Out of 12,000,000 American families

There is an international interest
to the reported increase in the Ameri-

sylvania maker has just filled a con-
tract for a 15-ton supply of the great
German delicacy. Germans have long
maintained that lack of appreciation
or such food varieties as theirs was re-
sponsible for American dyspepsia. Is
the sauerkraut market to furnish the

United States Force Take Charge of

EVERY TRAIN IS NOW GUARDED.
Postponement of the Bombardment, Which
Had Been Expected, Has Restored Quiet
and Good Order in the City, and the Rush
of Fore'gners to Take Refuge on the War-
ships Has Ceased.
Colon, (By Cable).—An armed
guard of marines from the United
States battleship Towa landed Monday
and has re-established transit across the
isthmus, which had been temporari-
ly obstructed. Details of the Iowa’s ma-
rines are now protecting each passen-
ger train.
There has been fierce fighting at Em-
pire Station, on the railroad line between
Panama and Colon, between the insur-
gents and the troops of the Colombian
government, with very heavy losses on
both sides.
At a conference held at 1 o'clock on
board the British cruiser Tribune, at
which Gen. Ignacio Feliaco, Senor de la
Rosa, secretary of General Diaz, and the
‘commanders of the foreign warships
were present, the General agreed, at the
request of the naval commanders, and
on the ground of humanity, having in
view the large foreign population of
Colon, not to land troops here or open
fire on the town before 6 o'clock Friday
evening.
The Colombian gunboat General Pin-
zon is badly off for provisions, and the
commanders of all the warships agreed
to supply her with the necessary stores.
The gunboat has not yet returned to
Colon, and her whereabouts is unknown.
ATTEMPT TO BURN STEAMER?
Match Heads and Cannom Crackers Found
in Her Cargo.
Pensacola, Fla, (Special). —What
seems to have been an attempt to burn
the British steamer Cayo, 2,223 tons,
which is loading a cargo of 16,000 bales
of cotton for Bremen, was discovered
here.
The plan was frustrated by one of the
cotton screw men at work in the hold of
the vessel finding a quantity of heads of
matches. About 10,000 bales of cotton
had been placed in the vessel when the
discovery was made. This led to an in-
vestigation, and about 20 cannon crack-
ers 12 inches in length were found jam-
med between the heads of the cotton.
In each instance matches had ben placed
in the heads of the cannon crackers ad-
joining the stem, with the heads protrud-
ing in such a manner that slight friction
would strike the matches and ignite the
cannon crackers. :

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR. Jy
Secretary Hitchcock Submits Hig’ Annual
Report—The Indians.
Washington, D. C, (Special).—The
annual report of Secretary Hitchcock,
of the Interior Department, just made
public, indorses the conclusions submit-
ted by Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Jones regarding the present Indian edu-
cational system. The Secretary says:
“The management of the Indian serv-
ice in the field and in the schools, while
satisfactory under existing conditions, is
not deemed to be the best for the wel-
fare of the Indians, and different meth-
ods will heteafter be adopted. This
policy contemplates requiring the work-
ing by Indian allettees able to do so of |
a fa
ir portion of lands alloted them and
the contributing by their industry to
their own support of all not entirely dis-
qualified by actual disability, physical
or otherwise, the discontinuance of the
issue of rations to those able to sup-
port themselves and the extension to the
latter of every possible aid for their
well-being and encouragement; the in-
stitution of industrial training in all
schools where not now established so
that such Indians of both sexes may be
taught the trades or industries adapted
to their circumstances.”
The income of the various Indian
tribes from all sources during the ycar
aggregated $5,338,880, a falling off of
$260,952, due mostly to the expiration
of treaty obligations.
The curriculum of Indian schools, the
Secretary says, should be restricted to
the common school course and the furth-
er extension of non-reservation schools
should not be permitted.
The Dawes Commission to the Five
Civilized Tribes in Indian Territory re-
ports that the rolls of membership of
only one nation—the Seminocles—so far
haev been approved and their lands have
not yet been entirely allotted. There is
a vast amount of labor yet to be per-
formed by the commission in investi:
gating the claims of applicants for en-
rollment and equalizing the value of the
lands already classified, and Secretary
Hitchcock recommends that the commis-
sion be increased by four members. He
also favors a modification of the law re-
quiring distribution of lands on the
basis of equalized valuation and that 3
definite period be fixed for the comple
tion of all the work pertaining to the
allotment of lands among the Indians
in the Territory.
TREACHERY CHECKED IN LUZON.
American Negroes Said to Have United With
Filipinos to Attack Maulau.
Manila, (By Cable.)—It has beer
officially reported to Gen. Chaffee
that the insurgent leader Caballos hat
500 fully armed men, including a numbet
of American negroes, under his com
mand in Laguna province, Luzon.
An insurgent officer has just been cap-
tured carrying papers dated Mauban,
Laguna province, Nov. 18, and signed
by Caballos.
The prisoner admits that Caballos has
1000 men with him and contemplated
attacking Mauban.
The patrolling gunboats along Samar
have captured over $20,000 in cash and
$100,000 worth of hemp, upon which a
tax had been paid to the insurgents, has
ben confiscated. The system of taxation
and the collection of ‘taxes maintained
by the insurgent leader Lukban was per-
fect and exhaustive in every particular.
Hemp was the most important feature
of commerce. Two per cent. of its price
was given to the local presidentes, who

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS,
Plans for Isthmian Canal.
Unless the unexpected happens Con.
gress will this winter vote to construct
the Nicaraugua canal at a cost of $189,-
000,000.
This is for two great harbors—one
| ‘at Greytown, on the Atlantic or Carib-
bean end of the canal, and the other at
Brito, at the Pacific end—for a canal of
{ -eight locks, and for an enormous dam
. :at Conchuda, on the San Juan river,
several miles above the mouth of the San
Carlos river.
The Greytown harbor and entrance
‘to the canal will cost $2,196,860, and the
.Brito harbor and entrance will cost $1,-
The Greytown harbor half a
century ago had a depth of 50 feet of
water. It is now only a little better than
-a lagoon, with half the depth, and light-
-ers bearing cargoes from ships anchor-
ed in the offing have to cross a bar that
carries less than six feet of water.
As the canal should have a depth of
35 feet, it is necessary that the harbor
and ‘entrance should have the same. It
1s proposed to have harbors at each end
of the canal, protected by jetties 3,500
feet long. These jetties wall be con
structed of loose stome and will be six
feet above the water. The entrance will
be 500 feet wide and of 35 feet depth.
Much more dredging will be neces-
sary at Greytown than at Brito. The
sand movement at Brito will be less
than at Greytown and the com ~~ ar
tenatice will be ar less. ~ ein "the
harbors there will LN turning basin of
