SALISBURY'S ' NOTE TO THE AMBASSADOR Detention of the Kidnapped Mnii AVnit Looked Upon by the Ilrllluk Go'crninrnt IIH nn Uu- I frlciull } ' Act. LONDON , Oct. 23. The marquis of Sails- tmry has demanded the Immediate release of Sun Yat Sen , the Chinese physician , said to bo a British subject , who was. according to the statement of his friendskidnaped whllo pas&lng the Chinese legation hero and who Is held as a prisoner In the le gation on the charge of having been en gaged In n conspiracy to overthrow the Mnnchu dynasty. A complete cordon of dctcctlvcswas _ _ formed around the Chlncso legation , the om- corn being ordered to seize Sun Yat Sen and release him If ho should bo brought out. out.Tlio Tlio marquis of Salisbury , after reading n number of aflldavlta In the case , sent a Btrongly worded letter to the Chlncso envoy pointing out that the method adopted by the legation In arresting Sun Yat Sen was distinctly not needed , as the courts wcro open to the Chinese officials to obtain any criminal for legal purposes. The premier also bald that ho could not fall to point out that tlio act savored of unfriendliness as a eccintng violation of the right of asy lum to which England was committed by ovcry tradition and belief ; and ho asked the envoy to Immediately release the Impris oned Chlncman and so avoid further un pleasantness. Later In the day Sir Halllday Macartney , the counsellor of the Chinese legation , called at the Foreign ofllco and said that Sun Yal Sen would bo released without prejudice to the rights of the legation which wcro Involved. An Inspector of police and Sun Yat Sen's friend. Dr. Cantllo , who first raised the question of the Chinaman's Imprisonment , went to the Chinese legation at 4:30 : p. ta. with a letter from the Foreign olllce , and not long afterward they emerged from a dido door with Sun Yat Sen , entered a cab and drove to the Foreign office , where Sun Yat Sen made a formal statement. The release was witnessed by a largo crowd of people. A representative of the Associated press was this afternoon Informed that In official circles the detention of Sun Yat Sen at the Chinese lega'ton was regarded as a "mon strous abuse of privileges of the legation which could not bo tolerated for a moment. " It appears that Sir Halllday Macartney , on receiving the marquis of Salisbury's note , went to the bcdsldo of the Chinese minister , who Is In 111 health , and explained to him that the marquis of Salisbury Insisted upon the release of Sun Yat Sen. The Chinese minister thereupon cabled to Peking for In structlons and , on the receipt of an answer Sun Yat Sen was released. The newspapers continue printing Indig nant comment on the case. The Globe this afternoon says : "Tho deepest resentment would bo felt against any government which permitted this outrage upon a man who has como to London for protection to go un- rcdresscd. The Chlncso embassy must under stand that public opinion will not allow legal notion to abrogate protection. " James Can tile , who brought , the case to the notice of the authorities here , says In an Interview today that ho know Sun Ynt Sen Intimately In Hong Konc during the year JSS7. Ho adds that the Chinaman came to London on his advlro In order to pursue his medical studies , as ho was In trouble with the Chlncso government. Dr. Cantllo saw Sun Yat Sen in Honolulu last March am saw him dally here. Continuing , Dr. Cantlli said : "I received Information on the 1711 that Sun Yat Sen was a prisoner and abou to bo sent to China , where ho would bo be headed. " TAKEN BY FORCE. After his release Sun Yat Sen. In an In tervlow , denied that he entered the Chines legation of his own accord , as asserted b > the Chinese officials. Ho said ho was pats Ing the Chlncso legation , which at the tlin ho did not know as the Chinese official head quarters In London , when ho met a China man with whom ho got Into conversation The stranger. In the course of n chat will Sun Yat Sen. said ho also came from Can ton , and walking along they soon met nn other Chinaman , who , It appears , cmcrgei from the legation and was Introduced tc Bun Yat Sen by the first Chinaman , wlic was the Interpreter of the Chlncso legation and who la named Tang. After talking i llttlo the party was Joined by nnothc Chinaman and