special to The Times-Union and Citi-
zen from Key West says: Schooners

Not understanding the signal, they pro-

thoroughly searched, but no arms nor

allowed to proceed. The Names Of

must be strong ground FOR suspicion

st. Petersburg, December 22-In a
strongly anti-British article today The
Novosti says: In consequence of the
pretension of England to compensate
herself for the Russian occupation of
Port Arthur by the acquisition of Port
Hamilton or Lazareff, and in view of
the possibility of the disturbing action
of Japan, Europe stands on the brink
of grave diplomatic complications. 1t
is, therefore, we'll to recall that the re-
inforcement of the British squadron in
the Pacific permits Russia, France and
Germany ITO effectivelyq prevent dis
tur4bance of the balance of power be-
tween the three powers on one hand
and Great Britain and Japan on the
other, such as might be produced by
violent seizures of territory"
In conclusion The NovOsi expresses
the hope that the isolation of Great
Britain in regard to the other European
powers, will emparalyze her action suf-
ficiently to permit the preservation OF
peace from the dangers threatening it
at the present moment.

Preparations for Relief of the klOndyker!

Washington, December 22.-Captain
Brainaru, of the subsistence depart
| menit Of the army, arrived in Wash
ington this morning. Although Secre-
tary Alger is confined to his home by
a severe cold, he sent immediately for
the officer and had a conference with
him respecting the execution of his
plans for the relief of the miners in
the Yukon country.
Nothing has been heard from Mr.
Kjellmann, the reindeer herder, now
in Lapland, in answer to the direction
of Secretary -Alger respecting the Sc
lection of 600 reindeer for transpOrta-
tion for Alaska SO DR.. jackson has
been made a special agent of the waf
department and ordered to proceed
with all diligence to Lapland to buy
the animals and arrange for their ship
ment to the United States.
The announcement that the war de-
partment is 10y no means committed to
any one route in the effort to reach the
miners in the Klondyke country has
caused persons interested in various
routes to advance the claims OF their
respective sections. The Spokane
chamber of commerce has sent here
Frederick r. Marvin, an energetic news
paper man of that town, as its repre-
sentative to urge the superior facili-
ties of the overland route northWard
from Spokane. This is the old tele-
graph route, laid down by the agents
of the Western Union telegraph COM
pany years ago, when they sought to
run a telegraph line to Bering strait.
Mr.. Marvin has stated to the war de-
partment that the route is still clear;
that through the dense northern for
ests there is a trail $50 it. broad, afford
ing easy passage for draft animals and
that the feasibility of this route in win
ter is shown by the fact that for years
it had been traversed by numerous
trappers and proSpectOrs, while the
absence of heavy grades ensures the
capacity Of animals to carry large
| loads. Secretary Alger is asked to del
egate some OF the army officers near
| Spokane to report upon the advantage
! of the route.

MARQUIS in a speech of two hours du-
ration, satisfactorily explained matters
and denied the accuracy OF the news

seven speeches were made against au-

autonomy win not bring peace to the

the members Of the Cuban junta OF

Lieutenant Colonel Ruiz and five 9TH

Senior Guzman submitted motion
which was unanimously approved ex-

Invalid County Municipal Bonds

Ex-Chief Justice Shepperd, who was

this decision follows that of two years

Reciprocity Negotiation With German y
Germany

Washington, December 22.-The re-
ciprocity negotiations between the
United States and Germany are prac-
tically suspended. They never got be
yond the initial stage. There appears
to have been a willingness on the part
of both governments to look into the
subject, but the inquiry did not de-
velop any prospects Of material con-
cessions on either side. The articles Oh
which reciprocity "agreement' can De
made are produced in France and not
in Germany. The utmost extent of a
reciprocity treaty between the United
States and Germany, under the present
law, would be 20 per cent. reduction Of
duty on certain agreed upon German
products. Germany is chiefly concern
ed about sugar, but the 20 per cent, re-
duction in duty permitted under the
Dingley law, it is said, would be of in
significant consequence. Moreover,
some doubt has arises as to whether
any concessions on this article would
be granted by the United States in view
of the tendency toward building up
the American sugar trade as against
that OF bounty paying nations.

The Murder of American Sailors in japan

The Murder of American Sailors in Japan
Washington December 22-Further
details of the killing of the two Ameri-
can sailors attached to the United
States fleet in Japan have been receiv-
ed here and have been brought to the
attention of the department of state,
which has begun an investigation.
Montgomery, lit appears, was killed in
YOkahanla September End, last He
was not intoxicated but was murdered
by fbOatmen. EppeS' case was similar,
except that he was killed at Nagasaki
during the present month. He had
been ON leave and was returning
aboard ship when murdered The tes-
timony gathered shows that he was
perfectly sober and some sailors on a
passing ship hearing cries of help look
ed over the water in time to see him
being thrown from his boat Lacking
a small boat they could not succor him
His body was found several days Ia
ter floating in the bay. The Japanese
government was appealed to in each
case and while some arrests have been
made, the American contingent in ia
pan feel that the perpetrators of the
murders are still at large. 1t is said
that every Japanese boat in the harbor
is obliged to register it's passengers be-
fore carrying them off shore 50 that
under ordinary conditions it should be
easy to find the guilty parties.
AT the Japanese legation it was
stated that the matter has not yet
been brought to their attention The
legation officials do not regard the
matter as serious.
