A FIGHT FOR MARCUS
RoSEHLLL EXPEDITION WENT
 FULLY ARMED.
Believed That a Japanese warship Reached the Island Before the , Arrival of the Schooner
 Julia E. Whalen.

Honolulu, August 2. via San Francisco, August S.-According to the Honolulu men who are interested in the Marcus Island guano expedition against which Japan has sent war vessel, as reported by the last advices received from the States. the vessel which left here for the island car ried complement of Mauser rifles and company to plant the American flag on the island and keep it floating until com pelled to haul it down.
 Captain Rosehill the discoverer of the island, who left his claim to it on a CO., coanut tree on Marcus Island, In 1889. is in command of the expedition. The com pany's claim is based on this title. which is on record at the State Department in Washington.
 No intimation that the vessel left here with arms on board was given out until the news was received that the Japanese government had laid claim to the island and had dispatched a war vessel there.
 Col. Thomas Fitch then made public the instructions given to Captain Rose hill. which, while designed to prevent any conflict were intended to compel the Japanese to allow the American to land. or use IOrCe 10 uTlVe them away.
 Captain Rosehill's instructions from the company are to inform the Japanese on Marcus Island that his expedition is Q peaceful one for the purpose of making q scientific investigation of the value of the guano deposit of the island and at tempt to make a peaceful landing.
 In the event that the Japanese still refuse to allow him to land. Rosehill Is to sail away out of sight of the island and return under cover of darkness, land an armed force and raise the American flag and keep it up until it is torn down by a superior force.
 At the same time the captain was told to avoid conflict In every way possi- ble.
 In the event of his encountering a Jap ant se war vessel, the commander of the expedition was to present his credentials as the discoVerer of the islanl and the agent of the Marcus Island Guano Com psny and to state that the object of his expedition was to make a scientific eN- animation of the island for the company If the island was found to be of value. the matter of ownership was to be re- ferred to the United States and Japanesa governments. If the officers of the war vessel still refused to allow a landing, Captain Rosehill was instructed to start ashore with an unarmed force In a boat flying the American flag and attempt a landing and carry out the purpose of the expedition unless physically restrained
 It is thought the schooner commanded by Captain ROsehill. the Julia F.. Whalen, has arrived there by this time, and that ha Iapanaaa War vessel was thera fret

WHEELER AND ROBERTS
TWO WARRIORS SIT AT MEAL
 IN LONDON.
First Banquet of New Anglo-Amer- ican- Pilgrims Club-English Commander-in-Ch Desires
 to Visit America.

London, Aug. s.-Earl Roberts, comman. der-in-chief of the forces, and Gen. Jo. seph Wheeler of the United States, sat together tonight at the first banquet of the new Anglo-American Pilgrims Club which was given at the Carlton Hotel
 Lord Kinnaird presided at the banquet and the guests included Joseph H. Choate United States Ambassador; Lord Kelvin Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford Clay Evans, Consul-General of the United States: former Attorney General John w. Griggs, General J. H. Wilson, U. S. A. and Josiah Quincy.
 After toasts had been drunk to King Edward and President Roosevelt, GeneI al Wheeler. in a eulogistic speech, proposed Earl Roberts as honorary president of the club.
 Earl Roberts, replying to the American General, said he hoped some day his re- responsibilities, which appeared to increase with the advance of years, would permit country, of all others. he most desired to sec.
 We welcome you," said Earl Roberts, "as brothers of the same stock who share all the proud traditions of the Anglo Saxon race"
 Rear Admiral Lord Beresford, MT Griggs and other also spoke.
 Sir Edward Clark referred to his son. who proposed to visit the United States and said humorously he supposed he would have to declare whether he was a polygamist or had ever been in jail be- fore he could enter the country.

ELEVEN BODIES FOUND.
At Least Thirteen Men Were in the
 Bowen Mine.

