Camp Columbia. The first and fourth
battalions of thu same Teglment,
which urrlved In the afternoon, were

Palma Asked Intervention Sept. 8.
Secretary Root has made public
correspondence leading up to the in
terventlon by United States In Cuba
The corresnoudence took place be
tween Consul General Stelnhardt at
Havana and Acting Secretary Bacon
of the, state department. An Import
ant feature 'developed in the dis
patches was that Intervention was
asked by the Cuban government as
earlv as Sent. 8 and that as long ago
as Sept. 11 President Palma had de
termined to resign as president of the
republic, and that the vice president
and cabinet ministers had also de
termined to no longer continue In of
flee. It Is also shown that Interven
tion by the United States has long
been planned by the Palma govern

state department in a letter by Con
sul General Stelnhardt as early as
Sept. 5.
Collision on Boston & Maine.
Five passengers were killed out
right and a score of others seriously
Injured -In a roar-end collision between
a regular passenger train and a mill
tarv special on the Boston & Maine
raiiroad at Lansingburg, N. Y., three
miles north of Troy. Thursday.

around the curve was the nrst mum
ntlon of the approaching special.
which came thundering along with 18
cars on the steep grade and crashgu
Into the rear end of the standing pas
senger train, smashing the last two
cars, which were Pullmans, like egg
Bhells.
Both these cars rolled down the era
bankment Into the back yards of tene
ment houses. The engine of the spec
ial turned turtle, the tender backing
into the car behind and telescoping
It. There was a sudden hush and
then through the gathering dust rose
the cries of the Injured and dying.
The special was carrying four
troops of the 14th United States
Cavalry from Fort Ethan Allen to
Newport News, where they were to
embark for Cuba. The soldiers quick
lv began the work of rescue. Daylight
facilitated the operations and in a
comparatively short time most of those
Imprisoned in the wreckage were on
their way to Leonard hospital, one
block away.

vious best record in this respect hav
ing been held by Ihe New York club

elded until last week, the New York
team being within striking distance
of the leaders until October 3, when

of the running.

livered at upper lake ports, but this
price is to be increased of a cent

take out the ore annually until it is
exhausted.

JEWEL THEFT MYSTERY.
The Colombian GcvermentHas
Been Repeatedly Robbed.
Manuel Suarez Kept Under Surveil
lance by Agents of the Colombian
Government Story of the Dlsap
pearance of Express Package of Em
eralds Valued at $80,000.
New York, Oct. 9. Detectives
were posted at the doors of the Hotel
Breslln yesterday, and whenever a
certain middle-aged Spaniard left the
building they followed him. When he
returned they took up their watch
again at the exits. The sleuths wc;-e
obeying an order from London to keep
under surveillance Manuel Suarez ol
Colombia, South America, a passenger
on the Oceanic, who was arrested
when he arrived in New York last
Wednesday.
Suarez was released in custody ol
his counsel after his arrest on a
charge of attempting to smuggle into
the United States emeralds valued at
$20,000. The prisoner said he had In
tended to take the emeralds to the
custom house and pay the duty, be
lieving that in so doing he would con
form to the law. Commissioner Shields
will give him an examination.
It became known that the detectives
are confident that through the finding
of Suarez they will get light on more
than one mysterious robbery of em
eralds of which the Colombian govern
ment has been the victim.
From a most unexpected quarter
that of the Wells-Fargo Express com
pany facts have been supplied that
make Suarez a figure of great Interest.
About four years ago that company
sustained what was then called a
"loss" of emeralds valued at $80,000.
The package vanished in transit, it is
supposed, but at what point is a mys
tery. It was shipped from Bogota
Colombia, by a government agent. The
Wells-Fargo company became con
vinced that the jewels were stolen.
Their' clew led to suspicion against
certain employes of the Colombian
government, but to no definite knowl
edge.
The Colombian government learned
recently that a Spaniard was offering
emeralds for sale In London. This in
formation, added to the fact that the
Colombian government had been
robbed of emeralds to a large amount
within a year, caused the London
agent to become active. Some one
who learned that Suarez had sailed
for New York cabled the detectives
to keep him under surveillance.
Gas Comsumers' Application Denied.
New York, Oct. 9. Justice BIschoff
In the supreme court denied the appli
cations made on behalf of 127 gas
consumers for peremptory writs of
mandamus commanding the consoli
dated gas company to furnish them
with gas at the price of 80 cents per
1,000 cubic feet, in accordance with
the law passed by the legislature last
session. In his decision Justice BIsch
off says: "The respondent has pre
sented facts bv affidavit which would
support the conclusion that the statute
in question is unconstitutional, in that
obedience to its requirements would
so far reduce the earnings of the cap
ital invested in the actual property of
the corporation, taken at its reason
able value, as to amount to confisca
tion of the respondent's property, and
a taking without due process of law."

