CHINA IS WARNED.
Ordered Not TO Enter Into Any Secret
Alliances
NOTE BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT
The Chinese Government Was Noti.
fled Not to Enter Into Any Agree
ment Without Notice to Powers.

Washington, D. c., Special.-The
State Department made public a note
sent the Chinese minister on Febru-
ary 10, warning the Chinese govern
ment against entering into any pi
vate territorial or financial arrange
ments without the full knowledge OF
all the powers. The note is as follows:
"The preservation Of the territorial
integrity of China having been recog-
mzed By all the powers not engaged
In joint negotiation concerning the in
juries recently inflicted upon their
minister and nationals by certain off,
cials and subjects of the Chinese en-
pire, it is evidently advantageous to
China to continue the present interna-
ional understanding upon this sub
ject. 1t would be, therefore, unwise
and dangerous in the extreme for
China to make amy arrangement, or to
consider any proposition OF a private
nature involving the surrender Of Der
ritory or financial obligations by COZ
yention with any particular power,
and the United States government,
solely at the preservation OF China,
from the danger indicated, and the
conservation OF the largest and most
beneficial relations between the en-
pire and other countries IN accordance
with the principles set forth in its
circular noe OF July 8. 1900, and in a
purely friendly spirb. toward the
Chinese Empire and all the powers
now interested in the negotiations, de-
-sires TO express its sense OF the impro-
priety. inexpediency and even extreme
danger to the interests OF China or
considering any private territorial or
financial arrangements, at least
without the full knowledge and ap-
proTal OF all the powers now engaged
in negotiation.

PLAGUE IN
HONGKONG
Serious Condition
OF That Big
City.
AN EPIDEMIC
IS UNDER WAY
infected Rats Die Of Plague and
Infect Houses and Stores
Death Rate.

The Manila Times has the following;
The last reports received from Hong
kong indicate that that city is on the
verge of another serious plague cpl
demic, such as visited the port in 1894
and which was followed by recrudes-
cences in 1896 and 1897.
The last official report shows that
for the week ending May 4th there
were ninety-thr cases and ninety-two
deaths A study of the official reports
of the Hongkong Sanitary Board shows
and latterly rapid increase in the num-
Der of cases. Commencing with the week
ending January 30th, there were two
cases; this gradually increased up to
April goth, when there were twenty
four cases in the week. The week fol-
lowing that there We're sixty-five cases,
and the last week ninety-three.
Hongkong's population is approx
mately that of Manila, our census
showing about $50, 00O and their 252,Jt6.
1t is interesting, then, to note that last
weeks plague report for Manila shows
total of forty-one cases, less than half
of Hongkong's number. 1t is a matter
declared a quarantine against Manila,
while Manila has so far not observed
this necessity with the neighboring
port, but undoubtedly steps will be
taken at an early date.
That Hongkong is in serious danger
of terrible epidemic, is evidenced by
recent news in private correspondence.
Two of the ninety-three cases reported
for the week ending May 4th, were
Europeans. Both were employees in the
store of Watson & Co, druggists, who
employ many Chinese. One of these
has died, the other probably will. Just
before being taken with he plague the
latter wrote to friend in Manila, and
referred to the plague as follows:
I'VE have been stunk out last week
with load of dead rats: they get under
the floors and then peg out from plague,
and then they begin to talk"
| 1t is an established fact that rats are
the most effective carriers of plague
and when it gets among them there Is
practically little hope of averting an
| epidemic. AS the writer above describes
they die, and their rotting bodies diffuse
the atmosphere with the germs. Not
only this but the mosquitoes carry the
disease germ from the rat to the per-
son. 1t is the history of plague thai
when the rats begin to die in any num-
bers it is the signal for violent spread
1t is difficult to get rid of the rats
though every method of extinction II
communities has been tried. The
Manila Board of Health when the
plague first appeared, and ever since
has been using great quantities o.
rat poison for the purpose of keeping
the number down.
1t is an unquestionable fact that thu
Chinese brought the first plague t.
Manila, which, up to three or four years
ago was unknown here. Under thu
present circumstances the condition.
in Hongkong are viewed with serious
alarm in Manila, emphasizing strongl!
the necessity of strict quarantine.

