NO LOOTING DONE Minister Conger Refutes False and Damaging Statements. MISSIONARIES ARE INNOCENT Rev. Ament, of the American Foreign Missionary Board, Also Makes Denia'. In reference to the accusations of looting made against missionaries. United States Minister Conger, who arrived at San Francisco Wednesday night, makes the following statement: “The Americans have a larger num ber of missionaries out there than any other nation, and I am frank to say that, nnder the circumstances, there are very few things which the mission aries have done, if any, for which there need to be any apology whatever. The stories of their looting are false, to my knowledge. “Believing that onr government would not demand a monetary indem nity for the murder and pillaging of native Christians, I advised them that wherever they could make settlements with the villages where those murders nr destruction of property had taken place to make them on their own re sponsibility. Li Hung Chang and Yeu Mao suggested that settlement could be made in this way with the least possible friction. There was no going out and compelling the people to pay anything. It was altogether voluntary on their part. “ The missionaries have been criti sized severely for going, immediately after the siege was raised, into aban doned houses for shelter for themselves and the native coolies who were ex pelled from their homes. As to this I told them ‘if there is a boxer’s habita tion abandoned, take possession of i‘, so you can have a place in which o shelter and take care of the ua ive Christians.’ ” Speaking of the siege Mr. Conger said: “It took every man we had to stand by ihe women and children. If not, the legation conld not have lived, and without the native Christians, none of ns would have been saved. The mis sionaries were not the prime causes of the trouble; they were only one of the causes. The missionaries were not responsible for the building of the railroads or for any of the other for eign innovations against which the hatred of the boxers seemed to be di rected. ” MISSIONARY AMENT TALKS. Rev. A. S. Ament, of the American hoard of foreign missions of the Con gregational church, whose collection of indemnity for damages done by boxers in China has caused consider able discussion, takes vigorous excep tions to the criticisms made by Mark Twain and others as to the alleged misconduct of the missionaries. Ho says: “We found ourselves at the close of the siege with 500 native Christians upon onr hands, no food, no clothing, no money and every Christian house burned. “On the very day of the arrival of the allied forces we were informed that we must leave the British legation, as it was to be used as headquarters for the officers of the British army. I im mediately thought of a Mongol prince, Hsi Ling, who was an ally of the box ers and whose place was the headquart ers of boxers and blacklegs. We found the prince’s placo entirely empty and the next day we brought up onr na tive Christians and occupied the de serted place. In that house and in neighboring houses that we occupied we put more than 400 people. W’e took only abandoned property. “The only food in the prince’s place was a bit of rice. We dicided to sell the clothing and curios found upon the premises and realized $2,500 in gold. They were bonght by British and American officers at a private sale of two weeks’ duration. “Native Christians brought up fnrs and sable which they had purchased at a low price from wealthy Chinese who feared they might be looted by the military people, and who were willing to dispose of them for a little money. These articles were sold at our place to British aud other officers. I con sidered that that was a fair, honest speculation, which injured nobody and which benefited many people. There may have been some looted goods taken, but it was without my knowl edge. The Russian and Sikh soldiers were selling truck very cheap, but my people did aot do the looting.” Assistant Postmaster Arrested. Chief Postoffiee Inspector Cochran, at Washington, has been notified of the arrest of Jacob Israel, assistant postmaster at Ocala, Fla. Israei is charged with the embezzlement of money order funds, whose amount is not stated. OIL GUSHER IN LOUISIANA, Stream Went Sixty Feet Into the Air When Oil Was Touched.

