wires the substance OF an interview he

China, DR.. Mumm Won Schwartzenstein,
who is represented as having said:
Great difficulty is caused by this ques-
tion of Furnishing the guilty. Russia will
not abandon Prince Tuan, because she
owes Manchuria TO him. 1t is impossible
to designate Prince Tuan as a rebel, in
asmuch as the empress dowager is still
too powerful. She will continue to di-
rect, with Prince Tuan, Chinas future
fate.
The Developments regarding Prince
Tuan's negotiations with Russia fully eX-
plain the impossibility for Russia to

HAVANA, April 4.-The so-called rad
ical element in the Cuban constitutional
convention, including Senors Juan Gomez,
Portuondo, Aleman and Manduley, held
a conference today with Gov. Gen. Wood
regarding the Platt amendment. Gen.
Wood said that the United States gov
ernment intended to deal justly and hon
estly with the Cubans, and had no desire
to retain possession OF the island. He
pointed out that the Platt amendment
was drawn up primarily with the view
to protecting a weak nation against out
siders, as well as against internal strife,
and would not interfere with Cuban in
dependence He explained that the

UNCLE SANS AsIATac STATION
FLEET TO BE REDUCED.


WASHINGTON, April 4-4The prospect
i've reduction of the United States naval
force on the Asiatic station is beginning
to assume definite form. Thus far the
matter has not been considered by the
president, nor has Secretary Long had an
opportunity to confer with Admiral Re
mey. But the naval bureau of navigation,
which has charge Of the assignment Of
ships to the various stations, has pro-
posed that there be a reduction of the
forces on the Astatic station. This has
been based on a recommendation of the
needs Of the navy and without reference
to any of the political questions involved.
Should it be decided to reduce the force
the homeward movement. of vessels would
probably not begin before summer AS
yet no consideration has been given to
the disposition of the ships when they
are relieved from service in the far
East. 1t is said, however, that the
North Atlantic SQUADRON will be aug
mented by at least one or two ships,
while the South Atlantic and Pacific
stations will also be reinforced. Quite
number of ships will have to go out
of commission as they have seen long
service in the tropical waters and will
need pretty general ovefhauling.

ALL HONORED CHAFFEE
PROMOTION TO MAJOR GENERAL

CKEERED BY TROOPS IN PEkIN.
PEKIN, Feb A-The past week has
practically been devoted socially in Pc
kin to Gen. Chaffee in honor Of his pro-
motion to the rank of major general in
the regular army. The American camp
at the Temple Of Agriculture held a re-
ceptton in his honor at the club, at which
every officer and American civilian in
Pekin was present to congratulate him
and a good deal of enthusiasm was dis
played.
United States Minister and Mrs. Conger
gave dinner party Saturday night, Feb.
9, in the generals honor, after which
there was a reception at the American
club, attended by foreign officers Owing
to the dinner it was late before Gen.
Chaffee put in his appearance, shortly
after IL o'clock. AS soon as 1t was
known he was coming through the gates,
preparations were made to receive him
in style, and an interna tional guard of
honor was formed the commanding officer
of which was the British general. Rich

minister and Nine. Pichon gave a lunch
con party in Gen. Chaffee's honor Sun
day, and several other dinners and recep-
tions have been given, and still more are
projected for week to come.
The enlisted men are unfeignedly de-
lighted over the promotion, for to them
Gen. Chaffee is the exemplifcation Of all
that good soldier should be. Another
reason which pleases them is the eact
that he was an enlisted man himself. and
In consequence 1t is looked upon as an
honor to the enlisted men of the army
that one who was once an enlisted man
himself should mount the ladder of MIL

BURSTING OF SHELL

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The-navy de-

on the bursting OF a shell from one Of
the Kentucky's guns. The report says
the explosion occurred at the instant
that the shell left the gun, so that the
full force of the conclusion was not con-

ever, to do some damage to the forward
part of the weapon and for two inches

are a succession of slight elevations and
depressions for the purpose of accurate
rifiing, and the terrific force of the ex-
plosion is shown by the disappearance

This does not, however, cripple the gun
in any way, and there will be no necessity
for repairing it. 1t was one of the big

shell which exploded weighed over 1,1oO
pounds.
The shell was one of those furnished
