Christmas at Bucaramanga, Ioca.
Ted in the interior of South America
began early in December, with an all
night display of skyrockets and q
thirty-six hours discharge of explo-
sives. One might easily have ina
gined himself in a beseiged city for
the sleep he could get. 1t continued
throughout the month, with sudden
bursts of rockets and csnnonading.
Nearly every morning for weeks we
were awakened at four a. %. and kept
aweke until daylight by explosions
on earth and above the earth. Stimuli
taueorsly with this outburst all the
bells of the city com menced jangling.

continuous crowd pattered by our

works that were stretched across the
upper psrt of our street. Tall poles
were wound with many coIored
papers, lines were woven back and
forth across the street, and hung with
coIored lanterns, RlI ablsze with parti-
colored lights, Fire.crackers and CAL
cium liphts bounded. The crowd
ebbed and flowed through the camellOn,
talking and shouting in the height of
enjoyment. Some managed to clear a
space large enough to dance In. A
hearty good time was what each
sought and what each was securing.
We were glad 10 see these poor peo-
pie, whose lives are almost entirely de-
void of any legitimate pleasures, en-
ioying themselves for once.
Yet there was nothing of religion,
scarcely of civilization in this streetre
velry. The whole thing took on a
barbarous aspect ALI night the COM
motion in the street kept up. At
midnight the hundreds of little bells
of churches of the city commenced
their ringing and the boom of explo-
sives again burst into full blast.
At four in the morning the churches
began with masses, which were kept
up until nine o'clock. There was no
procession.

to Meet With Representatives
of Other Counties.

a committee from the Essex Board
of Freeho1ders VIII attend a confer
ence tomorrow afternoon of the New
Jersey Interstate Bridge and Tunnel
Commission and officials Of five coun-
ties. The conference. which will be
held in the Lawyers Club, lis Broad
way, New York. has been called for
the purpose of discussing the pro-
posed bridging or tunneling of the
Hudson river connecting northern
New Jersey with upper and lower
New York.
Essex will be represented by Di-
rector Waiter A. Evans and Free
holders Richard F. Malta and Ernest
f. Ryman They win simply listen. -
they said today and will take no
definite action.
Representatives Of the Boards of
Freeholders from Passaic, Bergen.
Union and Hudson counties will also
attend It is expected.
1t is estimated that the actual cost
of a bridge linking the two States
would cost approximately s42, 900 900,
of which $4,000, 600 would be neces-
sary for real estate acquisitions. A
tunnel with two roadways for vehicu-
lar traffic would cost about S11 900. 600
New York state has agreed to pay
half the expense Of the project should
it be carr. ed out. Some experts esti-
mated the cost on Essex county one
would be nearly s6.00o000, if it is de-
cided TO erect a bridge spanning the

property of the negro. According 70
temalan Indian custom, the fat1
er Of the girl was eliminated from
the matter by his unlucky cast of
the dice, Zurello entered into nego-
tiations with the negro. He offered
him thirty pesos for the girl The
negro refused.
Soon after Williams left for his
work Saturday, May 9, three men
appeared at the shanty. 1t is said
they were Zurello, a peon named
Pedro and a half breed. Williams
had occasion to go to the shanty a
few hours later. Tied to a nearby
tree was his Indian girl mutilated
with knives. just before she died she
told him who had assailed her.
Arming himself, Williams, it Is de-
clared, began search for Zurello,
found him and shot him to death.
Then he killed Pedro and the half
breed.
All that night there was fighting
between the negroes and Indians.
Religious services were held in a
little church as usual the next morn
ing. When the Indians came from
the church the negroes were en-
massed nearby and opened fire on
them. Williams and twelve of his
followers were killed. Many Indians
were slain. Fighting was kept up
for many days, and according to the
story reaching here, the bodies OF
siyty-four negroes were found. Just
how many Indians were killed proba-
bly, never will be known.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y. May 20.-
Twelve hours after Theodore Roose-
welt returned from South America
he was back today in the thick Of
politics. He was up early and as
soon as breakfast was over he was
hard at work picking up the threads
where he dropped them seven months
ago.
Colonel Roosevelt, it was learned
o1ay, looks forward to one of the
hardest political campaigns of his
career. Except for the time occe-
pied by his trip to Spain for the
wedding of his son, Kermit, he ex-
poets to devote to politics most of
the time until November. Already q
tentative plan of action has been
mapped out. Colonel Roosevelt has
in mind one of the longest campaign
trips he ever has made, taking him
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
several shorter trips in nearby States

FIRST REROUTINC
OF STREET CARS
GOES INTO EFFECT
Central Avenue Trolleys Are
Sent Over New Line to Penn
syIvania Station.

The first rerouting of trolley cars in
connection with the trolley reroutlng
and terminal plan of the Public Ser
vice Railway Company. went into
effect early today when the Central
cars were sent over their new route
/ starting at Broad street and &c 4ral
avenue. Instead of2 turning into
Broad street from Central avenue, at
O'Clock this orning, a Central car
continued over Park place to Centre
street, to Mulberry street and over
the new switch into Market street, to
the Pennsylvania station loop. The
return was made the same way.
| This was the first car over the first
new route completed in connection
with the proposed rerouting of the
citys trolley system preparatory to
the construction of the railway com
panys million dollar terminal on
Park place.
The first car went over the new
route with but little confusion. There
was short delay because of the fact
that the switch at Central avenue,
Park pace and Broad street it not
quite completed. Aside from this, the
first trip was a success, and the rail-
way expects no trouble from the new
route.
A second car went over the new
route ten minutes after the first. The
cars then ran at ten-minute intervals
| until O'Clock. when they came more
frequently, until the headway was
reduced to two and one-half minutes.
The last car to go over the switch
from Central avenue south on Broad
passed there at 4 O'Clock yesterday.
The car had no sooner gone over the
switch than worlmen started to in
stal the new switch taking the Cen
tral cars into Park place. They
worked all night, and at o'clock
this morning the switch was ready
for operation.
This switch will be removed After
o'clock yesterday the Central cars
| were sent over Washington street
| from Central avenue to Market and
down past the -Four Corners to the
| Pennsylvania loop. During the rush
hours Central cars will run over
Washington street to Market only
every four minutes. Other Central
cars will make the regular trip to the
| loop at the Pennsylvania station
every four minutes also.

