BREAKUP OF TIE EUROPEAN

# kiser Lcs.J Peace.

London, Feb 15.-What is practl.
cally the b4ea-:-up Of the European
concert on the Macedonian question
has come as q shock to the chancel.
lecies of the continent of Europe and
England, particularly as . quiet diplo-
matte season had been anticipated.
The assent Of Germany to the man
agement of Moroccan affairs by
France, the conclusion Of agreements
to maintain the status quo in the
Mediterranean, and the opening OF
negotiations looking to treaties that
should accomplish similar purpose
with regard to the North Sea seemed
to make the possibility Of differences
arising among the powers remote. The
conferences Of the ambassadors at
Constantinople also appeared to be
going on smoothly when . bomb was
thrown into camp by an announce
ment made. by Baron Marshall Won
Bieberstein, the German ambassador.
st: Petersburg, Feb. 16.-t is ex-
pected here that Russia and Great
Britain will enter upon an agreement
for joint action with regard to the
situation in Macedonia and that these
two powers will be supported by
France and perhaps by Italy. II such
a coalition is made the reason for it
undoubtedly will be the latest develop
ments at Constantinople- the fact that
Germany intends to abandon the allies
and adopt the counter proposals Of the
sultan, which are in the Russian
point Of view tantamount to no re-
form at all, and which are regarded
as creating 4 situation rivAling the
Moroccan ENHANCEMENT in interna-
ttonal Importance. Only by such
four-power league, according to the
Russian press, can the necessary re-
forms In Macedonia be carried
through Dispatches received here
from London indicate that a similar
view is gaining ground there. Austria
Hungary's desertion Of the concert in
return for individual advantages from
Turkey is generally accepted as a
fact in spite of the assurance from
Vienna that the agreement with Rus
STA remains the basis Of Austria-Hun-
gary's Balkan policy. The newspapers
resent bitterly the alleged duplicity
Of Baron Won Aehrenthal, the Austro-
Hungarian minister Of foreign affairs,
who is compared to card sharper
playing an underhand game with
conferedate, in this case Germany
against the othe~ powers.

James 5. Sherman, Republican nomi-

reception in his honor.
Congressman Sherman enjoyed q
good nights sleep last night and

there with Secretary Taft and leaders
of the Republican party to discuss the

the same cause during the campaign.

tiCipdte In Last Rites.

land was laid in the grave at
o'clock last evening in the presence

extremely simple and the reading of
the Presbyterian ritual at the grave
occupied less than five minutes.

cabinet and of Princeton faculty, Of
ficers of the Equitable Life Assurance
society. friends and neighbors
The services began with an invoca-
tion by Rev. S. w. Beach of the First
Presbyterian church of Princeton,
which was followed by scriptural
reading by Rev. M. V. Bartlett, of the
West Farms Presbyterian church of
New York, a former pastor of Mr.
Cleveland, who read from the four
teenth chapter of the book of John
and a number of passages from the
fourth and twenty-second chapters Of
Thessalonians.
In closing DR.. Bartlett read from
the book of Revelations as follows:
And they shall see his face, and
his name shall be on their foreheads;
they shall hunger no more, neither
thirst any more; neither shall the sun
light upon them, nor any heat for
the lamb which is in the midst of the
throne shall lead them into living
fountains and waters and God shall
wipe all tears from their eyes"
DR.. Henry Van Dyke then said that
according to the request of one
whose slightest wish at this moment
we all respect, there will be no ad-
dress or sermon, but there was
poem written more than a hundred
years ago by william Wordsworth
which is expressive of his character"
He then read the poem, Character of
the Happy Warrior" This was fol-
| lowed by readings from the Preshy-
| terian book of common worship the
services at the house concluding with

