Ky for APPEALS TO HER COUSIN EMPRESS DOWAGER OF ' CHINA WANTS AS ALLIANCE WITH JAPAN. She Auks the Mikado to Assist Her in r.... I . I n cv tm 1 1 n .1 n tin. paclons European. VANCOUVER. B. C, Aug. 3L Mail ad vices brought by the steamer Empress of India contain a rough translation of the letter recently sent by the Empress dowag er of China to the Emperor of Japan on the proposed alliance between the two countries. The letter thanked her good cousin for his good wishes. The writer was in great dif ficulties. European powers were pressing for a portion of ti-e empire. England, France, Germany, and last of all, Italy had presented demands, and the Empress did not know what to do to satisfy these greedy dogs. England was the worst of all, for she had not disguised her longings for the Yang tse-Klang valley, and had evidently set only to claim Fuhkien. But she has done more; she has attempted to frustrate her (the Empress's) relations with Russia, and openly protesting against her advancing hei eyes in north China. Such indignities were insufferable, and she had therefore ad dressed herself to her good friend, the Em peror of Japan, for succor in her distress. Her promise of subsidies, of appointing Japanese to command the fleet and armies, of freedom of trade to Japanese ships and merchants, accompanied this letter, and finally Japan was invited to enter into an alliance, offensive and defensive, to get rid of these dangerous enemies. Robbers in the Saichiu mountains have become more formidable, and their numbers nave greatly increased. It is reported that at every meal there are over three hundred tables, each accommodating ten robbers. One hundred cooks are employed. They go to different markets to buy food, which is reasonably paid for. They are not to com mit robberies on ordinary people, but to blackmail shops. Junks and well-to-do fam ilies. Some shops being unable to pay the heavy blackmail have been closed, and many Junks conveying native products from different places to Canton for sale have been also forced to discontinue traffic. Formosan insurgents are again active. Recently several ex-leaders of the rebels were arrested at Taipeh. charged with in stigating their followers to rebel against Japanese rule. This gave umbrage to their comrades, who at once retreated Into the mountains, preparatory to a resumption of tne combination which they had abandoned for a time. This was the signil for many natives to throw down the hoe and take up the rule. A fairly strong army was collect ed at once, and made a descent on Talheso, taking possession or it without difficulty. The Japanese authorities, being surprised at the state of a Hairs, sent a portion of a regiment to suppress the rising. More ris ings in other parts of the island are apprehended. The leader is a man named Rin, noted for his vleverness. He held the post of governor of San-Shoho before For mosa was ceded to Japan. E. Schlumburger, superintendent of the Ottoman bank, of Constantinople, was a passenger on the Empress of India. He has had a hard trip across Siberia. One thousand miles or more was done on camel back. From a general standpoint he thought that the new railway would be a decided success, but when it is completed ho thinks it will be of more advantage to Great Britain than it can possibly be to Russia, assuming the railway was to be applied principally for commercial purposes. Italy Rnlldoxlnpr China. PEKING. Aug. 31. Owing to the spirit of opposition and evasion shown by the Chinese Foreign Office in the negotiations now progressing between China and Italy the Italian squadron in Chinese waters will be immediately reinforced by two torpedo boat destroyers. USED MAILS TO DEFRAUD. Charse on Which Two Al leered Swin dler Were Arrented. CHICAGO. Aug. 31. What is believed to be an extensive swindling scheme was checked this afternoon by the arrest of George E. Shlppey and Henry Schueck, who were charged with using the malls to defraud hundreds of business men throughout the country. The men were arraigned before United States Commissioner Humphrey and held in J2.000 each pending the hearing Of the case Sept. 9. The two wpre rritPii at No. lMi Fifth avenue, the headquarters of the Western Importing and Exporting Company, which they are said to constitute. According to the story told by Inspector Farrell, the men some time ago organized the American Trading Company, with of fices at No. 73 Washington street, and later at 215 Madison street. On the letter head, directly above the name of the concern was printed the word storage," which is said to have led the patrons to believe that the men were connected with a legitimate con cern. Hundreds of letters are. said to have been mailed to manufacturers throughout the United States asking for price lists and samples. In some instances small quantities of goods were paid for, but it Is alleged this was only to mislead the victims, and when large shipments were made to the Chicago men no money was forthcoming. It is claimed that Franklin L. Smith, who was arrestee: last week in New York, was an ac complice or anippey and Ccrusrfc.

