JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER GOES INTO THE
UNITED STATES STEEL CORPORATION

that the capital stock of the new United
States Steel corporation probably will be
increased by $1O0,000, coo; that this increase
was made necessary by reason OF the
acquisition of the Rockefeller iron mines
and properties in Lake Superior.
The attention of Robert Bacon. of J.
p. Morgan & Co., was called today to re-
port that the time for the deposits of
stock OF the steel company which must
be made on Wednesday. was likely to be
extended. He said
4 think that there will be no neces-
sity for that. The great bulk of the
stock will be in by tomorrow and If some
of the transfers of the stock are delayed,
as reported, by the technical Irregular
ties or by other unpreventable causes,
there will be no disposition to reject de-
pOsitS of that kind.
1t is understood that so to So per cent
of the stock has already been deposited
ard it is probable that the amount de-
posted by tomorrow night will be 80 per
cent at least.
It was also reported that part of the in
creased capital of the United States Steel
corporation would be used to take over
the property of the American Bridge com
pany. This is one of the corporations
financed by J. p. Morgan & Co. The

PEACE OUTLOOK IN SOUTH
AFRICA IS a GLOOMY ONE
Indications Are That the Beers Have No Intention
of Laying Down Their Arms.

London, March 19.-Lord Roberts, in
a letter to a correspondent, expresses a
confident hope that Lord Kitchener
will soon be able to secure peace in
South Africa; but thus far there is no
sign from Pretoria or Cape Town that
peace is near.
The latest news is that General
Fourie, with 500 men, escaped Sunday
from the British columns that were en-
deavoring to corner the commando east
of Bloemfontein. Further big opera
tons will be started in Orange River
colony within a few days.
General Ian Hamilton, addressing the
Authors club in London last evening,
made the curious suggestion that the
Boer prisoners should be sent to Canada
to work the railways, where they would
learn the English language and become
imbued with English sentiments.
In the house of lords today the pre-
mier, Lord Salisbury, replying to in
quiries on the subject of an investiga-
ton into the conduct of the war in
South Africa, said the government had
not made any promise to institute an
investigation. He feared that a full.
just and equitable inquiry would lead
to renewal of the same species of re-
grettable discussion as occurred during
the exchange of speeches between Lord
WOlseley and Lord Lansdowne. Still,
If the government was urged to make
an inquiry, it could not refuse without
casting suspicious upon the army.
Lord RoSeberry wished to know when

SENATORS AGREEABLE
TO LEAVE CHOICE
TO THE PRESIDENT.

New York, March ia dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says: If
the view of the administration is sup
ported by the next congress. the presi-
dent will obtain discretionary authority
to acquire either the Nicaragua or the
Panama canal route. On this account
the stock of the Panama canal has
risen since the adjournment of con-
gress.
Several prominent members of the
senate foreign relations committee cor
daily favor the idea of empowering
the president to choose the route he
thinks the more advantageous, al
though the bill which passed the house
and was pending before the senate dur
ing the last session provided for the
adoption of the Nicaragua project.
Secretary Hay has requested Mr..
Flava, the Colombian minister, to sub
NIT a formal memorandum explaining
the verbal proposals regarding Ameri-
can acquisition of the Panama canal
route which was submitted recently.
Mr.. Corea, the Nicaraguan minister.
and Mr. Calvo. the Costa Rican min
lister. both of whom have worked en-
ergetically to promote the Nicaraguan
canal, viii leave next week for their
respective countries, and will return
charged with new Instructions relative
to the concession their governments are
willing to make TO the United States.

UNITED STATES TO
PROTECT IT'S CONSUL

washington, March 1s.-The state
department, through Minister LOOMS,
recently lodged a most vigorous protest
to the Venezuelan government against
further Interference with Mr.. Baiz, the
United States consular agent at Mar
ceIona, Venezuela. It knows. nothing
of the last reported infringement Of his
liberty, but il is presumed that the af-
fair is connected directly with the
troubles which lead to the first pre-
test.
Ignacio NJ. Baiz is not a citizen of
the United States, a fact that may add
to the difficulty which our government
will experience in protecting him, as
il is determined to do. He was born in
St Thomas. and a native Danish
citizen, so far as is known here, but
having an exequateur issued by the
Venezuelan government recognizing
him as a United States consular agent,
the state department has decided that
he is entitled to the protection of the
United States government.
It appears that he is engaged in bust
ness and became involved in trouble
with Venezuelan military by resisting
an ATTEMPT to collect a forced loan
from him. More than a month ago the
state department forwarded its instruc-
lions to Minister LOOMS TO represent
to the Venezuelan government that
these annoying interferences with our
official must cease. but SO far no re-
suits have appeared.

WARSHIP
GOING TO MOROCCO

Washington. March 1S.-The state de-
partment is giving renewed attention
to the settlement of the claims against
the government of Morocco. The claim
OF Marcus Ezagui, who was murdered
at Fee last June, has been adjusted by
the payment of $1,000, but there are
other claims equally meritOriOus which
have not been satisfactorily adjusted.
Recently the state department gave
these consideration. all efforts on the
part of Mr. Gummere, the consul gen.
e-al at Tangiers. to adjust them having
proved ineffective.
Under these circumstances Il special
mission, following in this respect the
practice of other events, seemed near.
Instructions TO this end today were
sent to Mr.. Gummere. as well as
further instruction to demand an apol-
Ogy for an apparent diScOurtesy on the
part of the grand vizier and the min
lister Of foreign affairs in attempting
to defeat the purpose of the state de-
partmeut to dispatch a special mission

Admiral rogers aboard, is rapidly
nearing Gibraltar, with every prospect
of reaching Tangiers by the end of this
week. She viii take Mr.. Gummere
aboard and convey him to Mazargan,
where the consul general will disem-
bark and go overland to the Moorish
capital The New York will remain at
Mazargan under his orders until some
sort of settlement is reached, and Mr..
Gummere was today notified TO this
effect

People of Martinique Make a Sue
cessfuI Protest.

Romblon, Island of Romblon, March
II (by mail from Boac, Island of Marin
duque. March 1S).-The question of at
taching this Island of Martinique to
the Prince of Tayabas, discussed by the
American Philippine commission since
their arrival here, has been decided in
the negative. The sentiment of the
people was wholly in favor of forming
a separate province. A population of
90, 900 was represented during the dis
cussiOns, and the commission has met
intelligent delegations from ali the
towns on the island.
There are 800 insurgents still in the

the pacifcation of the island and to
accept American sovereignty.
