Cape Town, July 2s.-Gen. DeWet
proved that he could evade friends as
successfully as he did enemies, by ar
irving here unexpectedly this afternoon
and upsetting all the elaborate plans
prepared for his reception. He strolled
through the streets, casually nodding
to acquaintance and occasionally to
former opponent. Arrangements were
quickly made by Afrikanders to enter

semi-priYate dinner, tickets to which
already stand at five guineas ($26.25)

A striking contrast to De Vets re-
turn was the scene Sunday when Gems.
Botha and De la Rey attended church.
The building was packed, mainly with
women, and the service was scarcely
concluded when their Cape Town adj

generals sat. With difficulty they re-
treated to the vestry. The congrega

Washington, July 2s.-The action of
Gen. Chaffee in reprimanding Capt.
Frederick S. Wild, Thirteenth Infan-
try, upon the sentence of court
martial has been received at the War
Department. Capt. Wild was in COM
mand at Lingayan, where a cock pit
was burned, two soldiers of the COM
mand having previously been stabbed
in the cock pit. 1t was generally I'M
derstood that the cock pit was burned
by the soldiers in revenge. 1t was
brought out in the trial that Capt.
Wild had been requested by the civil
authorities to place a guard over the
property at the first attack and failed
to do so, and second attempt at
burning resulted in its destruction.
Gen. Chaffee, in carrying out the sem
tence of the court, S, VS..
The necessity for 'pis trial is based
on the intention to ccentuate to the
accused that the exis ing order to give
complete and unqualified support to
all branches of the civil government
in these islands must be compiled with,
and to show by example that nothing
short of such support will be accept
ed from officers on duty in this di-
vision. Capt. Wild's conduct is but
mildly punished by reprimand. 1t is
estructive of the very foundations of
discipline, and, when considered In
connection with the Importance of the
duty which devolves upon him, is in
the highest degree reprehensible."

Do So.
Manila paper has been received at the
War Department giving information
concerning the trip of the teachers
who were murdered in the Island of
Cebu some time ago. According to a
report made by Inspector Ross of Ce-
blu to the chief constabulary, the four
lost teachers were warned by him not
to go into the interior but they in
sisted that 1t was safe and took the
risk. The article continues:
They talked With the
inspector about their expedition
and he advised them If they went too
far in a certain direction they would
be likely to run across an hombre
called Adoy, member of the noto-
rious Cabal family much feared by the
natives. A member of this family had
been killed a week or two prior to this
conversation, and this was not
supposed to make 1t any
more desirable for any white
person to fall into Adoy's power. The
teachers answered that they thought
that they would be all right as the di-
vision superintendent of education had
told them that he went without
guard everywhere. The inspector in
uuired if any of the party had pis-
tolls. They answered in the negative.
He repeated his warning to them not
to attempt their proposed journey UNI
der such conditions. but they went for
ward despite his warning"

THE MARCUS ISLAND AFFAIR.
Capt. RosehilI May Get United states
in Trouble Unless Minister Bucks
Letter Catches Him.


Washington, July 2S-A cablegram
received at the State Department to-
day from United States Minister Buck
at Toxic, states that the Japanese
minister of foreign affairs has inform
ed him that a Japanese naval vessel
would leave yesterday for Marcus
Island. The purpose of her going is
not to make trouble, but to prevent it..
An official of the foreign office was
to go on the vessel, and he would carry
a letter to Capt. Rosehill, cabled from
the State Department here to Minister
Buck advising the captain not to make
any disturbance or to resort to violence
to obtain possession of the island,
with possible loss of life and involving
international complications. If the
captain would observe this advice the
department for its part would endea-
vCr to see settled the deficient claim to
Marcus Island automatically.
Capt. Rosehill is reported to have
sailed from Honolulu for Marcus ISL
and in a schooner July II, and it. is
therefore probable that he is already
at Marcus Island or very near there.
In that case 1t may be the letter will
come into his hands 100 late to avert
trouble, but the department officials
are hoping for the best.

SECRETARY MULLAHY's ARREST.
Prosecutors Charging Him with Re-
sponsibility for Circular.

