INSULT THE U. S.
Riotous cubans Besmear the Escutch-
con of the United States at
C~ienfueuos.

Havant, Feb. 3.-United States Min
lister SquireS has called the attention of
the Cuban government to h action of
rioters, at Cienfuegos, who, continuing
disturbances which broke out as a re-
suit of disputes over election registrars
on the previous day, yesterday vented
their i'll feelings by f1inging mud upon
the United States e~scutcheon hanging
over the entrance of the United States
consulate, practically covering the es-
cutcheon with mud and filth.
Squires today called on President
Palma and made representations to the
effect that Cienfuegos authorities
should not content themselves with
apologies, but should apprehend and
punish the perpetrators of the insult.
The president said he deeply regret
ted the incident and added that he
would issue directions that the culprits
be arrested and punished.
Although all other reports agree in
saying the situation at C~ienfuegos is
critical, those received by the govern
ment from the mayor of that place per-
sist in reiteration that the riotous do
ings of January IS were nothing beyond
a fight between drunken men, that no
shots We're fired and hat all is quiet

GEN. REYES MISTAKE.
United States Didn't Say Colombia
Might Land Troops, Except in
Canal Zone in Panama.

Washington, Feb. 2.-It is stated at

position of the authorities here If he.
as reported from Bogota, informed the
Colombian government that the United

when it was expressly stated that no
troops with hostile intent could be
landed in Panama. Since that date a
treaty has been negotiated between the
United States and Panama by which
the former guarantees the integrity of
the latter, and that treaty is now be-
tore the senate. A Colombian attack
would be regarded by this government

ference for three hours today on the
Bacon resolution ~instructing the presi-
aent to effect an adjustment of the
claims of Colombia against the United
States on account of the Panama re-
volt. Nc decision was reached and an.
other meeting will be held next week.

HATTIE PITCHER HAS

Her Prisoner.
MYSTERY STILL VERY DEEP

ret Out Mystery.

Miller, S. D., Feb. 1.-The hearing
of Hattie Pitcher ended last Friday in
her discharge from custody, on the
bur Quirk and attempting to rob the
Collins drug store on January II. The
justice held there was no evidence con-
Meeting her with this crime.
Charles Henshaw, proprietor of the
hotel where Miss Pitcher boarded,
swore yesterday afternoon that the
young lady was not in her room at his
house that night at l o'clock, though
she all along claims that she had been
shot there at 8 o'clock that evening,
drugged and left in her room till next
morning unconscious.
EX-Judge Pussy, her attorney, made
a most pathetic plea for the fair pris-
oner, saying he was helping without
hope of fee, because she was an orphan
and penniless. Many Of Miss Pitchers
old friends stood by her to the last. A
number OF witnesses testified to her
good character. States Attorney J. H.
Cole made a determined showing dur
ing the three days hearing. He was
ably assisted by Judge Briggs, but
about the same mystery surrounds the
shooting and the holdup as before. The
efforts to ferret out the perpetrators Of
the two crimes will be pushed until
something is known of them.
Miss Pitcher was not put on the witness
stand. a number of witnesses testified to
her good character up TO the time of her
arrest. Judge Pussy made a long, sym
pathetic plea for her, and many of her
old pioneer friends stood by her to the
last, believing in her, innocence. Her at"
torney declared he was fighting for her,
for friendship of the Pitcher family gen.
orally, without fear or reward, as the
girl is penniless and an orphan.
The girl has the sympathy of all. even
those who may believe her guilty, in that
she has been more sinned against than
shining.
The business men and others will try
to have the mystery ferreted out If pos
sible.

The Great Demand on tie Treasury
Has Exhausted the Supply.
Washington, Feb. 2.-For the first
lime in many years The treasury finds
itself without my gold DIN in its
vaults. 1t is explained that this con-
dition is the result of the unprecedent-
ed demand for gold certificates during
the time when the minis have been
fully employed in coming Philippine
silver and subsidiary silver for the
United States.
The increased demand for gold GER
~tificates, which could only be issued for
gold coin in the treasury, came about
through the needs of the larger bank
ing institutions in the great CONNER
cial centers, which had large amounts
of notes of small denominations on
hand, which they wished to have ex-
changed for gold certificates of large
denominations. Secretary Shaw has
given instructions for the mints at
Philadelphia and San Francisco to be-
gin the coinage of double eagles on
February 1, and to work overtime I'M
til a sufficient supply has been coined

New York, Feb. 2.-The New York
Commercial Advertiser announced this
afternoon that beginning February /,
it will be sold FOR l cent instead of 2
cents, and that the name will be
changed to the Globe and Commercial
Advertiser. The name Commercial Ad-
vertisor has been used 107 years. The
publishers announce that the name is
reluctantly subordinated because in
these days of trade journalism it is
misleading, to persons unfamiliar with
the scope of the paper. The short al
Tentative title is also intended to ac-
~commodate the newsboys who object To
using two long, cumbersome words.
This editorial statement is made:
The majority of people are inclined
to buy h lowest priced newspapers. a
fact of which the sensational press, es-
pecially in the evening field, has been
quicker to AXE advantage than that
part of the press which adheres to the
old standards of accuracy and intelli-
gence. The Commercial Advertiser pur-
poses now to make accessible to every

paper, which enterprising and fearless,
Is a the same time truthful, enlightened
