Portuguese Massacre.

LISBON, Dec. 23-An official dis
patch from st. Paul de Loanda, Portu-
guese Lower Guinea, says that the ma
tives of the Humbo Plateau in the
Portuguese colony of Angola have
massacred a Portuguese officer, a SER
geant and twelve men. Re enforce
ments have been sent from st. Paul de
Loanda.
Angola is south of the Congo Free
State. The colony has been held by
the Portuguese since 1856, and they
have a number of forts and commercial
establishments at different places, in
some instances several hundred miles
in the interior. 1t long possessed an
Infamous notoriety for the extent of it's
slave trade, but this traffic has been
greatly abridged by the Portuguese
since 1877, when the colony was en-
larged by a treaty with the Congo
Free State.

It Now Seems to Be Shift
ing From December
to May.
Elevator People Evidently
Making Room for the
Expected Arrivals.
Within Ten Days Four Million
Bushels Have Been Loaded
Into Ships.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-In the wheat pit
on the Board of Trade to-day the great
game being played between the clique
represented by Joseph Letter and the
elevator people under the lead of p. D.
Armour seemed to be shifting from
December to May. There was some
real wheat-siXty pounds to the bushel
and every pound calling for money
presented to Mr.. Letters attention
Chartering of vessels to take out large
amount of grain was believed to indi-
cate that the elevator people had some
100000 bushels more wheat so near
that it was time to make room for it.
What the clique is to do with all this
wheat has become of vital Importance
to vessel men and to the elevators
themselves. On that point it was GER
tain that nobody yet knows what is to
become of the accumulation of wheat
after the tap of the bell on Decem-
ber 81.
Within ten days since the close of
navigation on the lakes about 1900, 900
bushels of grain have been taken out
OF the Chicago elevators and loaded
into vessels. Vessel men never wit
messed such a rush to get grain into
the winter fleet Nearly sixty boats
are already loaded with grain. The
aggregate capacity of the winter fleet
is not over 12,000,000 bushels, and thus,
before the last vessel of the season had
reached its dock at Buffalo, a third of
the fleet here had been taken care Of
The rush for boats came to an end
during the day. Agents did not find
anybody who wanted to load grain
into their vessels. They at once came
to the conclusion that the elevator ca
pacity represented by the 1000, 900
bushels taken out was about what the
elevator people expected to ffll-Iargely
with wheat-befOre the end of the year
The receipts since the grain began
going into the boats would fill about
half of the vacated room. This would
leave room for about 100000 bushels
more grain, and was taken to be a
certain indication of the amount the
elevator people expected to bring in
before the end of the deal.

TO DISPLAY THE
AMERICAN FLAG
The Detroit Ordered to Visit
Ports Of Hayti and San
Domingo.
No Ulterior Object but Incidentally
an Americans Claim May Be
Collected.
specIal Dispatch 70 The CalI.

Speclal DlSpatch TO me Cdl.
NEW YORK, Dec. pa Washing
ton special to the Herald says: Gable
instructions We're sent Tuesdayto Com
mander J. H. Dayton, commanding the
cruiser Detroit, now lying at Port au
Prince, directing him to visit other
Haytian and Dominican ports. These
instructions indicate that the authori-
ties have no further apprehension of a
revolution in Hayti growing out of
Germany's recent action; in fact. ad-
vices received from Minister Powell
show that the condition of affairs in
the Black Republic is peaceful.
The Detroit has specially been in
structed to visit Samana Bay, in San
Domingo, which will be remembered
as the place at which Rear Admiral
Gherardi recommended that a coaling
station be established, and Mr.. Smythe,
Minister Powell'S predecessor, entered
into negotiations with the San Domin-
lean Government looking to the trans
fer of territory surrounding the bay to
the United States. 1t is declared by
department officials that the only Dur-
pose of the orders issued directing the
Detroit TO visit Samana Bay is to dis
play the American flag in that section
and that there is no ulterior object in
view.
1t will be recalled that the President
recently considered the advisability of
dispatching an American mar-of-war
to San Domingo to collect the claim of
Nathaniel Mckay Of this city, because
of the failure of the Dominican Coy
ernment to carry out the provisions of
contract entered into with the Amer
lean citizen for construction OF the
bridge. That Government recently
agreed to submit the claim to arbitra-
ton, but it is believed that the pres
ence of the Detroit in Dominican wa
ters will expedite the negotiations low
on foot.
Minister Leger told The Call CORES
pOndent to-day that so far as he knew
this Government had not replied to
Hayti's proposal that the Campbell
claim be referred to arbitration. 1t IS
generally believed that the State De-
partment will consent and that some
Government or person will be desic-
mated as aTbiter. Campbell is the
American who was maltreated in Port
au Prince and in whose behalf a reso-
luton was recently introduced in the
Senate.

