COLOMBIANS FILE A PROTEST
Objection to the Landing of American
Marine la Not, However,
Considered Valid. ,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 96. In regard to
the protest against ths landing of Ameri
can marines on the isthmus, made to Com
mander McLean of Cincinnati by Governor
Salazar of Panama, on tbe ground that the
Colombian government baa ample force to
protect the lives and property of foreign
era. It Is pointed out here that the gov
ernor's argument takes In only one-half of
the main treaty obligation with regard to
'the isthmus, assumed In the convention of
New Granada, signed In 1846 by the UnlteJ
8tates and Colombia.,
The dominant factor which Influenced the
landing of the marine was the obligation
which the United States took 'upon Itself
by the treaty of 1846 In these words:
The United Stales guarantee) positively
to New Granada, by the present stipula
tion, the perfect, neutrality of the before
mentioned Isthmus, with the view that the
free transit from the one to the other ea
may not be Interrupted or embarrassed In
any future time while this treaty exists.
Furthermore, In respect to the governor's
reported declaration that be considered the
landing of the United States naval forces
an attempt to assume the sovereignty of
Colombia., attention Is directed to this dec
laration In the same paragraph of the
treaty:
The United States also guarantees the
rights of sovereignty and property which
New Granada ha and possesses over th
said territory.
Bo far neither th Stat department, nor
officially of th. protest of th. Panama
me navy department DBS seen luionneu
government. It waa atated.at tbe Navy de
partment today tbat no mention of the
protest was made In the long dispatch re
ceived from Commander McLean yester
day. In regard te which only a general
statement was made public.
If Governor Salasar, in making the secu
rity of tbe live and property of foreign
er bis ground for protest against tbe
presence of tbe American marines, did e
on tbe assumption that the transit was
safe against Interruption, then the offi
cials here are not Inclined to the same
view. '
Tbey point out that there would have
been an Interruption : ef traffic on the
Isthmus on Wednesday, when 800 insur
gent, attempted to capture a Colombian
officer aboard one of the trains, had It not
been for tbe presence of the American
marines.
Prairie, which Is to take the additional
(00 marines to the Isthmus If they are
needed, , is expected to leave Boston 'today
for League Island, enrouta to Norfolk.
The Navy department today gave out the
following statement regarding a cablegram
received from Commander McLean:
Commander McLean rabies that for the
present situation, the United States forces
now on the Isthmus will be sufttclent. Ac
cordingly no more need be sent unless soma
unrorsven contingency enouia arise. n
Is thouicht that the marine battalion be!ng
assembled at Norfolk probably will not
have to fee r". to th uthraus.

to William Diukella, convicted In 1880 before
a United States consular conrt In Japan of
the murder of Charles It. Abbott, ths first
mats of the American ship Centennial whlls
lying in Hlogo harbor, the prisoner being
the second mate of the ship. Dtnkella has
been In prison for more then twenty-two
years, two years In Japan and over twenty
yeara In the Albany. N. Y., prison. He
alwaya baa insisted tbat tbe orlme was com
mitted in the heat of passion and when hs

had beaten and choked the prisoner almoal
Into Insensibility when the prisoner secured
his pistol and abot Abbott dead. Tbe at
torney general says that the element of pre

this fact and that of the uniformly good
behavior of the prisoner while in the peni

INCREASES GERMAN TARIFF
Special Commission Achedalea Rate
Higher, Even, Thaa Those
of the Government.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. The State de
partment made public today an Important
report from Consul Monaghan from Chem
nlts. dated August 29, In regard to the pro
posed German tariff on foodstuffs.
The counsel says that while the German
government Itself had in mind a derided
increase in the price of foodstuffs, as Indi
cated by its proposed recommendationa
upon the new tariff, the tariff commission,
which Is composed mainly of agrarians,
has drawn up a schedule of duties which
presents an extreme advance even 'over the
government recommendations. Wheat now
pays 83c for every 220 pounds. The gov
ernment's proposition Is $1.56 and the tariff
commission determined on $1.79. ' The re
spective figures for rye are 83c, $1.48 and
$1.63, and all along the line as great and
greater Increases are noted. ' Mr. Mona
ghan says the German agrarians claim that
secret understandings between the guilds
of butchers and bakers are responsible for
the high prices, but.be transmits a state
ment of a butchers' guild that the great
advance in prices Is due to the "scarcity
of live stock brought about by the closing
of tbe German empire to tbe Importation of
live stock from the more abundantly sup
plied neighboring states." .

