OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED.
French Governor Sends Word of the
South Sea Horror TO Paris.

French Governor Sends Word Of the
South Sea Horror TO Paris.
Paris, Feb. 1.-THE governor of the
French dependencies in the South Pa
cific has cabled to the colonial Office
that a "cyclone has devastated the
Tuamotu group of islands," forming a
dependency of the French possession
of Tahiti, Society islands. The gov
ernor adds that he is proceeding to
the relief of the sufferers.
The dispatches received here from
the United States contain practically
all the information furnished to the
French officials and public concerning
the tidal wave disaster in the Society
islands, though these have been sup
plemented by brief official notifications
to the colonial Office. These advices,
however, give no details of the loss of
life
The Patrie refers to the disaster as
rivalling that of the islands of Marti-
nique, but owing to the absence of di-
rect advices the catastrophe in the So
ciety islands has not yet excited wide
spread attention here.

PANAMA in IGNORANCE.
Receives No Confirmation Of Reported
Central American War.

@ Panama, FEB. 11-No confirmation
has been received here regarding the
reported declaration of war by Guate-
smala against Salvador and Honduras.
1t is we'll known that Guatemala open
~ sym athizes with the president
elect of Honduras, Senior Bonilla. and
tits believed that the present critical
situation in Guatemala will not allow
the government to render Senior Bonil-
Ia any substantial aid. Salvador and
Nicaragua are protecting their respec-
tive countries. War preparations are
to be proceeding in Guatema-
la, where a strict censorship has been
established over outgoing cablegrams
1t is reported that Guatemala has
5000 men on the frontier. The Mica
raguan government has sent forces
from various points to help the retir-
ing president of Honduras, General
Sierra. President zelaya of Nicaragua
and President Regalado, Of Salvador,
are convinced that General Sierra will
not allow the meeting OF the Hondu-
ran congress. Senior Alvearado Guer-
zero, one Of Senior Sierra's ministers,
has left him to join President-Elect
Bonilla, who has organized his govern
ment at Amapala Island
!. The origin of the present conflict
lies in the opposition of President
Cabrera of Guatemala to the interven-
ton of Salvador and Nicaragua in IA
vor of General Sierra.

heard of the reported proclamation of
war against Honduras and Salvador

cRlTlcIsE THE UNION.
Counsel for Operators Score Mine
! Workers Oraanization.

Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-THE United
Mine Workers of<America, as an or
ganizatiOn, was severely scored during
the day by counsel before the anthra-
cite coal strike commission, The non
union men, through their attorney,
John T. Lenahan, presented their side
OF the controversy and, demanded con-
sideration at the hands Of the COM
mission, claiming the legal right to
earn a livelihood as they might elect
without the consent or dictatiOn of the
union. During his presentation Of the
case Mr.. Lenahan denounced the union
as a fOmenter of. crime and anarchy.
The main feature of his argument was
the claim that the union had no legal
or moral right to cOerce miners into
membership or to arrogate to itself
the authority to fix the wages of mine
workers.
Recognition of the Union.
James H. Torrey, counsel for the
Delaware and Hudson company:
claimed that the question of recogni
ton of the union was not an issue be-
fore the commission, but he devoted
considerable time to the consideration
of that demand. He asserted that
violence and intimidation were agen-
cies for the promotion of the purpose
of the mine workers. Regarding the
demand for an eight-hour working day,
M. Torrey said the evidence showed
that for various reasons the breakers
did not average more than eight hours
day, SO that the physical effects of
long hours were not felt.
Major Everett Warren, counsel for
the Hillside Coal and Iron company
and the Pennsylvania Coal company,
answered the demands of the miners
in detail and declared the socialistic
theories of the union, or some of it's
leaders, to be responsible for unrea-
sonable claims.

Grahamstown, South Africa, Feb. II.
In replying to Populations and as a
guest at a banquet given here, Colo
NAL Secretary Chamberlain made
speeches during the day which are
considered as clearly foreshadowing
an invitation to Cape Colony to make
a money contribution to aid the i'm
perial government in carrying cut it's
South African proposals.
Mr.. Chamberlain reiterated that
High Commissioner Lord Miner was
secure in the confidence of his SOW
ereign and his government, and that
II his health was preserved he would
remain to complete his work He re-
minded the Dutch that it was the hope
of their support that induced the
Beers to undertake their struggle in
defiance Of Great Britain which has
left misery behind The colonial Sec
rotary appealed to them to accept the
result as final, as the Beers had al
ready done, to forget racial differ
ences and to aim at the fusion instead
Of the disruption of the empire.
While the English householder, he
continued, was heavily taxed, the
Cape was the only colony which profit
ed by the war and had gigantic sur
plus.
1t Depends Upon Them
whether Africa's future was to be one
of strength or weakness. He was not
there to say smooth things and close
his eyes to obvious facts. Cape Col

II am addressing all colonies" con-
| cluded Mr.. Chamberlain, when I say
that they are not doing what they
| ought in regard to their obligations to
the empire. Who knows when a new
blow may fall?"
Mr.. Chamberlain, in his speech at
| the banquet, compared the settlers in
South Africa in 1920 with the Puritan
| settlers in the Eastern states Of Amer
lea. In neither case did the struggle
| against the forces of nature and bar
| barism make them lose sight of the
| value and Importance of intellectual
| development. Accordingly, they be-
| came in Grahamstown, as in Boston,
a great center of educational activity
and energy, but Grahamstown and it's

| strongly because they have never for

TO Mr.. BOWEN.
CALLS AT BRITISH EMBASSY

~ CSnfoFm TO BRUSH FFotoCoi' 49,
Washington, Feb. 11.-Great Brit
aims protocol has been formally &C.
cepted by Minister Bowen for Vene-
Zuela. The German and Italian con-
ventions are still undergoing revision,
but assurances are given in authora~
tive quarters that they will be event
ually made to conform in all essential
respects to that of the British ambas-
sador. Owing to the illness of the
British ambassador, Minister Bowen
called at the embassy and personally
signifed his approval Of the agreement
to the ambassador. He then present
ed his formal note of acceptance and
1t has been cabled to the London for
eign office. It appears that the inser-
ton in the German protocol of the pro-
vision for the advance payment of the
$4,000 demanded of President Cas-
tro in the German ultimatum was the
result of a misunderstanding on the
part of the German foreign office, after
certain steps in the negotiations. Ac-
EOrding to the German ambassador
This Point is Being Cleared Up.
Inc ltallan Ambassadors instructions
are such that he can make little head
way until he knows what is contained
In the German protocol. He, however,
has made a rough draft of his con-
vention and it will take only a short
while after the completion of the Ger
man convention for Mayer DIES Plan
ches to put the finishing touches to
his protocol. -
Minister Bowen has done everything
possible to conclude the negotiations
with dispatch in order that the block
ade might be raised and he expressed
his belief that he had in this effort re-
ceived the support Of all the negotia-
tors. If a serious hitch shall occur at
the eleventh hour, Minister Bowen is
confident that it will be through no
fault of any one of the representatives
of the allies here. Should the proto-
coils of Germany and Italy, when pre-
sented to him, contain provisions not
in line with those of the British, the
negotiations must be prolonged until
a satisfactory arrangement can be
reached