fired. This frightened them so that
they gave up the search for the lost
animal and ran for home. Three of
the four men seen passed them on a
run.
The boys give no reason for their
failure to report their experience to the
authorities, but ignorance and a fear
of being implicated in the affair doubt
less kept their lips sealed. This story
of the lads is corroborated by George
Young, who lives near by. He says
that he was driving along the road,
close by the river just at night, a day
or two previous to the discovery of the
body, when there came running out of
the bushes three men. One of them
asked him for ride, saying he wanted
to catch the train to Los Angeles.
Another clew was unearthed to-day,
when Mrs. Reinhuber, a laundreSs,
notified the officers that q package of
soiled clothes had been left at her
place on the Friday or Thursday pre-
vious to the finding of the body of the
murdered man on the river bottom.
and it had occurred to her that it
might be a clew as to his identity.
Mrs. Reinhuber describes the dead
man exactly. The man left his name
and address with the laundry, but it
has been lost. She Identifies the dead
mans picture as being that of the man
who visited her place. The clothes
found on the dead man were exactly
similar to those in the laundry bundle.
The officers now have hope of soon
identifying the dead man.

RIVERSIDE, Dec. 25.-Now that the

INSTRUMENTATION OF
ANNAPOLIS CADETS.
SeVenty-0ne Restricted to Quarters for
Telling at Governing Officer Who IS
Considered Too Strict.

ANNAPOLIS Md, Dec. 23.-Seven-
ty-one cadets of the third class are
restricted to quarters for insubordina-
ton. Last Sunday morning, when the
officer in charge was in the quarters
of the third class, a number of the
cadets broke into loud yelling in re-
sentiment of the strict rules with
which the officer governs the cadets
when in charge of them. The affair
reached a crisis when the cadets held
class meeting Monday night, in or
der to inform the superintendent who
were the guilty parties. No one would
tell on himself, and nobody would tell
on the culprits Then the class COM
municated to Captain Cooper that at
their meeting they could not discover
who had done the yelling.
This was all Captain Cooper, the su-
perintendent, was waiting for before
he took heroic steps. He issued an or
der that because the cadets of the
third class maintained an insubordi-
nate spirit by refusing to tell who were
guilty of the disrespectful conduct
while the officer in charge was in the
quarters, they would be restricted to
quarters, this order to be in force on
Christmas day, except from the hours
of 8 o'clock in the morning to half
paSt at night

RECEPTION AT THE
VATICAN WELL ATTENDED.
Many Catholic Di9mtaries, Including Twenty
three Cardinals, Are Addressed
BY the Pooe.

ROME, Dec. 2S.-The reception at the
Vatican to-day was largely attended
by Catholic dignitaries. Replying to
the greetings, the Pope deplored the
conflict between the state and Holy See,
which impartial minds desired to end.
The majority of Italians, his Holiness
continued, were against it, Gnd it was
wrong to fight the will of the people,
who understood that political unity did
not suffice to give them prosperity.
Therefore he desired the independence
of the papacy and the restoration of it's
rights. Peaceful citizens should not be
confounded with the subversive fac
tions whose aim was to set the cause
of Italy and the rights of the papacy
in conflict. 1t has never been unworthy
and the state should make just repara-
ton.
The Pope. who was in excellent
health and splendid voice, blessed all
present, including twenty three Car
dinals Afterward every guest passed
the throne of the Pope and his Holiness
said few words to each of them.
