POWERS WARNING.
United States and Spain Must
Act With CircumspectiOn.

Berlin, April 23-There has been lively
exchange of notes in regard to the pro-
posed concerted action upon the part of
some of the powers for the protection of
neutral flags. 1t is understood that Ger
many, France, Austria and Italy have
about agreed to send a strong note to
both the United States and Spain warn
ing the INTO exercise the greatest caution
in dealing with neutral shipping, adding
that otherwise full reparation will be in
sisted upon. These powers also intend to
send vessels to the seat of war to observe
the naval and other operations. Germany
will probably send the Koenig Wilhelm.
Great Britain and Russia are still hang
ing back.
The German government is strongly in
censed at the sale of the Hamburg-Amer-
lean liners Normannia and Columbia to a
Spanish company,as the vessels were aux
iliary cruisers, and therefore the consent
of the government of Germany, which was
not obtained was necessary for the sale.

DEATH OF p. G. NOEL.
Passes Away at 12:45 O'Clock Today
at His Home.

Mr. P. G. Noel died today at 12:45
o'clock at his residence at ia Harrison
street For two days past he has been
somewhat worse, but was able to be
about, and yesterday was down town in
his carriage Today at 1890 o'clock he
was in the front room on the first floor
of his home conversing with DR.. G. A.
Mcclure. Mr.. Noel decided to go up
stairs to lie down. He started for the
stairs in the hall, but was seized with
faintness and sank to the floor. DR..
Mcclure and the trained nurse assisted
Mr.. Noel to his easy chair in the sit
ting room He rapidly sank, and all
efforts to revive him failed. His life
passed out rapidly but peacefully. Mrs.

and his life was despaired of. But on
account of his great vitality he rallied,
and since has been able to attend to
business affairs.
He came to Topeka about IS years
ago from Fort Scott, Kansas. He en-
gagged in the drygoods business with
of the Topeka Mill and Elevator com
pany He had interests in the First
National bank of Topeka, and January
II. 1885, he was elected president of the

THE OREGON is SAFE.
Naval Authorities Know Where

Washington, April 23.-The navy de-
partment is fully aware of the where

reasons, the officials positively decline
to say where the vessels are, whether or
not they have been ordered to return
to San Francisco, or, in fact, to make

IE. N. MORRILL, IN TOPEKA.
The Ex-Governor Thinks the War

Ex-Governor E. N. Morrill, is in Tope-
ka today on business.
Some people seem to think" said
he, that this war will last only a
month or two and some even say that
it will not last more than two weeks
but 1 would be surprised if it does not
last more than II months. 1t is not
such a small affair as many people seem
to think
Governor Morrill, appears to take very
little interest in politics. He was ask

the Republican state convention and
said: Il would not even venture a

HOT PURSUIT.
Spanish Cruiser Gives Chase to
the Paris,

Falmouth, Eng, April 23.-The Amer
ican line steamer Paris, Capt. Watkins.
chartered by the United States govern
ment, which left Southampton yester-
day afternoon, passing Hurst Castle at
3:35 p. M, passed the Lizard yesterday
evening.
She has on board $50 passengers and
her cargo includes a number of guns
and a quantity of ammunition intended
for the United States government.
Spanish cruisers are trying to inter-
cept her. She should now be well on her
way westward.
London, April ga report was in
circulation today that the American
liner Paris, chartered by the United
States, which sailed from Southampton
yesterday afternoon for New York, had
been captured by the Spaniards. A sec
ond report said that the Paris was re-
turning to Southampton. Both reports
are discredited.
The first rumor appears to have aris-
en- from the fact that the captain of the
Paris was warned to run for the near
est port in case of danger. The second
rumor, it is pointed out, that the Paris
passed the Lizard at Has o'clock last
night.
LATER-London, April 23.-The ev-
ening newspapers have dispatches say
ing the Paris has been captured off the
Irish coast.
Philadelphia, April 23.-The fear for
the safety of the steamship Paris, ex-
pressed in some quarters is not shared
by the officers of the International
Navigation company, Clement A. Girls
com, Jr., one of the managers of the
American line laughed at the idea of
the capture of the Paris. There is not
a vessel in the Spanish navy which can
steam within two knots of the Paris,''
he said IF the day is clear a vessel
can be sighted 20 miles away. If there
is any doubt of the vessels nationality
it is hardly likely that the Paris will
try to make it out. OF course careful
outlook will be kept for Spanish YES
sells, but we don't expect any will be
sighted which will give her any trou-
BILE.
London, April 23.-It is believed here
that the teIegraphic reports from Bel
fast referring to the rumored capture
of the American Liner Paris by a
Spanish cruiser, or torpedo boat, are
simply repetitions of the report of yes
terday evening which have since been
found to be untrue.

MAKES A BIG FUSS.
Capture of the Buena Ventura
Stirs Up Trouble.

Liverpool, April 23.-Larringa & Co., the
owners of the Spanish steamer Buena
Ventura, captured yesterday off Key
West by the United States cruiser Nash
VILE, have issued a signed protest against
her capture They say the cargo of the
steamer belongs to British merchants and
was insured in Great Britain. They add
that the steamer left Ship island on April
IA so her captain was not aware of the
outbreak of war
Finally the owners of the Buena Ven
tura claim the capture was illegal, as
there has been no formal declaration of
war and the uItimatum of President Nc
Kinley to Spain had not expired when
the steamer was seized
Madrid, April 23.-The capture of the
Spanish steamer Buena Ventura by the
United States gunboat Nashville off Key
West, has aroused the greatest indigna-
ton. the SpaniardS claiming that hoStili-
ties are not yet supposed to have been
begun. The newspapers of the city char
acterize the seizure of the ship as an act
of piracy and being in defiance of the in
ternationa1 law, characteristic of the

seen at various points of vantage, many
of them gathering on the roofs or
houses.
At D. m. the semaphore signalled
that it was the United States fleet
which was in sight, and at 6:15 p. m a
red flag was run up at the slgnal sta
tion, warning guns were fired from MO-
ro Castle and afterwards from CabanaS
fortress adjoining it. This caused ex-
citement throughout the city and was
the first real note of war. When the
first signal came from the Semaphore
station, a British schooner which was
in the harbor put to sea. She was i'm
mediately followed by the German
steamer Remus. Some time afterward
the American steamer Saratoga put 10

The cannon shots from the fortress
stirred up the regular troops and volun-
teers throughout Havana and its vlcin-
ity and there was a rush to quarters
The signal guns from the fortlhca-
tions echoed to the palace and through
out the streets, causing people to ruSh

SIMPSON STILL ALIVE.

Jerry Simpson says: 81 have not quit
politics, by any means. 1 am still
alive. His last statement being true
the first should follow, as a matter Of
course.
Populism may pass, candidates may
go down to defeat, but Jerry win never
quit politics while he lives. He is a
natural product Of the Kansas political
field. Many affect to look upon him
as a clown, a sort of congressional
comedian; but Jerry Simpson is pos
sessed of a great deal Of good horse
sense, and represented fairly well the
element that receives but little recog-
milton, and scures but little representa-
ton, in national legislation.
He was witty in his way, good
humored, but aggressive in debate to
the point of indiscretion. Men were
accustomed to treat him as a joke, and
he seemed sometimes to share that
opinion of himself.
1t goes without saying that he will
be missed more than any other mem
