BETTER STUFF THAN FUNSTON

Long OF Kansas relative 10 the appoint
ment of Frederick Funston to a briga-
der ge%neralship in the regular army.
Mr.. Long has verified the interview
for the Associated Press:
When l read Of Funston's heroic
deed" says Mr.. Long, Il went straight
to General Corbin's office and said:
"'Well, general, you see what Fun
ston has done?'
Yes, L have seen it, replied Cor
bin, not pleasantly.
We'll l said, don't you think that
you ought to make Funston a brigadier
general in the regular army?'
NO said Corbin, he has done
nothing to warrant that
But l insisted, it seems to me
he has done a very daring thing; that
he has almost concluded the war
Mr.. Long said Corbin, I am MAX

Funston every day. Funston is a boss

has become a great school. We want
teachers for h~rioadier generals. we
want men who can teach and not those

But the president may want to
appoint him. | said.
The president can do so, of course,
said General Corbin, but it was plain
to be seem adds Mr.. Long. that the
president would never do it on the
recommendation of General Corbin.' "

Rios POPULATION IN DOUBT.
Sanitary Authorities Credit Jsneiro With
193,0G0.

WASHINGTON, April S.-A wide
discrepancy between the population
figures given by the statistical author
tiles of Rio Janeiro and by the sani-
tary authorities there is called to the
attention of the marine hospital ser
vice in the annual report of Acting
Assistant Surgeon H%avelburg at that
port. He says the sanitary authorities
make the present population of Rio
Janeiro 793, 900. while the statistical
authorities make it 431 nc.
The impression prevails that Rio has
a larger population than that shown
by the census, but not SO large as es-
timated by the sanitary authorities.
The figures Of the sanitary authorities
show a total mortality during 1900 of
Is per cent, against over 20 per cent
the previous year. The number Of still
births is equivalent to II per 1000 of
the total births, a remarkable show
ing. The number Of deaths has ex-
ceeded the births. tuberculosis fur
nished almost one-fifth of the total
mortality.

A CRISIS IS AVERTED
Russia Gives Sweeping Assurance of
Treating With China Unsel6shly.
UNITED STATES HAS THE PLEDGE.
tion from Ambassador Cassini-It Rem
ders Less Alarming Former Reports
Regarding Military Activity.

WASHINGTON, April 6.--The Unit
ed States government has received a
communication from the government
of Russia of unusual conditions. 1t
bears on conditions In China and par
ticularly those relating to Manchuria.
The document has created. a profound
ly favorable impression and at the
State department it is looked upon as
the most salutary ven that has oc-
Cured for several months in the east
ern situation. Secretary Hay received
| the communication from Count Cas-
| SIM last night and communicated it to
| the president.
Although the terms of the Russian
communication are withheld, it Is
known that Russia takes occasion to
give strong assurances Of her disin-
terested purposes throughout her deal
ings with China. AS to Manchuria, it
Is stated that Russia's curse never
has varied In the determination to
leave that province as an integral part
OF China and to retire the Russian
nit. But. as a mare signal evidence
o. Russia's purposes and as an evil
dence Of the empeTor's devotion to the
principle OF peace, assurances OF a def
mite and satisfactory character are
now given as to the execution OF these
purposes. The belief is held in official
quarters that the assurances of Russia
are SO sweeping as completely to avert
the threatened crisis in Manchuria.
The Russian communication is the
more significant, coming at a moment
when the press advices from Europe
asserted that Russia was collecting all
army OF SOC, 900 men for the purpose
OF holding Manchuria without refer
enc TO the desire of the other powers.
There is no doubt that Russia has a
large military force III Manchuria, so
that had the car determined to hold
the province he has the military es-
Enlistment already on the ground pre-
pared to maintain occupancy.
To the officials in Washington one
o. the most gratifying features OF Rus
sia's action is that it is responsive to
Secretary Hays note Of March 1 last.
This note had been previously COM
municated to the Chinese minister at
Washington and advised him that the
United States viewed as inexpedient
and dangerous to the interests of China
the conclusion Of any private territor-
iai or financial agreement. A copy of
this communication Was sent to the
United States ambassador at st. Pet
ersburg, Mr.. C~harleEnagne Tower, and
the Russian ambassador at Washing
ton also was made aware of its con-
tents. While the note never was ad-
dressed directly to Russia Vet by the
foregoing means i came fully to the
attention Of the Russian authorities.

