OPERATORS MISTAKE
 STOPPED A MARRIAGE.
Engagement Broken as Result of
 Error ii a Message.

New York, July 11.-An unusual and yet easily explainable error in the transmission of a telegraph message has resulted in 8 claim for damages against one of the telegraph companies for breaking an engagement that was soon to end in marriage. The company Is charged with alternating the young woman's affections. The message was sent by the young man and read as follows:
 T love you forever"
 When. 1t was delivered to the sd dressee, fl read:
 T leave you forever"
 Under the circumstances there was nothing for her to do but send back the young mans gifts, his engagement ring and all his letters. and before the sender of the message could com municate with her she had accepted another offer of marriage. Hence the claim for damages.
 The company's defence is that the mistake was not due to negligence, but that the Morse spelling for love and leave" Is so much alike that trouble on the wires caused the error. The word Hove" has two dots for the letter o." and "leave" has dot for "e" and dot nnd a dash for "a

Washington, July 1.-The lines were drawn tonight for a great diplomatic struggle between the United States and Great Britain over the question of whether this country may discriminate in favor of American vessels in the administration of the Panama canal The disagreement may terminate in the submission of the question to The Hague tribunal.
 A series of diplomatic aad legisla- tive conferences today developed the fact that the forces in the American government which favor allowing American ships free passage through the canal are in control These forces take the position that there is nothing in the Hay -Pauncefote treaty, under which the canal was built, to prevent this concession.
 Great Britan's Position.
 The diplomatic struggle, precipitated by the note received today from Mitchell Innes, charge of the British embassy, it is expected, will be fought along the following lines,
 Great Britain will take the position
 
 vision which forbids discrimination in favor of the interests of any nation in the conduct of the canal would operate against the provisions of the Panama bill now under consideration in the senate. This position will be sup ported by a lengthy argument now on It's way from London by mail which will be presented to the state depart nlent and transmitted to congress up- on its arrival.
 Contention of United States.
 The United States will hold that so long as the ships of all foreign nations are accorded the same treatment in the use of the canal the United States may pass American ships free. or re- | bate the tolls charged them. This po- sition was taken up by the house when 1t reversed the report of the house in terstate and foreign commerce com mittee which would have prevented

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST
 THE BUBoNlc PLAGUE.
New York Health Officials Active
 Along Water Front.


 
 New York, July 11-Although strict watch has been kept by the health officers at this port for more than two weeks without the slightest trace of invasion of bubonic plague, the quarantine officials continue to fight vigorously against all possibilities. Over one thousand pounds of sulphur were burned today in the hold of the steamship Saratoga from Havana and the Caracas of the Red D line from San Juan, as they lay off the Statue of Liberty with the yellow quarantine flag flying.
 It is estimated that thousands of rats, which may have been exposed to the plague in West Indian ports, were killed by the sulphur. A few of the rats were caught and sent to the qua rantine station for expert examination. Similar precautions are taken with all vessels from the West Indian ports.
 The officials seem to agree that there is little danger of invasion of the plague and think that undue alarm has been caused by the precautions taken, but they propose to keep them up. Health Officer O'Connell today re- quested the dock authorities of New York and Jersey City and Hoboken, N. J., to order their subordNlates to make thorough inspection of the docks and to report immediately any eW- dences of mortality among rats.
