Reyes Says He Comes to This Country to Offer The United States all the Conces? sions Contained in the Hay-Her ran Treaty Absolutely Free of Cost. Washington, Nov. 2.-That the Re? public of Colombia grant to the United States ali the concessions provided for in the Hay-Herran treaty, but abso? lutely free of cost, is the poposition which Gen. Rafael Reyes, envoy of Colombia to the United States ou a special mission, brings for the con? sideration of the officials of Washing? ton. Gen. Reyes, who arrived today, talk? ed with a representative of the Asso? ciated Press about his mission to Washington. He said : "You will readily admit the pro? priety of my refraining from discussing my misson, which is of a confidential character, but of the offers which Colombia is ready to make I desire to say that my energies and those of my followers will be devoted to the grant? ing of the canal concessions to the United States without the payment of a cent. Even at this Colombia will be the gainer." "You can say," ' continued the General, "that all Colombia is afire with zeal for the building of the canal by the United States, and that the unfortunate political troubles which were the sole cause of- the treaty's death before the Colombian Congress have entirely disappeared. We want the canal, and I have come to Washing? ton to see what the people of the United States are prepared to accept. 1 come with instructions from the President of Colombia direct." "What is the feeling in Colombia about the Panama revolution?" Gen. Royes was asked. "Feeling is running high and there is indignation over the events on the isthmus. We can and will put down the rebellion if not interfered with from the outside. So tense is the feeling and so national tho spirit of determination to bring the isthmus back into the Republic that President; Marroquin will have no trouble in rais? ing an army twice the size necessary to put down the disturbance. Such ari army can march overland to the isth ? mus, the opinion of ill advised persons to the contrary notwithstanding " "What can the United States do, now that a treaty has been sighed by Secretary Hay and M. Bunau-Varilla?" "That treaty has not been ratified. The Colombian Government does not ask the United Staes to aid in putting down the revolution on- the isthmus. Ali we ask is to be allowed to conduct our own affairs free from outside inter? ference. If the United States main? tains a neutral position the revolution will be put down." When his attention was called to the reports from Panamanians and other sources that he had come to Washington to conduct a lobby to defeat the ratification of the treaty, he said very emphatically : "I authorize the Associated Press to say Jkr me at the outset of my visit tba- my movements here shall be stri ,'y in accordance with the powers witl which I am clothed. ? shall deal witpthe officials of the Washington Government direct, to whom I bear letters of credence from the Bogota Government. I am not here as a pri? vate agent and I shall ignore such re? flections upon my personal and official character." Gen. Keyes had.a conference today witli Senor Walker-Martinez, the Chilian minister, who called soon after the envoy arrived. Lynching rn Dorchester. St. George, Nov. 2S.-The first lynching in Dorchester county took place at Rosses, a small town about twelve miles from here, reports of whi?h have just been received. From what your correspondent can gather fTom the meagre reports, it seems that a young lady living three miles from Rosses was assaulted by one John Fogle, a colored man of about 30 years of age, who was fright? ened away before he could accomplish his purpose, leaving his victim in a bad condition from the effects of his brutal fingers on her throat. Bloodhounds from Charleston be? longing to Mr. Burton were sent for and arrived on the midnight train. The trail was -inmediately taken and the fiend speedily caught, when, after identification by his victim, he was strung to a tree and his body riddled with bullet?. Such examples are awful, and tiie orly remedy is that taken by this crowd of determined men. Hobsons WHd Scheme. Washington, Nov. ??.--Former Com? mander Richmond Pearson Hobson, of the navy, has prepared a bill, which he has requested Representative Whey, of Alabama, to introduce in the House on the convening of the regular ses? sion of Congress, for the purpose, as he says, of making the United States the first naval Power of the world during the next eighteen years. The bill makes a total appropriation of g2, 750,000,000, a certain portion of which is to be uesd each year for new ships. Fifty million is made available for the present fiscal year, sixty million for tlie next, and so on increasing by ten million each year up to 1915, when a lump appropriation of $1,500,000,000 is made to carry on the program to 1925. Washington, Nov. 26.-The end of the San Domincan revolution is offi? cially recorded in a cablegram received at the State department today from United States Minister Powell dated yesterday. The minister reported that allwasquiet; thatthe President (Wos y-Gilj and the Cabinet were to leave for Cuba. The Newport had with? drawn her marines from the city of San Domingo. The revolutionary party guaranteed order and safety for all persons. The election for a Presi? dent to succeed the deposed Wos-V-Gil will take place in three months. Elk playing cards.

