GENERAL REVOLT
Tartars in Southeastern Rus
STA Much Alarmed.
RELIEF MEASURES misunderstood
Agents of the Government Met With a
Hostile Reception and Were
Forced to Retire.

LONDON, April 1.-THE st. Peters,
burg correspondent of The Daily Tele-
graph says:
A serious situation which has recently
developed in the province of Kason,
Southeastern Russia, a territory in
habited principally by Tartars, is likely
to result in a general uprising. Famine
and typhus, that have long been de-
vastating the Volga territory, created
such terrible havoc in Kason province
that the government was compelled to
send aid, food and Red Cross sanitary
agents.
Unfortunately rumors were circulated
with the assistance of fanatical priests
that the representatives Of the govern
ment really wanted to convert the Mo-
hammedans. A general religious panic
ensued and the government agents
everywhere met with hostile recep-
ton, being stoned and otherwise NAL
treated, SO that it became impossible to
distribute the aid sent. The govern
ment is now endeavoring to reassure
the misguided Tartars.

THE WlLMlNGTON'S CRUISE,

No Doubt American Prestige Has There
by Been Augmented.
WASHINGTON, April II. - United
States Minister Loomis, at Caracas, has
sent to the state department an account
of the trip made by the United States
steamship Wilmington up the Orinoco
and along the north coast Of Venezuela,
in which he says that the Wilmington
made strong and agreeable impression
wherever she touched in Venezuela.
"The splendid condition and appear
ance of the men and the boat" he said,
''never failed to call forth praise from
those who saw them, and as result Of
the trip think it will be found that
American prestige will be substantially
augmented and the idea of American
power and resources greatly deepened
and widened. Practical results are COM
ing, too, in the way of increased COM
MERGE with the United States, and if our
merchants and manufacturers will take
advantage of the favorable conditions
that have been created for them they
ought to profit very largely"
Minister LOOMS impressed the native
officials deeply by causing the Whining
tons machine guns to be fired whenever
any of the army officers came aboard.
The result was the forwarding of several
orders to the United States for similar
weapons. The captain of the Whining
ton caused a chart to be made of the
river as far up as Cludad Bolivar, there
being none in existence before.

Significant Utterances of Ono Of tho Ger

i LONDON, April ii The Berlin core
spondent Of The Times says Prof. Won:
Stengel, Of the Munich university, who
will be one of the German delegates to-
the disarmament conference at The.
Hague next month, has published a
pamphlet opposing the advocates of per-
petual peace. He declares that endeav-
ors to secure it are futile and puerile,
and that no peace. conference, even
though convoked by car and attended
by the most skilled diplomatists and
statesmen, will succeed in establishing
universal peace. On the contrary. he
contends that such conferences are
merely to avert present dangers, and
that SO far as Germany is concerned she
will maintain her rightful position in
the politics Of the world. In comment
ing upon Won StengePs pamphlet the
Berliner Post says that it is a great
source of satisfaction that the German
delegates are free from vague notions of
universal Naturalization,

ONE GLASS OF WINE.

4 Belief That 1t Changed TIE History
of This Country.
It's said that single glass of wine
probably wrecked the Democratic party
in 1860 The story is worth telling.
After the breaking up of the national
Democratic convention at Charleston
the party in Georgia held a state con-
vention. Great excitement prevailed.
The leaders of the party could not
agree. It was critical period.
The majority report Endorsed the Sc
ceders or boilers at Charleston, while
the minority report opposed their &C
tion. The leading champion of the mi
nority was. Herschel V. Johnson, and
his followers were confident that his
eloquence and logic would carry the
day. ~
It is quite likely that such would
have been the case but for an unfortu.
nate mishap. Ex-Governor johnson be-
gan his speech before the noon adjourn
ment on the second day and concluded
after dinner ,...
I. Old men who remember that speech
say that it was powerful argument,
and the impression gained ground that
after the noon recess the speaker would
demolish his opponents with a few
eledge hammer blows
But the overconfident friends of the
minority report were doomed to disap-
pointment. johnson felt the strain of
the morning session SO much that he
was unable to eat anything, and he took
glass of wine upon an empty stomach
to strengthen himself. This was fatal
mistake. That one glass of wine per-
haps changed the destiny of the nation
The great orator resumed his speech,
but the wine had nauseated him. He
was hazy, verbose and unintelligible at
times. His style and argument lacked
vigor, consistency and positiveness. His
friends looked at one another in despair
The men on the other side We're exult-
ant. 1t was evident that the speaker
had damaged his own cause.
Then Howell Cobb and Henry R.
Jackson followed each other for the ma
jority report. They spoke with an air
Of expectant triumph and captured the
convention.
The majority report was adopted. It
is unnecessary to follow the history Of
the next few weeks. The national De-
mocracy was completely disrupted and
put two tickets in the field. Lincoln
was elected and the country was plung-
ed into civil war. Had Johnson sue
ceeded in inducing the Georgia conven-
ton to adOpt his conservative ideas IL
is safe to say that other southern states
would have fallen into line with our
commonwealth, and the national Demo-
cratic party would have remained
united.
This is the story of whats little glass
of wine did. It ruined a great party,
caused disastrous war, and besides the
loss of life cost the south over 81, O0O,-
600, 1000. Perhaps this is rather speou-
lative, but there are many who believed
it a generation ago.-Atlanta Constitu-
ton. :

