Kingston, JAM, Dec. 2-Advices

of rebel activities in all quarters of Co.
lombia. Wednesday a strong force of
insurgents captured the town of Chag-
res, fifteen miles from Colon Eight
hundred government troops were sent
Immediately to relieve the town and
sharp fighting followed The govern

were compelled to retire.
Before the Don left news had reached
Colon that the insurgents were attack
ing Porto Colombia and Sabanilla and
that government reinforcements had
been ordered there.
1t was believed at Colon that the in
surgents had changed their plan and
would concentrate against Colon, in
stead of Panama, owing to the strict
precautions taken by the government
at the latter city. Martial law was be-
ing strictly enforced in Colon and
large numbers Of people had been i'm
prisoned under suspicion.

PORTO RICO'S CONGRESSMAN
Says His People Wish to Become
Thoroughly American.

New York, Dec. 2-Porto Rico's first
delegate to congress, Frederick Doge-
tau, is in the city. He arrived on the
steamer San Juan Saturday night and
will stay here to visit friends for a
few days before he goes to Washing

cannot do it too quick We recognize
that we are naturally Americans and
that our future is part of the future of
this country. After centuries of sleep
Porto Rico is getting there with great
alacrity. The first sign is the develop
ment Of the natural resources on the
island The evolution of the people,
their development, their education and
their enrichment will follow. The only
question now in Porto Rico is between
the federalists, who want to hurry up
and be made state with an autono-
nous government at once and the re-
publcans who want to so slow and
first be made territory with a terri
torial government and later graduate
into full statehood"

oRsERTA7oRY AT PEKIN.
Protests 10 WaIdersee Against TX RemOval
of Ancient Instruments.

Tien Tsin, Dec. 2, via Shanghai
Protests and requests have been for
warded to Field Marshal Count Won
Waldersee by the representatives of the
powers urging the prevention of the
removal of astronomical instruments
from the observatory at Pekin. Most
Of the principal Instruments have been
prepared for shipment and labelled for
Berlin or for Paris.
The Chinese themselves do not pro-
test because, as members of LII Hung
Chang's staff put it, their objections
would be useless, as whatever they say
or do in the way of protest only elected
uncivil treatment.
The observatory is universally recog-
nized as one of the most interesting
sights in Pekin. Most of the instru-
ments now out of place are over one
hundred and fifty years old. Many of
them are magnificent bronzes and al
though not of modern type, can still be
used for the purposes of astronomical
observation
The number of Chinese returning has
been considerably augmented during
the last few days. Apparently they are
friendly. The provost marshall Of the
various nations are being daily inform
ed as to the whereabouts of returning
Boxers" but only those are arrested
against whom there is conclusive evil
dence of having killed native Chris
tians. The first locomotive since the
siege of the legations ran yesterday
from Tien Tsin to PelSin. The line will
not be opened, however, for general use
until about December Is.

nounced the war In South Africa as
zone of The BLACKLIST spots in British an
nails"
The present methods OF British war
fare, he said, were such as encouraged
the worst elements on both sides and
were bound to prove fatal to the ulti-
mate peace of the country. He declar-
ed that neither he nor j. w. Sauer,
former commissioner of public works,
would attend the Worcester congress,
lest it should be said that the congress
was engineered by politicians, and he
appealed to all Afrikanders to speak
boldly when upholding their rights,
and yet to "avoid wild language or ac-
tions which might lead to the abroga-
tion of the last vestige of freedom"
Mr.. Sauer, whose speech was rath sr
more militant, demanded the removal
of Sir Alfred Miner, whom he describ-
ed as Violently anti-Dutch." He de-
clared that, if Great Britain deprived
the two republics of their independence
she would lose the affection of all
South Africans. Referring to the Wor-
cester congress, he urged the delegates
to show firmness.

MANY KILLLD And INJURED.
Terrible Train Wreck in Mexico =
Americans Flee to Avoid Lynching

San Antonio, Texas, Dec. "A terri
BILE wreck in which score of persons
were killed and about sixty hurt occur
red on the Mexican Central railroad on
Thursday afternoon between Tamana-
cha and Symon, fifty miles south of
Jumilico. The first news of the disas-
ter reached here to-day Edward
Rische, a citizen of San Antonia, was at
the scene twenty minutes after the en-
gines crashed together.
The place where the wreck occurred
is in a valley at the foot of two i'm

We're running thirty miles an hour. One
of the trains had on board construc-
tion crew numbering $50 men. The 9TH
er was a freight train of fifty-five emp
ty cars. Three engines and about forty
cars were piled thirty feet high. Two
American train employees were forced
to flee to avoid being lynched The
names of the killed and injured are not
obtainable. This is said to be the most
serious wreck that has ever occurred
in Mexico.

