Alleged to Have Been Nipped by Detectives in London.
STORY CREATES BIG SENSATION
Coronation Threatens to Prove Gigand its Flanco Through Rapacity and
: A sensational story was current in London Tuesday night of the discovery of a plot to assassinate King Edward. This story has created considerable discussion in newspaper and other circles, but it is lacking in anything like official confirmation.
According to the current report King Edward's sudden illness at Aldershot was not due to a cold, but was merely an excuse for withdrawing his majesty from public functions owing to the discovery by Scotland Yard detectives of a plot against his life. The principals in this plot have not yet been arrested.
It is cited in confirmation of this story that King Edward's recovery when he was ensconced at Windsor castle was as complete and speedy as his attack had been sudden. On the other hand it must be pointed out that if his majesty's illness was merely diplomatic, the officials certainly took a great deal of trouble in keeping up the fiction.
Threatens to Be Flasco.
The coronation as a public spectacle threatens to be a flasco. So serious and so imminent has this possibility become that The London Times and other papers are printing alarmist letters urging the authorities to take steps to prevent its failure before it is too late. The rapacity of the hotel keepers and greed of the seat speculators are the reasons.
With scarcely more than a week before the coronation not 50 per cent of the seats on the huge stands have been sold. Frightened by the exorbitant demands thousands of people residing in the suburbs and country who had planned to attend and see the king crowned have now decided to stay away, while a large proportion of Londoners will avail themselves of the opportunity to enjoy a holiday at the seaside or elsewhere in preference to submitting to the inconveniences of the extraordinary police regulations which will be enforced on coronation days.
Police Precautions.
But what chiefly contributes to the present serious state of affairs are the police precautions to make the procession to Westminster Abbey one which ticket holders only can witness, except in the case of St. James park, where but a few thousand will be able to see the royal party. The published regulations, whereby all traffic within about a mile of the first day's route is to be stopped at 3 o'clock in the morning and pedestrians are to be stopped at 8 a.m., convey a faint inkling of what remarkable indignities London will be submitted to.
From the appearance of Westminster the capital might well be preparing to resist an invasion or be contemplating a communistic rising. Solid timber, barricades 20 to 30 feet high rise at the entrance of all streets and alleys leading anywhere near the route. The number, ugliness and solidity of these barricades cause bitter reflections regarding the opinion which the authorities must have of the unrullness of the loyal British crowds.
Irish Net in It.
At a meeting of the Irish members of the house of commons Tuesday resolutions to the effect that the Irish nationalists, as a protest against the "misgovernment of their country," resolved to take no part in the present coronation celebrations, and that the Irish party be summoned to meet in Dublin on the day of King Edward's coronation, to take into consideration the condition of Ireland, were unanimously adopted.
CADETS GET THEIR DIPLOMAS.
Presentation Made by Rocscvelt in Silence and Only a Hand-Shake. The centennial celebration of the West Point Military academy was ended Thursday with the presentation of diplomas to the, graduating class. The weather was fine and the ceremony took place out of doors on that part of the parade grounds known as "Cavalry Plain." President Roosevelt presented each new officer with his diploma. It was expected the president would make a few remarks, but he simply shook hands with each cadet.
The Expected Has Happened as Aftermath of Majer's Interview at San Francisco.
A Washington dispatch says: Major L. W. T. Waller, of the Marine corps, who was courtmartialed for executing the orders of Brigadier General Jacob S. Smith in the island of Samar, was been called to account by Secretary of the Navy Moody for the interview he gave on Friday last upon his arrival at San Francisco. Uncle Major Wallace explicitly denies the interview, he is in danger of being severely reprimanded or even courtmartialed.
The action taken by Secretary Moody is involved in some mystery, officials of the navy department being disinclined to discuss the matter in any way. Nevertheless, it is known that Secretary Moody's attention was called to the interview and he sharply condemned it. The president also objected to the interview, the more so because in his reprimand of Lieutenant General Miles some months ago, he gave both services to understand that he did not propose to permit officers to make statements criticising their superiors in either service.
In the interview credited to Major Waller, he is regarded as having reflected upon the authorities in Washington and as having made statements which were highly objectionable not so much on account of the words themselves as because of the insinuations they convey. The statement to which the president and Secretary Moody took particular exception was this:
"I know who caused that epurmartial, I know who brought it forward. I know who was at the back of it all, and Washington knows as much."
