Despatch Announcing Capture Of the

Advices received in this city to-

Panama was premature. That the desT atch
announcing its capture by the revolutionary
troops was received here, however, there
can be no doubt. Personal inquiries made
at the cable Office confirms this, as well as
that it was sent from Panama. M. Ante.

No one in Panama but these two gentle
men knows this new address. If the cable
sent me is not from Gen. Ortissoz there is
but no one other explanation possible, and
that is that it was sent by Gen. Alban, the

Yuan Shi Kai Appointed Viceroy..of
the Province of Chilli.

Pekin, Nov. 14.-An imperial edict has
arrived here appointing Yuan Shi. .Kai, gov
ernor of Shan .Tung province, to be governor
of the province of Chilli, and appointing
Wang. Wen -Shao, who is vice-president Of
the Foreign Office and member of the

come to PeLin forthwith.
Another edict creates Lii Hung Chang a
marquis and bestows, on him the new name
Of LII Wen Chung, by which he will be
known in history.
st Petersburg, Nov 13.-The newspapers
here devote much space to the death OF Il
Hung Chang. The comments are invariably
favorable, although the writer's say that
the dead man was not such friend of Rus
sia as has been asserted abroad.
Washington, Nov. 13-Yuau Shi Kai,
who succeeds Ii Hung Chang as viceroy of
Obi Ii, is the best appointment that could
have been made from all China, according
to Mr.. Rockhill, the special commissioner Of
the United States to Pekin. Yuan is about
forty.five years Of age. he came originally
from the province of Human, where he
began his public career as military officer.
He was made minister to Corta and for
many years ably defended Chinese inter,s $
IN that troubled country.
AS governor of Shan Tung he showed
great ability in tranquilizing that province
while his diplomacy was exercised fully In
preventing friction between the turbulent
population of the peninsula and the Ger.
mans when the latter were steadily encroach

1t Dates Back Long Before the First
of the PharaOhs.
From the London Sphere.
Thousands Of years ago the remains Of an
Egyptian were placed in the tomb. Today
they are one Of the most valued possessions
Of the British Museum. The grave of this
old settler was first seen by q wandering
Arab; he reported his discovery to Brit
ish official, who Immediately sent a couple
Of Egyptian soldiers to guard 1t day and
night until 1t could be safely removed. The
body Is not mummy Of the ordinary his
toric Egyptian period. such as that Of Ram
eses II. the father Of the Pharaoh of the
Exodus It was never bound up in linen or
cased in any painted coffin. but was merely
coated with preparation Of bitulnen, the
Arab word for which Is mumia-hence our
word mummy. To reach the period when
this man hunted along the banks Of the
Nile 1t Is necessary to travel backward In
time through the modern period since Eliz-
abeth, through medieval Europe through
the whole history Of Rome and Greece, past
the time Of the earliest mummied king the
museum possesses-past even Menes the
earliest king to which Egyptian records
make reference. who according to Mariette
ruled about 5O04 b. c.. Then We are among
two prehistoric races-one the conauerors
and the other the conquered-out Of which
sprang the Egyptian race OF the earliest
dynasties. It Is with these -emote stocks
that this man Is connected
Considering the conditions In which he
was found. It Is evident that he was assoc
ciated with Q late period Of the new stone
age OF Egypt. He was buried In charac-
teristically neolithic grave (the graves Of
this period are covered with rude slabs Of
stone), which has neolithic pots and chipped
flint weapons and knives found In other
parts OF the world. The fine. thin knives
were perhaps placed In the grave az part
Of q funeral ritual. They should be COM

letter Of the law, and holds the oriental in
check Splendidly

Much more contentment Is found by the
eastern In his humble surroundings and
simple needs than the restless and never
satisfied western finds in the progressive
achievements of his people. In fact orien-
tai civilization possesses strong features
and factors which the western people do
not appreciate. and 1t is the deliberate Judg-
ment Of many open-eyed travellers who
have studied the matter in an unprejudiced
spirit that to force upon eastern nations
the civilization Of the west would be q
change from good to bad. .<'+es
A writer In the Freie Wort frankfort -on-
the -Main) approaches the subject from a
slightly different standpoint. He says:
1.-THE Mohammedan religion has had a
great mission In the past; but In the future
1t will probably have a still more important
| role to play. namely, that of being the me-
diator between old prejudices and the pos
tive achievements of scientific research"
In conformity with these teachings con-
corning the superiority of oriental culture
and civilization, efforts are being made to
introduce them in the western nations
Buddhistic and Mohammedan missionaries
have been sent to the occident. and these
creeds have advocates and are practiced IN
Paris, in London and elsewhere.

the interests of the department of state and


that of finance.
1T will be seen that some alcaldes have
been suspended. some removed, and that
others are charged with serious offenses.
The secretary Of finance informs me that
only comparatively small portion Of the
municipalities are keeping their accounts
as they should be kept. By constant ex-
ercise Of the supervision referred to the
municipal administrations have been secur-
ed against serious losses or confusion. but
the indications are clear that without This
supervision and watchfulness and constant
untangling very serious confusion would
have arisen,. confusion which would have
jeopardized the municipal governments In
question.
Gen. Wood explains the call for the con-
stitutional convention and remarks:
THE election Of delegates was without
disturbance. and l regret to say without
that general interest which I had hoped
to see aroused. The contest was entirely
one-sided, the vote cast being compare
lively small. and the conservative element
displaying practically no activity or inter-
est in the campaign"
The Postal Frauds.
Referring to the arrest OF Neely. Rath-
bone and others, he says:
Mr.. Rathbone was succeeded by Mr.. M.
C. Posnes as director general of posts. The
frauds and irregularities were brought to a
summary conclusion, and at present the
larger receipts to the general government,
and is, l believe being ably and efficiently
administered. The irregularities disclosed
in investigation We're scandalous in char
acter, and I believe indicated a conspira cy
to Systematically defraud the island gov
ernment.''
The report shows an expenditure Of $780,
coo a month for public instruction, and Gen.
Wood. while acknowledging that the
schools are far from what he hopes to make
them. says they are in efficient operation.
He recommends the establishment Of agri-
cultural banks in Cuba to loan money to
planters. farmers and stockraisers at rea-
sonable rates.
The judiciary.
Gen. Wood says:
''The weakest portion Of the entire gov
ernment has been in its courts, and unless
this weakness can be corrected. and the
correction vigorously maintained. no free
government can exist in this island. Too
| much stress cannot be laid upon this point
as 1t is Of vital Importance. Conditions now
existing in the administration Of justice are
! much better than they were. but 1t is diff
cult to change in a day methods genera
tionS old.
1T was difficult at first to get any person
In the Island of Cuba to sign his or her
| name to complaint against a person OF
Importance or an official. The only way to
show the poor man in Cuba that he Is
equal to the plantation owner before the
law Is to assure him that he will be pro-
tected in telling the truth and that his ev-
| idence as to facts shall be as good as the
evidence OF any other man. This is a state
| of affairs hitherto unknown in this island
| AT present 1t Is commencing to be appre-
| ciated. The law is excellent; the procedure
| alone is bad
