CONSUL AT SALVADOR
CONSIDERS LOCAL AFFAIRS AS

The Certainty Of Revolution Make:
the Presence Of United States

CHICAGO. Dec. 30.-A special from
Washington says Salvador is threatened
with another revolution. For the pur-
pose of properly protecting American in
terests in the disturbed country, the
Navy Department. upon the request of
the State Department, telegraphed or
ders to the gunboat Marietta, which is
at Mare Island, Cal, directing that YES
sci to proceed as soon as possible to La
Libertad and remain in that port until
further orders. The Importance of this
action will be appreciated when 1t is
understood that the Marietta was being
fitted for service in Chinese waters.
The information upon which the State
Department based it's request to Secre-
tary Long for the dispatch of United
States man-of-war came from Consul
Jenkins, stationed at San Salvador. Mr..
Jenkins cabled the department that the
Condition of affairs in Salvador Is
alarming; send warship." This message
was transmitted to Secretary Long, and
the action taken was the result.
Mail advices which have reached the
department from Salvador have indi-
Gated that trouble was brewing. The
Ezeta faction is again fighting President
Rafael Antonio Gutierrez but it is ex-
pected that Honduras and Nicaragua

AN ENGLISH OFFICER
Dead or Made Prisoner by Indian
Tribesmen


CALCUTTA, Dec 3O-Col. Sawyer
commanding the British forces at For,
Aim Musjid, telegraphs:
ION learning that Sir Henry Have
lock-Allen had left his escort yesterday
and had not been seen since, search
was organized. He rode restless horse
and might have been thrown near the
camp. The affair. however, resulted in
finding the horse stripped and shot, with
Sir Henry missing. 1t is feared that he
is dead or prisoner in the hands of the
Zakk-Hols. The search is being con-
tinued."
Sir Henry Havelock- Allen is the COM
mander of the Royal Irish regiment
and left England recently to investigate
charges of cowardice and insubordina-
ton brought against the regiment. He
was born in Bengal, in 1880. His father
was the celebrated general, Sir Henry
Havelock, the hero of Cawnpore and
Lucknow, during the Indian mutiny.
He is the first baronet, though the
baronetcy was conferred on his father
who died before receiving 1t. He served
in the Persian expedition, 1861, and
was with his father in the campaign
against the rebels in Dude. In 1880 he
assumed, by royal license, the additional
surname Of Allen. From 1874 to 1881 lie
sat as a member Of parliament for Sun
derland, but resigned the seat to assume
the command Of brigade at Aldershot
In 1895 he was elected member for Dur
ham. He married Lady Alice Morton,
daughter Of the Earl of Ducc.

THE FUSION FIGURES
NOT VERY PLEASING TO THE
HANNA FACTION
The Entire Democratic Vote Of the
Ohio Legislature Required to
Defeat the Senator

