RUnORS
FROM CHINA.

BERLIN, Dec. All sorts of wild
rumors are current here and at Kiel
probably based in the main, upon the
speech of Emperor William at the
opening of the reichstag as to the re-
lations between Germany and China
But most of these are discredited. The
National Zeitung has confirmed the
statement of the emperor that Ger
many's only object in the occupation
at Kiao-Chau is to protect German
missionaries in China, and the alarm
list stories are now taken with liberal
allowances of salt A sensation was
caused today by a report that the
Chinese had massacred 200 German sail
ors belonging to the German cruiser
Division in Kiao-Chau bay, but there
has been no confirmation of this; while
the latest dispatches received from Ad-
miral Won Diederich, commander Of the
Division, which were dated the after
noon of Nov 2S, make no reference to
fighting at Koai-Chau. The Berliner
Tageblatt is responsible for the state
ment that two additional cruisers are
going to Kiao-Chau, bringing the force
there up to ten ships, with 1000 men
and 120 guns. The same journal says
also that force of marines, including

A Town Captured and Fifty
Spaniards Killed.

HAVANA, Dec 1, (via Key West,
Fla.)-The insurgent generals, Rabi and
Salvador Ries, pillaged the village Of
Guisa, about fifteen miles from Baya-
mo. Their artillery destroyed several
hlockhouses, killing the military COM
mander and one lieutenant. The gar
rison, after having lost about fifty
soldiers killed and wounded, surrend-
cred. The insurgents plundered the
stores, securing rich booty, two
months supplies, a good quantity Of
ammunition and two hundred rifles,
The Spanish have sent reinforcements
to retake the town. 1t is persistently
rumored that the insurgent leader
Cuervo who started for the insurgent
ranks to induce the followers Of Gen.
Arangueren to surrender, has not re-
turned; and it is believed he has been
assassinated, although it is reported
that the insurgent leader, Pitierre, of
Guines, Havana province, and Leader
Pancho Perez, Of Sancti Spiritus, had
written to the Autonomist party that
they were willing to surrender and to
accept autonomy. They have not done
so, in spite of the fact that ten days
have gone by.

the Flushing railroad, on Long Island.
Mr.. Clark proved SO valuable a servant
that when Mr.. Dillon secured control
of the Union Pacific he appointed him
general freight agent. He was rapidly
promoted and served as vice president
and general manager. 1t was at this
time that Mr.. Clark first met Jay
Gould. In 1884 Jay Gould induced Mr..
Clark to accept the general manager
ship of the entire Gould southwestern
system. He was in full control of its
1000 miles of tracks, the annual earn
ings of which were $50, 100000, and Mr..
Gould's personal representative in the
West. After Jay Gould got control Of
the Union Pacific he made Mr.. Clark
general manager of that road and for
several years he managed that great
property, as we'll as the Missouri Pa
cifie system. When the Union Pacific
went into the hands of receivers, Mr..
Clark was chairman of the board of
receivers and practically manager Of
the property. Naturally he was the
man selected by the reorganization
committee to continue to direct its at
fairs, but his health being impaired
by his long and arduous labors, Mr
Clark was finally forced to decline.

about the presidency of the new COM

circles was that the ncumbent's name

The lists are filled with half dozen
candidates, and in all reasonable
probability they seem to run like this:
Edwin W. Winter, Horace G. Burt, S.
H H. Clark, Edward Dickinson. Will
lam H. Truesdale and oliver w. Mink.
MIR. BURT SAYS NO.
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 1.-Notwith-
standing the emphatic denial of Horace
G.. Burt, there are railroad men in
Omaha who believe that gentleman
will be the president of the reorgan-
zed Union Pacific railroad.
Mr.. Burt arrived in Omaha Monday
and came here directly from trip of
inspection over the Kansas Pacific rail-
road, the Kansas branch of the Union
Pacific On that trip he was accom-
panied by J. o. Brinkerhoff, of Kansas
City, general superintendent of the
Union Paciflc's lines in Kansas. Yes
terday and today he was at the Union
Pacific headquarters, familiariZing
himself with Union Pacific affairs.
The reasons railroad men think Mr..
Burt is going to be the president of
the Union Pacific are not remote. They
argue that Mr.. Burt is very well post
ed on every branch of practical rail-
roading and stands very close to Mar
vim Hughitt president of the Chicago
& Northwestern railway. Marvin
Hughitt is a power on the committee
which has temporary charge of the
Union Pacific. The rapid promotions
that he has given Mr.. Burt and the
fact that on his last two trips here
Marvin Hughitt has been most closely
attended by Mr.. Burt are also cited
to show the close touch the third vice
president enjoys with his president.
However, Mr.. Burt said today, when
asked about the report that he had
been offered and had accepted the
presidency of the Union Pacific: mo,
sir; so far as I am concerned there is
not a word of truth in the report"
BURT OPENS AN OFFICE.
OMAHA, Dec. lit has just develop
ed that Horace G. Burt has opened An
office here in the same building with
the Elkhorn officers, but on another
floor, and is there ensconsed with priv
ate secretary and clerks. Mr.. Burt re-
turned to this city this afternoon in
company with General superintendent
Brinkerhoff, of the Kansas Pacific. The
two had Just completed an inspection
of the Kansas Pacific line, having gone
over it thoroughly all the way from
Kansas City to Denver.
NOT FOR MIR. WINTER.
NEW YORK, Dec. According to
the best Information obtainable here
there is nothing in the report that e.
w. Winter formerly president of the
Northern Pacific, will succeed S. II. H.
Clark as president of the Union Pacific.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-12-02

about a Northwestern man to take
charge of the property. 1 presume
this is based on the fact that Marvin
Hughitt, president of the Northwest
ern, is the only active railroad nan
on the committee having temporary
charge of the road. But Winslow S.
Pierce, attorney for the Gould inter-
ests, is also a member of that COM
mittee. To my mind, Jacob S. Schiff,
the eminent financier of Wall street,
is the most powerful member of the
committee. What he says is likely to
have great weight"
There has been a great deal Of talk
about the probability of the election
Of Horace G.. Burt, third vice presi-
dent of the Northwestern. to the
Union Pacific property. Those who
predict Burt's election argue that
President Hughitt wants to take care
Of H. R. Mccullough, general traffic
manager of the Northwestern, by
making him third vice president to
succeed Mr.. Burt. Edwin w. Winter,
formerly president of the Northern
Pacific, is still named by those very
familiar with railroad matters of an
executive nature. They predict the
election of Mr.. Winter as president
of the reorganized Union Pacific. or
as chairman Of the board of directors.
