OFFICIALS STILL HOPEFUL.
Expect to Have Cuban Treaty Ready
for Congress.


for Congress.
Washington, Oct. 29.-The fact re
corded in the news dispatches from
Havana that President Palma has re
turned to Washington the draft of the
reciprocity treaty without his approval
has not shaken the belief of the of
ficials here that they will have a treaty
ready to submit to congress by the
date of its next meeting. AS soon as
Mr.. Quesada, the Cuban minister here
receives the document he will submit
it to Secretary Hay. The latter al
ready has knowledge of the general
nature of the objection found by the
Cuban government. Then negotiations
will be continued on the basis of the
original draft. For it is explicitly
stated that the proposition submitted
by the state department was in no
sense an ultimatum and the matter is
still open to adjustment. Generally
stated the Cuban objections are based
on belief that the United States has
demanded undue concessions in the
remissions of duties on United States
products entering Cuba, ranging all
the way from 10 per cent to 80 per
cent, in return for a 20 per cent cut
on Cuban sugar and tobacco coming
into the United States. AS the diff
ference is one strictly of figures and
not of principle it is the opinion at the
state department that it can be set
tied amicably

A SERIOUS HITCH
COLOMBIA NOT LIKELY TO NE
GOTIATE CANAL TREATY At
PRESENT TIME.
OBJECTS TO CASEY'S ACTION

American Admiral Has Several Times
Exercised Police Power Over the
Panama Railroad, Much to the Dis
pleasure of the Colombian Officials
and His Challenge Of Their Gun
boats Papers Is the Last Straw.
Washington. Oct. 29.-The last
Colombian note respecting the canal
treaty, which arrived in Washington
several days ago, has not yet been de
livered to the state department and
there is some reason to fear that q
serious hitch is impending.
This note was framed at Bogota
Sept. IA last. day prior to the ar.
rival of Admiral Casey in Isthmian
waters, and his checking of the pas
sage of troops across the isthmus by
rail. Since that date the admiral has
had several occasions to exercise pc
lice power over the Panama railroad
and in the harbors at either end
There Is reason to believe that these
assertions of power, though in the
view of the state department exer
cised strictly within the limit of the
treaty between the United States and
Colombia by which the former guar
antees freedom of traffic across the
isthmus. is viewed by Colombia with
growing apprehension and suspicion
Such an event as that recorded Mon
day, for instance, in which Admiral
Casey challenged the papers of the
Colombian warship Bogota, boat &C
quired in the United States for use by
the Colombian government, is regarded
by the Colembans as direct asser
ton of United States sovereignty
which they cannot allow to 60 with
out protest Therefore there is reason
to believe that this last Colombian
note, which might in itself have at
forded the necessary means for com.
plete agreement between the two
countries. is being delayed in presenta.
ton in order that the Colombian gov
eminent at Bogota may have an op
portunity to qualify it or withhold
entirely in view of the recent events
which have been so distasteful to
them.

SHAKES FOUR COUNTRIES.
Volcano of Santa Maria, in Guatemala
Becomes Active,

Manacua, Nicaragua, Oct. 2S.-The
volcano Of Santa Maria, in the depart
ment of Quezaltenango, in the north
western part of Guatemala, has been
in eruption since Saturday morning.
The eruption is attended with a ter
rife roar, and the shocks are felt all
over Nicaragua, Salvador and Costa
RIGA. There is great alarm.
Santa Maria has not been consid-
cred an active volucano. There are
several towns and villages near it. 1t
is only about ten miles from the re-
Gently ruined town of QueZaltenango,
and fifteen miles from Mezatenango,
which has about 5000 residents.
The heighth of the volcano is 12.457
feet or about three times as high as
Mont Pelee, in Martinique.

