able to get a percentage Of their pay,
there will be nothing left for the re-
manning creditors. President Brown Of

it was not strike, but that the bot

THE ATTACK ON BOCAS.
Americans Sheltered on the Machias
Incident Of Stolen Launches.

Mobile, Ala, April 22.-Dr. J. L. Terry
Of Greensboro, Ala, who arrived here,
today, from Panama, says when news
was received that the Liberals were
marching on Bocas, the American wo-
men and children We're taken aboard
the Machias. but the men preferred to
remain and look after their places of
business Nearly every house in the
city ran up an American flag. A de-
teachment of marines was landed and
"a picket. line thrown around the .Arner-
lean business quarter.
At daybreak the battle began by the
Liberals and ragged for two hours be-
fore the Conservative (goVernmant)
troops began their retreat. Before the
Mount Rernon sailed the battle was
over and but an occasional shot was
heard.
An incident that fastened the attack
on Bocas was the attempt of the Ma
chias to recover the launches which the
Liberals had taken from the United
Fruit 90. The Liberals We're on an
island near Lagoon and they received
the demand Of the Machias with great
courtesy but pleaded that their army
was in a desperate state, located on
the island and unable to escape If the
launches were given back. A request
was made that the launches be left
with the Liberals for that one night.
and during the night they used them to
descend on Bocas. The launches have
not yet been returned.

THE PLOT UNFOLDING.
Sipiaguire's Assassin Is Said to Have
Borne Aristocratic Name.

st. Petersburg. April 2t.-It is now
certain that the earlier reports of the
identity Of the ASA SSH of NJ. Sipid-
guine, the minister of the interior, who
was shot and killed. April Is, were in
correct. Instead OF living nine days in
st. Petersburg just previous to com
hitting the crime. he spent the nine
days i'm n deserted barn at Teroki, just
across the Finnish frontier. The aide
de camps uniform which the man wore
in order to gain access to the ministry
was ordered by his sweetheart at n
military tailor's establishment where
she was cashier. The uniform was de-
livered ut Teriok and the murderer
entered st. Petersburg disguised. The
girl in the case has been arrested.
1t is now even doubted whether the
assassin, who has been known as BAL
chanelf, was really a student. 1t is
limited that he bears an aristocratiC
name.

Sir Chas. Dixie Thinks Peace Will 81
Restored Before That.

London, April 22.-Sir Charles Dixie
one of the most laborious and best-in-
formed members of the House Of Com
mons, asked whether he thinks that
peace will be restored in South Africa
before the coronation, replied as fol
lows:
Il have not the slightest doubt on thf
subject. Peace will be made. if it has
not been done virtually already. l have
not had any doubt respecting the re
suit since the conference with the Boei
leaders began. Their departure to con
fer with the burghers confirms my
opinion"
Sir Charles Dixie added that he did
not believe that the European Boer
agents had been dealt with by the gov
eminent, but they might have beer
consulted by the delegates attending
the conference in Africa.
Sir Charles Dixie, without doubt, re-
fleets the opinion OF members of thG
House which is more optimistic ana
better Informed than opinion outside.

CROP CONDITIONS,
Variable Weather Has Had Bad Effect
and Crops Are Backward.

Washington, April 22.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con
ditions is as follows: The week ending
April 81 was warmer than the average
in the Pacific coast and Rocky noun
tain regions, in the Missouri valley and
the Northern districts to the eastward;
it was too cool in the middle Atlantic
and Southern states, and decidedly dry
over the greater part of the Central
valleys and middle Atlantic states.
Rain is badly needed throughout the
Rocky Mountain districts and Central
valleys, and would prove beneficial in
the middle Atlantic states, while ex-
cess Of moisture has hindered farm
work in portions of the central Gulf
states. The latter part Of the week
was marked by abnormally high tenn
jeratures in Kansas and Nebraska, in
tensifying the drought conditions in
these states. The general weather con-
ditions, although not conductive To
rapid advance of vegetation, We're very
favorable for farming operations in
nearly all parts Of the country.
The progress Of corn planting has
been rather slow, except in Missouri
ana the Southern states, this work be
ing about finished in the central and
the west Gulf districts.
Winter wheat mas continued to make
slow growth ana on the whole is in less
promising condition in the principal
winter wheat states Of the Central val
IIcvs than at the close of the previous
week. Moisture and milder tempera-
lures are generally needed Tor this crop

less from the end OF the boat into the
water. The boat was capsiZed and Mr..

hausted condition by the other mem
