THE PROSECUTION OF NEELY.
The Government Seeking to Have
Him Put on Trial Mt Havana.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Gen. Henry l.
Burnett. United States District Attorney.
returned to this city today from Wash
ingtcn. where he yesterday consulted with
Secretary Root and Attorney General
Griggs as to the future action TO be taken
by the Government in the Neely case In
speaking of a despatch from Washington
saying that the Government looks for an
application for a writ OF habeas corpus.
and that the conference yesterday was to
prepare arguments against the writ, Gen.
eIal Burnett said this was merely news
paper suggestion he had received no in
timatton that a writ of habeas corpus
would be sought. and doubted the availa-
bility of such an effort by Neeiy's attor-
neys. General Burnett then added:
The Government is honestly and earn
estly desirous OF assuring by every legal
means in its power the return of Neely to
Havana. in order that he may be tried
there for the crime with which he is
charged. All the department heads Who
through the administration of Cuban
affairs. have had anything whatever TO do
with the Neely case are united in their
desire to bring about this end
General Burnett concluded by saying
that the suggestion in Judge Lacombe's
opinion would be followed. The criminal
charge of bringing stolen funds into the
United States, examination upon which is
pending before United States Commits
sicner Shields, Will be discontinued. In
the civil suit for wrongful conversion, the
order OF arrest against Neely Will be va
Gated, but tae suit itself for the recovery
OF the money will be pressed.

SECRETARY LONG OPTIMISTIC.
Thinks the American Legation Will
ne Delivered.

BOSTON, Aug 9.-secretary Long seem
ed optimistic as ever in speaking of the
situation in China. previous to his depar-
ture for BuckieId. Me-. this evening.
He stated in no uncertain language to
a reporters question that an extra ses-
sion OF Congress on account Of the Chi
nese troubles was highly improbable.
Il hardly think there will be any war
WITH China" he said land believe the
members of our Legation will be delivered
safely into American hands before any
great crisis is reached"
Mr.. Long gave as his reasons for this
opinion the fact that the lives of the Min
listers have been preserved so long by the
efforts of the conservative party in China.
This conservative party, he said, has
shown itself to be power and is too far
seeing to bring about a deliberate war
with the United States.
What the other nations will do in this
matter l cannot say replied Mr.. Long
to query. ''all l can speak for is my
country"
He believed that If our Minister and his
suite be placed in our hands that portion
of the United States Army in China will be
withdrawn.

KIDNEY BLOWS WIN.
George McFadden Gets the Decision
Over ..IIid'' McPartInnd.

NEW YORK. Aug. George McFad-
des. the noted lightweight, succeeded in
stopping Kid Mcfarland in the sixteenth
round at ;he Broadway Athletic Club to-
night. To the crowd McFadden appeared
to pursue foul tactics in many Of the
rounds, and there was much Kissing and
fault-finding.
Referee Charles White. however, said
after the mill that McFadden did no foul
ing, but that Mcfarland was the real
offender. The latter's seconds interfered
when the Kid had suffered two hard
knock downs. There was a lump as large
as a hens egg in the middle of Mozart
lands spinal column. which was thought
to be due to series of Ridney blows that
were constantly administered by the win
ner.
Mcfarland took a terrific punching and
roughing in the sixteenth. He was knock
ed down twice, but each time he Jumped
up. His seconds. however interfered after
the second knockdown and McFadden got
the fight.

ZION DOWIE'S FAREWELL.
Leaves His Flock at Chicago to Visit
the Holy Land.

CHICAGO. Aug 9.-"Dr.'' John Alex
ander Dowie. ''overseer on earth of the
Christian Catholic Church. left Chicago
today for trip through the Holy Land.
His departure furnished occasion for
remarkable demonstration OF the affection
felt for him by his followers.
1t has been known in Zion for several
weeks that DIR. Dowie would leave this
afternoon and thousands prepared to wit
ness his leave taking. The men among
the zionists are for the most part work
ingmen. and they cheerfully lost a Gays
wages to show their regard for their
leader, and the women readily and
chserfuily followed their example. Al
though the start was not TO be made until
1880 this forenoon the streets in the
vicinity Of Zion began to fill long before
that hour. When the doctors handsome
private carriage came up. a way was
opened through the crowd by the Zion
Guards, an organization of young men
who serve without pay. and the purpose
of which is to protect Dr. Dowie from
assassination.
When the start for .Ak station was n ade
squad of guards preceded the carriage,
| while others walked at the sides and the
| great mass Of Zionites fell in behind, rm
ing a discordant but not disordeTly process
sion. On reaching the Michigan Central
station the crush to grasp the "doctor's'
hand aud bid him god-speed was so great
that all traffic was suspended. Men wept
and women walled. Some one began TO
sing Zion hymn. The refrain was caught
up here and there, and soon the entire
mass was singing. As the Zionites are
trained in congregational or chorus sing
ing, the effect was far from displeasing.
After the second hymn DR.. Dowie raisei
- ~
What is your watchword?'' he asked
"Mizpah' -
Be faithful, then, even unto death"
Amen" cried the crowd.
The rush to shake his hand then began
and he was pulled this way and that by
Zionites.
u cannot say much. want to thank
you for this great love God has put in your
hearts for me. l love you all. l thank
you for the help you have been to me
since Mistress Dowie and l and our two
children came through the Golden Gate
twelve years and two months ago. Then
we were only two in Zion. Now there are
50.000. Remember your signal"
Forward" shouted the audience.
Il shall return
Amen" said the crowd Then the cry
ing began again and the station officials
hurried the doctor and his party to the
train.
Some doubt is expressed in Zion ranks
about Doctor" Dowie's return. Some
members of the congregation say they are
not sure he will come back. They think
that he will remain abroad where he will
not be distressed by enemies.
The community Of Zion. though but
seven years old has amassed property
worth at least 81, coo 900. all of which is in
the name of DR.. John Alexander Dowie,
not as trustee. but as absolute owner.

