TAKING NO CHANGES.
United States Troops to Keep an Eye
 on the Returning Rebels.

Havana Oct. 2.-The attitude of the authorities of the United States in Cuba regarding the possibilities of the present situation seemed fairly ex- pressed this afternoon when Col. Wal Ter, commanding the marines, remark ed to the Associated Press that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
 The remark was called forth by the preparations that were going on at Camp Columbia to transport $50 ma rines from the enCampment westward tonight for the purpose of having them in adjacent towns when the first in- stallments of Gen. Guerra disbanded men reach these places tomorrow While no disorder is anticipated when the revolutionists reach their homes the provisional government and the military authorities consider the actual military occupation of Pinar Del Rio region quite as essential as the occu- patton of other portions of the island and that it is best to have an Ameri- can force to insure the preservation of order. This battalion of marines which was the first to occupy Pinar Del Rio, was sent forward tonight by special train.
 The orders came from Governor Taft at 6 o'clock, and half an hour later the battalion had boarded a train at Buena Vista, a station near Camp Columbia. The cars were switched from the Ma riana to the Western railroad and de- parted for the west. One thousand of the Guerra followers will go to Pinar Del Rio on special train, while 1000 others will start to march to their homes, taking with them their horses and extra mounts. It is the purpose eventually to restore all the horses to their rightful owners.
 It is believed tonight that all the revolutionists in the vicinity of Ha- vana will have been peacefully dispers- ed in three days. Generals Guerra and Del Castillo are actively cooper ating to this end. Together with Guz- man, the cOmmander-in-chie of the rebels in Santa Clara province, they called at the American legation today and renewed their promises of assist ance.
 While the departure today from Ha- vana of eX-President Palma was the most important event of the last twen-

Be Entitled to by Uninterrupted
Service.
Paris, July 13.-Captain Dreyfus has
been completely acquitted of the
charges on which he was condemned
as traitor, dismissed from the army
and imprisoned on Devils Island, and
regarding which France has been torn
for years by bitter political and racial
agitation. His vindication is two-fold.
the supreme court first announcing a
decision establishing the entire inno-
cence Of the accused man and the
ministry later deciding to present an
urgent bill In parliament restoring
Drsyfus to the army with advanced
rank, and otherwise giving reparation.
The decision of the court was q FORE
gone conclusion. The exhaustive in
quiries had completely demolished
the accusation against Dreyfus, show
iEg that the real culprit was Major
Count Esterhazy. The decision there
fore annulled the condemnation Of the
Rennes courtmartial and ordered that
the acQuittal be posted and published
throughout France.
The ministers held a protracted
special session at the Elysee palace
under President Fallieres and de.
termined on their course. Two bills
were formulated to be introduced into
the chamber concerning respectively
Dreyfus and Colonel Picquart. The
object is to restore both to the ranks
they would have held If they had
served continuously in the army.
Dreyfus consequently will be nomi-
mated major with eventual early pro-
motion to lieutenant colonelship.
PicQuart will Immediately become q
brigadier general. Dreyfus' name will
be inscribed on the list for the legion
Of honor, but he will not be directly
nominated to that distinction.
The bills wiz be taken up 1mme-
dfately and the ministers will endeavor
to have them pass both houses at
once. The cabinet desires to settle
the matter before sthe parliamentary
vacation, in order to avoid q recur-
renee of agitation In the country.

SCORE OF OTHERS.

Ashland, Wis, July ia powder
mill of the Atlantic Dynamite COM
pany, several miles from this city,
blew up at o'clock a. M, killing three
men. Twenty others were injured.
The dead are: J. L. Pearce. Whining

and George Woodisil.
The neutraliZing plant was totally

as the men, twenty-five in number,
were entering the building for the
days work. Superintendent J. l..
Pierce Of Wilmington, DEL ) William
Wallace, a laborer, and George Wood
Isle were first to enter the building.
They had fairly entered when the nj

one by one the less injured men came
out of the pail of smoke and each
dashed back in search of their COM
panions.
The mutilated body of Superintend.