MISS TAYLOR STAYS OUT.
House Acts on Shallenberger's "Inquiry" Resolution.
A Washington special says: The fact that the laws governing the employees in the classified civil service of the United States may be set aside whenever it suits the pleasure of the officials, was demonstrated Monday morning when the house, by a strict party vote, laid on the table Representative Shallonberger's resolution calling on the secretary of war for the cause, and reasons of the dismissal of Miss Rebecca Y. J. Taylor, the war department clerk, whom Secretary Root ordered removed because she wrote and published in a local newspaper an article criticising the administration policy in the Philippines.
Chairman Gillette, of the house committee on reform in the civil service, reported the resolution recommending that it be laid on the table. The democrats demanded the yeas and nays, and all the republicans present voted to adopt the report.
Miss Taylor was never formally charged with any offense so that she could make answer thereto, as is provided for in the civil service regulations; so that her dismissal was clearly a violation of both the letter and the spirit of the law, and showed that persons employed by the government may not expect to exercise the right of free speech.
With this report, Gillette submitted a letter from Secretary Root written Saturday, in the which he following statement is made:
"No head of a department can maintain effective administration if he is obliged to depend on the service of clerks who are so violently opposed to the success of the work in which they are engaged that they are unable to refrain from public denunciation of the purpose of the work and public insult to the president."
As a matter of fact, "there was no "insult to the president" in Miss Taylor's article. Even some of the republicans who voted to adopt the committee report admit that Root's action in dismissing the clerk was wrong, and one for which no satisfactory excuse can be made.
Spain to Send Cuban Minister. It is announced at Madrid that the government has decided to appoint a minister to the Cuban republic.
TO OPEN NEW ROAD.
The Brunwick and Birmingham to Reach Nichols, Ga., July 4.
The Brunswick and Birmingham railroad will open its road to Nichols, Coffee county, Ga., July 4th, and the occasion will be marked with a grand free excursion, and barbecue, to which all friends of the road will be invited. Work is now being rapidly pushed to complete the road to Offerman, where connections will be made with the Offerman and Western, which road has been purchased by the Brunswick and Birmingham and which extends from Offerman to Nichols.
SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JUNE 21. 1902.
GOMEZ BOUGHT OFF?
Alleged That He Was Paid Not to Oppose Palmer.
CORRESPONDENT'S ALLEGATION
Washington Officials Deny All Knowledge of the Matter Palma Alsh Makee Denial, But Gomez
"Within a week there will be revealed at Washington the most sensational transaction that has yet come to light in connection with the investigation now going on of the expenditures of money made by Governor Leonard Wood during his regime in Cuba," said Charles M. Dobson, the former staff correspondent for the Associated Press at Havana, Cuba, who was in New Orleans Saturday on his way to New York.
"It will be disclosed that Governor Wood paid the sum of $25,000 to Maximo Gomez, the so called Cuban patriot, and this sum was a bribe paid with the sanction of the republican administration at Washington to prevent any outbreaks of the populace at the time of the last national election in the United States. I know just where the check for this sum of money can be found. I know right where to lay my hands on it.
No Secret About It;
"There is no secret about the payment of this bribe among the friends of General Wood, or those on the inside of the secrets of the administration of affairs under the Wood regime. President McKinley knew about it. General Wood did not make the payment of his own volition. He was advised to do so by the officials at Washington, who were in higher authority than he. The payment of the bribe was considered to be a matter of diplomacy, one of those diplomatic expedients that the officials of every nation in high authority have to resort to at times for the reason that unscrupulous men work themselves up into high places and have to be dealt with occasionally on practically their own terms.
"Gomez had posed as a patriot before the Cuban people, but it was known to General Wood that he had a price. It was purposely made clear to General Wood by representatives of Gomez, and to make the matter of financial recompense for any amelioration Gomez might bring about more emphatic Gomez began to advise his followers, the negroes for the most part, from eastern provinces, to 'take to the woods' in case they were unable to obtain the freedom at the hands of the United States for which they had so long fought. Finally Gomez made know the fact that he would consent to withdraw his name from before the people as a candidate for the presidency and advise his followers to abandon their hostile intentions if he should be allowed to use the sum of $25,000 in his work 'of pacification,' claiming that that amount was necessary for the purpose if it were to be carried through without any chance of failure."
Is News to Roosevelt.
