ELIHU ROOT is
SAFE IN CHILE
Cruiser Charleston Reaches Har.
Dor of LOta, Chile PARTS En-
Route to Valparaiso.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA special
dispatch from Lota, Chile, says that
the United States cruiser Charleston
and her convoy, the Chilean cruiser
Ministro Zenteno, have arrived and
are anchored in the harbor there. Sec
rotary Elihu Root and party are on
board the Charleston.
The gravest fears were entertained
for the safety Of the United States
cruiser Charleston, with Secretary of
War Root and party on board, which
was due to arrive there on Wednesday
last.
SO apprebensive had the Chilean gov
ernmcnt become that the torpedo gun
boat Almirante Simpson was ordered
out to search for the Charleston.
Not the slightest trace of the where
abouts of the Charleston had been dis
covered, and it was feared the vessel
had been wrecked in the dense fog
which followed the heavy storm on the
day the vessel was due to arrive in
.Lota. Neither was there any trace of
the cruiser AIinistro Zenteno, which
was dispatched to meet the American
boat. Secretary Root and party are to
be deliberately received in that city,
and the reception committees arrange
ments were at a standstill.
The failure of Secretary Root to
reach Lota, on the Chilean coast.
caused some apprehension at the state
department, although no serious alarm.
A dispatch was received from Minister
Hicks saying he was Mt Lota, about
go miles below Valparaiso, awaiting
MIR. Root, who was expected Wednes-
day night, but was delayed by a heavy
fog along the coast. Another dispatch
said Mr.. Root had not arrived up to
Il late hour, but the delay was natural
ana no apprehension was felt.

DONOVAN TOOK T
Check Was Unsigned but the Mistake Wa,
Soon Rectifed,

A man in the employ of Boynton
Brothers yesterday went to the city
collectors Office and paid a bill by
check. The city collector being away,
Clerk Michael Donovan, of the water
works office, accepted the check, gave
the man a receipt, and placed the
value on Mr.. Crowell's desk. A little
while later, a NEWS reporter and
city clerk Macmillan happened to
be in the office, and Mr.. Macmillan
accidentally picked up the check and
looked at it. AS he did so he laugh
ed, and handed the check to the
NEWS reporter, who also cracked a
smile. Michael then looked at the
check, and discovered that the sigma
ture of Boynton Brothers was miss
ing from the bottom.
Boynton Brothers were notified by
telephone in regard to the error,
which was rectified later.
Clerk Donovan wants to know who
the joke is on.

I He RAIDS
INCREASING
American : Charge in Cuba to
Protect Our interests -PIanta-
tons Being Looted.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The state
department received a dispatch from
Mr.. Sleeper at Havana, the United
States charge in Cuba, saying that he
had taken steps to have the Cuban
government protect American inter-
ests against the raids of the rebels.
The situation in Cuba is far darker
than at any previous time since the in
rising in Santiago province is spread
ing about Havana and causing the
gravest concern. The extent of the
rising in Santiago is not known, but
it is the opinion here that the worst
calamity of all to the Palma govern
ment is this %insurrection in eastern
Cuba.
Cardenas, which hitherto has been
considered a perfectly peaceful city,
was the scene of desultory fighting
between police md rural guards, on the
one side, and rowing insurgents, on the
other.
Near Cienfuegos there are 5000 arm
ed insurgents, and all the small towns
in Santa Clara province are controll-
ed by insurgents, who attack and loot
trains and seize the property of for
eigners rs well as of Cubans.
Trinidad is surrounded by insur-
gents, and the government appears
powerless to protect the property OF
Americans and other foreigners. Rail
way trains are held up at will and
passengers searched. The Cuban Cen
trail railway has declined to assume
responsibility for the safety of passen-
gers or freight.
a detachment of rural guards en-
gagged 125 insurgents near Esperanza,
ten miles from the city of Santa Clara,
with the result that the latter were
dispersed, leaving ten men dead on the
| field.
Demands from Americans for pro-
lection are pouring into the United
States legation there. Besides the
claim of the Constancia Sugar compa-
ny, an American corporation, for dam
age done by the rebels another has
been presented by the Mercedita Sug-
ar Estate company of Santa Clara
province. through its manager, Senior
Tonga, who is IA Cuban by birth, but
an American citizen.
American farmers in the province of
Pinar del Rio also are suffering the
consequences of the war. The Ameri-
can flags. which were rcSnected Inv tbp
insurgents in the first days of the war,
are now of no avail. The Cubans
seize hcrses, paying their American
owners with valueless notes signed by
the insurgent leaders. A prominent
American farmer of Santa Clara prov
ince who dares not give his name said
that the situation was insufferable.
His American flag had been trampled
upon, he stated. He Wen to Havana
and called on Consul Sleeper and re-
ported to him.

