Reports the Cruiser Cincin-
natl at Colon.
MASON TO RELIEVE HIM
THE WISCONSIN, REACHES SAN
FRANCISCO ON HER WAY SOUTH.
It is Believed That There Has Been
No Radical Change in Situa-
ton on the Isthmus.

The Navy Department has received a tele-
gram from Capt. Mclean, commanding
the cruiser Cincinnati, announcing the arrf-
val of that vessel at Colon yesterday after
a quick run from Cape Haitien. He said
nothing In regard to political conditions,
and the natural inference is that there has
been no radical change in the situation
since the latest report from the United
States consul. At that time the revoll-
tionary forces were threatening to advance
on Panama in full strength, but were not
interfering in any way with the Panama.
railroad or traffic across the isthmus.
1t is assumed that Captain Mclean is
looking over the ground with view to the
preparation of a report on the situation
on the east side. The department is being
promptly advised of conditions in the vicin-
ity of Panama on the west side, by Cap
tain Potter, commanding the Ranger.
Nothing has been heard from that officer
this week His silence Is construed to
mean that affairs are practically I'M
changed.
To Succeed Mclean.
Commander Newton E. Mason, now on
duty at the Naval War College, has been
ordered to the command of the cruiser Gin
cnnati. now at Colon, succeeding Com
mander Thomas c. Mclean, whose tour of
sea service has about expired. Commander
Mason will proceed to Colon and take over
the command of the Cincinnati Command
er Mclean returning to the United States
by steamer. This change is taken to mean
that the department intends to keep the
Cincinnati on the lsthmian station for
indefinite period.
Progress Of the Wisconsin.
A telegram was received at the Navy De-
partment today from Rear Admiral Sias
Casey, announcing the arrival yesterday at
San Francisco of his flagship, the Wiscon-
SIM which is under orders for Panama. Or
ders were sent forward from the depart
ment Friday last to the Mare Island yard
directing the cOmmandant to have coal aEu
provisions ready for the Wisconsin upon
her arrival. and TO do all in his power to
expedite her speedy departure for the 18TH
mus.
The Canal Franchise.
A pamphlet has been prepared for dstri-
button among the Colombian rebels, setting
forth that the Panama canal franchise Will
expire in two years and the revolution must
be continued until the franchise lapses. If
it is, the pamphlet says, the government at
Bogota will give up the right and the vic
tors can negotiate with the United States.
1t Is noted incidentally, that the revolution
list government has notified the United States
that if 1t wins it will not recognize the act
of the Colombian president, exercising his
war power in 1898 by which the canal fran
chise was extended for six years beginning
in 1894.
The rebels did so notify this government,
which refused to consider that notice as
obstacle in the way of the canal The au-
thorities here believe the government at
Bogota can suppress the rebellion, and are
preparing for extra session of the senate
in November to ratfy the treaty now being
negotiated.

Object of the Preservative.

THE claim is made, and abundantly sup
ported that the preventative is not used in
butter for the purposes Of deodoTizing or
of removing existing rancidity. Boric acid
and most of the boron preservatives do not
possess the quality necessary to deodoriza-
ton or to the removal Of randdity. The
use of borax. might have the effect, if
used in sufficient quantities, of removing
rancidity, but such effect would be either
absolutely absent or extremely small when
boraX Is used in the small quantity neces-
sary for preservatiye purposes alone.
Further. the preservation is used when
butter is fresh and free from rancidity or
unpleasant odor, even renovated butter, as
now generally made is deodoriZed and has
rancidity removed by processes requiring no
chemicals, SO that If boraX or other preser-
natives are used they cannot have the effect
of deodorZing or removing rancidity, as this
condition does not exist when the preserva-
tive is used The preservative is not intro
duced into the butter for the purpose of
removing rancidity, but as a preventative
against such condition arising.

COMING VIRGINIA APPOINTMENT
Vacancy to Occur Soon in Eastern Dis
trict Attornevship.

