COLOMBIA IN A SNARL
AMERICAN MINISTER HART SENDS
FACTS BY CARRIER.
President Did Not Resign—He Was
Thrown in Jail By the Vice Presl-
dent —The Usurper is Not Recogniz-
ed By the Cabinet.
New York September o—Benito Za-
lemea. United States consul nt Bogo-
ta. reached the ciiJJ lust night wall
dkpatches to Secn-iury Hay from
CluirJe* Bnrdett Hart the minister
io Colombia. Mr. Zaleina brought
news of the real state of affairs in the
country which lais been concealed by
orders of the usurping President.
Some time ago newu was received
that Pnesldont San (Tdimmio luid re-
signed and that Vice Preeldent Mar-
roguin Inui legally succeeded him. This
n>?ws was sent by rable by Morrognln
to ihe Colombian representnittves nil
over the world with instructions to
transmit it to the Isuds of the various
governments. The latter were sus-
picious of Marroguln. and delayed rec-
oguiziug him. -Minister Hurt was
asked to send fuller information tn
Washington. It now appears that
Marroguiu did not peacefully succeed
Sin Clemente but seized him togeth-
er with General Palacio the Secre-
tary of State and put them in prison
at Villet. The actual eotip d’etat
i ok pi.ii • t n July 81 tt m.iiiiigiit.
The present state of affairs is an
outcome of the contests tluit for the
last ten months Ims b<s>n fought by
the Conservatives against the Liberals
or Revolutionirtts. When this contest
was practically emled. the historical
wing of the Consorviitivis broke away
from ihe Naturalists wing in an at-
tempt to get the upjH-r Im nd of the
govenmient. The historical wing Tin-
der Marroguln decided uism the
coup d'rat.
Mr. Zslleim saw President San Cl*-
mente in the prison al VHtetta. The
IVvtident sold him that he would not
give In or recognize the new order of
Aiings. He was impatient for the
true stale of affairs to be made known.
Since assn using power Marroguln has
overridden the constitution the laws
and everything else conducting him-
self in a manner little about of a mil-
itary dictator. He lias i«ueceeded in
keeping the news of San Clemente's
and Palacio's imprisonment from get-
ting antvad up io the present time.
“Several of tlm governors . of the
different states and other agents of
Ilie legitimate government have refus-
ed to recognize -Marroguiu.” said Mr.
Zalemti. 'They Drive taken the stand
that S in Clemente having been elected
according to the conatlturion is the on-
ly legitimate President. Tae Supreme
court likewise has refused to recog-
nize the new government. The Con-
sejo de Estaco (tlie Consul d'Etat or
cabinetl lias taken the same stand
toward Marroguln. In fact there is
h wide spread opjiositlun to him and
It is m t Improbable tlicit the Natural-
istic whig of the ConservaZive* will
join forces with their old enemies the
Liberals and endeavor to overthrow
nim. Personally Marroguln is u
pleasant man. who lias been driven
to his present eotiise of action by his
party."
■Eilunrdo Espinoza. Consul General
of the Colombian government in New
York was astonished to hear of San
Clemeiue's Imprisonment aril Mar-
roguin's usurpation. He (ws decided
not Io recognize Marroguln.

