ADMIRAL SCHlEY HAS
NO PROTEST TO MAKE
Calls Upon the President and Says
That He VIII Accept the South
Atlantic Squadron.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 19-Rear Ad
miral Winfield Scott Schley, who will sue
ceed Rear Admiral Howison in command
of the South Atlantic station, has no pro-
test TO make against the assignment
which the Navy Department selected for
him.
AS sailor, he will obey orders with
out a murmur. He called upon the Presi-
dent this afternoon and told him that he
had no complaint to make; that he would
cheerfully assume the duties of any post
selected by the authority which ii had
been his pride to serve for forty-three
years.
Rear Admiral Schley was very reticent
when he left the White House after his
interview with the President, and except
to say that he always Obeyed orders
would make no statement as to the in
terVieW and offer no comment upon the
assignment to the command of the South
Atlantic station To the rear admiral S
friends the President has said that he
regards the station as of great impor-
tance, especially at this time, in view of
the situation in South Africa, and the un-
settled condition of affairs in some of
the South American countries. Far from
regarding the assignment as d slight, the
President told Admiral Schley's friends
he regarded it as a mark of distinction

LONDON, Sept. 19.-Summonses were
issued late this afternoon for a Cabinet
council which 1t is understood will be
held Friday. This is regarded as the
result of the visit of the Premier, Lord
Salisbury, to London, whittier he came
this afternoon, remaining at the For
eign Office from 4:30 p m. to $50 p.
m. Mr. Chamberlain, Secretary OF
State for the Colonies, was present in
the building at the. same time, and as
a private doorway connects the offices
it is presumed that the summonses
were the result of their joint delibera-
ton.
The lack of all excitement in official
circles bears evidence to the deliberate
manner in which the highest officials
are handling the crisis. Nor is it by
any means certain that the Cabinet
council will adopt extreme measures,
in spite of the uncompromising nature
of the Boer reply. This deliberation on
the part of the Government is inter
preted not only in London but in other
European capitals as a desire on the
part of Great Britain to gain time While
the troops are hurrying to Cape Colony.
The Berliner Neueste Nachrichten,
commenting on this to-day, says: THE
present calm is only meant to deceive
the Beers. When England feels equal
to the task of facing the Beers this
peaceful tone will give way to blatant
cry for war"
Even rumors of a movement of the
Beers across the Natal border appar-
emily fail to excite the military authori-
ties here, who profess at least not to
fear such a contingency for the present.
In the meantime the movement of
troops proceeds. The Royal West Sus-
sex Regiment left to-day for Malta,
where it will replace the first border
regiment, which goes by the same
steamer to Natal.
1t is announced this afternoon that
the British first-class protected cruisers
Terrible and Powerful have been or
dered to the Cape. They have reliefs
on beard capable of forming a naval
brigade of thousand men.
Inc steamer Jelunga will take 500
troops bound for Natal tomorrow, and
she will embark a rifle brigade at the
island of Crete for the Cape
According to a dispatch from Dur
ban, Natal, the Premier of the Colony
says that the alarm of the people of
Natal at the unprotected condition of
the border towns is quite unwarranted
and that all efforts to incite the Zulus
have failed
The lull in the crisis gives opportunity

Die A TUNNEL
TO. ESCAPE
Vain Attempt of Bull
Pen Prisoners.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WARDNER, Idaho. Sept 19.-Only the
vigilance of Sergeant Ellichman prevented
the larger portion of the prisoners now
in custody at the bulpen from disappear
ing into the night. Sergeant Ellchman
was suspicious that some movement was
on, and began a search. Under the floor
of the left bunkhouSe, in the northeast
corner of the inclosure, he found a large
quantity of new dirt. There was also a
new hole there. into which one of the SOL
diers descended and made an exploration.
The men in search of liberty had bur-
the hard soil characteristic of this partic-
ular locality, and had only thirty feet
more to go when the tunnel would have
brought them to daylight under the bluff,
screened from the observation of the men
guarding them. The tunnel was about
twenty-five inches in diameter, of neces-
sity untimbered, and was just large
enough for a man to crawl along.
Tools had been constructed in an in
put on runners. To each end a long rope
was attached, the rope being made of
spliced pieces One man burrowed, using
for a light a candle placed in the bottom
of a broken bottle. When he had filled
the box with dirt the man at the other
end, at signal, would haul the box to the
bunkhouse, empty it, and the turnover
would haul it back and fill it again. A
butcherknife. a Crowbar. twisted wire and
the man underground. He made fast
progress, for 1t is known that the work
had continued only two days. The tunnel
was so small that the man working in
side had to crawl out on his stomach when
he had completed his shift.
