New York, March 1S.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
If the view of the administration is

ident will obtain discretionary authority
to acquire either the Nicaragua or the
Panama canal route. On this account
the stock of the Panama canal has risen

NO MONEY. TO LOAN

HAVANA UNDER CUBAN RULE IS

New York, March 1S.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says:
1t may be put down as almost cer-
tainty that Havana will not be severed
this spring or summer. Owing to the
present unsettled state of affairs it is
impossible for the city to negotiate a
loan. Capitalists who have been Offer
ing to lend the city money are now said
to be viewing the situation with a great
deal of timiity, and there appears to be
no doubt that the city will be unable to
negotiate the loan for several months
The committee which was appointed by
Gen. Wood to ascertain what source Of
revenue would be set aside by the city to
meet the interest and form a sinking
fund for a loan Of $4,000 900 has practi-
cally reported that there is not a source
of revenue to the city of Havana which
could be sst asil for such purpose. The
members of the city council appreciate
the fact that if they could succeed in ne
gotiating a loan they could not receive
the money on as good terms now as they
can when things pertaining to the future.

LIKE A
GENERAL WAR
POWERS WILL MEET RUSSIA
WITH FORCE.
If MANCHURIA Is ANNEXED
DO NOT TRUST THE CZAR-HE
MUST BACK DOWN, OR FIGHT
ALL EUROPE.

New York, March 1S.-According to
advices received by the Herald from
Washington, the diplomats there say
that Manchuria and not Tien Tsin is
the danger point to the Chinese situa-
tion. These gentlemen assert that Great
Britain Japan and Germany have given
Russia to understand that they will re-
gard with disfavor the signing of the
Manchurian convention. 1t is further
stated that if the convention is signed,
a vigorous protest will be made by
these powers, and should this prove in
effectual, more aggressive measures will
be taken. War talk is deplorab BILE in Ameri-
can official circles, where it is well
understood that conflict between the
powers will precipitate the dismember-
ment of China, which the president and
Secretary Hay are trying to prevent.
Great Britain, Germany and Japan are
suspicious of the st. Petersburg govern
ment, Notwithstanding it's protestations
of good faith. and that government, it
is believed will abandon the convention
with China rather than engage in war.
1t is stated that the only danger in
the situation at Tien Tsin lies in the
antipathy of the British and Russian
troops for each other. The London and
st. Petersburg governments, however
it is thought, will not allow any clash
to occur in that part of China, that
might involve the two countries in war.

cific companies, places the Hill combin-
alton In position to compete in orien-

Brewing company or that of the An
heauser-Busch Brewing company at the
foot of Cherokee street shortly before
o'clock ard famed by a stiff breeze.
spread over territory bounded by Zepp
street on the south to Arsenal on the
north, DeKalb on the west and the river
on the east. This territory is six blocks
long by two wide and is covered by SWELL
irgs, lumber yards and repair shops, etc.
From the ice houses, which
were destroyed, the flames spread
10 row of flats a
block long in the east side of DeKalb
street. These were consumed, together
with several yards to the north. The
lumber yard and repair. shop of the Mis-
souri, Car and Foundry company went
up in flames next, and the United States
arsenal, containing quartermaster's SUP
plies, followed. A general alarm wa,
turned in, but little could be done t.
stop the spread of the flames, which
threatened the bottlng and shippin,s
buildings and cars of the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing company.
Al 2:30 p. m. the flames still seemed to
be spreading, but because Of the heavy
pall of smoke and the intense heat which
keeps the firemen at a distance, it is i'm
possible to tell just how much damage
the fire has done. Up to that time it is
known that the following buildings have
been destroyed:
Ice houses of the w. j. Lemp and the
Anheuser Busch Brewing companies
lumber yard and repair shops of the
Missouri Car and Foundry company;
shops of the Standard Barrel company;
Etudt Pickle and Vinegar company's s
plant, three two story dwellings, five
scattered cottages: buildings of the
United States engineering department
used for building and repairing harges
for Mississippi work; old stone ersenal
used for the storage of United States
army quartermaster's supplies: South

and several boat houses.

