.GEN. BRACES NIT
 CAUSES 4 CHANCE
Consul General at Havana
 Transferred to Hongkong.
SLURAT HE NEW REPUBLIC
Bragg Says U. 8. Had as Well Try to Make a Whistle Out Of a Pig's Tall as to Make Anything
 of the Latin Race.

Washington. October s.-Gen. F. s. Bragg. consul general at Havana. has been transferred to the post of United States consul general at Hong Kong, taking the place of William A. Roublee. transferred to the Havana consulate.
 The change has been in contemplation for almost three months. It was fully decided that 1t was necessary to make the change and the only question was where General Bragg could be placed without a substantial loss to himself, for 1t Is difficult to find in the consular ser vice a position paying as well as his. The official salary of the place is s5oo0 per annum, but there are fees attached, much of which go to the consul general which swell the total compensation to about 5000 per year. Although it Is re- alized that General Bragg has been guilty of a lack of judgment at least in allow ing to escape from him a rather con- temptuous criticism of the Cuban people, In view of the fact that he was not di- rectly responsible for its publication the l President decided to look on his case with a lenient eye
 1 unique OofnpdTlSoHs
 l Early in July General Bragg wrote a letter to his wife at her home in this country in which he used this language: Uncle Sam might as well try to make a whistle out of pigs tail as to try to make something out of the Latin race"
 The letter was published on July 14 A ] few days later the Cuban government
 asked Mir Squiers, our minister to Ha- vana, if the quotation was authentic, in- | timating that if it were so General Bragg 1 probably had destroyed his usefulness at l Havana By direction of the state depart ment MT. Squers called on General Bragg I for an explanation. He at once admitted the accuracy of the quotation, but held that he had a right to write what he pleased in purely personal letter to his own family, but without discussing this question with the general the state de- partment decided that a change must be made, and set about 10 find another place for General Bragg. About two weeks ago this was found through the willingness of United States Consul Gen eral William Rublee at Hong Kong, China to exchange his post for that at Havana.
 Cause of Delay.
 The delay in making the announcement of the change has been caused by the necessity of arranging the details of the transfer It is understood the change | will take place as soon as MT Rublee has reached Havana. MT. Rublees post at Hong Kong is salaried at $5000 per an- mum, and his notorial fees, to all of which he is entitled amounted last year to $1047. so that General Bragg probably will not ] lose very much by the change
 | The new appointee at Havana, like Gen. eral Bragg, Is a Wisconsin man. He is q | son of the proprietor of the Milwaukee Sentinel. He was originally appointed as United States consul at Prague, Austria, in 1890, and retired from that post in 1893. He re-entered the consular service in 1901, going directly to Hong Kong.

CARNEGIE MADE 4
 LION IN SCOTLAND
GIVEN THE FREEDOM OF PERTH ON ACCOUNT OF HIS NUMBER oUs GIFTS TO HIS NATIVE COUNTRY.

Edingburg. October s.--Andrey Carnegie was presented with the freedom of Perth today in recognition of his benefactions to Scotland. With today's ceremonies at Perth. MT. Carnegie began round of functions embracing the bestowai on him of the freedom of five cities and the opening Of several libraries. The tour will close with the delivery of his annual address as Lord Rector of St. Andrew s university, October 25, on which oeca- sion Ambassador choate and Ambassa- dor White will receive honorary degrees.
 Replying to the provost's present ation speech at Perth. Mir. Carnegie dilated on the horrors of so-ealled civilized war . and the war benefits to be derived from arbitration. "A great good has recently come to the world" said MT. Carnegie "A king in disguise and not yet recog- nized. But through the efforts Of the Czar, ably seconded by one whose mem ory l revere, your late ambassador Lord Pauncefote. there now exists for the first time among men a permanent tribunal of arbitration which is now sitting to de- termine a dispute between the republic of the United States and Mexico. Not a drop of blood will be shed through this dispute. 1t is to bring a victory which will cause no tears In my opinion the grandest achievement of the twen- tieth century was the creation of this tribunal. Shame to the nation which refuses to submit it's differences to the arbitrament of this high court of hu- manity."
 Dealing with the colonies. MT. Car negie declared that there was no legal bond between them and the mother coun- try that could hold the connection for the year, adding;
 Besides you would seorn the use of force if these communities wished to set up for themselves. The motherland is not reduced to that. On the contrary, union with her is a boone so precious that the new settlements of our race should humbiy sue for admission The will of the people is the only enduring bond of union between the separate part of .Ae empire"

CHURCHES WILL CLOSE.
Unless the Coal Situation Improves
 the Suffering Will Be Great.


 New York. October s.--It is stated that less than four days supply of coal re- mains for the running of the pumping stations of the Brooklyn water works, and unless more coal comes before Thurs day or Friday the pumping station may have to close. The gas companies in Brooklyn are all short of coal. Many Brooklyn churches probably will close if the coal famine continues.
 A gang of coal pirates is at work in the harbor, and in future many captains of tugs and barges will go armed to fight the robbers. One barge captain reports that he was robbed of ten tons of soft coal, while on the way from South Am boy, N. J. The captain says he was awakened by men who had boarded the barge. They were armed with pistols and he was powerless. They loaded four slxiffs and disappeared with their pre- eious cargo.
 A soft coal famine, on the heels of the present anthracite coal famine, accord ing to the coal dealers. is now impend- ing, and is likely to strike this city in a few days. While the sidings along the railroads are choked up with thousands of cars loaded with soft coal very little of it reaches the city, and the price of soft coal Is increasing day by day. The soft coal operators have appealed to President Cassatt of the Pennsylvania railroad, to try to bring the coal to this city.
 Scarcity of motive power is given as the cause of the delay in shipment.
 Prospects are that in case the coal strike continues until winter sets in the gas companies will have great difficulty in turning out the normal supply.
 In Manhattan borough the gas com pany Is manufacturing 60,0OO,O0O feet of gas day, and Is ale to so adjust its plants that either hard or soft coal can be used to advantage.
 The Brooklyn Gas Company is not so situated. however, and is buying all the anthracite available.

though in many locauties the change
has been for the better; oats, especi-
