The. administration is very much puZ-

United States to the pan-American con-
ference at Buenos Aires next June with
out sacrificing the national dignity. Those
delegates are going representatives of
the people of this country for the purpose
of encouraging friendly relations and pro-,
noting trade with the other American re-
publics, and there does not seem to be
any way to get them down there except
upon a British a German ship. which
is humiliating to a great country like the

The Squirrel a National Enemy?

From the Newark Star.
Bubonic plague only gave a respite to
the Pacific coast as result of the en-
phatic warfare made upon it. According
to the chief of the bureau of biological
survey. the plague is now epidemic in
California. The war was made on the
rats. but the rats had inoculated the
ground squirrels. which are now carrying
the plague and spreading 1t over larger sec
lions of the country. Last year more than
500 of the squirrels that were captured
were found to he diseased, and plague
stricken squirrels have been found in re-
mote sections OF California "A menace
to the whole country" Is the report of the
biologist, and wholesale determination of
the ground squirrel is shown TO be an
absolute necessity. The danger thus pic
tured may soon assume appalling pro-
portions, and before Congress and the
states realize Its possibilities.

CARUSO IS THREATENED
OPERATIC TENOR TOLD TO GIVE
UP $4,000.
Receives Two Letters Signed With
the Black Hand-Clue Obtained
by the Police.

NEW YORK, March 5.-Enrico Caruso.
the tenor, received a letter Thursday
afternoon signed with the black hand
and demanding $1,000 on threat of death.
The tenor was ordered to walk along 42d
street and pass the amount named to a
man who would accost him with a
strange sign. Caruso walked along the
street for few blocks. and then return
ed Two detectives trailed him. No one
approached the singer.
A Second Demand.
On arising Yesterday mornig he found
in his mass OF mail a second letter from
the same writer 1t told of Caruso s
movements on the previous day. of the
police bodyguard, and said that such
precautions would be useless. The Black
Hand would get the singer. the letter
said, on the street in his room or at the
opera house. There could be no escape.
The letter closed with repeated demand,
under pain of death, for the $1,000 and
directed Caruso to meet the writer in
Brooklyn last night.
The Only Clue.
The only clue so far is furnished by
Patrolman Henry Hauk. He says that
at noon yesterday an Italian, poorly
clad, asked him where he could find
Caruso. Assuming that the man, from
his appearance, wanted a hotel kitchen
job. the officer directed him to the serv-
ants entrance on 4lst street few
minutes later the man returned and in
sisted that he wanted Mr.. Caruso, the
singer. He was told to apply at the
desk. The trail ends with the police
man.
Caruso was too nervous to discuss the
matter when questioned about ii last
night. He sat behind a locked door In
his apartment in the Hotel Knicker-
booker. guarded by his faithful friend
and brother singer. Armando lie Comte

Money for Voyage Lacking.

1t will cost at least twenty-five or thirty
thousand dollars to send the Sumner to
Buenos Aires with the delegates, and that
would use up one-fourth of the entire ap-
preparation, which Secretary Knox would
be very reluctant to do. The expense
might be paid out OF the transportation
appropriation of the quartermaster's de-
partment. but the quartermaster general
would make a most earnest remonstrance
because Congress has already cut down
his funds to the absolute necessities OF
the service. Otherwise it will require
joint resolution to make the Sumner
available.
1t has already been arranged to send
squadron of four cruisers, the North Car
DINA, the Montana. the Tennessee and the
Washington, to participate in the naval
review which is to be held at Buenos
Aires in May. All the navies of the world
are to be represented on that occasion.

which has recently given contract for
two battleships to an American company

Useless in Distant War.

Yet it would be absolutely useless in
case of war in distant waters because
we would have no ships to carry the
coal to feed its furnaces The price of
one battleship would pay for carrying
the mails and the merchandise of our
manufacturers to South America for
several years. and yet Congress will vote
money for men-of-war, when we have no
war, and still refuse to allow the Post
master General to use the receipts from
foreign postage to pay for mail service
on ships-of-peace to Rio de Janeiro and
Buenos Aires.
Our fleet stopped at both those ports in
its recent voyage around the world, but
not one merchant ship under steam has
entered the habor of either city under
the United States flag for many years
Our flag Is never seen there except when
it floats from the topmast of some sail
ing vessel loaded with lumber or refined
petroleum.
The Secretary of State proposes to use
the army transport Summer to carry the
delegates to Buenos Aires rather than
allow them to go on British ship. The

3.45S tons, 1863 feet long, 43 feet beam

At the time of the Intervention in
Cuba the Sumner carried the soldiers
down. and at the evacuation she brought
them back. and last August she was used
as an auxiliary of the North Atlantic
fleet during its attack on Boston in the
mimic war. The Sumner is now lying at
Newport News out of commission but
if the President decides to use her to
send the delegates to Buenos Aires she
will be overhauled and put in order.
