MEXICAN OUTLAWRY
STARTS THE RUM0RS

BY Associated Press.
LAREDO, Tex, Oct. 2.-Rumors
without the slightest foundation in fact
have been circulated to the effect that
band of revolutionists is in the
neighborhood of Columbia, Mexico, and
is approaching Nuevo Laredo.
Senor Lomeli, the Mexican consul
here, stated TO the Associated Press to-
night that he had made a personal in
vestigation of affairs in Nuevo Laredo
and had caused telegrams to be sent
to Columbia. In both cities everything
is quiet and there is no indication OF
impending trouble.
In regard to rumor today that 800
armed revolutionlsts are approaching
Nuevo Laredo, the consul points out
that 1t would be impossible for them tc
do so along the border roads, which
are well patrolled by troops, and that
in the event they made a detoul
through the interior of the country they
would likewise encounter cavalry. He
belittles the idea of a revolution and
says the number constituting the law
less gang has been exaggerated; that
not more than thirty malcontents are
to be counted upon.

THOUSAND W0ODMEN
MAY EJECT CHINESE

EUREKA, Cal, Oct. "A thousand
woodmen fro malmost every camp in
the state are ready to convene at For
tuna on a few hours notice, and hun
dreds of citizens from other walks of
life are ready to .oin the army if such
is necessary to deport twenty-seven
Chinese who were imported by the Star
buck Talent Canning company at Port
Kenyon last Saturday.
The workmen came from various
camps this evening in order that the
entire forces could convene at Fortuna
tomorrow morning If requested by a
committee of Fortuna citizens.
Mass meetings were held at Fortuna,
Eureka and other towns in Humboldt
last evening.
At the meeting of the Fortuna the
management of the cannery was pres
ent for a while.
The cannery directors PASSED resolu-
tions to the effect that the Chinese
would be shipped out at the end of the
season, never to return, If permitted to
stay a few months.
The compromise was rejected at all
the mass meetings throughout the
county. and resolutions were passed
that the cannery must deport the
Chinese Immediately.
tomorrow a committee VIII meet at
Fortuna and consider ways and means
to eject the Chinese.
At a meeting at Eureka this evening
1t was suggested that the supervisors
be petitioned to pass a nordinance pro-
hlbiting seining in Eel river. This
would close the cannery.
Such a method. however, would work
hardship on Fortuna, which engages In
the fishing industry.
The feeling has become such that the
most conservative say the Chinese will
be deported by the end Of the week at
the outside.

MOODY AND SHAW
TO step DOWN
TWO MEMBERS WILL RETIRE
FROM THE CABINET

Present Portfolios
By Associated PICS.


WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-TWO retire
ments from the presidents cabinet are
slated for the coming winter
They are those of Attorney General
Moody, whose resignation will become
effective about the first of December,
and that of Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw, who, according 20 present inten-
tions. will retire in February.
For one of the vacancies to be Gre
ated the president will nominate George
V. l.. Meyer, American ambassador TO
Russia, but for the other he is not yet
ready to announce a successor.
Mr.. Roosevelt has sought to prevail
on Attorney General Moody to remain
in the cabinet, but the latter, because of
business arrangements he has made,
has found 1t impossible to do so.
He would also like to have Secretary
Bonaparte take Mr.. Moody's place when
the latter retires. but the former pre-
fers the position at the head of the
navy department, with whose workings
he has become thoroughly familiar.
Some suggestions have been made
that Secretary Metcalf of the depart
ment Of commerce and labor take one
of the positions TO be made vacant in
the proposed shifting of cabinet Off
cials, but he also has expressed a pref
erence to remain where he is.