which has been contributed by Tarious or

Mr. Mitchell, In his address, ssld In psrt:
"I hsve some doubts In my mind whether
tbe residents of Philadelphia have cause
to feel aggrieved at Mr. Bacr or to feci
grateful to him. It I true that the trust
he represents Is extorting from you fabu
lous prices for coal, but aa a compensat
ing feature he has taken from Philadelphia
the largest portion of the criminal class
thst formerly resided here, and now hs
them commissioned by the governor of
Pennsylvania as coal and Iron police. Phil
adelphia criminals are now preserving the
law In the coal fields.
"But I did not come here for the pur
ose of discussing thst phase of the ques
tion. I came here to tell you something
about the coal strike. It Is not tbe miners'
fault that the residents of Philadelphia
are paying $1.1 a ton for coal. In this
strike the people have passed Judgment. I
am willing to say thst If 90 per cent of
the American people would not cast their
votes In favor of the miners If It were left
to them I would order the strike off now.
The papers friendly to the coal trusts
have been printing the stories of lawless
ness, and they say the- miners want to go
back to work. Let me ssy to you that for
more than eight weeks the militia of Penn
aylvania has surrounded the mine and not
one single striker baa returned to work
Yet It mi true that my people are suffer
ing for ths necessities of life. It 1 true
that their children are going about bare
footed. But the Pennsylvania coal miners
bave for years lived on little and a little
less Is no unendurable hardship.
"Some of the papers have printed tabu
lated statements of tbe. earnings of an
ttrraclt workere. Let me call your at
tentlon to one authority upon the earnings
of miners and none will complain that
that authority Is only friendly or fair to
the miners. In a public statement
recently issued be saya that the. av
erage earnings of men under his company
were $1.89 a day. The largest number of
days the anthracite miners have worked
wa 194, which mean, that under hi
company and according to his figure the
miners earned the grand total In a year of
$368."

FUEL FAMINE IN NEW YORK
Wood as Wll at Ooal Became t Bar
Luxury.
FORMER GOES UP TO $12 PER CORD
oft Coal .lamps to h Per Ton aad
Hard Coat SIS When It
tan Be Had
at All.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26. The coal shortsge
reached an acute stage today. The price of
oft coal Jumped to $S a ton, $2. SO more than
the price Wednesday, and three times as
much as before the strike wss Inaugurated.
The quoted price of hard coal was $13 but It
was merely nominal, as there wa abso
lutely none to be had at any price.
' The price of wood followed coal. Kind
ling wood, selling a few days ago at $10 a
cord, today brought $12. Practically a
complete fuel famine exists. Consumers
throughout the city bad postponed laying
In a supply of coal, believing the strike
would be settled and prices would fall.
The park department Is seriously em
harassed. Ten days ago contracts were
advertised for and today only one bid was
found snd that wa for 200 tons of pea coal
t $8.75 per ton, which was quickly ac
cepted. A conference of representatives of the
principal rharltable organizations of the
city wtir be held within a few days to con
sider the sltustion resulting from the ooal
strike. Many of the organizations made
contract for coal, but as these contain a
strike clause no supplies will be forth
coming. In former seasons the society for
Relieving the Condition of the Poor, the
United Hebrew Charities nd the St. Vincent
de Paul society have distributed about
2,000 tons of coal each, a total of 6,000. The
charitable workers estimate that they may
have to provide ten or twenty times the
amount of coal they bave given away In for
mer winters.
Two steamers with a total carrying capa
city of about 7,000 ton of coal have been
rbartered for tbe purpose of carrying
Welsh anthracite coal from Swansea to the
United States. The vessels are tbe British
Steamer Sarmatla, registering 1,343 ton
net, which will come to New York, and
the British steamer Montauk, 2,220 tons net,
which will go to Boston or Fall River.
Ths latter vessel has been chartered to carry
the coal at 6 shillings and peno. per ton.
Terms of 8armatla's charter were not made
public. Prices of Welsh anthracite are re
ported to range from $6 to $S per ton, free
on board at Swansea.
The British steamer Turret Crown,
registering 1,142 tons net, has been char
tered to load coal at Cardiff for Montreal
and Quebec at 6 shillings and nlno pence.
AGAIN IT'S BLEEDING KANSAS
Soil Soaked with Imaginary Blood
Spilled In Cavalry Attack on
Infantry.
FORT RILEY, Kan., 8ept. 26. The exer
cises of each regiment aa an advance guard
of an Imaginary division, involving the em
ployment of artillery, wa the problem
worked out In the field today by the mau
euver division at Camp Root.
Tbe Blue army waa the defending force
today. It was composed of two companies
of engineers, Troops A, B and C of tbe
Fourth cavalry,, the Sixth. Eighth and
Twenty-second regiments of infantry, the
Twenty-eighth mountain battery and the
Sevetrtb battery field artillery. The Brown
or attacking army was made up of the
Nineteenth battery field artillery, and
Troops D. E and F of tbe Fourth cavalry.
When tbe Invading array came upon the
defenders both sides at once commenced a
heavy fire, which laated an hour and half.
After this the engagement was confined to
skirmishes by the advance guards of the
two forces, the firing being light. At 12
o'clock the recall was sounded and each
army retreated to the respective starting
point.
The afternoon maneuver was the attack
on the Blue army' rear guard by th.
Brown army. During tbe engagement
Troop D of the Fourth cavalry, under com
mand of Captain E. B. Winon, made a de
tour of about three mllea around tbe hills
toward the Republican river, covering much
of the rough stretch of ground at a gallop.
While making tbe detour the troop cam.
upon a detachment of the Blue army's in
fantry. At a gallop the troop made a pis
tol charge on tbe Infantry. The result of
the troop' detour vTas that It succeeded In
cutting off the enemy' rear guard from the
main body, which left the latter exposed.
