ITALIAN AMBASSADOR ANNOYED
Publication Of the Chicago Findings
Give Him a Pain.

Washington, June 20.-Signor May
dor was one of the callers at the state
department today. He expressed to
DR.. Hill. who was acting secretary of
state in the absence of Mr.. Hay, the
very considerable amount of annoy
ance caused him by the publication of
the findings of the court Of inquiry
which investigated the cases of the
officers of the Chicago imprisoned at
Venice. The doctor listened sympa-
thetically to the ambassadors CON-
plants, for the administration here
has done all possible to minimize the
Venice accident and sought to pre-
vent the publication of further de-
tails in the interest of good feeling.
At the suggestion of DR.. Hill, the
ambassador saw Secretary Moody, a
rather unusual proceeding, for it is
the rule for diplomatic agents to on
fine their negotiations to the state de-
partment. At the conclusion of the
meeting, Secretary Moody repaired to
the state department and had a talk
with DR.. Hill. None of the p%artici-
pants in the conferences care to state
the nature of the proceedings. It is
believed. however. that Secretary
Moody is about to institute a strict
inquiry to ascertain how the report
of the Chicago court of inquiry gained
publicity, and the subject will be dis
cussed at the cabinet meeting tomor-
row.

Rain Falling in Torrents and Country
Flooded in Martinique.
Fort de France, Martinique, June 20.
The river which flows by Basse
Pointe has risen suddenly four times
since Wednesday and as a result 80
houses have been carried out to sea.
The first flood was s~ignalized by
the appearance in the valley of the
river of a torrent of muddy water 40
meters wide and five high, which ad-
vanced with frightful rapidity. Dur
ing all of yesterday afternoon clouds
of smoke issued from the crater at
the head of the river Falaise and the
river itself has been rushing down
ward with such violence that it's
banks have been carried away. The
river now has taken a new course.
One Of the chasms results from the
volcanic eruption which rendered &C.
cess to the head of the river impossi-
BILE is now filled up with volcanic mat
ter and it is possible to cross the
chasm on the newly thrown out mater
ial.
Torrential rains are falling in the
northern part of the island. Mount
Pelee continues to vomit a thick col
m of cinders, which the wind blows
to the north. Last Wednesday several
French newsnaner rnnOrtorS who
were exploring LIE Precheir were sur
prised while there by an eruption Of
Mount Pelee. The atmosphere was
charged with electricity to a remark
able degree. Thick clouds of vapor
are rising from the crevasses along
the entire northern coast. 1t is said
that the water of all rivers on the is
land is boiling hot.

Cuba Is Disappointed.

New York, June 20.-There is a
feeling CT great disappointment here,
says a Havana dispatch, over the pos
sibility that the senate will not pass
a Cuban reciprocity bill. Cubans have
about given up all hope of relief from
this source and the people assume a
gloomy view of the future economic
conditions of the island. Their con-
fidence in President Roosevelt gives
a last hope that he will save them
from absolute ruin by negotiating a
direct reciprocal treaty with Presi-
dent Palma.

Chicago, June 20.-The practicable

from moving trains is to be tested in
the near future by representatives of
the association of telegraph superin-

convention here. Benson Bidwell of
Grand Rapids, Mich, in a paper which
he read. suggested that communica-
lions could be had with moving trains
if a trolley wire or third rail were
placed alongside the tracks. The pa
per of Mr.. Bidwell stirred up much
discussion and President Jacoby was
authorized to appoint a committee to
test along the line suggested.

CONVICTS WE'RE LAST SEEN AT
MARTIN RANCH.
Posse and Bloodhounds Resting Un-

Whereabouts.

Vancouver, Wash, June 20.-It is
the same old story. The outlaws,
Tracy and Merrill, have disappeared.
"After diligent though fruitless
search for the past "a hours, we have
again given up the search, at least I'M
til we get another clew." This was
the report CT Sheriff Marsh this ev-
ening in answer to inquiries regarding
the result of the last sortie after the
escapede convicts.A The sheriff and
the entire posse, which Joined in the
search yesterday, except three or four
trusty men, left to keep a close watch
in the neighborhoOd for a fresh clew,
returned here tonight. The posse, in
Guiding Guard Carson and the blood
hounds, will rest. here until the out
laws again disclose their whereabouts.
They were last seen at 10 o'clock yes
terday at the house of Mrs. Martin,
one-half mile from the Targeson
ranch. A few minutes after leaving
the Martin place the outlaws met a
peddler, with whom they exchanged
a few words. The peddler asked
them if they were hunting the con
victs, to which one replied, mo, but
you come about as near as any one
knowing where to find them"
At the Martin place Tracy remained
at the edge of the road, on watch,
while Merrill went to the house. Here
they secured about 10 pounds of -four,
part of a loaf of bread, about a pound
OF butter and a quart Of strawberries,
for which Merrill paid the lady 81.

