MR. J. W. NILSSON, President Canon
City Chamber of Commerce, Canon
City, Colo.
DEAR SIR-Referring to the petit
ton of the fruitgrowers and business
people of Canon City in reference to
lower fruit and vegetable rates to
various points within the state, will
say that Mr.. Young, superintendent
of Wells, Fargo & Cos. express, and
myself have had several meetings In
regard to the same, and concluded
that we will reduce our rate to T5c.
per hundred on such shipments be-
tween Canon City and Denver, which
is the same as to Colorado Springs.
Our rate TO Denver has been 81 per
hundred. As stated before, our ex-
press rates, according to our contract
with the railroad companies, must be
a certain per cent above the freight
rates, which in this case it is not.
| can assure you that We are al
ways ready to assist our patrons in
every way possible in moving their
fruit and vegetable crops, and hoping
that our efforts will be appreciated, |
am Yours very truly,
D. D. MAYO,
Manager d. & r. g. EXPRESS Co.

Secretary of British Consulate at San
Juan Charged with Giving Infor-
nation to American Consul.

NEW YORK, June "a copyrighted
special from ST. Thomas Danish West
Indies. to the Evening Journal says: "Sus-
pected Of having furnished the United
States with information of the mining of
San Juan harbor, Walter Bett, secretary
OF the British consulate at that port has
received his passports and been hanished
from Porto Rico by order of Governor Gen.
eral Macias Mr. Bett was imprisoned in a
dungeon for fifty-six hours. and during that
time was subjected to gross maltreatment
British Consul General Crawford has made
formal protest to his government and
serious international complications are i'm
minent.
THE day after the bombardment of San
Juan by the ships of Admiral Sampson
General Macias caused an extensive system
of mines to be installed in the outer harbor
in anticipation of a return of the ships and
a subsequent bombardment. Although the
greatest care and secrecy was observed by
the Spanish in mining the harbor, the de-
tails of the work were conveyed to Consul
General Hanna. He is now making an ex-
tensive report of the operations to the Navy
Department. In some way General Macias
learned of this, and as the British consulate
has been guarding American interests at
San Juan since the withdrawal of Mr.. Han
ma, he at once suspected that Englishmen
had conveyed the news to the United States
official He peremptorily summoned thirty
British subjects before him and put them
through searching examination, after
which several of them were cast into prison
/ for twenty-four hours. Upon Secretary Bett
General Macias visited most of his wrath
The British official was practically accused
of having revealed the military prepara-
tons, and he was dragged off to a dungeon
There he was kept for fifty-sx hours ifl
face of the protests of Consul General
Crawford When he was released Mr.. Bett
was presented With his passports and Or
dered out of Porto Rico. He has left for
st. Thomas. The military plans of General
Macias were not disclosed to Mr.. Hanna
by British officials or subjects, but by
trusted officers attached to General
Macias's staff"
