Passengers of the Allegheny.
: New York, July 30.-The Hamburg
American line steamer Allegheny re-
ported that she was held in the harbor
of Cartagena. Colombia, for IL hours.
Passengers on the Allegheny report
that Abel Murille was arrested on tbs
ship at Cartagena and was taken
ashore by the Colombian authorities
Murillo protested against his arrest,
claiming he was entitled to the pro.
lection of the German flag.
Murillo is said to be the secretary
of General Tribe Tribe. He went to
Colombia, it is reported, with pass
port given by the representative of
the Colombian government at Wash
ington with the understanding that his
mission to Colombia was a peaceful
one.
According to a signed statement
made by three of the Allegheny's pas
sengers, Murillo left the United States
about four months ago on passport
signed by the Colombian minister in
Washington. On his arrival at Saw
emilia, he was arrested and taken to
Bogota, where he was released on the
understanding that he would sail on
the first vessel for the United States.
This Murillo did, boarding the Ale
gheny at Savenilla. He expressed
fears that he would be arrested at
Cartagena, and when the vessel ar
rived at that port. he refused to go
ashore when word was brought that
the governor wanted to see him. His
arrest followed. The statement made
by the passengers then says that Cap
tain Lowe of the Allegheny, protested
against the arrest, saying it was
Against International Law,
and at the same time the captain told
the mate to put the German flag on
the gangway, so that the Colombian
officers would have to tread on it if
they took Murillo.
The arrest did not take place at
this time, and the police withdrew on
the captains protest. Later, however,
the ships clearance papers were re-
fused, and the statement was made
that they would not be furnished until
Murillo was delivered. A signed state
ment concerning the incident says:
''The captain then went on land.
and after awhile returned with more
policemen, and we then thought that
he was going to give up the passenger
in exchange for his papers.
"Murillo declared that he would not
be arrested, and running to one of the
ships masts, he seized the German
flag, which was lying there, and
wrapped it about him. Then he stood
: forward and cried out:
Il am under the protection of the
German flag, and you have no right to
arrest me-
'sThe police went up to Murillo and,
tearing from him that dirty rag, as
they called the flag of Kaiser Wilhelm.
took the prisoner from the ship"
Neither the officials of the Allegheny
nor officials of the line would make
any statement concerning the arrest
Of Murillo.

Pro.Roer Mass MeetIna.

Kalamazoo, Mich, Jan. 15.-Boer
Delegate Vessels, who addressed a
large pro-Boer mass meeting here
Monday night; talked about the Boer
invasion of Cape Colony. "To under.
stand the situation" he said, ut is nee.
essary to go back before the war. |
went to American Consul Stowe at
Cape Town to make arrangements to
have President Mckinley move for a
court of arbitration, but Sir Alfred
Laurier told me 1t is too late to talk
of arbitration and soon after made
the significant statement that the
South African element must be
crushed 1t is evident that the British
aimed not only to annex our republics,
but to go farther. They have driven us
out of our country, and we have as
much right in Cape Colony as any
where. Our supporters there include
many English.
Dewet has been in touch with this
movement since September. We will
win, if not this year, next year. We
will never submit to the British fag.
The British market is already affected,
and we hope Wall street will be also,
until commerce joins with the com.
mon people in demanding the end of
the war"

(Bensons Plaster Is Palms Master0

These are days of records and of the beat
ING of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
auickness of action and thoroughness of
cure. has no records to beat except its own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than ecer. 1t
sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. It marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured quicky-and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other Ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as icedoes to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits of Bensons Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
pists land q thousand times as many nom
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one of the few % home remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-five highest awards have been made

plasters of Europe and America. Better
