THE LAR"

We were seated near the forward
hold of one of the Panama Mexican
steamers, smoking in unison with the
heavy swells that rushed to the sandy
beach of San Jose de Guatemala. A
triangular I'm appeared on the surface
of the leaden water, acting as an APP
propriate wedge to open up a onver-
sation on sharks.
THAT brute is not so large by four
feet as the monster ] caught in Pa
mama Bay last trip" remarked the
Doctor, who was a disciple of the
famous old "Angler." The second
engineer lookedsideways in undis-
guised pity before remarking, why,
man, you should have seen old San
Jose Joe who inhabited these waters
years ago, He was the terror of ter
rors until the gnnboat Ranger sent
an explosive she'll into him some FIVE
years since. He measured nearly
thirty fect!' Silence followed. Then
the sunburned mate cooked his
weather eve TO the clouds, crossed
his legs, spit over the starboard rail-
ing. shifted his navy plug to the ). Z.
corner of his bareback mug, and
drawled; Well, those were fair
sized young sharks, but I recollect
one hat we captured in OF, W. were
swimming some beef cattle from the
beach to the steamer, when along
comes a FIN, looking like a black jib.
The brute swallowed three steers,
and finally ran foul of the anchor.
We turned on steam and brought him
10 the bow of the boat, when he
broke the chain, but not until we had
quickly measured his head. He was
twenty-eight feet between the eyes!'
Then eight bells sounded.

lealani's Claim.

Washington, Feb. 49, When the
senate met Mr.. Hoar made request
for the extension until Monday as the
time for motions to reconsider votes
which had been cast last Monday and.
no objection being entered, the order
was made. A few minutes later Mr.
Tillman, who voted against the Queen
Liliuokalani bill, entered the motion
to reconsider, saying that he did so be-
cause the friends of the bill consider
that SNAP judgment" had been taken.
The motion was not taken up for con-
sideration.
Z The senate then adopted without
objection resolution offered by Mr..
Morgan calling upon the president to
supply such information as he may
have relative to 'the present state of
organization of the government of the
republic of Panama, copy of the
constitution of said republic and to in
form the senate as to any ordinance
or other proceeding of the constitu-
tional convention recently in session
at Panama relating to the Hay-Varilla
treaty"
Mr.. Spooncr then spoke in support
OF the lsthmian canal treaty.

No Official Announcement Vet Made
at st. Petersburg.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 19.-No official
announcement OF the disaster off Che
mulpo, Korea, has yet been made here,
although the papers are printing sto-
ries of the loss of the Variag and Ko-
rietz. The st. Petersburg Gazette
asks:
what are we going to do with the
millions subscribed for the navy?" and
continues:
I'VE cannot patch up a useless gar
nent Let us start afresh. Let the
people decide how the money is to be
spent The ministries are too busy
to give the matter due attention"
Count Orlof Daykdoff, the philan-
thropist and close friend of the late
Gar Alexander I'LL, has given $500,000
to the Red Cross societyr$1 100000 for
the immediate use of the society, $780,
600 for a hospital for wounded sailors
and soldiers and 100000 for a school
for orphans of the war.
The Korean ministeA announces that
although $4,000 Korean troops are sta
toned about Seoul his government
preferred not to take up arms against
Japan because Korea is neutral and
felt sure Russia would soon drive out
the Japanese.

RESTRICTION OF WAR AREA.
Russia and Japan Will Agree to secre-
tary Hays Note.

tary Hays Note.
Washington, Feb. 19.-The state de-
partment has had an intimation that
the Russian reply to Secretary Hays
note relative to the naturalization of
China will be forthcoming in day or
two. Russians at first looked upon
this proposition as an act adverse to
their interests, but it is now stated
that they are entirely willing to ac-
cept. A condition, however, will be at
tached safeguarding the important in
terests that Russia has acquired in
Manchuria in connection with the ST.
herian railroad and it's branches and
the considerable ports and inland
towns that have been developed at
Russian expense in connection with
the railroad project. 1t is understood
that the validity of these interests will
be admitted by the cooperating pow
ers.
AS for Japan, while her acceptance
of Secretary Hays proposition also
was coupled with a condition, it is
admitted that this was nothing more
than requirement that Russia be
bound equally with Japan in the OBJ
servation of neutrality and restriction
of the war area.

United States Marines Landed in San
Domingo.
San Juan, P. R., Feb. IA private
message has been received from Santo
Domingo City, dated Feb. II, saying
that an American Warship bombarded
the insurgents at Pajarito, near Santo
Domingo, and then landed marines.
These men, however, subsequently re-
embarked.
Washington, Feb. 19.-No news has
been received at the state or navy de-
partments regarding the reported land
ing in San Domingo Of marines.
1t is the earnest wish Of the admin
istration that forcible Intervention in
San Domingo may be postponed until
after the ratification of the Panama
treaty. If the outrages upon American
interests continue; however, it will be
necessary to put in force at once the
drastic scheme of operations that has
been agreed upon.
The United States, it is emphat-
ically stated, does not want San Do
mingo as a gift or as purchase and
the officials do not propose to permit
the Morales government to force an.
nexation upon this country by eontin-
uing a scheme of attacks upon our In
terests. 1t will not surprise the Off
Gals to know that the reported attacks
of the Arevolutionists' have been in-
spired by the government.

gest that the olive branch, the hand Of

Revised Figures of the Loss by BaIti-

Baltimore, Feb. LIT has been
learned from an authoritative source
that the tax assessments on the realty
in the burned district were approx
mately between $20000,000 and $22,-
000,000 and that the assessments on
average stocks of goods consumed in
the fire were between $50,000,000 and
$55,000,000. AT this time of the year,
however, the stocks carried by mer-
chants were much heavier than the
average. AS the real estate was as
sessed at three-fourths of its value
these figures would indicate total
loss by reason of the fire of about $685.
100000, at the lowest figures.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 19-An official
proclamation explaining the unpre-
paredness of Russia for war and the
necessity for the exercise of patience
by her people has been issued here.
1t is as follows:
Eight days have now elapsed since
all Russia was shaken with profound
indignation against an enemy who
suddenly broke of negotiations and
by a treacnerous attack endeaVored
to obtain an easy success in a war
long desired. The Russian nation,
with natural impatience, desires
prompt vengeance and awaits fever
ishly news from the Far East.
'.ffhe unity and strength OF tae. Rus
sian people leave no room fos' doubt
that Japan will receive the chastise-
ment she deserves for her treachery
and provocation to war at q time when
our beloved sovereign desired to main
tain peace among the nations. sThe
conditions under which hostilities are
being carried on compel us to wait
with patience news of the
Success of Our Troops, .,
which cannot occur before decisive
actions are fought by the Russian
army. The distance of the territory
and the desire OF the emperor to main
tain. peace were the causes. of the, i'm
possibility Of more complete and
earlier preparations for war. Much
time is now necessary III order to
strike at Japan, bur is necessary for
the dignity anu might OF Russia thar
while spar.ng as much as possible the
shedding or blood Oh her children, TO
intilct Just thastisement upon the ma
tion which has provoked the struggle.
Russia must await the event in pa
tience, being sure that our army will
avenge an nundredfold that proyoca-
tion.
Operations on land must not be ex-
pected tor some time vet and we can
not obtain early news from the the
ater Of war. The useless shedding of
blood is unworthy the greatness and
power of Russia
