BRAZIL WON'T ALLOW
AMMUNITION ON AMAZON

Brazil has made Il clear that the part
OF the Amazon controlled by the Brazil
fan government is not 10 be used for the
the shipment Of arms into Peru. The
seizure OF arms bound for Peru inspired
the following statement which the Bra
lillian foreign Office has sent TO the lega-
tion of that government IN this city:
THE Brazilian government has pro-
hibited the transit OF arms and Gmmuni-
ton for Peru through the Brazilian part
Of the Amazon. The navigation OF the
Amazon was opened 10 all friendly ma
lions by Brazil in the year 1856. and,
under the treaty Of commerce and navi-
cation with Peru. OF October 10. 1891
certain facilities were granted her for
the transit OF various kinds OF merchan-
disc. But IL is understood that these
facilities only refer 10 innocent transit
and in no way 10 that Of elements OF
aggression against Brazil and her cfti-
zens. In this case, the conventional
right OF transit, which Peru might claim
for other purposes, enters into conflict
with the natural and absolute right of
Brazil TO prevent and impede future
aggressions-

SECRETARY TAFT THERE
Dog Eating IgOrroteS and
Savage Moros Take Sec
Ond Place as Attractions
BY PAUL EDWARDS.

CALL BUREAU, PRESS BUILD
ING, WORLDS FAIR, st. Louis, Aug.
21.-Philippine day was one of the big
gest events at the fair and the dog
eating Igorrotes, the savage Moros and
the midgets weren't on top Of the foot
lights. AS a counter attraction, for this
day only, the presence of Admiral
Dewey, Secretary of War Taft, Lieu
tenant General Merritt, Generals Funs-
ton, King. Chaffee and other notables
was advertised. AS a consequence, men
who cut a figure in the financial and
commercial world-men who build rail-
roads and lay out cities and develop
country's resources-visited the reser-
walton.
OF all the galaxy of notables adver-
tised only Secretary of War Taft and
General Merritt appeared, but the men
of money and commercial standing,
who had been attracted by the an
nouncement of the list of distinguished
visitors, didn't allow the absence of
few of the notables to prevent them
going through the exhibit buildings
and viewing the wonderful evidences
of rich resources there displayed.
They were surprised, and still more
so when they met some of the cultured
F1DplnOS, VINO were present dS lHS
higher class representatives of their
country. These business men had never
believed there was anything to see in
the Philippine exhibit but lot of bam-
boo corraIs containing stupid looking
savages feasting on dogmeat, and they
had never cared to witness the eating
of dog, as they lived either at reSpec-
table clubs or comfortable homes, and
could scarcey bear the sight of hu-
man beings devouring such food. What
they saw in the exhibit buildings will
not soon leave their minds. They saw
there those things which mean a field
for capital-alWays looking for prof1ta-
BILE investment-and the probabilities
of drawing dividends from Philippine
| investments will be the subject of
many a conversation at club and Of

STAY IN PORT
WILL Be BRIEF
Flagship New York, the Ben
ningtOn and Marblehead
Are All Due Here To-Day
SOON TO START SOUTH
Admiral Goodrich Will
Transfer Headquarters to
the Chicago at Valparaiso

The flagship New York, with Admiral
Goodrich on board, the cruiser Marble
head and the gunboat Bennington are
due to-day from the north. They have
been away from here for months and,
as the orders from the Navy Depart
ment now stand. their visit will be
brief. 1t was hoped that the fleet would
remain here until after the Knights
Templar cOnclave, but no orders to that
effect have been issued.
The New York is under orders to
proceed from here to the Atlantic, and
in company with the Marblehead. Ben
nington and Boston, viii start south
in a few days. The three smaller yes
sells will accompany the flagship for
only few hundred miles. The New
York will continue alone and, 1t is ex-
pected, will meet the cruiser Chicago
at Valparaiso.
The Chicago is on her way to this
station from the other side of the con-
miral Goodrich will transfer his flag
to the Chicago and on the new flag
ship will return to this port.
The New York, Bennington and Mar
blehead left here to straighten out
matters at Panama, and when that
mission had been fulfilled they pro-
ceeded to Honolulu, where they re-
manned for some time. Since leaving
Honolulu they have been to Alaska
and have spent some time on Puget
Sound. Just before Puget Sound the
fleet visited the British naval station
at Esquimalt, where the officers