The boom in new England indus tries continues and reports from the factory centres tell one tale of univer sal business activity. No line reams to be in a more prosperous state than the shoe industry. From Brockton comes especially encouraging reports. W. L. Douglas is going to increase the capacity of his factory to 3,000 pairs of shoes per day. The addition wilt be male in the form of a wing running out from the front of the factory, 100 feet deep,forty feet wide ami four stories high. This will add 10,0)0 square feet of space for manufacturing purposes. About $4,000 more per week will be paid out to shoemakers, which will go to increase the prosperity of the com munity at. large. When the factory starts up the first of July it will be on an output of 500 dozen pairs of shoes per day, and the weekly payroll,exclusive of office help, superintendent, foremen, etc., will be $22,000 per week to those actually en gagaged iu making shoes. The salesmen on the road are selling twenty-five per cent more goods than last season, and to take care of this increased business the addition is made necessary. The increased sale is the direct result of extensive advertising, the expenditure for which is now larg er than at any other period,aud is to be still further increased. THE NATIONAL CAME. Hanlon, of Brooklyn, thinks he has another “find” in liis new' pitcher, Me Caun. Wefers, the well known sprinter, has been signed by the St. Louis club as an extra outfielder. Lewis, the old Boston National League pitcher, signed a contract to play with the Boston American League club. Some critics believe that the pen nant race in the National League will be a one-sided affair between Brook lyn and Pittsburg. Ainos Rusie is working hard reduc ing superfluous liesli and has hopes of entering the box in his old-time form within ten days. Manager McGraiv, of the American League club, lias signed “Cy” Sey mour, former pitcher of the New York club. It is proposed to play him in the outfield. Bransfield, Pittsburg's new first baseman, is compared to Tenney by W. H. Watkiu, who says Lis playing is as effective as that of the Boston first baseman. "Walter Camp, head of athletics at Yale University, announced that the Yale field corporation at a meeting held recently had decided to build a now baseball grand stand. Will White, the old Cincinnati pitch er, was the most noted example of a player wearing glasses cn me field. Wallace, who played right field for Yale a few years ago, wore them. Nichols, Boston’s veteran tmirier, is unquestionably in good shape at pres ent, and if the rest of the Hub’s pitch ing staff can be relied on there are some hopes of landing another pen nant in Beantowu.

DAZED AT CORDIAL RECEPTION They Are Given a .Straight Talk By Secretary Root Who Is Acting For the President. A Washington special says: The Cnban delegation from the convention framing a constitution for the new is land republic saw President McKinley twice Thursday, once in the early part of the day, when there were introduc tions and a formal exchange of ex pression of friendship between the United States and Cuba, and again at night when the members of the dele gation were the guests of honor at a state dinner at the white home. The real business which brought the delegation to Washington was trans acted with Secretary Root at the war department, the president in the fore noon in an interview at the white house saying to the delegates that he would confer with the secretary who would act as his representative in con ferences of the Cuban situation. The delegation and Secretary Root were closeted for some hours in the after noon iu a discussion of the relations of the island to the United States. Secrecy was observed, the statement being made that after results were reached some news might be made public. Matters of importance were not touched in the interview between the president and the delegation, the con versation being almost wholly formal. Senor Capote, in his address to the president, spoke of the desire of the Cubans to have the closest possible relations with the United States. He said that United States soldiers aud Cubans had fought side by side and driven Spain from tle island, and the ties between the two countries were bound in blood. The relation ship, therefore, between the countries, always should be most amicable and closer than that which usually exists between nations,. He also spoke of the gratitude which Cuba felt to the United States for the assistance ren dered in her liberation. In response the president expressed his pleasure at meeting the delegation and desired through them to extend his kindest wishes to the people of the island. Those present at the conference in Secretary Root’s office were the five Cuban delegates, their interpreter, Secretary Root, General Wood, Assist ant Secretary of War Sanger, Senor Gonzelles, General Wood’s secretary, who acted as interpreter a great por tion of the time. When the meeting adjourned no official statement was made as to the proceedings. It was made plain to the Cubans by Secretary Root that no modification of the Piatt amendmeut could be made by the executive department of the government and the Cubans them selves understand that there is little possibility of congressional action in that direction, so the conference was devoted largely to the construction which could be placed upon the amendmeut. The delegation made no complaint of the present military government under General Wood. After the con ference adjourned the Cubans called on General Wood at the Richmond. The members of the constitutional commission were entertained at a state dinner given in their honor by the president at the white house in the evening. Covers were laid for forty seven. The guests included the pres ident and members of his cabinet (ex cept the secretary of the navy), the secretary to the president, Dr. Capote, president of the Cuban constitutional itonvention; Dr. Tamhyo, secretary of Hate and government; Justice Llor ente, associate justice supreme court of Cuba; Governor Betan court, civil governor province of Mantanzas; General Portuondo, fiscal of the audeneia of Santiago de Cuba; General Leonard Wood, Gov ernor Alien, Justice Harlan, Justice White, Senator Platt of Connecticut; Senators Morgan, Foraker, Hanna, Lodge. Depew, Cockrell, Daniel,Fair banks, Burrows, Wetmore, Millard, Dietrich, Representatives Grosvenor, Hepburn, H. A. Cooper, Barton, Moody Adams, the assistant secretary of war, Hon. Win. E. Chandler, Lieu tenant General Miles, General Corbin, Colonel S. B. M. Young, Colonel Bingham,Lieutenant Colonel Edwards, Admiral Bradford, Mr. Enteuza and Mr Gonzalez. The guests remained at the white house for several hours, it being after 11 o’clock before the last of them had departed. The Cubans were delight ed with the attention shown them and with the cordiality with which their views on the questions of moment to them were received. NEW MISSISSIPPI ROAD.

