Bain Released by venezueIans.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-The trip of the
gunboat Marietta to Barcelona resulted in
a satisfactory settlement Of the case OF
United States Vice Consul Baiz at that
place. Several days ago Mr. Baiz COM
planned to Minister Bowen that the Vene-
zuelan government threatened to collect a
forced loan from him. Mr.. Baiz is a
wealthy man, and, although a native of st.
Thomas. the Venezuelan rebels set UP the
claim that he was a citizen OF the country
and attempted to take loan from him un-
der duress. Without consulting the depart
ment Minister Bowen dispatched the Ma
rietta to the scene, subsequently notifying
the department of his action. To-day Com
mander Diehl reported from Laguayra, to
which place the Marietta returned yester-
day, that the case had been settled salts
factorily and that he would send particu-
lars by mail. Later the State Department
was notified that the guards had been re-
moved from Mr.. Baiz's house and office and
assurances had been given by the authori-
ties that he would not be molested again.
The department is well pleased at what ii
regards the firm and wise management OF
this case by Commander Diehl.

Eighteenth Infantry Did Not Burn
Towns mad villages i'm the Island
of Panay, as Alleged.
GEN. RANDOLPH'S REPORT
NEW SCHEME OF COAST ARTILLERY
REORGANIZATION WORKS WELL.
Letter of Recall Presented by Minister
Wu Tingfang-General News Of
the Capital.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s-The War De-
partment made public to-day statement
by General r. P. Hughes in reply to charges
contained I'm a letter written by Henry
Loomis Nelson in Boston newspaper Aug.
p, 1902 and which letter is embraced in a
pamphlet signed by Charles Francis Adams,
Carl Schurz, Edwin Barrett Smith and Her
bert Smith, committee, under the title Of
Marked Seventies; Secretary Roots Rec
ord in the Philippine Warfare
General Hughes quotes the following ex-
tract from the letter: 1.-The Eighteenth reg
ulars marched from Iloilo. in the south. to
Capiz in the north of Panay, under orders
to burn every town from which they were
attacked. The result was they left strip
of land sixty miles wide from one end OF
the island to the other over which the ira
ditional crow could not have flown without
provisions. That is what burning means
and no more. 1t is not done for the fun
of the thing. but out of stern necessity
General Hughes, who commanded in Pan
ay at the time. says the burning of Iloilo
was shown by the official records Of the in
surgent consul to have been the work OF
the insurgents. He says the troops by
some work. some fighting and much ex-
posure to fire. were able to wrench a por'
ton of 1loilo from the flames"
After reviewing the work Of the Eight
eenth Infantry in the province Of Panay
General Hughes says: 1T has thus been
SHOWN that the Eighteenth regulars had
no order to burn all towns from which they
We're attacked, and that they did not leave
strip OF land sixty miles wide from one
END or the island to the other over which
the traditional crow could not have flown
without provisions. but as matter of fact
tney did leave the country uninjured, the
towns and villages intact, the roads I'M
proved. bridges rebuilt, and the 10000 ma
tlves of the section covered were left In
the full enjoyment of their property and
rights"

No Chance for steinhart.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Inquiry here
fails to develop a reasonable basis for the
reported candidacy Of Frank Steinhart to
be United States consul general at Ha-
vana as reported from that city. Mr.. Stein
hart is chief clerk of the Bureau of Insular
Affairs here, but at present he is in Havana
detailed to settle up the affairs of the
late United States military government
there and care for the records which are
in course of transfer to the Cuban govern
ment. He has thus come into contact with
the Cuban officials who have been favor
ably impressed with his personality and
would like to see him appointed consul gen
eral But it happens that General Bragg
who was the consul general at Havana
has already been replaced by Mr.. Rublee
who was transferred from Hong-Kong fol-
that purpose, and while the latter has no,
yet reached Havana. he is on his way there
and there is no vacancy for Mr.. Steinhar
to fill.

Canal Treaty Considered.

WASHINGTON, Nov. SIT is expected
at the Colombian legation that the Colom-
bian Congress will be reccnvened in De-
cember January. Advices which have
been received at the legation indicate as
much. The President of the Colombian gov
ernment announced some time ago that he
would convene Congress as soon as con-
ditions would permit. At that time the rev.
olution was in progress, but Ii is regarded
at the legation that the government has
obtained full control Of the situation, and
this further encourages the belief that Con-
gress may be called together within few
weeks.
Secretary Hay and Minister Concha have
held two or three conferences during the
past week relative to the canal treaty, and
il is said that the prospects for the early
conclusion of an agreement aimed to give
to us proper authority to construct a canal
on Colombian territory are bright. Informa-
ton relative to the details of the treaty
under consideration are withheld at the
State Department and at the legation.

COAST ARTILLERY.
First Annual Report of General Wal
lace +. Randolph.

