OF PERDICARIS
Admiral Chadwick, on Brook
 lyn, Arrives at Tangier.
RAISULIS CApTlVES IN GRAVE PERIL
Sultan's Representative Informs American and British Consuls He Cannot Grant Bandits Terms.
 Other Warshfrs Expected.

WASHINGTON, May 31-Mr. Gum mere, the United States consul at Tan gier. in a cabIegram received at the state department overnight says that threats against the lives of Raisuli's captives, Perdicarfs and Varley, have been made unless the bandits demands are granted.
 A Tangier report says:
 "The United States armored cruiser Brooklyn, flying the flag of Rear Ad- miral Chadwick, has arrived here. Other vessels of the United States squadron are following.
 'The authorities here consider that the position of the American, Ion Per- dicaris, and his stepson, Cromwell Varley, British subject, who were Kidnapped by bandits headed by Raj suli, is now more serious than before.
 ''The United States cruiser Atlanta arrived later and joined the Brooklyn. The American warships Olympia, Bal timore and Cleveland are expected shortly.
 Tt is the understanding here that the admiral commanding the American fleet has orders to exercise pressure upon the Moroccan authorities to in- duce them to accept Raisuli's terms. The sultan is willing to pay ransom and liberate RaisulPs partisans, who are now imprisoned, but Raisuli now asks American protection for the set clement This last condition is con- sidered dependent upon the American government.
 Rear Admiral Chadwick on arrival at Tangier, accompanied by an aid, the United States consul general and two marines, visited M Torres, the repre- sentative of the sultan at Tangier. The interview lasted ten minutes, after which M Torres returned the visit at the United States consulate, the Brook lyn firing salute in his honor.
 'M. Torres has informed the Ameri- can and the British representatives that he cannot grant Raisulfs terms. A special courier, 1t is reported, has been sent to the sultan conveying the American view"
 The question of landing marines will practically be left to the Judgment of Admiral Chadwick and Mir. Gummere.
 Should there be no indication within twenty -four hours after due notice has been served of the release of the pris- oners the United States government will not hesitate to land marines to as- sist soldiers the sultan of Morocco may call out for a show of force against the bandits

 MACON, Ga, May 31. = Governor Bliss and staff of Michigan, consisting of the monument commission and spe- ctal committees from the senate and house of that state, reached Macon last night on their return from Ander- sonviile, where they unveiled the Mich igan monument. The address of the day at the Andersonville memorial services was made by General J. H. Kidd and was delivered to an immense audience, including 5000 negroes. In conclusion he said:
 When the future Michael Angelo of the republic in the years to come, far from the passions and prejudices of the present, shall seek to embody in bronze or marble a presentment of the nobIest type of manhood that has been produced in this country or in any country, he will set up in the hall of fame a statue in which all the lines of beauty and of grace in the human figure will be perfectly represented, while it's idealized countenance will be illuminated with the majesty and the heroic grandeur of the character of the American volunteer. And there may 1t stand forever, unique and grand, perpetual reminder of all that is noblest and best in the long history of the achievements of men,"

Head Catarrh Cured.

Mir George Donovon, well-known andl popular employe of the Benedict & Burnham Go, who resides at SS South street, city, speaks ringing words of praise for the Radio-Chemic Physicians. He says T was pretty well discouraged when I consulted the Original X-Ray Doctors in the Com mercial Building. As long as can re- member I had been afflicted with noises in the ears, caused by head ca tarrh, which also ran into catarTh of the throat and stomach. This condi- tion had existed great number Of years, when my liver became disor- dered, through torpidity. had no am- bition to try to regain my health, for had tried everything heard of with out a cure. As a last resort, before giv- ing up hope, went to see the Radio Chemic Physicians, knowing they had cured great many people in this city and vicinity. They examined me and told me how to get well. I have taken q course of the Radio-Chemic treat mentt and am rejoiced at the result My stomach and liver are cured and my catarrh has disappeared. I recom- mend all sufferers with stomach diff culty or catarrh in any part of the body to go to the Radio-Chemic Physi. clans and be cured. (Signed)

