POSTAL MEN
FOUND GUILTY

BALTIMORE, Dec. S.-Columbus
Ellsworth Upton and Thomas w Nc
Gregor, on trial in the United States
District Court here for conspiracy to
rob the government in connection with
a contract for leather pouches, were
adjudged guilty late this afternoon.
Charles Smith, who received the or
der for 10000 pouches through the in
fuence Of Upton and McGregor. was
the principal witness against the ac-
cused District Attorney John c. Rose
and Charles ]. Bonaparte addressed
the jurors for the government and A.
L. Leclie OF Washington and William
S. Bryan Jr. of this city for the defense.
In the course of his remarks Bryan
took occasion TO criticize the methods
OF the Postofice Department. He said
in part:
First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne is overpaid for merely signing
letters he does not read. The whole
Postohlce Department is incompIetely
and shamelessly run and the Govern
ment has bounded McGregOr and Up
ton as scaDegoats because OF gross
incompetency in conducting the affairs
of the department"
He ridiculcd Wynne as, a high roll
err and a rren who lived on cham
pagne. green peas and canvasback
ducks and did not attend to his busi-
ness.

During His Clos

- LONDON. Dec .S.-Herbert Spencer,
the famous author. died this morning
at his home IN Brighton His health
had been falling for some months The
illness took critical turn a few days
ago and he became unconscious last
night passing away without pain. By
his own desire. the least possible infor-
nation was given out during Spcncer's
illness.
The newspapers all publish long ap-
precfatfons and anecdotes Of Spencer.
whom they describe as the last Of the
great thinkers Of the Victorian age"
The attending physician certifies that
Herbert Spencer died OF senile decay.
The distinguished writer, having no
near. relatives living. was attended by a
nurse and his. secretary. By his own
wish the remains will be brought to
London and cremated at Hampstead
Nothing is. known OF the extent OF the
autobiography which il is understood
he has been writing during recent
years. Numberless kilograms have
been received from all parts Of the
world. including one from the King Of
Italy. expressing his warm admiration
for the dead philosopher.
Leonard COurtenay speaking at
Edinburgh tonight, referred to a con-
versatiOn on the fiscal controversy
which he had with Herbert Spencer
some time ago. during which Spencer
said:
Il want you to say this-and want
every body to go to the root Of the mat
ter: What is the moral basis which
justifes any interference with my free
dom in buying as / like in an honest
market"

Special Dispatch to The Can.


BERLIN, Dec. s-The Tageblatt
prints a dispatch from Constantinople
saying that the American Embassy
there has ordered a warshiD from Bel
rut TO Alexandretta, Syria, and has de-
manded Of the Porte the punishment
Of the Vail OF Alexandretta, owing to
the wrongful arrest Of an American
citizen, who is an Armenian by birth.
j is added that ". r. Davis. the
American Consul at Alexandretta, has
been forced by threats Of Turks to fee
TO Beirut for safety.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Dec. s.-The
United States flag over the Consulate
in Alexandretta, Asiatic Turkey. has
been hauled down and Consul Davis
has LETT his post for Beirut in conse-
Quence Of a serious diplomatic incident.
during which Davis was insuIted and
assaulted by the local police.
The AFFAIR grew out Of the arrest OF
an Armenian, Channes Attarian, a nat
Uralizqd American. Attarian had been
in prison at AleDDo during the last two
months and had just been liberated
through the intervention Of the Ameri-
can consular agents on condition that
be leave the country forthwith.
Davis was accompanying Attarian on
board a departing steamer when the
police Intercepted the party, assaulted
and Insulted Davis and, despite the re-
sistance Of the Consul and his atten-
dant guards, rearrested Attarian and
took him back 10 prison.
Davis Immediately lowered the flag
over the Consulate and formally broke
on relations with the Turkish authori-
Ties by quitting Alexandretta. leaving
the consulate In charge of the Vice
Consul.
A mob Of MOslems seized on the oc-
casion 10 make a hostile demonstration
against the consulate and against
CHRISTIANS generally. The local author
tiles assert that Davis struck the no.
lice with a cane and that after fbe
rearrest Of Attarian the consular ga =
vases military cOuriers) ATTEMPTED to
rescue him. and that in the fracas
which ensued the cavasses broke the
windows OF the prison.
The Turkish authorities further claim
that Attarian. who is native Of Diar-
bekir, Asiatic Turkey, has been tray
cling about the country with an illegal
passport They also point out that the
question Of Armenians naturalized In
America returning TO Turkey has al
ways been a source Of trouble, since
the Porte invariably refuses to recog-
nize naturalization.
When Attarian was arrested s25O0
was found in his possession. This, II
IS believed, may have contributed to
HIS arrest, the Turks suspecting him OF
being a revolutionist.
The incident is engaging the energetic
attention Of the United States legation
here. Minister Leishman has made
urgent representations 70 the Porte and
is now awaiting a fun report before
taking further steps. The outrage, II
IS anticipated here, viii lead to strong
action on the part Of the United States
: 10 obtain fun reparation, especially as
fun satisfaction for the Beirut affair
has not yet been given.