Berlin to Experiment With New
Foundation for Street Car Rails. ~

Washington. Dec. 2.-Street railroad
companies in the United States will be
interested in a report just made to the
state department by Consul Hughes at
Coburg in regard to the various at
tempts that have been made in Ger
maAy to devise a means to counteract
the destructive influence exerted by the
passage of heavy electric tram cars up
on asphalt pavements. Hitherto, he
says, these endeavors have been with
out definite results, but much has been
said lately in praise of system which
is shortly to be subjected to a practical
test in Berlin.
Contrary to ordinary practice" con-
tinues Consul Hughes, "in which the
tram rails are laid Immediately upon
foundation Of concrete and in direct
contact with the superimposed asphalt,
the new method consists of laying the
rails upon bed of coarse gravel and
running line of hard wood blocks
along either side Experience has
shown that ordinary pavements. with
gravel and stone foundations in place
of concrete, offer the greatest resistance
TO the influence of electric cars. The
new method is also relied upon to re-
duce the noise caused by the cars rum
ming over the lines''

About 500 Delegntates In Washington
Bussness Begtms To-day.

Washington, Dec. about 500 dele
gates are in Washington to attend the
twenty seventh annual convention of
the Women's Christian Temperance
union, whose regular business sessions
begin in this city at the Lafayette
square theater tomorrow. To-day a
preliminry meeting was held in the op-
era house, over which the national pres
ldent, Mrs. M. N. L. Stevens of Maine,
presided. Mrs. j, K. Barney Of Rhode
Island, world tmperance mis-
sionary worker for the w. G. T. u, de-
livered the annual sermon, in which she
referred to the flight of the IsraeliteS
under Moses to Jericho. She likened
the Promised Land of the Hebrew to
the Promised Land Of the twentieth
century, now dawning for the w. G. r.
u. workers.
"Our Jeriecho," she said, 'is about to
dawn upon us. 1t is the coming cen
tury when every effort should be re-
doubled and aggressiveness should be
the watchword for increased activity in
abolishing the saloon and stamping out
the liquor evil"
One Of the most important features of
the coming convention will be discus
sion pertaining to the addition of some
sort of resolution with reference to the
canteen system in the army. Mrs. E.
M Thatcher, national superintendent of
the soldiers and sailors department,
who has this matter in charge, will sub
NIT her annual report Thursday after
noon. She also will offer resolution
condemning the army canteen.
During the past year Mrs. Thatcher
says she has visited all the army head
quarters and all the soldiers homes of
the country, and examined the work.
ings Of the canteen very thoroughly
She declared there is remarkable diff
ference between the old soldiers at the
homes at Marion, Indiana, where there
is no canteen, and at other posts. The
men are better, both morally and ply
sically, she said.
Mrs. Helen Bullock, national superin-
tendent of the Social Purity league and
a delegate to the Women's Christian

Washington Dec. 2.-Adminlstrata3
officials continue sanguine that the
ministers of the powers at Pekin Will
soon reach a common ground of agree
ment in the demands to be made upon
the Chinese imperial government in
satisfaction for the Boxer outrages.
The state department is in communica-
ton with the ministers and ambassa-
doris Of the United States to the Euro
pean courts and advices which have
come from them from time to time lead
the officials here to hope that the pow
ers will be brought to the position
maintained by the United States in
dealing with the Chinese. viz: That
there should not be demands made upon
the imperial government which it Is un-
able to fulfill. Our government has
persistently held to this view in the
progress of the negotiations between
the ministers at PelSin and If the prin-
ciple of this contention can be main
tanned of this contention can be main
handed to the Chinese plenipotentiaries
a decided advantage will be had at the
start. The attitude of our government
on this subject has been made clear to

LONDON P4i p.ERS ELATED.
Comment EnthusiasticnlIy on the
kaiser's Snub to Kruger.

London, Dec. 3.-All the London
morning papers comment with un-
bounded enthusiasm upon the abrupt
snub administered by Emperor William
to Mr.. Kruger, which is all the more
noticeable when contrasted with II e
Boer statesman's concededly successful
visit to France. The snub is regarded
as further evidence of the better rela-
tions existing between Great Britain
and Germany.
Emperor Williams telegram to the
German minister at Luxembourg was
the outcome of a dispatch which Mr.
Kruger sent to the kaiser on arriving at
the German frontier: "On reaching Ger
man soil l hasten TO express to your
majesty my sentiments of respectful
devotion and cordial sympathy"
The official explanation offered
through the German press is that steps
had not been taken to ascertain wheth-
er Mr.. Kruger's visit would be agreea-
BILE. The Boer delegates admit that
they have received a serious check and
Mr.. Kruger is said to be extremely dis
heartened. There is a rumor that he
has been requested to avoid Belgian
territory.
