News From Brazil and Cuba.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-The Her.
AIDS correspondent in Rio Janeiro,
Brazil, telegrsphs the important
information that a protocol has
been signed by the italian minis
ter and the Brazilian foreign min
lister, whereby the two countries
agree to submit their dispute
to the president of the United
States.
The agreement is similar to that
concluded by the former Minister
de Mortino. 1t contains addition
al clauses, however, which are be-
lieved to be more favorable to the
Italian claimants.
There have been 80 deaths from
yellow fever within the last "a
hours.
A dispatch to the Herald from
Havana says: 1t is learned uu-
officially that Gen. Weyler will
personally take the field.
Captain General Weyler's pur-
pose is said to be to place his COM
mand between the forces of Gomez
and Maceo in the neighborhood OF
Quivocan and force one or both to
give battle Immediately.

Fighting in Formosa Resumed.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-The Her
AIDS st. Petersburg cable says:
A special to the Novoe Vremya
from Vladivostock says that the
fighting in Formosa has been re-
newed. The insurgents to the
number OF ten thousand have at
tackled the towns of Lamsul, Jiram,
Sunko, Kozuka and Teipeh.
They are destroying the railroads
and cutting the telegraph wires.
The Japanese brigade arrived at

gents are fighting desperately and
have inflicted defeats on delayed

The Marine Minister Haigo has
taken the place Of the governor OF
Formosa, who is i'll.
From Turkestan comes news
that the governor OF the disturbed
district Of Kansu has been deposed
by the emperor OF China and re.
placed by the governor OF Tas.
Interest is displayed as to
whether the new governor will
dare to go up the country, where
the Dunganis are killing all Chin
ESQ on sight, and are making an
active campaign round the town
Of Umruchi.

Inspector Byrnes' Book.

NEW YORK, Feb. l4-Former
chief Of police, Thomas f. Byrnes,
Will leave this city early next week
for Hot Springs to remain there
for two months. He says his visit
to Hot Springs is not in quest of
health, but merely for recreation.
Saving an occasional twinge OF
rheumatism his health has never
been better. While away he pro.
poses to finish the second volume
of his book professional Crimi-
nails of America" which is a con.
tinuation of his first book, with ad-
ditions, which will bring it fully
up to date. 1t was while travelling
in Europe last summer that Mr..
Byrnes was struck by the neces-
sity for work that should place
the authorities in possession OF all
Information regarding criminals
of the strictly professional type.

The Property Loss Was S4.000,000.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA dispatch
to the Herald from Panama, Co.
lombia, says: The fire that swept
through the City Of Guayaquil,
Ecuador, did not result in as many
deaths as at first feared, but the
property loss was much greater.
Advices from the Rerald's cor
respondent in Guayaquil state that
only five members Of the fire bril-
gade were killed, though forty were
wounded and several so severely
that the death list may be mate
rally increased.
More than 1874 houses, including
several public buildings Of great
beauty and enc or more Of historic
interest were destroyed.
Among the latter were the ca
thedral and the convent adjoining.
The loss is conservatively esti-
mated at 100000.
The panic that seized upon the
people of the city hampered the
work Of the fire brigade aud it is
really wonder that the loss of
life and property was not much
greater.

notified Secretary Olney that it
will respond affirmatively to the
invitation of the Venezuelan boun-

johnson Will Wheel in Europe.

New YORK, Feb. l4.-.The World
this morning says: While several
American racing men expect to
visit Europe this season to COM
pete in the big professional races,
the only rider who has made any
definite plans is John S. Johnson.
The latter, accompanied by his
trainer, Thomas Eyck and Messrs.

March /. They will visit all the
leading cities in Europe. John
sons plan is to go direct to Baden

The initial races OF the American
contingent will take place in Italy

bition to lower Worlds record for
the mile on an English track and
timed by English timekeepers, a
feat which he is confident he can
accomplish. A special racing
wheel will be built for johnson
and quintuplet for his pace.mak-

CHICAGO COMMITTEE OF 100,
1t Proposes to Correct Present Municiral
Abuses.

ABUSES
CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-Chicago's
committee of safety, which num-
bers 100, has begun its war against
the combination in the council.
1t has decided to issue an appeal to
the people to forget party lines in
the council. The committee re-
CARDS the condition of the city as
desperate, and that the council is
disgracing the nation by their
personal alterations. 1t was
difficult task to get the 100 to-
gether so as to avoid political COM
binations, but it was finally ac-
complished and last night the
committee held it's first meeting.
Lyman j. Gage, called the
meeting to order and told the rea-
son for the public uprising. Chi
cago's reputation, he said, is at
stake. Its government is in the
possession of INSCRIPTIONS men.
Its council chambers have been
scenes of violations of trust. Its
tax systems are wrong and the
revenue insufficient. He believed
the sentiment of the people is for
better things. This new move
ment, he concluded, seeks men. 1t
does not want politicians who
bring national issues into alder
manic elections. The platform,
was then presented, after reciting
n nuy tho oon N, I Foo hoe hoan oolIoI
together to remedy the present de-
plorable government concludes:
"We believe the great mass of
of our people and voters desire
honest, effective and economical
local government. We believe that
while in national and perhaps
state politics, government through
political parties is essential
and wise, yet we believe that
when either political party should
fail in presenting proper can
didates for local offices, the
people themselves of such loyalty
have the right to protect them
selves by selecting proper local
officers, to represent them in local
government. We believe an honest
effort to remedy the evils under
which we are suffering made by
the good citizens of this locality
will be as efficient today as it has
been at every period Of the Ameri-
can nation to give to this COM
munity, the honest, fair, just and
economical administration of our
local governments which every
citizen so much desires.