Russia Receding From Manchuriau

London, March 1S-There is a dispos'-
tlon here to think too much has heor
made of the Anglo Russian incident at
lien Tsin, and a hopeful view of the
aHadr is taken today. This is aided by
the statement contained in DR.. .Morri-
sons dispatch from Pekin Yesterday f.,
the London Times, which is taken to
mean that the combined efforts of the
interested powers are having the effect
OF causing st. Petersburg to check anv
undue aggressiveness on the part Of
RUSSIAN representatives in China,
Inc comments of the afternoon PAPERS
here' e'repeat the views of the majority Of
the morning papers. namely. that dplo.
macy will be able to smooth the fric-
ton.
The officials of the British foreign
Office have not yet received official con-
hrmation of Russias alleged backlown
IN regard to Manchuria, Turkestan and
Mongolia, and inquiries on the subject
are now being made at ST. PetersburS
and Pekln. The British foreign office IS
not relaxing it's efforts to secura- a more
satisfactory statement of the intentions
of Russia, but lit deprecates the press
agitation of the subject. On all sides it
is officially and otherwise said that
Great Britain has not the slightest con-
temptation or reSorting to hOstilitioS
against Russia, whatever may be the
| outcome of the present negot iation.
Replying to Sir Ellis Ashemeade- Bart
| lett, conservative, Mr.. Balfour, the gov
ernment leader, said in the house of COM
mons today that the government did not
possess any information indicating any
decline Of British influence in the
Yangtse provinces. AS to the Russian
claims for the waters of Blonde and Ell
lott isalnds, the British government had
certainly not accepted this claim, the
government having received no infor-
nation upon the subject from Russia.
The Russian admiral had demonstrated
against the presence in the waters OF
Elliott island of II. NJ. S. Plover, which
was engaged in pursuing pirates. Bat
British ships had a perfect right, under
the treaty of Tien Tsin to go there.
Questions regarding the dispute at
Tien Tsin We're parried by the under sec.
rectary of foreign affairs, Lord Cram,

HARBOR-GOOD NATURAL

Romblon, Island of Romblon, March II
(by mail from Boas, Island of Marin
duque, March 1S).-The question of at
taching this island Of Martinique to
the province of Tayabas, discussed by
the American Philippine commission
since their arrival here has been decided
in the negative. The sentiment of the
people was wholly in favor of forming a
separate province of Tayabas. A popula-
tion of $4,000 was reported during the dis
cussion and the committee has met in
teligent delegations from all the towns
on the island. There are 800 insurgents
still in the mountains of Martinique,
but otherwise the inhabitants are anx-
ious for the paciflcation of the island and
to accept American sovereignty. Judge
Taft has announced Captain Bandholtz,
to be chairman of the various commit
lees of natives formed to organize mu-
ricipal law in the towns of Martinique.
Judge Taft has promised that the COM
mission will return and organize the
province of Martinique.
Major Smith, commanding the Ameri-
can garrisons on this island, has issued
ali order requiring all natives to live
in the five principal towns where Amer
lean troops are stationed. Those ma
tives who continue to live in the coun-
try will be considered insurgents.
A few insurgents have recently been
killed or wounded near these towns and
their supplies have been destroyed
The inhabitants of this island favor a
drastic policy toward the insurgents
The American Philippine commission
will soon prepare recommendation to
President Mckinley on the form and
character of the civil government to be
established in the archipelago The mat
ter has as yet received only informal
consideration. This port will be the CAP
ital Of the newly formed province COM
Iosed of adjacent islands. It is situat-
ed at the mouth of deep valley and
has splendid harbor. The people are
thrifty and prosperous and there are no
insurgents here.
Major Evan M. Johnson, Jr.. of the
Twenty ninth volunteer infantry, will be
governor and Captain Albert s. Will
Jams of the same regiment, will be treas
urer of the new province.
