LOOMS Is QE(ALLtD.
Gunboat Will Garry Him From
La Guayra to San Juan.
WILL TEACH VENEZUELA A LESSON
The Ministar's Future Action viii Depend
Altogether on His Conference With
Secretary Of State Hay.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Frank
Loomis, United States minister to Ven
ezuela, has been recalled, and will
soon be on his way to the United
States. The future of Minister
Loomis depends upon the conference
which will be held at the state de-
partment between Secretary Hay and
himself when the minister reaches
Washington. Until the secretary has
had an opportunity to talk freely with
Mr.. Loomis as to the conditions In
Venezuela, 1t cannot be known posi-
lively whether or not he will return
to his post. Mr.. Loomls has been the
object of bitter attacks by some Of
the Venezuelan newspapers, not solely
because of the asphalt controversy,
but also because he was charged with
making false reports to his govern.
ment touching the insurrectionary
government in Venezuela.
The minister did inform the state
department of the conditions as he
saw them, and the prospects of the
revolutionary movement. The Vene-
zuelan government could not have d.
rect knowledge of the minister's re-
port, but because they we're followed
by the appearance of three United
States warships In Venezuelan waters,
they came to the conclusion that the
minister reported as very menacing
and serious revolutionary movements
which the government organs were
trying their best to minimize. There
fore these papers lost no opportunity
of attacking Mr.. Loomis in print, and
have succeeded In making his lot un-
pleasant
It is only fair to state that the
Venezuelan charge here asserts posi-
lively tESt these attacks were made
by irresponsible newspapers and that
the government was not behind them
and deprecated them. If Mr.. Loomis
confirms this view, and he cares to
return to Caracas, he will be per
mitted to do so.
There is no present intention oi
sending the North Atlantic squadron
to Venezuela, for, as above stated
the government cannot decide how
this matter should be treated unit
Mr.. Loomis has been personally con
suited The squadron, which is al
Culebra island, engaged in maneu
vers, is about to head north in few
days. One or two of the vessels will
be sent first to Kingston, Jamaica. bu
the stay will be temporary, and tnC
whole squadron will soon By undeI
way for Tomkinsville.
It was decided that in the interes
of a quick passage to the United
States, Mr.. Loomis should be carried
by the Scorpion to San Juan, Porte
Rico. there to take one Of the regula
merchant steamers for New York. Th'
officials did not know positively wheI
the minister would leave Venezuela
but at the navigation bureau it wa,
stated that htere was no good reasol
why the Scorpion should not sail to
day from La Guayra, If Mr.. Looms
| is on hand.

The Panama Waterway.

Washington, April 1.-THE conditions
under which the Colombian govern
ment will consent to the transfer of
the French concession for the con-
struction of the Panama canal to this
government, should the latter select
that route for an isthmian waterway,
are before the state department for
its consideration. Senior Silvela. the
minister from Colombia, called on
Secretary Hay today and left with him
a memorandum bearing on the subject,
This memorandum, being of a conf
Dental nature, the minister refused
to discuss it's features while the matter
is under consideration by the state
department The French concession
originally expired in 1904, but it has
been extended to 1910.

EFFECT OF CAPTURE.
Insurgent Leaders on Luzon Are Ex'
pected to Surrender.

peCted TO ouTTenueT'
MANILA, April 1.-Aguinaldo is
now detained in a comfortable room
in a wing of the Malacanan palace.
He is in charge of Captain Benjamin
H. Randolph and Lieutenant Gilbert
A. Youngberg, of battery G, Third
artillery.
When Aguinaldo was captured he
wore a plain dark blue suit with the
coat closely buttoned up at the throat
and wide white helmet with leather
band. He takes his capture philo-
sophically. He is generally cheerful,
but sometimes moody. His health
during the past year has been very
good. It is uncertain what attitude
he will now assume. Certain visitors
are permitted to see Aguinaldo, but
newspaper interviews with the pris'
oner are not allowed.
Since Aguinaldo has been domiciled
at the Malacanan palace persons not
provided with special permits have
been denied admission to the grounds.
General Trias, the commander OF the
insurgent forces in Southern Luzon,
who recently surrendered to the Amer
lean authorities, visited Aguinaldo,
and told the latter why he had sur
rendered. Trias said that a continu-
ance of armed opposition to the United
States was unjustifiable and ruinous;
that the independence of the Philip
pines was impossible, and that the Fill
ipinos had better accept liberty, pros
perity and progress under American
rule.
The capture of Aguinaldo, follow
ing the surrender Of General Trias,
will probably occasion the surrender
of the insurgent leader Malavar in
Batangas province, lLuzon; Bellarmino,
in Albay province, Luzon, and Luc-
ban, in the island of Samar within a
month. Many people visited the resi-
dence OF General and Mrs. Funston on
the Gale Rer. in the suburb of Ermita.
The general modestly declined to talk.
Mrs. Funston was evidently the hap
piest woman in the Philippine islands
General Funston has been recon-
mended for the highest practicable re-
ward. 1t is believed here that he will
receive an appointment of brigadier
general in the regular army.

ULTlMATUM TO CHINA.
Russian Threat Unless Manchurlan
Treaty Is Signed. o..

