AN ALLEGED PLOT

Letter Sent the Police Of Ho-

NAMES THE C0NsPIRATOR

Alleged Chief Of the Plot Is Said to BE
an Ex-Convict Who Has Recently
Come to This Country From France.
Police Are Reticent.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The police OF
Hoboken, N. j., have received a letter
alleging the existence of a plot to as
sassinate President Mckinley. The
writer of the letter gave in his commu-
nication the name of the alleged chief
conspirator, which the police refuse to
make public at this time. -
The letter, which is illegally signed,
is as follows:
''SIR--Having almost thoroughly as
sured myself of an anarchist plot against
his excellency President Mckinley, l
consider it my duty to advise you of the
name of one who is more than suspected
of being a leader, whose name is found
in the inclosed slip. He is a fugitive
from justice and dangerous man, hav-
ing been convicted several times, and
on the last occasion being sentenced to
five years imprisonment for an an
archist attempt.
my statement can be verified on ap-
pealing to the project of police at Paris,
France. In the course of the past year
he had concealed with him man
named Francois, the author of an an
archist attempt at Scranton, where he
mortally wounded an agent of the po-
l1ce"
The writer of this letter, the police
say, has been located and his story will
be investigated.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-It is stated
upon good authority that the United
States will retain possession of the Isle
of Pines whatever the final disposition
of Cuba. It will be fortified and a
strong garrison will be kept there.
Lying south Of the western end of
Cuba the Isle of Pines commands the
western or Yucatan entrance to the gulf
and forms an important outpost for the
defense of the Nicaragua canal.
While Secretary Root visited Cuba he
went to the island and recognized its
strategic Importance. The state depart
ment now holds that under the treaty
of peace the title Of the Isle of Pines
passed to the United States. Secretary
Root holds similar view. The north
ern side of the island-that next to the
Cuban shores-is admirably adapted for
the purposes of the government. 1t is

woods and the climate is so healthful

NEW LINE TO THE ORIENT
Something New In the Shipment of
Wheat to the East.


PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 27.-Something
strictly new in the wheat exporting bus
mess has come to light by the charter of
the British steamship Glenturret to load
on Puget sound for Europe by ay of
the Orient aand Suez canal. The ship
ment, which goes out on the Glenturret,
will be the first that has ever gone to
Europe by way of the Orient. The
Glenturret, which is the first of regu-
lar line that will ply between the Pa
cific coast ports, will load on her first
outward trip about 5000 tons of wheat
and will fill up the remainder of her
5000 tons space with freight for the
Orient. She will touch at Yokohama,
Kobe, Hong. Kong, Manila, Singapore
and Colombo.
The Glenlochy, sister ship of the
Glenturret, now enroute from the Orient
to the sound to load wheat for Europe,
will probably return in the new service.
