Bonding Companies Scared by
Tawney’s Resolution.
Associated Press
Chicago 111. July 3.—The officers of
twelve bonding surety companies doing
business in the United States have of-
fered to revise their rates on public of-
ficials provided Chairman Tawney of
the appropriations committee of the
national house of representatives will
withdraw his bill providing for the es-
tablishment of a fund by the govern-
ment for carrying the bonds of its em-
ployes.
The government claimed that rates
on public officials have been very ma-
terially increased during the past year
and without any justification in the
way of expense. The surety officials
combatted this statement but were un-
able to produce the statistics ou which
their increase was based finally admit-
ted that the advance was largely guess
work.

BRITISH ENCROACH ON
LIBERIAN TERRITORY
Say They Will Move Out With-
out Making Trouble.
Associated Press.
New York July 3.—The American
commission which has investigated the
affairs of the black republic Liberia
has prepared a report that Great Bri-
tain has encroached and occupied 300
square miles of Liberian'-territory. ac-
cording to a cablegram from Freetown
Sierra Leone. Assurances were given
the commission by British authorities
that the English occupation of the dis-
puted territory would cease on the prop-
er diplomatic representation by this
country.
Investigations conducted by the com-
mission at Monrovia the capital of Li
beria. and at Freetown the dispatch
says showed that the English forces oc-
cupying and administering Sierra Leone
had overstepped the border which was
rfbrveyed in 1903 and had encroached
on Liberian ground for a distance of
twenty-five miles from the established
border line.
The Liberians submitted to the com-
mission proof that the British forces
had by various means induced the Li-
berian border officers to recede inland
and then had placed the original Libe
rian territory upon the Sierra Leone
government. British officials appeared
before the commission and did not dis-
pute these assertions but gave assur-
ances that the English were ready to
retire as soon as the Washington gov-
ernment passed on the matter and
brought the case to the attention of
the colonial office at London.

YELLOW FEVER IS
PREVALENT IN CUBA
Medical Record Censures Au-
thorities for Recurrence.
Special Dispatch.
New York July 3.—Yellow fever is
again prevalent in Cuba according to
the Medical Record which censures
the island authorities for its recurrence
saying that they have concealed the
facts by claiming that the fever is per-
nicious malaria or malignant jaundice.
The publication says further that the
gulf coast of the United States is men-
aced. that politicians on the island have
monopolized the appropriations to fight
the disease and that the proper steps
would be for the United States marine
hospital service to take charge of af-
fairs. The article sounds a warning
that the same conditions which prevail-
ed in Cuba before the United Etates
took matters in hand several years ago
exist now and that drastic action by
the government is imperative.
