 Can hr Offered AmerfcnMs


 Washington, April 21.--In report to the secretary of war Victor s. Clark, sub-director of public instructions in Porto Rico, says that only $50 a month can be offered to American teachers with Transportation to the island from New York. The English speaking su- them it is hoped to weed out abuses and develope a system of control As understood in this country there is no system of higher education in Porto Rico No school on the island affords adequate preparation for American col lege work. There are normal institutes for boys and girls. The public schools are kept open twelve months in the year, and six days in the week. In summer only morning sessions are held. There is no o-education of the sexes. No school houses exist on the island, the schools usually being held at the residences of the teachers. Only d part of the pupils have text books. Tn many cases the pupils take to the schools the chairs which they occupy. The pupils study aloud. About 525 schools are reported on the island, and little over $300,000 is annually paid for their support. A great desire is mani- fested to learn English. New text books are being published in this coun- try to replace the Spanish books now in use. A pedagogical museum and American library has been established at San Juan.

COLLEGE CHESS TOURNAMENT.
Americans Can Hope for no More Than
 a Draw in First Game.

New York, April 21,-This morning six students representing Columbia, Harvard, Yale and Princeton universi- ties began a cable chess match on six boards against six men from OXtord and Cambridge universities. The Amer jeans played at the Knickerbocker Ath- letic club in this city and the British students at the British Chess club, Lon don. At the conclusion of to-day's play it was evident that the Americans could hope for no more than to draw the fight The chances of victory were very rosy in the afternoon, but unfort- unately two men threw away winning chances by relaxing in attention to their positions.
 At the first table Fake of Columbia and Tattersal played a regular varia- tion of the Ruy Lopez, which did not produce any striking features in the opening. Eventually, however, the Co., lumbia player allowed his opponent to develt a strong attack, and after an excha ige of queens it seemed to favor the E .'itish student The second board developed a K-B gambit between Mey- CT of Columbia and George of Oxford. The Englishman did not show very good judgment in the opening and the Amer ican gained decided advantage, which he pushed to victory, the only game scored in the match.
 At the third table Arensberg of Har- ward gained a good attack against Me- Lean of Cambridge at the cost of doubled pawn on the K-KT file. Arens- berg erred by advancing his pawns and compromised his position. He had chance to even matters, but overlooked it, and at the adjournment it did not look satisfactory for Arensberg. At the fourth table Cook of Yale was at a slight disadvantage in the forepart of his game with Hullbert of Oxford, but managed to even the position. It was a Petroff defense. At the adjournment it looked like a draw, although some thought that Cook could win. The fifth table found an irregular opening with Young of Princeton against Ellis of Oxford. The British player was taken i'll during the game and the American umpire cabled that time had been al- lowed him, which was assented to by Young. At the adjournment it looked as though the American could win. At the sixth board Catchings of Harvard played a Petroff against Softlaw of Cambridge. The American outplayed his opponent in the first part of the game and won knight for two pawns. He did not follow up his advantage properly and at adjournment his posi- tion was not promising. Play will be resumed tomorrow morning.

SOME GERMAN PROPOSALS.
Made During tho War America Said
 They Were Premature.

London, April 22.-The Daily Chroni- cle says: "We are informed that dur ing the Hispano-American war, Ger many proposed to the United States the cession of a coaling station in the Phil ippines in the event of annexation to- gether with the exchange of commercial privileges The United States replied that the proposal was premature, espe- cially in view of the uncertainty as to the way the public would regard the request. Later Germany asked the United States not to annex the Caroline Islands, claiming the first right to them herself and renewing her request for a coaling station in the Philippines in eX- change for islands in the Marshall and Brown groups, east of the Carolines. The United States repeated that the re- quest was premature and the negotia- tons are still in abeyance.

 WOrk=EOmen Attrked.

|. Havana, April 21.-Two new cases of yellow fever developed in Havana to- day, making five officially reported There are no Americans among them, and 50 far as is known at the office of the chief surgeon there is only one American in Cuba with this fever a man named Biscomb, who had been working on a plantation near Pamillas, Matanzas province. He is a discharged private.
 Cnrlists at Work.

