ENGINEER RIVES TURNS
UP VERY MUCH ALIVE
The Rurales Thought He Was Dead
and 1t Was All Right

The telegram 20 The Herald from
Chihuahua Friday giving details of a
bad freight wreck and smash up on the
Mexican Central at Parral was incor-
rect in stating that Engineer G. NJ
Rives was killed.
Both Engineer Rives and Conductor
Frank Bean reached the city Saturday
night and their escape from Mexico
was due to the belief Rives was
killed and was buried beneath the pile
of debris out of sight The soldiers
halted to unvover the body and while
so engaged the engineer and conductor
put many miles between them and the
spot where the wreck occurred.
Il was through no fault of theirs that
the wreck occurred and they did not
propose to be imprisoned if it could be
prevented. They continued their flight
afoot from n. m. to p. m. without
food and expecting every moment to be
overtaken by the rurales.
Finally they tagged the northbound
train but as the train approached the
engineer blew his whistle in a peculiar
manned to warn them that a squad of
rurales We're aboard the train. The
men hid themselves and We're unob-
serv as the train swept by.
Another train picked them ND and
brought them to the suburbs of Juarez
and they managed TO get across the
river without being observed by The Of
ficerS

A decision recently handed down

on the cases against the small boys

The London court held that a father

little boys damaged the property of

0bstructing Sidewalks With Unsightly
Polas

AS though to counteract the city i'm.
provements now in the line of progress
the Chesapeake and Atlantic Telephone
Company are placing huge ugly poles
along the sidewalks and at the intersec-
tion OF the cily's streets.
Yesterday a pole was placed at the
corner OF Gloucester and Conduit street,
on pavement 30 narrow that there is
scarcely room for two people to pass,
and this new pole is within a few feet OF
another electric light pole already at the
corner. Ii is injustice to the property
owner, who. by-the-way. is a non-resi-
dent, and knows nothing of the matter.
Today three poles for the same com
pany have been erected along the block
on the east side from Conduit to Main
street. The poles are the largest yet
placed in this city. They are Unsightly
and detract from the appearance OF the
street. 1t is lucky for the company that
Annapolitans are so easy y.going, other.
wise they would find it difficult TO plant
their unsighlly poles in front OF ofwindows
and doors on four foot sidewalks. or any

Pacific Coast Discoveries.

According to DIR. Wilson, ofthe United
States National Museum. the fringe oi
country lying between the Coast Range
and the Pacific contains many peculiar.
Ties yet unexplained. For instance, il
has greater number of families of In.
dian languages than all the rest of North
America combined. The arrow-heads
and spear-heads there are different from
those found anywhere else. Pottery was
not one OF the arts OF the Pacific coast,
although it was made by the neighboring
peoples OF Mexico and the Pueblo coun-
try. On the other hand. the finest speci.
mems OF basketry in the world, perhaps,
in either ancient or modern times, are
found there. II may be said, by the
way, that DIR. Wilson regards the famous
Calaveras skull as genuine relic oi
ancient man on the Pacific slope.

SECRETARY OF STATE HAY GOES TO
CANTON,

The battleship Iowa sailed from San
Francisco yesterday for Panama. She
will stop at Acapulco for coal. The dis
tance from san Francisco to Panama is
3.274 miles. and the trip will occupy
about twelve days.
Secretary OF State Hay left Washington
for Canton. where ne will confer with
President Mckinley on the situation in
the northera part OF South America and
the isthmus. At this conference the situ-
alton will be thoroughly gone over and
line OF policy will be mapped out to
meet any emergencies that may aiise.
In its general outlines that policy is
well understood in Washington. There
is TO be no interference in the internal
affairs of any OF the southern republics,
nor is there to be any Intervention in
their national affairs without the consent
OF both sides to any controversy, unless
such interference becomes necessary for
protection OF the lives and property of
citizens OF the United States, or the full.
tlllment OF the obligations assumed by
this Government under the treaty OF 1916
The Monroe Doctrine is to be upheld
and the United States will refrain from
Whh hhS VI khCSC IOun-
tries and will insist that Europe shall do
the same. The policy OF non-interven-
ton will Immediately become one OF Wig
orous Intervention if any European coun-
try tiles to take a hand in the difficulty.
Comments in European capitals provok-
ed some irritation, but more amusement,
in Washington yesterday. No one was
more amused than the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the Central and South Amer
ican republics. They say they do not
share the fears of Europe that the Gov
eminent at Washington is dreaming of
territorial acquisitions south of the Rio
Grande.
DIR. Carlos MARITIME Silva, the Minis
ter from Colombo. stated in the most
positive manner that neither he nor his
Government had any suspicion as to the
motives of the United States. He ielt
certain that under no circumstances would
this country 60 further than to fulfill its
treaty obligations if the situation should
unhappily require such action. Senior
Pulido. Change d Affaires OF the Venez-
uelan Legation, was equally emphatic in
his assurances that his Government did
not distrust the United States. Venezuela,
he says, is certain that under no circum-
stances will the United States lend itself
TO any designs against the independence
or integrity of any of the southern re-
publicS,

NAVAL NOTES.
Maohinists Strike Delays Work On Naval
Vessels At The Union Iron Works.

Vessels AT The Union Iron Works.
Work on many vessels Tor the army
and navy is being delayed because OF
the troubles in San Francisco. The
Union Iron Works has contracts for six
warships and two submarine torpedo
boats. The most important of these is
the bat,leship Ohio.
This vessel was launched a few months
ago by President Mckinley. and the
moment she took the water work was
ceased on her. The machinists were
then on strike. and few men have since
been employed on the battleship. Moored
close beside the Ohio is the monitor
Wyoming. She was launched last Sep
tember. and is not completed.
The torpedo boat destroyers Preble,
Perry ana Paul Jones also are at the
Union Iron Works. The Perry and the
Preble have been given trial trips on the
bay. Changes designed by the Navy
Department to give greater speed were
ordered about the time the machinists
struck, and the work of alteration has
not yet been started. The transport
Sherman has been at the Union Iron
Works over six months. The transport
Logan is at the Mare Island navy yard
for overhauhng. There is no strike at
the Government shipyards. and the Lo-
gan probably will be ready for use within
six weeks.