It is astonishing to thinks that with ID zoO miles of railroads, telegraphs, canals, steamship lines, automobiles and organized politics there are people So benighted that they imagine a fleet Of log canoes can capture a steel war snip. says an exchange. Of course. the United States gunboat Bancroft is un- dersized and wouldn't be a moutbful for even a second rate cruiser. but that is no reason why the Carib Indians of San Bias should have thought her an easy mark. It appears that twenty canoes filled with Indians in war paint and "got up regardless" with bo vs and arrows, and the latest type of Queen Anne muskets, tried to "cut out the Bancroft one dark night not long ago, as she lay in Caledonia bay. The tale is as thrilling as some of the incidents in Charles Reade's story of Hard Cash" When the Bancroft cleared for action the Indians cleared out, but rot before the machine guns spat a few bullets their way without intending to hit anyone. These Indians live within the jurisdiction of Colombia, which is now threatening to whip the United States. Colombia can do nothing with them. They will not obey the law. if there is such thing in Colombia; they will not wash, or wear ready-made store clothes, Or have their pictures taken for the illustrated papers and magazines, or pay taxes, or vote. They are just as savage and cross-grained as their ancestors, who refused $50 years ago to be civilized by the tender moth ods of the Spanish inquisition. That is all because they have had the misfor- tune to live in Colombia. If they had had the good luck to be born under the Stars and Stripes they would now be owning suburban villas on reservations like the Cherokees and the Osages. drawing money and raions from the government and getting themselves re. ferred to in the Sunday newspapers as the richest people in the world. If you must be born an Indian be sure you are born in the right country.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: Samuel P. Avery. public benefactor,
for five decades. died at his home, No. 4
East 3Sth street. Thursday afternoon at 4
o'clock. in his eighty-third year.
Mr.. Avery came to the city last Saturday
from Lake Mohonk with niece to transact
some business. and proceeded to Atlantic
City, where he hoped the sea air would
benefit him. He became ill on reaching
his home and retired. From the time he
entered his bed he declined.
Mrs. Avery his widow, Is seriously Ill at
Lake Mohonk and will be unable to attend
survived by daughter. the wife of the
Rev. P. Welcher Of Brooklyn, and son,
Samuel Putnam Avery. jr.
Mr.. Avery was born in this city on March
II, 1922. His early services were in the
employ of a bank note company. where he
engraved on wood. This early education led
him to study of art. In 1855 his mechani-
cal training had resulted in the publication
OF several volumes of humorous nature
for which he supplied the illustrations him
self. The same year he became dealer in
art. His progress was so rapid that two
years later he was appointed commissioner
of art at the universal exhibition In Paris.
He then abandoned his engraving pursuits
and entered upon art enterprises, which
continued until 1888, when he retired.
One of Mr.. Avery's notable benefactions
was the gift to the New York Library of
more than seventeen thousand prints,
collection on which he spent thirty-two
years He contributed to the Avery Archi-
tecturaI Library at Columbia fifteen thous-
and volumes, In memory of his son, Henry

But while Mr. Stewart anxious to
secure the services of the consolidated

the authorities up to Emperor William
were favorably impressed with the idea.
when the plan came to the emperor him
self for approval. for some reason I'M
known to Mr.. Stewart. he said no. very
emphatically. When the kaiser says no
he means it. and Mr. Stewart then entered
into contract with Won Bions Band which
really ranks higher than any of Germany s
military bands. and whose conductor, Franz
Won Bion, Is the leading composer of bard
music and marches in the German empire.
In st. Petersburg Mr. Stewart lad less
difficulty in gaining the consent Of the
Russian government to enter lt.o contract
with the band of the Chevaler Guard. the
cars own regiment, than he experienced
anywhere else. The Russian government
sent him an invitation to hear the band.
and In every way made it easy for him to
secure it's services, but for the same reason
that Russia did not place exhibits at the
fair. she was compelled to abroSare the
contract at the last moment.
Took Time to Do It.
All told. Mr.. Stewart spent three months
in Europe. doubling on his trail as it wee.

and London where he had LETT off en- his
