QUIET ON ISTHMUS.
commander Mclean Wants No More
Assistance at Present.

Assistahce at Present.
washington. Sept. 26.-The Navy De-
partment gave out to-day the follow
ing statement in regard to a cable
gram received from Commander Nc
Lean:
commander Mclean cables that for
the present situation the United States
forces now on the isthmus will be suffi.
cient. Accordingly no more need be
sent unless some unforeseen contin-
gency should arise. 1t is thought that
the marine battalion being assembled
at Norfolk probably will not have to
be sent to the isthmus."
So far neither the State Department
nor the Navy Department has been
informed officially of the protest of
Gov. Salazar of Panama against the
landing of American marines on the
isthmus.
If Gov. Salazar, in making the Sc
curity of the lives and property of
the foreigners his ground for .1Srotest
against the presence of American ma
rines, did so on the assumption
that the transit was safe against in
terruption, then the officials here are
not inclined to the same view They
say that there would have been an in
terruption of traffic on the isthmus on
Wednesday, when 300 insurgents at
tempted to capture a Colombian officer
aboard one of the trains, had it not
been for the presence of the American
marines.
The Prairie, which is to take the adj
ditional 600 marines to the isthmus if
they are needed, is expected to leave
Boston to-day for League Island, en-
route to Norfolk.
Orders for the Prairie to sail from
Norfolk for Colon with the marines are
to depend upon a further report from
Commander Mclean as to whether
their presence is deemed necessary.

duction on Cotton.
Memphis, Sept. 26.-There was an i'm
portant conference held here to-day
between representatives of the Little
Rock Chamber of Commerce and
freight traffic officials of several Mem
phis railroads.
The cotton interests of Arkansas con-
tend that Little Rock is Disseminated
against by the Southern Railroad from
10 to Is cents per 100 pounds, and for
that reason cotton is shipped to great
er advantage from Shreveport and
Monroe, La, into which points the
Southern Railroad has rails connecting
those centers with Carolina mill points.
After a full discussion the traffic
managers east of the river recommend
ed that the present tariff on Little
Rock shipments of cotton be reduced
two cents per hundred pounds.
The Arkansas delegation were not
satisfied with the small concession and
so declared themselves.

missed recently from the War Depart
ment because of her published criti-
cisms of the administration policy in

vested rights TO the office until re-
moved by the proper authorities act

NO PASSPORTS TO JEWS.
nin's Recognition of Secretary
Hays Purpose.

Washington. Sept. 26.-The report
that the government of Roumania has
discontinued the issuance of passports
to Jews intending to emigrate to Amer
lea, though not officially confirmed, is
regarded by the Washington authori-
ties as an immediate and direct recog-
milton by Roumania of the accuracy Of
the statements made by Secretary Hay
in the note respecting the evils of this
Jewish immigration and the underly-
ing cause. The reported suspension Of
emigration would be regarded as re-
moving the only direct issue between
the United States and Roumania, and
while we may continue to have a deep
concern in the betterment of the con-
dition of the Roumanian Jews, the
United States government must, for
the time, rest content with what it has
done in the issue of the note of the
Powers.
