CALL BUREAU. 1406 G STREET, N
W., WASHINGTON, Nov S.-Finding ii
impolitic to acquire coaling station on
the shores of the Caribbean Sea by direct
negotiation, Germany has apparently at
tempted to evade the Monroe doctrine by
obtaining control of territory for this pur-
pose through one of her subsidized steam
ship lines. An official report has been re-
ceived by the State Department from Jo-
seph Bowron, United States Consul at
Carthagena announcing that the Ham
burg American Steamship Company, own
ers of the Atlas line, which plies between
Central and South American ports, had
filed an application with the Colombian
Government for the right to establish a
coaling station near that city.
Referred to Bradford.
Immediately upon receipt of this report
Secretary Hay referred it to the Navy De-
partment, and the effect of the applica-
ton is now being considered by Rear Ad-
miral Bradford. Chief of the Bureau of
Equipment and coaling station expert of
the service.
While there IS no disposition on the part
of the United States to interfere with pri-
yate enterprise. there IS no doubt that the
administrations xoule prefer that The ap-
plication of the Hamburg american line be
not granted. That company draws a sub
sidy from the German Government and
in case of war its steamers would be avail
able for use by the German Government
A nil
Carthagena would be of immense value,
as fleet using it as base would, if suf-
ficiently strong, be able to dominate the
Caribbean Sea and the eastern terminus
of the Isthmian Canal.
Of Strategic Importance.
The strategic Importance of a coaling
station at or near Carthagena is hard to
overestimate. The application of the
Hamburg American line is regarded not
only in official but in diplomatic circles
as the thin edge of Z wedge intended to
split the Monroe doctrine.
Senior Herran, Colombian Charge DAT
flares, is confident that the application
will be very carefully considered by the
Colombian officials.
1.-The application is probably made to
the President of Colombia said Senior
Herran, ''but it will be referred to the
Governor of the State of Carthagena for
his views This official is one of the great
est jingoes in the country and is strongly
opposed to the extension of European in
fuence in Colombia. The only coaling
station that Colombia is disposed to con-
cede is one to the United States in con-
nection with the Panama Canal

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 8.-John Rose, the

in 1887 and prosecuted Longbaugh in that
year on charge of horse stealing. Long
baugh was convicted and sentenced to
eighteen months in Jail. The ex-prose-
cutting attorney described to Chief Des-
mond the distinguishing marks Of the
Longbaugh of 1887, and as these are all
found on the prisoner he is satisfied that
he has the bandit properly identified.
Chief of Detectives Desmond said to-
night that he would if necessary send for
one of the officers of Wagner, Mont, al

and identify Longbaugh.

the Immediate cause of the death
of Ii Hung Chang. The diplomatic events
preceding this tragic climax have enabled
Japan for moment to Illustrate the de-
signs of Russia. A fortnight ago the
Japanese legation secured a reliable out
line of the terms of the treaty and there
upon demanded that the Chinese plenipo-
tentiaries officially lay before them the
text, basing this demand upon the allie
CATION that japanese interests were in

Manchuria.
The Chinese plenipotentiaries refused to
comply with the demand. Thereupon the
Japanese Government from Toxic COM
municated with the Southern viceroys
and induced them to use their influence
with the Empress Dowager against the
treaty In the meantime the Empress
Dowager instructed Ii Hung Chang To
communicate the treaty, after certain
notifications, to the Ministers of the
powers, and if they did not object to sign
the same.
Fatal Hemorrhage Follows.
Ii Hung Chang visited M. Lessar and
explained to him the instructions. The
Russian Minister strongly objected to re-
vealing the text of the treaty to the Min
listers of the otker powers, and a stormy
interview ensued. Ii Hung Chang went
home in a violent passion and had a
hemorrhage, which the doctors attribute
to the over-exertion of weakened sys-
tenn.
While these things were happening in
Picking the southern viceroys sent to the
Empress Dowager memorial against the
treaty. On receiving it she telegraphed
to Lii Hung Chang countermanding the
order to sign. This instruction came after
Ii Hung Chang had become unconscious.
