at Havana.
CFrom a Stan Correspondent t.

WASHINGTON, Sept 25.-CSpeciaI TeIe-
gram')-Max Baer OF ST. Paul, Neb., consul
TO Cienfuegos, who has been in Washington
Tor several days, will leave for New York to-
morrow sailing for his new post on Octo-
Der L. Mr.. Baer has gone over the diploma
tic situation with officials in the State de-
partment and has been instructed as to the
requirements Of his new position. From the
American standpoint exceptional courtesy
has been shown Mr.. Baer by the State de-
partment and as he is the first consul from
the United States accredited to the republic
OF Cuba, with station at Cienfuegos, he goes
TO his new post much more generally in
formed as to conditions than is usual with
the Department Of State. AS Cienfuegos is
the next post OF Importance to Havana, Con-
sui Baer will be called upon to pass upon
many questions he has not met with here

questions affecting seamen and their rights

Cuba for the purpose OF making a study of
the Spanish language.

FIRST STEP IN THE CONTEST
Son of Millionaire stratton Files suit
to Break the Will of His
Father.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Sept 25.-
The first legal step in the effort OF l. Harry
Stratton to break the will of his father,
the late w. S. Strstton, was taken here to-
day when the son, through his attorneys,
filed a suit in the county court, setting
forth that he intends to contest the in
strument filed as the will OF his father and
further denying that w. S. Stratton died
possessed OF a will.
The son asks the court to appoint an
administrator or referee, to handle the
estate and preserve it intact pending the
litigation.
The purpose OF the suit is that the will
bearing the date OF August 5, 1901, was not
the fathers rightful will, and that a sec
ond instrument is in existence, but has
not made its appearance as yet. 1t is
stated by the lawyers who performed Mr..
Strattons business during the multi-mil-
lionaire's last illness that he attempted to
change the will of 1901. but was unable
to do so through extreme weakness.

BUYING COAL IN ENGLAND
American Demand for Anthracite on
the other side of the Allan
tic Remains Good.

LONDON, Sept. 25.-"The American de-
mand for anthracite coal continues good.
but up to date we have not made much
from 1t and the English consumer has been
getting all the worst Of the situation"
This statement has been made TO a repre-
sentative Of the Associated Press by the
most prominent anthracite operator on the
Coal exchange.
What | may call an abnormal American
demand has been felt for about a month
past" he continued. "7 have had a
steady trade with CanaS m he Pacific
coast and the statement NJ, 81, large
shipments TO Portland al, ~ .he
English press means to Portls ~
this is only our regular trade. "a,
normal shipments to date total about
tons, Of which our firm has sent all b
a thousand or so. I know my estimate is
accurate. We are slow, I confess, in taking
advantage OF the American demand. All
the orders thus far filled have been Just
at about the normal price. but free on
board. Quotations at Swansea advanced
during the past wees on INQUIRIES for
$4,000 tons more. The Americans have
been reluctant to pay the advanced price
of so cents.
"The people who are really suffering from
the DOOM are the Ensllsn consumers, De-
cause the retailers sharply advanced prices
coincident with the boom in the export
trade. AS the case stands, dealers are un-
able to fill all their orders on account of
the miners union.
I'VE could double the output Of the
collieries without increasing the force, but
the union regulations forbid the miners
from increasing the daily output. We ex-
pect the American demand to continue for
some time"

PARIS, Sept 25.-Secretary Hays note
to the powers on the subject OF Roumania' s
treatment OF Jews, OF which slight notice
was at first taken, under the impression
that Il would lead to nothing, is now at =
tracing more attention in the French press

II Is practically certain that the French
government will support movement among
the powers to put pressure on Roumania IN
favor Of better treatment of the Jews, and
II is believed Germany will take a similar
attitude. While IL is thought the United
States will thus be successful In stirring
the powers into seriously considering the
matter. and that remonstrances may be ad-
dressed 10 Roumania, not much hope is ex
pressed In practical and permanent effect
within Roumania from such action.

port on military affairs in the department

Wireless from Molokai light received
At 7:45 p. m:
Fearless could not make a landing
She went two miles below the station
and lowered boat. Wagner heard the
men call for help. He ran along the
coast but could not see men or boat.
Fearless blew three whistles. That's
all Wagner knows. He thinks boat
capsized. Fearless left for Honolulu.
This message was received over
wireless late last night. The Fearless
was sent to Molokai to take extra bat
teries to the wireless station there but,
Us can be seen by the message, 1t was
impossible to do this on account of the
very rough weather.
Manager Cross had decided that
Oahu should be given the election re-

thing were possible and so he dispatch
ed the Fearless.
II seems that In the boat were Messrs.
Wood and Watson who got within a
few yards OF the coast, three-quarters
Of a mile from the lighthouse. A ma
tive came off and landed one battery
but the other could not be put ashore.
The Fearless then picked up the boat
and started at a few minutes before I
for Honolulu. 1t is thought the opera
tor at the Molokai station got mixed
and sent a message that he thought the
small boat had been lost.