SAMOA VOLCANO SPOUTS LAVA
Harbor Of Apia Is Scene Of shipwreck.
Natives Impose Taxes
on Themselves

By Associated Press.
TUTUILA,, Samoa, Sept. IA, via San
Francisco, Oct. 2-The eruptions of
the volcano on the island of Savaii have
been increasing and further destruction
has been wrought.
The lava streams are flowing from
places which were thought to be safe
and the forests are being moved down
like wheat with scythe.
The steamship Atua of the Union
Steamship company Of New Zealand
while in the harbor Of Apia two weeks
ago narrowly escaped wreck When
making a turn upon leaving her bow
struck the western reef and moved on
to the slope descending into the sea.
There was a receding tide at the time
and before it was possible to lighten
the steamer in order to get her OF, her
stern gradually lowered and the vessel
swung by her bow attached to the reef
with the stern many feet lower on the
surface of the water. The steamer
after being relieved of more than QUO
tons of copra and other cargo was with
the incoming tide successfully hoated
off the reef.
The natives of the eastern district Of
Tutuila have self imposed a tax on
every head of family amounting to S2
each to support school for the teach
ing of the English language and other
subjects. The low revenues of the Is
lands of American Samoa are being
utilized as much as possible towards
the formation of roads and the educa-
ton of the people, but these revenues
are not sufficient for the latter improve-
ment and so the Samoans of their own
accord levy a tax on their own peolple
to support the schools.

LONDON, Oct. 2.-One sequel to the
British Intrusion into the forbidden
land Of Tibet, from which age-long GUS
tom excluded western Inventions, will
be the immediate introduction of the
automobile.
Captain Conner, British trade agent
at Cyantee, is taking an 80-horse power
motor car for the use of the grand lama

The incongruity Is increased by the
fact that neither cart roads or carts
are known in the neighborhood of Tash

vehicle the natives have ever seen. The
Tashi lama Will have road made from
his monastery to Cyantse, where there

? Associated Press.

AttOCiateO FTeSa.
WASHINGTON, oct. 2.-Presldent
Roosevelt discussed freely today with
his cabinet and with individual callers.
among whom were Senators Knox and
Foraker the present situation In Cuba
and, its temporary occupation by the
American forces.
The case was talked over at the cab
met meeting, but no definite announce
ment of the result OF the deliberations
was given out.
The president related to the cabinet
and to the other callers with whom he
talked the action that had been taken
by the American govei nment. was des-
tined solely for the benefit of the people
of the island, with a view to the COM
plete restoration of order there and the
protection Of all interests.
He declared that he had no such mo-
tive in view as the possible annexa-
tion of the island by the United States.
What he wanted now was that the
Cubans should be given another chance
at self-government.
No Extra Session
Unless extraordinary conditions arise,
no extra session of congress will be
called to deal with the Cuban situation,
as the president considers he has ample
authority to proceed in the matter.
1t seems to be well settled that for
mer Governor Charles e. Magoon of
the Panama canal zone, who has just
returned from Panama, will be ap
pointed governor of the provisional
government of Cuba, in succession to
Secretary Taft. Both the president and
Secretary Taft had in view the designa-
tion of Governor Beeman Winthrop of
Porto Rico for the office.
The president however has eX-
pressed the belief that he can better
spare Governor Magoon from his duties
in the Philippine islands, where he has
been appointed member of the Phil
ippine commission and vice governor
general of the island, that he can
the services of Governor Winthrop for
the several months during which he ex-
poets the provisional government of
Cuba will continue.
Governor Magoon is anxious to go to
Cuba, and his selection for the place
is expected, to be announced soon.
The president expects Mr. Taft to
return to Washington in a fortnight
or less.
Panama Trip Postponed
The president has given some consid-
GRAFTON to the possibility of the neces-
sity of a postponement of his trip to
Panama next month. because of con-
dftiOnS in Cuba. He does not think
at this time. however. that there is any
likelihood Of conditions arising which
will prevent his going to Panama to
make the tour Of inspection which he
announced some time ago.
Should any decided evidences OF uu-
rest i'm Cuba mike themselves apparent
as u result Of the American occupa ton.
and the disarmament Of the reVu1u-
tionists requiring his presence in
washington, the president has ex-
pressed the Intention OF abandoning
the "trip to Panama set for this fall, in
which case it will be made after the
adjournment Of congress next spring