Wilkesbarra, Pa, July 2S.-J. F.
Mullahy, secretary of the stationary
firemen's association of Pennsylvania
was arrested here this afternoon
charged with libel iTwentY-five COM
plants had been lodged against him by
men who are now employed in various
capacities by the coal companies in this
section. 1t was alleged that Mullahy
had printed a circular containing the
names of the prosecutors. He classified
them under the head OF unfair work
men" and then, SO 1t was complained,
posted them in conspicuous places
throughout the region. Two women
testified that they saw man who
looked like the defendant, put up the
circulars on telegraph poles near their
homes. Magistrate Pollock held Null
ahy in the sum of $500 on each
charge, which made the bail price $12,-
500. The bail was promptly furnished
by friends of the accused. Secretary
Mullahy has been very active in the
strike. 1t is said that through his
influence he has held 95 per cent. OF
the striking firemen firm. Engineers
and pumpmen have gone back to work
in large numbers since the strike be-
gan. but the firemen have remained
out with the miners almost to man.
At strike headquarters Hullahy's ar
rest on so many warrants is termed an
outrage.
Sheriff Jacobs was called to Duryea
to-day to dispense mob which had
gathered in the vicinity of the
Warncke washery and prevented some
men from going to work. When the
sheriff arrived on the scene the crowd
left.
The work of distributing relief
among the strikers of the Wyoming
region began to-day. The most needy
cases will receive aid first.

this afternoon and evening in Cam

which comprise the district. The can
didates for the nomination are Henry

man, and ]. Alpheus Van SAINT. The
contest has been one of the most bit
ter ever held in Southern New Jersey.
The polls We're open from p. m. to s
p. M, and the three hours We're marx
ed with serious fighting. One man was
killed in this city, and Joe" Goddard,
the we'll known pugilist of Philadel-
phia was probably fatally shot, while

place to anoGher. The pugilist got
into quarrel with negro constable
named Robert Washington. 1t is al
legged that Goddard assaulted the ne

in self-defense, shot Goddard in the
head. The constable surrendered him
self to the police and the wounded
prize fighter was brought to Cooper
Hospital here, where the physicians
say he may die.
Near the same polling place Con-
stable Isaac Fowler, while in a fight,
was stabbed twice. His wounds,
though painful, are not considered Sc
rious. There was considerable trouble
in Pensauken township and at Mer-
chantville, and a number of persons
were badly beaten.
The most serious ARRAY occurred at
Third and Beckett streets in this city.
Each side had a crowd at the polling
place at that point and a general riot
was started. When it was all over, 1t
was found that a man who was later
identified as John Morrisey of Phila-
delphia, aged So years, had been shot
through the heart by some unknown
person, and policeman, not in uni

At midnight both sides claimed the
election, but the returns up to that

that Van SAINT had secured majority

Fort de France, Island of Martinique,
Monday, July 7.-Dr. T. A. Jaggar
of Harvard University, representing
the United States Geological Survey in
the West Indies, arrived for the second
time at Fort de France on June "a
and has since visited Mont Pelee twice.
He has also made excursions to the
southern end Of Martinique and to the
warm springs of the interior Of the
island. DIR. Jaggar came directly from
st. Vincent.
AS result of recent examinations of
hAlC NAdN VI ItlcG anu C&DlOId~
ton of the track of the devastating
blast which destroyed St. Pierre, 1t
appears that there Is extraordinary
similarity between the eruptions of the
Soufriere volcano of St. Vincent and
Mont Pelee. The products are the
same, both are characterized by the
absence of lava and the work of de-
struction, both to inanimate objects
and to mankind, was accomplished in
much the same way. The destructive
effects OF the eruption in st. Vincent
covered a much more extensive area.
but the loss of human life was much
less.

There has been no active eruption of

accounts for the many reports by
passing vessels of eruptions, hot lava

merely superficial one. AS at St Vim
cent, the many mud spouts. steam jets
and local craters that have been re-
ported are all superficial, caused by
rainwater draining into the beds of
hot, dry gravel.
Experiment stations Needed.
The two volcanoes of st. Vincent and
Martinique were in eruption in sympa-

come less active since and II Is proba-

activity, to judge by the present signs.
In this opinion the French scientific
