IOWA MAY GO SOUTH.
Will Probably Be Substituted for the Wis.
consin at Panama

Washington, Aug. 13.-The state
department. was without additional
information today concerning the
Venezuela Colombia situation, or of
the revolutionary outbreak on the
Isthmus. These two troubles are dis
tinct, one being on the west and the
other on the east coast of Colombia.
The Ranger, which has been ordered
to get in readiness at San Diego, CAL,
for trip to Panama, is a small cruis-
er of l, 020 tons displacement, and has
been engaged for some time past in
survey work on the Pacific coast and
in Central American waters. It is
possible that her services at the seat
of trouble will suffice and that bat
tie ship will not be needed to make
the long trip from the north. The
Ranger has main battery of six four
inch rapid-fre guns and secondary
battery of four six-pounders and a
Colt gun. She has a complement OF
q officers and 1877 men.
As the battleship Iowa has report
ed her arrival at Bremerton, while
the Winconsin has not yet been heard
from, it is probable that the former
| may be substituted for the prospect.

ship, although the formal announce
ment of the change has not yet beer

THE CUBAN PRESIDENCY.
General Gomez Suggests the Names Of Palma
and Masso.

Havana, Aug. 14.-Genera. Maxi:
mo Come has addressed letter to the
local committee of the National party,
in Havana, declining to be a candi-
date for the presidency of Cuba, and
suggesting the name of Senior Estrada
Palma and Senior Masso as the best
selections that could be made for the
presidency and vice presidency.
''Let all Cubans agree upon this
important matter" says General Go
mez in his communication, "and
Cuba will have strong and stable
government, entirely fitted to deal
with the external relations in which
Cuba will have to exist as republic. ,
A movement backed by number
of revolutionary generals was started
some time go to endeavor to make
Senior Palma the unanimous choice
of the people for president. 1t is
asserted that thus far Masso has de
clined to fall in with the plan as sug
gested by Gomez, as he relies upor
the Negro vote to elect him president

RusselI's Good Offices.

Washington, Aug. 14.-The state
department. has authorized Mr.. Rus
sell, the American charge d'affairs at
Caracas, Venezuela, to use his good
offices for Colombia in case the Co
lombian minister at the Venezuelan
capital leaves that country. Mr..
Russell telegraphed last week, seek
ing information as to his course of
action in case of the withdrawal of
the Colombian minister, which ap-
parently was in contemplation at
that time. The state department
has no information as to whether Mr..
Russell is fulfilling this temporary
duty.
There have been no additional
developments as to the situation on
the Isthmus of Panama, where the
trouble is far removed from that
along the Venezuelan border. Consul
General Gudger's course in looking
after the interests of Chinese along
the Isthmus is not in pursuance of
any specie instructions from Wash
ington, but follows procedure estab-
lished IL years ago in connection
with points at which the Chinese
were entirely without official repre-
sentation.
The navy department has now de-
fnitely determined to make use of the
battleship Iowa instead of the Wis
consin on the Pacific side of the
Isthmus in case affairs become SER
ious there. The Iowa is the flagship
of the Pacific station, and as such
flies the flag of Rear Admiral Silas
Casey. At last reports received here
the admiral was on board the Iowa,
but it is hardly probable that he will
proceed further south than San
Francisco.
The gunboat Machias has reached
Norfolk, and will probably sail for
Colon tomorrow morning.

PUTTING DOWN REBELLION.
Annual Report Of General Macarthur on the
Philippine Situation.

WASHINGTON Aug. 1.-THE an.
nual report of Major-General Mac
Arthur, dated July 4, 1901, the day he
relinquished command of the division
of the Philippines, has been received
at the War Department. The period
covered by the report is from Oc-
tober 1, 1900, when the last report
from General Macarthur was dated.
He reviews the policy of the Fill
pinos that were hostile to the Ameri-
cans, saying that their action since
the practical collapse of the insur-
rection has been a perplexing prob.
lem. With the disbandment of the
insurgent field armies, the Filipinos
organized desperate resistance by
banding the people together in sup
port of the guerrillas. This was car
ried out by means of secret commit
tees, who collected contributions, in
ficted punishments and carried on a
considerable opposition to the Ameri.
cans. General Macarthur reviews
the manner in which operations were
carried on against these guerrillas
and says he hopes the policy adopted

TRAFFIC BECOMING UNSAFE
Pressure is Being Brought to Bear on the
Panama Railroad Company.