Pittsburg Hall Coal-Mine Combina tion Perfected. CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 31 The Pittsburg rail coal-mine combination has been formed and a meeting will be held within two weeks to elect officers. The new corpora tion is the Pittsburg Coal Company, and its capital stock Is $64,000,000. It owns the coal properties of 104 of the 107 Individuals and firms in the business, has practically absolute control of the docks and coal-loading plants on the great lakes and has a monop oly on all the outlets to the coal markets of the East, West and Northwest. There is an understanding between this "combine" and the "combine" of the river coal inter ests of the Pittsburg district so that neither will encroach upon the territory of the other, this putting the Fittsburg district, with Its output of 22,913,804 tons of coal last year. In the hands of two great concerns. Of that total output last year the properties now owned by the Pittsburg Coal Company produced over 17,000,000 tons, and this year It Is expected that the production will exceed 20,000,000 tons. Included in the assets of the concerns taken over are 81,236 acres of coal land and 7,126 acres of surface land situated In the counties of Allegheny, Fayette, Washington and Westmoreland, in the State of Pennsylvania, on the lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Baltimore &. Ohio Railroad system, the lines of the Pennsylvania line and those of the Lake Erie and Pittsburg & Western lines, with direct connections with many dock and loading plants. With the present prosperous times In the manufacturing Interests, it is not Improbable that the output of the mines In 1800 will be upwards of 20,090,000 tons. China Wants American Capital. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 31. The project of certain moneyed men to organize a United States and China trading company to control the trade of China has excited much comment among the commercial people of this city, some of whom give the scheme formulated by Ho Yow, the Chinese consul general, their unqualified approval. A move has been made to organize the company, which, it is understood. Is liberally backed by the Chinese government. In brief, the proposition is that if a company is formed here with from five to ten millions capital, it can secure from the Chinese government about every trading, contracting and commercial concession that it sees fit to ask for. To prevent total annihilation as a nation the kingdom Is bound to seek commercial alliance with some other nation, and the only friendly government has proved to be the United States. The Manufacturers' and Producers' Association has appointed Its president, A. S. Barbaro, to act in the matter, and at a meeting of capitalists and business men It has been decided to prepare an address to be sent to every commercial body In the Union setting forth the advantages1 of accepting the offer made virtually by the Chinese government.

The recent abolition of some 2,000 kilns for the manufacture of camphor, as a result of the operation of the new law, threw many hands out of employment. o Glass Tublewnre Trust.

