GALAPAGOS ISLANDS.
Great Britain Not Negotiating for
Their Purchase.

LONDON, Dec. $50 far as can be
learned by the Associated Press, Great
Britain is not negotiating for the pur-
chase of the Galapagos Islands from
Ecuador, nor has she any intention Of
securing the islands,
Official ignorance is protested on the
whole matter, and there is some aston
ishment at the action of the United
States Senate in passing Senator
Lodges resolution requesting President
Mckinley to inform the Senate regard
ing Ecuador's proposed sale Of the ISL
ands The Associated Press learns that
Ecuador may be said to have no inten-
ton of parting with the islands at any
price.
Whether or not unofficial steps were
taken by Great Britain with the view
of their possible purchase is mere
matter of surmise. But it is certain
that, according to the highest British
officials. these steps never reached the
stage of official negotiations.
Special cable dispatches from the
United States Interpreting the Senate's
action as emphasizing the United
States adherence to the Monroe doc
trine have caused no stir in official cir
cles here, as it is believed that the in
ternational relations between the two
countries have been so changed since
the Venezuelan affair that Monroeism
will never again cause misunder-
standing.
WASHINGTON, Dec. s. = Senator
Lodge called at the State Department
to-day to talk with Secretary Hay
about his Galapagos Island resolution.
AS to the basis of his resolution of in
quiry, he said that all the informatio
he had as to the reported attempt of
the English Government to secure the
islands was derived from newspaper
sources. The State Department itself
has no direct information of any recent
movement looking to the acquisition of
the islands, but will refer the resolution
of inquiry to United States Minister
Sampson at Quito for a response.
1t would not be at all surprising. it
is said here, if the ultimate result of
the broaching of this subject now were
the acquisition of coaling station on
these islands by the United States
Government In fact, the Navy De
partment has within the past year been
making quiet investigation into the
facilities there existing, with that OBJ
ject in view. Commander Tanner was
dispatched to Galapagos Islands just
after the conclusion of the war with
Spain to make a personal examination
of the conditions existing. He found
that the Ecuadorean Government had
some years ago abandoned its penal
station on Charles Island, leaving be-
hind large number Of domestic ami
mails in a half wild state, and these
stocks had enormously increased. Only
one of the half dozen islands was in
habited, namely, Chatham Island, and
tnat island had but one inhabitant in
the person OF a Mr.. Coboss. He was
OF Ecuadorean birth, but was a natur-
allied American citizen.

Vigan. If this last report as to Agui-
naldo's wherea bouts is true, it indicates
that he has been headed off to the
northward for the first time, and is be-
ing compelled to retrace his steps to-
ward the south. If he is striving to re-
gain his old stronghold in Cavite Prov
ince, his chances of success are very
slight Directly in his line of march is
q considerable American force at Bay
onbong; to the westward of that point
is Wheaton's force, and to the east OF
Bayonbong is an almost impossible
mountain range So with Young be-
hind him, with Colonel Hare close in
his rear, and his front INSTRUCTED, the
War Department officials feel that
Aguinaldo has little chance of escap-
ing to the southwark.
Major Batcheller is said to be making
rapidly for Apart, about the only port
on the extreme north end of the island,
SO as to reduce the outlet in that direc-
ton. The best chance remaining to
Aguinaldo is believed to be to abandon
the escort of three hundred now travel
ing with him, in which case he could
easily insure his personal escape in dis
guiSe.

EXECUTION AT WASHINGTON,
George w. Horton Hanged for the
Murder of Jane Mcclellan

WASHINGTON, Dec =. = George w.
Horton was hanged in the District Jail
to-day for the murder of Jane Nichol-
son. The drop fell at 12:12
Horton was an ex-member of the po-
lice force, and Mrs. Nicholson was a
divorced woman. On the evening of
June a, 1898, he met the woman in
Armory Park, and in the conversation
which ensued she announced her de-
termination to break off the relations
existing between them. AS she arose
from the bench to leave him he drew
a pocket-knife and slashed her across
the throat In a frenzy of rage he
stabbed her again and again. almost
severing her head from her body. Near
ly 100 persons witnessed the murder,
but were too paralyzed with horror to
interfere.
Horton made no attempt to escape,
and yielded quietly to arrest. His de-
tense was insanity, and after his con-
viction repeated attempts were made
to secure executive clemency. The Pres
ident, however, declined to Interfere
with the sentence. Horton was a mar
ried man.

THE KENTUCKY TRAGEDY.
Governor Bradley Replies to Criti-
cism Of Judge Tarvin.

FRANKFORT (Ky). Dec. =. = Gov
ernor Bradley tonight gave out his
first public utterance on the burning
Of the negro, Dick Coleman, at Mays
vile. This came in reply to an inter-
view by Judge James P. Tarvin OF
Covington, criticising the State author
tiles. and holding them responsible for
the Maysville mob.
The Governor this afternoon wired
Mr.. Tarvin asking him if he had been
correctly reported, and received the fol-
lowing reply:
1.-The penalty given Coleman may be
considered just, but the failure of the
State authorities to protect him after
he was in custody is wrong. and any
citizen has a right to criticise it. The
fact that he was a negro hardly above
brute is only the more reason for
protecting him. If your telegram
means fight. I have the choice of
weapons and choose cannon, you to
stay at Frankfort and I at Covington.
Please don't send the militia"
The Governor commenting on the
above, said:
'"The dispatch is characteristic of the
man. If the penalty given Coleman By
the people was just, why should Tarvin
object? AS to his proposition to re-
main in Covington and fight a gentle
man in Frankfort, persons who know
him will be astonished to learn he is
willing to fight, even at that distance
The Governor closes his statement
by saying: "As Governor have done
everything in my power to protect hui
man life and enforce the law If l
had known, as Judge Tarvin knew,
that this man was about to be taken
to his death at the hands of a mob, /
would not have kept a cowardly ST.
lence, as he did, but would have pro-
ptected him. Ever since Judge Tarvin
was seized with the idea that he was
Vice Presidential timber, his friends
have kept constant watch on him. This
latest effusion is additional evidence
that he is Irresponsible