PROCLAMATION TO FOLLOW
Exchange of Notifications of Peace Likel
to Occur This Week.

Exchange of Notifications of Peace Likely
to Occur This Week.
WASHINGTON, April II. - The ex-
change Of notifications Of the treaty of
peace between Spain and the United
States, signed at Paris, will probably

vised of the forwarding Of the Spanish
treaty to the French ambassador at
Washington.
The exchange Of notifications will be

0Ritlnhers Alarmed st Anf team Compo-
tttinn IN the Industrial Market.
LONDON, April Americas success
fulcomp ton in the industrial market,
where she is beating the Britishers on
their own ground, is undoubtedly caus-
ing deep concern and heart burnings IN
British engineering circles. The acrimo-
NOUS protests of English firms respect
ing the awarding Of the Atbara bridge
contract to Philadelphia firm brought
out clearly this feeling, and the attempts
to explain Americas success by glut Of
work here do not harmonic with the
complaints of English firms, who have
not received orders which have been
sent to America. AS the st. James
Gazette puts it:
IF the British manufacturers have so
much work that they cannot accept con-
tracts, they are to be congratulated, but
in that case it is difficult to see why they
are complaining.
How to Worst Us in the Conflict.
The Daily Mail, taking up the ques-
ton, urges system of proft-sharing
with the introduction of the newest and
best machinery as the method ''where-
by America canbe fought and worsted, !"
though the paper adds: 'We must own
that the nation is in some degree suffer-
ing from lack Of strenuousness both in
employers and employed"
The secretary of the engineers So
ciety said to the Associated Press:
I'VE certainly regret the transfer
renee of work essentially belonging to
our market, and it would be affectation
to deny there is indignation and much
comment on the state of affairs. We
hope it is only a temporary transfer
renee, but you know the danger

REBELS ATTEMPT ADVANCE
Were Evidently Aware of the
Withdrawal of the Expedi-
tionary Force.
Gap Had Been Filled, However,
and They We're Compelled
to Fall Back.

MANILA, April II. The expedition of
1900 men under Major General Henry
w. Lawton, which started with the in
tention of crossing Laguna de Bay,
capturing the town of Santa Cruz on
the eastern shore of the lake and then
sweeping the country to the south, con-
sists of 200 sharpshooters chosen from
the various regiments, Hawthorne's
mounted battery, Gales squadron,
three troops of the Fourth cavalry, I'M
mounted, Tappan's battalion of the
Fourteenth infantry and Linck's bat
talon of the First North Dakota III
fantry. The fotila of 90 canoes lowed
by tugs and conveyed by the gunboats
Laguna de Bay, Oesta and Rapidan and
preceded by the launch containing
General Lawton and General King,
started from San Pedro Macati, on the
Pasig river, moving toward the lake
just as evening was setting in. It was
truly picturesque scene. The men
were all in high spirits and carried ra-
lions for 10 days, with the lightest
marching equipment.
Lawton's Plan of Campaign.
! General Lawton's plan was to reach
Santa Cruz at daybreak, to capture or
destroy any rebel gunboats or shipping,
to take the town and then to scour the
country to the south Of the lake, a dis
trict not yet explored by the Americans.
The tactics will be those of the old-time
frontier fighting, and it is probable that
the command will be divided int
squads of II, under non-commissione,
officers.
The withdrawal Of the 10 companies
constituting the expeditionary force
made a gap in the line from the beach
Ito Culiculi, just south of San Pedro
Macati, which was subsequently filled
Iby the Fourth regular infantry. The
rebels on the extreme right had evil
IDENTIFY been informed of the with
,drawal of the troops and they attempted
to sneak through after nightfall, but
they met with warm reception and
fell back in disorder on discovering that
the line was still intact.
