MR.. DAVIS $4,000 BOOK.
New York Publishers Say Only 5000
Copies Were Printed.
Chicago Record-Herald.

VIM. E. Curtis In Chicago Record Herald.
A story going the rounds of the newspa-
pers to the effect that Webster Davis Of
Kansas City has realized S1S0,0oo out of the
book on the Boer war is laughed at by
New York publishers. who claim that only
5000 copies were ever printed. and even
they We're not all sold. If Mr.. Davis made
s., 500 out of the book he did uncommonly
WELL but those who know the facts say
that his royalties were nearer $50. 1t is
believed that this story was started to ex-
plain the sudden possession of Mr.. Davis of
large sum of money which otherwise can
not be accounted for. and which some peo-
pie have been unkind enough TO declare
was paid to him by the Beers for his fruit
less services in securing the support OF the
United States government. Certain people
claim to possess documentary evidence to
prove their assertion, and Boer representa-
tives in this country don't hesitate to say
they were deceived and humbugged by him.
At any rate, when Mr.. Davis went to South
Africa he was poor man. Since he has
returned he has money to burn" There
is report that Mr.. Davis is coming to New
York to live, and will open a law Office
here.

SPANISH OFFICIALS COURTEOUS.
Interchange of Civilities With Ameri-
can Officers at La Guayra.


Correspondence of the Associated Press.
CARACAS, June 30.-The recent visit o.
the American warships Cincinnati and To-
peka to La Guayra gave occasion for
pleasant interchange of civilities between
Spanish and American officials After the
official visit of the Spanish minister, Mr..
de Ayala, he and his wife attended
breakfast on board the Cincinnati in COM
pany with Mrs. Herbert Bowen, the wife
of the American minister. Some days af-
terward the Spanish consul in full uniform
visited the Cincinnati and Topeka, and on
leaving received the regulation salute.
On the subject of these visits the Her
aldo Espanol, the organ of the Spanish col
ony in Venezuela said:
"a commission of the officers of both
cruisers visited Mr.. Bel Ohe Spanish con-
sub, establishing the best relations with
those who but lately were our enemies in
war and who today desire to be our best
friends in peace. AS there is no room for
rancor in Spanish breasts We are sincerely
thankful for the attentions shown to our
authorities and we offer our best welcome
to the commander and officers of the said
cruisers"

ESCAPES FROM GUARDS.
Fort Myer Soldier Prisoner Who Tired
of His Occupation.

The conduct of some of the military
guards from Fort Myer caused passengers
on the Falls Church electric line this morn
ing to believe that hostilities in Rosslyn
had been renewed. Several of the early
morning cars on which suburban office
holders and others were coming in the di-
rection of the south end of the bridge were
''held up by the armed guards who were
searching for a member of the cavalry
troop.
eff I run across him I'll put eight bullets
in him" shouted one of the guards, who
was within hearing of the passengers on
the car.
At short intervals other armed men were
seen and each one seemed to be anxious
for an opportunity to use his rifle. 1t de-
veloped that Julius Williams, a military
prisoner. had escaped from the guard and
that each of those concerned was especial
ly anxious that he should be recaptured in
order to avoid possible trouble for himself
Williams was out on the grounds at work
sponsibiHty of his safe-keeping. The pris-
oner evidently became tired of working
without pay and thought there were spots
outside the grounds where the atmosphere
was more pleasant than it was within the
Enclosure. AS soon he was missed a
number of cavalrymen were sent in pursuit
of him. His arrest. it was stated at the
fort this afternoon, had no connection with
the recent troubles in the village. Williams
who is twenty-five years old, was still at
large this afternoon.

A dispatch from Boston yesterday says:
Charles Roberts. assistant steward on the
Cunarder Saxonia, was fined SO in the East
Boston district court today on pleading
guilty to charge of desecrating the Amer

Joying the Fourth Of July in East Boston

there, while waiting to be served with re-
Treatments, Roberts took a small American
nag from his pocket After making some
insulting remarks he tore the flag into
shreds and threw them in the face of a
stranger.
Those present drove the three men into
the street, where one man singled out Rob
erts and gave him such a beating that he
has since been confined to the hospital
Roberts is an Englishman.

if it is their duty TO establish the stand or

"First-That the farmers who now use

they pay an aggregate rental of about 500
per annum, would discontinue the use of
such stands and go to stands on the street,

The Presidents Opposition to Promo
ton Of Inspector Rand

The rejection by the President OF the
recommendation of examining board for
the promotion of Pay Inspector Stephen
Rand to be pay director in the navy, has
raised the question at the Navy Depart
ment as to whether the holding up of Mr.
Rand's promotion will result injuriously
to the person who has next claim to ad-
vancement, Pay Inspector Lawrence c.
Boggs- The department realizes fully the
seriousness of sudden check to advance
ments which the Presidents action appears
to threaten, and If injustice to those below
ray inspector Rand in rank is the alterna-
tive, 1t Is said the Presidents objection to
that officers advancement will be with

his treatment was similar to what he had

were similarly afflicted.
The doctor said when he gave the NOR
phine suppositories he gave orders that the
infants condition should be noted before
the dose was repeated. People in the house
became excited over the little ones condi-
ton and sent for him. He found the
medicine had done the child no harm. Wit
ness administered belledonna because it
was necessary, and the child improved.
Later 1t showed signs of exhaustion. Wit
ness said he had used similar medicine in
cholera infantum cases before and always
with good results. The child was in a bad
way when he was called. There was only
one twenty-fourth of a grain of morphine
in each suppository. Death, the doctor
stated, was due to exhaustion.

CHARLES CROzIER ABROAD.

SALT LAKE.-Charles Crozier, of
the Honolulu fire department, and
brOther-in-law of j. G. Anderson of 1913
Brigham street, is visiting in the city.
He came to this country a few days
ago to purchase an aerial extension
ladder for his department. While in
San Francisco the chief there exhibited
that department for the edification of
the visitor, and Chief Devine did the
same. Mr. Crozier said yesterday that
the insurance rates on the island range
from $50 to $50 per $1,000, as compared
with IS in this city That is due to the
lntlammable material of which all
buildings there are constructed, and
the constant use of fireworks by the
natives and Chinese in frequent cele-
brations. Just before he left Honolulu
he was called upon to fight a fire which
burned over several acres of ground,
destroying many buildings.-Salt Lake