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 30.-This has
been a day Of conferences with the anti
Hanna Republicans, and from the best
information obtainable the results have
| not been altogether encouraging. al
though the claims of the faction have
not been modified in the least. These
conferences have been with the leaders
! of the Democracy, who are in favor of
fusion with the anti-Hanna Republicans
to defeat Hanna. The central figures
have been Charles I. Kurtz, leader Of the
anti Hanna Republicans, and Allen 0.
Meyers, who is endeavoring to bring the
Democratic members-elect of the legis-
lature into line for the proposed fusion.
At these conferences, which began this
morning and continued into the night,
the Democrats were asked to state just
how many of their members could be
counted upon in the fusion. 1t is UNDER
stood that seven Democratic members
refused positively to vote for any one
except Democrat for United States
senator. not even a free silver Repub-
lican. 1t Is also understood that the
number of Democrats who will oppose
fusion may be increased to ten or fif-
teen.
1t developed that almost the entire
Democratic vote of the legislature will
be required on fusion to defeat Hanna
and the Democratic leaders are not will
! ing to enter into any arrangement which
may fail of success.
| Major Dick, who has charge of Sena-
tor Hanna's personal interests, was feel
Ing very confident today that the pro-
posed fusion arrangement would be
broken. Sentiment among the Repub-
licans of the state is rapidly crystallizing
under the vigorous assaults of the Re-
publican newspapers on Mr.. Kurtz and
the anti-Hanna movement.
| 1t is claimed that if the anti-Hanna
Republicans force a deadlock, it will
bring more people to the capital city
than have ever been here before. The
supporters of Mr.. Hanna do not admit
that any Republican will vote against
him, and it is significant that none Of
the members claimed to be opposed to
Mr. Hanna have said publicly that they
will not vote for him.
| A breeze was created today by state
ment in an evening paper that Mr.. Kurtz
| lieutenants claimed to have a written
| pledge from Representative Snyder of
Greene county that he would not support
Mr. Hanna Mr.. Snyder publicly de-
clared last night that he would support
Senator Hanna, and today a delegation
of Governor Bushnells appointees at the
Xenia Home for Soldiers and Sailors
Orphans, which is located in Mr. Sny-
der's home county, arrived in the city
and at once began to importune him to
change his mind. Mr.. Snyder was great
| ly incensed at this interference, which
| he considered came from an unwarrant-
ed source, and promptly resented it.

in concise form the wonderful oppor-
tunity for trade extension In China, the
undeveloped mineral resources of the
country and the progress already made

able rivals of the English in China. The
consul says that, while the great ma
tions of Europe are grasp,hg for Chinese
territory. 1t is probable that the most
desirable conquests may be achieved by
peaceful methods. Civilized nations
have equal interests in opening the trade
of China to the world and the powers that
attempt to accomplish it by war and
conquest do no more than strengthen
the Chinese wall.

promise to get the young man clear OF
the grand larceny charge against him.
Yesterday morning VIII Emmett rs-
ceived a telephone message from his
mother at Saticoy, near Ventura, to the
following effect:
Sparks has been at my place since
Sunday evening, and he said that he saw
Webb Sunday morning. after he saw
father, and that Webb gave him $215
and told him to write letter to the JUS
tice of the peace, generating the boys,
and then get out of the country. Johns
nearly scared to death, and said he
thought he was doing right"
Three hundred and fifteen dollars was
the amount of money stolen from
Sparks, and If he only received $215 back,
the statement made in Feexell's note
that Webb had got 800 was undoubtedly
correct.

to look up Sparks and send him down
here. A reply was received later that
Sparks could not be found.
There is another matter connected
with the Feezell case which would seem
to need calculation on the part Of Mar
shall Dexter. At the time that Feexelrs
effects were removed Immediately after
his arrest negotiable note given by
Emmett for 500 was taken. In his ac-
counting at the county Jail for Feezelfs
effects nothing was said about this
note. Wednesday morning Feezell gave
Attorney Morgan an order on Marshal
Dexter for the note. 1t seems little
strange that no mention was made Of
this note when the prisoner was turned
over to the county officers.

The Navy Department does not expect
the Marietta to leave Mare Island until

only recently from Sitka, Alaska, and
her passage was marked by two cyclones,

also have to be coaled. The distance to
La Libertad is about $500 miles, and it
will be covered by the gunboat in two

The Consul had before him some of the
conclusions reached by the French Com

France from China, where it had been
sent to discover means of extending
French trade. Because the results of q
former commission, through publication
had been of more value to British manu-

Today's action of the market and the

there is no December shortage now out

review Of the events Of the year this
morning, after saying it is disagreeable
to be obliged to record the failure of the
long efforts of Lord Salisbury and Mr..
Cleveland to bring about an arbitration
treaty, observes:
Americas international history may
be summed up in three things: The pas
sage of the Dingley tariff bill, the tri-
umph Of Tammany hall and the steady
growth of the desire for a strong navy.
The latter agitation finds its excuse in
Cuba and Hawaii, but the more serious
advocates of the new policy make no
secret that it is against England, and
not Spain or Japan, that the main
effort is to be directed"
