There is an international interest to the reported increase in the Ameri- can demand for sauerkraut. A Penn- 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.

Cable). —An armed Colon, (By : guard of marines from the United States battleship Iowa 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 Canncen 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 coiton. In each instance matches had ben placed in the héads 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.

Secretary Hitchcock Submits His 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 olicy contemplates requiring the work- ing by Indian allottees able to do so of a fair 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 year 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 Seminoles—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 gdting 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 2 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 has 500 fully armed men, including a number 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 go the local presidentes, who Bi . R Siang Ss 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 enormmous 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,- 509,470. 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 "is proposed to have harbors at each end of the canal, protected by jetties 3.500 feet long. These jetties will he con- structed of loose stomie rand will he six feet above the water. The entrance will be 500 feet wide and of 35 feet depth. Much more dredging wil} be necces- sary at Greytown than at Brito. The sand movement at Brito will be less than at Greytown and the cost of main- tenance will be far less.