MORE PORTO RIcANs.
Nearly 800 of Them Arrive at New
Orleans

NEW ORLEANS, May 2S-Another
load of Porto Ricans arrived here last
night on the way to Hawaii, there being
I'll women and 174 children and 800 men
in the party. The latest arrivals are in
far better condition than any that have
yet gone to Hawaii. Captain Dyer of the
California, who brought them, says that
when he left Ponce there were 1000 of the
natives ready and waiting there to leave
for. Hawaii as soon as the vessels could
take them.
The disposition to leave is unceasng
and the Hawaiian planters will have no
difficulty in securing the 5000 Porto Ri
can laborers they have arranged for.
More than half, or 5000, have already
sailed.
The Hawaiian Sugar Planters Assocfa-
ton has arranged with A. E. MELVILLE,
a native Porto Rican to settle in the ISL
and for a term of five years to act as
representative and correspondent of the
immigrants and keep them in touch with
their native country, as well as to settle
any differences that may arise.
A large number of Italians have recent
ly left Louisiana for Hawaii and have
proved satisfactory to the planters, but
1t has been found necessary to work the
Italians on different plantations from
those where the Porto Ricans work, the
Porto Ricans having a bitter hatred for
the Italians.

SOLDIERS OUT
FOR THEIR Honor"
Armed With Bricks They Look
for a General
Scrap.

About a dozen soldiers of the Forty
first Infantry, from the transport Buford,
made futile attempt to create riot on
Hotel street near Fort street last Sat
urday night, and but for the prompt and
cool-headed efforts of Lieutenant Leslie
of the Mounted Police Patrol serious re-
suits might have occurred.
Every one of this group of soldiers was
armed with a brick obtained from pile
near the saloon of Larry Dee. The men
were in a half-drunken condition and
were willing to follow a leader when
there was any prospect for a fight.
Early in the evening a soldier and one
of the engineers of the transport got into
an alteration. Epithets were applied by
each during the preliminaries and the
two men suddenly came together using
their fists. The engineer worsted the
soldier, battering his physiognomy and
putting it out of the soldiers mind to
be pugnacious for the rest of the night
The latter told some of his comrades Of
the fracas and the word was passed
along the street, which was well filed
with the returning soldiers, that the
"bcnor of their regiment was at stake. :"
Bricks were the weapons selected to de-
fend the regiments honor. The men
rushed down the street toward the cor
ner where the fight had taken place, but
lacked leader. When they arrived on
the scene they did not find the expected
enemy, but ran up against the police in
stead. The mounted officers saw the
bricks which the men carried under their
arms, and hands, and demanded that
they lay them down. Two or three re-
fused. Lieutenant Leslie took one of the
men and attempted to take the brick
from him by force. The soldier resisted
and in the scuffle which ensued the Off
Ger not only got the brick away from
him but knocked him down as well. That
ended the martial and riotous front of
the soldiers, who retreated in disorder
and mingled with the crowd.

a plurality of at least 10000 and the
figures very probably will exceed that

A LOGICAL ACCUSATION.

Citizens who have taken advantage
of the means provided by the Ohio
laws to protect themselves from the
evil effects of msmanagement of Ak

OF trying to wreck the credit of the

This accusation Is tempered, how
ever, by the fact that 1t is made by the
very tax eaters and politicians who are
responsible for the conditions which
n ave made interference by the citizens
necessary.
by the same logic which the tax
eaters and politicians employ to justl-
~ their accusations against the citi-
gems, "A man caught stealing or in the
commission of any other crime would
be warranted in demanding that he
be spared from punishment, for the
