LETTER MAY RUN A HOTEL.
Reported to Have Bought an Interest
in the Holland House.

New York, Sept. 24.-It is reported
that Joseph Letter and F. w. Rice have
secured an interest in the Holland
house, and that they will take an active
hand in the management of the hotel.
At the Holland house ignorance is pro-
fessed regarding the intentions of the
Chicago men to buy a share, or the de-
sire of the present owners to sell some
of their holdings. It is said in other
places, however, that the deal has prac-
tically been completed and that Messrs.
Letter and Rice will begin their new
duties in a short time.
1t has been rumored for some time
that Mrs. Angie Kinsley. the chief ow-
ner of the hotel was anxious to dis
pose of q part, at least, of her stock
Since the death of Mr. Kinsley Mr..
Baumann, too, it is said, has found the
duties of the management of the hotel
much more onerous than he cared to
continue. During Mr.. Kinsley's life
Mr.. Baumann did not feel the weight Of
the responsibility that has now fallen
upon him, and it is said he would be
glad to be relieved of part of the load.

GERMAN PLOTTING.
Is Alleged to Be Going on in
the Philippines.

San Francisco, Sept. 24.-The Even
ing Post prints an article in which it
makes known the plans of the Germans
in regard to the disposition of the Phil
ippines. 1t will be remembered that
some time ago the Post published an
exclusive article regarding the seizure
of the Ladrone islands by the United
States. The details of this plot on the
part of the government are furnished by
a gentleman high in the opinion of the
governments of both this country and
Germany. The same gentleman now
states that Germany is endeavoring to
embitter the followers of Aguinaldo
against the Americans and that she has
officers in their ranks, secretly drilling
them. The gentleman in question says
that this has been going on for years,
and prior to the interference of the
United States in the Philippine affairs,
almost every German vessel that land
ed there came one or more officers in
disguise and stacks of arms and ammu-
milton for the insurgents. The Posts
informant has just received a letter
from an authoritative source in Ham
burg giving the details of Germany's
future plan in regard to these islands.
The plan is as fOllowsE
Germany will send numerous trading
vessels to the islands and will arm $780,
900 Filipinos, besides furnishing Krupp
guns and artillery. for field use. The
islanders are thoroughly drilled by Ger
man officers, and by February Aguinal-
do will be prepared to make an on
slaught on the American forces. To
aid this plot, the letter says, Germany
is trying to induce China to purchase a
large number of big war vessels osten-
sibly to strengthen her navy, but really
to be held for transfer to Germany,
should complications arise. The Ger
man agents who have made a report to
their government say that it will be inn
possible for the United States to land
more than So 900 men in the Philippines
before q ready
coup. The German correspondent says
that Americas only hope is to disarm
the insurgents
of additional troops to Manila, after the
mastering out had been ordered, as an
Indication that the United States has

PEACE COMMISSION LANDS.
And is Invited to Function by Brit
ish Officials.

Liverpool, Sept. 24.-The United
States peace commissioners landed this
morning from the Cunard line steamer
Compania which reached her landing
stage before daylight. They are all in
good health and refreshed by the voy-
age for the work in store for them.
The physical betterment was most
marked in Judge Day, who said last
evening to Senator Davis: 81 am get
ting well accustomed to this sea travel
Nike it and could well enjoy another
week of it before going ashore"
This points to the fact that the chair
maR of the peace commission is a much
changed man for the better by the rest
of a week at sea, salt water baths and
the bracing air on the deck of the
steamer. His face is rudy and his eyes
are frightened by added vigor.
The commissioners were received by
the United States consul, Mr.. James
Boyle.
The mayor of Liverpool extended to
the commissioners an invitation to at
tend a function to be held this evening
in honor of the British Warships now
here The invitation, however, was de-
cIined, the commissioners deeming it
unwise to accept it.