Pressure is Being Brought to Bear on the
Panama Railroad Company.
NEW YORK, Aug. IF. A. Drake,
secretary Of the Panama Railroad
Company, says that the communica-
tion which ]. Edward Simmons, pres.
ident of the company, sent to the
State Department suggesting that an
American warship go to the Pacific
side at Panama. as well as to the At.
lantic side at Colon, was sent largely
as the result of the pressure which
residents of the isthmus have brought
to bear on the company. Since
Wednesday night officers of the com.
pany in New York have received mail
advices from the isthmus showing in.
. creased activity on the part of the
insurgents in the shape Of depreda'
tions by bands of from 40 to 50
guerrillas, who have raided outlying
towns, looting property and captur
ing citizens for ransom.
Traffic, however, even in the alb
seIce of any reported depredations
along the railroad line, is clearly tend
ing, in the opinion of the officers, to
become unsafe and the significance
of the movements of the rebels, they
think, it that it appears to be re
vival of the insurrection that was
supposed to have been suppressed
last year.

Answer to Shaffer's General Strike Order
Sixty Thousand Men Now Out.

Pittsburg, Aug. 1.-THE struggle
for mastery between manufacturers
and men in the steel strike is now
fairly launched, and on the first
show of strength advantage is with
the former. The general strike order
issued by President Shaffer, of the
Amalgamated Association, has SO far
been obeyed by only about IA, 900
men, according to the best figures OBJ
tainable here. The first two calls
were answered by about 45, 600 men,
80 that the total number now out is
in the neighborhood of $4,000. The
strikers made gains here today over
the showing of last night, and their
prospects for further accessions at
both McKeesport and Wheeling DUR
ing the week are very favorable.
The action of the Amalgamated men
at Chicago, Joliet and Bayview in re-
fusing to come out, and their failure
to secure any recruits in the Carnegie
group throughout the Kiskiminetas
valley, and in the big plants at
Youngstown and Columbus, O., have
been marked by disappointment to
them. They are keeping up the
fight, however, in a spirited manner,
and claim that they have strength in
reserve which will surprise their op.
ponents. They assert that they have
gained foothold in the Carnegie
mills in this city, and at the time de
sired the men will come out. They
are pressing their advantage at Nc
Keesport and Wheeling and their or
ganizers are still at work in those
towns. President Shaffer has decided
to visit Wheeling, and will address {
mass meeting of his followers. H.
plans to spend tomorrow here direct
ing the fight and conferring with hi
associates as to plans for the future
An appeal for financial aid has beer
made to organized labor and to th'
general public, and it is expected the
responses to it will be liberal.

will in time conciliate the natives and
make them friendly to the United
States. The education of the people
in times past made them suspicious
of any governmental benefcience, and
they evidently looked on the lenient
attitude of the United States as in
dicating weakness. General Mac
Arthur says the proclamation issued
on December 81, firmly declaring the
intention of the United States to hold
the island and to have the laws
obeyed, had good effect, and the sec
ret resistance was much abated.
A considerable portion of the re-
port is devoted to the field operations
of the army, showing that October 1,
1900, it occupied Alb stations, which
was of necessity increased to 502 sta.
tions, every command being in con-
tact with some hostile force. He
speaks of the good service of the
army and says, as a result of the CO
operation between the army and the
people who have accepted the invi
! tation to combine for mutual protec
tion, the armed insurrection is almost
suppressed.

Are Undaunted.