STRIKERS ARM
FOR CONFLICT

TRINIDAD, Colo, Dec. Sword has
been received from Segundo tonight
that an attack on the new part of that
settlement is expected from the Italian
strikers in the old town and that a bat
tie may be looked for. Nearly every
man in New Segundo is armed and will
shoot at the first indication of an as
sault. All day the strikers are said to
have been drinking and making threats
that they would 'clean out" Segundo.
The situation in that camp is most Sc
rious. At all the camps and in Trini-
dad the Italians are worked up to a
pitch Of frenzy because Of the killing
Of striker and the wounding of three
others by guards in the battle last
nigh. near Segundo.
Sheriff Clark returned from Seguntlo
this afternoon and said that before
daylight two inches Of snow would fall
and obliterate the trail of the men who
ambushed Thomas Jennings and four
ron-union miners and prevent the
hounds from trailing them. One of the
men who is in jail. suspected of the
anbushing, has been identified as
Laure Menditti. Joseph velano is in
the hospital, expected to die any mo-
inent- large number of extra guards
have been posted at Segundo

TO SHUT OUT CoLoMBIANs.

If body of Colombian troops should
succeed in obtaining a foothold in the
rich Chiriqui district, it is generally
conceded that, after predatory raids on
the country side, they would retreat to
the mountain fastnesses from which
it would be most difficult to dislodge
them.
There is no doubt that the naval au-
thorities took into consideration the
moral effect on the Colombian Govern
ment of the establishment of a marine
camp at Empire.
The report of the movement of 5000
soldiers from Carta gena for the pur-
pose of invading the isthmus cannot be
confirmed. Rumors of such move
ments may be looked for, particularly
as the people of the isthmus are more
or less excited by the precautionary
measures adopted by the United
States. General Huertas is about to
establish a small garrison for the
troops Of the new Republic at Yavisa,
a town at the head of San Miguel Bay
on the Pacific side of the isthmus.

LOOKS TO MORAL EFFECT.
The actual purpose of the United
States Government in landing the ma
rines, however, is believed to be con-
nected with the precautionary meas
ures now being carried out on both
sides of the isthmus, and, per-
haps, also for the moral effect which
the landing Of the marines may have
on the native garrison at Panama, the
loyalty of which, though hitherto alb
solutely answering, has been ques-
toned in some quarters, especially
since the discovery of the plot against
the life of General Huertas, commander
in chief of the forces of the republic of
Panama, and the alleged effort on the
part of a few army officers to persuade
the garrison to revolt.
1t is considered significant that the
point selected for the encampment of
the Dixie's marines. while it is the
highest and best, SO far as sanitary
conditions are concerned, on the line
of the Panama Railroad, it is also on
the trail most frequently used in the
past for the movement of troops over
land from the Cauca district into the
Chiriqui district

PANAMA, Dec. s.-The gunboat Chi
quito has left for the Gulf Of Darien
and Chepo River, taking detachments
of troops. 1t is announced that the en-
trance TO the Atrate River at the head
of the Gulf of Darien is being closely
guarded, so that any attempts on the
part of the Colombian Government to
send troops through this river to the
isthmus will be ineffective.
COLON, Dec. S.-A company of ma
rines from the United states auxiliary
cruiser Dixie, under command of Cap
tain Writ McCreary, landed here this
morning and took a train for Empire,
a town on the railroad near Panama,
whefe a camp was established in the
canal compauy's buildings. Another
company of marines, to the number of
fifty, from the Dixie, left on the after
noon train for Empire.
The camp at Empire is now thorough
ly equipped and all precautions from a
sanitary standpoint to insure the health
of the marines have been taken. The
camp will be supplied with water from
the Dixie. pending the analysis of the
drinking water available there. If
this water should be found to be good
the remainder of the 450 marines on
hoard the Dixie will be transferred to
the camp in patches of fifty.
The stated official purpose of this
movement is to give the marines prac-
tice in the h1ildine of can1pS and to
