And So Far Have Declined TO Waive
the strict Interpretation of
the Protocol.
ACTION VIEWED as SINISTER
UNITED STATES THE ONLY NATION
WILLING TO BE MERCIFUL.
Fear Expressed that Territory May Be
Seixed-China Anxious for Arbi-
tratfon at The Hague.

PEKING, Jan. 3.-The signatories of the
Chinese peace protocol. except the Ameri-
cans. have consulted their respective gov
ernments and practically have decided to
identically notify China that her failure
TO fulfill the obligations provided for by the
protocol will entail grave consequences. A
strong sentiment exists in favor of a COM
promise If China viii admit the protocol
demands the payment of the indemnity on
a gold basis and confine her arguments TO
the hardships resulting from the increase
Of the debt oy nearly 20 per cent since the
signing CT the protocol through the depre-
ciation In the value of silver and the prob
able further increase from the expected
adoption OF the gold standard in the Philip
pines and in the Straits Settlements. But
the powers refuse to waive the plain in
terpretation Of the protocol. The danger
exists that IL China maintains her position
some OF the powers may demand territory
or concessions for compensation.
The last of the German troops which be-
1onged to the garrison at Shanghai left
there to-day, mostly for home. The evacu-
alton OF this port thus is completed.

PREFER SAVINGS BANKS
HOMESTEAD STEEL WORKERS DO
NOT WANT CORPORATION STOCK.
Say the ProAt-Sharing Scheme Will
Only Benefit Superintendents Who
Receive Large Salaries.

PITTSBURG. Pa, Jan. 3.-Employes of
the big Homestead plant of the United
States Steel Corporation interviewed as
to the scheme of the concern to share it's
profits with it's employees, expressed them
selves as decidedly opposed to the PROPOSE
ton. The Homestead works employs about
1000 men who are entitled to the profit
sharing. OF score of these workmen
who would be interviewed not one of them
favored the move, but each condemned it..
One of their reasons is that under the
proposition submitted, the amount of stock
that the majority of the workmen can
buy is limited to a few shares. For in
stance. according to the circular a $1,000
employe can subscribe for but $50 worth
of stock, and SO on. The workmen claim
that only the department and general su-
perintendents, who draw large salaries, will
be able to purchase enough stock to make
an investment worth the while.
Another objection raised is that stock
will not be delivered to the employees for
five years, and that if the workman leaves
the services of the corporation before that
time he loses his stock, though he can get
per cent from bank for his savings,
and get them out when he likes. C. o.
Poster, who draws salary of 81, 200, took
this view of the case, as did also Edward
Cox, employed for twelve years at Home
stead.

QUIET FINALLY RESTORED
WHEN 1T WAS LEARNED THE TOWN

Explanation Given that the Move Was
Merely for the Purpose OF Making
the Blockade More Effective.

LAGUAYRA, Jan. 3.-The Germans sud-
denly landed a force of marines at Puerto
Cabello this morning and took possession
OF the custom house and wharves before
resistance could be offered. The excite
ment Of the inhabitants was intense and
they prepared TO defend the rest of the
town. Streets already had been barricaded
when ii was announced that the landing OF
the Germans was only a move taken in or
der to clear the port of small craft and
render the blockade more effective. This
had a calming effect on the people, who at
first believed that the allies intended to oc-
cupy all the custom houses in the country.
All the vessels in the inner harbor were
seized and taken outside

MUST GO TO THE COURTS
GOV. TAFT WILL NOT INTERFERE IN
CATHOLIC DISPUTE.
Fight Between independents" and
"Romans" for Possession of
Churches I'm the Philippines.

MANILA, Jan. 3.-Solicitor General Aran-
eta, in a written opinion, sustains Gov
ernor Taft's contention that he is not in a
position to intervene regarding the posses
sion of Roman Catholic property seized by
independent Catholics and that the courts
must settle the question. The adhcrents
of the independent Catholic Church have
seized several churches and converts. and
in some instances native parish priests have
seeded, continuing in possession of the
churches, and have defied the new pastors
appointed by the Roman Catholic authori-
ties. Archbishop Guidi, the papal delegate.
has formally requested Governor Taft to
dispossess the independent Catholics and
restore the Roman Catholics and to use
the constabulary in so doing il necessary.
But the Governor has declined to do so.
holding that such action is beyond the
powers of the executive He also advised
an appeal to the courts and cabled the
him. Attorney General Wiley concurs in
Solicitor General Araneta's opinion, which
Governor Taft will forward to Archbishop
Guidi. 1t is expected that the latter will
institute proceedings to oust the independ-
ent Catholics, who claim that much of
the church property belongs to the people.
1t is not thought that the incident will
affect the friar lands negotiations proceed

MAYOR UNDER ARREST
MANUEL EGOZCUE, OF SAN JUAN, SAID
TO BE AN EMBEzzLER.
His PeculatiOns Alleged to be Exten-
sive-RecOrds Of City Water Re-
cefpts Destroyed.

