waged -without decided advantage to
cither side. General Lara, of the Nica

position near the city. was repulsed by
General Estrada's artillery and bub
tsined small losses.
The situation at Rama remains tin
changed. General Mena, of the insur

General Chavarria, who has directed his
strength against Rama unsuccessfully.
The jrovernment troops landed from
the Venus occupy a position on the

either attack the bluff from an inland
position or make a detour and cut the

The Insurgents* strength in this city
has been increased by the enlistment of
one thousand volunteers. Bo far Gen

HOPE TO SAVE THE DEWEY
Great Dock Slowly Sinking-
Malicious Action Doubted.
Manila, May 25.— 1t is the general
opinion that the sinking of the drydock
Dewey yesterday was due to careless
ness, rather than to a deliberate purpose
of the station employes, who are Jap
anese, to cause damage.
The expert «= nay that the great dock,
y which -w-fic to-ne<j here from the United
States at much expense.- will be saved,
though it seems probable that It trill be
submerged before to-morrow- morning.
The electrical rn»-hinery which operates
the valves is badly damaged.
The port side, including the pumps.
was submerged to-day, and was partly
resting on the bottom. The starboard
side •'■as still exposed, but was settling
slowly. It is doubtful whether the star
board pumps alone could avail much.
The tug: Piscataqua was waiting to as
sist when the sea was calmer.
A NEW CRETAN FROFOSAL
France and England Desire Return to
Former Conditions.
Paris, May 86— France and Great Britain
submitted to-day to the governments of
Russia ari Italy, the other two protecting
power?, a propo«sal to invite Crete to ad
mit Mussulman Deputies to the Cretan
Assembly and thue restore the status quo
of prior bo
Areordine to this plan, which, it is be
lieved, Russia and Italy will accept, Crete
would retain its autonomy under the su
zerainty of Turkey.
The proposal was the remit of ronfer
■M held between Fir Edward Grey, the
British Foreign Minister, and M. "Pichon,
•.*■ + rrench Foreign Minister, during the
latter* stay in London, where he went as
the represemative of France to attend the
funeral of King Edward.
St. Petersburg. May 25.— M. I?wo".sky,
the Foreign MlniMer, had a conference to
day with the ambassadors of Great Brit
ain. France and Italy on the Cretan sltu
tion.
Some of the protecting powers have
urged the reintroductlon of International
garrison? at Crete as the best way to pre
serve a pacific state of affairs- and this
suggestion was the principal topic of dis
cussion to-day.
Russia is" opposed to the plan, and this
was definitely made known to the foreign
diplomat? by M- Iswolsky. Turkey .is . not
satisfied with the present status and de
mands that Crete be garrisoned either by
international or Turkish troops.
CONTROL IN THE FAR EAST
Status of Russo-Japanese Negotiation
— Corean Plans.
■t Petersburg, May 25. — projected
Russo-Japanese agreement on Far Eastern
affairs continues to be a lively subject of
exchanges between the two governments.
"While an official statement of the con
clusions thus far reached is not available,
it is learned that the scope of the proposed
compact ha? gradually narrowed down until
row it embraces only the question of the
Man=hurian Railroad. The status of Corea
is not involved.
The exchanges have, however, served to
develop something of Japan's Intentions re
garding Corea. The indications are that its
annexation Is not contemplated, but rather
that all Corean officials are to be replaced
by Japanese. The 16>a of inviting the
Corean Emperor to transfer his residence
from Seoul to Japan has been abandoned.

Don't be discouraged by the length of "Nathan Burke." You will read and

and grandchildren will also read them, and this can be said truly of few current
popular novels.
It is unfortunate that you should have been misled into buying many worthless
novel? by unscrupulous advertisements and still more unscrupulous so-called re
views. ''Nathan Burke" is different. You will be glad that this advertisement
induced you to buy it,

"Nathan Burke" * s published by The Macmillan Company, and our recom

so many poor novels are widely advertised and exploited.