SAILS FOR GIBRALTAR

ADMIRAL DEWEY LEAVES VILLA FRANCA ON THE OLYMTIA. Says He Dreads Ills Countrymen Reception at New York Condition of the Dewey Home Fund. VILLA FRANCA, France. Aug. 31. Admiral Dewey remained on board the Olympia this morning. In brilliant sunshine and with a fair breeze blowing the preparations for sailing commenced at 3:13 o'clock p. m., when the launches were hauled up. The Interested crowds on shore watched the preparations and admired the activity of the crew. At 3:30 the' mall orderly left the quay with the latest malls, the anchors were hoisted and at 4 o'clock sharp the cruiser sailed out of the harbor for Gibraltar. The admiral says he is in perfect health. He expects to stay at Gibraltar until Sept. 12. He expressed pleasure previous to his departure at his stay here and dreads his countrymen's reception. The admiral's visit here was the most interesting in the history of the harbor. Dewey's Chinese May Not Land. NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-A special to the Herald from Washington t;ays: "Under the Chinese exclusion law some of the members of the crew of the Olympla, who served with such credit In the battle of Manila bay as to win special, commendation from Admiral Dewey in a letter to the Navy Department, may not be allowed to set foot on shore when his flagship reaches New York. In the battle with the Spanish fleet they were assigned to duty in passing ammunition and performing, other duties connected with fighting the ships, and every one of them did his task well, and Dewey suggested that if possible they be admitted to American citizenship. His letter was referred to the Treasury Department. The secretary replied that, although he greatly regretted the fact, there was no way in which the law could be waived. The Chinese In the Olympiad crew could not be admitted to the United States unless they had been lawfully in this country at the time of their enlistment. "The law is mandatory on the officials of the Treasury Department, and it will be the duty of Collector of Customs Bldwell, at New York, to prevent the Chinese members of the Olympla's crew from leaving the ship while she is in New York harbor. Under the law a naval vessel is part of the soil of the c6untry, and, technically, if any of them were enlisted in San Francisco they have not been out of the United States while serving on the Olympla. It is not probable, however, that any action will be taken by the treasury officials should the Chinamen be allowed to land on the supposition that they are legally entitled to reside in the United States.' The Dewey Home Fund. WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. Frank A. Vanderllp, chairman of the Dewey home fund, and Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer, to-day issued the following statement to the public regarding the fund: "The Dewey home fund now exceeds $23,000. in the hands of the treasurer from 27,695 contributors, with sums aggregating about $13,000 or $18,000 reported as subscribed still held by local committees and subscribers. Delay has occurred In raising the fund by reason of published rumors that Admiral Dewey has declined to accept the nropos,ed gift. The committee has never recefved any declination from him and, on the contrary, has every reason to believe. that he will accept as a gracious and precious testimonial a home purchased for him In the name of fo many of his admiring fellow-citizens. This committee was invited by original , subscribers to act as custodian of the Dewey fund. Its members put no personal motive into the movement. They will gladly receive and hold for the object announced all moneys that may be sent to the treasurer. They do not doubt that the fund will be raised to an amount worthy of him. of the Nation and of the contributors. Checks may be payable to United States Treasurer Ellis II. Roberts, treasurer of the fund. Washington. D. C. who will send a souvenir receipt to each subscriber. The fund to-day was increased by a check for $1,000 from -the Milwaukee Brewers' Association. Asks a Place for the "White Escort.' NEW YORK, Aug. 31. Mrs. Alexander Giddlngs, of Cleveland, has written to the Dewey reception executive committee, as commander of the "White Escort," of Cleveland, asking for a place In the line during the parade.

Santiago, Moc, La Vega, Porto Plata, San Francisco de Macoris and Banl have declared In favor of the revolution. Santiago was taken after a strong fight. It is expected that all tho other places will submit to the revolution without any more fighting, principally owing to the fact that the President has resigned. General Figuero left to-day for Azua. The political prisoners have all been released. The revolutionists are still advancing, and they may enter the city in a fe days. The gunboat Restauracion is still on the rocks at Macros!.

Currency Question Said to Have Ileen a Source of Dlncontent. NEW YORK, Aug. 31. J. II. Balch, an electrical engineer in the employ of the Santo Domingo Improvement Company, and who has been In the Dominican republic for several yeajs, . has just arrived In New York, having left Porto Plata Aug. 21. In an Interview he said: "The population of the republic is about half a million. When

ever a town surrender the Insurgents t&ka

the defeated government troops with them.