The Dominion Lasaretto.

New YORK, Feb. IA special to
the World from Otta wa says: An
effort is being m AIDE TO induce the
dominion government to transfer
the nine lepers now held in re-.
straint in British Columbia, to the
new lazaretto recently erected at a
cost Of $4,000 at Tracadie, New
Brunswick. In this institute there
are nine male and sixteen female
patients. Three died during the
past year. For many years DIR. A.
G. Smith has been ia charge Of
this institution. Regarding the
result of his experience with leper-
Gus patients he says:
"No real cure for leprosy has
yet been discovered. My prede-
cessor, DR. Nicholson, and after
him myself, have treated several
Of our lepers with colored water to
see IL the influence OF the mind
over the body would cause a
change and in every instance it
did somewhat. For time all
symptoms of the disease were In
obeyance and there was q decided
improvement, but OF course only
for time, and it seemed to me
that the disease made up for lost
time afterwards.

Japan's Gift to Mrs. Gresham.

CHICAGO. Feb. 14.-The formal
presentation of the gifts of the
Emperor of Japan to Mrs. Walter
Q. Gresham was made at her resi-
dence in this city, by the Japanese
minister at Washington, by hand
ing her the following letter:
LEGATION OF JAPAN,
WASHINGTON, d. G.
To Mrs. Walter Q. Gresham.
DEAR MADAM: His imperial
majesty, my gracious sovereign,
has been pleased to express his APP
probation of the friendship shown
by your beloved husband, Walter
Quintus Gresham, towards Japan.
His majesty values greatly the
manifestation of these sentiments
of good will, which your husband,
in his high Office of secretary of
state, never failed to give practical
expression to. whenever suitable
opportunity offered, and has been
gracic dsly pleased also to signify
his appreciation of the amiable
and pleasant intercourse, which
the secretary ever maintained to-
ward me as minister of Japan. AS
a token of this feeling of apprecia-
ton, his imperial majesty has
commanded, through his excel
lency, the minister of the imperial
household, that a roll OF Gobelin
tapestry and pair of enamel
vases should be presented to you.
These articles are from among the
valued possessions of his majesty,
the emperor, and L have great sat
isfaction in carrying out his gra-
cious pleasure.
Believe me, my dear madam,
Yours, very sincerely,
S, sKURINO.

The Iron Trade.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. l4.-The
Iron Trade Review this week will
say: awhile there is no pro-
nounced increase in mill tonnage
from week to week, the feeling n
the iron market continues hopeful.
A significant feature is the steadi-
ness OF the price on finished ma
terial, with so many mills only
partly employed. Confidence that
a larger demand is not far ahead
serves to hold the prices where
they are, and the mills seem unwill-
ing to make the sharp cuts that
might result in fuller order books.
wanting rather to be in position
to take business at profit as the
demand grows. Conditions gov
erning the pig iron market have
not changed. The production in
January in excess Of consumption
caused some settling of prices on
boundary grades, but the lowest
prices on southern irons are not
made by tho largest interests in
that section. Reports from the
east Indicate stationary prices
with more liberal buying OF foun-
dry iron"

THAT NORTH POLE BUSINESS
Borchegrevink Does Not Think Nanzen
Reached the Pole.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-One Of DIR.
Nanzen's most intimate, friends an
associate of his boyhood and con-
fident in all his plans, for polar
explorations, is the Antarctic ex-
plorer, G. E. Borchegrevink who is
at presen lecturing in this country.
Mr.. Borchegrevink returned from
Boston last night with Lieut.. Per.
ry and was guest Of members Of
the Brooklyn Geographical survey
at tho Hamilton club.
Talking to reporter about the
news from DR.. Nanzen Mr.. Borch-
egrevink said:
~ cannot believe II. No one
would be more glad than myself IL
NanZen has succeeded, but the fact
that the news comes from Siberia
makes me discredit it. All this is
in direct opposition to his plan.
His intention was, il he reached
the pole, to cross it and come back
by way of Greenland. This news
indicates that he Is returnining by
the same route that led him
towards the pole. 1t seems prepos-
ferrous when one considers the
possibilities that would be sacri-
feed and the indomitable courage
Ola man like NanZen, he would
go on, on, on, and not turn back
and send news home by way Of
Siberia.
"When / was in Australia last
winter on my Antarctic expedition
the same news was spead practi-
cally all over the earth through
the Paris Figaro. L telegraphed
from Australia to Mrs. Nanzen and
went to considerable expense before
l found out the story was a canard.
l shall take everything published
with several grains OF salt until
NanZan has himself endorsed
them. What he says l shall be-
lieve."
