Nav York HyenIng Post


The capture Of the city under these
circumstances is an incident OF little
importance even In the Colombian civil
war AS for wider international COM
pications, or such obstruction of traf-
tic on the isthmus as would Justify our
forcible Intervention, there is no likell-
hood OF any such contingency arising.
The landing of few marines from
the Machias was an obvious measure
OF precauton. and that only SO long
as the Machias complement outnum-
bers the lnsurgent force at Colon, one
cannot believe that the revolutlonists
will appear as Instructors Of traffic.
The whole affair, had 1t occurred else
whore than on the isthmus, would
hardly have received greater attention
than II would deserve as a move In the
continuous game Of revolution at which
the Colombian parties have for some
months been playing.

Marines will be debarked, If neces-
sary, TO assist those already landed
from the gunboat Machas. They will
do polceman's duty as American ma
rines have done several times before
and the moment It Is clear they arc
not needed, they will return TO their
ships, The only chance Of serious
work for this country lies In the posi-
biity that the belligerents may utilize
the railway to attack each other and
may break 1t up to prevent the move-
ment of each others forces.

CLIFFS HOTEL WASHED AWAY.
Raging Catavba Carries Portion of
Building 135 Miles.

Columbia, s. c., May p4.-News reached
here this evening of the washing away
of the Cliffs Hotel six miles from Hick-
ory, N. C. This was a sumner resort
built on the Carolina and Northern Rail-
road, where it runs along the banks of
the Catawba river. A thousand flooded
mountain streams poured into the Cataw-
ba and the river rose to an unprecedent-
ed hight. The great volume of water
washed down the valley, carrying every
thing before it. The hotel was new and
about to be opened 1t had just been sup
piled with $1,000 worth of furniture. The
big building was lifted up and carried
down the raging river. At the same
time, three miles of the railroad, station
and water tanks were destroyed.
Fortunately no one was in the hotel.
To-day half the building was seen in the
river near Chester, 100 miles from Hick-
ory. The Catawba washed away the
Southern and Seaboard bridges. Tele-
graph lines being washed away communi-
cation with Hickory was cut off.

Warm Editorial by Saturday Review
on RooseveIt's Speech.
London, MayeA.-Commenting on Vice
President Roosevelt's speech at Buffalo,
the Saturday Review will say tomorrow:
THE Monroe doctrine, triply exagger-
ated, and the rejection of the Clayton
Rulwer treaty, are the means by which
South America is to be prevented from
being snatched from the loving arms OF
the United States. The two Americas
are to declare that Europe shall not en-
ter into, establish colonies in, or seek
the partition of Central or South Ameri-
can states. The United States were bully
ing Venezuela a short time ago and
Venezuela turned nasty. Now they will
try to bully and cajole her into denying
Germany the lease of small coaling sta
tion. Soon Europe will not be able to
speak in South America without asking
the permission of the United States. But
we fancy South America would prefer
even the attentions of Europe to those
of their friends in the north. 1t is pleas
ant for Europe TO be menaced with the
commercial fist and the mailed fist of
America at the same time"

RUSSIA WANTS GUARANTEE.
But United States Will Not Under
write China's Indemnity Bonds.

But United States VIII Not Under
write China's Indemnity Bonds.
Washington, May 24.-Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador, spent an hour
with Acting Secretary Hill to-day. and it
is assumed that the Chinese negotiation
was the burden of their talk. 1t has be-
come apparent that Russia will find it in
expedient to close with the proposition
to accept Chinese bonds at any of the
interest figures mentioned as indemnity,
unless there is an interna tional guaranty,
and the United States find it quite i'm
possible to assent to the latter.
1t is now nearly certain that by China's
own action in so weakly opposing the
demands of the ministers for an indem-
nifty amounting to 1887 100000, the United
States effort to secure an abatement of
the claim has failed completely, and Chi
ma must submit to pay the total, or at
least to agree to pay it. for there is grave
doubt entertained here of her ability to
do so.
Since the reduction of the indemnity has
been abandoned, it is assumed in the best
posted Chinese quarters that authority
will now be given to China to raise her
customs. duties

ment and fired at her with a revolver.
The brother heard the noise of the
shooting and ran from the barn to the

AS soon as he had fired the shot Wood
hull rushed across the road to his own
house. ran to his bedroom and lay down
on the bed. and then sent a bullet

Disabled Ministers.

Little Rock. Ark. May 24.-The South
ern Presbyterian General Assembly this
afternoon refused to adopt the catechism
on the nature and government of the

pointed one year ago. 1t was ordered
that the catechism be sent down to the

tions to return it to the ad interim COM
mittee by Feb. /. 1902.
The assembly divided the synod of Mis-
sissippi into the synods of Mississippi and
Louisiana on state lines. The synod of
Memphis was divided and the synod of
Tennessee created.
After a lengthy debate the assembly d.
rected the Executive Committee on Pub
lications to select a field superintendent
for Sabbath school work. The assembly
adopted the recommendation of the Com
mittee on Bible Cause, reminding pastors
and churches that the collection for the
Bible society on the third Sunday in Oc-
tober or some other more convenient day
is embraced in the assembly's scheme of
beneficence and should regularly and
faithfully be attended to.
1t was ordered that the following
amendments to the book of the church
ordered be sent to the presbyterles for

mendation that it be adopted" provided
further that in the case of a synod COM

experience of seeing colonial governor

much disputed act of ministerial policy.

nor trouble in organizing a greeting for

popular demonstration in support of the
Chamberlain Miner war policy but pub
lie enthusiasm is lacking.

Southampton to-day, was formally well
coined by the Mayor and corporation. In
brief reply the high commissioner said
he had been greatly benefited by the voy
age. He had come home for rest, and
not to make speeches. He then proceed
ed to London.
When Sir Alfred arrived in London an
unusually distinguished crowd greeted him
on the platform. The first person to seize
his hand was Lord Salisbury, who warm

crowd cheered him heartily. Sir Alfred
