Of the war were pitifuI and inadequate,
as were the facilities for transportation.

hospital. and the suffering endured by
army patients in the unsuitable build

This was the condition OF affairs when
the women took active and authorita-

Of Joints Of Leg.
Pain Ceased, Harness Removed and
Child Danced for Joy.

Fall River, Mass, July 29.-An al
legged miracle wrought at the shrine of
St. Anne here, is being discussed, to-
day. A pilgrimage to the shrine came
TO the city, yesterday, from New Bed
ford. 1t included more than 1000 peo-
pie mostly women and children, among
them the mother of Estelle DupreZ,
aged four years, who was a cripple
suffering from q disease of the joints OF
the leg brought her child. To make
walking more comfortable, sort of
harness was provided for the girl.
While she was standing before the
statue of ST. Anne in the church of that
name a strange spirit seized her, she
afterwards explained. All pain ceased
and she felt able to walk without
artificial aid. The harness was re-
moved and DIR. Bergeron. who was in
the vicinity, examined the child's limb.
She ran. skipped and jumped in the
presence Of the doctor and when the
case became generally known there
was n sensation in the large congrega-
ton participating in the pilgrimage.

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS FAIL.
The Revolution in Colombia Will Go
Merrily On.

New York, July 29.-Peace negotiations
which have been in progress in this city
for the last week between Gen. Pampilio
Gutierrez of the Colombian government,
and Gen. Gabriel Vargas Santos, chief
of the revolution in Colombia, have come
to an abrupt end. and according to the
Tribune the instruction which for nearly
three years has existed in Colombia must
continue.
Gen. Gutierrez, who arrived from Pan
anna week ago. came, it is said, as the
special emissary of Pres. Marroquin to
negotiate a treaty of peace with Gen. San
tos.
There had been several conferences be-
tween the generals and so well had plans
toward pacification advanced that Gems.
Gutierrez and Santos were to have sailed,
Tuesday. for Panama.
However, Gen. Gutierrez received a dis
patch from Gov. Salazar of the province
of Panama, announcing battle at Aqua
Dulce between the government and rebel
forces. Thereupon he gave notice that
all negotiations were off for the present
at least. He gave as his reason that he
could not continue the convention while
there was q state of actual warfare.

PROMPT ACTION
BY Commander McCrea Of
Machias at Cape Haytian.
Foreign ConsuIs in Danger and Taken
Aboard for Protection.
Will Prevent Bombardment of Town
Without Due Notice.

Washington, July 29.-The following
cablegram dated today was received at
the navy department, this afternoon,
from Commander McCrea of the Ma
chias. which arrived at Cape Haytian,
yesterday:
Affairs are. very much disturbed at
Cape Haytian. Unorganized mob in
, the city. Foreign consuls have been
threatened. VIII give protection on
board. 1 will prevent bombardment
without due notice."
The state department has not hest
tation in fully approving the energetic
and sufficient action of Commander
McCrea in taking care of the foreign
consuls and in preventing a lombard
ment without warning. The American
and foreign interests in Cape Haytien
are large and an American captain is
required by the unwritten laws to look
after the life and property of other for
eign residents as we'll as Americans in
such cases. 1t is said that the rules of
international law as well as the die
tates of humanity require that proper
notice be given before bombardment
in order that women, children and nom
combatants may leave the town and
carry off their personal belongings.
The navy department feels that the

work at hand at this point, though if

suffering. However, there is no naval

The Machias is vessel of Hi tons,

While not many men could be spared

est danger of an attack upon her by
any of the Haytian gunboats, loyal or
rebel.

GEN. DEL GADo ARRESTED.
Charged With Assassination of Col
Acosta's Nephew in Cuba.

New York. July 29-Gen. Perco Del
Gado is under arrest according to a
World dispatch from Havana charged
with having assassinated Antonio Acosta,
a nephew of Col Baldomero Acosta.
The arrest has caused a profound sem
sation. as Gen. Del Gado is one of the
best known of Cubans. He commanded
the Cuban sharpshooters who operated
against Weylers black Spanish gueril-
las in the late revolution. He is now an
officer of the Cuban rural guard and has
been acting as chief of police of Punta
Prava where Maceo was ambushed and
killed.
Gen Del Gado's trial promises to be
sensational as there has been much mys-
terry surrounding the disappearance of
young Acosta from his home six weeks
ago. 1t is said that Col. Acosta, the
young mans uncle, obtained private in
formation that his nephew was seized by
guards under Del Gados direction and
afterwards was sent to the police station
at night, handcuffed between two of Del
Gado'S men.
Then Col Acosta is said to have discov-
cred that no record had been made of
his nephews arrest and that no war
rant had been issued. He at once pre-
ferred the charges against Del Gado that
resulted in an order from Havana for his