SEE FOR HIMSELF
COLONIAL SECRETARY CHAMBER.
LAIN TO. PAY A VISIT TO
SOUTH AFRICA.
CONDITIONS CONSIDERED BAD

Feeling Between the British and Dutch
People Said to Be More Bitter Than
1t Was in the Days Before the War.
LoyaIists in Cape Colony Reported
Greatly Alarmed at the Existing
State of Affairs.
New York, Oct. 2S.-Gloomy &C.
counts o. me state OF affairs IN Cape
Colony, the Orange River Colony and
the Transvaal have been received here
from time to time through private
channels, but there has been tenden-
cy to discredit them, cables the Lon
don correspondent of the Tribune. The
announcement of Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain's decision to proceed to
South Africa in order to examine on
the spot the problems presented by
the termination of the war and the
settlement of affairs in the new Brit
ish colonies consequently caused the
utmost surprise in political circles. 1t
is tolerably certain, declares the cor
respondent, that if the situation had
not been one of peril the colonial Sec
rotary would have left the whole mat
ter absolutely in the hands of Lord
Miner. The feeling between the
British and Dutch people in Cape Col
ony just now is said to be more bitter
than it was in the days before the war.
The Transvaal and Free State colors
are worn freely in the Dutch towns of
the Cape. The loyalists are naturally
alarmed at this state of things.
Ever since Mr.. Chamberlain anne
colonial secretary he has disre.1
precedent. One notable instance,
which has slight resemblance to
master stroke of policy now initiated
by him, was his visit last autumn to
Malta to inquire into the petition of
the Maltese against compulsory adop-
ton of the English language.
When he returned to London he con-
suited with his colleagues and soon
afterward came an intimation that the
Objectionable edict had been with
drawn. 1t is possible that it is this ex-
perience which has prompted him to
study for himself the present POSITION
of affairs, not only at the Cape but in
England's two new colonies, so as to
be able to initiate and carry out an i'm
perial policy which will be best suited
to the requirements of the whole of
British South Africa

FIGHTING THE PLAGUE.
Entire Population Of the Punjab Will
Be Inocuiated.

Calcutta, Oct. 2S.-The government
of the Punjab recently took what it
considered was an extreme step to pre-
vent the spread of bubonie plague in
that province. 1t issued an order di-
recting that the entire population
should submit to incubation against
the disease at the hands of the sani-
tary officers. but at the same time it
was feared that the natives, with their
usual antipathy to anything partaking
of the nature of sanitary precautions,
would bitterly oppose compliance with
the order. Much to the surprise of the
authorities, however no opposition is
being offered and the work of inocula-
ton, which is a tremendous task, is
progressing satisfactorily.

SOUTH MILL SHUT DOWN.
Last Rail Was Sent Through the
Rolls Yesterday-14OO Men Out
of Employment.

At the South mill yesterday morning
the last rail was rolled and later in
the day the work of dismantling the
rnill began. The great majority of the
Loo men employed there will be
thrown out of employment. Superin-
tendent George Barnard was present
and personally supervised the work of
running the last heats of steel through
the mill.
rhe first heat of steel when the mill
was opened in 1883 was blown by Mich
ael Swallow, and he was yesterday
given the honor of blowing the last
heat. Thomas Kearney. who straight
ened the first rail at the mill, is still
employed there as a rail Inspector ana
at the suggestion of Foreman M. j..
Ccnnerton, he took his place at the rail
straightener and Strengthened the last
rail.
One of the straighteners at the mill
for q long time has been eX-Patrolman
James II. Coleman, who as youth
learned the business under the watch
full eye of Mr.. Kearney. The skill of
the Scranton rail strighteners is con-
ceded in rail mills all over the coun-
try, and the product of the Scranton
mills is looked upon as comprising the
best, Strengthened rails that go on the
market.
Mr.. Coleman and Matthew Sayers
We're pupils of whom Mr. kearney was
particularly proud. They We're con-
cededly two of the most scientific in
the country. Mr.. Coleman was the
creator of an idea by which the rail is
strightened from one end, saving time
and labor, and which has come into
general use.
The average monthly pay roll of the
South mill was in the neighborhood of
$4,000. A great many of the men
thrown out of employment will be
given work at Buffalo. but it will be
long time before they will be ready for
them there, and in the meantime
serious question confronts them.
