AGREED TO DEMANDS.
Turkey VIII Make Ample Apology
to Consul Davis.


Constantinople, Dec. 20.-The Porte
has agreed to the demands of the
United States government and has or
dered the governor of Alexandretta to
make ample apology to Consul Davis
for the insults and assault to which
he was subjected by the police of Alex
andretta while he was escorting to
departing steamer a naturalized Amer
lean citizen named Attarin, who had
been released from prison through the
Intervention of Mr.. Davis.
Minister Leishman arrived at
friendly understanding in the premises
with Tewfix Pasha, the Turkish For
eign Minister, who agreed to the de-
mands of Minister Leishman.
The Porte notified the United States
legation orally and in writing Of the
instructions to call on Consul Davis
Immediately upon his arrival at Alex
andretta and offer to him a complete
apology The Porte has also promised
to punish the police officials who as
saulted Consul Davis and will allow
Attarin to depart unhindered.
The United States cruiser San Fran
cisco, with Rear Admiral Cotton, which
left Beirut Friday evening for the pur-
pose of taking Consul Davis to Alex
andretta, is expected to arrive there
to-day, and if the Turkish government
carries out the programme it has for
INFLATED, the Alexandretta incident
may be considered closed. 1t is felt
here that delay or complications are
not likely but Rear Admiral Cotton

eventualties.

DEAD ARE IN VAULTS
AWAITING BURIAL.
Effects of the Strike of Livery DrIv-
ers in Chicago.

ers IN Chicago.
Chicago, Dec. 2O.-Shrinking from the
espionage of union plckets and fearful
that funeral parties would be attacked
by the striking livery drivers, many
Chicago families have refrained from
publicly announcing their bereavement.
In the vaults of several undertakes
lie the bodies of persons about whose
death the utmost secrecy is maintain
ed, and whose funerals will be post
poned until after the settlement of the
strike. In other cases the stricken
relatives have arranged for evening
funerals and private burials, of which
no announcement is made.
The disgraceful scenes that attended
several funerals held on Saturday,
when union pickets attempted to in
terfere with the removal Of bodies.
have led the health department Off
Gals to sanction the secrecy that is
being preserved. The undertakers
have been informed that unless public
safety demands it burials will not be
insisted upon until such time as flu
neral parties shall be safe from moles-
tation.
Practically no attempt was made by
funeral parties to-day to reach the
cemeteries and the day was free from
disturbances.

OUTLOOK is GLOOMY
NOW IN THE FAR EAST.
That Is the View a News Agency
Takes of the Situation.


Takes of the Situation.
London, Dec. 20.-Reuter's Telegram
Company has learned that considerable
anxiety exists in the best informed
circles of London regarding the possible
outcome of the situation in the Far
East. Fears, it is said, are expressed
that the Russian government may
have overstepped the bounds which
would make a continuation of peaceful
negotiations with Japan possible. 1t is
regarded as quite certain, it asserts,
that Japan will not accept the prin-
ciples of the last Russian note, which
are altogether at variance with Japan's
contentious, and that Japan's reply
must necessarily be cast in this sense.
Apart from the delicate state of the
negotiations between the two nations,
Reuter- says, it is also known that Rus
STA is assuming a more defiant attitude,
and the outlook may be regarded as
more gloomy than it hitherto has been,
although it cannot be said that the re-
sources of diplomacy have been COM
pletely exhausted.
The statement concludes by saying
that there is as yet no actual news of
fresh developments, and that no ulti-
matum has been sent by Japan to Rus

FEAR is OF WAR.
Because of Some Unforeseen Incident
In the Far East.

London, Dec. 1.-The morning news
papers display increased alarm over the
aspect of affairs in the Far East, rather
from the fear that some unforeseen in
cident may precipitate a conflict than
from any belief that the resources of
diplomacy have been exhausted, the
opinion being still almost universal that
both Russia and Japan are anxious
to avoid war.
The Morning Post, which is inspired
in the japanese interest makes a sug
gestion which may possess significance
namely, that Japan should cut the
gordian knot by declaring a protec-
torate over Corea. The paper contends
that such a solution would commend
itself to all the Powers, with the eX-
ception of Russia, and that it might
even be welcomed at St. Petersburg,
if it be true that Russia does not de-
sire war.
The special cablegrams from the Far
East published in this mornings news
papers throw no new light on the stu
alton, but all are agreed that Japan
has not sent an ultimatum to Russia.
The correspondent of the Daily Tele-
graph, who, after a tour of Manchuria,
has arrived at Nagasaki, expresses the
belief that there will be no war-cer
tainly not before the spring, and that
Russia does not want a war before
she has consolidated her position in
Manchuria. She is apprehensive, how
ever, of the strength of the Japanese
fleet and over the attitude of China
and Great Britain.

