NO HOSTILlTlES AT DARIEN
Georgia Race War Situation
Somewhat Improved. .,
NEGROES STILL INsTHE SWAMP
Portion Of the Militia Go Home but tho
Others VIII Remain Until Dan-
ger of Trouble Is Over.

DARIEN, Ga, Aug. 2S.-There were
no. hostilities between the blacks and
the military during the day though the
negroes rem ain armed. That the stu
alton is improved is evidenced by the
fact that Colonel Lawton, commanding
the First regiment, has sent back to
Savannah 8G men and three officers
whose services are not longer needed.
There remain something more than 200
soldiers on duty. These will remain
until after the sitting Of the special
term of the superior court which has
been called to meet on Wednesday to
try John Delegal for the murder of
Deputy Sheriff Townsend. The special
term will also try Henry Delegal, the
negro about whom all the trouble has
arisen, and the 35 black rioters who are
now confined IN the Savannah Jail. 1t
is probable that special train and a
military escort will bring the rioters
from Savannah for trial. There arc
still several hundred armed negroes in
the swamp.

BRITISH CONSUL OBJECTS

SHANGHAI, Aug. 28.-As the outcome
of dispute regarding some lands at
Hankow, on the Yang -Tse- Kiang, about
700 miles from the sea, which were
purchased in 1853 by the concern OF
Joseph Matheson & Co., but were sub.
sequently included in the new conces-
sions to Russia, the owners, under the
advice and protection of Mr.. Hurst, the
British consul, sent workmen to fence
in the tract. After the work was be-
gun dozen Cossacks from the Russian
consulate appeared on the scene and
forcibly elected the workmen.
The captain Of the second-class gun
boat Woodlark, specially designed for
river service, after consulting with Mr..
Hurst, landed party of bluejackets
and moved the Woodlark within fir
ing distance Of the Russian consulate.
For time fight seemed imminent,
but nothing further occurred. The
bluejackets are now guarding the prop.
erty.
The British third-class gunboat Esk
has been dispatched to Hankow from
this port. Great Britain is evidently
determined to uphold British rights.

Iattl. Change In the British Boer South
African Dispute.
LONDON, Aug. 26.-There is little
fresh news from South Africa, but it
is announced that the governor of Natal
has refused to allow the transit of emp
ty cartridge cases intended for the
Transvaal.
The Pretoria correspondent of The
Daily Chronicle declares that President
Kruger's concessions are so farreach-
ing that it is doubtful whether the
burghers will ratify them. He thinks
it more likely that they will demand
Mr.. Kruger's resignation and the ap-
pointment of a younger man, probably
Schalk, burgher, non-oficial member
of the executive council of the Trans
vaal
All the papers comment on the seri-
GUS nature of the predictions in the
speech of Joseph Chamberlain at Bir-
mingham on Saturday.
The Daily Telegraph calls the speech
''an informal ultimatum.'
The Standard says it marks the most
critical stage yet reached.
The Daily News observes: "We can
not but suppose that such grave words
were we'll weighed beforehand"

CUBA SELF-SUSTAlNlNG.

Excess of Receipts Over Expenditures for
tho First Six Months Of 90.
WASHINGTON, Aug 29.-The war de-
partment has given out for publication
an interesting statement Of the financial
condition of the island Of Cuba. 1t
shows that under the management of
the United States government the re-
cAints of the island from Jan. 1. 1890. to
June 80 Of the current year. exceed .ne
expenditures by the very handsome
sum Of $1,4SO,O21. This statement
probably will be surprise to many
persons who had thought that Cuba
under the military occupation of the
United States was not self-sustaining.
During the period named the receipts
from all sources were $6,992, ,O1O; dis.
bursements, $5,5O1, ,9SS. OF the money
disbursed $1,7ls,0l4 was expended in
sanitation.

DENVER, Aug. 28.-Forest fires, which
it is thought were started by campfires
are raging on the foothills near the
entrance to Platte canon, about q
miles south of here. The fires started
five miles up the canon and burned
over the mountains on both sides of the
canon and are now devastating the tim
Der section along the foothills. There
are number Of ranches in this vicinity
and several Of them have been slightly
damaged by the fires. The town Of
Deer Creek was also in danger, but the
wind changed its course and drove the
flames back to the hills. Millions Of
feet of timber have been consumed and
the loss from this source will be con
siderable.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-The Herald
says: From semi-of1cial sources it is
learned that deal is pending in Wall
street whereby the Illinois Central may
get control Of the Minneapolis and st.
Louis railroad.
, Negotiations to this end are said to
have been under way for some time be-
tween the Harriman-Fish interests,
representing the Illinois Central, and
President Edwin r. Hawley, repre-
senting the present control of the Min
neapolis and St. Louis. No definite
agreement has yet been reached, but
Wall street interests having knowledge
of the situation say that in any event
a traffic alliance will be effected and
that q
Change Of Control
will probably be brought about. A su-
perfcial glance at the maps indicating
the geographical positions Of the two
properties, shows that such deal
would be greatly to the advantage of
both roads. The Illinois Central would
be given access to territory rich in
traffic, which it does not touch; would
get fine terminals in Minnesota's twin
cities, Minneapolis and st. Paul, and
would have practically a through line
from Duluth to the Gulf of Mexico.
Railroad men agree the Minneapolis
and St. Louis has terminal facilities

