CABLE TO MANILA,
Consul RNblee Writes to the State De-

I'm connection with the proposed con-

Hong Kong says Consul General Rublee
at Hong Kong, in a communication to
the State Department dated July 3, Il
have to report that the business commu-
nifty of Hong Kong takes a keen interest
in obtaining additional cable facilities The
excessive rates charged by the present ca
BILE companies have been a source Of long
continued dissatisfaction. and American
cable company that would be the means of
reducing rates would be extremely popular
in the orient, and should receive large
share of local patronage.
THE present cable tariff between the
United States and Hong Kong is from
S1.65 to S1.75 Omitted States currency per
word. 1t is reported that an American
cable company would establish a rate not
would be a great boon to business men of
the orient. The chairman of the Hong
Kong chamber of commerce last month at
my suggestion, brought the matter before
the committee of the chamber, and this
representative institution indorsed the pro-
ject, expressing the opinion that the in
creased facilities afforded by reduced tariff
rates would lead to a very considerable ex-
pansion of trade between the far east and
western countries"

INCLINED TO DOUBT
MINISTER WI ON THE Published
REPORT OF HIS TRANSFER.
Has Not Been Notified by HIS Govern
ment That He Will be
Sent Away.

Owing to the fact that before the Boxer
troubles developed in China that govern
ment appointed kuei Chun. member of
the tsung Ii yamen. to the post OF Chinese
minister to ST Petersburg, Minister WI Is
not inclined to credit the press dispatch
from London stating that the Chinese min
lister at London is to be transferred to St.
Petersburg and that he (Minister Wu) will
be transferred to London Mr.. WI said to-
day that he recently read in Chinese
newspaper that Kuei Chun was making
preparations for his departure from Pekin
for the Russian capital, and he could not
reconcile these facts with the report from
London of the transfers in China's diplo-
matte representation Kuei Chun, when
assigned to ST. Petersburg, did not proceed
at once to his post, owing to the outbreak
of the Boxer troubles; but Minister Wu has
not heard anything since the appointment
to indicate that his mission has been can
celed.
= However, but for these contradictory re-
ports, the minister seemed to consider his
transfer not at all unlikely, though he
has not been notified by his government
that a change is to be made. He has now
served at Washington year or more over
the usual three years term during which
ministers from China remain at one post.
In the event that the transfer shall actu-
ally be made, Mr.. WI was not willing to
state who his probable successor in Wash
ington would be, though the inference
drawn from the dispatch from London is
that Ii Ching Fang, the adopted son Of Ii
Hung Chang, having declined the st. Pc
tersburg post, will come to Washington.
Mr.. WI arrived in Washington this morn
ing, back from his trip to Narragansett and
other points north Owing to the press of
matters demanding his attention he will
not be able to be at Buffalo on Presidents s
day, September g. but will send one or more
members of his legation staff to represent
him on that occasion.

Admiral Schley's Counsel to Appeal
to Him Regarding HOwisOn.


Admiral Schley's counsel have made 1t
known that they do not consider the per-
sonal correspondence which has taken
place between Mr.. Hackett, acting secre-
tary of the navy, and Rear Admiral Howl
son as in any way replying to the request
of Admiral Schey, made some time ago,
that the Navy Department should forward
his admiral Schley's) letter, inclosing a
clipping of the alleged Howison interview,
to Admiral Howison for that officers con-
sideration. They point out that the ex-
change between Mr.. Hackett and Admiral
Howison was purely personal, and leaves
the status of the Howison matter at the
point where Mr.. Hackett refused to Off
cially comply with the request preferred by
them.
There will be no further action in regard
to Admiral Howison by Messrs. Rayner
and Wilson before the court meets, unless
Secretary Long arrives in Washington be-
fore the date set for the opening of the
inquiry. In that event an appeal will most
probably be made to Secretary Long to
have the question of Admiral Howison's S
eligibility to serve on the court finally set
tied before the tribunal meets, in order that
no delay be experienced through a pre-
sentation of the matter to the court itself.

TASK ACCOMPLISHED
Gen. Wood Expresses Satisfaction
With Its Work.
RETU RNING TO HAVANA

General Leonard Wood stopped in Wash
ington for a few hours toda: IN his return
to Cuba. He sails from Norfolk tomorrow
on the government steamer kanawha,
which has been placed at his disposal dur
Ing his illness. Though slightly thinner
than he was, General Wood is looking none
the worse for the protracted attack Of
typhoid fever from which he has suffered.
He expects that Mrs. Wood. who is now
at East Aurora, n. Y, will follow him to
Cuba in the course of a few weeks. On his
way here General Wood saw Secretary Root
and he says that the Secretary is not seri-
ously indisposed and that he will probably
be in Washington in the course of few
days.
The Conventions Work Praised.
In the opinion of General Wood, the
Cuban constitutional convention has prac-
tically concluded the important work in
trusted to it. The electoral bill having
been agreed upon there is nothing remain
ing for the convention to do, and the prin-
cipal reason for General Woods return to
Havana at this time is that he may be
present at the close of the convention,
which is awaiting his arrival
General Wood expresses satisfaction with
the work of the convention and declares
that, the whole, the delegates approach

great deal remains to be done in the in
terval. The convention itself fixed dates
for the various elections, the United States
authorities purpoSey refraining from any
attempt to influence the delegates on that
point
But it will be 112 days after the conven-
tion adjourns before the first elections can
be held in that case for the municipal Of
ficers, and another period of the same
length of time must intervene between the
general and presidential election, so that
when all these periods are aggregated it
will not be possible to install the

Meanwhile, as the United States officials
are, by the terms of the electoral BILL.
chargeable with the supervision of the
election, it will not be possible, says Cen
eral Wood, to completely evacuate the is
land until the Cuban president has been
installed.
1t is understood that there is to be no re-
vision of the present Cuban tariff such

well-founded complaint against some pro-
visions of the existing law, it is believed
that good policy would be served by re-
framing from further changes until the