"The longer we abide with her friendly group
more interesting they become and the more
sorry are we to find the volume in our hand
growing thicker on its left. However, one
may always read again, and the reading again
and yet again brings out subtle revelations,
delicate nuances, at first unperceived. Espe

HOTEL CHAMPLAIN GONE
Destroyed by Fire with Lots of
About $300,000.
SIXTY EMPLOYES ESCAPE
House Not Yet Open for the
Season— Aid from Platts
burg- Unavailing. .
I - Albany. May 25.— The Hotel Champlain, at
j Fluff Point. N. V.. on Lake Champlain. one
j of tha largest and finest hotels in Northern
j New York, was destroyed by fire early to
! day. The hotel had not been opened for
j the summer season, and consequently there
; were no guests at the house. There was no
: less -of life. The property was owned by
the Delaware and Hudson Company. -
Although the cause of the fire has not
been ascertained, it is believed that it re
sulted from a lighted cigarette, or cigar
: carelessly thrown aside. C. S. Sims, vice
', president of the Delaware and Hudson
I Company, said to-day that the loss would
| amount to about $200,000. It was insured
' for $233,000.
! The hotel was to • have been opened for
I the summer season on "June 25, and there
! v ere about sixty employes in the building
when the fire, was discovered by one cf
the housekeepers. It started in the central
part of the main structure on one of the
upper floors and spread quickly. The. oc- j
cupants of the building were aroused and
succeeded in getting safely out of the burn
ing structure.- some of them scrambling
down over the broad verandas.
Although the Fire Department from
, Piattsburg was summoned and two com
panies of regulars from the barracks^ two
miles away, were quickly on the scene,
they were powerless to step the progress
Of the flames, which soon spread to the
annex. The immense wooden structures
burned fiercely, and the fire could be seen
for miles up and down Lake Champlain.
The Hotel Champlain, on Bluff Point, the
most commanding promontory on the west
ern shore of Lake Champlain, three miles
south of Plattsburg, was famous as a sum
mer resort and was one of the show places i
of Northern New York. The. hotel, which j
was first opened in IMb was a wooden j
structure, five stories high, with capacity j
for hundreds of guests. The grounds, con
sisting of several hundred acres of park,
woodland and lawns, are dotted here and
there with cottages, and there are several
miles of forest, cliff and lakeside walks and
drives. A few years ago th© original
capacity of the hotel was nearly doubled
by the. erection of an annex. Bluff Point
was a favorite spot of the late President
McKinley. and the hotel "was the summer j
capital of th© United States at one period j
of 'his administration. It commanded a j
view for miles up and down the lake and ;
was the headquarters of the New York ■
State Lake Champlain Tercentary Com- j
mission during last summer's celebration, •
when President Taft was entertained there.
On June 24 last the Fort William Henry
Hotel, on Lake George, another, large hotel
owned by the Delaware and Hudson Com- ,
pany, was destroyed by fire under -some- j

AS TO INFANT DAMNATION
Southern Presbyterians Adopt
, Amendment to Creed.
' Lewisbnrg, W. Va., M*y 25:— After stand
ing for two centuries and a half as" a doc
trine of the Church, the "elect infant"
clause of the confession of faith' of the
Southern Presbyterian Church was recom
mended for revision to-day in the General
Assembly, in session 'here. ; The €hnrch has
been divided into factions on the question,
which has been a subject of controversy
for years.
The question arose from the comment
being mad" that if "elect" infants are
saved there most be some infants that are
not "elect." How to say, in churchly lan
guage, that the Church holds that all in
fants are "elert" has been the problem.
Thos» who favored artion by the Church
on th« subject were divided into two clattes.
One urged a foot note to the eantasstonal;
the other advocated boldly changing the.
warding of the "elect infant" clause itaeff.
After a sharp debate the latter expedient
we? adopted to-day. The amendmem.
which goes to the presbyteries for their
approval, is as follows:
"Of those whom God hath- given to .the
Lord Jesus to be His s«»ed. such as are in
capable of being outwardly called by th»
ministry of the Word are regenerated and
saved by Christ through the spirit who
worketh when, and where, and how He
pleaseth." / ■ • •