A Washington special says: Regarding the New Orleans story that General Gomez received a $25,0000 bribe from the administration to withdraw from the Cuban campaign, thereby permitting the election of Estrada Palma, it was stated Saturday night by an official close to President Roosevelt that he had never before heard of it. Secretary Hay said that not until his attention was called to the story had he received the slightest intimation of it from any source.
Secretary Root thought the story was only an exaggeration of General Wood's action in granting a pension to General Gomez. The statement that General Wood had paid General Gomez money to withdraw from the Cuban campaign, Secretary Root said, was absurd on its face, as Gomez was one of President Estrada Palma's warmest friends.
Palma Denies; Gomez is Silent.
A special from Havana says: President Palma and General Gomez were questioned Sunday with regard to the alleged "brilhery" story.
President Palma indignantly denied that he had been a party to any scheme to have General Gomez withdraw from the campaign in his favor. He also spoke for General Gomez, who was present when Palma was questioned on this matter. The president of Cuba said that to insinuate Senior Gomez had been bought off by a bribe of $25,000 was to question the honesty and integrity of Gomez and himself and that such attacks would pass unanswered.
ON THE SPOONER SUBSTITUTE
Republicans May Comprömíls and Accord Cuba Some Degree of Reciprocity.
A Washington special says: The republican members of the senate committee on Cuban relations Tuesday finally agreed to the acceptance of the Spooner Bill, providing for reciprocity with Cuba and decided to ask that a conference of republican senators be called to consider its terms.
The conclusion was reached at a meeting of the republican members of the committee Tuesday morning. After the meeting adjourned the text of the bill was made public. It is a substitute for the house bill and is as follows:
"When the republic of Cuba shall enact a law or laws establishing preferential rates of customs duties on any or all articles, growth, production or manufacture of the United States imported into Cuba, which preferential rates shall be in the opinion of the president of the United States 66 institute a factor equivalent for the reduction hereinafter provided in the rate of customs duties upon articles the growth, production or manufacture of Cuba, imported into the United States, and he shall so declare by proclamation, thereupon and thereafter so long as such preferential duties shall be continued by the government of Cuba, not longer, however, than five years, the duties levled, collected and paid upon such articles so exported from Cuba to the United States shall be 80 per centum of the duties specified in the act entitled—
"An act to provide revenue for the government and to encourage the industries of the United States approved July 24, 1897, and duly amendment thereof, provided, however, that it shall be the duty of the president to thoroughly investigate through the diplomatic and consular representatives of the United States and Cuba and by such other means as he may deem it necessary to employ for such purpose whether the tariff concession herein before provided upon articles the growth, production or manufacture of Cuba substantially insures, so far as the articles of sugar and tobacco are concerned to the benefit of the producers of said articles in Cuba, and if the president shall be satisfied from such investigation that the substantial benefit of said concession upon either of said articles is inuring to the purchasers thereof, individual or corporate in the United States, it shall be his duty to so declare by proclamation to that effect and thereupon and thereafter so long as said conditions shall continue there shall be levied and collected upon such articles or that one of them as to which said condition exists, the rate of duty levied and collected by law upon such article or articles coming into the United States from other foreign countries."
PROTECT SELF AND HOME
Bishop Walter®, Coloré®, Su Advisees
Audience In Chicago® Mettings®
"The time has come when the black man must depend upon himself for protection. I do not stand for tribes, but every negro should be prepared to protect his home, his wife, and children, even to the death."
This advice was given at a meeting of negroes in Chicago Monday night by Bishop Alexander Walters, of the colored church of Ohio, after he had warned his hearers that all signs pointed to a time of great trouble for them. Bishop Walters is president of the Afro-American council.
The meeting was held in the Ollvet Baptist church, and was called for the purpose of taking action on the persecution of the negro residents of Eldorado and Harrisburg, Ill., and the lynching of Louis Wright, in Missouri.
A resolution was adopted and telephoned to Governor Yates calling on him to take immediate steps to protect the lives and property of the colored people at Eldorado and. Harrisburg, Ills.
Governor Yates, who is in Chicago, sald in regard to the matter:
"The autorities have been ordered to proceed against any persons who may have been guilty of assaults against the colored people of that locality, and law will be maintained."
TO ANNEX ISLAND OF CUBA.
Bill Is Introduced in the Senate With That Object in View.