DRIES
ARE COMING.
New Jersey Is Proving a Mecca
for Many Large Western
Concerns.

hundreds of manufacturers from
other states, and notably from the
south and West, have moved into
Jersey during the past year. Many
OF these have transferred their big
manufacturing plants to this state,
IN some cases transporting heavy ma
chinery for the purpose, and many
others have established new plants
here at great expense. The result
has been to bring millions of dollars
OF capital into the state which will
give a tremendous impetus to the
annual manufacturing output.
The movement, it is predicted, will
have a remarkable effect on the flu
ture of the state. 1t has been notice
able generally throughout the state,
though naturally the big manufac-
turing centers have. profited the most
by 1t. In Newark alone, according
to the estimate of a big real estate
dealer, fully one hundred manufac-
turing concerns have soce in from
outside the state since January l
last. This one firm has brought in
fifteen such nee
The number of manufacturing
plants that have moved to Jersey
from the West is the more remark
able in that the trend of manufac-
lures has been toward the West for
the past few years. The fact that a
counter current toward the East is
now setting in has already been not
ed, not without concern, in some
western states. This counter current
is bearing a golden flood toward Jer.
sey. &.
Eastern capitalists express no sur.
prise that shrewd manufacturers in
the West and South should begin tc
discover that Jersey is their Mecca

interested in Jersey movements, re-
Gently:
1T is nok generally, acknowledged
throughout the Union that the fame
of Jersey consists of other things be-
sides the raising of mosquitoes. Nat.
urally the state is more attractive
than any Western state to the manu-
facturer, who is wise in his genera.
ton. In the West labor is scarce
here it is plentiful. Machinery is
cheaper here. And, for ones finish
ed products, Jersey is at the TIRES
hold of all markets. In the matter
of transportation the manufacturer
has the advantage of the competition
of several trunk lines.

BL0WF0 POUND
NET FISHING.
Nets in Raritan Bay Must be
Kept within Prescribed
Territory.

The U1l$6 States War Depart
ment is determined to break up the
pound net fisheries in Raritan bay,
insofar as they are an obstruction TO
navigation. The hook and line fish
ermen have been trying for years to
abolish pound fishing in the bay. The
pound men believe that the com
plant to the war department was in
spired by the hook and line men.
While the new order will not plonibit
pound fishing it will deal it Il serious
blow.
The pound net fishermen of Bel
ford and Port Monmouth were sum-
moned before an official of the war
department in New York on Monday.
The fishermen were told that COM
plant had been made that some of
the pound nets in Raritan bay were
an obstruction to navigation and they
would have to be moved. The nets
to which particular objection is made
are those near Sandy Hook. The fish
ermen tried to explain to the official
why the nets were not an obstruction
to navigation but the official seemed
to have his mind made up and would
not listen to argument. 1t was stated
that all nets would have to go out
side of an imaginary line extending
from the southwest spit buoy to
C%onover's beacon.
Those whose nets will have to be
removed are William Roop, William
Morris, Augustus Tarnow, Jacob
Schnoor, Albert Runyon, Edward
Johnson, John Osborn and Daniel
Oswald.