Yesterday one agent was openly offering $15 a month and a free passage to Spain as inducements to join the army of Don Carlos. La Geceta Carlista, Carlist organ, recently established here, de- scribes in its latest issue the muinfi- cence of Don Carlos and his desire to rebuild Spain, as well as to ''extermin- ate such men as Weyler"
 Gomez at Work.
 General Gomez is arranging to pub fish tomorrow a list of paymasters and assistants appointed at a meeting held this evening. He will say, in connection herewith that, owing to the necessity for the establishment of a peaceful re- public at the earliest possible date, the only troops needed are those of the in- tervening power with the assistance of the rural police In isolated districts. Therefore he will contend and instruct soldiers of the Cuban army that they must disband and deliver their arms to their officers, who will deposit them in a suitable receptacle or museum, where they will be guarded as relics of a glo- rious struggle. The men are then to go to work immediately. Officials close to Gomez say that if he were offered the presidency he would probably accept.
 Gomez Attacked.
 La Discussion attacks him to-day, saying that he is not representative of the army or the people, and that he was only elected by a few generals, who were forced to do so Ey the tyran- nica1 Americans. Several reports are in circulation, and have been cabled to the United States, regarding the af- front to Gomez yesterday while he was returning in a launch after saying fare- well to his two sons and daug llter, who sailed for Santo Domingo, but the exact facts are these: General Gomez was hissed by some people who were stand ing on the roof of house that over- looked the harbor. They waved Span ish flags, cried Long live Weyler" and Long live Spain" "Death to Gomez; death to the Americans" and Death to the Cubans." The passengers and sailors on board the Alfonso XIII re- peatcd the cries Even the papers that oppose Gomez denounce the proceedings as an outrage.
 Since January 1. 10000 Spanish citi- zens have left for Spain, the Alfonzo XIII taking 500 yesterday

 UChnrIey', Golf of California.


 New York, April 21.-One of the hard est and fastest fistic battles ever seen in a roped arena was witnessed to- night by the patrons of the Broadway Athletic club. Jimmy Handlers of New ark, a protege of Bob Fitzsimmons, and Dick O'Brien, of Lewiston, Me, were matched to fight twenty-five rounds at 153 pounds The match was made at catch weights, but Handler refused to go on when he say his adversary turn the scales at 161 pounds against his 1491a. Billy Madden substituted Char ley Golf, the California middleweight, and then Handler consented to go on. Bets were made at even money by the partisans of both contestants, each stripping in splendid condition.
 In the opening round O'Brien went all over his man, forcing the fighting. He landed two sharp rights which sent Handler to the floor twice. In the sec- ond round Handler outpointed the New Englander. In the third O'Brien sent
 
 he was up immediately and fierce slugging match ensued. The fourth round was in O'Bren's' favor. Hard fighting marked the fifth round, with Handler doing the better work. In the sixth good blows were exchanged. O'Bren went to his corner very weak. In the seventh they clashed together, and in the mix up Handler had the ad- vantage In the eighth Handler bore O'Brien to the ropes, but afterwards O'Biien forced Handler to the ropes. Both men were wild in the ninth, but in the next round Handler did the better work. Tn the eleventh round honors were even. In the twelfth round the fighting was brisk.

ALASKAN BOUNDARY DISPUTE. Little Progress in Negotiations for n
 Temporary MOdus yivendi.

Washington, April 21.-An uneXpect- ed delay has occurred in the negotia- tions towards an Alaskan boundary modus videndi, which makes the fu- ture of the negotiations quite problem atical. Extended conferences on the subject were held to-day, the result be- ing far from encouraging. The princi- pal difficulty arises from dealings with Ottawa as well as London, this dual negotiation causing great delay and complication. At the outset the United States proposed a modus vivendi with a temporary line along certain peaks The British ambassador forwarded this to London. The respective lines are sufficiently apart to make it quite un- likely that any immediate agreement can be reached.

