CHINESE LOAN
MADE BIG STIR
America Is Seeking to Keep
Alive the Chinese-Ameri-
can Agreement

Berlin, June 16.-The American
protest at Pekiug against the conclu-
sion by the Chinese government Of
the loan agreement with the German.
British and French bankers for $27,-
100000 for the construction of the
Rankow-Sze-Chuen railroad, without
having given the American financiers
an opportunity to participate, had
made stir in diplomatic circles here
and among financial houses with far
east interests. The action of the state
department is regarded officially in
Berlin as intended to keep alive the
Chinese-American agreement of 1904
in order that the present loan shall
not be taken as a precedent. It is
not supposed that Washington seeks
q cancellation Of the loan contracts.
Foreign Secretary Won Schoen is un-
derstood to have said verbally to Am
bassador Hill that the German gov
ernment has nothing to do with this

Pekin, is keeping the state department
advised fully of the developments fol-
lowing his representations to China
in the matter Of the loan on the
Hankow-Sze- -Chuen railway in which
American bankers are anxious to par
ticipate.
Energetic measures Were taken by
the administration conformably with
the promise made by China to Min
lister Conger in 1904, to secure rAmeri-
can participation in the loan ON the
road and the attitude of this govern
ment has been that, having been noti-
fed of the readiness of the American
capital to take portion of the loan,
China would not attempt to avoid full
filling its clear obligations to the
United States. The state department
Is not yet prepared to make any COM
ment on the latest advices from Pekin,
indicating that China has. on MIR.

to cause Gould to absent himself and
refuse to return except upon assur-

tation is safe in the hands of her

KILLED HIS LOST
And Another Visitor and Stole Hosts
Pretty Bride.

San Diego, Cal., Jan. 6.-NewS
has reached here of, tragedy fol-
lowing a Christmas celebration at
a ranch near Vallecitos, in which two
men were killed by'a guest, who es-
capped into the mountains Of Lower
California, carrying loff the beau
tiful wife of one of his victims.
The killing and kidnapping is be-
lieved to have occurred Christmas
day. Victor Gotta, owner of the
ranch, and his father-in-law, Jose
Rodriguez, were the men who met
death. Mucie Berdugo, who had
been invited to spend the holidays
with them, was the slayer and after
he had stabbed and cut her husband
and father to pieces, he forced Mrs.
Gotta, bride of six months, to go
with him into the mountains.
Tracks of the two were discover
ed leading into the mountains below
the boundary line, and it is believ-
ed that the man has found refuge
in Lower california. A posse is now
engaged in a search of the mountains
on the American side of the line.
