New York, July 22.-The New York
Evening Sun prints the following
dispatch:
Tien Tsin, July Is, Up. M, via Che
Foo, July 10, and Shanghai, July
2O.-This day Sunday has been de-
voted entirely to the looting of the
native city, and it is impossible to
cable description of the scenes that
we're enacted there. Millions ofdollars
worth of property has been taken. The
whole city is filled with an indiscrimi-
nate mob of Chinese soldiers of all
nationalities, who are breakinglopen
stores, smashing chests and safes and
rushing hither and thither with their
arms filled with silks, furs, jewelry,
silver bars and money.
The residents of the settlements
hocked to the native city yesterday
morning after it had been captured by
the troops, They impressed coolies
with rickshaws and carts and donkeys
into service and very soon the roads
between the settlements and the city
were lined with long procession of
hooters carrying off their plumber,
The American and japanese troops
were the only ones who made an at
tenp to restrain the civilian or
soldier looters.
The British sent organized parties
from the war ships Barneur, Endymion
and Orlando, in charge of officers to
guard certain treasures. 1t was
known that:the Chinese had two official
treasures, containing over 81, 400, 900.
The location of one of these treasures
was known. The allied authorities in
tended to seize the money and place a
guard.in the wrong place yesterday.
To-day, when the mistake was dis
covered, it was found that the silver
had nearly all been taken away The
British guard began searching the
houses in the settlement and found
about S35, 600. The search is still go
ing on and guards were posted around
the settlement this morning with in
structions to seize all the loot brought
in and also to confscate all civilian
loot thatmav be found inthe settlement

British war secretary, to be held for
such disposition as the nations in
terested may decide.
The correspondent saw one civilian
stopped in the afternoon. He had
$4,000 in Mexican silver in wheel
barrow, covered with old silks.
Soon afterward party of British
sailors in charge of an officer came
along with a water cart.loaded with
silver. The officers of the Sikh regi-
ment have been taking stretcher parties
through the city, gathering everything
of any conceivable value.
Fires have been started throughout
the city and men are fighting in the
streets over loot. Revolvers have
been drawn and threats of shooting
are not uncommon. The Cinnamon
sometimes offer show of resistance
against being plundered, and in these
cases are shot. The hooters regard
the pawn shops as special prizes.
The British officers who are Selling
the civilian loot say it is to be divided
among the soldiers. There is no in.
terfering with them by the French,
Russians and japanese.

three hours with the secretary of war.
The Cuban situation was gone over
thoroughly. General Wood reitera-
ted his opinion that it would be very
undesirable to withdraw more than the
three regiments now under orders to
leave the island. The removal of the
troops now under orders will reduce
the American force in Cuba to little
more than 5000 men. These General
| Wood considers essential to the well
fare of the island till after the coming
constitutional convention. The Gu
bans do not want the American troops
replaced by native volunteers at this
time, because of the opening which
this would make for military dicta-
torship.
1t is understood that Secretary Root
conceded with General Woods views
after the situation had been fully ex-
planned, and no further draft will be
made on the Cuban force at present.
FIRST INDEPENDENCE. THEN ANNEXA-

Kansas City, July l9.-Charles Du-
fau, of Havana, Cuba, is at the Coates
house. He is the agent there of the
Swift Packing company, of this city,
and came to confer with that firm.
There must be annexation or the
island will inevitably become bank
rupt," he said last night. "Sooner or
later Cuba should become a part of
this republic, and the sooner the bet
ter, But ! believe it to be absolutely
necessary that the Cubans first be
granted their independence. They ex-
pect and demand this, and it will
please their intense pride. If indie
pendence is not granted them they are
certain to be discontinued, and even
unruly, and it is not possible to fore
cast to what ends they may not go.
but if independence is given them
it is not to be doubted that then it will
only be a matter of short time be-
fore they request this country to take
their island in. Cuba needs free trade
with this country, and it will be as
sured 10y annexation.
Cuba is wonderfully rich in its
products. Yet most of the land is
mortgaged and the great needs there
now are confidence and ready money.
/ 1t would be a great relief if the United
states would establish banks there to
loan money on land. | repeat, there
must be annexation or bankruptcy:
yet independence should be granted
first. Capital is not flowing in there
because of the feeling of uncertainty,
yet many investments are paying loo

cabinet officer today made this state
ment and then added;
General MacArthur's dispatches
on the necessity of retaining there all
the troops save those already under
orders are clear. 1t would be unsafe
to take any more away"
"Then, under no circumstances, will
the forces in the Philippines be drawn
on?" he was asked.
II am not going to say that any
conclusion reached is an absolute
finality, but this much is positive: No
development in the situation is appre-
hended such as will call for a change
in this policy as to our troops in the
Philippines, in the present light Of
events"
"We do not anticipate any extra
session of congress-" he said.
"What if Minister Conger and the
other Americans are found to have
been murdered?" he was asked.
"We are proceeding at this present
moment on the assumption that oul
people are murdered. l do not see
why that should necessitate an eXtri
session. An extra session is hardly
necessary.