Senator Elkins, Saturday, introduced a joint resolution in the senate providing for the annexation of Cuba and for its admission as a state of the union. The resolution grants the consent of congress to the erection of the republic of Cuba as a state of the union, "to be called the state of Cuba, with a republican form of government, to be adopted by the people of said republic by deputies in convention assembled with the consent of the existing government."
SHOT HER SIX BABES
Frightful Tragedy Enacted by a Poor, Demented Mother.
BURNED HOME AFTER CRIME
Children Were Found Scattered Over the Premises With Bullet Heels Their Heads—Mother Is
Details were received at Hazlehurst, Miss., Monday of one of the most horrible tragedies that ever occurred in that section of Mississippi.
Louls Westrope, a well-to-do and well-known farmer living near the little village of Brandywine, 30 miles southwest of Hazlehurst in the edge of Clalborne covefly, was attending services at a neighboring church Sunday with his grown daughter.
While there, in the middle of the service, a messenger hastened into the church and told him that all of his little children, six in number, had been murdered, his home in smoke and ashes, and his wife gone, or also murdered, and her body probably consumed by the fire which had destroyed his home. Arming themselves with shotguns and repeating rifles and procuring dogs., the male congregation hurried to the scene of the awful catastrophe.
SIX Dead Bodies Found.
Upon arrival at the learned home five dead children were found scattered affound the premises with bullet hysteres in the head of each child. Among the ashes of the ruins were found the charred bones of the infant. Diligent search failed to locate the body of the mother. Outside of the yard was found a bloody apron and tracks leading toward a swamp.
The evidence soon convinced the spectators that Mrs. Westropé had committed the terrible deed. Search was immediately instituted for her, and she was finally located Monday afternoon in a country grave yard, where she had sent the night.
When she saw the searching party she placed the same file with which she had the day before wrought the destruction of her own children to her heart and pulled the trigger, the bullet passing one inch below the heart, seriously, but not necessarily fatally, wounding her.
The woman conversed intelligently and said she did not know how she came to be in the grave yard or what she had done the day before.
Those who knew her and her family believe that she committed the crime while mentally deranged.
MAFIA AGAIN IN BUSINESS.
Invocation of Murders in New Orleans Reveals Secrets to Police.
In the customer's inquest at New Orleans Monday on the body of Bartolo Ferrard, Antonio Luciano, a Sicilian, gave all the facts of the killing as well as the vendetta which led up to it. So did his cousin, Luigi Luciano.
After this and other Sicilian assassinations of last week, all the witnesses to it, refused to talk. Each declared that he had not been present and had not seen any of the shooting.
They let it be understood that they settled their differences outside of the courts, by the use of the vendetta. This sudden change is welcomed by the police. It puts a very different light on the recent ambush and assassination, brings out the truth in regard to them and enables the police to suppress the attempt to revive the mafia and vendetta in New Orleans.
In the several shooting affrays of last week, three Sicilians were killed, three others were fatally wounded and will die and several slightly wounded.
Clark Named for. Rear Admiral.
The president Monday sent to the senate the name of Captain C. E. Clark, to be advanced seven numbers in rank and to be a rear admiral in the navy.
As Precautionary Measure Cincinnati and Topeka Go to La Guayra. The cabinet Tuesday discussed the situation in Venezuela. It was decided that one or two warships should be sent at once to La Guayra. This action was taken not upon definite advises, but in pursuance of the general policy of looking after American interests in case of disturbance. Later orders were sent to the Cincinnati and Topeka, now at San Juan, to proceed at once to La Guayra.

ST. PIERRE AND. ITS LIFE
exe LITTLE PORT, BUT WITH No
AVENUES OF ESCAPE:
pannel esc pate eet sei aC
conceive of the gay lttle port ‘of St.