All government employes, the police, watch men, etc., are armed witn Remingtons ana revolvers. An American is as saie in oanto Domingo as he Is in New York safer when the trolley and cable cars are considered. "The chief cause of dissatisfaction and uprising in Santo Domingo Is the currency question. A man who has prestige and who can obtain loans is the man the natives are looking for as President. JImlnez is hardly the man. He Is well known in New York, Hamburg. London ancl Paris, where his banking houses have suspended. "The chlet products or banio vomingo are tobacco, chocolate, fruits, wood, honey. beeswax and hides. The best mahogany In existence grows there. Mahogany is the scarcest and most valuable timber known to the lumber trade. The tobacco crops of this year will be 80.000 sefons of 110 pounds each. The country Is In a fine sanitary con dition, the Interior furnishing excellent springs for drinking water, while rain water is caught in shallow vessels tor urinKing purposes in the cities. There is nothing offensive In the way of sewage in any of the towns, notwithstanding the fact that there are as yet no water works in the re public of Santo Domingo except at points along our railroad. "Notwithstanding the present insurrection commerce is not affected. Santo Domingo was never so prosperous as at the present time. The present generation does not in herit the revolutionary propensities or tne last and former generations. The country neonle do not want to fight either for the government or against it, and not Infre quently, in order to avoid military service, they take to the bush. WATERSHED IN DISPUTE Nicaragua Wamtt Control of Entire Canal Ronte and Slay Go to War. Correspondence of the Associated Prres. MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Aug. 10. The meeting of President Zelaya, of Nicaragua. and President Sierra, of Honduras, on board a steamer, July 25, is believed to have resulted In an offensive and defensive alliance between the two countries against Salvador and probably Guatemala. Preparations are being made for a possible war in a few months between Nicaragua and Costa Rica for possession of the watershed of the canal route through Nicaragua, from the Pacific to Castillo, on the Rio San Juan del Norte, thence using that river to the Caribbean sea. as It bounds Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The latter country wants to gain control of the entire route. President Zelaya has Issued a call for a new 3500,000 loan. Subscriptions started in an active manner but fell off to -almost nothing in a few days. The coffee crop prospect Is much better now than at the same period last year. Much sickness fevers, influenza, diarrhoea, etc. of a dangerous type Is reported at Managua. Business is very dull. Money Is scarce and the financial prospects are gloomy. Minister Correa Statement. WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. Regarding the report that the governments of Nicaragua and Honduras have formed a secret alliance against Costa Rica and that arms are being bought in Europe and the United States with a view to the overthrow of the existing government, Minister Correa, of Nicaragua, to-day authorized the following statement: "The governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica have never been on better terms than they are at present. There Is a perfect understanding between them and It is of the friendliest character. As to the reported alliance between Honduras and Nicaragua, there ban been an alliance de facto for many years rast. They are very good friends and they rare no need of any formal treaty of alliance beyond the de facto understanding which has long ex isted. If President Zelaya has held a con ference with President Sierra, it Is un doubtedly due to long continued personal acquaintance between them and also to the tour President Sierra has been making to points in Honduras near the Nicaraguan boundary. The statement that there Is any joint purpose to wrest from Costa Rica the province of Quanacaste is, of course, with out foundation, as that province was given by Nicaragua to Costa Rica over forty years ago, when they celebrated the treaty fixing the boundary line, and since then there has never been the slightest dispute between the two countries as to that prov ince. It is undoubtedly true that Nicaragua has sent money to Europe because she Is making many purchases there, but nothing in the way of arms. And as to sending )25,ooo to New York ror arms, mucn more than that amount has been sent to New York, but it is to buy Nicaragua's telegraph and telephone lines and for mall equip ments. We are not thinking of war, but are anxious for that peace and order which will assist in developing the rich resources of the country." JURISTS ON ilRBlTRATION.