WOMAN WAS WOUNDED
In n Manner to Recall Crimes OF
"JacL-the-R Ripper"


New York, Dec. 2O.-The Whitechapel
atrocities of Ripper" and the
murder of "Old Shakespeare" by the
Arab, Ben Ali, in this city, were recall
ed by the discovery to-day of the fear
fully mutilated body of a woman in
sailors resort of the lowest type in
James Slip, near the East river.
The woman, who was identified as
Sarah Martin, notorious character of
the Cherry Hill section, went to the
place last night, accompanied by man
who appeared to be a Swede, and who
registered as Carl Nelson and wife.
The man left the hotel this afternoon,
and an hour later the body of his COM
panion was found The wOman's
throat had been cut and the body was
otherwise badly mutilated. She had
evidently been killed while asleep, as
the condition of the room gave no indi-
cations that a struggle had taken
place.
The man carried two bundles, which
were found in the room and which may
afford a possible clue to the murderer.
One of the bundles contained two
striped shirts, both covered with blood,
as if the murderer had wiped his hands
on them. A fold in one of them showed
where a bloody knife had evidently
been wiped. The other bundle, shoe
box, contained an old pair of mems
shoes. on the wrapper of the box was
written in pencil "B. Beleno."
on the floor were found two purchase
checks, showing the purchase on Sat
urday from "Meigs Company, Incor-
porated Bridgeport, Conn.," of a pair
of shoes and a sweater 1t was noticed
that the man wore a sweater when he
left the hotel.
The Bridgeport police authorities
were notified by telephone, and central
office detectives went to Bridgeport to-
night to assist in running down the
clues.
The place in which the murder was
committed is said to be known by
sailors all over the world as slaughter

San Juan, Dec. 20.-The Cuban steam
er Julia, from Santo Domingo and
Haiti. arrived here to-day, having on
board Senior Espaillat, former Minister
of War of Santo Domingo; Commander
Peres of the Dominican army; Capt.
Geirra, Col. Espaillat and other sup
porters of former President Wos-y-Gil.
The Julia also brought Juan Medine,
a Porto Rican, who has been appointed
by the provisional government of Santo
Domingo as consul general to Porto
Rico in succession to Senior Morales.
The latter, however, refuses to sur
render his office, claiming that the pro-
Visional government has not been
recognized by the United States. He
has turned over the effects of the con-
sular office to Senior Galvan, a son of
Finance. Senior Medine will appeal to
Gov. Hunt tomorrow for official recog-
milton.
The supporters of Gen. Wos-y-Gil
held a long conference to-day. The
members of the party arriving on the
Julia express the belief that the inter-
Vention of the United States into the
affairs of San Domingo will be found
necessary in the near future. They de-
clare a crisis is rapidly approaching
and that the provisional government
finds it impossible to negotiate loans.
The Julia brought news that former
President Jiminez is now at Monte
Cristi; that former Vice President Des-
champs is in control of Puerto Plata,
and that Gems. Morales and Caceres are
fortifying the city of San Domingo.
1t is said that an attempt was re-

that Gen. Caceres lives in imminent

BANK OF CHICKASAW
Had Frauds to Figure In Its Recent

Ardmore, I. T., Dec. 20.-The liabili-

ton, which failed recently, are $4,000
and the assets $4,000, according to a
supplemental report just made public
by Receiver Foster, who says the assets
are of little or no value.
Receiver Foster intimates that fraud
has been practiced in the operation of
the banks affairs and says that false
entries have been made in the books.
1t also develops that prominent Indian
officials, who were directors in the
bank, are indebted to it in the sum of
$50 900.

NO ULTlMATUM SENT.
japan Has Not, 1t Is Thought, Taken
That step.

j
That step.
Pekin, Dec 20.-The report cabled
from Tien Tsin to London to the eff
feet that Japan had sent an ultimatum
to Russia is discredited here, and no
information of a corroborative nature
is in the possession of the foreign le-
cations.
While the knowledge of the lega-
tons on the situation leads to the
belief that the sending of an ultimatum
is improbable, the prospects of war
are evidently increasing. The British
legation some days ago received a tele-
gram intimating that war was posi-
BILE, and that the Japanese legation
is officially informed that Russia's re-
cent reply to the Japanese proposals
was unsatisfactory
While no news has been received
at the Japanese legation that Japan
has sent an ultimatum to Russia, 1t
is recognized at the legation that a
grave crisis is approaching. Maj. Gen.
Yamani, the Japanese military attache,
and the Japanese colonel who has been
instructing Gen. Yuanshai Kai's
troops have both started for Japan.
The native press recently reiterated
a circumstantial story to the effect
that in the event of Manchuria being
retained by Russia, it was the inten-
ton of Great Britain to establish a
protectorate over the Yang Use val
ley as compensation and to appoint
a viceroy therein, so that her prestige
in the Far East would be equal to
Russia's. Some of the native papers
gave the Wal WI Pu or Chinese for
eign board as authority for the story.
This fiction is largely credited and
gravely discussed and is creating hos
tility against Great Britain. 1t is sus-
pected that the story has been fos-
tered by unfriendly agencies appointed
for the purpose, and the British lega-
ton is investigating it's origin.
