Rabbits and Coffee Under Ban at Nor

Rabbits and Coffee Under Ban at Nor
folk Island.
The story comes up from Sydney that
supplement to the Government
Gazette has been issued containing a
new law prohibiting the importation
into Norfolk Island of hares, rabbits,
and coffee plants and seed coffee. The
penalty for a breach of this law is a
fine not exceeding f2, but the Governor
reserves power to publish notification
permitting the Importation or coffee
plants and seed coffee from places
named in the notification.
Hr. Houston, the Under-Secretary
for Lands, says the object of the law is
to prevent the introduction of coffee
plants infected with a disease which
has played havoc with coffee planta-
tons and coffee planters in various
parts of the world The disease is
known as Hemileya vastratrix. and is
described as a fungus growth which at
lacks the leaf of the plant; the seed
also becomes infected. 1t has proved
terribly destructive in Ceylon and
Southern India, and has infected the
coffee groves of Java and the Mauritius.
Mr.. Houston believes that New South
Wales is free from this disease. But
coffee is not cultivated to any appreci-
able extent and has not yet taken its
place there as comercial product.
The proclamation comes in the ma
ture of preventive as far as the rab-
bits are concerned, as there is not one

ed a lesson from the experiment on
Philip Island, which lies a few miles
south of Norfolk. A few rabbits were
taken to Philip Island some time ago
and the result is that vegetation has
almost entirely disappeared, and the
surface soil, no longer held together
by the roots of plants, has through de-

MINISTERIAL CHANGE.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 15.-It is
announced that Capt. w. l.. Merry,
consul general of Nicaragua, at San
Francisco, will appeal to President
Zelaya and others in the matter of the
appointment of Il. 4. CalderOn to sue
coed him as the representative of Mic
aragua, at San Francisco. The charge
is said to be due to a difference of
opinion between Mr.. Merry and Min
lister Rodriguez regarding. the rights
OF consul TO register ships
and allow vessels which trade with
European or Asiatic ports to fly the
flag of Nicaragua, when these boats
do not touch at Nicaraguan ports. For
reasons similar to those which brought
about the change at San Francisco,
n. Perez has been selected as Mica
ragua's new consul general at New
York.

within their bounds. The people are
very polite, and always tip their hats

PERU VS.. BOLIVIA.
OUTLOOK FOR PEACE BETWEEN
THEM PRETTY SLIM.
Bolivia Grabs Peruvian Territory and
Now War Talk is All the go in
Both Countries.

New York, Feb. ia special to the
Herald from Panama, Columbia, says:
Advices of an important nature in
relation to the growing trouble between
Peru and Bolivia have been received
here from a correspondent in CuzZo.
According to these advices Bolivia has
taken undisturbed possession of a por-
ton of the territory Of Peru.
The region is of great extent and is
included between the Madre de Dios
and the Tuche rivers.
The government of Bolivia has also
issued a decree ordering the construc-
ton of Notifications at the mouth of
the Yanamba river. These are to
serve as a barrier to the defense of
military stations which Bolivia will at
once establish along the banks of the
river.
The Peruvian press, according to
Cuzzo advices, declares that this action
on the part Of Bolivia is equivalent to
a hostile invasion Of the provinces of
Sandia, Carabaya and Paucartampa.
1t is declared that the Peruvian for
eign office has made energetic protests
against lHlS occupation Dul without
avail. One influential paper, in this
connection says: Matters of this Sc
rious character are not decided by pro-
tests. The only remedy in the power
Of the country invaded is in adapting
some measures as those adopted by the
United States. A strong de-
tachment of troops has been sent to
the border where the invasion had been
made and a fleet of strong gunboats
to patrol the rivers in that region
would constitute most effective pro-
test against such aggression"
The press of both Peru and Bo-
livia is filled with articles bristling
with hostile notes.
A declaration OF war by Peru would
not be a surprise here, but in official
circles it is declared that the republic
will not act until we'll informed as to
the attitude which Chile will assume in
such an event.

AFFAIRS IN PORTO RICO.

New York, Feb. ia special to the
Herald from San Juan, Porto Rico,
says:
The Autonomist meetings have been
held and far from showing satisfac-
tory condition of harmony in the party
prove that the Autonomists have been
seriously divided by the question Of
reform.
When the autonomy commission
which had visited Spain decided, upon
its return, to suggest the name of Sa-
gasta to the full conclave of the party
as their leader, it was hoped that the
proposition would meet with general
favor. With some confidence, it was
said that Sagasta should be accepted
as the guide and exponent Of AutonO-
mist ideas.
A determined minority at once de-
clared that the promises of Sagasta
were not to be trusted. This indica-
ted the split that had occurred in the
party ranks, but the majority was
strong enough to carry the plan of flu
sion.
At the conclusion of the last meeting
on Saturday 1t was decided by vote
of 70 to II to form coalition with the
Liberal party OF Spain with Sagasta
as the leader.

Alexander Johnston, heralded as the
most eminent mind reader in the
world, in company with DIR. r. NJ.
Walsh, has been here for two or three
weeks. Late last night Johnston and
Walsh were arrested on a charge OF

pie, has been telling appalling stories
to the victims, declaring they We're
affected with some unseen but dread
full disease that sooner or later would
cause their death. He would then 70
commend them to DR.. Walsh, who,
as an eminent physician, might eff
feet a cure.
1t is alleged that the physicians has
been doing the rest, securing from the
victims, sums of money ranging up to
800. Johnston and Walsh say there
was no thought Of defrauding.

a word from that time until they
reached the lake front. Carriages
were rolling along the boulevard and

anrchiSt. They crossed north of the
boulevard and entered the lake front

AMERICAN GREEKS.
They Will Rally Round the Flag Of
Prince George at Crete.

Prince George at Crete.
Chicago, Feb. 15.-The Greek colony
in Chicago was greatly excited over
the news of the declaration of war
against Turkey by their mother cOuD-
try. These people say that if there Is
a war they will hurry back to Greece
to take up arms for the land they have
left and never ceased to love. There
are now about 1000 native born Greeks
in Chicago and something over 10000
in the whole country. Among those
who could be seen last after the cable
grams announcing the firing on the
Turkish flag by the Greeks had been
received, there was no difference of
opinion. Should affairs continue To
assume a more serious aspect there is
no doubt that a regiment of fighting
men will be enlisted in this city. N.
Mazarakos, who holds a high position
in the esteem Of his country, is out
spoken in declaring that this should be
done. It is said he would not have to
call twice for volunteers.
Among the Greeks there a number
of the friednly societies which extend
over the whole country, wherever
Greeks have gone in search for a new
home. The members Of the societies
keep in the closest connection with
each other, and any news concern
ing their country is spread far and
wide as rapidly as the wires will carry
it.
Last evening the whole Greek colony
in Chicago heard the report Of the shot
from Prince Georges fleet which sent
defiance at the Turkish flag. In some
quarters there was immediate talk Of
starting an enlistment but it was
deemed wiser to move slowly and not
excite antagonism before II should be
absolutely necessary.
