THE MARYLAND'S
MISSION TOLD

WASHINGTON, January 15.-The
armored cruiser Maryland, which was
detached from the Pacific fleet under
sealed orders, is speeding toward
Guayaquil to join the gunboat York
town and help look after American
interests in Ecuador during the re-
bellion
The State Department fears that
as an incident to the present revolu-
tionary movement in Ecuador the val
liable American railway property from
Quayaquil to Quito, the capital, will
be damaged. If the disturbance con
tinues it is probable that further ma
val re-enforcements will be ordered
there.
Two Americans employed on the
railway were arrested for refusing to
run a train for the revolutionists
Captain Bertolette of the Yorktown
secured their release.
The situation at Guayaquil is re
ported by Consul General Dietrich. In
his advices to the State Department
today he confirms the reports of the
fighting around Hiugra, whence the
women and children were safely re
moved several days before the battle
by direction of Captain Bertolette
In this engagement the rebels lost
several hundred of their followers by
death and capture, and retreated tC
Yaguachi, near Guayaquil.
The reports indicate that Genera
Flabio Alfaro has left the rebel city
and goes to direct the course of the
revolutionary forces.
VALLEJO, January 15.-The Navy
collier Prometheus, which has beer

TAFT OFFERED
TO QUIT RACE

OYSTER Bay, l.. L. January TO-
Close friends of Colonel Roosevelt
here say that a fair and well-under-
stood working agreement has been
arranged between President Taft and
himself. 1t came about in this way,
it is explained: Several weeks ago
Colonel Roosevelt received a letter
from President Taft saying in sub
stance that he did not want to run
again and was perfectly willing to re-
linquish all claims to a second term
providing Colonel Roosevelt would
take the field and allow his friends
to name him as candidate at the
coming national convention.
The generosity of President Taft's
offer produced a tremendous effect
on Roosevelt. It aroused all the chiv.
alric impulses of his nature His re.
ply was quick and to the point
namely that under no circumstances
would he stand in the way Of the
Presidents boom.
With this understanding amicably
agreed to on both sides, Mr. Taft then
announced that he was a candidate
and only death would prevent his
keeping in the race.

QUEST FOR LEAKS
IN SAN FRANCISCO

Honolulu was ahead of San Fran

keeping tab on joy-riding in municipal
autos, but Honolulu might copy with
advantage from the new council of
the Coast metropolis the scrutiny OF
departments mentioned in the follow
ing Chronicle news item:
The public efficiency committee of
the supervisors resolved at its meet.
ing yesterday to inquire concerning
the capacity and equipment of the
fire departments corporation yard
with the view of having all the re-
pairs to the city's automobiles made
there, and to ascertain if supply sta,
tons cannot be established at some
of the fire department engine houses,
so that gasoline for the motor cars
may be stored there, thus enabling
the city to buy gasoline in larger
quantities at IA cents a gallon instead
of paying 90 cents a gallon for it, as
at present.
The committee will recommend
that records be kept by the drivers OF
the city's motor cars, so that the cost
of maintaining each machine may be
definitely known. Joy-riding with the
city automobiles may thus De checked

The young groom-to-be, realizing he
could not reach San Francisco until

or with a proxy for the groom, and
that he must hurry eastward before
Monday, adopted the ingenious means
of having the office held open until he
did arrive
/ He wired the manager at the Pal

been awaiting his arrival since last
Monday, and through the hotel man

curtain on the Manchu dynasty.
LONDON, January 1.-THE bomb
thrower who attempted the life of
Yuan Shin Kai has confessed that the
assassination of Premier Yuan was to
have been the signal for a general up
rising in Pekin, says Pekin dispatch

the st. Petersburg correspondent of

government has offered to cede Mon

of .1OOOO0,OOO taels, approximately
$7O,OOO,OOO.
PEKIN, January IS. - The bomb
which was thrown at Premier Yuan

ty yards from them one of the men
threw large bomb in it's direction
but his aim was so bad that the missile
exploded twenty feet from the car
riage. The vehicle ratified and shook
from the shock, but Yuan Shin Kai
escaped unscathed and appeared not
to be greatly perturbed.
The force of the explosion was so
great that many houses hundreds of
yards away were shaken.
Without waiting to see the effect
of their deed, the perpetrators rushed
toward neighboring house. Soldiers
and police, however, were close at
their heels, and they were arrested.
Others suspected of being accomplices
in the attempted assassination also
have been arrested.
Congratulation from all quarters,
including the legations have been
pouring in on Yuan Shin Kai through
out the day,

WATCH FOLKS
FROM HONOLULU

The following letter appears in the
San Francisco Chronicle
Sir-After reading your article in
yesterdays Chronicle of the important
matter of the apprehended invasion o.
the Mediterranean fly to the Pacific
Coast, it appears to me that, since
drastic measures are to be taken with
orchards here when found affected,
why not start a few drastic measures
with. careless people who persist in
the smuggling in of Hawaiian fruit?
Passengers leaving Hawaiian ports
should at least be warned Of the uan-
ger and compelled to sign an affidavit
that they have no contraband fruit, Il
provisions cannot be made immediate,
ly to search their baggage at sucn
ports. Then they could be prosecut
ed at least for making false state
ment If fruit is found on arrival here
There should also be some way pro
vided to make trouble for the trans
portation companies whose officers
and employees are negligent or lax Ia

SAN FRANCISCO, January 16,-The
proposed memorial tower which has
been approved by the directors of the
Panama-Pacifc International EXPOSE
ton, is attracting universal interest
on account of the wireless POSSIBLE

highest-powered station in operation
and place San Francisco in direct COM

and possibly with the coast of Japan,
besides vessels in the Pacific Secre-
tary of the Navy George Won l.. Meyer
writes as follows concerning the wire
less station:
The Navy Department is taking
steps toward erecting a high-power
station on the California Coast in con
nection with its chain of wireless sta
tons across the Pacific and for COM
munication with shirS in the Eastern
Pacific ocean. Since the range of wire
less depends principally upon the
height of the aerial wires above the
ground, and since the location of this
station at San Francisco would be
most advantageous to that city, it
would seem that the memorial tower
should be erected with a view to its
use for supporting one end of an aerial

"A site near the ocean beach at San
Francisco will give ideal wireless con-
ditions, there being no tall building or
trees in the sending direction, and
strongly recommend that, before the
exact site of the memorial tower is Sc
lected, the Navy Department be con-
suited as to the needs of the proposed
wireless station. Such a station would
in no way interfere with the use of the
tower as an observation station for
visitors or for it's use as a weather
station. The small wires OF the aerial

the appearance of the tower, while
adding greatly not only to its utility,
but to it's attractiveness for visitors.
