JUSTIN S. MORRILL,.

Death OF the Aged Senator From Yer
month"; Less Than q Week. 4a
Washington, Dec. 29.--Hon. Justin
S. Morrill,, the senior United States
senator from Vermont, died at 1:20
this morning, in the 8Sth year of his
age, after an illness of less than a
week. Wish him when the end came
were his sister-in-law. Miss Louise
Swan, his son James, Benjamin Durfee,
for long time associated with the
senator in finance committee work at
the capitol, and Colonel S. E. Cham
berlain, an intimate friend. Senator
Proctor was in the house at the time,
as were also several other friends
The senator never recovered from the
unconscious state into which he lapsed
early in the day. and his death was
calm and peaceful. The immediate
cause of death was pneumonia, which
developed from an attack OF grip. con-
tracted about week ago.
Senator Justin s. Morrill, was born
at STAFFORD, VT, April IA. 1910. His
highest aim was to serve his state and
country in congress. and an honorable
record of 43 years shows how well he
performed his self-appointed task. He
enjoyed the distinction of having served
continuously in congress for greater
length of time than any other man in
the history of the country. Isl

THREE CANAL ROUTES.

Preliminary Report Of the Nicaragua
Commission.
Washington Dec. S0.-Copies Of the
preliminary report of the Nicaragua
canal commission, of which Admiral
Walker is chairman. have been fur
nislied to: Senator Morgan and others
interested in the bill now pending in
congress on that subject. The commits
sion has not fully worked out all the
details of construction Of the proposed
canal, but the report simply presents
briefly the views of the commissioners
as to feasibility of the work and the
maximum cost at which il is believed
the waterway can be constructed.
Three routes are spoken of, namely:
The old low level, the high level, or
Menocal route, and an intermediate
route. and all of these, Senator Morgan
says, the commission considers feasible
of construction.
For the purpose of arriving at an esti-
mate of probable maximum cost, the
commission submitted figures on the
low level route, which the senator says
is considered the longest and most ex-
pensive. For this route, Admiral
Walker estimated the cost would be
1924. 900, 900, and Professor Haupt
$l23, OOO,O 900. while General Haines
added 30 per cent to the figures because
of various conditions. chiefly the ques-
ton of the cost of labor, which it was,
he thought, impossible to figure with
absolute .defniteness.
/ The report, says the senator, shows
conclusively that the. project is an en-
tirely feasible one, and that in its con-
struotion the government has the choice
of any of these routes. 1t shows fur
tier, Senator Morgan stated, the-abso-
lutte accuracy of the survey made by
Engineer Menocal some years ago.
TIE senator believes, however, that
all these figures are too high, and ex-
presses the opinion that 500, 600, 600
will cover the entire cost of constTuc-
ton, basing the belief on what has been
done in the case of the Manchester,
the Kiel, and the Chicago drainage
canals, and on the reduced cost Of ma
terial and la boT today.

SPAIN NOW IN A PANIC.

Extraordinary Precautions to Suppress
tho Carlist Movement.
London, Dec. 29.-The Morning Post
publishes today communication from
a correspondent now travelling in Spain,
who says:
"The recent arrest at Leon OF Senior
Granada, editor of the Carlist newspa-
per Ell Correo Espanol. is proof OF the
panic which has seized the authorities.
Senior Granada was visiting the district
where he was arrested for family rea-
sons, and without the slightest idea OF
stirring up a revolution. His imprison-
ment is likely to do the government
more harm than good. The results OF
my inquiries tend to show that the
Spanish republicans have some sym
pathy with Don Carlos. They would
not fight for him. but they certainly
would not oppose him. On the whole.
they would rather welcome any means
of overthrowing the present corrupt
regime. Still. it is useless for Don
Carlos to imagine that he can do any
thing without fighting. and he must
make move soon. or not at all.

Dewey Therefore IL Anxious for the
Arrival Of Naval Recruits.
New York, Dec ga special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Admiral Dewey cabled to the navy de-
partment asking when he might expect
the Buffalo to arrive at Manila. and
requesting that she might be hurried
az much as possible. The Buffalo il
carrying 500 men to the Asiatic squad
ron to take the place of those whose
terms OF service have expired, and who
are now exceedingly anxious to return
to the United States. Many OF these
men would ordinarily have come home
on the flagship Olym pia. which was On
the point Of starting for San Francisco
when the Maine was blown up, but
were retained by Admiral Dewey on
cable warming from Secretary Roose-
welt.
The. admiral has now informed the
navy department that the conditions IN
the Philippines are so materially i'm
moved that he will send few officers
and men to San francisco on the next
army transport which leaves Manila.
He is not yet willing. however. to rec
ommend any reduction OF the neet,
and. Notwithstanding the reports to the
contrary, he has never intimated any
desire TO come home himself. but IN
fact refused to take advantage OF the
permission extended to him OF temper
arily leaving the East and visiting
Paris when the peace commission was
there.

