SHAFTER MADE PLANS
To Show Sampson the Way Into
Santiago

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S-The Times says:
The dispatch from Washington, which
brought to light one sent by Adjutant- Gen
eral Corbin to General Shafter soon after
the battle of Ell Caney, calling forth plan
for the entering of Santiago harbor with an
armed transport, is confirmed by General
Shafter.
The plan was to take transport to do
the work. The armor depended upon to
shield the vitals of this engine of destruction
from the effect of Spanish shells was to be
baled hay. General Shafter was instructed
to secure a competent pilot and attach an
anchor to tow line and, if possible, g1apple
the torpedo cable and call for volunteers
from the army and then run into the harbor,
thus making way for navy
General Shafter said last night: eyes,
the cablegram was received by me on July
4, and took immediate steps toward carry
ing out the project l instructed my chief
ouartermaster to look over the list of trans
ports with view of selecting vessel suit
able to do the work. l also arranged with
competent pilot, Captain Faircloth, to
undertake the job of steering the vessel
through the channel, and even went so far
as to settle upon the price he was to be paid
for his services. But before any other move
ment in the matter was decided upon, be-
came convinced that the Spaniards would
surrender in a day or two, and / thought it
unnecessary to make what regarded then
as very hazardous attempt to put YES
sci through the channel. Had 1 not felt
sure at the time that the Spanish army
would surrender within day or two,
would certainly have carried out the scheme
prepared by Adjutant General Corbin."

coRBETT's EXCUSE
A Long Time Coming Considering the
Quality

CHICAGO, Dec 2s-Was it lame ankle
that was responsible for Corbett's poor
showing in his late fight with Sharkey?
The possibility Of such thing is suggested
at this late day by Dan A. Stuart, the noted
promoter of the Corbett-Fi -Fitzsimmons and
Fitzsimmons-Maher fights.
Mr.. Stuart, who is on his way to Hot
Springs, stopped off in Chicago for few
hours, Speaking Of the Corbett-Skarkey
about it that never could understand and
want to know, and that is why Corbett
mixed it up with Sharkey. Those who knew
the style Of the two men expected Corbett
to keep away from him, But instead of bring
ing his activity into play, Corbett changed
his methods and went at his man. He never
backstepped once during the fight. And so |
asked Jim about it after the contest. He SAID
that in the second round he was attempting
little funny business, got too close to Shar.
key and came near being knocked out He
failed to get his face out of Sharkey's way
by about half an inch, and the blow, which
was partly glancing, knocked Corbett down
and stunned him good deal. When Cor
bett got up he found his ankle was badly
sprained. 1t put him at great disadvantage
in the rest of the fight. Corbett never said

A THREAD COMBINE
Which Will Control the Business in
America

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The great thread
manufacturing companies which practically
control the business of the country, are
about to combine. These concerns are Geo
A. Kerck & Brother, Newark, N. j.; the
Clark Mile End Spool Cotton Company,
with a factory in Newark, and the Coates
Thread Company, with factory at Paw
tucket, r. l.
In circular to the trade these three firms
announce that after January lst, their sepa-
rate selling offices in New York will be
abandoned and their business vii be han
died by the Spool Cotton Company, at 445
Broadway. The latter company has just
been Incorporated under the laws of New
jersey.
All of these concerns were originally Eng
lish and have still English connections but
their American business it is said, is larger
than that in the parent country. Their fac
tories here were established to avoid the
heavy tariff on their product
1t is stated that the American factories
will be run independently and that the con
solidation of selling agencies does not i'm
ply that a trust has been formed.
The Clark Mile End Spool Cotton Com
pany. is capitalized at S2,000,000. The capital
of the Others is not recorded, but it is
known that it is much in excess of this
amount.

PENDING QUESTIONS
Are Briefly Referred to by Colonel
Bryan

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 2s.-W. J. Bryan ar
rived in Omaha today from Chicago. He
called on friends in the city during the
morning and this afternoon left for Lin
coin.
When asked if he thought the question of
imperialism would overshadow the money is
sue in the campaign of 1900, Mr.. Bryan
said it was difficult at this time to tell what
relation these subjects would bear to each
other then. He thought if Congress would
adopt resolution pledging this govern
mcnt to hold the Philippines only as a
trust for their people, as we do Cuba, until
a stable government is established, the ex-
pansion issue would be at an end. If, how
ever, the question is not settled in some
such way as this, he said it would continue
to be matter of discussion until it was
disposed of, and would therefore remain one
of the issues before the people.
With Porto Rico, Mr.. Bryan said the sit
uation could be simpiified easily. He be-
lieves the people of the island should first
be permitted to vote whether they desired
annexation to this country or the formation
of an independent republic.