bestin Minneapolis. '.'s4>.s @ 5 ' 's"-

President Stuyvesant Fish and E. H.
Hartman, who are controlling factors
in Illinois Central affairs, have been
carrying out scheme of expansion for
some time past. First the Illinois Cen.
tral acquired the Mississippi and Yazoo
Valley lines. Then followed the pur.
chase af the Chesapeake, Ohio and
south western, running from Memphis
to Louisville. The extension of the
Dubuque and Sioux City road into
Omaha, which will be completed this
fall, was the next undertaking.
Now comes the proposition to gain an
entrance into st. Paul and Minneapolis.
Through lines already in operation, the
system would then extend to the head
Of Lake Superior, thus giving an un-
broken line from Duluth to New Or
leans.

fishing Secret Documents.
RENNEs, Aug. 29.-The government
has decided to prosecute The Eclair for
the publication of the "Canaille de
D." document, one Of the four docu-
ments secretly communicated to the
Dreyfus courtmartial Of 1894 and which
has been shown not to refer to Captain
Dreyfus at all. The object Of the gov
ern1nent is to discover who communi-
Gated it to The Eclair. The assump-
ton is that the CONN ul:cation was
made by Colonel Du Pa,y dc Clam, or
possibly by General Gonse. The publi-'
cation occurred three years ago, but
under the law prosecution can be main
tanned at any time during the following
five years.
1t is also rumored that the govern
ment has decided to arrest General
Mercier, but the rumor is not con-
frmed.

E. DULUTH, Aug. f28-A year ago there

Duluth market was the scene Of tre-
vendous activity. Daily sales of wheat

cred to the buyers within IA days from
sale. were 100000 or 100000 bushels,
and perhaps 5000, 600 bushels of this
wheat had already been sold. Receipts
Of new wheat were averaging 100 or
more cars daily. To-day sales of wheat
"to arrive" have been merely nominal.
New wheat receipts have probably not
aggregated 100 cars. and so. far from
there being a premium on cash there is
almost full carrying charge in the
cash discount. This fact will prevent
rush of wheat to market, and make
September receipts very Aluch less than
? q year ago, while August's, because of
the late season, will be hardly noticeable.
Flax reports from all Northwestern
states are still as high as ever, or more
so. Grain men returned from North
Dakota say the late rains have almost
insured the ripening Of fax fields, 10
days ago put down as impossible to
mature" Ten days more without frost
will bring these fields into an assured
crop. South Dakota reports received
here are for good yield and good quail
ity, with the 30 per cent estimated in.
creased acreage still holding good. Min
nesota, according to Duluth fax dealers
who have just returned from covering
the state, is also to very much outdo
herself in fax. Estimates of the years
receipts here, made by G. H. Thornton,
fax expert. are for at least 10000 900
bushels, which will be some IS per
cent above former years. The price Of
fax is now so high and the cash pre-
MUM so large that farmers would be
selling immense quantities Ito arrive"
if there was not an ever present fear Of
manipulation between date Of sale and
delivery. Almost, no new flax has come
in yet, the little arriving having come
up from south of St. Paul along the
river. Soon as possible it will be rushed
in, as there is incentive to early deliv-
cry in the shape Of d Scent premium,
not present in the case Of wheat.

RUSSIA TAKING A HAND.
Would Prevent Settlement Of DlfYeron COS
Between England and America.
" LONDON, Aug. 28.-Upon authority
OF undoubted reliability, reporter of
the Associated Press has ascertained
Chat into the Alaska dispute there has
crept the craftiness of Russian diplo-
macy. Russia, it can be stated, will do
everything, with every possible energy,
to prevent the practical cohesion of the
two great English-speaking nations. In
all European embassies instructions
have been received to thwart the Amer
lean understanding.
p A prominent diplomat who is inti-
mately acquainted with the details of
the negotiations for the past two years,
said to the reporter of the Associated
Press:
"In any arrangement looking to a
working agreement between England
and the United States, Russia sees the
defeat of her dearest projects. believe
her intense activity In China is to no
small extent due to her fear that Anglo
Saxon power, once centralized. will
sweep all before it in the far East
Dreading rapid realization of this night
mare she is making hay while the sun
shines, and in the meanwhile intriguing
to the utmost to tie the hands of those
who are working to materialize Anglo
American sentiment. The latest evil
dence of this is in the Alaska affair.
Though, strictly speaking, it is mat
ter of international politics and would
have been settled long ago if left solely
to Great Britain and the United States,
Russia has managed to suggest motives
never dreamed of by America, by dis
torting facts. It has been impossible
for me to divulge exactly how or to
what extent Russia got her paws into
the dispute. But the attitude of her
press, official to the core, is quite suf-
fclent to show her motives"
