DR.. Herran In Disfavor.


DR.. Herran, Colombian charge daft
flares, was shown the instructions to
Minister Beaupre the day they were
cabled. Herran was asked to notify his
government to the same purport. He
declined to do SO.
Since then the relations of DR.. Herran
and the state department have been
somewhat strained and the criticism
passed upon the departments action by
DR.. Herran has not mended matters.
Secretary Hay has asked DR.. Herran
whether or not the words attributed to
him in the interview are correct. II
Herran admits their authenticity. Sec
rotary Hay intends to call DR.. Herran
somewhat sharply to account.
state Department Responsfble.
The state department, while it is re-
ported, despite denials. to be impatient
with Minister Beaupre over his failure
to report promptly the proceedings at
Bogota, does not for moment falter in
its support of Beaupre. so far as his
omcial communications to Colombia are
concerned. He has acted strictly ac-
cording to instructions, and II there is
to be any blame for the brusque and CO.
ercive tone Of American notes, the state
department should shoulder it.
The department, however. is Begin
ming to see that the treaty is probably
lost. Minister Herran said Friday he
had about given up hope.

One OF the Fugitives Supposed to
BE Shot.
DUTCH FLAT, Cal, Aug. 1.-TWO
Of the fugitive Folsom convicts were
surrounded here, and a fight ensued
1t is supposed that one of the convictS
was shot by Glen Wedgewood. Wedge
wood was shot in the hand by the con-
victs.
The big fight which resulted in the
death of two guardsmen was started
by the conyicts who lay in ambush.
Lieutenant Smith and seven men were
pursuing a trail that had been discov-
cred. Their first intimation of the
presence of the convicts was when the
latter opened fire on them at close
range from hiding place in the bush
es. Three members of Lieutenant
Smiths squad fell at the first volley.
They were Rutherford. Jones and Gill.
The soldiers returned the fire and re-
treated down the HILL leaving the fallen
men to take care of themselves. Gill
managed to make his way to place of
safety and was picked up by friends
and carried to the mine. The pursuers
made no attempt to get back to the
scene to learn the fate of the other
men.

The Russian Asiatic squadron has

The Japanese standing squadron is

Hokosaido. Thus, says the japanese
Herald, the main naval forces of Japan
and Russia are naturally attracted
to northern waters.
The way of Marquis Ito, who has
been made president Of the privy coun-
ell, is cleared for his ascendency in the
national council. Count Mutsukata and
Marquis Yamagata have been made
privy councillors.
The appointments, which were i'm
pressively conferred by the mikado,
were unexpected by the two latter, as
well as by the Japanese public.

LAttauer's Case Goes to Attorney
General.
WASHINGTON, Aug. THE inves-
figation of the Lyon-httauer glove
contracts with the United States gov
eminent has been turned over to the
department of justice.
Only one Official in the entire war de-
partment has taken it upon himself to
say that Lucius N Littauer, the most
intimate friend Of the president, has
violated the laws of the nation.
This official is Judge Advocate Gen
eral Davis. He makes this unequivocal
assertion:
"A case falling within the prohibition
of the statute Is clearly shown in the
testimony, which, in the opinion of this
Office, charges the department with the
performance OF the duty set forth in
section 3,739 of the revised statutes; and
it therefore recommended that a de-
mand be made by the quartermaster
general on the firm of Littauer Bros.
for the repayment of whatever sum is
found to have been paid in considera-
ton of the contract of Dec. 7, 1898,
with 3. r. Lyon, as extended, in ac-
cordance with its terms, by the quar-
termaster's department.
This became known when Secretary
Root made public all the papers in the
investigation into the remarkable glove
contract scandal.