PUZZLE TO UNCLE SAM
Russia's Alleged Severance Of Ties With
Chinese Government.
fan. REACHING RESULTS FEARED
Looks Like Breach of Diplomatic Rola-
tions Between the Nations-WasbiDg-
ton Authorities Admit squiers Cabled
. Conundrum, hut Give No Details.

WASHINGTON, April s.-The adj
ministration is perplexed over a cable
dispatch received yesterday from Mr..
Squires, now in Pekin, in charge Of the
American legation in Pekin. This dis
patch, according to a publication today,
said that the Russian minister refuses
to receive official communications from
Chinese commissioners" which carried
the Inference that the diplomatic re-
latiOns between the two countries in
terested would be broken off.
The officials are very reticent about
the matter and decline to affirm or deny
whether it is correctly stated. They
will go only SO far as to admit the re-
ceipt OF 4 dispatch, whose purport was
not clearly understood, for which rea-
son it vas not given to the press for
publication. Another cablegram which
reached here today from Mr.. Rockhill,
the special commissioner of the United
States, engaged in conducting the peace
negotiations, made no reference to the
alleged refusal of the Russians to re-
ceive official communications from the
Chinese commissioners. AS Mr.. Rock
hill is in a position to know promptly
what develops between the ministers
and the peace commissioners it is be-
lieved he would be prompt to report a
step of such fa~r-reaching importance
as the published dispatch from Mr..
Squiers would indicate.
At the Russian embassy no informa-
ton on the subject was obtainable to-
night. 1t was said there that no COM
munications had come from the foreign
office at st. ePtersburg since the Rus
sian note of several days since, which
declared that governments intention
regarding Manchuria, a copy of which
was handed to Secretary Hay. The i'm
preston of the officials at the embassy
was that 10 special significance at
tached to the Squiers dispatch. Ac-
cording to them, it simply meant that
the Russians had discontinued further
negotiations at this time on the Man
churian question alone, which, for the
time, is held in allegiance. This was
in accord with the spirit of the official
publications of the government on this
matter, which asserted that, remaining
faithful to its original and oft-repeated
political program regarding Manchu-
ria, 1T will quietly await the further
course of events" Absolutely no con- !
Germ was felt at the embassy ON the
subject, the officials apparently being
perfectly satisfied hat the communica- !
tons referred to relate entirely to the
question.
In other diplomatic circles the report i
failed to receive credence, on the gen.
eral theory that the interests CT the
government in China We're too /!
great and far-reaching to permit the !
of diplomatic relations at
this time, when substantial unity on
many of the matters Of negotiation
so promising.

Live Stock MaIady in Europe.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April S.-The
officials OF the agricultural department
are closely watching all reports from
abroad regarding the extent of the foot
and mouth disease, a fatal malady that
is raging among the live stock in al
most every country throughout Europe.
For the last three years the outbreak
has been general on the European con-
tinent and the reports constantly ar
irving from various European points
do not indicate any dimunition.

men against hoping for an early term
nation Of hostilities or believing the
stories that the Beers are tired Of war,
says:
ut becomes daily more evident that
the Beers intend to fight to a finish.
Many are surrendering, but they are
men of no standing. The real fighting
men are still on commando and, al
though recently successful British &C
tions tend to bring the close nearer,
it must be admitted that the Beers
must be completely crushed before a
general surrender is probable"
