbert Bismarck,
eldest son of the ex-chancellor who, it
was rumored, was to take an active
part in-the debate and defend his father
against attacks.
Count Won Hompresch, centrist
leader, introduced the Interpolation,
notice of which was given on Wednes-
day last. In brief, the question was,
did a secret convention between Rus
STA and Germany up to 1880, and
if SO, why was it not prolonged?
Finally, have the recent disclosures had
influence upon the dreibund and Ger.
many's relations with the other powers
Hohenlohe's Reply.
In reply, Prince Hohenlohe said:
''In regard to the negotiations~be-
tween Russia and Germany from 1870
to 1890, it was agreed at the time that
absolute secrecy should be observed.
The point of time when this obligation
ceased cannot, in consequence, be de-
fined by US alone. therefore, for the
moment, am not in a position to give
official information concerning the re.
snlt of those negotiations then.
GAS regards the tendency of German
policy towards Russia, since the spring
of 1890, it is equally impossible to give
an exhaustive reply so long.as that obli-
cation continues, and leave it to the
foreign secretary, who took part in the
deliberations, to say what can be said
in that respect.
"After careful examination of the
available material, I cannot help recog-
nizing as full of weight the motives
which governed German policy, and,
at the same time, I can express
the conviction that no unfavor-
able modification in our relations
with Russia has made itself felt. The
assertion that at that time British, or,
indeed, any foreign influences have
had contributory effect, or that
they now have, must be dismissed as
devoid of all foundation" bravo,
Bravo.]
GAS to the effect which recent pub
LEGATIONS have had upon the position of
Germany in the dreibund and her re-
lations with other European powers, I
am glad to be able to declare that the
cloud of distrust, which at the first
was observable among some
classes of the population of those coun-
tries, has again disappeared, and our
relations with our allies are marked
now, as before, by absolute mutual con-
fdence. In the same way, our rela-
lions with Russia have never for
ceased to be good and
friendly Applause from all parts of
the house, .-s

From the Incessant Sound of

Have Met.
Sky Lighted Up by Constant Fire
of Artillery---Mace0 Has q
Strong Position.

CHICAGO, Nov ia Tribune spe-
cial from Jacksonville, Fla, says: :
Cipher dispatches just received report
a fierce battle in progress in Pinar del
Rio. ut is believed Maceo and Weyler
have met. The reports of firearms
have been almost necessarily heard for
several hours" No details of the bat
tle\are given, except the statement that
most decisive engagement is being
waged.
The last definite news of Captain
General Weyler located him at Oleyea;
within few miles of Maceo's entrench-
ments, where the battle is being waged.
The dispatch adds:
1.-The insurgent forces are well To-
Gated in the hills, and are pouring
hot fire into the Spanish troops. which
have repeatedly been driven back in
attempts to capture the Cuban strong
hold. The insurgents have the ad.
vantage of position, being at great
elevation, but the Spaniards are max
ing most desperate attack.
From a distance, it looks as if sew
eral towns are in flames. The sky is
lighted up by the constant fire of ar
tillery. Whether or not Maceo himself
is directing the insurgents tactics can
not at this time be learned"
The insurgents have again attacked
the village of Condado and have can
nonaded it but without inflicting any
damage, the Spanish sharpshooters
having silenced the artillery by picking
off the gunners.

MUST PUSH THINGS.

Weyler Warned by His Government to
Be More Energetic.
WASHINGTON, Nov. lit is learned
here on authority that the Spanish gov
eminent has given General Weyler to
erations against the insurgents aggres.
sively and vigorously. Unless he soon
achieves decisive victory over the Gu
bans, it is believed he will be recalled
General Weyler, it is understood, is
aware of the alternative, and his pres
ent campaign in Pinar del Rio is ex.
pected to result in all engagement that
will put new aspect on the Cuban sit
uation one way or the other. The cam
paign, therefore, has become to him a
personal matter, and with the knowl-
edge that his
Prestige and Rank Are at Stake,
the Havana cables are being watched
with interest for news of more impor-
tant battles than the skirmishes and
guerilla fighting that thus far have
come by way Of them. General Wey-
Ter has all the troops that he can use.
There are over 200, 900 Spanish soldiers
in Cuba, and the force under the cap
tain general in his present operations in
the field in person is over 10000 men.
Maceo, against whom he is now oper-
ating, has under him, it is estimated,
about 1000. Spain having fulfilled all
of General Weyler's wishes as to troops
now expects results from him. Consul
General Lee has acquainted the adj
ministration with these facts and the
president is at present simply awaiting
events and will shape his course by the
developments.
1t is the hope Of General Weyler that
he will be able to score a decided vic
tory before the assembling of congress,
Dec. 7. Spain fears adverse action by
that body soon after it meets, and has
urged General Weyler to demonstrate
his ability to crush the rebellion within
the next two weeks if possible.
viii Influence Cleveland's Message.
In view of the fact that Spain is now
making a strong and almost supreme
effort to subdue her insurgent colony,
and that a crisis apparently is at hand,
the president will delay writing that
part of his forthcoming message on the
Cuban situation until the last moment
position the administration will take
with reference to Cuba in this message
of the chief magistrate will be largely
determined by the news received before
Dec. 7.