Savannah, Ga., Nov. 29.- Safe blow? ers raided the department store of Foye & Eckstein on Broughton street at an early hour this moruing, dynamited the safe and secured be? tween $1,700 and 81,800, the sales and collections of Saturday after banking hours. Entrance was effected through the basement in the receiving depart? ment. The store is situated near the heart of the principal shopping street and there were three policemen on station within calling distance all through the night. But so cleverly was the burglary perpetrated that there was no suspicion of robbery until after 9 o'clock in the morning. The burglars broke off the knob of the combination lock with a cold chisel, filled the aperture in the lock with dynamite, built a barricade around the safe with bolts of cloth, covered it and the safe with blankets and comforters saturat? ed with water and then touched off the charge. SD scientifically had the muffler for the explosion been con? structed that gold fish in a jar above the safe were not injured, notwith? standing the explosive charge was so heavy that the safe door was torn from both hinges and lock. The burglars touched nothing but cash. Every drawer in every desk in the office was rifled and a number of checks were found on the floor, but investigation showed that nothing is missing except money. From the character of the work the police are convinced that the work was done by professional cracks? men. * ' Cubans Want a Lottery. Havana, Nov. 2.-The Senate today passed the national lottery bill by a vote, which is believed to indicate that it will probably pass the measure over President Palm's veto, should he disapprove it. The strongest opponents of the bill vere absent from today's session. The measure, as amended, directs that the lottery's functions shall begin within seventy days after the law authorizes the President to issue instructions and regulations for tbe carrying out of the lottery plan. It is believed that the bill will with? out difficulty pass the House. A majority of "the Senators are said to believe that the establishment of a lottery, is the most reasonable way of obviating the tax difficulties ia accord? ance with the wishes of the people. No Transatlantic Race. Berlin, Nov. - 2.- Emperor William has withdrawn his offer of a cup for a Trans-Atlantic yacht race in 1904, on account of Iiis health, and has substi? tuted for it the offer of a cup to be raced for in 1905. The Emperor, through his represen? tative, cabled his decision to the American yachtsmen today, with his reasons for the postponement. These are that the prolonged period of the Emperor's recovery and the consequent accumulation of all business has pre? vented him from receiving his yachting advisers to arrange the details for a Trans-Atlantic race until it was too late for the designers and builders to have new yachts ready for a contest in the spring of 1904. WHAT SIR THOMAS ^LIPTON SAYS. London, Nov. 28.-Sir Thomas Lip? ton today received a telegram from Lord Lonsdale notifying him of Em? peror William's withdrawal of his offer. Lord Lonsdale added that the Emperor, therefore, would not take advantage of Sir Thomas Lipton's withdrawal. Sir Thomas replied pointing out that it was useless for him to renew his offer. Sir Thomas Lipton hopes to enter a boat in tho race for the Em? peror's cup in 19C?. Why Seek Cotton Lands. The President of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce predicts that West Africa will before long be the chief source of England's cotton sup? ply. We have no apprehensions about the South losing her supremacy in cotton production. Producing now 80 per cent of the world's supply, it is likely to continue this ratio in spite of the persistent search in "West Afri? ca, India, Egypt, and islands of the sea to find cotton producing lands. But why should the cotton spinners of the world seek elsewhere for land that will produce cotton? The point is well made by the Jacksonville Times Union that there are countless acres in the South not now employed in cot? ton production which are available for English cotton manufacturers or any? body else interested in producing a larger cotton crop. Why search around the world for land and climate suit? able for producing cotton, when mil? lions of acres are available in the Southern states that are just as ad? mirably suited for producing the great staple as the acres which are now thus employed. It has been well established that the price of cotton depends on the amount of production, and if manufacturers desire to interest themselves in pro? ducing more cotton they will find land available in the cotton belt of the United States that will produce as much more cotton as has ever beeai produced in any year. There is noth? ing to hinder them from making arrangements for the production of this cotton here, where it is no longer an experiment, instead of mak? ing costly experiments in other coun? ties where soil, climate and season are not propitious.-Augusta Chron? icle. There has just occurred at Madrid a case that is extremely rare, if not ab? solutely nnique, in criminal annals that a man imprisoned on the charge of murder, and being sentenced to death and afterwards reprieved witn out his knowing it. The man named Jose Espero Cuellar, had, in circum? stances of great provocation, murdered a faithless sweetheart, and, although he was in jail, trial for thc crime had been conducted without his being pro? duced, or even knowing that the case had come on. Even when sentence of death was pronounced, nobody deemed it his immediate duty to inform the person most concerned. One day some time after, reading a newspaper that had been allowed him, Cuellar there read the announcement of hisjreprieve, and, petitioning to see the Governor of the prison learned for the first time ail that had happened. jffc SITER CLOTHING co.