Plerre. de Martinique covered with
Ashes and ta\ai, As do all the colonial
capitals of the French, St. Plerre fol-
lowed, as closely as ‘the steamers and
malls would permit the customs and
fashiens of Paris. At the Hotel des
Bains at thé “absinthe hour” one might
always find a gathering of the young
-inen of the town, who snt sippibg thelr
Mqueurs and chatting giyly. ‘
Where St. Pierre Was the codst, litte
curves inland Uke a slightly bent bow,
Describing it, one of the shopkeepers
on the Rug de Victor Hugo used to say
that the town was situated on a bay
shapet like a dilemma with a volcano
$n one horn and a tropical jungle on
the othér. He had got the phrase from
an English correspondent who had
wondered what the Inbabitants would
do'if such a calamity as the present
one ever occurred. The Englishntant
had noted the lack of roads leadiilg
from, the town and the futility tf any
hope of escape. ,
‘The town was built On thé fiat, nar-
row fore-shoré that lay between the
foot of the steep wooded mountains
ad the sea, The houses and shops
were built down to the water's edge,
\and clustered in Irregular groups about
the Cathedral, which was situated di
reetly opposite where the suijis lay In
the rondstend, ani} Wiis tlie most promi
Inent nrvhitéetiiral feature of the town.
It Was built of a whitish stone, and,
with its vo towers In which bells were
ing, was sharply accentuated against
the green background of the mount-
alms. The water front of the town ex-
tended for nearly two miles‘along the
sently curving coast. All the space
back to the hills that shut in the town
was filled with the low white houses of
the people. Some twéhty or tweilt}-
five streets ran down from the biig to
the water front. ‘These weye cut by ir-
regulat cross streets. .
‘he Rue de Victor Hugo wa’ tive
principal thoroughfare. All of the best
shops wero located vn it, and It served
as a parade for t® fashlonables when
they made their appearance in the cool
of the evening, arrayed in the white
tlucke, Panama hats and low-cut pat-
ent-leither shoes, and the women elther
In the year-old fashions of Paris or in
the striking zayly colored native garb.
‘The Cathedral, the Opera House
(where traveling companies played be-
fore enthusiastic audiences), the Hotel
des Balns, and the banks were proba-
biy the Jargest and best built buildings
in the town. Fretich was the common
langage, ahd nearly all of the white
people Were of French extraction. * It
was a lvely place, and its people had
some of the light spirit and gayety of
their Gallic Kinsmen, Always on com-
ing into the harbor passengers noted
the apparent freshness and cleanliness
of the place. The white houses with
their green blinds and tiled or thatched
Toofs, the gay striped attnitgs aba
vivid green of the background mdde
cool, pleasant picture, Ashdre, the
bright costuhies of thé natlre girls,
the hiovement of the street life and the
‘strangeness of the mew scenes was a
source of constant interest to tourists
‘The upper or new town was the most
attractive part of the place. The streets
were broader’ and cleaner and the
Luildings of a better quality. All of
the streets were narrow, the prineipal
one (ie Rue de Victor Hugo) being
cearcely wide enough to permit two
carriages to pasy abreast. .
Throvgh every street ran an open
gutter of water from the hills, afd
early in the morning, just when the
cool dawn-wind was coming down
from the monntains, these Butters
would he allve with people. The na-
tive women would bring out their tall
carthen jars, ealled “Welsy hats” by
the resident Englishmen, to be filled
‘with the cool fiowing water. Babies
were broucht out ani allowed to dis-
port themselves, while thelr mothers
cieaned the Household utensils. ‘The
streams bping fed from mountain lakes,
cleapiiness in dress and habitation was
common, even among the lowest
classes, 7
Back from St. Pierre about eight
miles, on a winding mountain road,
was ihe fashionable native resort,
Merne Rouge. Here the rich reeldents
had thelr country homes, and it is
probable that when the flead of fire,
Java and ashes came down frovi Mont
Peleg these were among the frst houses
destroyed. In the season, which began
about June 1, there were usually 4000
or 5000 persons at Morne Rouge. Prob-
ably half that numbey, had gone out
this year to open their villas.
‘cane the tropical undergrowth came to
within a few yards of the houses, and
the beach ended at the city Imits,

Making su Almanacy
One 6f the mio$t proftible publicd-
tions of the world is an almanac. ft
hung Gre for a long time until an accl-
dont caused a furore in its favor. In
predictlug what would happen in the
Weather Department, a clerk, or assist-
ant editor, said to the manager, “I've
finished the year with the exception of
one day. What shall we do with that?”
“What Js the day?” the manager asked,
“Thursday, June 14.” “Oh, say it will
snow.” The clerk dld so, and thought
ro more about It-until June 14 arrived
and the snow fell. Tie miracle was
the talk of all England, and when pcos
ple discovered that the almanac had
predicted {t the demand for the publi-
cation was dificult to satiefy. ‘The
work has never been exactly ,right
