ALL CLASSES WANT DIAZ.
Foreign Residents of Mexico Urge
Him For the Presidency.

City of Mexico, Nov 23.-one of the
most notable political demonstrations
in the histor.- of Mexico occurred here
this afternoon, when the foreign resi-
dents of this and adjoining counties
marched in a procession up the thor
oughfare of San Francisco street TO
the national palace to urge President
DiaZ 10 accept the nomination for re-
election by the liberal party, whose
convention will assemble early in the
coming year.
No other country can show more
contented and prosperous body of out
landers, and the demonstration was
notable for it's spontaneous enthusiasm
and great numbers. several thousands
of F'renchmen, Germans, Americans
Englishmen, Belgians, Austrians and
Italians taking part. The American
contingent represented every mercan-
tile. banking. insurance and other in
terest. Most of the participants We're
men of high standing in this commun-
an enormous crowd OF Mexieans, who
rendered the foreigners a most cordial
and respectable treatment
General Diaz replied to his callers in
a brief but eloquent speech, in which
he deprecated the idea that a man of
his age should be selected to carry the
executive department for four years
more. He referred TO the high charac-
ter of the participants in this signifi
cant demonstration. and intimated that
he should listen. to the manifestation
of the peoples will as shown later on.

slant surprises. They have already cut
off two portions OF the Ladysmith re-
lieving force from their base of sup
plies, and with great rapidity are ad-
vancing on Pietermaritzburg with how
itzers and other artillery. General
Clery's situa ton, it would appear, must
be becoming intolerable, so serious
fighting may be expected, at any time,
as it's pointed ont the general must
clear his line of communication in or
der 20 complete the concentration of the
relieving force.
According 20 the latest reports from
Natal the artillery duel was recon-
menced this morning at MOOT river. The
statement that the British garrison
appears to be an admission of weak
ness, and it is thought the troops may
be at the mercy of the strong Boer
forces reported in that neighborhood. A
collision may also be expected on the
western frontier within forty-eight
hours, and if it is true that General Me-
tlluen has started northward he is GER
tain to meet entrenched Beers at Bel
mont and Modder river. 1t is reported

Funston took occasion to make definite
denial of the truth of recent stories re-

Lieutenant Callahan, a former officer
of the Twentieth Kansas, and others of
that regiment are credited with charS-
ing these officers with many sins of

charges against Metcalf and Bishop of
shooting defenseless Filipino prisoners.
But 1 am not through with this af-
fair yet" added the general, Il know
the charges against Metcalf and Bishop

intend to prove them SUCH"
General Funston's denials make in

dents in the Philippine campaign which

THE TREATY HAS BEEN SIGNED
FINAL PARTITION OF SAMOAN
ISLANDS DECIDED UPON.
Great Britain and Germany Renounce
ALI Claims to Tuitilla and Guilty
ing Islands.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Two treaties
for the final partition Of the Samoan
islands have been drawn and one of
them already has been signed. The
main treaty is trilateral in character
between the United States. Great
Britain and Germany, by which the
territorial arrangement of the islands
is fixed. 1t is quite brief. comprising
only four or five articles, the essential
features being that Great Britain and
Germany renounce all claims in the
island Tuitilla and the outlying islands
which go TO the United States and this
government and Great Britain re-
nounce interest in Cupulu and Savaii.
which go to Germany.
The present expectation is that this
treaty will be signed in Washington,
in which case Secretary Hay and Am
bassadors Pauncefote and Won Hole
ben will be the signatory parties. al
though it is still possible that the
executions of the document may occur
in London.
The second treaty is between Great
Britain and Germany, and is longer
than the first. covering the rights
in the Tonga and Solomon islands and
other settlements brought about by
the Samoan partition. The United
States does not sign this treaty, and is
only indifferently concerned.
II is understood that this collateral
treaty has already been executed in
Berlin and that the signing of the
trilateral treaty will bring to a close
the negotiations for the division of
the islands

WILL GO TO CHICAGO.
Dewey Will Spend the 1st of May
In That City.

Washington, Nov. Eyes, SAID
Admiral Dewey, with an appearance OF
intense satisfaction in his manner, to-
day, Il received today a telegram from
the mayor of Chicago, experimenting
the letter of the Dewey committee or
that city inviting me to visit there on
May ]. You may say in your dispatches
that all things being equal and barring
any unlocked for circumstances, snail
accept the invitation to visit the city on
May l. / have been thinking of some
place in which to spend the day, the
anniversary of the memorable day two
years ago, and / don't know OF any
more agreeable citv in which to spend
it than Chicago. The people here have
been very kind and pleasant to me, and
ever since the battle of Manila L have
been receiving evidences of their good
will ana affection. My hope therefore is
to he able to accept the invitation
which has been extended to me-"
The evidence of good will and kind
ness indicated by the letter from the
committee and the mavor is a source
of extreme qualification to the admiral
at this time and he embraced the op-
portunity offered by their request to re-
iterate his thanks to the people who
have stood by him in the face of criti-
cism which has appeared as a result or
a change in the title OF the property
given by the American people.
From every section of the country,
he says, have kilograms and letters
come to me showing the good will and
kindness of the American people. 1t is
impossible for me to acknowledge each
one of these communications individ-
ually, but / assure you that am deeply
grateful to their senders and appreciate
their consideration. L am constantly re-
ceiving tokens of good will from the
people, as you will see by looking
around this room and seeing the beau
tiful things that have been sent to me.
81 have been in my office all day long
looking over the kilograms and letters
which have come. No. l don't care TO
make any observations on the criti-
cisms which have arisen as result of
the transfer of the property other than
those which have already given public
expression to. Enough has already
been said, and I now want TO live quiet

and Invitations Are Extended to
Visit Various Cities.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-The Chicago Dew

sire to assure you that the people of

ADMIRAL SCHLEY'S ORDERS.
Must Keep Away From South Africa
With His Squadron.

Washington, Nov. eat is said at
the navy department that the disincli-
nation of the department to order Rear
Admiral Schley to South Africa has
no connection whatever with the per-
sonality of that officer Whoever COM
manded the South Atlantic squadron
at this juncture would, it is said, re-
ceive similar instructions. For 1T is re-
garded as a matter of national policy to
refrain from sending warships to either
the Cape or to Delagoa bay or Durham.
It is felt to be unwise for the United
States to initiate the sending of war
ships to South Africa now. There can
be little doubt that such action on our
Part would instantly be followed by the
naval powers of the continent, and
French. Russian and German fleets
would follow each other there to the
complication of the situation. 1t is not
to be learned that this attitude of our
government has been assumed as the
result of any representations from the
British government.
