them, there were; but, with
the tide going strong. they noated out
Of the narrow neck OF the lagoon and
were out of our sight within the first
few moments after we had consigned
ttsm 20 the waters.
There. under the troplc moon. we
committed to the deep the three white
men and their slain assailants, while
( muttered to the silver waters that
closed over them such portions OF the
burial service as ] could remember.
When looked up 1t was to see
shanafclt staring open mouthed at
some 'ng beyond me. My alarmed
glance followed his and l saw q small
schooner rounding the curve Of the
island. the water ripping phosphores-
ssHtly under her keel as she glided on
WITH only her topsails set.
A sudden fear assailod me. 7 glanced
down at the boat which hal brought
the black men. IL carried 10 provi-
sions, no water. no arms. Evidently.
~,
as I had at first imagined, but a boat
that had recently put off from its ship.
That ship could be no other than the
one which now slid along on the far
side Of the reef. A hail came across
the water.
None of us had troubled 10 look at
the stern of the boat. but now l did
no and saw there the name:
TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE,
Port au Prince.
Perhaps. had | not as a Journalist
been In touch with the news OF the
world. the name OF the ship painted
on the stern of the boat ght have
meant nothing to me. AS 1t was, /
knew that n ship with such a name
could only be one owned and manned
by negroes; for Toussaint LOWER
ture was the Haytian Bolivar--or
Washington. II you llke-who had set
up the first and only negro republic
In the world.
Evidently some one aboard that
schooner had been to this island be-
fore. had found pearls here. and had
gone back to fit out an expedition.
They had come here for the same
purpose as ourselves and wished to
share the fortune with no white man.
The hail from the schooner came
again. but 1t was still indlstingulsh-
able.

nounced Thursday that he had re-
fused an offer from broker repre-
senting the British Government for
slS.O00.0oo worth of high explosive
shells to be used by England and her
allies. He says he was offered the
order all or in part there being about
100000 shells to be delivered at
SIS each.
He says there would have been a
profit of about $4,000. 900 had he ia
ken the order. He gave as reason
for refusing the order that he did
not want to risk losing domestic bus
mess for the sake of making a little
extra money in the war game.

AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT
WILL RECALL mr.. DUMBA
On the Plausible Excuse That
They Need Him For
Consultation.

Washington. Sept. 1S.-The Aus
TRAN government intends to recall
Ambassador Dumba for consultation
according to limitations given Il
Ambassador Penfield when he deliv-
cred the note from the United States
asking for the return of the Ambas-
sador to Austria.
Such an arrangement which is in
accord with Ambassador Dumba s
own request for recall on leave of
absence Is satisfactory to the Ameri-
can Government. 1t is understood,
however, that Ambassador Dumba.
would not return to the United
States at the termination of his
leave. The purpose of these ar
rangements, it is understood. is to
cause no interruption in, the diplo-
matte relations of the two govern
ments. the change being looked upon
as a personal affair.
There is every indication from
Ambassador Penneld's dispatches
that the Austrian government re-
oeived the American note in friendly
spirit and looks upon it as the usual
request of a government for the re-
call of an ambassador on the ground
that his usefulness to his own gov
eminent would be impaired by his
continued presence.
1t is now expected that Ambassa-
dor Dumba will receive word from
his own foreign office that he is
wanted in Vienna for consultation.
The United States will arrange safe
and with the Austrian en-
bassy left in charge of a charge daft
fairies the incident will be closed.

New York, Sept 1S..--Secrctary of
State Lansing. representing the UnH-
Cd States Government. and the dirip-
matte representatives of Drazil.
Chile. Argentina. Bolivia. Uruguay
and Guatemala. resolved at their
meeting here to-day that the tue
had come for the extension of for
NAL recognition to~a governnynnt iii
Mexico.
Three weeks from to-day another
rIeeting of the conference viii he
held in Washington, at which de-
c!sion is to be reached as to the Gle
nents upon which recognition should
be conferred. A formal state,oea-
issued by the conference declared
tnat inasmuch as the factions thc:.:-
selves had failed to come to AN
agreement. recognition would be ac-
corded to the de facto authorities
possessing the material and moral
capacity necessary to protect the
lives and property of nationals and
foreigners"
Each of the several Governments,
1t was announced. would itself
Judge such capacity, and recogni-
tion will likewise be extended by
each Government separately at such
time as it may deem proper"
Unless the military situation in
Mexico takes a decided turn within
the next three weeks in favor of
General Villa. who has concentrated
his forces for battle with General
Obregon. the Carranza Commander
in-Chief at Torreon, most of the con-
ferees are Of the opinion that the
Carranza government would logically
be entitled to recognition.
The several governments will, en-
deavor to learn, however. not only
what territoy each faction controls.
but what promise of stability the
factions give that aspire to recogni-
ton. To determine exactly what is
the status of the different factions.
the several Governments will ex-
anime the situation, each In It's own
way.
The United States will seek to
form its judgment on long and ex-
haustive reports from it's Consuis,
supplemented by personal confer
ences in Washington between Secre-
tary Lansing and representatives of
all groups and elements. They viii

claims. and members of the Pan
American Conference can attend

IAN Governments to join the Uaited
States in such a course.