The belief of some Of the republicans of
Virginia that ex-Judge l.. L. Lewis of
Richmond may be appointed United States
attorney of the eastern district Of Virginia
to succeed Edgar Allen. whose term viii
expire about the middle of December, is
largely based on the assumption that Judge
Lewis stands better with the President per-
sonally than any Of those aspiring to the
position and that the President would prob
ably offer him the position. The fight for
this place has been on for several months.
Edgar Allen is a candidate to succeed HIM
self, as is well known. and Is backed
strongly by professional men throughout
the state. He is, however. without the back
ing of the Virginia organization, which has
conferred Its influence upon ex-Represen-
tative r. T. Thorpe of Norfolk Mr. Allen
Is going on with his fight regar rdless of the
opposition to him by National Committee
man Bowden and State Chairman Agnew
Mr.. Thorpe is a man of ability with a
clean record. and there is nothing against
his appointment II the President sees fit
TO follow the wishes of the Virginia oreani-
zation. Mr.. Aliens record Is also said to
be good one in the Department Of Justice.
President Roosevelt consulted Judge
Lewis to a number of important Virginia
appointments during the past year. and at
one time had the name of Judge Lewis un-
der consideration for appointment as Judge
of the western district Of the state Inas-
much as Judge Lewis lived outside of the
district 1t was deemed inexpedient to ap-
point him. Judge Lewis Is not a candidate
for the attorneyship OF the eastern district,
and IL he is selected to that position 1t Will
be because the President offers 1t to him
and ignores the organization recomme nda-
tion.

TO STOP SMUGGLING.
The Revenue Cutter Algonquin Sails
for Porto Rico.

The United States revenue cutter Algon-
quin, Capt. T. G. F. Wadsworth, which
has been assigned to the duty of putting
an end to smuggling said to exist on the
coast of Porto Rico, sailed from Baltimore
Saturday for her new station, and will, 1t
Is expected, be located at that island per-
manently. The Algonquin is a handsome
steel ship of 738 tons. She is 2O5 feet long
30 feet wide and II feet deep, and her hull
with Its ram-shaped bow, has a very war
like appearance She carries two 6-pound-
eTs. two 1-pounders anu Colt automatic
gun, all of the rapid-fire type, and with
her high speed OF about twenty miles an
hour she will, 1t is expected, soon put an
end to the smuggling and put the smugglers
out Of business.
The cutter has the distinction of being
the first vessel sent by the Treasury De-
partment to our island possessions for duty
The Algonquin was built at Cleveland, Ohio
In 1898, and an effort was made to get her
out Of the lakes In the Atlantic before the
war with Spain. Hostilities began, how
ever, before she passed the canal into the
st. Lawrence river, and she was tied up
at Montreal throughout the war. The ves-
sci carries a crew of about sixty-five officers
and men, and has in her equipment two
swift launches to aid in the chase after the
lawbreakers.

RIOT|NG IN HAVANA
Police Captain and Two OFF,
GERS Wounded.
TWO STRIKERS KILLED
POLICE UNABLE TO PROTECT
STREET RAILWAYS.
Mayor Said to Be In Sympathy With
the Strikers-Situetion
is Grave.

HAVANA, November 24.-Police Captain
Maso and two officers were wounded and
two strikers were killed during a demon
stration today In front of the palace. In
addition two policemen and several strik-
ers were wounded.
The strike here became general today.
The conductors and motormen continued
running their cars until 10 o'clock, when
Superintendent Greenwood ordered a sus-
pension of traffic. He had asked the civil
governor for protection. but the authorf-
ties were unable to protect the cars Sew
eral of them were wrecked and some motor
men and conductors were injured The
men were willing to remain at work. but
the officials of the company, in order to
protect the property, deemed 1t wise TO
suspend the service.
The situation is grave. The police will
not make arrests, owing to the pronounced
sympathy of the mayor and other city Of
ficials with the strikers. A mob of strikers
drove the employees of the Western railroad
from the trains this morning. No bread or
meat Is on sale and a continuance of the
strike will cause much suffering to the
poor,
