THE DETENTION OF MAY
Another Demand to Be Made on
Guatemala for His Release.
Minister Hunter Instructed to Pro-
test Against the Action of the Cen
trail American Republic in Refus-
ing 10 Allow the Railroad Con-
tractor to Leave the Country.

The Secretary of State yesterday sent
by telegraph another provisional demand
for the release from constraint of r. Fl.
May, the American railroad contractor
who recently received an award OF $4,000
against the Government of Guatemala and
on the ground that he had not paid certain
debts.
The instructions to again protest against
the detention of May, which were ad-
dressed TO w. G. Hunter, the United
States Minister at Guatemala City, were
based on advices received at the State
Department yesterday from Mr.. Hunter.
He reported that May had not been i'm
prisoncd, but was prevented from leaving
Guatemala under law which fOrbids Il
debtor from leaving the Republic without
paying his obligations or having some re-
sponsible representative to settle them.
The Department had learned that May ex-
ecuted a power of attorney in favor of
a Mr. Fuqua just prior to leaving Guata-
mala. When May was arrested he sent
Fr,lua in his place to the United States
to protest to the Government.
In his instructions to Minister Hunter
Secretary Hay said that it had been clear
Iy shown to the State Department that
May had appointed an attorney OF record
then in Guatemala to respond to any suit
and that if this was substantially correct
Mr.. Hunter should demand Mays free
dom and inform him of his release from

FOR A NEW coAL1NG STATION.
A Special Agent to Inspect Dutch
HurbOr, Alaska.

With view to establishing coaling
station and Government reservation at
Dutch Harbor. Alaska, the United States
Government has sent special agent from
Seattle TO report on the available land for
the purpose. A telegram from an army
transport officer to the War Department
last August gave the information that pri-
vate interests were grabbing the land, and
after consultation with the Secretary of
the Interior, despatch was sent TO the
United States Register and Receiver and
Surveyor General. at Sitka, Alaska, inform
ing them that all lands at Dutch Harbor
are reserved until further notice This
was followed by a despatch to Special
Agent Dixon, at Seattle, 10 investigate the
matter.
The report to the War Department came
in a telegram from Major Robinson, OF the
Quartermaster's department. stationed at
Seattle, who transmitted report by II.
Richardson, quartermaster's agent, on the
transport Rosecrans, during her trip to
Valdez, St. Michaels, and Nome, Alaska.
Mr. Richardson said:
Il desire to bring the attention of the
department to the great advantages and
early necessity of a COaling station at
Dutch Harbor. While coaiing at Dutch
Harbor / examined in a cursory way the
harbor. and found one of the best on the
Pacific Coast. 1t is 4 natural and the only
available cCaling station for vessels going
to Nome and to the Orient from Seattle. \
natural sand pit has formed, making per-
feet breakwater. The depth of water is
sufficient TO float the largest vessel. The
capacity OF the haIbor is so extensive that
the navies of the earth might safely be
sheltered therein. The two commercial
companies located at that point have
monopoly of the coal and supply trade, and
are exacting in their demands. There yet
remains territory sufficient TO fully meet
the requirements of the Government for
coaling purposes south and to the ives; OF
the ha.bor.
These lands as also the lands on the
spit, have been filed upon, and several
buildings constructed thereon, two on the
mainland and one ON the spit. These small
buildings are all made from one pattern,
indicating that single mind is behind the
effort to secure these lands. No bona fide
effort has been made to establish thereon
either manufactures or commercial enter
prises. The lands are not mineral in
character. The time fixed is September
next TO prove upon these lands, thus plac-
ing them beyond the reach OF the Govern
ment except by condemnation purchase.
Inc improvements on the 1duu 10 hot III
dictate an honest purpose TO obtain the
lands in the manner prescribed by law.
Il suggest that the Government at once
send competent special agent wax" ar
examination and report upon
conditions, and as to whether
question ought not to be put

matter should receive INN

explanation WIS given today as TO the orr
gin Of the reports Of a probable conflict be-
tween the Republics Of Nicaragua and
Costa Rica:
Two years ago Freder.co Mora. a Costa
RiCan. was arrested here On the charge Of
counterfeiting bank notes OF the Govern
ment Of Costa Rica and Colombia. He was
convicted and sentenced TO a term Of two
years in Sing Sing prison. he was released
four months ago. but was Immediately re-
arrested on another charge Of q similar
nature Bail 10 the amount Of IS GC0 vas
furnished for him. Now comes the news
from Nicaragua that he has escaped 10 that
country and is responsible for the reports
Of the probable outbreak Of hostllities be-
tween Nicaragua and Costa Rica
Mora has always charged that his con-
viction was brought about through the
Vaccinations CT the Costa Rican Govern
ment, which, he said, desired il on ac-
count Of his friendship 10 President santos
Lelaya, Of Nicaragua. IL is even hinted
that DC was The latter who supplied his bail
here Mora has issued a proclamation in
which he says the treatment accorded
prisoners at Sing Sing is worse than thar
suffered during The days Of the Spanish in
quisiucL, and that his cOuyictio1 was the
result Of scheme concCcted by President
Rafael Iglesias. Of Costa Rica. because he
was a strong candidate Tor the resi-
dency''
The records OF the Secret Service Gu-
reau show that Mora, With two men snd

CENTRAL AMERICAN UNREST.
The Maritime Canal Question at the
bottom of the Trouble.


Bottom of the Trouble.
In spite OF official details from the Gov
ernments concerned information contin-
ues 20 reach the State Department that
there is a state Of political unrest prevail
ing In Nicaragua and Costa Rlca. and the
adyices Of the Department show that the
maritime cana. question IS the main Is
sue Involved. Territorial matters are s.
posed to be at the bottom OF the reported
disquietude.
Although the Nicaraguan authorities
have asserted that there is no issue over
the area formerly owned by Costa Riea
and now belonging TO Nicaragua through
which the proposed canal viii pass the
information received here indicates that
this very matter is likely 70 give rise 70
trouble between the two countries
All the State Departments adyices on
the subject disagree with the assurances
given officially to il last Friday b. the
Nicaraguan and Costa Rican diplomatic
representatives here that there was L5
danger Of a conflict between the jwo coun-
tries. This Government is anxious TO pre-
vent a war in Central America and IL IS
understood that steps have been taken 20
bring Nicaragua and Costa Rica 10 a bet
ter understanding.
Meanwhile. the Nicaraguan Government
is endeavoring to adjust by arbitration the
complications which have resulted from
the forfeiture Of the Maritime Canal Com
pany' s concession and the granting Of a
new concession TO construct q canal 10 tns

vices 70 the State Department are that the

tween the two companies have not been Sc
lected and the method and scope Of the
arbitration have not been determined.