SAN JUAN. Porto Rico. Jan. 3-Mayor
Manuel Egozcue has been arrested and is
held in 5000 bail on the charge, made
by Insular Official Inspector Hoist. of de-
stroying the records of the city water re-
ceipts. which constituted the only evidence
of alleged extensive peculations and en-
bezzlement.
The allegations against the mayor were
originally made last October in petition
of citizens which was presented to the
Governor and which asked for the prosecu-
tion of the mayor. The editor of the News,
which published the text of the petition,
was arrested on Oct. % on the complaint
OF the mayor, on a charge of libel. This
arrest caused considerable excitement,
which ended in the shooting of two men.
Since then three other officials have been
arrested and are being prosecuted for al
legged shortages in their accounts and for
embezzlements. The peculations are said
to range from $s.coO to $4,000. and misap-
propriations of other funds are also al
legged.
The arrest of the mayor to-day led to
great excitement. Mobs congregated in
the plaza and streets and surrounded the
office of Lawyer Acuna, who has under
taken the defense of a former city official
named Rivera, who turned states evidence.

a SINISTER MOVE.
How the Matter Is Viewed by officials
at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The State De-
partment has received confirmatory ad-
yfes from Peking of the declination of the
,<S@ves<to rccslyes their second Indemnity
installmea,s on the silver basis. 1t Is not
understood that the declination was accom-
panied by threat, but the action itself is
regarded as sinister. If. as has been sug-
gested. II is not taken with view TO MAX
ing a record OF the position of the powers
fn this matter. The situation is regarded
here as warranting some concern, though
unless the Washington government wants
TO utterly discredit every statement of the
powers in the past two years whenever
up it cannot believe there is an intention
20 proceed to extremes.
II is again suggested that the time is ripe
for a reference OF this important issue to
The Hague tribunal. a consummation de-
voutly wished for by China and a course
which has commended itself to the Wash
ington government. The United States,
which is interested equally with the other
powers in getting as much money as it can
in The shape of indemnity, still feels bound
by moral law to support the Chinese con-
tention for the silver basis, looking not
only upon the language of the protocol
and the Peking treaty itself, but also hav-
Ing a solicitous regard for China's integ-
xisy and perpetuity a nation. The other
powers are united In demanding a settle
ment on the gold basis This is issue
which, In the minds Of the officials here, is
eminently adapted to the methods of ar
bitration. So far China alone has suggest
ed reference to The Hague tribunal, but
It is possible and even probable that If the
powers are going to extremes the United
States government will seem bound to dis
charge it's duty under Article q of The
Hague tribunal and point the way to ar
bitration-

PLAGUE LESS vIRULENT.
Hardly Half the People Attacked at
MaxatIan Are Now Dying.

MAZATLAN, Mex, Jan. 3.-There is some
abatement in the virulence of the plague.
and hardly half Of the people attacked are
dying. There were seven deaths to-day.
The people still continue TO flee from the
city and this may spread the disease in
neighboring towns where the refugees have
found new homes For the present physi-
clans say 1t Is not safe to rely on any
temporary diminution in the violence of the
disease, epidemics vary from day TO day
and are influenced largely by weather. So
many of the police have been taken i'll that
the prisoners in the town jail have been
confined to the care of the soldiers of the
Eleventh battalion. The poor people are
averse TO making known cases of plague,
and the authorities found in the kitchen OF
one house the body of a man who had died
of the plague buried under the floor. The
authorities urge the people not to conceal
cases of Illness.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3-The Herald says
that under charges based a violation OF
the neutrality laws, and with the alleged
responsibility of having given information
to the blockading force which led to the
capture Of the Venezuelan gunboat Miranda
at Maracaibo on Dec. 20 Captain Terrill, on
the steamship Zulia, Of the Red d line. has
been suspended from duty. 1t is alleged
that Captain Terrill had arranged with the
officers of German warship blockading
Maracaibo that If when passing out OF the
harbor during the daytime the Zulia dipped
her ensign twice, il was understood this
would be a signal to the warships block
aiding the port that Venezuelan gunboat
was inside. Should the Zulia pass out after
sundown it was agreed that the stern light
was to be dipped twice.
The Zulia remained at Maracaibo from
Dec. II until Dec. %, when she steamed
out, reaching the blockade line shortly
after sundown. The German gunboat
Panther about abreast of the Zulfa-
when Captain Terrill, II is alleged, called
his second officer and instructed him TO
lower the stern light twice. The captain
declares the assertion is false.
