FORMER JOLO GOVERNOR
REACHES San FRANCISCO
Is Major c. A. Williams, of
18th u. S. Infantry.
Army Officer In Letter Gives Interest
ing Details of the Voyage of the
Fitzpatrick From Manila.

4 letter just received from Major
Charles \. Williams. of the Seventeenth
Infantry, and former Governor of the
Jolo Archipelago. who, with his wife and
son. has just arrived at San Francisco.
gives interesting details of the voyage
Of the Fitzpatrick from Manila.
The transport sailed from Manila at /
o'clock on the afternoon of March /, ana
reached San Francisco at the same hour
on Sunday March 80 making glad Eas-
ter for her 800 passengers. The only stop
made was at Nagasaki where they took
on 1900 tons of coal Major Williams. in
telling OF the trip, says:
Caught By Storm.
I'VE were overtaken by a storm on the
l1th inst The wind blew hard from the
west and the seas were rolling very high,
lust how high. as understood by seamen,
few of the passengers realized. until
at about l o'clock they broke over our
main deck. crushed through a door and
partition into the layatory and closet oil
the hospital, carried debris against op-
posite partition. crushing it in. and swept
through the hospital TO the lower tier OF
berths. many OF which were occupied by
the sick. of whom over ninety men were
sent home by this boat.
Later came another terrific crash, the
rudier chain OF the steam steering ap-
paratus had parted. As soon as the men
| could be put at the hand steering wheel
the ship was put about and we were soon
sailing due westward in the teeth OF the
storm. All began to realize the full I'M
| mort of a storm at sea and waves noun

Chain Repaired.
Happily the chain was repaired before
dark and we were again on our course ana
the wild astern, with a tendency to sub
side.
We have about 900 men aboard, includ-
ing discharged soldiers. or the Seven
| teenth proper there are but about 80 men

ters. We expect to meet Colonel Goodale

ment. Our new lieutenant colonel lock

You will doubtless see ere this press

the tragic incidents attending it. Colonel
| (Surgeon) Pope died about two weeks be-
fore we left Manila, and Mrs. Pope was
accompanying his renains home and
bringing home her children, boy OF
| twelve and girl Of nine.
Cared For By Nurse.
| "The little orphans are being cared foi
| by a nurse, detailed in Manila to take care
of Mrs. Pope, who was sick when the
colonel died. The disease became agra

| excitement and nervousness caused by
the storm, together with her great grlci
prevented her recovery. Two grown sons

A boundary dispute not unlike our own
in Alaska is causing the South American
Republics of Bolivia and Peru no end Of
annoyance. It is a source OF constant fric-
tion between two otherwise close friends.
Bolivia granted concession to syn
dicate for the exploitation and develop
ment of region which her sister Repub-
lie claims as her property. AS the recent
Pan-American congress at Mexico brought
about an understanding on arbitration, it
is hoped by both sides that the question
will soon be definitely settled ana all
danger of discord shut out.
The Peruvian Minister at La Paz, in the
hope of throwing light on the situation
and OF reaching an amicable agreement S
early as possible addressed a protest
against the granting of the concession.
The protests have just been made public,
OF which the following are traRslations:
Letter to Bolivia
Peruvian Legation.
La Paz, Dec. ). 1901.
"Mr Minister: On several occasions
have had the honor TO express verbally
to your excellency the reasons which my
Government adduces for thinking that the
Government N your cyCellency cannot
carry out and sanction The agreement
which II. L. Senor AramayO entered into
with the Bolivia Syndicate represented
by Nr. Frederick Willingford Whitridge,
in reference to the territories known as
the Territcry Of Acre Aquiry.'
Tie honorable National Congress is
about to take up the matter. wherefore |
feel Obliged in defence OF the rights Of
Peru. to address TO your excellency the
present communication.
by article % Of the treaty concluded
on November ;, 1853. Peru and Bolivia
bound themselves to recognize and re-
spect the limits which at that time ac
tuaily existed, SO, therefore Bolivia
could not extend her possession beyond
the points at which it reached at that
date.
Agreement Covers Ground.
Apart from the agreement upon which
the rights OF Peru rest, which ! do not
propose to present at this time, a new
reason comes to strengthen the Opposi-
tion which my Government makes TO this
grave project.
1T consists Of the fact that your excel
lency and myself are engaged in solving
defnitiyely the question OF limits which is
still pending between both countries:
and while these negotiations are open it is
not possibly to modify without harm TO
the interests OF one OF the parties the sit
uation in which both found themselves
at the time OF their initiation.
Therefore the condition existing in
1869 should always be respected, and to-
DAY with greater reason.
In Friendly Spirit.
81 feel certain that your exceliency
whose high sense Of justice am pleased
10 place on record here. will take upon
himself, in appreciation of the force Of
these arguments and OF the very friendly
spirit which inspires them, TO withdraw
the project from the knowledge Of she
honorable National Congress, whose ad-
verse vote would be in the other case tho
only means OF ending the affair.
II avail myself. Mr.. Minister, OF thit
opportunity to renew to your excellency
the assurance of the most distinguished
confederation. FELIPE DE OSMA."

tective sergeant
'To the ordinary observer one
would think it comparatively easy to
commit crime whether of robbery
or of homicide, and escape detection,
especially in large city like New
York. 1t would appear to be very
easy in that whirlpool Of humanity

where one does not know the resi-.
dents of his own apartment house, or
even those on the same floor with
him, much less the people upon the
block.
"The two great reasons why such
an escape is not made by the culprit
lie in bis lack Of nerve, once blood
has been shed by him, and from the
further fact that we all have our
little worlds in which wo live, and
when stranger comes over the thea.
hold thereof we at once detect his
presence.

trait OF human nature showing itself
over and oyer again, tho police are
able to lay their hands 80 quickly

where to look for their game. Like
the hunted wild animal, they run in
the same paths where pursued, and
are quickly brought to bay or shot

Each year the catching of offend

President John Mitchell of the
United Mine Workers has refused to
comply with the appeal of President
Roosevelt to call the strike off. His
letter to the President, which was
made public at the White House,
: says the responsibility for the con-
tinuation of the strike should be

arbitration. President Mitchells let.
ter follows:
Wilkesbarre, Pa,
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt,
President Of the United States,
Washington, D. G.
Dear Sir: Hon. Carroll D. Wright
has no doubt reported to you the de-
livery of your message to me last
Monday and my statement to him
that should take your suggestion
under advisement, although 1 did
not look upon it with favor.
Since that time | have consulted
with our district PREF dents, who con-
cur fully in my views.
We desire to assure you again
that we feel keenly the responsibility
OF our pooltion and the gravity of
the situation, and 1T would give ns
great pleasure to take action which
would bring this coal strike to an
end In a manner that would safe
guard tho interests of our constit-
uents.
In proposing that there be an i'm.
mediate resumption Of coal mining
upon conditions we suggested in the
conference at the White House we
believed that we had gone more than
half way and had met your wishes.
1t is unnecessary in this letter to
refer to the malicious assault made
upon us in tho response Of tho coal
operators. We feel confident that
you must have been impressed with
the fairness Of our proposition and
tho insincerity of those who malgned
US.
Having in mind Our experienced
with tho coal operator in the past
We have no reason to feel any degree
of confidence IN their Willingness to
do us Justice in the future and was

No comment was made concerning

at the White House, although it can
be said that the president has not

about an end to the strike. Nothing