Bowen Mine.
 Trinidad. Colo, Aug S.-The rescue par ty at the Bowen mine, where the explo- sion occurred last evening was compelled to suspend work early today owing to fire-damp. At that time the bodies of eleven dead had been recovered. There were at least thirteen men in the>mine at the time of the explosion. and all un- doubtedly were killed.
 The known dead are:
 Michael Cassidy. James Hunter. Frank Greats. Jose Sanchez. w. E. Elliot, Phil lip Fena, Mexican; L. P. Jensen, H. Creech. J. Keanoly, Oscar Berg, Joe Gordon. colored; Arthur Myers Tillie Winfield, colored.
 No gas has ever been discovered in the mine, and 1t Is the opinion of the officers that the accident was caused by a pre- mature shot. The powder house at the mouth of the mine contained about 00O pounds of blasting powder. and exploded by the shock from the mine. and great damage was done to the mouth of the slope.
 The town of Bowen. situated about a quarter of a mile below the mine, was shaken. and number of windows broken. Immediately after the explosion almost the entire population of the town rushed to the mouth of the mine and the scenes there were heart-rending. The mine is almost total wreck as far as can be de- termined.
 The explosion occurred about 1000 feet from tn, surface. The mine was quickly filled with gas and smoke and those who escaped instant death undoubtedly were suffocated.
 Mike Cassidy was blown to atoms. His head was picked up nearly 100 feet from where the body was found. and his legs are still missing. The body of James Hunter was terribly mangled

TROOPS SENT TO RESCUE
Stones are Thrown at the
 Cavalrymen.
capouse Washery Destroyed by Fire Which the Operators Intimate, was of Incendiary Origin.
 Ltthanians Sent to Jail,

shenandoah. Aug. s.-A platoon of the Governors troop of cavalry went to Turkey Run Hill today on an errand of mercy and rescued a small family from the violence of the neIghbors.
 There had been petty acts of violence reported from that territory nearly every day for week. Today General Gobin received pathetic letter from the wife of non-union workman, who is employed in the Gilberton colliery of the PhiladeI- phia and Reading Coal and Iron Com pany. in which she told of the treatment accorded by strikers in that vicinity. Among other things. she said rocks had been thrown through the windows at night, one of them nearly striking her sleeping child; the house was damaged and while she was outdoors one night shot was fired at her. She also said crowds gathered around the house, hooted apd teered at her and the child and hung crape on the door.
 Her husband, she said, was compelled to. stay in the mines in order to earn money to keep them from starving, and as he could not leave his work she asked the commanding officer of the troops here to protect ner.
 Cavalry Called Out.
 Turkey Run Hill has no police protec- ton and General Goblin decided to help the woman. He learned that she was not in the best of health, and it was decided that she had better be taken from place to the Pottsville hospital. To cal this out, the General ordered plato Of cavalry to make demonstration that section, and while there to CSC, yt the woman and child to the railroad s ton. This was done. The troops rode j over the territory and found that Ii. population, which is made up of many foreigners. was not in the best frame of TaiFd-s.5,s
 The soldiers were booted and jeered and called uncomplimentary names. Only stones was thrown at the horsemen and this was cone only in q crowd on a high ridge out of reach of the soldiers. The cavalryn1en stopped their horses and the crowd scattered instartly.
 The two Lithuanians who were yester- day held responsible for the death of Jo- seph Beddal in the riots of last week, were today committed without bail to the county jail at Pottsville. Another Lith- aniar charged with rioting was released on $2,OO0 bail. It is understood that a large number of other arrests will be made.

TO PROTECT THE CABLE
ORDERS ARE SENT TO CoMMAN-
 DER M'CREA.
United States and Haytien Tele- graph and Cable Company Ap- pealed to This Government to
 Prevent Cutting of Line.

