Returns to New York After an Al.
sence Of 26 Years.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-After az
absence from these waters of 26 years.
the famous old warship Hartford is

cisco, until it was decided to remodel
her and fit her out for service as a
training ship. The vessel is now on E
training cruise, with crew of 4SG
men and boys, most of them appren'
tices. She will remain at the Brooklyn
yard for week, undergoing some re-
pairs, and then will resume her cruise.
The Hartford sailed from San Fran.
cisco about year ago. Her cruise ex.
tended to Boston. She left that port in
July of last year on another cruise 60

Belgium, France and Portugal. From
European ports she went to the West
Indies. While there she was ordered
to Venezuela. Returning from South

port. When the Hartford leaves here
she will go on another European and
West Indian cruise, returning to
Hampton Roads on October l.

DOUBLE EXPLOSION.
Serious Accident in a New PennsyI.
vania Mine.

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa, March 28.-
The first mine explosion to occur in
the new Klondike region of Fayette
county happened today. One man was
killed instantly, five will die. and 10
are burned and crushed so terribly
that it is doubtful if they will recover.
The body of the dead man is miss.
ing. The injured men have been
brought to the Cottage state hospital.
AS a result of the explosion, the mine
is on fire. The cause of the explosion
was an accumulation of gas in the
heading of the Gates NINE one of the
new mines opened up this winter by
the American Steel & Wire Company.
The Gates plant is located just
across the Monongahela river from
Masontown. When the explosion oc.
group of 16 miners had gathered in a
cross entry about 600 feet from the
bottom of the shaft and so feet from
the face, awaiting the discharge of
blast. The charge of powder was put
into the blast as usual and touched of
by Michael GOble, the blaster In the
meantime pocket of gas had accumu.
lated at the face and gradually drifted
out toward the heading. The same in.
slant the fuse was touched off there
was a binding flash which suddenly
filled the entry in which the miners
had taken refuge. There were two ex.
plosions. The first was so terrific that
it left the men dazed and stiffened;
then there was another rush of air,
bringing with it second puff of gas
and then another explosion.

MUCH EXCITEMENT IN RIO DE JANElRo
High Officers in the Navy and Army Involved
Assassination Of President SaIIee

NEW YORK, March PA dispatch
to the Herald from Rio Janeiro says:
Great excitement prevails here
over the arrest of Admiral Custodic.
Jose MellO and others, on account of
the discovery of mOnarchist plot
through the suicide of Baron de Bur
sal. Extraordinary precautions are
Icing taken by the government to pre-
vent any outbreak. Apprehension cen
ters about the navy. The war vessels
are being closely guarded, as 1t is be-
teved that the officers are not quite
trustworthy.
Details of the plot which Baron de
Buigal revealed to the authorities have
been revealed. 1t was the purpose of
those concerned, it is declared, to give
the signal for the outbreak by the as
sassiHation of President CampOs
Sales. During the excitement that
followed, the monarchist adherents in
tae army and navy were to take pos
session of the city and hold the gov
eminent offices. The affairs of the
state were to be intrusted to a trium-
virate composed of Admiral Mello,
Marshal Canturia and Counsellor La
Fayette Pereria. Admiral Mello was
quietly removed from this city, as it
was feared that his presence would
cause disturbances He was conveyed
to Cobias island where he is held in
the custody of Admiral Proenca.

Where the Capture Was Made.

The province of Isabella, where the
capture of Aguinaldo occurred, is on
the island of Luzon, about 200 miles
northeast of Manila, and about Is
miles north of Baler, on the eastern
coast, which place was made memora-
BILE by the capture of Lieutenant Gill
more and his party from the gunboat
Yorktown, in April, 1899. Isabella
province is wild and mountainous, es.
pecially along the coast, where the
high range known as Gran Cordillera
Oriental extends for 100 miles or more
from north to south, the highest points
of the range being but few miles
from the shore. Rugged trails. in some
places being but foot or two in width,
lead across the mountains, frequently
crossed by rushing streams, and where
these overflow their banks, the trails
are waist deep in mud. 1t was to this
uninviting district that General Fun
stan and his small band went short
time ago. 1t was part of the island
that had never before been visited by
American troops.