CAUSES OF THE PANIC.
A Soldier Dies From the Effect of n
sword Wound.

ROME. Aug. 9.-Yarlous versions are
given OF the causes of the panic in the
crowd and also OF the number of persons
injured. One report that an Anarchist
ignited gunpowder on the ground is prob
ably untrue.
The incidents were doubtless mainly
due to the nervous tension Of the people,
who were ready to be alarmed by the
slightest cause.
1t is stated this evening that thirteen
were seriously injured aal thlt many
were slightly hurt A sergeant. VINO was
pushed or who fell on his own sword
which pierced his neck, died from the eff
fects of his injuries

A REMINDER TO CHINA,
CONTINUED from First rage.)
DEWEY SAYS WAR EXISTS.
The American admiral Discusses the
Chinese Sifugfinn


NEW YORK. Aug. "A despatch to the
Brooklyn Eagle" from its Washington
correspondent quotes Admiral newey as
follows on the situation in China:
Il regard the situation in China as ex-
ceedingly grave. The difficulties that our
soldiers will have to contend against are
many and various The conditions that
exist there are very much the same as
those in the Philippine Islands. You will
see from the map just prepared by the
War Department that the road between
Iientsin and Pekin is very narrow and
there is very little opportunity for ex-
tensive military maneuvring. The troops
will have TO fight in small bodies Just as
our soloiers have had to do in the Phil
ippine Islands. The country offers all
sorts of opportunities for ambuscades and
sudden attacks on the part of the enemy
The fields are flooded and the ground very
bad for an invading force"
When asked whether, in his opinion.
there was really condition of war now
existing between this country and China,
he said:
Il should say mCst assrirsdly yes. They
are killing our people and our soldiers are
fighting hard for their lives. OF course
ard as you would otner countries. There
is really no Government there, as we un-
derstand 1t. The whole governmental
function is in the hands of cid women.
Age is a great thing over here People
do not become powerful Or Influential un-
til they become very old. 1t Is just the
reverse in our country, where our mill
tary and naval men are retired in the
prime of life. | know a number of naval
men who were active aad in fine health
really became old soon after they were
ment called them old men and they, III
fact. became such.
The navy can be of little service in
this Chinese difficulty Our warships can,
however keep things quiet at Hongkong
and Shanghai Our naval commanders can
do just as l did at Manila when Aguinaldo
said he was going to take the ,'ty. !
sent him word that if he did, he would
not find one brick upon another, and that
/ would raze the city to the ground. 'rhis
I certainly should have done If he had ger
sisted in his purpose. The warships of
the allies ought to be able to keep things
straight in those cities within the reach
of their guns on the coasts.
1T is very significant the sending for
Ii Hung Chang by the Dowager Empress.
In this day of dire distress it is not sur
prisiDg that such Government as there is
at Pel.in should turn to the only really
great man OF the country. | think that
the allies are doing well to keep Ii Hung
Chang where he is. 1t is better for our
people TO have him under their eyes than
at Pekin.''

Chief of the Division Of Loans and Cur
rency, at the suggestion of Assistant Sec
retary Vanderlip. which gives in detail the
financial history of the Government from
its foundation.
The pamphlet gives a concise but very
complete history of the different issues
Of bonds and currency and all the coins
minted by the United States since April
2, 1892, when the first coinage act was

DEATHS FROM THE HEAT.
Men and Horses suecumb 10 the High
Temperature in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. Six deaths from sun
stroke and more than 100 prostrations, due
to the heat. is the record for this the
sixth successive day OF the present Eot
spell. For six days the thermometers in
the Weather Bureau have registered 80
degrees or more. breaking all Weather
Bureau records for long sustained heat.
During that time there have been thirty
one deaths from sunstroke and probably
100 other deaths assigned to other causes
that were hastened by exhaustion due to
heat.
The mortality among horses has bee :
heavy. At the Office of the board af
health. it is estimated that about I,00y
horses have died in the streets becauLe of
heat exhaustion.

MIGHT INFLAME THE CHINESE.
Goodnow Deprecntes the Landing of
British Troops at Shanghai.

In a despatch to the State Department,
Mr. Goodnow, Consul General at Shanghai,
reports the intention of the British Vice
Admiral Seymour to land troops at Shang-
hal, and expresses the opinion based on
communications made to him by Chinese
merchants and others that il British
troops are landed the anti-foreign element
might be melted to attack foreigners
The United States Government has no
purpose of protesting TO the British Gov
ernment against the landing Of troops at
Shanghai Its position is that any Gov
ernment has the right TO land armed forces
in China for the protection OF its own in
terests.
MIR. Goodnow's opinion will probably,
however. be transmitted to the British
Government.