WASHINGTON, Nov. SIN his first an
nual report Gen. Wallace F. Randolph,
chief of artillery, says that the new scheme
of organization of seacoast into artillery
districts as a rule worked well and 1t is
thought that more progress in artillery efh-
cheney has been made under this system
than would have been possible under the
old regimental plan. The development OF
the present system of fire control has not
been satisfactory. owing to unforeseen con-
ditions, but * is hoped that before the ciose
of this year a new system or position nnu-
ing will be put into practice. General Ran-
dolph complains OF the insufficient allow
ance of ammunition for target practice.
Attention is invited to the necessity OF
increasing the pay and number OF elec-
trician sergeants, in view of the impossi-
bility of caring for the numerous electrical
devices at army posts without skilled men.
AT least 125 sergeants are recommended,
with the pay and allowance of first-class
sci yeantS of the signal corps. AS another
outcome of the maneuverS General Ran
dloph demands five gunnery specialists Tor
each company of coast artillery, who snail
be allowed So extra pay per month. Other
wise trained men in the service cannot be
retained. General Randolph. in conclusion
declares that the combined army and navy
maneuvers were replete with interest and
strongly recommends that similar COM
bined maneuvers take place annually.

NELLIE CORCORAN DEAD.
She Passed Into N State of Coma Oct.
Is and Could Not Be Aroused.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Nellie Corcoran,
who for twenty days lay in mysterious
state of coma in st. Vincents Hospital,
died early to-day. Her case was an ex-
tremeIy puzzIing one to medical practi-
TONERS throughout the city. The girl fell
into her state of Inconsistencies Oct B
at the house where she was employed as
q servant At the hospital where she was
taken heroic efforts to determine the cause
of her condition met with little success.
Hundreds of physicians examined her, and
every known method was tried to awaken
her, but with little success. Two or three
times she was aroused and spoke teW
words, saying she was sleeping, and again
became unconscious. Electricity was ap-
piled and in hard doses, but was lnenec-
tive. NeuroIogists and pathologlstS trleu
hard TO diagnose the girls condition, put
could not. Specialists of nearly every med
zeal field were called in, but they arrived
al no conclusions as to the cause OF the
coma or its proper diagnosis. 1t was even
suggested that some one had hypnotlzeo
her, and efforts to throw of Such speli
were made but to no purpose. Her tenn
perature increased rapidly, she Decame

after having slept continuously twenty
days.

NOT AN ABSOLUTE MONOPOLY.
Stickney's Statement Denied by Chi
cago Live Stock Association.

CHICAGO, Nov. st. w. Tomlinson,
traffic representative of the Chicago Live
Stock Association, appeared before the
Commission to-day
and refuted the charge made by President
Stickney, of the Chicago Great Western,
Yesterday that the Live Stock Association
10 an absolute monopoly. Mr.. Tomlinson
asserted that shippers were not compelled
Il, do business with the Live Stock Associa
ton but that il had been found advan-
tageous to them to do so inasmuch as their
stock could then be sold at a better profit.
In regard to the statement of President
Stickney made yesterday that the reason
live stock from the Missouri river points is
because dressed beef is more regular
traffic Mr.. Tomlinson denied this asser-
tion ''It cannot be-" said Tomlinson,
s.since live stock supplies all the dressed
beef that is shipped. l claim on the other
traffic than dressed beef" Mr.. Tomlinson
testified at some length to show that the
eighteen railroads against whom the Live
stock Association has preferred charges
have for several years been discriminating
against the Chicago market in favor of
south St Paul, South Omaha, st. Joseph
and Kansas City markets.
The cross-examination of Mr.. Tomlin-
son was not finished when the commits
sioners brought the proceedings to an
ahrIpt close with the explanation that an
adiOllrnment was necessary, as the COM
mission has hearing set for next Wednes-
dav in Washington. The railroad attorneys
nortant issues and much time would be
Needed to prepare a defense. After some
discussion the meeting adjourned to meet
in Chicago Jan. 20 TO continue the hearing.

BASIS OF REPRESENTATION.
Postmaster General Payne's Statement
as to His Own Attitude.

WASHINGTON, Nov S.-"There is no
authority for coupling the name of the
President with the statement published to-
day that the administration is in favor of
a change in the basis of and a reduction in
the representation of the Southern States
in Republican conventions and in the
House OF Representatives"
Postmaster General Payne made this
statement to-day as he left the executive
office after a conference with the Presi-
dent My position on the question of the
basis of representation in Republican ma
tional conventions" continued Mr. Payne,
sis we'll understood. For many years /
have believed that the present basis is un-
fair and an improper one. / believe so
now and expect always to believe SO, and
I hone TO see that basis changed by the
next national convention. There is no pow
er to change the basis of representation
except by action of the convention itself"