OBJECT NEW SCHOOL LAW.
Teachers Deem Change in Time for
Making Contracts an Injustice.

OLYMPIA, Wash, March 2S.-The
by the legislature toward the close Of
the session, has begun to dawn on the
states educators, and it cannot be said
that they are favOrably impressed with
it. The bill amends the state school
code in several important particulars,
and went into effect Immediately upon
it's approval by the governor.
Prior to that time school elections
were held on the first Saturday in
May. The new law provides that they
shall occur on the first Saturday in
elected officers shall take their posi-
lions the first Monday in June, and
that they are to employ the teachers
for the ensuing year. The old law gave
the retiring board the right to employ
the teachers for the coming year, and
this is where the howl" will be raised.
1t has been the custom to employ
teachers as early in the year as posi-.
ble-sometimes in February. In the
event that teacher was not success.
full in securing position from one
board, the early reelection made it
possible for him to look elsewhere.
Now all this will be changed. because
the June election will force boards
of directors to make their selections at
about the same time. Already com.
plant of the injustice worked by the
new law has begun to be made to the
state superintendent Office, but that
o1ticial is powerless to remedy matters.

GREAT BRITAIN PROTESTS
Against Removal Of Corea Of Col
lector Of Customs.

YOKOHAMA. March 27-Advices
from Seoul announce that the Corean
government has dismissed from office
McLeavy Brown, director general of
Corean customs, and that Great Brit
ain is protesting against his dismissal
The dismissal of Mr.. McLeavy
Brown from the post Of director gen.
eral of Corean customs is regarded in
London as another score for Russia.
In 1895 and again in 1893 Russian pres.
sure was exerted to procure his re.
moval. In the latter case he was only
reinstated after a British squadron
had moved to Chemulpo. AS recently
as few months ago Russia strongly
opposed an attempt by Mr.. Brown to
raise loan for the Corean govern.
ment to purchase shares in the rail.
way from Seoul to Fusan. AS a result
OF her opposition, the negotiations for
the loan failed.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of
the Daily Mail asserts that M. Pa.
voff Russian minister at Seoul, has
protested against Corea taking for.
eigners into the government service
with the exception of Russians, and
demanded the appointment of the lat.
ter. but Corea seemed determined with
the help of the powers to defend her
integrity.

TORNADO IN THE NORTH.
Villages Near Kalamazoo, Mich, Were
Wrecked

KALAMAZOO. Mich, March "a
tornado struck the town of Pavilion, a
small village 25 miles southeast of
Kalamazoo, which wrecked number
Of houses, uprooted trees, tore down
tele graph poles AID did much other
damage. A woman who was i'll in one
of the houses blown down is reported
fatally hurt, and many others were in
jured. The home of Noah Trip was
rolled over for a distance of five rods,
and Mrs. Trip was completely buried
under the debris. She was found lying
under the stove, and sustained injuries
which may result fatally. The house
caught fire and was completely ruined
The storm passed through Vicksburg
and SCOTS Station, both small towns,
doing great damage. Nearly every
building in the path of the storm was
wrecked. Large orchards were de-
stroyed and fences are down every.
where. At Indian Lake the wind
formed waterspout in crossing that
body Of water, and large district on
the east shore was inundated.

POSITION OF CHILE.
She is Determined to Keep Tacna and
africa.

NEW YORK, March 27.-Chile's
purpose to retain the provinces of Tao.
ma and africa, notwithstanding the pro-
tests of Peru and Bolivia, is formally
acknowledged in an official statement
OF the Chilean case communicated to
the United States and other powers.
says the Washington correspondent of
the Herald. The announcement of this
purpose is coupled with charges Of
bad faith made by Chile against Peru
and Bolivia. These charges are coun-
ter to similar allegations made by the
two last named countries against
Chile.
Chile seeks to prevent any interven-
ton on the part of the United States
in the South American dispute. Peru
and Bolivia are utilizing every chan.
mel to bring pressure to bear upon the
administration to induce it to take &C.
ton. The president has definitely de-
cded. however, that he will not take
action unless all three powers request
it. In view Of the latest declaration
made by Chile it is apparent that she
will suffer no outside check in her pur.
pose to acquire definite sovereignty
over the provinces she has controlled
since the war 20 years ago.