The CITY DRAY HORSE
GIVEN A PUSH TOWARD THE
SOAP FACTORY
Automotor Trucks Run by Compressed
Air to Displace Horses on New
York Streets

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-The Herald says:
The New York AutoTruck Company, with
a capital of $l,000000, has been incorpor-
ated. With this capital, it is proposed to
place auto-trucks, operated by compressed
air, in the streets of the city.
AT present the only persons whose names
are made public in connection with this
scheme are James II. Hoadley and Henry f.
Knight. Mr.. Hoadley is president of the
Hoadley and Mr.. Knight combined their in
terests in compressed air motors some years
ago, and William c. Whitney became in
terested in their company
Their motors have recently been adopted
by the Metropolitan Traction Company, for
use on the Twenty eighth and Twenty.
ninth-street cross town lines and will soon
be in operation Joseph Letter recently ac-
quired controlling interest in the foreign
rights of the Hoadley Knight patents In
an interview, Mr.. Letter sopke guardedly OF
his plans for placing automobiles in Lon
don and other foreign cities, but said that
1t was merely matter of time when all
great cities would be compelled to adopt
some form of motor in place of horses.
Mr.. Hoadley declined to state whether
the capitalists back of the the New York
Auto,Iruck Company were MIR. Letter and
Mr.. Whitney, or tell who they were. He
was not yet completed, and until it is the
names of directors would not be made pub
lie. OF the plans of the company he also
spoke guardedly.
1--WE have built auto-trucks," he said,
'and used them at our works in Massachu
setts. We can handle load of eight tons,
twenty-five miles, without replenishing the
air. 1t is easier for our trucks to move
eight tons than for three horses to haul six
tons in an ordinary street. On wet asphalt,
horses are almost helpless, and with the
substitution of asphalt for paving stones the
horse must go.
From a sanitary standpoint, and in the
matter of cleanliness it would make a
great difference in the city if the l50, eco 20
100000 horses in its streets were done away
with. Our trucks will take up less room
and will move much faster than an ordinary
team and they are under such perfect con-
troll that there is less dhnger to life and
limb than with horses
electricity cannot be used for trucks
designed to carry heavy loads, owing to the
weight of the storage batteries that would
be required. 1t does very well for cabs and
light delivery wagons, but trucking is an
other matter. If we had our trucks in the
city when that last snowstorm fell we could
have removed it in seventy-two hours at the
outside"
| An attempt is to be made to absorb the
principal trucking interests in the city and
to gradually replace horse drays with auto
trucks, without antagonizing the present
owners. The plan proposed is similar to
that followed i'll organizing trusts. Separate
| interests are to be purchased and truck driv-
ers to become motormen. If this plan does
not work there will be fight between the
old methods and the new.

ANTI-ANARCHISTS
Insist on Secret Proceedings-Civil-
lied People Object


NEW YORK, Dec. pa dispatch to the
World from Rome says:
Ihe World correspondent has secured the
result of the anti-anarchistic conference re-
Gently held here, whose proceedings had pre-
viously been kept secret.
First-An international bureau of police
for the surveillance of anarchists to be es-
1tablished at Berlin, consisting of nine mem
bers, German, Austrian, French, English,
Italian, Russian, Swiss, Belgian and Dutch
This bureau will correspond directly with
all the police of Europe and will be repre-
sented in each country by special agents.
The states represented will contribute
equally to the maintenance of the bureau.
Second-European governments are to ne
gotiate for extradition treaties governing
anarchists
Anarchists are defined as all those whc
make public profession of the, anarchist
faith, who are found in possession of an
archistic publications, bombs and letters of
anarchstic character and all members of an
archist societies.
A person convicted of an anarchist crime
will be punished according to the law OF
the country in which the crime was COM
mitted
Anarchists journals are to be placed un-
der censure, their circulation interdicted,
their editors, printers and distributors pro-
ceeded against as anarchists.
All proceedings against anarchists are to
be conducted in secret.
These decisions are accepted by the dele
gates from Germany, Austria, Russia, Italy,
Turkey, Spain, Portugal: Sweden, Denmark,
Montenegro, Servia and Roumania, but Eng
land, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland,
Luxembourg and Greece rejected them.
1t is probable the ultimate result of the
conference will be the establishment of an
international police bureau.

AVERTED A PANIC
But the Christmas Presents Were All
Burned Up

PEORIA, ILL.,, Dec. 2s.-During the
Christmas exercises in the German Methp-
dist Church, at Pekin, ILL.,, the large tree
loaded with gifts and lighted by hundreds
of candles caught fire and bazed up fercely
The church was packed to the doors and
women screamed and several tainted when
the pastor, Rev. VIM. II. Traeger, COM
manded the audience to be seated. He said
the emergency of fire had been provided for
and there was no danger if every one kept
still.
Then he gave out a familiar hymn, di-
rected the organist to play up good and
strong and ordered the choir to sing loud.
His cool attitude restored confidence, and
the people began to sink back into their
seats.
Meanwhile, as the fire reared and cracked,
the music grew louder The pastor flicked
burning embers from the tree that alighted
upon his hymn book to the floor and step
ped upon them, at the same time singing at
the top Of his voice.
The fire brigade improvised for service in
case of fire, threw a heavy wet tarpaulin
over the tree and the fire was stamped out
Then, despite the fact that the church was
filled with smoke, the exercises proceeded,
minus the gifts, but with plenty of music

THE IOWA INJURED
The Vessel Ordered Into Port for
Repairs

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-It is stated that
the real reason for sending the battleship
Iowa from Callao to San Francisco instead
of having her accompany the Oregon and
distlling ship Iris, as originally intended,
is that the Iowa met with serious acci-
dent on her way down the Atlantic coast of
South America, when one of her steam cyl
inders burst. Although this happened be-
fore she got around the Horn, the fact was
of private letters from Washington a few
days ago. The news OF the accident was
promptly cabled to the Navy Department,
and orders were at once issued to Messrs.
Cramp to build new cylinder, which has
been shipped to San Francisco, where it is
to be put in place upon the arrival of the
Iowa there
