MARQUIS OF PlNAR DEL RIO
Came North 10 Demand Protection of
 inc U. s. Government.

New York, Jan 1.-The ma-qu S and marchioness of Pinar del Rio ar rived at the Fifth Avenue hotel today from Havana and expect to remain thers for a north at least. The mar quis Of FiLar del Rio is one of the WeaIthiest Spaniards in all Cuba. Be sides occupying a high social position as the holder of one of the five mar quisates which exist in the island, he is the head of what is said to be the larg- est tobacco producing firm Al .he world. His wealth and prominence have made him the object of the violent hatred of the Cubans, and last Friday a party Of them entered his residence in Cerro, a suburb of Havana, and compelled him to shout "Vive' Cuba Lf5re."
 The marquis protested to Gen. Cas- tellanos, who in turn referred the mat ter to the American commissioners. The marquis then announced, accord ing to an Associated Press ulspatch that he would leave Cuba unless the American government would guarantee protection to life and property there. It is supposed that the marquis's visit here is in temporary execution of that threat.
 The, marquis denied himself to call CTS this evening, pleading the fatigue of travel and intimating that ne might have something to say later.

THE DEAD AT MONTAUK
Bodies at Camp w.koff Will be Trans
 ferred 10 Cypress Hills.

New York, Jan. Arrangements were completed today fer disinteIring the bodies of the soldiers who were buried in the improvised cemetery at Camp Wikoff. Lieu. William F. Cha-e of the Sixth artillery vii supe1v.se the work Forty collins were shipped today to MCnt2uk. It was at first thought the bodies would be removed tO the National cemetery a. Washing ton, but they will be buried in the mil itary grounds in Cypress Hills ceme- tery in East New York.
 At the head of each grave at Mon tauk Point was placed a bottle in which was sealed a slip of paper wi,h the name, rank, company, reg ment and all particulars obtailnable concerning the dead. By this means there will be no trouble identifying the bodies. Friends CT relatives Of any dead soldiers can have the body sent to them for burial by communicating with Gel. Kimball at the Army building. There are about 200 dead buried in the cemetery at Montauk, and it will probably take un- til the middle Of this month to complete the work Of removing them. Since the closing of the camp several bodies have been disinterrad and shipped to relatives.

total population of Austria-Hungary and Brazil in excess of 6O,000,OOO.
 But neither Austria or Brazil has any foreign colonies; both are dependent upon foreign ships for the transpcrta-
 ticn abroad of their exports and for the carrying Of their imports too. HOl- land, on the ether hand, has colonies with a collective population of nearly 30,000,000, and the interchange of pro- ducts between the home country and it's colonies constitutes an important item of trade, though in the case of Holland it is conducted largely in steamships.
 Two countries which may not un- reasonably be compared in many par ticulars are Portugal and the Argen- tine Republic. The population of the two countries is about the same, but while Portugal has many colonies dis tributed throughout the world, the Ar genuine has none, and, perhaps, in part as a consequence Of this, the Portu- guese shipping fleet is very much larg- CT than that of the Argentine, though the commerce of Portugal is steadily diminishing, while the Argentine is growing in weal<h, population, in the development Of it's fertility and in the diversity of it's products.
 These comparsicns between shipping and colonies are of interest to the United States just now because of the sure indications which they give of in- creased maritime business fer thls country as a result of an extension Of its sovereignty, through the placing of its flag over other lands. By the best published report the United States stood second among tha nations of the world in the number of their shipping vessels an din tonnage, a condition due chiefly, however, to the enormous coastwise business of the Unitsd States and the great trade which Americans and Canadians moncpolize on the lakes. Comparatively little American commerce is done in Ameri- can ships with foreign countries, but, unless all previous indications are at fault and are misleading, this condition will not endure hereafter.

"EMBALMBED BEEF"
The Hind Merrill Gof in Manila All
 Right.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-Gen. Wesley Mer- ritt was asked. today if ''embalmed beef'' had anything to do with the health Of his army in the Philippines. He smiled broadly. when he answered that he had no trouble with the "em- balmed" or canned meats furnished the army from America, which Maj. Gen. Miles had recently criticised.
 What fresh beef was furnished us came from Australia Gen. Merritt said. But most of the meat furnished the army was canned, and good sha-e e of it was taken with us. We did no5 experience the least trouble with 1t. My staff and I lived on canned meat part of the time, and we were in the best of health. When we left San Francisco, we took a quantity of frozen beef with us, and some of that spoiled through an accident to the refrigerat- ing apparatus. But when we could not get fresh beef we got along nicely on the canned beef, which appeared to stand the climate all right.
 "The health of the army was exce-- lent. The only trouble was at first in teaching some of the volunteer off, cers to take care Of their msn. But they soon learned that, and we had some crack volunteer regiments with us. I had an excellent arm"

The Fire Demon Cleans up inc Build inqs Which Were NOt Burned al inc First Great ConfIagrafion in inc Big Gold Camp.