His Case viii Now Go Before Jus
tiCe Mills. the Efforts of His At
torneys Keeping Him From
the State Asylum for
the Present.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June az
Harry X. Thaw has obtained a new
writ of habeas corpus, returnable be-
fore Supreme Justice Mills of White
Plains, the writ having been obtained
by Thaws attorneys in anticipation of
Justice Morschauser's action in sign
ing an order at IL o'clock this morn
ing to return Thaw to Matteawan
asylum.
Since Thaw obtained his release
from Matteawan asylum on a writ of
habeas corpus and his case was
brought before Justice Morschauser to
determine whether he is now sane or
whether he should be returned to the
asylum, an effort has been maoe to
have the justice order him confined
in a private institution. The action
of the justice in declaring Thaw still
in a condition which necessitates his
confinement was a hard blow to
Thaw, for he exI ected to be declared
sane. Following this decision it was
expected that the justice would order
Thaw recommitted to Matteawan and
In anticipation of this action the Sec
ond writ of habeas corpus was OBJ
tanned.
This anticipation by Thaw and his
attorney proved correct, for District
Attorney Mack presented to the just
ICe this morning formal order of re-
commitment to Matteawan and Just
ice Morschauser promptly signed the
order He would have returned Thaw
to the asylum at once had not the
new writ been secured.
Thaw Is delighted at the turn his
affairs have taken, as he believes that
II he can get his case before a jury
1t will now declare him sane.

PROMINENT MEN SPEAK
At SAN ANTON|O'S
CELEBRATION
Governor Curry. Judge MOrri-
son and General Viljoen to
Address the Crowds.
MANY ATTRACTIONS
HAVE BEEN PREPARED

San Antonio, n. M, June III
(SpeciaD The town of San Antonio
is making great preparations for the
celebration on the Fourth of July.
Many good speakers will be on hand
to deliver addresses, the orator Of the
day being Judge A. L. Morrison of
Santa Fe. N NJ. Besides Judge Nor
rison, such men as Governor Curry,
Hon. Max. Montoya of San Antonio,
Hon. IL. o. Bursum of Socorro, DR..
G. II. Bacon of Carthage and Senator
Harvey Richards of San Marcial will
make brief speeches in behalf of their
respective towns.
The guest of honor, however, will
be the great Benjamin Johannis VIII
joen, the general who led the Trans
vaal armies against the English in the
late Boer war, and who left his be-
loved country in preference to sign
ing the oath of allegiance to England
as required of all Beers after the war.
1t is not generally known that this
famous soldier is now located in the
Mesilla valley with quite a colony of
his cOuntrymen. However, such is
the case, and he and his small band
of followers are successfully engaged
in farming.
They came to the valley in 1904
and took up 1900 acres Of land. large
ly through the influence of Joshua
A. Reynolds of Albuquerque and
Postmaster j. A. Smith of El Paso.
AS will De remembered, General VII
joen won some brilliant victories dur
ing the Boer war, notably at the bat
. Of A1 mi. 81
RhenasterkOp, where ne defeated
5000 British with only 1900 men. He
was finally ambushed and captured
his horse having received thirteen bull
lets while he was only slightly wound
ed He was then banished to the
island of st. Helena for life, but was
released after the war was over He
travelled a great deal but after many
years search for a settling place he
came to the Rio Grande valley, hav-
ing come to the conclusion that here
was offered the best opportunities for
farming in the world. That his judg-
ment was correct can readily be prov
en- by a visit to his happy and pros
porous colony near Mesilla.
General Viljoen is now a full fledg
ed American, having been admitted
as citizen of the United States only
a few months ago. He recently mar
ried an Illinois girl. Miss Myrtle Dick
inson by name. and is proud Of the
land of his adoption. Through his
influence a great many industrious
Dutch settlers will eventually be
brought to the Rio Grande valley.
A grand celebration in general is
what may be looked forward to at
this prosperous little town of some
500 population. The preparations be-
ing made here are superintended by
Mr.. Hilton, the foremost San Antonio
booster. A grandstand with a seating
capacity of over 500 is being built by
the city, while Mr.. Hilton has erected
a large pavilion which will be used
for dance hall. Nothing has been
left undone which will go toward
making this the greatest celebration
ever held in this territory. Excur-
sions will be run TO the city and all
visitors are guaranteed to be given
proper nre. All efforts will be made
TO see that everyone has a glorious
time.
