CHICAGO. July 29.-Traders on the Board
OF Trade who are short OF oats made a long
threatened move today against their oppo-
nents, the bulls, and the maneuver proved
an apparent success. Application was made
to the Board Of Trade directors for a mar
ginal" price on new July oats, and after a
hearing the ~oficials fixed as cents as a fair
figure for marginal purposes although the
new July option closed at 60 cents today and
had sold at ~ cents only a few days ago.
The bull crowd referred to the application
as pleading the baby act"

FORCED TO GIVE BACK MONEY
Delicate EmbeaS1ement Case il. Han
died I'm Diplomatic way by
Ambassador Clayton.

WASHINGTON. July 29.-United States
Ambassador Clayton, at Mexico, has sue
seeded in securing restitution in one Of
the largest embezzlement cases before the
Mexican State department.
Some time ago James Brown Potter,
representing large American and English
interests in the Tlahaulilo Mining COM
pany OF Mexico, appealed to the State de-
partment for justice, claiming that by a
fraudulent conspiracy some Of the direc-
tors of the company had embezzled funds
to the amount of $1,000, 900.
This, 1t was charged, was accomplished
by packed elections and the bestowal of
illegal powers upon one OF the directors Of
the company. The fact that some in
ferior Mexican o~ficials were involved in
the conspiracy made 1t almost impossible
to obtain justice by the ordinary methods.
The State department referred the case
to Ambassador Clayton, and he brought It
to the attention of the Mexican govern
ment and pressed It so vigorously that he
is now able to report that the conspira-
tors have been obliged to disgorge all OF
the money and securities they had obtained
by their fraudulent operations.

THREATEN FOREIGN coNsULs
In Danger Of Hayden Mobs, but WIN
Receive Protection on
MRchias.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 2s.-The fol-
lowing cablegram, dated today. was re-
ceived at the Navy department this after
noon from Commander McCrea Of the Ma
chias, which arrived at Cape Haytien yes
terday:
Affairs are very much disturbed at Cape
Haytien. Unorganlzed mob in the city.
Foreign consuls have been threatened. win
give. protection on board. l will prevent
bombardment without due notice.
The State department has no hesitation
In fully approving the energetic and sut-
hcient action Of Commander McCrea in
taking care Of the foreign consuls and in
preventing a bombardment without warning.
The American and foreign interests in Cape
Haytien are large, and an American captain
is required by the unwritten law to look
after the life and property of other foreign
residents as well as Americans in such
cases. 1t is said that the rules OF inter-
national law as well as the dictates OF
humanity require that proper notice be
given before a bombardment, i9 order that
women, children and non-combatants may
leave the town and carry of their personal
belongings.
The Navy department feels that the Ma
chias is sufficiently large TOR the work at
hand at this point, though II there were
more such small American guEboats in the
gulf and Caribbean, a quiet and restrain
Ing influence would be exerted over these
frequent rebelious outbreaks, involving
violations Of the rules OF war and great
suffering. However, there is no naval YES
sci, save those now actually engaged in
such service as Machias, within 1900
miles of the various seats OF trouble in
Central and South America and the West
Indies. Machias is a vessel Of 1,777
tons, carrying eight 4-inch rapid fire guns
and a crew Of eleven officers and 14s men.
While not many men could be spared for
a landing party. the vessel undoubtedly
could live in the anchorage and cover the
town with its guns. 1t is not believed that
there is the slightest danger Of an attack
upon 1t by any of the Haytian gunboats.

NEW YORK, July '2s.-Peace negotia-
lions which have been in progress in this
city for the last week between General
Gutierrez of the Colombian government
and General Gabriel Var~gas-santos, chief
Of the revolution IN Colombia, have come
to an abrupt end, and, according to the
Tribune, the insurrection, which for nearly
three years has existed in Colombia, must
continue. .
General Gutierrez, chief of the govern
ment army at Panama, who arrived from
Panama a week ago, came, 1t IL stated, as
the special emissary Of President Marro-
quin to negotiate a treaty of peace with
General V~argas-Santos. There have been
several conferences between the generals
and so we'll had plans toward pacihcation
advanced that Generals Gutierrez and
Vargas Santos were to have sailed today
for Panama.
However, Genera Gutierrez received a
dispatch from Governor Salazar of the
province Of Panama, announcing a battle
at Aqua Dulce between the government and
the rebel forces. Thereupoh he gave notice
thai all negotiations were of, for the
present, at least. He gave as his reason
that he could not continue the convention
while there was a state Of actual warfare.

UNDER ARREST FOR MURDER
Serious Charge II Preferred Against
n Prominent Omeer In
Cuba.

NEW YORK, July ga World dispatch
from Havana says that General Perico
Delago is under arrest charged with hav-
ing assassinated Antonio. a nephew Of
Colonel Baldomero Aoosta.
The arrest has caused a profound sensa-
ton. as General Delago Is one Of the best
known Cubans. He commanded the Cuban
s-harpshooters who operated against Wey-
ier's black Spanish gusrillas in the late
revolution. He is now an ofioer Of the
Cuban rural guards. .
General Delago's trial promises to be
sensational, as there Is much mystery sur
rounding the disappearance Of young
Acosta from his home six weeks ago. 1t
is said that Colonel Acosta, the young
mans uncle. obtained private information
that his nephew was seized by guards under
General Delago's direction and afterward
was seen taken from the police station at
night, handcuffed and between two Of De-
lagos men.
Young Acosta was aide-de-camp to Gen
eral Delago during the recent war. and
for a long time was his confidential secre-
tary. Not long ago charges were made
against Delago by a number Of cattle
owners in connection with the operation
of cattle thieves.
