THE ISTHMUS CANAL
Renewed Rumors of Purchase by
English CAPITAL

NEW YORK, Spet. 14.-A special from
dispatch regarding the Panama canal
has been revived by additional intelli-
gence which has reached Washington
A German diplomat received word from
a compatriot, who is now stationed in
Paris, that British company is negoti-
atirg for the sale of the canal, and it is
believed that the company will prove to
be the Bank of England. The sale of
the canal according to this diplomat, is
the result of numerous conferences held
in Europe during the last winter, when
the United States government was urg-
ing the completion of the Nicaraguan
canal.
Maurice Trubert, the Charge d'Affa.res
at the French embassy, observes great
reticence in discussing the Panama af-
fair He emphatically asserts that he
has received no official notification of
such a transfer. He showed Paris pa
per, LIE Courier Of September 5th, in
which an authoritative denial is given to
all such disquieting rumors as that the
French capitalists intended to sell their
franchise to England or any other ma
ton.
Nevertheless, it is believed by other
diplomats that there is yet much to be
learned regarding the Panama canal,
and 1t is known that the State Depart
ment is quietly investigating at Colon
and in the capitals of Europe.

IN HARD LUCK
The Dukes Offer to Settle the Bills
Is Refused


LONDON, Sept 14.-Many Americans
were present at the Marlborough Police
Court this morning when Mr.. and Mrs.
Edgar Serge de Mel, otherwise known
as Duke and Duchess of Rio Grande, the
female prisoner being an American and
claiming relationship with ex-senator
Conger of Michigan, were brought up on
remand charge of defrauding hotels
and boarding houses. The Duke"
claims to be a Brazilian nobleman, but
the Brazilian Minister says there Is no
such title as Duke Of Rio Grande." The.
two prisoners had friends in court today
who contributed to pay the bills incur
red, expecting that the prosecution
would be stopped. Counsel for the pris-
oners said he was ready to pay the
claims against his clients, adding that
there was no evidence of criminal in
tent, and that therefore he asked that
the proceedings be discontinued. The
magistrate, however, said: This is a
very serious case and cannot be settled
so lightly. The appearance of the pris-
oners is against them, and there seems
to have been systematic scheme for
robbery" Both prisoners were then
formally committed for trial and subse-
quently released on bail furnished by
friends in court.

If SPAIN WANTS WAR
THE NAVY OFFICERS PROPOSE
TO BE READY
A Spanish Consul Finds Fault Because
Smack Shippers Can't Smuggle
Bad Liquor

NEW YORK, Sept. IA special to
the Journal and Advertiser from Wash
ington says:
1t is now evident that the government
IS getting ready to deal with Spain Wig
orously. The Board of officers of the
Naval Intelligence Bureau had a con-
ference as to the scheme of naval opera
tions to be adopted in case of war with
Spain. A plan which was worked out in
detail some time ago was discussed and,
after few alterations to bring it up to
date, it was adopted.
AT the first sign of actual war the pow
erful North Atlantic squadron will rem
devious within striking distance of Ha-
vana, while the four naval reserve ships
of the American line-the Paris, New
York, ST. Louis and st. Paul-will re-
ceive their armaments as cruisers and
will proceed to Spain to watch the oper-
ations Of the Spanish fleet, track it and
warn the American commanders in ad-
vance of it's movements.
A WRATHY CONSUL
TAMPA. Fla, Sept. 14.-The Spanish
Consul here, Pedro Soils, IS wrathy be-
cause the State patrol steamer, the
Germ, fired on several Spanish smacks.
The Germ is large trim launch belong
ing to the State Health Board and ID
armed with small cannon.
The Spanish smacks hover around the
coast and sell Spanish liquors, etc, to
the sponging and fishing vessels that
come here, thus infringing on the quar-
antine laws. This practice is to be
broken up, and the State health authors
ties have adopted stringent measures.
Last week two were captured and the
American and Spanish vessels caught
together were sent to quarantine.
While the Germ was on her last trip.
she sighted two Spanish smacks and
they put to sea. Finding she could not
overhaul them, the launch sent solid
shot after them. The second shot
brought them to, and they were sent to
quarantine. The Spanish Consul wired
a complaint to Washington against fir
ing on Spanish vessels, and the matter
was brought to the attention of DR.. ].
Y. Porter, State Health officer.
DR.. Porter and Mr.. Soils had confer
ence, in which the health officer, who is
a retired naval physician, plainly told
the Consul that the smacks would be
fired on and hit, too if they did not stop
when signalled. There was much feel
ing over the firing as the Cubans have
made much ado over the matter of an
American vessel firing on the Spanish
flag and jeered the Spaniards here about
it.

State Board Of Trade

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14.-At the
meeting of the state board Of trade, the

riculture, asking the department to take
the matter in hand and assist in bringing
the wasp to this state. A long discussion
took place relative to preparing fine ex-
hibit of California products to the Paris
exposition in 1900. A committee, consist
ing of Col. John p. Irish, w. H. Mills and
w. +. Pierce, was appointed to devise the
best plan for accomplishing this end. Mr..