TO STOP BLOODSHED
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN
GUATEMALA AND SALVADOR
BEING ARRANGED.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 16.-Peace
negotiations between Guatemala and
Salvador are being arranged by Pres
1dent Roosevelt and Acting Secretary
Of State Bacon at Sycamore Hill. The
question not yet settled is whether
Honduras will become a party to the
negotiations at this time. It IL rea-
soned here that it would hardly be fair
to compel Guatemala to face two for
mer foes in peace conference at one
time. Honduras will probably agree
to the settlement arranged by the two
states primarily involved.
The negotiations, it is stated, will
doubtless be held on board the Amer
lean cruiser Marblehead, now in Guate-
malan waters.
The arbitrators on behalf of the
United States and Mexico will be the
Mexican minister to Central America
and Messrs. Combs and Merry, United
States ministers to Guatemala and
Salvador, respectively. The date and
details of the proceedings beyond this
have not been arranged.

ENDS HIS OWN LIFE
MAN SUSPECTED OF MlNNEAP0.
LIS MURDER COMMITS SUI
eide AT ELROY. WIS.

Minneapolis, July 12.--Nathan M.
Riggs, the Omaha conductor accused
BY the local police of numbering Miss
Mile Ellison of Ellsworth, Wis, at
the National hotel in this city Tues
day afternoon, committed suicide in
Elroy, Wis, at 1918 Thursday morn
ing.
After his arrest Riggs asked that he
be permitted to visit his wife and
daughter on farm near Elroy and
he was permitted to go. An officer
accompanied him, but because of his
cheerful bearing and absolute denial
Of knowledge Of the National hotel
tragedy no fear was felt as to his
safety.
Riggs returned to Elroy early in the
evening. He conversed with scores
Of acquaintance and seemed to be at
ease. Shortly after midnight, while
awaiting arrival of the train to take
him back to this city, the prisoner
asked the officer in whose charge he
was for permission to go into the
closet at the railroad station hotel.
This was readily granted and mo-
ment later a pistol shot was heard
In the closet and when the officer en-
tered he found Riggs dead with q
bullet in the temple.
Proof Of Riggs Guilt.
Tho local police have established
beyond any possible doubt that the
IN. J. Wilson" who registered at the
National hotel about the same time
as Miss Ellison went there was Con-
ductor Riggs.
A search of Riggs residence on
Pillsbury avenue resulted in the find
ing of Miss Ellison's suit case in the
room usually occupied by Riggs. In
the furnace were found pair of stock
ings belonging to the dead woman
and also some underwear belonging
to her. Other links which went to
make the connection between Wilson
and Riggs certain were g. bottle OF
medicine bought at Ellsworth and an
atomizer known to have belonged to
the dead woman. The gray suit which
"Wilson" wore at the National hotel
was also found in Riggs room.
On the advice Of the county attor-
ney Riggs safe deposit vault was
forced and over $4,000 in cash, In
GLIDING two marked $1,000 bills paid
to Miss Ellison three hours before the
murder, were discovered.
Riggs and Miss Ellison have been
intimate friends for more than ten
years and although the man had a
family in Minneapolis it is said he be.
came engaged to the Ellsworth woman
and her relatives there say she left
home Monday of this week with the
Intention of marrying Riggs and going
to Washington state to reside.

CHINA LOOKS WESTWARD.

Modern Method.

China is becoming fully awake to
the fact that her future commercial
Importance will depend very largely
on the education of her people in the
ideas of the West. from which SO much
of her trade must be drawn. The
government, realizing this, is making
active efforts to establish education
al methods which will open to it's
subjects the paths of business ON the
treading of which in the future the
nation has resolved, and the indica-
ttons are that in the very near future
1t will be quite as easy for the aver
age business man to tranact his BUSH
ness In China as it is now in other
foreign lands.
The Picking government took its first
new educational step in 1903, when a
commission, of one Manchu and two
Chinese high officials. was appointed
to study the situation and report as
to the most feasible course for China
to pursue The oil dmethod of confer
ring literary degrees by holding bien-