Dewey Asks for Crews for His Three
# Captured Vessels.
New York, Dec. ga special to
the Herald from Washington says: A
cablegram has been received at the navy
department from Rear-Admiral Dewey
asking for the immediate dispatch of
officers and men for service on the three
captured Spanish vessels which are to
be refitted and added to his feet.
Owing to the mastering out of volun-
teer officers, the department will find
it rather difficult to comply with the
request. Captain Crowinshield, how
ever. is doing the best he can to pro-
vide the officers and men desired, and
arrangements are now being made to
send transport with them through the
canal. u
Department authorities are anxious
to mission the naval cadets who are
now undergoing a course of sea duty
preliminary to final graduation. But
this cannot be done legally unless con.
gress passes the pending naval bill.
There is provision in this bill which
expressly opens the way for the inns
mediate assignment,o these cadets to
duty as officers.

IN FILIPINO HANDS.
City Of Iloilo Captured by Aguinaldoss
Followers.

Washington, Dec. 30-IIoilo has
fallen into the hands Of the Filipinos.
Juat before noon cablegram was re-
ceived from General Otis. which stated
that the American expedition reached
that place too late. the insurgents hav-
ing taken possession of the city on the
Gath. 80 hours prior to Captain Pot
ter's arrival. Aguinaldo's flag floats
over the city.
General Otis says the Sraniards have
evacuated all the stations in the south
ern islands except Zamboanga. Min
danao, by orders, they say. from Ma
drid. General Otis expects no further
word from Iloilo for four days, owing
to lack OF cable communication. It is
presumed General Otis will demand
the surrender of Iloilo into his hands
and this demand may at once raise the
issue between the insurgents and our
own government of the possession of
the islands.
The province of Iloilo is eet down in
official directories as having popula-
~tion OF 472, 600, and the city Is the GEO.
ond seaport in importance In the Phil
ippine group. e
The Spanish have chosen a strong
place for the concentration of their
troops in the town of Zamboanaga,
which is strongly fortified aud possessed
OF considerable natural strength from
a defensive point of view. 1t is not
doubted they will be able to. maintain
themselves for an indefinite time
against the insurgents, presuming they
are not cut off from obtaining supplies
from the sea.
The town itself has a population of
81. 900.
The state department today received
cablegram from United States Con-
sui Pratt. at Singapore. confirming
General Otis report, except that he
stated that the Spanish had fed to
Borneo.
Officials at the war department still
decline to make public General Otis
telegram of Yesterday. but there is no
doubt he is meeting with great diff

TROUBLE In HAVANA.
Disorder Marks the Closing
of Spanish Rule.
MUCH VIOLENCE AND BLOoDsHEI


Chicago Dec. 28.-A censored spe-
eial cable to the Tribune from Havana
says: ~
Rioting began at Montserrat tonight.
A battalion of Spanish troops hurried
from the barracks on the Prado to
Galiano street, the dividing line be-
tween Cuban and Spanish territory.
Order was restored, but in the firing
which occurred before the troops ar
rived, an S-year-old Cuban child was
killed by stray bullet.
Spanish territory in the New World
is now limited to a narrow strip OF
land between Havana harbor and Cali
ami street. The flags of Cuba ibre
and the United Sites are waving with
in two blocks of the Prado. q great
boulevard which runs through the cen.
ter of Havana.
Montserrat having been evacuated,
the place was alive today with Cubans
and people from the United States.
The scene enacted at Cerro and Vedado
last week and Jesus del Monte yester-
day, was repeated at Montserrat. There
was even greater demonstration, for
Montserrat comes almost to the city.
Some OF the flags leaped across the
dividing line and waved on the Span
ish side.
The celebration which was begun on
Christmas night today reached its
height. Crowds of men and women
waving Cuban and American flags and
carrying branches OF trees, paraded the
streets shouting and singing. Many
Americans went over to see the demon
stration. They did not remain long.
Owing to the intense enthusiasm, the
populaoe insisted on kissing the ''brave
Americanos. whether they wanted to
be kissed or not.
Several ARRAYS took place between
the Spanish residents and the Cubans.
A grocery keeper on Oquendo street re-
fused to put out the Cuban colors. and
was almost beaten to death with sticks.
As evening came on. the demonstra-
tion became noisier than ever, as many
of the negroes parading were drunk and
greatly excited. The Americans be.
came fearful of another clash with the
Spanish troops like that which ushered
in Christmas day. Francisco Luinteso,
Spanish volunteer patrolling the
street near the Prado, was fred at from
a bousetop and killed. A Cuban was
killed in another part of the city.
Half a dozen Cubans and Spaniardi
were shot or stabbed in ARRAYS about
the city.
There was q fight between Cubans
and Spauiards in front Of the United
States Club at midnight. Several Of the
participants were badly cut with ma.
chetes. Many American soldiers who
were in town behaved 50 boisterously
that General Ludlow says he is sorry
that they were permitted to come into
Havana, and in future none will be
permitted except on strictly military
buainetM
