The telegram was Inform ally brought to the attention of Secretary of the Interior Smith , nnd a copy of U was Im mediately sent 'o the War department for the Information of the officials there , U Is not likely that either the secretary of the Interior or the War department will take any notion In the matter until Captain Beck has lieen hard from further. Tito fact that the "War department formally refuted to allow the use of United Stales troops makes the In terior department hesitate to submit a similar request nt this time. The officials of the In dian office very much doubt whether the In junction of a state court can supersede de cisions of the United States courts , which liavo been favorable to Agent Beck. The telegram from Beck will be officially sub mitted to the secretary of the Interior tomor row morning. LINCOLN , July 18.

WASHINGTON , July 18. The State department - ment has received from Minister Donby at Peking a dispatch dated June 1.1 , concerning tlio late republic of Formosa. He transmits a tranilatlon of the official declaration of the Independence of Formosa , and says : "The republic will go Into history as the most short-lived government that ever existed. The Japanese have already taken Kcallng , which Is only eighteen miles from the capital , Tarpelfu , and order there will soon he re stored. Ex-Governor Tang was Inaugurated on the 25th of May , and he and his cabinet have already left the Island , anil It Is ques tionable whether the people are at all concerned - corned at the changa of the government of the Island , The movement for Independence was organized by the officials. There were 50.000 Chinese troope In Formosa , and they are all armed , but will not light. .Many of these braves are now In Amoy fighting foreigners. The forts at Keall , or Keallng , were , as Is usual with Chinese forts , Indefensible In the rear , though they were very strong on the sea slda , and were provHcd with Armstrong , Krupp nnd machine guns. " The Formosan declaration recites that the Japanese hare affronted China by annexing Formosa ; that the people are resolved to die before they will serve the enemy , nnd have determined In council to convert Formosa Into a republican state. It Is stated that fre quent conferences have been hell with foreign powers , who holJ that the people of Formosa must establish their Independence before the powers will assist them. CAUHUI ) IIY TillHIIPl'lND OP A PIN Accident to tlio I'.rlfHinn Slmlllur to Our \Vlilrh Iliippunnil lluforr. WASHINGTON , July 18. As understood from the meager data supplied by Lieutenant Usher's telegram to the Navy department , the Injury sustained by the torpedo boat Ericsson on her speed run yesterday con sisted of the wrecking of ono of the starboard engines. It Is believed that the pn ! holding In phc.i the nut which retains the piston of the starboard low pressure engine on Its rod became displaced and smashed the big cylinder. A similar accident occurred last fall to the port engine and the repairs con sumed many months , as It was necessary to make two castings before a sound cylinder could bo secured. A careful investigation will be made to determine whether the last ac cident resulted from bad material and work manship or too light construction , or from the forcing of the engines beyond their capacity. It Is scarcely believed at the Navy depart ment that the Ericsson was running at the rate of twenty-eight knots when the smash came , as reported , hut If this Is true. It Is said by naval officers that she must have been carrying a far greater pressure than would be permitted on a regular trial trip by the naval regulations. These provide that at no time shall the pressure exceed by more than 10 per cent the' working pressure designed , and It Is said at the 'department that by no possibility could a cpeed of twenty-elghl knots be obtained with such a pressure of steam In a boat designed to- run at twenty- four knots.

But It didn't take the. Omahas long to blast these fond hopes when they once got started , and they quickly piled up their cus tomary pyramid of errors.