Tang thereupon left. Contln utng , Sun Yat Sen said : "Wo then returnee nnil passing the legation the two remaining Chinamen asked mo to enter , llcforo ' could reply they pushed mo Insldo the dee and slammed It behind me. Once lnsld < the building , I was forced upstairs to thi fourth story by my companions , who were big men and who locked mo In a room Almost Immediately afterward a gentleman ( described as bring Sir Halllday MacCart noy ) entered and said : 'You are In China now. ' Ho asked mo If my name was Sun Yat Son , and when I acquiesced ho said h arrostejl me upon Information received from the Chlncso minister at Washington , whi had cabled the legation hero that Sun Ya Sen was on the Majestic. " "Tho next day , " continued Sun Yat Sen "Tang appeared nnd said : 'Everything 1 settled ; wo are going to gag nnd bind you nnd carry you out at night on board a slil wo have chartered , probably a Gleii liner as MacCartnoy la a friend of the captain. " 'If wo can't Bimtgglo you away , wo can lilll you as this Is China' ( meaning the le gallon ) . " Sun Yat Sen further said , In reply to ques tlons on the subject , that ho was provide with food when he asked for It , and It seem his friends succeeded In cominunlcatln with him through the English servants o the legation by means of notes hlddc among the coals.

Ir Jnllnn I'ntinrrfoto VlnKn Mr. Olner irltli Vnlitnlilc Information. WASHINGTON , Oct. 23. It can be stated authoritatively that the proposals which Sir ullan Paunccfoto Is authorized by .the British Foreign office to present to the State department embraces the entire Venezuelan question , and the question of a general rcaty between the United States nnd Great Irltnln , whereby all future disputes will jo submitted to arbitration. The nature of ho proposals Is such that It Is believed the dispute over Venezuela is much nearer a Inal solution than at any time since the rouble bczan. Sir Julian Paunccfote called at the State Icpartmcnt today. Owing to this being cab. net day Sir Julian and the secretary had only ten minutes' conference. The ambas sador carried a Inrgo roll of documents , which he left for the careful perusal of the secretary. From the bulk of the documents It Is supposed that they were made up In largo part of data respecting the extent of the Qrlttsh Individual Interest in the disputed joundary territory. Information which Soc- ictary OIncy has all along sought from tlio British side. If this troublesome phase of .ho boundary dispute can bo adjusted satis factorily , there is llttlo doubt In view of the statement given out by tbo Urltlsh Foi- elgn offlco after Sir Julian's recent confer ence with Lord Salisbury and Mr. Cham berlain to the effect that Sir Julian "has returned to Washington with certain In structions , and negotiations will bo re opened Immediately on his arrival , but It Is too early to say whether or not the pro posals of the Drltlsh government ore likely to bo accepted" that the main question In dlvcuto can bo speedily settled. It can be stated positively that no notes or negotiations of any kind have passed be tween Secretary Olncy and Lord Salisbury since Juno 22 last , although reports to the contrary have appeared. The present ne gotiations will bo resumed at the point where they were suspended at that date. Mr. Olncy's final proposal on June 22 was that , so far as Venezuela was concerned , It should bo embraced In a treaty of ar bitration separate from the general treaty of arbitration. Ho Insisted , however , that Venezuelan arbitration was a prerequisite to any general arbitration and that the arbitration should be final and embrace all the territory In dispute , settled as well as unsettled , .Great Lrltaln being opposed to Including Iho settled districts. In view of the statement of the Foreign ofllco that the proposals about to bo made give hope of a final settlement It seems likely that Lord Salisbury's answer to Mr. Olncy's prop osition of Juno 22 will bo favorable or In the line of compromising the difference on details. The call of Sir Julian on Secretary Olncy today was ono of courtesy to present his respects after hla arrival and the question of arbitration was not taken up , oxccpt that arrangements wcro made for n formal mcoMng at the earliest moment Mr. Olncy might suggest.