P1TTSBURG, Aug. 12.-There were
gravely important developments in
the strike situation today. The United
States Steel Corporation moved de-
cisively in its strike campaign, with
a peremptory order directing that the
Dewees-Wood plant, at McKeesport,
be dismantled and removed to Kis-
kiminetas Valley. President Com
pers, of the American Federation of
Labor, after a two days conference
with President Shaffer and his asso-
ciates, issued formal statement to-
night, specifically holding the FEEDER
alton to the moral and financial supa
port of the Amalgamated. His writ.
ten review of the train of events
leading up to the industrial quarrel
sustains the course of the Amalga-
mated Association, and declares that
nothing remains for labor but to bat
tie for the cause of unionism.
The official announcement of the
order to dismantle the Dewees-W Wood
plant came this afternoon toward the
y,
and its importance was such that It
claimed the serious consideration of
either side of the great Industrial
conflict now being waged here. Per-
sifer F. Smith, district manager of
the American Sheet Steel Company,
made the formal announcement in
the following statement:
Il have orders from President Nc
Murtric, of the American Sheet Steel
Company, to at once tear down the
Dewees-Wood plant at McKeesport
and remove the same to Kiskiminetas
Valley. This 1 shall proceed to do
Immediately"
The publication of the order was a
great surprise and McKeesport re-
| ceived it ar first with doubt. Actual
preparations were made later in the
day for the dismantling of the plant,
and there is little doubt but that it
will be torn down. The strikers heard
the order in a spirit of defiance. They
| simply said that it showed the steel
corporation was convinced that it
could not reopen the plant in the face
of the opposition of the Amalgamated
Association. Strike leaders here said
that the order was a bluff that had
been worked unsuccessfully before
and declined to take it seriously
President Shaffer refused to discuss
the matter.
The steel officials declined to give
any reason for the order, but it is
stated here that the pronounced sym
pathy of citizens and city officials al
McKeesport with the strikers is re
sponsible for it. It is also said that
the plant of the National Tube Com
panJ at McKeesport will be ab
doned and the old Carnegie plan fol
a tube plant at Conneaut, O., re
/ vived.

MUCH GOLD RECOVERED.
seIby People Have Dug Up All But $4,000
of Stolen Treasure.


San Francisco, Aug. Alt was
stated at the Office of the Selby
Smelling Company at noon that a
force of divers, under the manage
ment of the Pinkertons, had today
taken $65, 600 worth of gold from the
spot where it was hidden by Winters,
making nearly 5000, 900 already re-
covered. It is expected that the
balance of the stolen treasure, amount
ing to $50, 1000, will be recovered in
side of "a hours.
Winters is still detained by the
officers in this city, but has not been
formally charged with the crime.
The fact that he has not been charged
with any crime lends additional
weight to the belief that he will be
leniently dealt with for confessing the
crime and locating the spot where he
secreted the bullion.
There promises to be lively fight
between the detectives over the re-
ward money, and this matter may
eventually be taken into count for
settlement. Detective Morse, who,
it is stated, definitely fixed upon
Winters the authorship of the crime,
states that he got his first informa-
tion from Donaldson, an employe of
the works, who formerly roomed with
Winters. Morse, who is detective
for the Selby people, does not claim
any of the reward, but states that
large portion of it should be divided
between Donaldson and Sheriff Veale,
of Contra Costa county. Their claims
are opposed by the other detectives
engaged in the case.

There is a possibility that in

now on Puget Sound will be
sent to Panama.
The available warships on
Puget Sound are the Oregon

at Puget Sound navy yard and
the Iowa at Anacortes. The
Wisconsin is also at the Puget
Sound yard, but is not in shape
for active service. If but one
battleship is sent to Panama it
will be the Iowa, owing to the
need for permanent repairs to
the Oregon.

London, Aug. 13.-A dispatch from
Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, says: /:
"A blocKhouse near Bradfort,
Orange River colony, was rushed and
captured by the Beers, after severe
fighting, the night of August 7.
"Elliot has captured 20 prisoners
and large quantities of stock and
wagons, which he is sending in. No
details have been received. /"
Mail dispatches from Lord Kitch-
ener issued today in a parliamentary
paper, say his constant endeavor is to
improve the Notifications along the
lines of communications, thus re-
leasing men from active service. The
garrisons off the railways have mostly
been withdrawn.
Lord Kitchener received certain in
formation that Dewet intends to at
tack Cape Town, while General Botha,
as soon as he hears that the coneen-
tration in Cape Colony is effected, is
to enter Natal with 5000 picked
horsemen and make for Durham.
