American interests in the Chinese
Imbroglio Must Be
Protected.
TREATIES WOULD Be WORTHLESS.
IfChina Should be Divided, American Interests
Would Suffsr-Where the
Danger Lies.

New York, Dec. 27-According to
the Washington correspondent of the
Herald, Senator Morgan of Alabama,
of the committee on foreign rela-
tions, said that it would be impossi-
BILE for the United States to remain
placent, should European nations
undertake the dIsmemberment of
China. Senator Morgan said: eff the
PARTITION involves the abrogation of
the treaties, this country will be left
to make terms again with each Euro
pean nation separately in the terri
tory to which its sovereignty is ex-
tended. Therefore, unless the DOW
ers, now ambitious for territorial ex-
tension, take into account the lmpor-
tance Of American commercial rela-
tions with China, it will be necessary
tor the government to intervene in
self defense.
eff the cession is absolute, then
American interests must be taken
care Of through treaties between
America and the countries to which
the absolute cessions are made, re-
spectlvely. If the territory is given
up merely for time, there will be a
mixed possibility, and it is good
time for Intervention and the wise ex-
ercise of American diplomacy. The
German occupation of part of China
and the prospective occupation of
other parts by various European ma
tions, is N effort to complete Gordon
OF offense to American commerce
from Vladivostock to Marseilles or
Liverpool. That Gordon is being
stretched to contract the trade of 6OO.-
100000 people, who ha@e direct trade
and Intercourse with the Pacific
ocean. There is a great deal in She
Chinese problem that vltally inter-
ests Americans, and which demand
immediate consideration from the
state department and congress-"

Fragments of a Human Body
Found on the Five Mile
Canal Bridge,
TRACES OF A HORRIBLE CRIME.
Human Intestines and Clotted Blood Stain
the Timbers Investigation Now
in Progress,

What may develop into a murder
mystery, similar to the famous Guild
ensuppe case in New York, is now the
subject of close Investigation by resi-
dents of the county in the vicinity of
the six. mile crossing,
Parties coming into the city late
yesterday afternoon were startled by
the discovery, on the little bridge that
spans the canal five miles from town,
fragments of human remains, bathed
in clotted blood, giving unmistakable
evidence Of foul murder.
The fragments CONSISTED of portions
of the intestines and stomach of a hu-
man being, particles of undigested
food, evidently from the stomach,
large clots of blood, and her sugges-
tions of horrible butchery.
On the bridge there were signs of
the dragging OF a heavy body to the
edge of the bridge, where it had prob
ably been dropped in the waters of the
canal below.
The discovery was made by Mr.. Gus
Turner, who was on the way to the
city. Superintendent Lyles, of the
county convict camps, also came up,
and made an investigation.
The tide was high in the canal, and
without material 1t was impossible to
drag for the body. This will be done,
however, this morning.
Mr.. Turner noticed that his dogs,
which were with him, would not
touch the blood. It is a well known
fact that dogs will drink the blood of
animals, but not of human beings.
This fact confirms the evidence that
the remains were those of a human
being.
The scene of the discovery is Pc
culiarly fitted for the execution of a
fi9ndish crime such as the one to
which these traces undoubtedly point.
Near there, stands the tree on which
were lynched the two negroes in 1892.
Crimes have b4en committed in the
vicinity often, in the old days when
people we're few ard settlements far
between.
AS yet, no solution OF the m stery
oan be obtained, except that some one
was undoubtedly butchered. The
dragging of the canal this morning
will disclose whether or not the body
was thrown into the water, or whether
the perpetrat0r of the crime made
other disposition of the remains. The
officers Will 90 to the scene today,
and make rigid search OF the sur
roundings.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1S.-A dispatch to
the World from Paris says: Paris is in

impatience.

VELASQUEZ' CONFESSION
Attempts to Justify the Murder O
ArrovO

MEXICO CITY, Mex, Nov. 1S.-A
profound sensation was caused in the
course of the trial of the police officials
charged with the murder of Arroyo by
the production of the confession of the
late inspector general of police, Velas-
queZ. 1t is most remarkable attempt
at justification and falsely states
that mob of the common people
lynched Arroyo.
Velasquez said that no direct orders
for Arroyo's killing were given, but that
the populace, already strongly wrought
up by the assault upon the prisoner,
were urged by suggestions to commit
the deed. Said he:
Il thought l was doing right in organ
izing a popular manifestation to avenge
an attack on the president and thus
give birth in the people to profound
conviction that punishment for such an
act would come swiftly in the form of
lynching, or whatever it may be styled"
He then went on to show that others
besides himself thought summary ven
geance should be dealt to Arroyo.
This confession in the light of VEN
geance is seen to be full of msstate-
ments and in no case would it have pre-
vented velasquez's prosecution. for the
