BODIES I'LL FOR PEACE
WITHDRAWAL OF EXEQUATURS MAY
BE FORERUNNER OF WAR.
Venezuela's Action in Regard to CO.
Iombians Regarded Showing
the Situation Is Serious.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The latest de-
velopments in the Venezuelan-C Colombian
situation reported in the Associated Press
dispatches, namely, the withdrawal of the
exequaturs of all the Colombian consuls in
Venezula, has increased the feeling of Of
ficials here that the relations between the
two countries are still of a very serious
character. In diplomatic circles especially,
the condition existing between these two
republics is viewed with alarm, though
their representatives here are without any
recent information that will throw light on
the situation. The withdrawal of the ex-
equaturs of consuls is a decided demonstra-
tion of unfriendliness to the country they
represent, and leaves them powerless to
transact any business. Such action usually
accompanies declaration OF war or a state
of hostilities. In the present instance it
follows the withdrawal of the Colombian
minister, DR.. Rico, from Caracas to Bogota.
The latter's departure followed "a stormy
scene in the Venezuelan Cabinet as a re-
suit of an effort of President Castro to give
Dr. Rico his passports. DIR. RicO's sudden
leaving was entirely voluntary, but he felt
that the situation between the two coun-
tries was so serious that il was preferable
TO communicate with his own government
i'm person rather than through the mails.
The officials of the legations of the cOEn-
tries interested continue hopeful that war
may be averted. The ColOmbians say that
the people of both republics are opposed to
any war and that the present troubles are
due to the Vaccinations of individuals
with personal ends in view.
The Navy Department has been advised
of the sailing of the battleship Iowa from
Acapulco at Mexico for Panama, where
she has been dispatched to look out for
American interests during the revolutionary
troubles on the iSthmus.

ANOTHER ANDREE RUMOR.
Indians Said to Have Found Two
Bodies i'm n Broken Basket

CHICAGO. Sept. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from Kankakee, H., says that
Walter W. Cobb and G. w Shields. we'll
known young men of Kankakee, who have
just returned from a forty-five days trip
through the Hudson bay region. bring back
a story told by Indians of the far north
that may relate to the missing explorer
Andree and one of his two companions. At
Moose Factory, a Hudson bay trading post
at the mouth of Moose river. the seven men
stationed there reported that a party of
Indians who came down from the far north
last spring told Of the finding of the bodies
Of two white men at point about 900
miles north of Moose Factory. The story
Of the Indians was that the bodies were
found in a broken basket, their description
of which seemed to indicate a basket of a
balloon, and that the bodies had been bur
led by Indians The Indians brought moth
ing in support of their story, but the men
at Moose Factory, Cobb and Shields say,
were inclined to believe the tale.

Expiatory Ceremony Arranged by the
German Authorities Is Not sat
isfactory to the Envoy.
EFFORT TO HUMILIATE HIM
WORDING OF HIS INTENDED SPEECH
CHANGED MATERIALLY,
And Objection Made to Attendants
Frustrating Themselves Before
His German Majesty.