CUBA'S CENSUS DECREE COMMENTS OF HAVANA EDITORS OX T1IU PROCLAMATION. Preparations for Carrying Out the President's Order Major Harrison Says He Is Recovering, HAVANA. Aug. 3L-rresident McKlnleyV census proclamation has been received In various waj's by the Havana newspapers. La Lucha publishes nothing, evidently wait lng to see what the others will cay first. La Discuscion has only a cartoon representing the effects of tho proclamalon on the different factions, the party of Independence smiling and tho party advocating a protectorate assuming a studious air. while the annexationists are sad. El Diarlo de la Marina considers that tha varying opinions are proof of want of clear ness In the proclamation and Intimates that this is more significant for what it does not say than for what it says. Commenting upon the absence of the words, "Cuba Is by right and ought to be free and Independent," which were In the proclamation of 1SSS, El DIario remarks: "The absence is accentuated by the fact that the American newspapers call attention to the substitution of tho phrase, 'efficient system of government, for tha word 'independence The phrase is precisely the one used by Senor Canovas del Castillo In tho Spanish Cortes In 1837 when speaking of the Cuban problem. The same promise is given to Cuba now that was formally given to Porto Rico and the Philippines, both cf which aro now American colonies. Tha cause Is the prolonged stay of the occupying troops, and Is due to the fact that thero Is no Cuban government to take their place. The declaration is the most explicit that ha been made by tho United States government since the memorable resolution of Congress." El Nuevo Pals observes: "We did sot doubt thev sincerity of the United States government when the Americans declared that Cuba ought to be free, though at tha same time reserving their right to Judge when the Cubans were fit to govern themsellves. We are till of the same mind. Wo aon't see what relation the taking of the census bears to the establishment of a Cuban republic. The census is certainly tho bate on which to construct a state, which, being constructed, may show Us own worthltAsness. thus putting off Indefinitely tha day cf Independence. We hope, although we have our doubts, that the result of the census will be to convince the Americans that any fears they may have entertained as to the fitness of the Cubans to govern themselves were without foundation, although the present actions of the Cuban leaders are not calculated to impress President McKInley favorably." General Maximo Gomez has addressed a communication to the local pipers declaring that he deems It a duty to inform Cubans and foreigners of his Intention, at an early date, to exhume the bodies of his son and Gen. Antonio Maceo, now at Bejucal, In order to place them in a more secure abode. He asserts that his friends and himself Intend to build a mausoleum In which to keep the bodies until Cuba Is really free and Independent and that not until then will they be moved to a final resting place. He will give public notice of the date of the exhumation. Governor General Brooke to-day received) the census inspectors and told them he had ordered all the material necessary for taking the census to be forwarded to tne various headquarters in the provinces and had authorized the Inspector for Havana to take possession of the furniture and other articles now at Qulnta de los Mollnos. Victor Olmstead. assistant director of tha census, has been given a temporary office at the palace, where he Is arranging the geographical division of the islani Sinco morning he has received numerous Cubans in search of positions connected with the census taking. La Lucha. referring to the Introduction; of Porto Rican tobacco Into Cuba, ?ays: "It is quite true that Porto Rico is in a bad condition after the recent hurricane, but Cuba Is In an unenviable condition after a, long war. Cuba should not be sacrificed la any way in favor of Porto Rico, and cert -y not by the free admission of Porto n tobacco. All over the country the heard for protection, which Is abso- , necessary. The Cuban customs yield mcus customs receipts, which would nlsh the help the country needs. It Is of great importance that this view of tho case should be presented to the Washington authorities, and a strong committee, representing all the industries of the Island, should be intrusted with the duty of presenting It." Col. Carlos Cespedes, an Intimate friend of General Gomez, arrived yesterday from the United States and was met by General Gomez and several members of his former staff. In the course of an Interview Colonel Cer.edes gaia ne thought public oplnllon In the United States with reference to the future of Cuba was much divided, although a majority favored annexation. Many prominent New York merchants with whom he talked expressed themselves as dissatisfied with the present economical state of affairs, saying that the United States government should have arranged a modus viver.dl with respect to both Cuba and Porto Rico fo as to give a feeling of confidence. In that event trade would have, followed, whereas few, as he was Informed, had ventured to enter upon speculative business In either Island. When questioned regarding the census proclamation Colonel Cespedes said he could not see that it contained any Implied promise. A census would be necessary In any circumstances, and the way in which it was to be taken showed that the United States government was considering the problem ia some other than a military light. He was very emphatic in asserting that not another cent of tho American gratuity of J3.000,000 should be paid out to Cuban soldiers. In his Judgment all that was left should go to the widows and children of the men who were killed in the war. The Department of Agriculture reports that the cocoa trees are dying In the North em part of Havana province, owing to the ravages of insects. Major Russell U. Harrison, the inspector general, wires General Lee that he has over come the yellow fever, adding that he has had tho very best nursing and care throughout. Director of Posts Rathbone will Issue the) new Cuban stamps to-morrow. At 3 p. m. the temperature in Havana was S5. Brooke's Death Report. WASHINGTON. Aug.