STORM IN COLORADO.
Cattlemen Have Already Suffered Loss
Traffic Is Blocked.

DENVER. Colo. March PA storm
has prevailed all over Colorado today,
in some places reaching the proper
tions of blizzard. Snow has fallen
to a depth from three to 10 inches.
The storm still continues with sever
ity in the mountains, blocking rail-
roads and traffic generally. Already
cattlemen have suffered loss. and fears
are entertained that the loss will be
greatly increased before the storm is
ended. All trains from the East are
delayed by the storm in Kansas. Reg
ular trains on the Colorado & South
ern between here and Leadville have
been abandoned, as the cuts are filled
with snow. On the western slope the
fall of snow has been heaviest. In
some places it is 10 inches on the level
and much deeper on the mountains.
Reports come from Lamar Colo. that
the storm is driving the cattle along
with it, and undoubtedly many will
die from exposure. Reports from the
vicinity of Casper Wyo., show similar
weather conditions there.

CRIME TO WITHDRAW.
Reign of Terror Will Follow Our Evae.
uation Of Cuba.

Reign OF error VIII rOIIoW OuT eVdC'
uation Of Cuba.
NEW YORK, March 29.-Represent-
alive Vespasian Warner, of Illinois,
who has just returned from an ex-
tended tour through Cuba, believes
that the constitutional convention will
accept the Plat amendment, says a
Washington special to the World.
Continuing, Mr.. Warner said:
1--WE must, of course, turn the is
land over to the Cubans, but it is a
crime against humanity to withdraw
at this time. When our troops leave
the island you will witness reign
of lawlessness that will startle the
world and compel us, in the name of
justice, to take matters into our own
hands. The Cubans will sign any
thing or do anything to get us away
from their property, and when they
have the reins in their own hands,
you can expect the worst.
From what l can learn, they will
assess everybody with any money and
have a division of the spoils. They
will drive all Spaniards and American
sympathizers from the island, and for
brief period will revel in loot. Law
and order will become mOckery, and
a state of anarchy will reign.
1T is foOlishness to talk of the Gu
bans governing themselves at this
time Or for years to come. The island
must become ours eventually, and it
seems 4 shame to undo all the prog
ress made in two years. AS 1t will
be- we shall have to intervene within
90 days and set up a prOtectOrate again
to begin the work of reconstruction
anew"

FLOODS IN NEW YORK STATE.
Much Damage Caused to Property by
Hiuh Water.


NEW YORK. March 29.-From many
parts of the state comes news tonight
of damage by flood. The waters of
rivers and the smaller tributary
streams are reported as overflowing
their banks, causing widespread in
undations which threaten to destroy
much property before they begin to
subside. Up to midnight the only ac-
cident in which any one was injured
was that due to the washing out of
culvert near Norwich ditching a Del
aware & Lackawanna train. In the
accident three people were slightly
hurt.
This rush of water which is swell
ing the streams is due to heavy rains
and the consequent melting of the
snow which has lain for months and
has been deeper than usual in the
central and western portions of the
state. The Mohawk river, swollen by
torrents OF water flowing from the
snow-covered Adironaacks, is higher
than at any time in almost 40 years,
and much fear was expressed at Utica
during the day that the rising waters
would interfere with railroad traffic
before tomorrow, but tonight's reports
show that the high point is reached.
and water is receding. The waters of
the Mohawk carried the ice out of the
river at Schenectady. and the pressure
thus relieved has secured Schenectady
so far from serious damage. The
water has risen SO high, however, that
Little Falls reports New York Cen
tarl trains being run over the West
Shore between Frankfort and Utica.
The Genessee valley is aflOat In
many places, the Genessee and it's
tributaries not having been so full in
five years. A rise of Is inches in IL
hours is an indication of the rapid
rate at which the water is flowing into
Rochester and the adjacent villages.
Much railroad property is already
under water.