Washington, Aug. s.-The United States and Haytien Telegraph and Cable Con- pany has applied to the State and Navy Departments here to prevent the cutting of its cable at Cape Haytien.
 According to information recelved by the Cable Company in New York, the Haytien gunboat Crete-A- Perriot, which is under the command of Admiral Killick. who has allied himself with the revolu- tionary government under General Fir min and who has been appointed Secre- tary of War and Navy under che revolu- company's cable between Cape Haytien and New York.
 The company appealed to the authori- ties here to instruct Commander MoCrea of the gunboat Machias to protect the cable from violence. Acting Secretary of State Adee and Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling held a conferen,e ,e over the matter ana decided that 1t was proper for this government in the protection of in ternational interest involved tc issue the instructions, and accordingly, a cable gram was sent to Commander McCrea directing him to prevent the cutting of the cable.
 The action of this government is in line with the support thus far given to the provision government set up oy President Vasquez of Hayti and at the same time it may prove a decisive check to the am- bition of General Firmin revolutionary party of which Admiral Kil,ick is the naval head.
 Some time ago Minister Howell advised the State Department that he and other members of the diplomatic corps had re- cognized Vasquez and his cabinet as con- stituting the de facto government of Hayti. Later this provisional govern ment sought to outlaw the revolutionary forces and proclaimed Admiral Killick a pirate. requesting our naval vessels to ap- prehend him as such. --",'.
 This request was not complied with. But while declining to go to the extent of treating Killick as a pira;e, the au- thorities here had no hesitation in pre- venting him and his craft from commit ting lawless depredations, oarti sularly in view of the indirect inference with Ameri- can interests. The United States always has maintained the right tc cut cables as an incident to warfare. But this right Is conceded to governments in their sovereign capacity and 1t could not be claimed by a revolutionary force having no international status as belligerents

BRYAN NOT A CANDIDATE Setsas Rest the Current / Rumors. C. tTENT TO BE EDITOR Has Laid No Plans for Future
 Political Preferment. Says Alleged Interviews With Him at Mason City is Unreliable. Talks of the Situation
C. tTENT TO BE EDITOR

Muscatine, Ia., August 8.-William J. Bryan settled for all time the rumors that he will be a candidate for President in 1904 in an interview today, while on the way to Danville, Ill. Colonel Bryan, when shown yesterdays reports that he might again be a candidate, was much netttled and expressed himself in no uncertain setttled right now, so there could be no further question. The Mason City inter- vie he said, was unreliable.
 T will not be a candidate for President in 1904" said MT. Bryan. While I would not promise never to be a candidate again under any circumstances. I have no plans looking to the future nomination for any office. I am perfectly content to do my work as a private citizen and enjoy my editorial work. I shall continue to advo- cate with tongue and pen reforms which I believe to be necessary"
 Improvement in Iowa.
 Talking of the Republican platform of Iowa. MT. Bryan said:
 T am glad to notice an improvement in Iowa politics. By the action of the recent State Republican Convention I am glad to note that they realize and recog- nize that behind the tariff turks the great monopolies and trusts of this country. Nine years ago I introduced a bill into Congress exactly along this same line taking the tariff off trust-made goods and although the endorsement comes little late, am glad to note that even after nine years the Republicans of Iowa have come to my way of thinking. But the action of the Republican Party in Iowa will be of little effect in national politics for the simple reason that those who con- trol the legislation are those who favor and operate the gigantic trusts and mo- nopolies of the country. People who fur- nish campaign funds for the Republican Party are the ones who name your At torney General and those having author ity. They do not want your money out here; they want your votes. So I say that the plank in the Republican platform is merely educational, that's all."

FAILED TO FIND TREASURE.
The Brigantine Blakeley Returns
 from Its Starch.

Victoria. B. C., Aug. S.-The elaborate ly outfitted expedition which set sail from here early in January on the brigantine Blakely to search for the mythical treas ure of Cccos Island, has returned, like other expenditions which have visited the island, without having seen a sign of treasure of any kind. The expedition was an utter failure. ine instruments which were to locate the supposed buried treasure failed.
 The expedition arrived on the island April r. After a days 'ec onnoitering the instrument was brought cut and the men started working at a point to which it pointed. After sinking a shaft twenty feet another trial was made with the so- called golG finder and 1t pointed in another direction; in fact. every time 1t was brought out it pointed in different direction.
 Provisions getting low. it was deter mined to make a start for home. and the vessel was turned northward. This was on May Il, only five days having been spent on the island.
