GRILL WAVES OBJECTIONS.
VIII be Represented at Pan-Ameri-
can Congress in City of Mexico.

New York, May 1.-THE Gillian gov
eminent. says a Washington special 10
the Tribune, has waived its objections
TO the second Pan-American Congress,
to be held in the City of Mexicon next
October, and will be represented there.
Announcement to this effect has just
been made by officials OF the bureau of
American republics that Senior Vicuna,
the CHILEAN minister In Washington will
make a formal acknowledgment OF his
country's acceptance Of the invitation TO
take part in the conference.
At the first Pan-American congress
which was held in Washington in 1890.
under the auspicies OF James G. Blaine,
Chill was the only country which did
not accept an invitation to be repre-
scented. Her objections then were the
same as when invitations TO the forth
coming congress were issued. Even up
TO a few weeks ago Chill maintained
a stubborn attitude based on the appre-
henslon that participation In the con-
gress might give an excuse TO her old
enemies in South America particular
~ Peru and Bolivia, to lead In some
movement to recover through dlplo-
matte channels some OF the territory
Chill has gained in wars with these
countries, For the last month or so
Senior Vicuna has been discussing the
subject IN all its details with state de-
partment officials In Washington, es-
pecially with Asst. Secy. Hill, who APP
pears to have satisfied the Gillian re-
preventative that Chill vii receive fair
treatment at the congress.

NEW YORK TO MANILA,
Proposition Made Secretary Root TO Establish
Line Via Suez Canal,
Not 10 be Regular, but Boats 30 so
when Needed Claimed II would
Lessen Expenses.

New York, May ia special to the
Times from Washington says
A proposition has been laid before
Secy, Root for the establishment Of a
transport line from New York to Ma
Mia by way of the Suez Canal. The
secretary now has the matter under
consideration and will probably de-
eide upon II shortly, The plan is, not
to supersede the Pacific transport line,
but to have two lines and the chief ar
gument in its favor is that of econo-
my.
II now costs about $50 to get a SOL
der from New York to Manila, and
the transport line saves the government
about 5000 900 on each round trip. From
New York to San Francisco It costs
about S35, II the war department ar
ranges things so as TO take advantage
OF the colony rate. From San Fran
cisco to Manila II costs about $50,
whereas the private citizen who wants
TO go from san Francisco to Manila
cannot do It under Sl55, without reck-
Onng the expenses Of an enforced
stay at Hongkong Of several days A
soldier could be taken from San Fran
cisco to Manila for about $3.50 by a
private line
The opponents Of the Suez canal plan
believe that the expense could be still
further reduced by running an eastern
transport line. The cost of taking
soldier from New York to Manila by
transport through the Suez canal Is
only about 500 At first sight this ap-
pears conclusive argument In favor
Of the Atlantic plan, but other things
enter The cost is S26 only If the trans
port can bring a soldier back in place
Of the one she takes across, If she
comes back empty the cost will be $50,
for 1T costs just as much TO bring the
ship back as ii does TO send her out.
But even $50 q man would be cheaper
than the present Pacific route,
1t is, however, ulair.alned By oppon-
ents of the plan that there are incl
dental expenses which might bring the
total cost much higher, for example,
the cost Of maintaining transportation
facilities in New York IL is quite
impossible to do away with the Pacific
transport line and II has not been en-
tertalned for minute. II the Atlantic
line is to be established. 1t would not
supersede the Pacific line.
A compromise plan favored by some
army officials is to run an Atlantic
line as an adjunct to the Pacific line.
Under this plan there would be no regu-
lar transport line with transports maxi
ing trips at stated intervals A trans
port could instead run out from New
York at irregular intervals whenever
II was thought best to send one from
there instead of from San Francisco
This would, In the opinion Of these
officers who favor It, make the saving
In expense certain, for II would enable
the government TO send out trans
port only when troops were to return
or at other times when the expenses
could certainly be figured down to the
minimum. If regular line were run,
Just as the case nj San Francisco, the
government would they argue, he
obliged TO send out ships whether the
expense was s5S~or SEQ a soldier. The
trouble with this compromise plan is

BACK FROM VENEZUELA.
Men Engaging 10 Work Found They We're
Expected TO Fight.
Furnished Uniforms and Arms =
Drilled and Instructed In Use Of
weapons -Au Ambush.

New York, May 15,--Twenty-hye men
out Of forty employed by the Bermuda
Asphalt company at the pitch lakes,
near Guanaco. Venezuela, reached this
city yesterday. They brought back
with them stories of the trouble which
has attracted so much attention,
They wore "a uniform and looked like
regular army men and had come to be
paid off, OF their arrival here the
Herald says:
According 10 stories told by differ
ent members Of the d!sbanded army,
when they signed articles TO so to
Venezuela they considered their mis-
sion a peaceful one. They left Brook
Ign February End last, and were land
ed at Guanaco eleven days later They
were marched back TO the pitch or as
phalt lakes. where quarters were pro-
vided In big hut built for the occa-
sion. Each man was furnished with
a complete uniform. A Winchester
rife, nifty ronuds of ammunition and
big revolver were furnished TO every
man,
capt Bracket took command Of the
army and instructed them in their
duties. They were not supposed to do
any work on the asphalt beds but were
instructed to keep sharp lookout for
inquisltive VeneZuelans and not be
sparlng in the use Of their ammuni-
ton.
While the army was supposed to be
without arms. they presented such
business like appearance every time any
functionary of the Venezuela govern
ment appeared at the lakes that the
visiting official generally retired amid
much chatterlng and wild gesticula-
lions.
Word was brought into camp on
March 10Th by scouts that company
from the Warner Quintar company Of
Syracuse, which is being backed by
the Venezuelan government, and which
lays claim to the pitch lakes now be-
ing worked by the New York and
Bermude2 company intended raiding
the lakes that day In force Then
the little army was marshaled out for
active service. Rations were doled out
and care was taken to see that each
man carried fun fifty rounds OF am
munition for his rife. besides his re-
volyer cartridges. The invaders
proved to be "A surveying party from
the rival company accompanied By a
guard. They numbered thirteen in all.
They were approaching through the
tall grass that surrounded the lakes
and stumbled into an ambush set by
Capt, Bracket, Eight OF the invaders
threw down their arms and implements
and begged for quarter. They were
taken prisoners and were marched of
TO the Bermudez company's storehouse
Three others were finally hunted out
Of the grass, while two. who were in
charge Of the invading party, escaped
In addition TO their prisoners the army
also captaured the surveying outfit Of
the invaders"
