MOSQUITO War.
Residents of Staten Island Hold
a Meeting
To Devise Ways and Means of
determination.
MOSQUITOES HEARD IT.
Swooped Down on AssembIage
and Broke 1t Up.
Delegates Dispersed Without
Taking Any Action.

New York. JULY 23.-There has been
an Indignation meeting of mosquitoes on
Staten Island. This was apparent when
an army of the pestiferous insects in
vaded Stapleton village hall where a
solemn conference was being held with
a view to ridding the island forever of
the anopheles family. The han was
jammed with delegates representing the
various towns.
After several speeches and displays of
maps. it was decided to drain the whole
of Staten Island and not to leave as
much as tomato can full of stagnant
breeding water. A committee of public
safety also was decided upon. Then the
mosquitoes appeared upon the scene
and the delegates were kept busy beating
them off. 1t is even asserted that the
meeting. which was cut short, adjourn
ed before the committeeman on public
safety had been chosen.

MEETING OF THE CARDINALS.
Rome. July 23.-At this mornings
meeting of the congregation of cardinals
committee consisting of Cardinals
Casali Macchi and Della Volpe was ap-
pointed to supervise all the arrange
ments in connection with the conclave.
Two doctors, Lapponi and PelagallO, a
surgeon, Professor Cagiati and drug

Finally, the cardinals appointed
committee to receive the case containing
the papal treasure from the congrega-
tion Of briefs. whose work is suspended
until new pope is elected. and to re-

chancellery
HOW NEWS AGENCIES WE'RE
"SCOOPED."
Paris, July 23.-This mornings Figaro
says 1t is a curious fact that it was
from New York that the news of the
soon as ne was informed of the death of
the pope the correspondent of the AssO-
ciated Press al Rome cabled New York
by all of the various routes. One of
these messages was sent by the French
Gable company from Brest to New York
and arrived at its destination in a few
seconds, in spite of the crowded cOndi-
ton of all the lines starting at Rome
and ending at New York. The New
York Office of the Associated Press in
its turn cabled the news to the Reuter-
Agency in London. which had not yet
heard of it. although there exists a di-
rect wire from Rome to London. The
satisfaction of the Associated Press can
be conceived We understand it has
cabled it's congratulations and thanks
to NJ. Berard the under secretary of
state for posts and telegraphs of France,
and to the French Gable company.
PRECEDENT is LACKING.
London, July 23.-The first mention of
the pope's death occurred this afternoon
when William Redmon. Irish National
ist. asked if the flag on the Victoria
tower, Westminster. and those on the
public buildings would be half masted
out of respect to the late pope. Victor
Cavendish. treasurer of the household,
replying for the government said there
was no precedent but the question of
ordering the half masting of the flags
on public buildings was now under con-
Sideration.

STANDS ON THE RECORD
The Government Will Hold
China to Her Promise.

Washington. July 23.-The state de-
partment has heard nothing recently
from Mr.. Conger respecting the Man
churian negotiations so it is suggested
that the Pekin report to the effect that
the Chinese government, through Prince
Ching has declined to open any Man
churian ports. refers to a phase of the
negotiations dating about two weeks
back. The reason for this suggestion is
a knowledge on the part of the officials
here that before Secretary Hays depar-
ture for his summer home the Chinese
government actually did pledge itself to
open two or more ports in Manchuria.
If however there has been any change
in the Chinese attitude since this pledge
was given it is said here that the Uni
ted States government will not be
moved thereby, but holding fast to the
pledges already given, will insist ON
their redemption.

the naval brigade in Phoenix Park.
The weather was most favorable, bright
sunshine permitting the wearing of
summer costumes and the consequent
color effect. When the ground was
packed by tens of thousands of specta-

scene of the many witnessed since their
majesties arrival in Dublin. 1t was the
largest muster of troops ever seen at a
review in Ireland. The Duke of Con-
naught was in command.
The king, who wore the uniform of a

lieutenant. the Earl of Dudley, and a
numerous suite.
Prior to leaving the vice regal lodge
his majesty presented colors to the

dad Bolivar was captured at IL O'Clock
last night. after 50 hours of a desperate
struggle and horrible carnage. during
which great courage was shown on
both sides. The Jail and the capitol
were the centers of the most severe

were captured only a few blocks behind
the capitol remained to be taken At
midnight the fusillade ceased and the
silence of death reigned all the rest of

At five in the morning the correspon-

General Rivas, the commander of the

Gomez, the Venezuelan commander-in-
chief, near the capitol and confirmed
the announcement that the capitol, the
jail and all the rest of the city were in
the hands of the government soldiers.
General Gomez informed the correspon-

FIND A TREASURE.
Southern Negroes Locate a
Cannon Full of Money.

Lafayette. La, July 23.-Two negroes
appeared at the bank of Lafayette to-
day and attempted to negotiate a large
quantity of Spanish gold and silver
coin, recently found by them at the
mouth of the VermiliOn river The
negroes gave a minute account of the
treasure, and while at first President
Girard considered the matter a hoax,
close questioning only confirmed the
apparent truthfulness of the story,
which, if verified, will prove beyond
doubt one of the richest and most re-
marka BILE finds of treasure made in this
country.
The negroes say. few days ago while
fishing in Vermilion bay, they found, in
an inlet, 6 feet deep, an immense, old
fashioned cannon, filled with gold and
silver coin. They refused to tell the ex-
act location. One of the negroes esti-
mates the value of the coin, which COM
pletely filled the cannon at 100000. AS
the negroes failed to produce any coin,
Mr.. Girard would not negotiate, but
advised them to bring some of the
money to the bank and submit 1t TO
test This they promised to do and left
without giving further Information.
The story reviVeS the tradition OF
Lafitte and his famous band OF corsalrs
plundering Spanish treasure ships IN
the gulf and hiding the booty along the
coast, or, possibly, hOtly chased by war
ships pitching the cannon oVerDoard III
some obscure nook for future recovery
Hundreds of people throughout south
Louisiana believe that hidden treasure
may be found on the coast, and even IN
the interior. Excavations attest the con-
viction of many that great wealth mas
been stored away BY the famous olu
sea robbers, and only awaits some
lucky finder The negroes find, II true,

Stealing.

was filed today against E. J. Arnold,
head Of a turf investment company that
failed several months ago, and this was
followed by the dismissal of the seven
charges against him of embezzlement.
The new information charges grand
larceny and is based on the complaint
of Mrs William Sievers, who alleged
that $400 placed in Arnold's hands for
investment was never returned. The
new information is similar to that filed
in the J. J. Ryan case after Ryan had
been acquitted on the original charges