SAMOAN ISLAND DIFFICULTY
THE ORDERING OF ANOTHER GER
 MIN WlRSHIP TO APIA.
News Received With Interest in Wnsh- ingtOn Though no Particular Im- pOrtance Is Attached to it-The Vessel Probably Sent to Offset the Naval Representation of Great Britain.

Washington, April 21-The report coming from Shanghai via London that another German war vessel has been or dered to Apia, Samoa, was received with interest by officials here, though no particular importance was attached by them to the report, opinion being expressed that the German government was simply making an addition to it's naval representation in Samoa so as to offset that of Great Britain-a step she had a right to take because of her large commercial interests there. From the German point of view the dispatch of another war vessel to Samoa would be entirely consistent with the mainten- ance of Germany's prestige in the isl- and group where her material interests are greater than those of other nations represented there These, 1t is claimed, have been endangered by recent happen ings to the prejudice of the country. Such an act, German diplomat said tonight, could not be construed as un- friendly to the interests of this govern ment nor a menace. Germany at this time has only one war vessel at Apla, while Great Britain has two and the United States one. The suggestion was made in German official circles some days ago that additional vessels might be sent to Apa. The report that an extra supply of ammunition would be embarged at Kiao Chou is suggested by this diplomat as probably a mali cinIs inNen tinn

Roise Election Wave Of Sp;r:tuaIism-Ih
Peace ConIcreECe--A nti-ExpansiOn
Dying Out.

While nothing sensational oc-
cured in Idaho during the past
week, the neighboring State of
Utah has enjoyed an incident
which is not only sensational for
the moment but likely to develop
a long train Of sensations in the
next few months. Ever since the
election of Apostle B. H. Rob
etts as a member of Congress,
the Mormon question has been
kept in continual foment. The
non-MormolS broadly asserting
that polygamy was being con-
SANITY practiced while the Nor
mon authorities and newspapers
strenuousIy denied it. Last Sat-
utday Mr.. c. M. Owen, civil
engineer and Welshman, enter
ed a complaint against Angus M.
Cannon, president of the Salt
Lake Stake of the Mormon
church, for unlawful cohabitation
with DR.. Matte Hughes Cannon,
senator in the Utah State legisla-
ture. The.complaint is based on
the fact that on April II, last, DR..
Cannon gave birth to girl baby
and designated Angus M. Can
non as its father. A doctors GER
tiicate of birth is of record. An
gus NJ. Cannon entered a plea
Of not guilty and was placed un-
der bonds. This is the first pro-
seCution for unlawful cohabitation
since 1895. DR.. Matte Hughes
Cannon was the plural wife of An
gus M, Cannon, but the two have
protested to live separately since
the manifesto in 1890. The doc
tor was a member of the Utah
legislature which enacted rigid
anti-polygamy laws. 1t is not
known whether other cases will
be prosecuted but it is likely there
may be.
The criticism of President
Mckinley for not pushing the war
in the Philippines is rapidly sub
siding as the public becomes bet
ter informed as to what the Pres
Ident is actually doing and the
nature of his plans. 1t is now
well known that nearly all of the
suffering and many of the deaths
among our soldiers were occa-
stoned by the inexperience of off
lcerS in the volunteer service
This trouble naturally resulted il
great part from the necessitie:
OF the situation. A great army
had to be raised and equipped il
a very short time and despite al
the precautions that could be taker
mistakes We're unavoidable. Tht
ullllculties were aggravated By
the methods adopted for differing
volunteer regiments, wherein
political pulls were more poten
In securing positions than fines
and experience. 1t should b
Oorne in mind that the sam
methods were pursued in the earl
stages of the civil war and tn
same unhappy results followed
resident Mckinley has deter
mined to put an end to State or
carnations in the army. 1t nov
develops that the work of enlistin
troops has been going on con
SANITY during the last two or tire