UErECTivt COILER TUBES.
Cccret Cervice Accnts Probe Charges
In Relation to New Battleships.
Pittubin , Oct. 5. Secret service
es'Mtls of the United State3 govern
ment, working under orders from tho
department of justice, are investigat
ing charges filed with Secretary of tho
Navy Bonaparte that the United States
government has been made the victim
of a gigantic fraud
It la charged that several of the
largest and most costly battleships in
the United States navy are equipped
with thousands of boiler flues which
were never subjected to the govern
ment tests and that many of them
were delivered to the government and
placed in the vessels after they had
been rejected a defective by the gov
ernment inspectors.
The warships directly Involved in
the charges are: New battleship
Maine, -battleship Georgia, armored
cruiser Colorado, armored cruiser
Pennsylvania.
The changes are against the boiler
flues placed In these vessels at the
time they were built, but also affect
nearly every vessel In the American
navy which has had flues Installed
since 1898.
The author of the charges, which
were submitted to Secretary Boifli-
parte through United States Senator
J. B. Foraker of Ohio, Is Frank L. E111-
mett of Sliarpsville, Pa., who was In
charge of the shipping department of
the Shelby Steel Tube company's
in 111 at Greenville, Pa., when this
company made the tubes for four war
ships. He confessed his part tn the
alleged fraud against the government
and swears to a statement containing
all the charges.
If the Investigation now being made
substantiates the charges made by Mr.
Emmett, it will probably mean several
million dollars' worth of boiler works
In the finest ships of the navy will
have to be furn out, as it is charged
that these vessels and every man
aboard them are In constant danger
of destruction because of the defects
In the tubes supplied to the govern
ment. Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Truman H. Newberry, who turned the
charges over to the department of
Justice for investigation, declares that
as a result of the charges he has sent
a warning to all government inspec
tors, telling them what is suspected,
without naming the mill to which the
charges apply. He said that he be
lieves it can safely be said that there
is a good prospect of somebody being
put where a repetition of the thefts
of government stumps to defraud the
government, as charged by Emmett,
will be an improbability.
Mr. Emmett, author of the charges,
confesses that as head of the shipping
and finishing department of the Shel
by Steel Tube mill, where the tubes
were made, he systematically deceived
the government inspectors and super
intended the covering up of defects in
tubes that had been rejected and
which were later used to fill govern
ment orders.
TWO SPEECHES IN THE RAIN.
President Roosevelt's Flying Trip to
Harrisburg and York, Pa.
Harrlsburg, Pa., Oct. 5. President
Roosevelt made a flying trip to Harrls
burg and York yesterday and In each
city he made a speech In the rain. At
both places he woro a dark rain coat
and light rubbers while speaking. The
president left Washington in a special
train in the morning in company with
United States Senators Penrose and
Knox of Pennsylvania and returned to
the national capital at night. He en-
Joyed the trip and, except for a slight
hoarseness, he did not suffer from the
rain.
At Harrlsburg the president dollv
ered the oration at the dedication of
the beautiful new slate Capitol, which
has Just been completed at a cost of
$13,000,000. After his speech there
and a hurried inspection of tho Cap!
tol the president was entertained by
Governor Pennypacker at luncheon.
Shortly before 3 o'clock tho presi
dent left for York, where he visited
the county fair grounds aud was driv
en around the race track. The rain
fell during the drive and the presi
dent's face was bespattered with mud
when he left his carriage and mounted
a small platform from which he made
the second speech.
The streets of York over which tho
party passed wero crowded and the
president was given a continuous ova
tion. At tho conclusion of his speech
ho boarded the train for Washington.
Find Plot to Kill a Governor.
Harrlsburg, Pa., Oct. 8. An Infernal
machine, sent through tho malls to
Governor Pennypacker, was discovered
In the executive mansion. In a small
box was a cartridge shell surrounded
fiv black powder, so arranged as to ex
olodo when the box was opened. Tho
appearance of the box aroused the sus
picions of the governor s clerks, who
threw it Into water before opening It
Win niicd about the box were new clip
pings, apparently from anarchists'
magazines. The construction of the
machine was not such as to have ren
dered it necessarily fatal had it ex
ploded.
Ban on Slates and Sponges.
Cleveland, Oct. 8. The use of
slates and sponges in the primary
grades of the public schools has been
forbidden by Health Ofllcer Frledrlch.
"About two years ago I forbade tho
uso of sponges." said he. but I learn
from the district physicians that they
are again used. The slato, too, is a
nuisance, and it is only because of tho
extreme conservatism of tho school
board Uiat it has not been done away
with long ago.

WOMEN WIN SCHOOL VICTORY.
Caldwell to Have a New School Build
ing to Cost $27,0000.
Montclalr, N. J., Oct. 9. Women
carried the day at a special school
meeting held In Caldwell. At least
one hundred of them exercised their
prerogative of voting on school mat
ters, according to the laws of New Jer
sey, and they applauded vigorously
and waved their handkerchiefs when
the result was announced, bringing a
long drawn out school fight to a suc
cessful close. A large influx of New
York business men in recent years
has caused a demand for greatly in
creased school facilities, but this was
opposed by many native residents,
among them not a few local business
men.
At last the progressive element suc
ceeeded la bringing the question
iquarely before the people. The sit
uation had become so bitter, owing to
a division of popular sentiment, that
tho New Yorkers threatened to with
draw their trade from local store
keepers and transfer it to Montclalr.
This has now all been settled by a
vote In favor of the purchase of a plot
of ground for a new school at Per
sonette street and KIrkwood place and
the erection of a building at a cost of
$27,000. The money will be raised by
a bond issue, which was also author
ized at the meeting.
