f AVOR ARBITRATION.
Lctin-Americans Vote to Make , It
i r, Compulsory. - , ;ii
WASHINGTON. Nov. 26. Disputes.
s from Madrid deterred in official diplo
matic quartet's here inske the first Car
Oouneement that in , the debates before
ihe Latin-American congress, whose ses
sions have just been concluded, the, prin
ciple of compulsory arbitration urgsd by
the Peruvian delegates has been by al
most unanimous vote adopted, Chile alone
holding out and protesting against the ac
tion takes. The decision not only favors
compulsory arbitration iu disputes be
tween the American republics, but also
provides that guarantees shall be given
for the faithful performance of the con
clusions reached by the arbitration tri
bunal. - .
Aside from the immediate question in
volved, the decision of the congress is
regarded in South American quarters as
significant of the alignment of the south;
ern republics on the increasing differ-
dices which have arisen of late and
which are threatening to bring about a
general crisis involving most, if not all,
of the South American countries. Sev
eral events have occurred recently indi
cating a widespread movement. Peru has
been making desperate efforts to regain
her provinces of Tucna and Arica. which
are a sort of border hostage held for the I
last ten years by Chile. ' Bolivia is in
volved in the same controversy, as she
has lost her seacoast to Chile and is now
seeking to save a part of it. The latter
question was recently brought to a direct
issue by the presentation of a demand
from Chile, generally construed as an ul-
timatutn, requiring Bolivia to publicy ac- 1
knowledge by treaty the sovereignty of 1
Chile over the seacoast in question.
Aboilt a month ago Chile adopted the J
compulsory military system, under which
every male citizen on reaching the age of
19 years must serve as a soldier. This
has caused widespread concern in South
America and has led ether countries to
take steps toward similar military equip
ment. -Ecuador has declared its purpose
of adopting a systcr liS.- that of Chile,
and Peru, which now has only 2,000 sol
diers, has taken steps to have a general
enlistment in its national guard.
But the chief concern has been express
ed ih Argentina and Brazil, as it is the
feeling in those countries that the power
ful armaments of Chile are not requited
against such enfeebled states as Peru,
Bolivia,-, Ecuador and the ether northern
republics, but will be used against Chile's
more powerful neighbors in the south.
Argentina and Chile are separated by a
long boundary line, which is now in dis
pute. The presidents of Brazil and Argen
tina have exchanged visits, aud during
the stay of President Campos-Sailes at
Buenos Ayres recently consideration was
given to united action on some of these
pending South American controversies.
Mytekionji Death of Brothers.
PERU, Ind., Nov. 2C The decompos
ed bodies of Jerry and Patrick Hol
land, brothers, aged 02 and 50 years
respectively, were found in their home
yesterday. No marks of violence were
evident, and as the men when last seen
eight or ten days ago were drinking it is
believed they were drugged, the poison
taking effect soon after they reached
their home. The brothers were noted f cr
their affection for each other, and their
appearance and actions were so nearly
alike that they were generally known as
the "two dromios." They were light
hearted and cheerful in disposition, and
the theory of suicide is not entertained.

heavy, and as there was no wind it will
make excellent sleighing. Lumbering
commenced throughout the Adirondacks
.today. Trains were delayed from two to
four hours throughout northern New

WASHINGTON, Nor. 20. A dispatch

plaint of this government that the Fili
pino junta in Hongkong is violating the

Precise Terms of Settlement Not Made
. . . . ' ' rKnown."- : ,.
PEKING, Nov.. 28. -The diplomatic
body held a unal meeting1 Saturday and
agreed upttn the terms of the preliminary
treaty. Nothing now remains -except to
secure, the approval of the respective gov
ernments before definite negotiations
with , the Chinese peace . commissioners
are begun. ; , .
The precise terms' of the -settlement
have not yet been made public here, but
it is believed outside the diplomatic corps
that the main points are in substantial
agreement' with those, contained in the
French note to the powers namely, pun
ishment for the guilty, indemnity to gov
ernments and individuals, retention of
strong legation guards and the occupation
of certain places between Peking aud
Taku.
A party of American cavalry went to
disperse a band of bandits iu a village 10
miles from Peking. The village was
found strongly fortified, but the Ameri
cans attacked and captured it, killing
seven Chinese.
A secret edict from Sian-fu to the pro
vincial viceroys and governors orders
them to cease the manufacture of modern

