was great reason TO hope, he said, that
these sentiments had not been thrown
away, and the time was coming when
the United States would appreciate
them.
The duke of Devonshire said that the
merchants of London might suggest
the means of esta blishing a better
understanding between the home gov
eminent and the colonies. Through the
agency OF the league great progress
had been made in recent years for col
onial defense. The colonies knew ex-
actly what the government would
undertake in case of an attack, and
also what would be expected of them
selves. The government attached the
greatest Importance 10 the renewal in
some form or other of naval arrange
ments with Australasia. He hoped that
the time would soon come when an
other conference would be held 10 con-
slider the arrangement and extend it to
the old colonies and expressed the hope
that the opportunity would be taken to
reopen the discussion of the whole
question OF colonial defense

The duke of Devonshire. in the course
of his remarks.e said that the colonial
de1ense committee. consisting of rep
resentatives of the war; colonial and
admiralty offices, had desired him to
make public to colonizations the prin-
ciples upon which the plans of the col
onial defense committee were based.
He proceeded to explain that the plans
consisted of the maintenance of Great
sBrltalns supremacy at sea upon the
basis of a system of imperial defense
against attack from sea at all places
likely to be attacked
The committee. he added, would adj
vocate the creation of adequate fixed
defenses and troops sufficient to cope
with any possible enemy.

San Diego. Cal, Dec. 3.-The towns
of Pochutia and Huatulco, in the state
of Oaxaca, Mexico, were visited by a
tremendous hurricane on the night OF
Nov IL and serious damage done in the
towns and on the coffee fincas sur
rounding them. So far as known only
four lives were lost. Enrique Leon and
his brother Federico, owners of fine
finca four leagues from Hautulco, were
killed by the falling walls of their
adobe house, and their foreman,
Gregorio' Machado, was killed in the
patio where he had run to escape by
holding onto the roots of an orange
tree. Near Pochutla a woman was
drowned in the San Andres river While
attempting to cross to her children,
who were on the opposite bank, in the
ruins of their home. The settlements
around Pochutla and Huatulco include
thrifty German and Scotch colonies,
and immense sums have been expended
in setting out coffee plantations. The
storm wrought fearful havoc among
the tender orchards. on some fincas
completely destroying the labor of the
past three years and leaving the land
barren of crops as well as houses. In
the neighbOrhood of Pochutla alone
nearly 100000 trees were set out.

On the former plantation. ten houses
were blown down and $4,000 trees de-

houses of the Moses were swept away
and they were left homeless in the
storm. On the Finca Ell Yschil owned
by A. c. NJ. Machair. the ranch house
was blown, the warehouse destroyed
and most of the crops deluged with
water and sand. which was a river
during the storm, and left a bed of
sand in the middle of the formerly fer
tile land. All the houses occupied by
the Mosos were blown down except
two. and trees of all kinds flew through
the air. On some ranches where the
trees were not destroyed great loss was

IOWA SOLDIERS HOME.
WARRANTS WILL BE ISSUED
AGAINST THE OFFICERS.
VIII Be Charged with Il Viola ton of
the Statutes in Insisting That the
Inmates Pay n Part of Their PEN

Des Moines, Dec. &C D. Fullen.
federal attorney for the southern dis
t1ict of Iowa, today announced that
he viii next week swear out warrants
for the arrest of the commandant and
trustees of the Iowa Soldiers home
at MarshalltOwn, on charges Of viO-
lation of the federal statutes for the
protection of pensioners in their rights
to their pensions.
Nearly two years ago the manage
ment of the home determined that it
was unfair to the state to maintain a
home for soldiers who received 0en-
sions, unless the pensioners paid q
Fart of their pensions TO the lnstlLu-
ton. Accordingly, in the interest of
discipline and of justice to the state.
rule was adopted requiring that all
pensioners pay TO the home all their
pensions in excess of Sc per month.
The pensioners were required to de-
post their pension certificates with
the commandant.
Attorney Fullen discovered that the
rule seems to be violation of the
state referred to. which makes it d
misdemeanor, punishable by fine and
Imprisonment. 70 hold or attempt TO
enforce any lien against pension. He
will swear out informatiOns under
these sections and the officers will be
brought before Judge WoolsOn at once.
The statute provides that for such Of
fenses the offenders may be taken di-
Iectly before the court, without indict-
ment. The same rule that is enforced
in Iowa prevails in the state soldiers
homes of several other states. and if
the court decides against the Iowa in
stitution it will apply to all alike. The
only exception made by the federal
statute is in the case of the National
Soldiers and Sailors homes. which are
allowed to hold in trust for pensioners
all their pensions above S. per month,
to be turned over to them at their dis
charge. or to their heirs in case of
death; no part of it can be confscated-

HE Is SILENT.
Germany's II representative Has Moth
ing 10 Say.

ing TO Say.
Washington, Dec. S-Mr. Won Reich
enau, the charge d'affafres of the Ger
man embassy, declined to express an
opinion, this afternoon. when spoken
TO with regard TO the presidents procla-
nation. He simply stated in a general
way, that the matter had been the
subject Of correspondence for some
time, but that he could not anticipate
what action the imperial government
would take with reference TO the proc
1amation, nor did he care to express an
opinion regarding it.
It is not believed that the German
government will consent to the impo-
Sition of a discriminating tax on Ger
man vessels without at least a more
vigorous protest than has yet been
made The German contention it is
understood. is that the tax complained
of in the Presidents proclamation is
not imposed solely on American yes
sells. but upon vessels of all nation
alities, including German vessels. The
revenues arising from the tax are not
covered into the imperial treasury. but
become the property of the several
states and by whom the money is
used TO improve their harbors IN order
to facilitate the loading and unloading
of vessels. It is argued that if Ger
many should rescind this tax, so far
as American vessels are concerned. it
would at once cali forth a protest not
only from the English, French and
other European powers. which would
stll BE- subject to taxation but from
general shippers as well.

IMPERIAL UNITY.
Subject of Discussion in the British
Empire League.


London, Dec. 3.-The Duke of Devon
shire, addressing the British Empire
League today at a meeting of that
organization at the Guild hall. said that
the idea of imperial unity was progress
ing in some of the colonies as a prac-
tical movement, though those engaged
in the movement were in some degree
disappointed. Lord Salisbury and Mr.
Chamberlain, he said, were in sympa-
thy with the idea, but probably the
time had not yet arrived to settle the
proposals of the Ottawa conference.
Still, the developments were tending
toward unification.
Mr. r. r. Ibell moved that the
meeting proceed to the election OF
officers for the league for the ensuing
year, and the motion was carried. The
Duke of Devonshire was elected presi-
dent. Mr. A. ]. Balfour and the Mar
quis of Dufferin were among the vice.

carded all attempts at a retaIiatorv