KENTUCKY LIKES KANSANS
Lexington Herald's Handsome Com

The Lexington, Ky, Herald says. of
the TWenty-first Kansas: Another
splendid body of men and soldiers will
be lost when the Twenty-f1rst Kansas
departs. Gen. Sanger received an order
yesterday from the department to send
the Twenty-first to Leavenworth, Kan,
where they will be furloughed and af-
forwards mustered out.
although the men are happy over
the prospect of seeing home shortly
this order comes with jar. This regi-
ment was one that expected to remain
here, and had accordingly made all pre-
parations for spending the winter at
Camp Hamilton.
''The fact cannot be too strongly
emphasized that these men are all qui-
ct, gentlemanly soldiers. For all their
quietness however, they are good men
to let alone. While here they have upon
several occasions shown their ability
to take care of themselves. They have
further shown their ability to take care
of other people also. This fact has
been recognized by Capt. N. Gaines, as
he is always glad to get men from the
TWenty-first for provosguard duty"

gagements of gold in London for ship
today. The United States Mortgage
and Trust company of SO Cedar street

week. Most of it was taken from the
Bank of England yesterday. This is
the first time the United States Mort
gage and Trust company has ever i'm
ported gold. Today's importation was
said to be the result of purely exchange
transactions. The gold was ordered
through the company's agents in Lon
don, Glynn, Mills, Currier & Co., the
well known bankers.
Morton, Bliss & Co. also announced
today that they had engaged $500, 900
gold in London for shipment to this

minister bank. This is the first time
the Manhattan Trust company has i'm
ported any gold. At the company's
Office it was said that the importation
was a regular exchange transaction
and would not have been undertaken
for the profit there was in it.

up to 81 OOO 900. Foreign bankers said

ROUGH ROAD TO TRAVEL
Is Encountered by the Builders of
the Central American Republic


Correspondence of Associated Press)
Managua, Nicaragua, Sept. 24.-The
delegates who are daily holding meet
ings at this place for the purpose of de-
Gliding upon the articles of the consti-
tuition to be formulated for the propos-
ed United States of Central America
to be composed of the states of Saliva
dor, Honduras and Nicaragua, have
had several serious differences, the rep
resentatives of Nicaragua and HOndu-
raS voting in some instances SOidly,
or nearly so, in opposition to the views
of the delegates from Salvador. One
contention was in regard to the f1nan-
ces of the proposed federal government.
All the delegates conceded that the fed
eral government should control the Gus
toms house and collect the duty, but
the Salvador delegates declared that
one-half of the duties collected from
their states should be returned to Sal
vador because that country imported
as much, or more, than Nicaragua and
Honduras combined. The convention
voted against this however but the next
day as a disruption was evident from a
protest published in the newspapers by
the SalvadOran delegates the cOnven-
ton agreed in order to smooth matters
ed by the federal government through
the custom houses in each state should
be paid to that state. The Salvador
representatives are evidently not salts
fed with several articles that have been
adopted over their votes by the other
delegates.
The members of the convention have
declared themselves, at present the sole
and supreme opponents of the will of
the states and people of Salvador, Hon
duraS and Nicaragua and, therefore, ig-
more the diet of the greater republic
of Central America which they appoint
ed through the state governments, they
were not really elected as they assert,
and will not submit the constitution
nominally formulated for the states and
people, to the people for approval or
disapprOvaI.
Many critics Of the work of the con-
yenuon declare that when the presi-
dents Of the states are ordered by the
FEDERAL government, on it's organiza-
ton in compliance with the new consti-
tuition, to deliver to the federal govern
ment, the cannon, rifles and munitions
OF war and soldiers in the various
states there will be much opposition
and that some of the presidents will
delay or refuse altogether to comply
with the order and thus prevent the
esta bhshment of the United States of
central America. It is believed the
positions and even lives of some of the
presidents of the Central America coun-
tries depend solely upon the fact that
they vigilantly control personally or
through paid satellites, all the arms,
munitions of war and soldiers in their
respective states