THE NEW NOVEL
NEW ORIENTAL SOCIETY
To Promote interests of Far
Easterners in All Countries.
HOLDS ITS FIRST MEETING
Occident Outnumbers, but Orient
Makes Up This Deficiency
by Gorgeous Robe 3.
The International Society of the Orient
and the Occident, which received a certifi
cate of incorporation in the Supreme Court
yesterday, held its first public meeting last
night at the Hotel Manhattan. The Occi
dent was decidedly in the ascendancy ex
cept In the matter of dress, for none out
shone the splendor of E. X. Tchor-Ba j-Oglu,
Effendl, the president and founder and
chief cook and bottlewasher. He wore a
yellow robe which swept the ground,
adorned with glittering buttons, and a white
■turban.
Euthimlos. for that is his first name. m\&
he was a Greek Turk and that it was his
mission in life to make the society a .suc
cess; a far higher mission, he explained,
thsn the teaching of the occult, in which he
confessed an interest. Another Oriental in
native costume was Louis L*". assistant
pastor of the Presbyterian Mission. Mr.
L*e. who is a Chinaman, had on a purple
toga.
And then there was a near-Oriental pres
ent—the Baroness de Rebagrliati. The bar
oness, whose native land Is Italy, they say,
wore a crown that dazzled the eye of the
beholder, and robes to match, i*
Some material distributed by the press
a sent said the company would contain
"Henry Clews, attired in his imperial
Turkish robe and turban, the new insignia
of th© society pinned to his breast— an em
blem of peace, charity and good will."
Millard J. Bloomer, chairman of the ex
ecutive committee, told the reporters that
this was a mistake— that Mr. Clews was
expected, but in plain clothes. At a late
hour the banker had not appeared, much
to the disappointment of the promoters.
All hands held a reception first. They
didn't stand about and buzz in knots, as is
the custom at a tea fight. They sat, mest
of them, and . held subdued consultations,
dividing into national groups. It is the
society's object to overcome this diffidence
in time. Its various objects follow.:
To promote social, commercial and po
litical relations between the Orient and the
United States.
To aid, protect and educat9 all immi
grants; as far as possible and co-operat°
with the I'nited States government in its
efforts toward making better citizens of
immigrants and in their proper distribu
tion throughout the iand.
To promulgate the movement of the
world's peare. pood will and unity of re
ligion between the people and nations of
the Orient and the Occident.
"To found an International Institution of
the Orient, including an Oriental museum
and trade school with an educational de
partment."
. The president read off these eeveral ob
jects, after the reception when the meet
ing had been called to ord*r. They were
approved of by Loring Townsend Hlldreth.
former Siamese Consul General, who fol
lowed with an address, in which he told

CURTISS DELAYS FLIGHT
Machine Not Assembled — A
Stopping Place Found.
. Albany. May 25.-G>nn H. Curtiss said
to-night that he probably would not at
tempt to-morrow morning to earn th*
|Ho.«n& prize for an aeroplane flight from
Albany to 4 New York.
Mr. Curtl£3 arrived, here at 8 o'clock to
night from New York . and Poukbkeepsie.
It was raining hard. His machine had been
brought on from Hammondsport and me
chanics had been working to assemble I
all day. but Mr. Curtlsa did not know, what
progress they had mad-. And he felt that.
even if the machine were ready to start the
next moment, he ought, to Inspect it by
daylight before he intrusted hi* life and
the success of his venture to it. The ma
chine Is new under canvas on Van Rens
=elaer Island, about a mile below the city.
and is only partially assembled.
Further Inspection to-day of the route
that Curtiss must travel only served to ac
centuate Its extraordinary difficulties. He
must positively descend to replenish his
gasolene. The extra weight he carries in
airtight pontoons makes it impossible for
him to carry engine fuel enough for a.
through trip.
• At Poughke-pste Curtiss and his wife and
Augustus Pr9t, of the Aero Club of Amer
ica, who accompanied him. spent four
hours this afternoon scurrying about the
countryside In an automobile. First they
tried the lawn in front ~of th* Hudson
River Eta»» Insane Hospital. "You might
as well land here as anywhere," said the
superintendent, laughing, "all the crazy
people la.nd here eventually."
The lawn In front of the Vassar Brothers'
Hospital was equally^ impracticable, but
finally a meadow was found about three
miles south of Poughkeepsie. reasonably
smooth, not too closely bordered by trees
and accessible from the river. It is by no
means an ideal landing ground, but it Is
the best that can be found, and Curtiss will
utilize It. He 13 allowed two stops, but
hopes to make only cne. He is not likely
to make more, for there are no other stop
ping points.

night said that he would compete for the
