HE is NOT LEE WELLER.
One of Murderer Buffers Assertions
shown TO He Untrue.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 6.-Murderer
Frank Butler alias Richard Ashe. has no
claim TO the title Lee Weller, as has been
shown by Edwin Eliot, an intimate friend
of Weller. Eliot. after a visit at the city
prison, says that Butler bears not the
slightest resemblance to the dead captain.
Eliot is engineer of the Australian steamer
Monowai. Captain Petrie. of the ship Oil
YER Bank, also visited the prison with the
intention of identifying Butler as Richard
Ashe. who had shipped with him as an
able seaman in 1893 The Australian detec-
tives now in the city TO take Butler back
for trial are jubilant over an alleged con-
fession made by Butler 10 Detective Con-
roy Butler IL is Said told Conroy that
AZ least two men beside himself had init
mate knowledge of Weller's movements
and mysterious death. He said that, al
though he was really innocent, the muir
derers had forced him to accept that part
of the dead Weller's belongings afterwards
found among Buffers effects. Butler told
Conroy if the police would aid him TO cap
ture the two alleged murdererS of Weller
he (ButleD would turn queens evidence
against them when the case comes TO trial.
The police are confident that Butler Will
make important disclosures in a few days,
believing that he is weakening under con-
finement when confronted with the weight
of evidence against him.

LONDON. Feb. 7.-Advices from the ISL
and of Crete say quiet has been restored
at Canea, where, on Friday. the MussuI-
mans burned most of the Christian quarter
Of the city. An official statement says only
thirty persons were killed there during the
rfoting. An unofficial dispatch received by
the Vienna Neue Freie Press from Athens
says the whole Christian population of one
Cretan village, consisting of 15O0 souls.
We're massacred by the Mussulmans. Over
four thousand refugees from the Island of
Crete have been landed on the Island OF
Milo and many more taken TO the Island
OF syria. Marines from the Italian cruiser
Etna assisted in restoring order at Canea
and assisted the refugees in leaving the
city. Most of the remaining Christians and
the archives of the consulates have been
placed on board the war ships. Strong pa
trolls of blue Jackets and marines are on
duty in the streets of Canea.
The Grecian war ship Alphoes has been
ordered to Crete. royal yacht has also
been sent TO deport refugees. Enthusiastic
agitation over the union of Crete and
Greece is reported from every town and
village in Greece. The national leagues
everywhere are urging that the Cretans
Immediately proclaim a union with Greece.

japanese Envoy Says Our Merchants
Can Secure More Oriental Trade.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 6.-Mr. Toru Hoshi. en-
tiary of his Majesty the Emperor of Japan,
arrived in the city at 900 tonight and was
driven TO the Planters Hotel. He is travel
ing without retinue. The minister is max
ing tour OF the United States for the pur
pose of satisfying himself on the condition
of trade in this country. He has been on
this tour about two weeks. In that time
he has visited Toronto, Canada, New Or
leans and other Southern points, coming
here direct from Galveston Tex. To a
reporter the Japanese minister said: MY
trip South was to look into the cotton
trade My country uses great amount
OF cotton. and it seems to me that we
might be able to trade with the United
states In this and many other commodities.
L believe that at present the United States
exports TO Japan about s10.000,00O worth Of
merchandise annually, while Japan sends
to the United States about S30.0O0.000 worth
of material annually. This unequal division
OF trade might be remedied. England
sends over more of her material to Japan
than Japan sends TO the United States, and
buys less from Japan than this country
does. The United States is nearer Japan
than England. and believe that If better
facilities of transportation could be secured
we would have u more equal division of
trade between Japan and the United States.
We arc needing lots of iron in Japan be-
cause or our contemplated railroad extern
sion. From what L have gathered thus far
L think the United States will yet be able

Correspondent ScOvel, Daring
OhiOan. Captured by Spaniards.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-Consul General
Lee to-day telegraphed the State Depart
ment from Havana follows: Sylvester
Scovel World correspondent, was arrested
yesterday at Tunas, Santa Clara province"
Young Scove is a son of President Scovel
of Wooster (O.) University, and a nephew
of Charles Allung, of Madison, Ind. He
went to Cuba originally to drill Insurgents.
Sylvester Scovel is the only New York
newspaper correspondent who has been for
any length of time with the Cuban army in
the field. He has had considerable success
in eluding the vigilance of the Spanish
troops and getting his dispatches out OF
Cuba. He is well educated and all
around athlete, man of splendid physical
proportions, an expert horseman and a good
swordsman. Scovel was manager of the
Cleveland Athletic Club when the Cuban
rebellion broke out. In a spirit of adven-
ture he determined to join the patriots, and
in October, 1895, he left Cleveland for Cuba.
He was on Maceos staff, and was intrust-
ed by the latter TO carry important dis
correspondent of several newspapers in the
United States. Two or three times he bold
ly left the Cuban army and entered Ha-
vana, and finally caused suspicious to be
directed against him by the Spaniards.
Some months ago, it is alleged, General
Weyier offered $4,000 reward for the cap
ture of Scovel.

many sarcastic remarks. the conductor
signed his name to the piece of paper hand
ed him by the passenger. The receipt was
worded as follows: Received. five cents
for fare from passenger riding from Forti-
eth to Third street. On being asked why
he wanted a receipt. the man said he was
getting tired quarreling with absent-mind-
ed conductors. who frequently asked for
the necessary nickel after il had been paid
He also said that a few nights ago he had
to get two passengers to prove that he had
paid his fare As the man always
placed in an embarrassing position on such
occasions, he adopted the receipt method in
order 10 avoid further trouble in the future
