trades to ask General Gomez, the gov
eminent commander, to receive him,
saying he had an important message
for him.
Learning that General Gomez was
not at Soledad, the priest departed,
promising to return. A correspondent
questioned him concerning his reasons
for hosting the United States flag, as
he is not an American The priest
replied:
Because the flag Of the United
States Is respected everywhere"
The priest refused to reveal the OBJ
ject Of his mission.

became so close they chloroformed hef
and buried her body in the Union Chap

JEWS AT
OYSTER BAY
President Roosevelt.
PETITION MAY NOT BE SENT
state Department Inclined TO Think
Rusata's Recent Activity In Matter
OF Kishinen outrages should
Preclude Further steps.

Oyster Bay, y. y. July 15.-An inn
portant conference has been held at
Sycamore Hi between the president
and representative Jewish citizens Of
the Society Of the B'nai Birth regard
ing the petition to the Russian govern
ment on the Kishineff outrages. Be
sides the president, the parties to the
conference were Simon s. Wolf Of
Washington, Oscar S. Straus and Leo
n. Levi Of New York.
The administration has been embar-
rassed by the delay Of the representa-
tives Of the B'nai Birth society in pre-
.senting the petition. A draft Of the
document was handed to President
Roosevelt several weeks ago by Mr..
Wolf, but 1t was decided after some
consideration to modify the text OF the
petition before presenting 1t formally
to this government for transtnittal to
Russia Time was desired, too, to OBJ
tain 70 the petition the signatures Of
representative citizens of the United
States Of all the religious faiths As
a result the document was not placed
in the hands Of the president until
now.
The result of the conference at Saga
more Hill has not been disclosed vet,
bat strong intimation is given that
the petition may not be forwarded to
the Russian government. The desire
Of both the president and Secretary
Hay is that the Kishineff incident
should Be closed as soon ais possible,
as further delay in its consideration
might prove embarrassing to this gov
eminent IN other diplomatic negotia-
tons with Russia.
May Not send Petition.
Inasmuch as the Russian government
has Indicated by the adoption Of severe
measures a genuine disposition to pun
ish adequately the perpetrators of the
Kishineff murders and in addition those
who instigated them, it is a problem
for the president and Secretary Hay to
solve whether representations concern
ing the incident now are either desir.
able or necessary.
It Is suggested that the whole matter
may be resolved into brief statement
through diplomatic channels to the
Russian foreign Office that such a petit
ton IS in the hands Of the United
States, thus leaving it to Russia to say
whether it would or would not receive
the document if 1t were presented. 1t
would close the incident without sub
1ecting United States relations with
Russia to a strain, and it Is believed
would be quite as effective as the
actual presentation Of The petition.