over the same route from Central
avenue that the Central cars now

| has not been definitely settled, but
| it is expected 1t will take place one
week from today. That is the second
change proposed by the rerouting
plans.
The third change in the plans will
be put into effect in about one month.
This will effect the Elizabeth Newark
| and Main Line cars Instead of pass
ing the -Four Corners on the north
bound trip, these two car lines will
proceed down Green street, thence to
Mulberry through Bridge to Broad
again and over the present route to
the Lackawanna loop. The return
trip will be made down Broad street
as at present.

REPORT 164 SLAIN AS RESULT
OF RACE RIOT OVER GIRL.
Wireless Used in Effort TO Con firm Strange Story of Saugh
ter in Guatemala, Which Was Caused by Negro
Winning Indian Bride at Dice

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 20
The United Fruit Company today
was using its wireless in an effort
to confirm a strange story of iace
riot reported to have occurred on one
of it's plantations in Guatemala, in
which il is reported sixty-four ne.
groes and probably 100 Indians were
killed.
Smouldering race hatred of The ma
tive Indians for negroes, inflamed by
one of the negroes winning the In
dian girl, NaZada from her father
at dice, and his refusal to sell her
back to a native, is reported to DC
the cause of the trouble. The story
came to New Orleans by mail.
The negro, Clarence Williams, had
been working on the Teuaheuns
farm, one of a number of planta-
tions the United Fruit Company op-
crates in the Montague River dis
trict. According to the story, he had
incurred the hated of many of the
Indians because of his prowess with
dice. In a game which recent y
Nazadas father participated he won
all the old poems money and then,
Guatemalan fashion, the old man
wagered his daughter. He lost. As
is customary among these Indians,
the girl did not object to her part
of the transaction and was taken
to the shanty of the American negro.
As the story goes, Christofo Zurello,
half-breed boss of a neighboring
farm, had wanted Mazda as a vile
for his son and was incensed when

THD!.[[E. DEMOCRATS
CHOSEN IN ORANGE
FOR COMMISSION
Given Control of New Body by
Voters at Special
Election.
MlNAHAN, WITH HIGH VOTE,
LOOMS UP FOR MAYoRAlTY
Murray, Kearney, Calhoun and
WethIing Other Successful
Candidates.

City Clerk Daniel F. Minahan had
the distinction of besting Mayor
Frank ]. Murray IN the election tor
the new city commission in orange
yesterday when three Democrats and
two Republicans were chosen to take
charge of the city for the next four
years under the preferential primary
method. The new commission Will
be made up of Messrs. Minahan and
Murray, Tax Assessor William F.
Kearney, former Council President
WllAam A. Calhoun and Harry D.
wethling, the last named new man
in politics.
A total vote of 1894 was poiled and
of these 164 were rejected. The fight
for first honors, which will probably
give the mayoralty to Mr.. Minahan,
was between the city clerk and the
Republican executive, Mayor Murray
When the totals were made up, II
was found that the former had tailed
zoos votes, according to unofficial
figures, while Mayor Murray's best
was 1881. Mr.. Kearney got 1.094, Mr
Calhoun, 1893, and Mr.. Wethllngi
1872. County Surrogate Isaac Shoen-
thai was sixth man in the race with
1,251 votes.
For a time it looked as if the sur
rogate, who is a former mayor, would
be within hailing distance of MT
Wethling. The result was in doubt
pending the arrival OF the ballot
boxes from the Second district of the
Fifth ward, which did not arrive at
the City Hall until after one o'clock.
Former Councilman Henry Ts Stet-
son was seventh man in the race with
1,21S votes and the balance of the
tifty-three candidates were strung
along with various totals, While a
batch of humorists added few
names to the long list, giving the
men vote apiece In the blank
spaces.
Majority for No Candidate.
None of the candidates secured a
majority. AS City Clerk Minahan Is
high man he will probably be desig-
mated mayor to succeed Mayor Muir
ray.
City Clerk Minahan will resign al
o special meeting of the Common
Council at $3.50 O'Clock tonight. The
official count of the election will then
be made. and the result announced:
Mr.. Minahan decided to resign after
consultation with 1flelluS. II Ndo iCA'
there might be some question of the
legality of his act in making an offi-
cial announcement of the result of the
election because of the fact that he Is
one of the candidates chosen.
The new mayor will receive s1,soo a
year and the other four commissioners
81, 500 each. 1t is expected no serious
changes will be made in the city Of
fees, save that "a successor Will be
chosen to Mr., Alinahan as city clerk.
Council President Owen P. Casey's
name was mentioned during the eve
ming as one of the candidates for the
vacancy.

broken was utterly d sproved yester-
day when the resident physician Of
the institution, on the stand, denied