The prolonged rainy season Is retarding the active campaign and Is undoubtedly favorable to tho' Insurgent movements. The movement of the Insurgent forces from the eastern part of Santiago de Cuba and from the province of Puerto Prlnclpo to the central part of the Island commenced over three weeks ago. Captain Gcnreal Weylcr has not decided to go personally Into the province of Pln.tr del Rio and there assume direction of the operations against the enemy. In tho. firs't place , ho thinks he Is better able to direct the movements of the troops from Havana , where ho has nil resources and Is able to communicate moro easily with tbo rest of the Island. Captain General Wcylcr has Issued a proclamation containing the following pro visions : First All of the Inhabitants In tbo coun try or outeldo the lines of fortifications of tbo towns must betake themselves to the towns occupied by troops within a pcrloi of eight days. Those who arc found outside the towns after the expiration of that pcrloi will be considered rebels und will bo trlci as such. Second The withdrawal of groceries from the towns Is absolutely prohibited and alsi the transportation of them by sea , or lam without a permit from the military .author ! ties. Violators of this provision arc to bi tried and punished as alders of the rebels. Third Owners of cattle must carry then to towns or provide Immediately that they shall receive duo protection. Fourth Eight days after the publication of this proclamation all rebels surrendering In ovcry municipality will bo subject to th captain general's disposal to order them where to reside and It will bo a commcndn tlon In their favor for them to give avail able news about the enemy and to sur render with thplr firearms , and , moreover , to surrender collectively In their organizations Fifth The proclamation Is only enforce able In the province of Plnar del Rio. The Insurgents during the last two weeks have been continuing the work of dovasta tlon , particularly In the province of Matan zas , where they have reduced to ashes clgh tobacco and sugar plantations , together iwltl many farm houses and huts of laborers , the total valiio being about $2,000,000.

About half of yes terday's heavy break in wheat was regained today. From start to finish the market was a bundle of nerves that quickly cave way on slight provocation. The traders wcro very cautious today. The downward move ment was checked by an unexpectedly firm ret of cables from Liverpool , accompanied Ijy a goodly array of foreign buying , which absorbed all the early offerings and Inspired local houses to follow suit. The result was a Jump of 2',4 cents In first prices to 79 % cents for December , followed "quickly by a further rise to SO'4 cents. At noon tight money reports and declining ca h prices In the northwest led to active selling and a 1-ccnt decline. From this point there was an Irregular advance during the afternoon to SOV4 cents , helped by San Francisco ad vices reporting another cargo taken for Calcutta. A slight setback In the last few minutes nnd It closed nervous nt SO',4 cents , or 2 ! < , ( ? ? 2 % cents above last night , the great est advance beingon near months.

