Guilty In iilling the vacancy on the Mica
ragua canal commission, caused by the
voluntary retir. ment of Capt. O. NJ. Car
ter, Corps of Engineers. u. S. A. Three
officers of the Engineer Corps were in
vited to serve on the commission, but each
in turn declined, one on account of his
health and the other two ON account of
the Importance of the works now in their
charge. These were Major s. S. Leach,
stationed at New York; Major ]. W. Pow
ell, stationed at Pittsaurg, and Major w
L. Rossell. stationed at Mobile. Another
reason which 1t is said inspires the Offi-
GERS OF the corps to object to the assign
ment Is the unpleasant experience that
Col. Ludlow had with the Senate commit
tee when he was before it in explanation
CT the conclusions in regard to the canal
project reached by the board OF which he
was president.
In view OF the apparent general dsincE-
nation to membership on the commission
the Secretary of War has concluded to
exercise his prerogatiye In the matter by
duty and ordering him to perform 1t re-
gardless OF his own personal wishes or
convenience in the matter. 1t is unusual
to take this course in time of peace but
1t is considered almost necessary under
the circumstances. It is reported that
Major c. w. Raymond. stationed at Phil
adelphia, has expressed his willingness to
serve OF the commission, and If that is SO
It Is likely that he will be selected.

BROOM AT THE MASTHEAD
New German Liner Breaks Plymouth and
Southampton Records.
Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse Beat
Previous Records by Over
Half Day.

NEW YORK, October Ga cablegram
received from London today announces
that the new North German Lloyd steamer
Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse was sighted
passing Scilly Islands light at 1875 o'clock
this forenoon. This announcement makes
1t quite certain that the leviathan steamer
has broken all previous records held to
Plymouth and Southampton, and brought
the time Of passage across the Atlantic to
the English channel very close to the
much-talked-of five days.
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse sailed
from New York for Plymouth and Bremen
on September 30. clearing the bar at 6:O2
pm. and the lightship twenty minutes
later. Allowing four hours for the run
from Scilly to Plymouth. she is due there
about 2:35 o'clock pm. This will make the
time of passage about ) days Is hours and
IL minutes. This is better by Is hours and
IL minutes than the time of the Hamburg
liner Fuerst Bismarck, which has held the
Plymouth record of 6 days hours and "a
minutes since August, 1896. and the rate
beats the Southampton record held by the
American liner st. Louis of days 10 hours
and IA minutes, made last month, by about
thirteen hours, for had she been going to
southampton, she would have been due
there about $50 o'clock this evening. The
average rate of speed made on the passage
would be about 21.6O knots per hour with
her arrival at Plymouth at the time reck-
oned. The time here given for. the arrival
OF the big steamer is, of course, approx
mate, and when she does arrive she may
make still better showing than this
The Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse, on her
arrival here on September 26 on her maiden
trip, made the passage from Southampton
in days % hours and 81 minutes. at an
average speed Of 2l.:'9 knots, lowering the
westward Southampton record held by the
st. Paul hour and 56 minutes. BY smas sh-
ing the records both eastward and west
ward she is now queen of the Southamp-
ten course.

Troops In Guatemala.

United States Consul Pringle at Guate-

this morning that the government forces
recaptured the town of Quezaltenango from
the insurgents yesterday. A telegram re-
ceived at the Navy Department announced
the arrival of the cruiser Alert at San
Jose de Guatemala this morning That
vessel was sent from San Francisco to
protect American interests in Guatemala,
reported to be in danger because of the
revolution. She has already visited Ocas
and Champerico, and will return to those
ports in few days.
Quezaltenango was captured by the in
surgents about two weeks ago. 1t lies
about forty miles inland and Is the capital
of the province of that name.
The State Department has gone as far az
1t deems expedient toward the protection
of American interests by having the Alert
sent 10 Guatemala. although it Is not ex-
pectsd she can be of much service. mas
much as the revolutionary movement is
confined to the interior of the country be-