"The foreign envoys have agreed to
demand," says a special dispatch from
Peking, "an extension of the legatiuu

and Tartar cities, a strip a mile long and
a third of a mile wide. M. de Giers.
Russian minister, has declined to yield
on the indemnity question and soms
kind of a verbal compromise has been
arranged."
The Morning Post publishes the fol
lowing from its Peking correspondent,
dated Saturday:
"Wang Wen Chao, now a cabinet min
ister, has written to Sir Robert Hart
from Sian-fu that Emperor Kwang Su
would be glad to return to Peking, but
that his majesty would 'lose his face' if
foreign troops were there."
The Tien-tsin . correspondent of Tho
Standard asserts that "the Russian volte
face dates from the czar's illness."
Shanghai sends another batch of re
ports from Chinese sources. Among
these is a rumor that the allies have
reached Wei-hui-fu, 800 miles east of
Sian-fu, and are proceeding westward.
Another is that the tnotai of Chu-chau-fu,
in the province of Che-kiang, has
' been dismissed, and 16 ringleaders of
missionary murders have been captured.
A third says that a Chinese official has
arrived at the capital of the province of
Hu-Uan with orders to organize a mi
litia force of 50,000 Boxers.
The Shanghai correspondent of The
Daily Express wires that the Russians
are assuring the Chinese that the Amur
massacres were really repugnant to the
Russian officers, but were carried out
under orders of Count von Wnldersee.
The Shanghai correspondent of The
Times telegraphs that advices from Pe
king say that the United States has re

Land Titles In a Tangle-Good Ilonus
n XeeesKity.
WASHINGTON, , Nov. 20. The com
missioner of the interior for Porto Eico,
William H. Elliot, in his annual report
to the secretary of the interior says that
much expert manipulation as well as de
tective ingenuity will be needed to un
tangle the mass of cross titles, duplica
tion and lapping of grants and conces
sions and unauthorized occupation of
public lands that have grown with the
centuries of rule in the interest of the
favored few. The archives of tho island
were found in a disordered condition.
Many records of cases never have been
closed and are mixed with those disposed
of. Rearrangement and classification are
necessary prior to investigation. During
the earlv history of Porto Rico governors
' and captains general held or assumed
the right to make grants of land. Gran
tecs appropriated land in excess of their
original boundaries, and their successors
claim ownership. Mauy grants were
abandoned. In numerous instances in
truders took possession.
The first great, crying -need of Porto
Rico, the report says, is good roads. At
tho time of the American occupation
there was only one really good road, that
from San Juan to Ponce, and most of
the island was and practically remains
without other means of reaching a mar
ket or .communication between towns
than over dilapidated and dangerous
trails, often impassable for days, as all
streams there are torrential. The pro
ductiveness of the soil ,is so great and
the necessities for existence so inexpen
sive that people can and do live and mul
tiply in mountain districts, but remain
forever poor and ignorant.
Permanent roads, it is predicted, Will
work out the sadly needed reforms iu
education. The commissioner proposes
to suggest to the legislature that n loan
be floated large enough to build the most
needed roads at once.
Amendment Instead of Repeal.
ALBANY, Nov. 26. The state tax
commission after a week's work in this
city at their headquarters took an ad
journment on Saturday. The commis
sioners are not at all disturbed over the
rumors that the franchise tax law will be.
repealed. ' They all say frankly that they
do hot believe that such action will be
taken, but that,, to the contrary, amend
ments perfecting the measure will be
made so that the collection of the tax
may be expedited. " One member of tho
commission said, "An amendment will
undoubtedly be made to the law that will
allow a better equalization of the assess
ment." t . .

There was a very exciting runaway
in this section yesterday which cre
ated a little stir and consternation for
the time being. About 5:30 a horse
which was attached to a trap carriage
came flying down upper Bank street
past the brewery, dashed down Bank
street, causing teams to hurry quickly
out of the way and pedestrians to run
for shelter, increa.-'ing in speed as it
went. Several endeavors were made
by spectators to check the raging ani
mal but iu vain, until Riverside street
was reached, where Officer Goggins
ran out and caught it. Officer Gog
gins was warmly applauded by the
spectators for the admirable maimer
in winch he stopped the flying animal. .
The horse was severely cut about the
logs. due. ;:o doubt, to striking tha
front axle, which was dragging along
the ground, one of the wheels' being
knocked off. The horse was brought
into Kelly's barn, where the owner,
wlicse name could not be ascertained,
but who lives on Maple street, found
him. Tile owner stated lie had hitched
the horse to a post away up in Town
Plot while, he went into a house to
make a call. He used the rt'Iiig to
hitch hiin. While he was in the houss?
the horse was frightened in some un
known maimer aud he dashed away,
the reins breaking. Dr Bland was
summoned to attend the horse, which
is a rather valuable one. and he found
him to be severely cut. The horse wts
later removed to Dr Bland's stables