There the robbers commanded the messenger to open the door ot the car , threatening to break In the door should he refuse. After some delay the robbers were admitted to the ex press car. They compelled the messenger to open the safe and extracted from It ccv- crol packages. The express messenger , however , had surmised what the trouble was. Whllo the bandits had been demandIng - Ing admission , he had quickly opened the safe , taken out tha money packages , and tossed them Into n chicken coop. When ho finally admitted the robbers to the car and opened the safe for them the strong box contained but two or thrco packets of Jewelry. Even at the point of the robbers' plstcls and rides the messenger insisted that he had carried no currency. Taking up the very * little booty at hand , the outlaws uncoupled the express car from the coach following It , and then marched their prisoners forward to the locomotive , where they compelled them to sit down on the bank alongside the track. The leader climbed Into the cab , tried the air and the steam , and then called to the men who wcro back guarding the passen ger coaches to como forward. At this Junc ture the engineer cautioned the bandit to bo careful with the locomotive , warning htm that they wcro. on a hill , and that If ho left the engine Improperly guarded at the top of the hill , It would crash back Into the train , or else , if left on the oppo site grade , crash down Into the train sup posed to be waiting at Independence. The bandit said he would take care of the loco motive. With this the outlaws pulled out , having held up the train without having fired a shot. They ran the locomotive sev eral miles , to within a mlle of Independence , where they abandoned It. It was two hours before the robbery bcc'amo known. The passengers on the tralni did not know what htdt causea the dclayTiSiatllli'fnoarly' ' * two Cours afterwards , , and amused themselves during the"long stop l > y taking a straw pres idential ballot. As soon as a party of the trainmen c'&uld walk to Independence the alarm was sent out. A deputy sheriff and posse left Inde pendence at about 8 oclock tonight , and at about the same time the squad of police men was detailed from here nnd left for the scene of the robbery on a special train. It Is thought , however , that the out laws are now safely out of tha way. So far as can bo learned , the robl/crs secured only the packets of Jewelry and $25 In cur rency , which the fireman had left in his vest , hanging In the cab. Hewjnuch mpncy the messenger saved by throwing It Into the chicken coop the express qfllcers will not sas' . ' There have been three holdups In Blue Cut. The James gang held up a train here In ISSf. A. J. Fell of Roodhousc. 111. , was the conductor In charge of the train. James Wetton and A. n. Post of Slater , Mo. , wcro on the locomotive as engineer and fireman , respectively. The United States Express company's messenger was Andrew Shields of St. Louis. Fiom Interviews had with several of the passengers after their arrival hero It ap pcara that only a lew of the passengers on the train knew anything about the robbery until some time after It was all over and the outlaws had departed. Thrco or four stopped out upon the platforms after the train came to n stop and started to walk forward. The bandits on guard told them to get back into the coaches and they climbed aboard the smoking car. The vvbolo affair was so quietly conducted that oxen these men , though they wcro BUS plcloua enough to get ur.der cover without being told a second time , were not sure that tbo train was In the hands ot road agents. CHICAGO , Oct. 23. A. Wygant , general agent of the United States Express company , said tonight that the train that was held up never carried much money. None was shipped from Chicago by It , and what there was in the express car must have been small sums from way stations. The amount In the express car would not exceed $2,000 In his opinion. W1TIII1UAWAL OK" VHCASUIIY COLIJ. Thirteen Hundred Thouxiinil Titke.ii for California Account. NEW YORK , Oct. 23. The speculative equilibrium In Wall street was disturbed In the late , afternoon today by the announce ment that Laldlaw & Company , an influential banking house , acting as agents for the Bank of California , had withdrawn from the subtrcasury $1,300,000 In exchange for greenbacks. This being the first substantial withdrawal since the termination of the gold export movement , It created a decidedly unfavorable Impression on the part ot the traders , and stocks reacted all along the line. The firm positively re fused to discuss the subject of the withdrawal. In the absence of defi nite news on the subject , It was sug gested . that the withdrawal was for the purpose of strengthening the gold reserve ot the Dank of California , also that tbo gold was for account of a largo California capitalist. The heaviest previous withdrawal of gold recently was that of $000,000 by Kubn , Loeb & Company , and the firm re placed the coin hero today. It could not bo learned whether the coin would be Bhlpped out of town or would bo left tem porarily In the safe dcpoalt vaults , where It now lies. Ne.vvn for the Army. WASHINGTON , Oct. 23.

