Protecting American Missionaries in

NEW YORK, March 2O.-A special to

stands ready with troops to protect
American missionaries in Shang Tung

1t was further ascertained that the

ed an expeditlonary force from Riao
Chou to Ichou-Fu for the protection Of
American missionaries. This force sup
pressed the rioters at Ichou-Fu, ar
rested the ring leaders who have been
punished and taught the anti-foreign
crusaders a Statutory lesson.
The state department has been in
formed that the German government
contemplates another expeditionary
force TO the interior of Shan Tung,
where most Of the American missions
are located, but 1t fully understands
the Willingness Of the German author

that the German governor at Kiao
Chou has standing instructions to take
such measures for the protection not
only OF German missionaries and other
interests in Shan Tung province, as
may seem necessary, but Of American
missionaries as we'll
Because Of the peculiar relation in
which Germany stands to the province
of Shan Tung, by reason of her acqui-
sitiOn of Kioa Chou and of certain
property rights in the prOmOntory, she
is particularly DESTROYS of preserving
order in the territory.
The fact that Germany dispatched
troops to Ichou-Fu to protect American
missionaries, has never hitherto been
published. The offer of Germany to
send force to this point was received
with pleasure by the authorities, who
do not contemplate any designs what
ever on Chinese territory, who are con-
sequently very glad to assent to the
German proposition.
Minister WI Ting Fang, the dlplo-
matte representative of China here, is
inclined to look upon the reports of
trouble in China as exaggerated.

MGR. sBARRETI WELL LIKED.
The Cuban Opposition to Him Is Rap
idly EvBporating.

HAVANA, March 2.-Monsignor Sbar-
Teu, the newly appointed Bishop of Ha-
vana, has appointed Cuban priest as his
secretary. Already the opposition to the
new Bishop seems to be evapOrating The
last meeting held to further a manifesto
ton against him turned out to be a fizzle.
The speakers, who had been very bitter
against him before his coming said they
liked his appearance and generally spoke
well of him. The impression is growing
that MonsignoT Sbarreti is working for the
best interests Of the Church in Cuba and
it is doubtful If any more protests will be
made against him.
The recent fall in the price of sugar has
made money drug in the Havana mar
ket All the banks have an overplus of
cash. One concern has in its vaults SO ,000,-
600 which 1t expected to use in moving
the sugar crop. Planters are now holding
off for higher prices and the crop is not
being moved. Exchange in New York has
consequently gone up.
The newspapers freely discuss the com
ing visit OF Secretary OF War Root. The
"Patria" says 1t does not know why he is
coming and adds that President Mckinley
could get all needed information from
Governor General Wood. in whom the Gu
bans have perfect confidence.

drag out Mr.. Root when the Joint resoIu-
ton of Congress is fulfilled. If he evades
the question the American people should
make il disagreeable for the Administra-
ton. La Lucha" thinks the event is i'm
portant. 1t urges Mr.. Root to ignore the
officeholders In his consultations and to
confer only with the mercantile class
planters. and Cubans, who are real
source of strength.

CIRCULATION STATEMENT.
SATURDAY, MARCH 3. 1900.
The Territory Of Hawaii.

In happy contrast TO the callous bru-
tality which marks the attitude Of this
Government toward Porto Rico, the Sen
ate has passed the bill organizing the Ter
ritory Of Hawaii and giving the people Of
that American possession the rights which
are already theirs under the Constitution
Of the United States. Hawaii is TO have
Governor, a Legislature a Judiciary, and
8 Delegate in Congress, and is not to suffer
devastation under the blighting curse OF
Dingleyism.
The bill IS now before the House OF Rep
resentatives. and. il is to be hoped, will
speedily pass in that body and become law.
Whether it will or not Of course depends
upon circumstances. II it should happen
that any of its provisions were offensive TO
any of the trusts, depended on for heavy
campaign contributions. the chances are
that il will be hung up until after the
Presidential election. Otherwise, it .is
probable that Mr.. Hanna viii issue the
necessary order and Messrs. Henderson,
Payne, Cannon. and Dalzell viii shout for
it until their faces are a rich Kanaka color.
II all goes well We shall be very glad TO
Join in welcoming The new Territory, which
Is already an integral part Of the United
States in common with Porto Rico. the
Philippines. New Mexico Arizona, and the
District Of Columbia.