Bryan says, in effect, that h e has no intention of seeking a third nomination for the presidency. Mr Bryan’s announcement is an answer to an article in an eastern paper specula ting on his plans as a political leader. Mr. Bryan said: “I am not planing for another pres ldential nomination, if I were I won ] ( j not be editing a papar. If I ever be come a candidate again it will be be cause it seems necessary for the ad vanocment of the principles to which I adhere, and that does not seem prob able. 1 shall, however, take a part in politics for several years to come if I live, and can be relied upon to sup. port those who, as candidates, ad vance Democratic principles and who can be intrusted to enforce them if elected. ‘I have no enemies to punish.

Neither have I any disposition to reward political friends at the ex pense of our cause.

In the trial at Omaha Thursday of James Callahan on the charge of con nection with the kidnaping of Edward Cudahy, Jr., December 18, 1900, the victim took the stand and absolutely identified Callahan as the “dark man’’ in the case. After telling of his con finement minutely, young Cudahy was addressed by attorney Cowan as fol lows: “You may state whether the dark man who put. a pistol to your head aud made you a prisoner, and who guard ed you most of the time in the house, aud who walked down the stree.t with you, and bade you goodby, when you were released, was one and the same person.” “It was the Rarne man.” “Who was that mau?” “Jim Callahan.” “The defendant here in this case?" “Yes, sir.” From this point on Callahan was referred to by name and no longer Yiy the name “dark man.” Callahan betrayed no emo'ion when the boy said lie was one of Ihe abduct ors, but a cynical smile played faintly over his features. Witness testified that Callahan’s mustache was stubbier at the time of the kidnaping than it is now. HARROWING, IE TRUE. Porto Rican Familic* Sell Olrlg to Kecp the Wolf From the Door. When Dr. L. S. Rowe, of the Porto Rican code commission, reached New York several days ago he said in an interview that conditions on the island had been much improved despite the statements made by “a small element of the population in a spirit of pessim ism.” To this exception is taken by Wen cesloa Borda, Jr., a member of the commission chosen by the Planters’, Bankers’ and Merchants’ association of Porto Rico to present to the United States government the ideas of that organization regarding the state of affairs on the island. “Onr people are starving,” said Mr. Borda, in an interview, “and the island is now in a worse condition un der the rule of Governor Allen than it. ever was before, even when Spain held sway. So hopeless is the state of af fairs that fathers sell their daughters to keep them from dyin >; of huuger.