KENTUCKIANS RESENT THE INSUtV Vile Knlllicdi SlionU-il In III" ICnrsj KKICM nnil Clirnr HuH * Hurlcil I nt Him liy the Krcc I Sllvcrltoii. CINCINNATI , Oct. 23. The Insult to thj secretary of the United Statea treasury , John G. Carlisle , by men of his native state nnd city is the leading topic of conversa * tlon today. While accounts differ as to the degree of brutality manifested by those la the hall and on the street around the build * Ing , thcro Is no dispute as to the bitterness of the feeling manifested. Secretary Carlisle was purposely detained In the hall by his friends In the hope that the outside crowd would disperse , but aa soon as Carlisle discovered this he Insisted on going out Immediately. Then a police escort was provided and by main force a passage to the street was obtained. Vila epithets were then showered at the sec retary , and ono man , John Pagan , threw a lighted cigar In his face and stopped ae 1C to pick up a moro formidable missile. Ho was promptly seized by the police , but was discharged , no ono preferring a charge. Secretary - rotary Carlisle , on reaching Mr. Helm's door , thanked the chief of police for the protec tion afforded. Secretary Carlisle found himself the cen ter of widespread attention today In const. . . qucnco of tlio gross Indignity offered him thirl- ; his speech on Thursday night la Odd Fellows' hall In Covlngton. The llrst Indications came In calls from friends nuq neighbors anxious to assure him of then detestation of the outrage. Later message * began to arrlvo showing that similar feet * Ing exIsteJ In other uortlous of the state. At length Mr. Carlisle was obliged to deny himself to callers to enable him to get th rest ho needed nnd to attend to his correx spondcnce. The feeling In Covlngton , ai well as In Cincinnati , ran high as the mat ter was discussed. The Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce , regardless of political partisanship , called n special meeting and appointed n commit tee to give Mr. Carlisle a most urgent In vitation to visit the Chamber of Comincrco before ho returns to Washington. The feelIng - Ing that prompted the meeting was that the members wanted an opportunity to show the secretary of the treasury ibo hlgir icgard In which ho Is held by the Ciiambcr of Commerce. In addition to this a largo delegation of gold democrats from Walnut Hill called to urge the secretary to glvo them nn address and to allow them to tcs- . tlfy their appreciation by giving him a bc-i coming hearing. To nil requests fdi , speeches Mr. Carlisle was obliged to glvo a refusal , as the five speeches ho has prom ised to clvo In Kentucky fully occupy all tbo time he can spare from his public du ties. i Speaking of last night's occurrcnco thi secretary regarded It as moro than an acci dental occurrence. In his opinion It was an organized mob. "I did not know dur ing "my speech that any such thing ha > ] been done. Of course I saw the disorder Iq the hall. It came from a lot of men than had gathered In the roar ot the hall. Tha body ot tbo house was decent and well be haved. Indeed many ladles wcro present. I heard nlso tbo iiolso in the street/ but did not know what It was. I did nor speak to the mob but once. I saw It dlcj no good. I was still in Ignorance of wha { was going on outside the hall , though my , friends secerned to bo advised of it. They , kept detaining mo In various ways until at last I asked why wo did not go. Then thojj told mo that a crowd was gathered outside ) the hall and they wero. waiting until lc' should disperse. When I heard that I salt ) I was going and wo started. When I got ) to the door I saw the crowd there. Thoyj had been waiting purposely thcro all thu time. Thcro was a rush and It was wltn' great dlfllculty that wo got out of the build ing and along the streets. They followed us until within a square of Air. Hclra'j house , when the police formed a line across } the street and stopped further progress. 'j "Tho gathering outside the hall , the folV lowing of those 200 or 300 men for several squaics through the streets was not a mcrq accident ; It was an organized affair. " 11 To a wish expressed that better trcaU mcnt awaited him at the speeches he Id yet to make , ho replied : "It makes llttla difference to me. It is an Illustration t > t what may be expected everywhere If tha principles of the Chicago platform prevail.1 Personal indignity and even personal vloV lencc will hurt those who attempt It nioro. than It can harm me. " The secretary left tonight In order to meet his engagement at Bowling Grecn Ky. , tomorrow. i MAUCUS DALY F.XI'LAIXS A IIUMOI | ( ( DlrvflorN of AiiacomlM Mine I'iir 'ly 'IVcIinlrnl.
