LATE DETAILS OF MUTINY

London, Dec. 1.-THE correspand-
ent of the Telegraph at st. Peters
burg. in a dispatch dated December
10 sends an interview with Count
Wiite, in which the premier indi-
Gates that Russia Is confronted with
the alternative of a revolution or vi
client coercion. Though the count has
not abandoned hope. he is not san-
gulne and If forcible representation
should become necessary he Will. ac-
cording 10 the correspondent. resign
his task to other hands.
White reviewed the conditions from
his return from Portsmouth to the
present time. Speaking OF the riot
ing and bloodshed throughout the
empire Witte said such result of
the emperor's manifesto was utterly
unexpected The people instead of
uniting TO preserve order quarreled
among themselves. Systematically an
initiated their own means of liyeli-
hood and not only brought ruin to
themselves but to vne nation. The
people who acted In their own inter
ests Sere the reyolutionists. They
knew what they wanted and set about
attaining II.
In conclusion Witte said: Unless
all elements OF society abandon their
own differences OF opinion and itln
hands to assist the government in
checking anarchy and in carrying out
the emperor's manifesto, the situa-
ton may be regarded as truly dis
quietIng and serious.

The abolition of the custom col

Capt. J. r. Puryear. collector OF

"The port has been maintained
here for the past 40 years and for the
past 90 years | believe annual at

"If the steamboat men learn in

Congressman Ollie James Is in the

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 12.--If
the commander of the German gun
boat Panther insists in holding Stein
hcffer, who was captured in hotel
at Itajahy, Santa Catharina, because.
1t was said he evaded military duty
In Germany. the Brazilian men-of-
war will demand the absolute surren-
der of the Panther.
Even should the man be released
now Brazil will demand of the Ger
man Emperor condemnation Of his
seizure and treatment.
Brazi3s chief feeling of resentment
at the action of the Panther is be-
cause 1t might hurt German immi-
grafton to Brazil. In view of this
fact Brazil will seek fun redress and
explanation from Germany.
A cable from London states that
the Panther incident was intended
purposely as am act to test the prac-
tical application of President Roose-
roe doctrine. The London cable re-
ports that there should be an imme-
diafe expianation to clear away a
feeling that Germany has designs on
South America
1t Is i'd that even If Stein'hoffer
had been a deserter from the Panther
the commander of that vessel would
have had no right to hand marines
and seize him without formal appli-
cation to the Brazilian authorities
for his surrender
On the other hand. Germany has
always insisted that If one of her
subjects should leave the country
to escape military service 1t becomes
ain offense which may be punished at
any time and anywhere the deserter
falls into the hands of the German
authorities.
There are more than $50, 900 Ger
mans in Brazil Hence Brazl, fears
that III she does not protest vigor-
ously against this instance Germany
might infringe on Brazilian territory
in the future.
The United States government
looks seriously upon the affair. IL
1t leads to war, it would seem that
this government would be compel,ed
to intervene. ~
