RIOTOUS ACTS OF
 OHIO SOLDIERS Rob Macon Merchants in Broad
 Daylight. COLONEL HELD RESPONSIBLE Ordered His Men to Loot the Wagons of Vendors Who Had Gone to Camp to Sell to
 the Troops.
COLONEL HELD RESPONSIBLE

Macon, Ga., February 10.-The merchants and business men of Macon are highly in- dignant tonight oyer the atrocious robberes committed by the members of the Second Ohio regiment as they were being mustered out of the service of the United States.
 A large number of the merchants sent wagons loaded with merchandise out to the camp to sell to the discharged soldiers. The colonel ordered them to leave the camp and upon their refusal to do so, ordered the men to pilfer the wagons. The robberies com mitted by the men did not end here, but they came to the city and while under the influence of whisky went into several stores and walked out with goods in full view of amazed merchants Several of them were arrested, and after turning over the goods were released. They also went to houses of ill-repute and committed all kinds of depredations.
 This conduct was not general with the members of the regiment, and is deeply de- plored by a large number of the better class of the men, and a number of officers of the regiment signed a statement to that effect.
 The loss the Macon merchants suffered VIII amount lO COHSlueIdDlS. OHS ulSI- chant had to close his store, so heavy was his loss. He was even robbed of his over coat, and his negro driver, who had on a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles was re- lieved of them.
 A requisition will probably be made on the governor of Ohio for the return of Co., lone Keurt to this state for prosecution for aiding and abetting robbers.
 The Macon merchants some weeks ago made complaint to Washington that the negro regiments be not mustered out here, but be sent away, company at time. The merchants also asked that the negroes be kept out of the city limits and the police force was doubled. The government had the men mustered out here and the negroes took trains at the camp without coming into the city. The other regiments mus tered out left the town without spending any money, and the merchants recently adopted the plan of taking their wares out to the camp.

States corporation under such safeguards as congress shall impose.
 T do not make any recommendation to congress as to which of these methods would be the more desirable. A cable of the length of that proposed requires so much time for construction and laying that it is estimated that at least two years must elapse after giving the order for the cable before the entire system could be srceess- fully laid and put in operation. Further deep sea soundings must be taken west Of the Hawaiian islands so that the best route for the cable can be selected. Under these circumstances 1t becomes a paramount ne- cessity that measures should be taken be- fore the close of the present congress to provide such means as may seem suitable for the establishment of a cable system.
 'T recommend the whole subject to the careful consideration of the congress and to such prompt action as may seem ad- visable

NO NEW CASES.
One Death From Yellow Fever in the
 202nd New York.

Havana, February 10.-Major William L. Kneedler, surgeon of the First brigade, Second army corps, wired this morning from Juanajay, province of Pinar del Rio that there had been one death from yellow fever among the members of the Two Hun dred and Second New York, but no new cases had developed. This afternoon dis patch was received from Major Kneedler saying that the autopsy showed that the cause of death was not yellow fever, but pernicious malarial fever and that 1t was really doubtful whether there be any cases of yellow fever in the regiment. Neverthe- less, the camp will be moved.
 Dr. O'Reilly says that the case in the Eighth regular infantry. which was at first supposed to be yellow fever, is undoubtedly only malarial and that with the exception of the five possible eases at Juanajay, there is not case of yellow fever among the American troops in the island.

BERESFORD'S PLAN
 FOR REGENERATION 0i the Now Fast CFumblinS Empire Oi . ~ China. H#44  aSPHERES OF INFLUENCE"
ShoHld be Promptly Replaced by an
 "Opsn Door" Policy.
AMERICAS EASTERN INTERESTS
At Present Comparatively Slight b@ Our Oriental Trade is Dastl ei to Exceed That of Any
 Other Nation.

San Francisco, February 1O-Lord Charles Beresford, admiral of the British navy. arrived here today on the steamer American Meru from China ana 1apah Lord Beresford's proposal of an open door" policy in the orient has been reeeiVed with great attention throughout the Wor and it will likely play most prominent mart in the settlement of the far east ques- ton. In an interview Lord Berestofd said:
 "It means simply that instead of spheres of influence,' which means the breaking up of the Chinese empire, that Engiahd' America, Germany and Japan shall py agreement maintain free and equal com mercial relations for all in the orient. It in- cludes the reorganization of the Chinese army, officered both as to commissioned and on-eommissioned officers by Euro peans; that the Chinese empire may be properly policed and life and property made safe. As it is now, mobs and rebel lions are liable at any time to destroy both lives and property, as actually happened not long ago when about 6,OOOO0O taels worth of property belonging to the French mission in western China was destroyed.
 The Open Door Policy
 China must have a revenue, and the "open door" policy by guaranteeing order and uniformity in customs regulations and tariffs will provide it in greater abundance than it has ever been provided before, be- sides insuring that it shall not be wasted as it is now It will mean the opening up of the empire in all the provinces and the development of it's wonderful resources of mining and commerce. The returns from concessions of these natural resources now lying idle will be a source Of great reve- nue to the empire.
 If the spheres of influence policy is al- lowed to be adopted Russia will, of course, become all-powerful in the north, France in tho south. England, of course, cannot get everything. Germany will get what she can. Whhe America will probably get nothing, for though 1 think she is destined to be great trading nation in the Orient, greater than Great Britain or any other country, her interests are now compara- lively slight, and she will not wish to enter into the struggle at this time. But with the open door equal opportunity for all na- tions, her commerce is bound to grow.
 Spheres of Influence
 with the spheres of influence of course Russia would put on preferred tariffs in the regions she dominated and France would do the same in her territory. l don't know whether Germany and Eng land would or not. Thus America would be cut out altogether or practically so, from the China trade and England from all but that she dominated. So that America real ly has more interest in the open door than England has.
 "I go from here to Chicago and New York and Washington to get the sentiments of the boards of trade and chambers of com merce there on the proposal"
