SAW THE NAVAL BATTLE
ACCOUNT OF THE EN-
GAGEHENT IN PANAMA BAY.
Rebel GunbOat PadiIla CircIed About
the LautarO with Every Gun
Pouring Out Fire.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29-The steamship
Finance, which has arrived from Colon
brought as a passenger Commandant
Louis Bourgeois, of the geodetic service Of
the French army, who witnessed the naval
engagement in the harbOr of Panama on
Jan. IS. Commandant Bourgeois watched
the battle from a warehouse roof. The
Padilla opened with every gun and circled
around the Lautaro. General Alban, on
the Lautaro, was killed on the first dis
charge of the Padilla's guns. Commandant
Bourgeois said he could see the men on the
decks of both ships plainly and, while the
the government ship was short-handed
The Padilla was firing every gun, while
the other ship. being shOrt-handed, was
only able to respond with her fore and aft
gatling guns. The Lautaro received ter
rible fire. The Padilla went around and
around her. raking her fore and aft until
the gunboat was dismantled hull. The
men on the government boat fought nobly,
but the odds against them were too great.
Even while the flames were raging, the
soldiers on the Lautaro kept firing their
guns until they were forced TO jump over
board. Two hours after the fight began
the Lautaro sank and her boiler blew up
with a great roar.
According to Bourgeois, the crew of the
Liberal gunboat made no attempt to rescue
the crew of the other ship. who were vainly
attempting to swim in the harbor, and
whose cries for help could be heard on
shore.

CHINESE EXCLUSION HEARING.
Senators Again Listen to Mr.. Liver
nash-Price Paid SmuggIers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2g.-E. J. Liver
nash, Of San Francisco, to-day concluded
his argument before the Senate committee
on immigra ton, begun last Monday in be-
half of the Chinese exclusion bills. He had
not he said, discovered, after diligent
search for information, any intimation that
the trade between the United States and
China had decreased on account of the at
titude of this government on the exclusion
question
In response to a question by Mr.. Pen
rose, he said that the arguments advanced
by the Southern cotton producers that
their trade with China would be severe
lv crippled was not well founded, because
II had been proven that sentiment was not
a controlling factor in trade. Answering
another question by Mr.. Penrose. he said
that payments for the successful SNUG
Cling OF a Chinaman into the United States
range from $50 TO $500 OF 81, 600 and in the
case OF a woman high $3.50 where
the object was 10 engage her In immoral
practices.
In the course of the hearing Mr.. Penrose
remarked that IL did not seem reasonable

Salisbury and LansdOwne Confer.

LONDON, Jan. 29-The premier, Lord
Salisbury, and the minister of foreign af-
fairs, Lord Lansdowne, took the unusual
course of visiting the House of Commons
this afternoon. They, held private consul
tations with their ministerial colleagues in
the committee room. The incident aroused
considerable interest In the lobby where
the visit was connected with the note of
the Dutch government.
Mr.. Hales, the correspondent of the Daily
Express in Berlin, predicts that should
peace eventuate in South Africa, CONNER
cial Germany will swoop down upon that
country and endeavor to divert its trade
TO Germany. There is no doubt says Mr.
Hales that the German will leave no stone
unturned TO take the fruits-of the war from
Great Britain. Mr. Hale's prophecies that
the German invasion Of South Africa will
eclipse the rush of Germans to America
fifty years ago, and says that the openness
of the tariff in South Africa is expected
to bring German merchants a substantial
advantage, and that the latter believe
that Boer influence will continue so great
that it will assure preferential treatment to
the Germans.

RATE CUTTING ADMITTED
PUBLISHED TARIFF RATES ON
GRAINS NOT FULLY OBSERVED.
Testimony of Railway OmciaIs Before
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission-Favored Shippers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-Some impor-
tant admissions of rate cutting were made
at hearing given by the Interstate-com-
merce Commission to-day in continuance
of the investigation began at Kansas City
on jan g. Vice Presidents Paul Morton
of the Atchison. and ]. NJ. Johnson. of the
Rock Island, and j. NJ, Monroe. traffic
manager of the Union Pacific, testified
All the witnesses admitted that the pub
lished tariff rates on grain moving in and
out of Kansas City, Mo-. had not been OBJ
served. They explained the methods by
which the lower rates actually were &C
corded, and contended that these conces-
sions were necessary. They conceded that
there were favored shippers on most of the
transcontinental lines, but claimed the
practice was the natural result of the COM
petitive conditions of transcontinental traf-
ic. The most serious cutting of rates.
they said, prevails between Kansas City
and Chicago. The witnesses admitted that
at a time when the published rates from
Kansas City to Chicago was II cents per
lvD pounds there was practically no grain
moved at a rate above Z cents. and more
or less of this traffic was carried at the
rate Of cents.
Without admitting that the observance
of the published tariff by all the lines and
i'm all cases would operate to the undue
prejudice of Kansas City Messrs. Morton
and Johnson, on the part of their roads,
the only two that run both east and west
from Kansas City. stated that If any ar
rangements could be made or any plan de-
vised which would result in actual bona
fide observance of the published tariffs
some changes in the rates would be very
freely made. The rates, they said, ordi-
narily are based on the Missouri river and
the through rates are made by adding the
rates TO KansastCity to those bevond Kan
sas City. Under the present arrangement
the lines west Of the Missouri river accept
as their proportion of the true rates to
Chicago and Eastern points 1 cent less
than their local rates into Kansas City.
This was explained TO be what is known
the arbitrary, OF which Kansas City
shippers have complained. The officials
expressed their willingness 10 wipe out
this arbitrary if the lines east of Kansas
City would enforce their rates.

Holland Has Asked Permission to
Send n Commission to the Burgh-
ers in south Africa.
REFERRED TO KITCHENER
GREAT BRITAIN AWAITING A RELY
FROM THE GENERAL.
Dutch Anxious to EnIiShten the Beers
as to the True Situation
of Affairs.

LONDON, Jan. 30.-The Hague corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail says he is able
to announce on authority that the Dutch
note to Great Britain after rehearsing the
earnest concern of that government at the
prolongation of hostilities in South Africa,
offered its good offices in bringing them to
a close To this end, Holland asked whether
Great Britain would be willing to permit
Dutch commission to proceed to South
Africa, to enlighten the Boer leaders in the
field as to the real position of affairs, and
more especially, since its understood that
there is not the slightest chance of inter
vention on the part of any European power
and that the prolongation of hostilities is
useless, if the brave struggle can serve no
further good purpose. The correspondent
says the Dutch government expressly an
nounces in this note that it possesses no
authorization whatsoever from the Boer
leaders, either in Europe or South Africa,
to take this suggested step, but that it ap-
peals to Great Britain on the ground of
common humanity, for military permission
for the Dutch commission to accomplish its
mission of peace.
Such permission would bind neither the
British government to the decision Of terms
or iniation of any negotiations. nor pledge
the Dutch government for the success of
its self-imposed task.
1t is understood that Great Britain is
awaiting the receipt Of Lord Kitohener's
view on this suggestion and is willing to
grant the requested safe conduct to the
Dutch commission If Lord Kitchener Of
fers no objections, though 1t is not hope
full Of any practical result from the effort.
The truth appears to be that DR.. Kuyper,
the Dutch premier, despairing because of
the negative attitude of DR.. Leyds, the
European representative of the Transvaal,
and his party, who maintained that their
credentials only permitted negotiations on
the basis of the retention of Boer indie
pendence, decided to appeal to the fighting
burghers. This explains the wish of the
Boer delegates in Europe to disassociate
themselves from the action taken by Hol-
land.