BERLIN, Sept lit is now very doubt
full. according to a dispatch to the Lokal
Anzeiger from Basle, Switzerland, whether
Prince Chun will come to Berlin to make
formal apology for the murder of Baron
Won Ketteler. Members of he expiatory
mission say: "Under present conditions we
can never go to Berlin. We would rather
die than accept them" 1t appears that they
object particularly to Prince Chuns at
tendants prostratng themselves before EN-
peror William, inasmuch as this is spe-
cial honor reserved for the Emperor of
the Kaisers equality.
The following information is given regard
ing Prince Chun's speech TO the Kaiser:
Prince Chun intended to say: "The Chinese
government regrets that Baron Won Ket-
teller was killed." but the German govern
ment dictated the following form: THE
Chinese government begs pardon for the
murder of the German minister Baron Won
Ketteler."
The Chinese in Basle are trying to give
the case international Importance by en-
phasizing the fact that one of the dignita-
ries selected for prostration was made
baronet by Queen Victoria, while another
mas the cross Oh the Legion OF Honor.
1t is alleged that Emperor William is
determined that the protocol shall be
signed before he receives Prince Chun and
that he will insist upon an apology for the
murder of Baron Won ketteler. Beyond
that, however, the ceremony of reception
will be deprived of everything of a humil-
iating character, full honors being awarded
to Prince Chun a brother of Emperor
kwang Su on his way TO the palace.
LONDON, Sept. 2-''The delay in the pro-
mitigation of the edicts necessary to COM
plete the protocol is due to the Chun diff
ficulty,' says a dispatch to the Times from
Peking THE Chinese version is that EN-
peror William insisted upon Prince Chun
Kotowing, and when this refused
wanted his suite to kotow. For a century
past all enVOyS to Peking have refused to
perform this Darbaric ceremony, and there
is great astonishment here that Germany
has raised the question, as the German min
lister is so anxious to get the protocol
signed that he has to-day, for the second
time, urged the ministers not to wait for
the edict but to get The protocol signed and
TO trust the Chinese ENJOYS for securing
the edicts afterward. In view of the unsat-
isfactory nature of the aims of the edicts
it is impossible for Sir Ernest Satow and
Mr. ROckhill TO assent to this proposal,
although a majority OF the ministers of
the powers are willing.
owing TO the prOtracted delay Mr.. Rock
hill has been compelled to decline the
French offer of passage TO Japan on the
cruiser Pascal"

scbIey's Attorneys Are Said

CAPTAIN CHADWICK NOT LIKED
SAID TO BE HATED MORE THAN

Schley Than Sampson Could.
special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The news tele-
graphed by your correspondent last Thurs
day night that Sampson is so i'll he will
probably be unable TO give testimony be-
fore the Schley court of inquiry is now re-
ceiving ample public confirmation. Schley's
attorneys have had plenty OF time to con-
slider the new developments. but have been
unable to decide what course they will
take if Sampson is not available as wit
ness They expected Sampson to lay down
the case of the department in his testimony
which they were ready TO attack. 1t has
been known for some time that in his pres
ent condition he would be unable to make
a strong and fOrcible presentation.
Now that Schley's attorneys may antici-
pate the declarations of naval surgeons
that Sampson cannot testify either directly
or by deposition they are confronted with
the fact that Captain Chadwick, in COM
mand of the New York and SIMPSONS
chief of staff throughout the campaign.
will present the Navy Departments case.
The Schley partisans really hate Chad
wick more than they do Sampson. He is
able, adroit, strong and fearless. He could
take good care of himself on the stand:
Knowing the whole campaign down TO the
minutest detail and in thorough sympathy
with the department, he is the ideal officer
for Simpsons side. Schley's attorneys
feel that in the mind of the public the
issue is Sampson VS.. Schley. AS much as
they hate Chadwick he has as yet no
prominent place in the public mind. They
expected TO show that Sampson was
actuated by bitter personal prejudice
against Schley. They can hardly do this
if he is absent and seriously i'll, perhaps
beyond recovery.
Sampson is the man who has, in an Of
fetal letter, accused Schley of "reprehen-
sible conduct If he cannot repeat the
charge in court, face to face with the ac-
cused, the attorneys do not want the de-
partment to make the charge in a personal
way Then it would become a question
of naval ethics. While Schley can make
no move in the matter it is suggested by
some of his more conservative friends that
the President step in and, as commander
in-chief of the navy, stop the whole thing.
it is pointed out that if, on account of
the present unfortunate illness of Samp-
son, he could assume no satisfactory con-
clusion could be reached on the record of
the naval campaign already made up by
the official orders, then public good
could come of further agitation and that
it is better TO stop. 1t is known that many
of Schley's closest friends entertain this