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Informa-
tion has reached here to the effect
that the Russian government, being
seriously perturbed by the course OF
China In not signing the Manchurian
agreement, largely because OF the
protest made by the several powers
has conveyed a distinct and unmis-
taxable intimation to China that II
this course is persisted in there may
be an interruption OF diplomatic re-
lations between Russia and China
and a termination OF the present in
tercourse between them, This Is lit
tie short of an ultimatum that China
must sign or take the consequences OF
a termination of her friendly relations
with Russia.
To what extent the United States
will take cognizance Of Russia's dis
position to enforce the signing OF the
agreement has not yet been made ap-
parent. It appears to be the policy OF
the Chinese authorities to consider
this as a subject which concerns the
powers quite as much as 1t does China.
The matter has become further COM
plicated by reports reaching Wash
ington that the Chinese authorities
are divided on the course to be pur-
sued some of the most influential in
cluding Ii Hung Chang, urging that
acquiescence be given to the Russian
proposals, while others insist on re-
jecting the agreement. The attitude
Of Ii Hung Chang is accounted for by
his wellknown friendliness for Rus
sian interests. In this case, however
there appears to be arrayed against
him the strong influence of the south
ern viceroys, Chan Chi Tung and Lai
Kun VI who oppose the signing Of
the treaty.
The reports reaching here this
morning showed that the agreement
had not yet been signed Its status
is most peculiar. The time within
which 1t was to be signed expired last
Tuesday, but on that day Yang Yu,
the Chinese minister, fell in the st,
Petersburg legation and hurt his head
so that he was unable to transact bus
mess. This misfortune caused much
amusement here, and some irritation
in certain quarters, as it had been
recognized as timely means OF
avoiding a direct action on the sub
ject.
It Is not clear TO what extent the
Russian intimation has gone, but in
any event it gives an urgency to
China's course which has not been
presented thus far.

REWARD FOR TITUS.
Brave Musician of the Fourteenth May
Be Sent to West Point.

WASHINGTON, April IA petition
signed by all officers serving with the
Fourteenth infantry regiment has
been sent to Adjutant General Corbin,
requesting the appointment of Musi-
clan Calvin P. Titus, company E. Four
teenth Infantry, the first American sol
dier to enter Pekin during the recent
troubles in China, cadet-at-large to
the military academy. The petition
says:
During his service Musician Titus
has proved himself to be a trustwor-
thy, intelligent, sober, brave and thor
ough soldier. On August IA, 1900,
at Pekin, China, he was the first
American to scale the wall of the Chi
nese city and enter Pekin. On the
following day, while engaged in the
fight in the Imperial city, he received
a slight wound. His meritorious con-
duct deserves recognition, and it is
believed that if given an appoint
ment to West Point, and commits
sion upon graduation, Musician Titus
will make an excellent officer"

MUCH MISERY IN FRANCE.
Result OF Dock Strike at Mar

PARIS, April 3.--The masters per
sist in their refusal to discuss a day
of eight hours, which has all along
been regarded by the strikers as the
crucial point in the dispute. In spite
of the increasing number of freight
dockers now working, quantities OF per-
ishable goods lie rotting on the docks.
Twenty-one steamers are awaiting
discharge.
The general strike, while 1t lasted
and the continued suspension Of
work, has done enormous injury to
the commerce and industry OF Mar
seilles. The calculations show an in
dustrial loss of some 250O0,0OO francs
while the men have lost 100000
francs in wages. A curious lllustra-
tion of the bitterness which the strike
has engendered between the men and
masters is seen in the fact that the
strikers instructed their delegates to-
give formal notification to the minis
ter of finance of frauds in the oil seed
trade. pointing out that oil seeds
were imported in bags, which the Gus
tom officers have not been in the
habit of opening, with the result that
articles subject to a much higher I'M

HAMMONTON, N. j., April g.
One of the most extensive forest
fires that has visited this section of
the state is raging in the big woods
north of this city. The fire reached
a point Just east of the town of Wins
low last night, and for several hours
it was feared the town would be
wiped out. Men, women and children
fought the flames and succeeded by
back firing in turning the flames to
the north of the town. While the
men threw up trenches to keep the
fire away, women and children car
ried their household goods to places
of safety and are guarding them, as
change in the wind is feared.
Several farm buildings, about 5000
acres of big timber and thousands OF
cords of wood have been consumed.
Many narrow escapes Of the firefight-
ers have been reported.

fire started. Earlier in the evening
an attempt was made to dynamite
the pottery of the Robinson Merrill
Company. The watchman discovered
sticks of dynamite placed in various
parts of the main building before the
fuses had been ignited. AT other fac
tories oil-soaked waste was found in
various sections of the buildings.

Consent Would Forfeit Charter.
NEW YORK, April 3.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says;
While M. Hutin, president of the
French Panama canal, has been await
ing the participation of Colombia in
the negotiations for the sale of the
Panama canal to the United States,
M. Bruna Barila, formerly an engineer
of the company, who says he repre-
sents some of the stockholders, has
indicated to the Isthmian canal COM
mission that the company Is willing
to sell it's concessions and property.
M. Barila will leave in few days for
France. He has been in Washington
for several days. M. Hutin has seen
M. Barila, and the two have talked
over the situation.
NJ Barila has represented to Rear
Admiral Walker, president of the
Isthmian canal commission, that M
Hutin is to be displaced from the of
fee of president of the French com
pany. 1t is learned, however that M
Hutin was advised only a few days
ago of his reelection to the presi
dency, showing that he is to be re
tanned for another year. and that
majority of the stockholders are sat
isfied with his policy.
M. Hutin has contended that under
the terms of the concession held by
the company, the grant would be sub
ject to forfeit from the moment nego
tiations began for its sale, unless sucf
negotiations had the approval of the
Colombian government. 1t was, there
fore impossible for him to submit &
