niece, and Elmer Dover. his secretary,
are permitted to see him aside from
the doctors and two trained nurses.
President Roosevelt called at the
Arlington hotel during the day to in
quire about Senator Hanna's condi-
tion. He saw Mr.. Dover. with whom
he conversed for ten minutes about
the sick man.

family physician, DR.. Magruder, DR..
Brewer from New York, DR.. Behrend,

WILD PANIC IN NEW ORLEANS
TRADERS AND BROKERS BECOME
CRAZY IN THEIR EFFORTS
TO SELL.

New York, Feb. 6.-Wildest excite
ment prevailed on the floor of the cot
ton exchange during the last fifteen
minutes Of trading, caused by the
sharpest break since the recent sky.
rocket trading began. Under good
flow. of selling orders, which all but
swamped traders, prices went all to
pieces, the losses exceeding o hundred
points.
Coming as 1t did after the market
had recovered somewhat from, the
sharp break in the morning, tho t,ad-
ers were thrown into panic by the
sudden downward movement, and tn.
pit was surrounded by bowling mob
of men, who roughly jostled one an
other in their eagerness to exec ate
commissions.
In all the wi!dness of the scene one
man appeared calm and even indif.
ferent. He was Daniel ). Sulley. who
has been foremost in the recent sen.
sational movements on both the cotton
and copper exchanges. It had been re.
ported that Mr.. Sully had done some
buying earlier in the day, when prices
seemed to be at the bottom, but if the
slump caught him he showed
No Evidence OF It.
While prices were falling as if the
bottom would never be reached, it Is
doubtful If Mr.. Sully or any one else
could have checked the movement.
Venturesome persons, believing the
bulls were about to push prices to-
make good If possible, their boast OF
20-cent cotton, had their margins
wiped out like slate marks under a
wet sponge, and many brokerage
houses were hard hit. being unable to
escape loss on closing out accounts.
Rumors that some were in financial
trouble were circulated after tho close
Of the market, but no failures were re.
ported.
The sensational break followed the
publication Of dispatches announcing
that negotiations had been broken of
between Japan and Russia. Up to that
time the market seemed to be recover
ing. At the close Of the market there
was tremendous scene, and brokers

future trading in New Orleans occur
red yesterday, where on vague war
rumors prices were sent down until
they were from 166 to 1S0 points lower

was 50 bale cheaper.
Soon after the noon hour, and while
many brokers were at lunch, tele.
gram was received from Chicago by a
firm saying that cables had been re-
ceived there telling of the declaration
Of war between Japan and Russia.
Values, commenced to, slide swiftly
downward, and in five minutes time
the ring was in a ranic. Traders and
brokers who few minutes before ap-
peared to be the sanest and calmest Of
men, suddenly became crazy in their
efforts to sell either own or their GUS
toners cotton. This mad scene lasted
until we'll toward the close of the
market, when the ring finally had q
sold-out appearance.

y > ". y j r.
San Domingo. Feb. Z. - The insur-
gents deliberately fired on the launch
of the auxiliary cruiser Yankee, kill
ing. j. C. Johnston. the engineer. The
bullet entered his head above theseye.
United States Minister Powell has
directed the captain of the Yankee to
take drastic measures to avenge john
ston's death. and this insult to the
American flag Johnston was buried
on shore.
The body was escorted to its grave
in the Santa Barbara cemetery by q
detachment OF marines, bluejackets
and officers from the Yankee, headed
by the ships band. United States
Minister Powell, the American con-
sul and the vice consul and nearly oil
the diplomatic and consular repre-
sentatives, went to the funeral. The,
provisional government sent de-
tnchment OF troops to act as an escort.
The fags over the governmental
buildings ana the various consulates
were at half-mast.
Great surprise is expressed by all
foreigners, and especially by Ameri-
cans, that the commander OF the
Yankee has. not demanded immediate
satisfaction for this act and for the
firing on the American flag by insur-
gents.
Powell Protects German Consul.
The German. consul has requested
United States Minister Powell to af-
ford protection to Herr Woman, Ger
man vice consul. that he may bring
his family into the city, as the in:
surgents have given Herr Wormaa
forty-eight hours to leave his present
station OF suffer the consequences.
Consequently Mr.. Powell secured q
guard of sixty men from the United
States cruiser Columbia and informed
the. government that it was the inten-
tion Of the German consul and himself
to bring Herr Worman's family into
the city, and asked the government
that it's troops refrain from firing on
this party while it was on its mission.
He said that ii fred on, this party
would protect itself. The guard start.
ed out. AS soon as they passed out
side the city they
Were Covered by the Guns
of the Columbia. No attack was made
apd the Worman family and their be-
longings were brought back here
safely.
All the houses outside the city walls
have been pil!aged. The insurgents
are desperate and are destroying for
eign property wherever they find it..
Mr.. Powell has received urgent ap-
peals to protect foreign property
against pillaging, aud the Columbia
may be compelled to land marines.
Firing around the city continues.
The situation is serious, the prices Of
provisions are exceedingly high and
the poor are suffering for want of
food.
This city is surrounded by insur-
gents. They have sent to the govern
ment a demand that the city sur
render within twen.y-four hours,
threatening otherwise to try to enter
by force. The government has made
no reply to this den,snd, and an at
tack is expected. The Notifications
are strongly guarded and preparations
are making to resist the insurgents.
