D|STRUST THE UNITED STATES
Fears of the Latin-Americans
Are INF ounded.
THE PROPOSED COMBINATION
No American secret Agents Arc Oper.

Tho News la Washington.

Washington. Sept. l3.-The rumors
Of possible combinations among the
states of Central and South America
direct ii against the United States are
received with some concern by the off :.
Gals here. Nearly Il year ago this
spirit Of distrust on tho pa,t of Latin
American people was fret exhibited in
the semi-ofiiciaI publication by the
United States of Colombia of PROPOSE
tion to combine the nations of South
and Central America. In that case the
ostensible purpose was to resist unjust
demands for indemnities by foreign
states. But incidentally during the
discussion it appered that the scope of
the combination would he broader than
this. and there was more than one in
timation OF deep distrust of
the United States.
Two or three events have occurred
since that discussion to strengthen this
feeling. First, there was decision
adverse to Colombia in the Cerruti
case, and as Pres ident Cleveland was
the al bitrator, that unpopular decision
was charged against the United States.
Then last spring came the cruise OF the
United States gunhoat Wilmington up
the Amazon and the Orinoco. The
voyages were undertaken from the most
innocent scientific and commercial mo.
tives Commander Todd. of the Will
mington. found that there were no
charts of these vast rivers, and conse-
Quently was obliged to take soundings
as he proceeded. incidental lily he was
enabled to make rough running charts
of the rivers that may be Of value to
commerce hereafter. His actions were,
however, misinterprcted by some Of
the natives. though in the end Captain
Todd is believed to have per fectly sat
istied the Brazilian officials AS to the
rectitude of his purpose.
1t is said at the depai tment that
there is not the slightest foundation for
the story that secret agents of either
the state OF the navy department have
been sent into South America, and it
is quite certain that there have never
been any negotiations with Bolivia re-
specting the acquisition by the United
States of lands in the interior of South
America.

ael. of the state department, is author

Kansas City. Sept. l3.-Dr. X. D.
Griffith, OF this city, has just com
pleted for the government an official
test OF the Mauser pistol in use 10y Ger
man cavalry and under consideration
for adoption by the United States. The
test was made not only with targets,
but with human cadavers al.o, and DR..
Griffith says it proved at ranges OF
from 50 to 500 wards the Mausei pistol
is the most effective and deadly weapon
Of its kind ever invented, and that up
to the maximum range tried, it is prac-
tically rs good in the hands of marks,
men as Krag- oigenson. a Lee or Mau.
ser rifle.
The pistol fires 10 shots without re-
loading. and can be emptied with ac-
curacy of aim in less than three seconds.
The cartridges are 80 caliber, and are
propelled Ivy smokeless nitio powder
The bullets weigh So grains each. and
have lead core surrounded by nickel
plated copper jacket. 1t is said to be
probable that as a result OF DR.. Grif-
fith's test the government will adopt
the Mauser pistol.
