WASHINGTON NOTES

Information has reached the state department that Cuban dealers in machinery have a decided advantage by buying in Europe instead of in the United States for the reason that they
 ct lower prices of 10 to 30 per cent, according to the class of machinery; lower shipping rates; quicker delivery and more advantageous terms of pay ment, European manufacturers being willing to sell on time where Ameri- cans demand cash. It is also stated that even should the duty be reduced preferential to the United States, the lower prices and freight rates, quicker delivery and easier terms of payment fully compensate the higher customs charged Cuban dealers on European material.
 The president has settled the long pending case of John Clyde Sullivan of the navy, by disappearing the ad- verse findings of the board which ex- mined him for promotion. The officer WIS recently restored to the navy by an act of congress, sand when examined for promotion was reported to be mentally, morally, physically and professionally unfit for such advance ment. The presidents action leaves his present status in the navy unchang- ed.
 The following appointments under the department of justice have been agreed to in the cabinet Judge H. Lewis of Richmond, Va., United States district attorney for the Chicago district; Morgan H. Beach, United States district attorney for the district of Columbia.
 M. Cambon, the French ambassa- dor, has presented his letters of recall to the president and will sail for his new post in Spain.

DESTRUCTIVE EXPLOSION
HUGE BOILERS WERE SENT FLYING
 THROUGH THE AIR
Thirteen Dead and Scores Injured-Fire Adds Horror to Scene and Many Are Burned-No One Employed in Boiler Room Living.

With a deafenlng report boiler in Swift X Co., plant at Chicago ex- ploded Saturday morning. Thirteen lives were sacrificed and scores of em- ployes, visitors and others were in- jured. Huge boilers were sent through the roof ot the boiler house and hurled hundreds of feet. Nobody within the boiler room survived to tell the story of the accident, and it may never be known what caused the explosion. A careful investigation, however, con vinced the experts that the explosion was the result ot carelessness on the part of an employe, whose life also was lost. Five minutes after the ex- plosion nothing of the boiler house but pile of twisted iron, bricks and metal remained.
 Sheets of flame sprang from the ruins and the spectators realized that it would be impossible to save the lives of those who were caught in the wreck. The explosion was of such force that the adjoining buildings were wrecked, torn and twisted like toys. Men, Women and boys at woik in ad joining departments were hurled through windows to the ground below. Many ot them escaped with slight bruises, but most of the victims were hurt to such an extent that it was necessary to remove them to hospitals. The others were taken to their homes.

present Alaska game law was not in- tended to read as it does by men who secured its passage. It's object was to prevent Indians from slaughtering bears and other animals at seasons of the year when their hides are prac- tically worthless. The Indians were formerly killing yearly hundreds of bears whose skins spoiled.
 Simmons says that Alaska dealers have in hand several hundred bear skins which were killed before the pas- sage of the game law last spring. They cannot ship them, sand dealers of Tacoma and San Francisco dare not buy them. In consequence, Alaska owners must hold these skins until the law is amended. The present situa- tion seriously affects fur markets of both Washington and California.

LOOKING FOR BOER GOLD
The British Government Seeks to Gain
 Possession of $650,000

Berlin-The British government is telegraphing to all the German ports making inquiries concerning Boer gold bars worth $650, ,000, which it is sup posed have been brought to this coun- try from South Africa within the past fortnight. The bars are destined to former President Kruger and Dr. Leyds, and it is presumed have been concealed in the Transvaal. Great Britain will endeavor to legally attach the gold if it can be located, on the ground that she is entitled to all the assets of the Transvaal because she has assumed responsibility for the debts of that country, including the bonds issued prior to the war.
 General Bothas reply to Colonel Secretary Chamberlain that the late Boer government had no assets was strictly true as far as he knew, but since receiving Mir. Chamberlain let ter General Botha learned, according to seemingly trustworthy information here, that MT. Kruger and Dr. Leyds have in their possession $2,500, ,000. General Botha requested them to turn over this gold for the benefit of the Boer people, but .Dr. Leyds refused, averring that the money was to be used in upbulding the Roer nation ality in the future. General Botha has notified Dr. Leyds that unless the gold is given upiegal proceedings will be brought against them.

Big Cattle Ranch Project

The purchase of millions of acres of Mexican territory along the border of the United States for the purpose of creating one of the largest cattle-rais- ing ranches in the world is the result of recent negotiations of American capitalists with Utah men as prin- cipa's. The purchased land comprises nearly four thousand square miles of terriotry, and extends along the border for 159 miles from a point sixteen miles west of Fl Paso, Tex. The pur- chase involves an initial expenditure of fully $1, ,00O,0O0

 British Columbia is steadily advanc- ing in it's production of peaches, prnnes and plums, and increasingly large areas are set out annually. For the protection of other ranchers, the gov ernment has adopted stringent meas- uressfor the thorough inspection of all young trees being brought into the province. A large fumigating station and crematory has been erected at Van couver, and here all trees are brought for examination by Inspector Cunning ham personally.
 Traces of the peach borer, which ravages peach, plum and prune trees, were found on every tree destroyed, and the heavy loss of the condemna- ton and destruction of the stock falls upon the American grower.

There is scarcity of commodities in Dawson and sharp advances in prices, according to advices received at Vancouver, B. o., from representatives of local wholesale houses in the north. The condition of affairs is partly due to the improved outlook in business generally after the recent dullness, and to much larger number of people wintering in the north than was ex- pected.

0R|NOCO RIVER BLOCKADE
A VERY KNOTTY PROBLEM FOR
 OUR GOVERNMENT
The British Authorities Are Now Waiting to See What Instructions Will Be Sent to Our Naval Officers From Washington

Port of Spain, Island of Trinadad- The United States is confronted with the question of declaring it's attitude regarding the blockade of the Orinoco river, which has been declared by the Venezuelan government. The British authorities say they have asked United States Consul Smith what the inten- tions of the Washington government are regarding the steamer Manzaneres, belonging to the Orinoco Steamship company, which is now here. Some days ago the British authorities an nounced their willingness to convoy the Manzaneres up the Orinoco, but withdrew their offer on the arrival of the United States gunboat Nashville on the ground that the United States, now having a warship in port, should convoy its own merchantmen. Consul Smith is confelring with Admiral Croninshield and Admiral Sumner, it is believed, with regard to the Manzan- eres. The Nashville is suited to the purpose of conveying the Manzaneres, but no action is possible until instruc- tions have been received from Wash ington.
 The United States is the only nation which has not taken decisive stand regarding the blockade and it is claim ed that this situation is embarrassing American commerce, especially the Manzaneres, which has been here since last June, her cargo spelling and the delay involving great loss to the company.
 Since the proclamation of the blocks ade, 1850 ships of all nations except the United States and principally Venezuelan vessels, have entered and left Orinoco, and it is insisted that this fact constitutes the best evidence possible that the blockade is ineffec- tive. The Venezuelan gunboats have left the Orinoco ungarded for periods of two weeks at time and the guns of the fort Los Hos, which were the only means of maintaining the blockade of Ciudad Bolivar after the withdrawal of the gunboats, have been removed.