Congress, Jan. 1 (SpeciaD 1:30 this morning fire was discovered in the storai Of A. Sroor. situated in the lower portion of the town in the block which was saved during the destructive fire which visited this camp last year. IL seems that the fire demon was deter mined to finish the work which it be- gan at that time. for every building on that side of the street which was not burned then was destroyed this morn ing.
 Despite the heroic work of the people Of the camp, the fire spread rapidly, and in a very few minutes after the fire was discovered the entire block was raging furnace. Fortunately. there was but a light wind blowing. The build ings across the street and adjoining were saved by hard work.
 The sufferers are A. Sroor, general store and corral; G. H. Francis, drugs; R. B. Baumer, barber shop; Rivera & Madding and D. Sonita, sa.oOn and Chi nese chop house. The losses will az gregate between six and eight thousand dollars. No lives wer5 lost. It is be- lieved that the fire was of incendiary origin.

New York, Jan. Mrs. Payne Moore is to have a naw trial, which, it is said, will take place the last week in January Assistant District Attorney Mcintyre said today that it had not yet been determined whether she will be tried again on the same, charge The prospects of securing a conviction of the woman on the charge of robbery do not appear bright to Mir. Mcintyre. If the robbery indictment should be dropped, that filed against the woman and her husband on the charge of hay ing stoIan siIverware from the Waldorf Astoria will be prosecuted. It is said that the next trial will be before Jus tice Fursman, in the criminal branch of the supreme court, instead of in gen eral sessions.

Extension of the Sovereignty of the United States Will Increase Materi- ally the Maritime Business of the Country During the
 New Year.

New York, Jan. 1.-There is publish ed on July 1 of each year a register of
 sailing vessels. In this list minor craft for coastwise, river and bay trade are not included, but only vessels of fifty tons burden and upward, the total
 number of which in all countries is, approximately 3O,OOO.
 It is curious evidence of the close relation which shipping interests bear to colonial possessions that the mer- chant fleets of nations having large colonial possessions :. are materially larger than the fleets, of nations having none and that the latter are gradually losing their share Of the worlds com merce. This is especially so with Sweden, the number of whose sailing ships is less than it was ten years age. and the fact has been strongly marked in a recently published report of the Canadian government, showing a steady diminution in tho commerce of Canada in Canadian ships. At the head of all nations in the number of sailing vessels, and in steam vessels too, is England with a total number Of vessels by the last report of 6,500. Germany has 1,O0O, France 1854, spain 1.113 and Holland 5SO, the tonnag5 of these countries being 2,3O0,00O tons, 535, ,000, 279,OO0, 162,O0O and 121, 1000 re- spectively. Many South American countries whose products are shipped to all parts of the world and the in habitants of which are dependent large ly upon manufactured imports, have very little commerce in ships Of their own, and their trade is carried on by the merchant navies Of ether coun- tries. Brazil, for instance, had at the time of the last census a population of Is, 100000 but nautical record of only 343 sailing vessels, and Austria-Hun- gary, an empire Of nearly 40,G00,000, had only 157 sailing ships, the com bined tonnage of the two being less than that of Holland, the population of which is less than 4,500,000, while the

Rockford Officers Searching Chicago to

Rockford, H., Jan. 1.-Rcckfcrd of ffcers were searching Chicago today with warrants for the arrest of George F. Hart, sen of J. W. Hart, a promi nent citizen of this city and leader in the state prohibition party, on the charge of forgery.
 Young Hart has been employed as a clerk in the office of the Rockford In surance company of which his brother in-laW, Charles B. Sheldon, is s'scre- tary. Christmas day, it is alleged, Hart secured thirty-three blank company checks from the office, forged the name of his b~Other-in-law and Harry Allen, the cashier, to them and succeeded in getting them cashed about town, the checks being from $25 to $50 each and footing up about $1,000. Then he wrote a note to his wife, saying he would not return until he could make a winning and pay his debts. Wine and cards were the cause of his down fall. His actions caused a sensation here, the family being prominent. Persons who cashed the cheeks declare that they will prosecute.