BY Associated Press.
VICTORIA, b. c., Oct. News was
received today by the steamer Bellero-
phon from the orient of the seizure OF
the Japanese sealing schooners Taifuku
Maru and Daisan Taiyo Maru, owned
by the same company as the Dai NJ
Taihyo Maru, which was caught raid
ing the st. Paul rookery in Bering sea
and had five of her crew killed and
twelve captured.
The two Japanese sealing vessels
were captured off Copper islands by a
Russian warship, one of three sent to
guard the Copper island rookeries when
the wholesale raids made by the Jap
anese in the past two seasons were re-
ported, and towed to Petropavlovsk,
Kamtchatka, and conf1scated.
Owners of the Taifuku Maru have
addressed a memorial to the Japanese
government, claiming the seizure was
Illegal, and asking that claim for
compensation should be made to the
Russian government.
Some years ago a number of Ameri-
can and Canadian sealing vessels were
seized off Copper islands and taken as
prizes to Petropavlovsk. for which seiz-
ures damages were paid by the Russian
government.
An authoritative statement received
L
thirty-eight Japanese sealing vessels
were engaged this season. Two-thirds
were sent to Bering sea. others sealing
off Kamtchatka and in Okhotsk sea-
Contrary TO japanese expectations,
the reports of the sealing and fishing
off Copper islands and Siberia were not
accepted as spoils of war, though the
Robins island rookery off Sakhalien
WAS secured
Japanese Send Gunboat
The Japanese zunboat Masashi was
sent to guard this rookery, and the
Russian government, having had re-
ports OF raids made by schooners or
gznfzed for the purpose, carrying field
guns to overawe the guard on shore,
sent three fast cruisers.
The Japanese claim they are being
fl -egaIly harassed while sailing on the
high seas by the Russians. and a recent
memorial sent by Japanese. sealers to
the foreign Office asks that steps be
taken to guard their interests; other
wise, the memorial read, further
troubles like the recent event at Priby
loff islands and the continued capture
of Japanese sealers by Russian patrols
will go on
An alleged Russian outrage has been
reported to the japanese government.
II is claimed that the Japanese ship
Kinsho Maru was driven into the ST.
berian coast at OF bay on August BY
stress of weather and was seized by the
Russian destroyer Bodry. The crew,
numbering fourteen, were taken on
board the destroyer while the Russians
removed the ships cargo and stores.
The crew was sent by a Russian
transport to Vladivostok and was i'm
prisoned there when the Bellerophon
left.

PASADENA, Oct. 2-Late this after

granted a most unusual privilege by
the city council. This is the mag

over a hundred thousand dollars

well. This afternoon the Oak Knoll
people asked and were granted per-
mission to make such improvements
without going before the council so
long as the work is not objected to
by the city engineer or superintendent
Of streets.
Santa Fe Has Grievance
There was a lively protest from En-
gineer William Terriss, Of the Santa
Fe system, to the city council in the
forenoon because of the grade of Elm
street where it crosses the Santa Fe
tracks. This grade was first fixed by
the city engineer to suit the railway
company. Property owners then pro-
tested that it would destroy their
trees to conform to the grade and the
council ordered 1t changed.
Today it was a question for the
council to decide, whether the railway
people should be inconvenienced or the
property owners and the question was
only settled in favor of the people by

Orders Out Militia
Governor Jelks. who was In the city
tonight, at once took active steps to
prevent any further disorder and
ordered three companies of militia to
be brought to the city as quickly as
possible.
Shortly after 10 o'clock tonight a sec
ond mob gathered i'm the business sec

vinced that Robinson was there, and
expressing themselves as bound to have
him at any cost.
Sheriff Powers declared to the crowd.
as he had to the first one, that ROBIN
son was not In the jail and that he had
not been there.
The mob demanded to have men sent
through to make another search and
this was permitted.
Three men entered and after an in
spection came out and informed the
crowd that the man was not there.
The announcement was received with
incredulity and there were demands
that the negro be brought out at once.
The crowd was growing extremely
ugly when Captain Frank Lumsten
made a speech asking 1t to dispense.
This speech satisfied the crowd and It
soon dispersed.
The temper of the citizens of Mobile
regarding the crime of Robinson was
shown tonight when before the conclu-
sion Of the performance at the Mobile
theater, the leading playhouse of the
city, crowd of 20 men had gathered in
front Of the place determined to attack
the negroes in the theater as they
came out.
Nothing was done, but 1t would have
required only the slightest alteration
between white and negro to have pro-
duoed serious trouble.
