SPEAKS PLAINLY
ABOUT SERVIA
Emperor Francis Joseph Says
Change of Dynasty Was
Brought About by a Crime
PROMISES FIRM POLICY
Speech at Reception of Austro-
Hungarian Delegation Is
FelicitOus and Encouraging

VIENNA, Dec. 16.-Emperor Francis
Joseph to-day received the Austro-
Hungarian delegation. The speech from
the throne was chiefly notable for its
stronger affirmation of the Emperors s
determination to maintain the drel-
bund.
by a renewal of the triple alliance"
he said, this well-proved basis of our
policy. which we have determined to
maintain henceforth, has been consoli-
dated for the future"
The speech referred to the death of
Pope Leo, to the gratifying foreign re-
lations of the dual monarchy and to the
close harmony between Austria and
Russia in regard to the Balkans with
the object of maintaining peace and
the status quo in those regions, in
which we are receiving the energetic
support of the other great powers"
The Emperor said Austria and Rus
sia had no selfish motives in the Bal
kans. and only have in view the estab-
lishment of peace in the interest of the
whole Of Europe, to which end Austria
Hungary was endeavoring to induce
Turkey to improve the position of the
Christians and to restrain Bulgaria
from encouraging revolt.
After mentioning the visit of my
dear ally" the German Emperor, the
Gar of Russia and the King of Eng
land, which gave the desired opportu-
nifty for a personal exchange of views
in regard to the Balkans and all other
questions at present engaging the
chancellories, the speech continued:
In Servia a change of dynasty has
been brought about by a crime which
must fill every civilized being with hor-
ror 1t is to be hoped that this coun-
try under it's new rule may be directed
toward it's moral regeneration and
prosperous future
The speech concluded with saying
that the War Office appropriation
would be the same as last year and
that it only asks for money to secure
new quick-firing guns, the work to be
commenced in 1904.

WASHINGTON, Dec 16-Brigadier
General George F. Elliott. commandant
Of the marine corps. may be ordered to
the isthmus to make a reconnaissance
Of the country and should the situa-
ton demand it TO assume command of
the marine forces there. The matter
has not yet been decided, but it was
said by a high official Of the Navy De-
partment to-day that the subject was
receiving serious consideration. If Gen
eral Elliott is ordered TO the isthmus he
probably viii go south on the Dixie,
which viii sail from Colon tomorrow
for Philadelphia to bring back the new
battalion Of marines. which is to be
known as the Caribbean Sea division.
The decision to send General Elliott
will depend largely upon whether he
can be spared here at this time.
At the instance Of Secretary Moody,
General Elliott has issued orders for
the formation of the Caribbean Sea
battalion. This battalion Will be regu-
larly attached TO the Caribbean Sea
Squadron. though its immediate des-
tination is Colon. It viii be assembled
at Philadelphia as rapidly as possible.
That the proper courtesy may not be
lacking. either to Minister Beaupre or
to the Colombian Government, il is ex-
pected at the Navy Department that
Rear Admiral Coghlan will proceed TO
Cartagena in command Of a small
squadron to convey the Minister to
Colon, whence he viii sail for the
United States.
1t was said at the Navy Department
that the question of placing a warship
at the disposal Of General Rafael
Reyes, the Colombian Special Envoy. to
convey him home when he shall have
completed his mission had not yet been
taken up by the State or Navy de-
partments The Navy Department is
prepared to respond promptly in case
the State Department decides to offer
General Reyes this courtesy.
The cruiser Olympia, which has un-
dergone repairs at the Norfolk Navy
Yard, will sail tomorrow for Colon for
service as the flagship of Rear Admiral
Coghlan, commanding the Caribbean
squadron. 1t is probable that the May
flower, now serving as flagship. will
come to Washington on being relieved
by the Olympia at Colon.

Andrew Carnegie Makes a Startling
Prediction I'm Address Before
Armstrong Association.


NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-At a meeting
here to-day of the Armstrong Associa-
ton Andrew Carnegie surprised his
hearers by asserting that he believed
Great Britain would surely some day
lose South Africa he said:
1T is about as certain as we are liv-
ing that Great Britain will lose South
Africa, because the Dutch population
there is increasing, while the British
are not. The Ksfirs won't work. What
would Great Britain give for 9.OOO,O 600
negroes as peaceable and as loving as
those in this country? These men give
us about II, OOO 900 bales of cotton every
year, and this 1 contend helps make
the United States the most powerful
nation in the world Suppose a feet of
British warships should attack US The
President. as commander in chief Of the
army and navy, need only raise his
hand and say, stop exporting cotton,
and the war would be won.
My knowledge of the question leads
me to the opinion that no political
measure can ever save or benefit the
negro. The Hampton Institute shows
the only useful solution"