The conference lasted two hours.
President Mitchell, after the meet

what particular matters were talked
of. and whether business connected
with the coming special national con

that he would prefer not to say any.

Mr.. Ryan had anything to say beyond
the statement that they felt we'll sat
isfied with the situation, both east
and west. They left for their homes
late tonight.
Information has reached here
through different sources that the soft
coal miners in the west are not unani-
nous for a general strike, and some
of them, it is said. are against a par
tial suspension. Those men are will
ing to- give financial aid to the anthra-
cite strikers, but some of the leaders
are not ready to accept this sort of
aid.
President Mitchell has been in
close communication with the lead
ers of the various districts, and what
ever plan they decide Upon will, no
doubt, be adopted by the convention.
No radical action, such as a total sus-
pension of work by the entire mem
bership of the organization, is look
ed for.
President Mitchell received informa-
ton today from West Virginia which
he says indicates that the strike there
-
is progressing most favorably. He
said more men are now out in that
territory than at any other time since
the strike in the Virginias began.
Large gains have been made, he said,
along the line of the Norfolk & West
ern railroad.
There were no developments in the

anthracite strike today. The can

runnerss who have failed to- respond
to the strike order goes steadily on.
Additional men are persuaded each
day to quit, but the coal companies
say they always have men on hand to
fill their places.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT GIVES
RECIPROCITY DINNER.
MAY. NEGOTIATE A TREATY
Methods for Obtaining What Is De-
sired Are Discussed, But No
Plan Is Formulated.

Washington, June 20.-The presi
dent tonight gave a dinner to about
a dozen leading republican senators
favorable to Cuban reciprocity, and
discussed with them the ways and
means Of securing a reduction of du-
ty on Cuban products in order that
the pledges made to Cuba may be re-
deemed.
Among those at the dinner were
Senators Allison, Aldrich, Hale,
Spooner, Lodge and Platt.
Roosevelt Is Firm.
Secretary Root was one of the
guests. The president, it can be stat
ed, is firm and ~steadfast in his deter
mination that in some form or other,
and at the earliest opportunity, there
shall be secured to the new republic
of Cuba a substantial reduction of
import tariff on her exports to the
United States, SO that her people may
feel that this country has kept every
promise made them, and has done all
that could be fairly expected to assur
the permance and prosperity to their
newly established government.
Must Leave 1t to Future.
How or when the result will be OBJ
tanned is a matter that the president
must leave to future developments,
hut ~ q Io cfo%a1 ivy oy,fh0ri%y fhot
the administration will continue unre-
hitting in its endeavors until it &C
complishes Cuban reciprocity in some
form or other. 1t has not been def
nitely decided whether this can be
brought about earlier by a bill or by
a treaty, nor whether good judgment
and sound policy require that the
matter go owe for a time.
Methods Are Discussed.
The methods and opportunities
were canvassed carefully tonight. The
president will not content himself
with shelving the question, now that
he has urged the matter on congress
in a special message, but will take
such further steps as may be calculat-
ed to secure the reduction he has urg-
ed, whether there will be an extra
session or not, and if so, when it shall
be %ccnvoked, is altogether problemat-
ical.
For the present efforts will be con
tinued at this session on the part of
the 10 republican senators who last
night opposed reciprocity with Cuba.
What a Treaty Will Do.
If it appears that a treaty will ac-
complish results one will be nego-
tiated and submitted to- the senate |
whenever the occasion seems oppor-
tune. The president will not await
authority from congress to frame
such a document. The treaty max
ing power is vested in him and a de- /
cision has been reached to exercise |
the power should that appear the best
method of obtaining favored trade |
relations with Cuba. The president
and the senators also considered the |
question of the final adjournment of
congress. and after the conclusion of
the conference one of the prominent
senators present expressed the opin- |
ion that congress would adjourn by |
the first week in July. He hardly |
thought, he said, that there would
be anything done in a legislative way
in the direction of Cuban reciprocity
at this session.