AMERICAN MINERS' RIGHTS.
They Will Be Guaranteed in Alaska at
Porcupine River.
Seattle Wush.. Sept. 6.—The miners
of the Porcupine district Alaska have
received from Secretary of State Hay
imtlnite assurances that this govern-
ment foregoea nt. pare of its right and
power to protect its citizens in the Por-
r upine Creek region whether they be
temporarily *ithin American n Brit-
ish jurisdiction in the full enjoyment
of all rights and privileges which they
had before the modus vivendi was con-
cluded end to sec that their freedom of
recess and exit with their goods is not
unreasonably impeded.
This announcement from Mr. Hay is
the result of a petition to President Mc-
Kinley trom one hundred and forty
American miners in the Porcupine
country who complained of being
brought within the territory and under
the laws of the Dominion of Canada
and especially protested against the lo-
cation of the boundary line anlong the
Klenhfm rive- by which American min-
ers were forced to enter British t-r-
-titory in carrying supplies to their
camps. The reply of Secretary Hay
ciccusser the whole proposition at con
rderable length He assures the min-
ers that the modus vivendi is merely a
temporary p.-oucsltion to be abrogat-
ed without prejudice to enther party
when a permanent settiement of the
boundarj dispute is decided upon; that
in the n eantimo the rights of all mln-
«rs temporarily brought within the
Canadian control will be religiously
protected; and that miners desiring to
' airy goods through the disputed terri-
tory will be tiorndtted to do so with-
t ut nnjust interference from the Cana-
dian government.
OREGON OFF SHANGHAL
Her I’resi'nce a Source of Strength to
tlie Foreigners.
Washington. D. C.. SoptcmbiT C.—
The arrival of the Oregon off Rlmng-
h.ii brings tluit famonr battleship
again in position to take part in oper-
ations for the solution of the Chi-
ne"? problem and for the effective pro-
tection of American intereMte for the
first time since she ran on the rocks
near Che Foo more itian two months
ago. From Captain Wilde's entile
dispatch it is umletxtood by the offi-
cials of the Navy department that lie
seized the opportunity to telegraph his
safe passage nereis the Yellow sea
from Kure to the Yung Tse while
waiting for a favorable tide which
would permit n ship of Hie Oregon's
deep draught to crons the bar ami
reach the neighborhoctl of the Woo
Sung 'forts where ihe Now Orleans
and rhe Princeton have been represen-
ting the United iStates for several
weeks.
The advent of the Oregon wltli her
powerful battery and formidable ar-
mor protection will remove much of
rhe danger to foreign interests which
has been due to continued Chinese oc-
cupation of those dreaded fortilicai-
ions which could close the river to
all unarinored vessels hurrying to
rescue f. reigners in Shanghai in ease
rioting ttiould Itegin in that city.
No oiilprs were issued by the Nnvy
department for the dispatch of the
Oregon to Shanghai amt her sudden
appearance on the scene is attrfbut-
b<! ito the wish of Admiral Romey
who Ikis full authority for the dispo-
sition of the vessels of his tloel to
imiet all possible emergencies.

A conservative estimate places the

ily coming In throuati the various

the first lime limit expired on exchange
it was found that but little over half

he snid. "1 will say though that I do
not believe the upper and lower horn*
system will be a success. The lower
house which will lx* composed of
thirty-five members elected directly
by t‘.ie people " ill probably prove n
failure. That depends though on
which political thirty carries the
elections. There are about fiO.OtX) ell*
glide voters on the Island. At the
elections last spring tlie federals car-
ried tlie island by a majority of nbout
(M.tNM). If that party controls tlie
lower house and occupies the speaker s
chair it will be iu a position to dic-
tate to the upper house aud t> lite
governor himself. The other party
the Republirans. are pro-adniluistra
tion in evi«ry way. or at least pur-
port to lz*. and ate in favor of the
introduction of American institutions.
The Federals are anti-American in
their sentiments to a surprising ex-
tent and seem o|s>psed to things Am t-
iewn on general principles. They want
to see ail the offices and clerkships
filled by men from their party nnd it
is a galling .sight to them to see so

ENGINEER ASLEEP IN HIS CAB.
Narrow Escape For a Train on the Bur-
lington Railway.
Chicago fept 6. — A. special to the
Chronicle from Quincy HI. says:
A wild engin? endangered scores of
1 tes on two passenger trains and A. J.
Arnold an oil engineer on the Chica-
go Burlington and Quincy railroad had
a thrilling experience. Shortly after
midnight Arnold who had been pulling
one of the fast trains on the road back-
ed down to the .itation to meet her on
her arrival. The engine was running
down and on reaching ihe station Fire-
man Smith Jumped off and entered the
depot supposing the locomotive would
come to a standstill and watt for the
train.
When Smith camo out of the station
he was horrified to see the engine tear-
ing over the viaduct toward Missouri.
The terrified fireman knew that some-
thing was wrong and hastened to the
train dispatcher's office and gave the
alarm.
A message was sent to the operator
nt Moody seven miles from Quincy
notifying him that there was an engine
' riinnin; wild” and requesting him to
turn It In on the siding at Moody and
to hold the St. Louis passenger north-
bound train which was then about due
io arrive there.
The Moody operator obeyed Instruc-
tions barely having time to catch the
St. Louis train which wad switched out
of harm's way. In a few minutes the
runaway engine could be seen coming
slowly up the graoe and it "died” of Its
own efforts in right of the Moody st«-
ton.
Conductor Oglesby of the St. T.ouls
train climbed into the cab and found
Arnold sitting on the seat in the cab
fast asleep with his head out of the
window. Arnold was both surprised
and terrifled when he realized what
bad happened.
The Chfcag > train from Kansas City
is also due at Moody right after the St
Louis train ar.r but for the lack of
iteam and tli* prompt word sent to
Moody station one or both trains might
have been wrecked and many lives
lost.
