Out RevOIutiOmists.
San Domingo. Sunday, Jan. 3.-The
gunboat Independence arrived here

can schConers in tow. The schooners

tended for coast defense.
The Independence bombarded the

HANG FIRE
rss1AN ANSWER HAS REACHED
THE JAPANESE.
NAUGHT IS LEARNED OF 1T.
.,p,oMATs GUARD ITS NATURE
VERY CLOSELY.

..,,tng Hns Developed in the Far
,a.+ern situatiOn-A Meeting of
the Japanese Cabinet and One of
a.. british Cabinet to be Held.
uritish Press Declares That Great
uritain Cannot Permit Japan to
n crushed-News of the East.
1ordon Jan. There are two in
actions this morning that nothing
sos developed in the Far Eastern
.riss and nothing is likely to develop
will the end of the week.
The first of these indications, ac-
oording to the Toxic correspondent of
tho Daily Telegraph, is that an ur-
aercv meeting of the Japanese cabi-
no+ has been called for to-day and the
.ooond is that the members of the
british cabinet have been notified to
assemble on Saturday.
The Japanese cabinet meeting has
almost certainly been called for the
rnrnose of considering the reply of
Pussia to the last Japanese note, and
# is equally certain that the meet
ing Of the British cabinet will be for
the purpose of discussing the atti-
tude of Great Britain in the light of
the Russian reply.
This question is beginning to be most
anxiously discussed by the British
press.
Editorials in this mornings papers
are almost unanimous in admitting
that even if the war should be con-
fined to Russia and Japan, Great Brit
ain cannot possibly see Japan crush
ed. and that although not called upon
to interfere by the terms of the An
gle-Japanese treaty, and that while
hostilities may be confined to the two
nations, yet in the event of Japan
suffering a great naval defeat Great
Britain would be almost compelled to
go to her assistance.

CANAL TREATY CAME UP
Before the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations to-
day began consideration of the Pam
anna canal treaty. The time was occu-
pied principally by Senator Morgan in
discussion of the last clause of Ar
ticle % Of the treaty relating to the
concessionary contract with Lucien N.
B. Wyse, now owned by the new Pan
anna Canal Company, and which un-
der the treaty gives absolute title to
the United States so far as the repub-
lie of Panama is concerned.
Senator Morgan attacked the right
of Panama to surrender title.
When the treaty was called up Sem
ator Morgan requested that consider
alton be postponed for one week in or
der to give him an opportunity to pre-
pare his objections. Republican MEM
bers of the committee opposed this
motion, and it was rejected. All of
the Democratic members of the COM
mittee, except Senator McCreary, sup
ported Senator Morgan.

WOODS SILVER SERVICE
Passed Through Custom House
without Paying Duty.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The Associated
Press has secured a copy of the testi-
mony given by Brig. Gen. Tasker H.
Bliss, U. S. A., when he was recalled
before the Senate Committee on Mill
tary Affairs to give evidence in the
Wood investigation concerning the adj
mission of the Jai Alai gift free of
duty, about which a controversy has
arisen.
Gen. Bliss was recalled at the re-
quest of Senator Hanna, who asked
whether the silver service given to
Gen. Wood in 1902 at the time of its
passage through the Custom House,
was the property of an officer of the
United States army. Gen. Bliss an
swered that he so understood it. A re-
quest had been made that the pack
age should be FASTENED in it's passage
through the Custom House.
Senator Hanna inquired from whom
the information came and was told by
Gen. Bliss that it came by telephone
from the clerks office at the palace of
the governor general. Gen. Bliss said
when he learned that package would
be received for the military governor
he had given orders to facilitate its
passage through the Custom House.
Senator Foraker asked if Gen. Wood
had anything to do with the order.
The witness replied:

STORY OF THE WRECK
Told by a Newspaper Man Who Was
Among the Injured.
1ooA


Among the Injured.
Copyrighted, 1904, by the Topeka State
Journal.)
Topeka, Kan, Jan. Oh. G. Parsons,
a reporter of the Topeka State Journal,
who was on the wrecked Rock Island
train. arrived in Topeka this morning,
after driving overland from the scene
of the collision. Parsons escaped with
Slight injuries, while two persons on
the seat in front of him were killed.
Parsons tells the following story of the
wreck:
ut was in the third car of the pas
senger train, the first coach having
been preceded by smoker and bag
gage car, that the greatest loss of life
occurred. The smoker. which was oc-
cupied by only two or three men, was
overturned and pushed through the car
behind it, which was crowded with pas
sengers, some standing in the aisle.
THE first warning given the passen-
gers in this car was when the sudden
settling of the air brakes shut off the
y
ment later mass of splintered wood
and iron was crowded down upon them.
No one was thrown out of his seat by
the blow. Most of those in the for
ward end of the car were killed in
stantly. Thirty in the rear end of the
coach, however. succeeded in escaping
from that end of the car, which was
still unobstructed.
mo one in the front half of the car
escaped. They were crushed down be-
tween the seats by the smoker. When
rescue was finally possible only three
living persons were taken out by the
rescuers, who were compelled to chop
holes in the side and through the floor
and top of the coach to reach them.
Were Narrowing scenes.
THE three rescued from this portion
were man, a small girl and middle
aged woman, who were moaning and

the rear door within five minutes after
the collision, but died almost as soon

A woman died two hours later while
trying to tell a physician her name. A
dozen men had worked on the place
where she seemed to be before she was
extricated.
Bonnie Martin, a girl IL years of
age, was pinned down between two
cars, the heavy stove resting on one
foot. Her cries attracted the rescu-
ers, and men, many of them bleeding
from wounds about the face and arms,
worked heroically to get her out. 1t

JAP GIVES STATUS
OF THE SITUATION.
Stages of Negotiations and PrOpO-
sails That Were Made.


Toxic, Jan. "a high Japanese au-
thority to-day made the following ex-
planation of the status of the Far
Eastern question:
The statement that Russia has
made concessions to Japan is not ex-
act. On the contrary, Russia, in the
month Of October, made certain con-
cessions, which were accepted by ia
pan, subsequently withdrew them and
assumed an attitude, which left the
Japanese little hope in the way of
reaching satisfactory agreement.
The Japanese government, confident
III the declarations of disinterested-
ness in Manchuria made by Russia,
and recognizing Russia's special in
.efests in that region, wished to reg
uate once for all. all questions in
me Far East, in the interest of flu
.ure peace and tranquility. To this
posals:
"First-Russia and Japan should
mutually respect the independence and
COrea.
7. Second-To recognize reciprocally-
span the special interests of Rus

ro.ucple of equality of treatment the

stons and submitted a counter propo-