Announcement is made of the open

distinct benefit to trade and travel may
confidently be expected to result in the
form of better freight and passenges

lows railroad competition for public
patronage. BY this step, also, the
Santa Fe Road has materially added
to its sources of revenue. 1t is the
only railroad with tracks and trains
under one ownership and management
all the way from Chicagoto San Fran
cisco, as heretofore it has enjoyed
that distinction between Chicago and
Los Angles and San Diego. The adj
vantages resulting from such undivid-
ed responsibility are apparent, as it
means uniformity of policy and
prompt through service, which in a
system of the high standing of the
Santa Fe signify much to the traveller

The Fantai of Shan Tung, the high

to be addressed to and record a con-
versation between, the governor and
the Fantai. The Fantai is motor.
iously anti-Christian, and his letter
cannot fail to have evil consequences
The letter is as follows:
According TO your remarks to me
when speaking on the subject of
Boxers. who declare themselves the
enemies OF all Christians, from the
time of the settlement of the Pingyuan
affair and Brooks murder they have
/ increased like a swarm of bees and
their power has grown day by day.
The provinces of Shang Tu and Chi
Ii are filled with them. Beginning at
Pekin and Tien Tsin, they have
burned churches, murdered Christians
and prosecuted other people. On this
account soldiers were dispatched. but
the trouble increased so that it seems
endless.
This calamity has as its source the
native Christians, who have clothed
themselves with the power of for eign
ers Relying on this power, the ma
tive Christians have insulted peopl
TO such an extent as to engender the
greatest hatred, and, too, the oc-
casion has been taken advantage OF
by lawless men to carry out evil de.
signs rs burning and robbing.
"What, therefore, can we consider
a good method to stop the trouble :
To stop the pot boiling over, the fuel
mu st be pulled from below, but the
Christians are part of our people, and
since they have been deceived by the
foreigners they have lost the right
road. If they could be brought back
to the old pathway they woul6 be oul
loyal people again. In this way
mutual hatred would cease and tran.
guilty be restored.
therefore, we eXhort you accord,
ing to the instructions of our govern.
ment, and authorize all magistrates
to compel native Christians to return
TO their former religion and make
them give security that they will not
enter again a Christian church. AL
furniture of churches and Christians
= is to be confscated, and the proclama,
tions are to be issued exhorting the
/ people to abstain from robbing Chris
tians who renounce their faith.
"This will be the best plan to cause
, the present troubles to cease, and il
: it the duty of all wise and good mer
to consider this plan for stopping the
present calamities."

AN INIQUIIOUS LAW.

The effect of the poll tax law will be seen in the small vote cast at the November election. This result of this peculiarly objection able enactment is foregone. con- clusion. We hear on all sides ex-- pressions of determination not to vote if the right of voting entails the payment of an initiation fee be- fore the ballot box can be ap- preached.
 This comes from men who. are thoughtful, conservative citizens. The assurance comes from citizens who are we'll endowed with this worlds goods. With them 1t is principle, not the amount thus demanded, but thatanything what ever must be paid at the door, be- fore that door, which leads to the sacred precincts of the ballot; will be opened
 This, too, is the general opinion. The right to vote is held to with tenacity as the inherent right of each American citizen and cannot be taxed as a chattel would be taxed. It is free, as the nation is free, for it is part of the ,qitizen's birthright of freedom ,,
 The act was mistake. It is an iniquitous piece of legislation, It will be the cause of enforced as- surances from candidates and re- turned legislators alike that, the statutes of this territory will be cleared of a tyrannical, uncopstitu- tional enactment before any ad- journment will be reached by the approaching legislature. .s z. The poor man feels the mean ness of the law. He knows that to be able to vote entails the pay ment of fee. A bonus on his right to vote. He must dig into the pockets of his overalls to ex- tract therefrom the result of hard toil before he can feel that he can exercise the right which was his before this act made it's obstructive appearance, before it was placed, subversive of the liberty of the subject, upon the statute book.
 He must perforce pay for his vote. perhaps forego some neces- sity. '
 People say it IS unconstitutional. They are right. But now in the face of the approaching election they must wait and place ln their proper places men whose recogni- ;tion of the constitutional advant- ages sought to be secured to all of our citizens is not obscured by principles that are. obstructive and narrow minded. Thus will be re- stored and conserved the inherent rights of the people.