ENGLAND CALLS A HALT.
Warns China Against Signing Any
Private Treaty,


WASHINGTON, March 29.-The
British government has protested
against China making convention
with any power touching territorial or
financial matters until the present
troubles in that country ale conclud.
ed. The fact of the British protest
was made known here for the first
time today by dispatch from one of
the foreign officers of Europe. 1t says
the protest was made through Sir
Ernest Satow, the British minister at
Pekin. 1t does not state when the rep
RESERVATIONS were made, but from the
TACT that the dispatch was received in
Washington today it is taken that the
protest occurred within the last day
or two. Although the Russian agree
ment is not specifically referred to, it
is said to be clear that the British
action is directed against the Russian
agreement. The language appears to
be similar to that used by Secretary
Hay, in the American protest. The
effect of the British action is to place
the United States, Japan and Great
Britain in formal opposition to the
signing of a convention by China with
any power pending the settlement of
the Chinese troubles. The course OF
Great Britain is the more significant
from the fact that that government
and Germany have written alliance
relating to Chinese affairs.
The concurrence of these protests
probably explains why the Manchur-
ian agreement has not been signed.
There was no definite information re-
ceived here today at the state depart
ment or at any of the foreign en-
bassies as to whether the agreement
had been signed or rejected. There
was something of stir in diplomatic
quarters over the report coming from
official sources that the United States
was considering the ACCESSIBILITY of ad.
dressing Russia directly on the sub
ject. Heretofore, the American objec.
tions to the Manchurian agreement
have been addressed TO China. Copies
were furnished the Russian authori.
ties. Several of the foreign repre-.
sentatives advised their governments
that this step was contemplated by
the United States, but there is no of.
fetal information available as to how
far the consideration of the move has
proceeded.

Goldsborouoh's Trial Trip.

the day for the official trial trip of
the torpedo-boat destroyer Goldsb0r.
ough, which was built at Portland. The
department officials have not yet an.
nounced just where the trip will take
place.
There Is no doubt that the boat will
more than make the required time OF
80 knots. She has done some speedy
running upon the Sound that has made
1t apparent that she will make fine
showing when she makes the trial
trip that will determine whether or
not she will be admitted into the
navy as one OF the defenders of Uncle
Sam.

A NEW PHASE,
America May Be Deprived Of Voice
in the Settlement,

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-While
attention has been centered upon the
crisis connected with the Manchurian
agreement. an entirely new and i'm
pOrtant phase of the Chinese question
has been presented by the action of
the ministers at Pekin in agreeing
yesterday to submit to their various
governments whether articles s and 8
of the Chinese protocol shall be car
ried out by the military authorities Of
all the powers interested in China, or
only by those powers who are cOntinu-
ing to take part in the application of
these articles. The action of the min
listers has been communicated to sew
eral foreign embassies and legations
here, and doubtless Mr.. Rockhill has
made or will make known the same
facts. The articles in question are as
f,~'ows:
ARTICLE 8. The destruction of the
forts which might obstruct free COM
munication between Pekin and the sea.
"Article 8. The right to maintain
occupation of certain points, to be de-
termined by i'm understanding among
the powers. in order to obtain open
communication between the capital
and the sea-"
These two questions appear to in
volve territorial affairs, and it may be-
come of considerable moment whether
the determination Of such affairs is to
be left with the military authorities of
all the powers or only with such pow
ers as continue their military forces
in China.
In the latter case, the United States
government may be quietly but effec-
tually deprived of all voice in the set
Element of so much of the Chinese
question as relates to the determina-
tion of the strength of the military
forces to be continued there in the flu
ture by the powers. 1t is also possible
that an affirmative decision which
would exclude the United States from
participation In the discussion of this
important point might be extended to
put us out of China altogether.
