Straggle Now Going on 1m tho Island
Will Uo Stopped—Tho Commercial In.
tercet* Demand Interference—Prompt
Action Is Likely.
New York, Hay 20.—A special to
The World from Washington says:
There are many reasons for believing
that the next step in President McKin
ley’s Gnban policy will be taken within
60 days, and that.it wUJ~.be interference
of a decided character. The president
is contemplating action on account of
the pressure of the interests trading
ith Cnba and the American property
owners there. The commercial inter
ests,, which have been so potent in re
straining the government from inter
vention in the past, are now demanding
prompt interference, and there is every
indication that they are as powerful for
action at this time as they were to pre
vent it a year ago.
The president has had compiled all
the propositions that have ever been
made whereby the United States might
seek to end the constant strifes that
have broken ont between Cuba and the
other country. He lias considered the
enforced qale of the island to the On-
bans upon the guarantee of the United
States, this country assuming charge of
the customhouses as security, to be the
best plan of all. except in the guarantee
feature, which did not seem likely to
be favored by the people or by congress,
the reason being that in almost every
instance where a country has guaran
teed the bonds of another it has had to
take the country and pay the debt.
Certain business men have suggested
to the pres : dent a modification-of thi*
plan, which does away with the guar
anteeing of the bonds aud simply pro
vides that the United States shall act
as an assignee and take charge of all
the revenues of the island. Its only
promise would be to honestly collect
and account for the money obtained
and tarn it over to the seller.
If the revenues, after paying the ex
penses of the United States, did not
meet the principal aud interest as they
fell due, it would be no affair ot the
United States, but the fanlt of the two
contracting parties, who should have so
arranged the purchase price as to make
such a failure impossible. The presi
dent is said to be greatly pleased with
the plan thus suggested.

Darlington, lows,' Reports One of tbe
Most Profitable Speculations Known.
Burlington, la.. May 20. — George
W. Stone, a commission merchant of
this city; has 'in all probability made
one of the most profitable speculations
on record. Whether it was Mr. Stone’s
business acuteness, whether it was his
natural desire to take chances, or
whether he had well defined ideas about
the future of the deal no one knows.
During the sale at auction of all the
assets of the Burlington Insurance com
pany, defunct, and of which W. E.
Blake was tbe assignee, at the door of
the courthouse a few mouths ago, the
end was anuounoed with the offer for

Memphis. May 20. — The -mutilated
dead body which was found Monday

identified. .The murdered man is Ernest
Stanley, the 19-year-old son of a wealthy
merchant of Tnscnmbia, Ala.
Frank Parora. au Italian truck farmer,

as the perpetrator of the murder.
-From indications Stanley, a handsome
youth enjoying the first flush of yonng
manhood, was cruelly murdered while
he lay asleep iu the Italian’s house, aud
his body was thrown into the cistern
by the murderer.
Parora admits striking Stanley, but
says he did so because Stanley, with a
pistol in his hand, was trying to rob
him. He says Stanley dropped his pis

Two Mad Geyser* la Xoro Day.
San Luis Oblspo. OaL, May 20.—
About i^Op. m. residents of* the ooun<
try adjacent to Moro Bay were startled
by a report which begun like the low
rutnbe of thunder.
A few days ago a sin’lar report was
heard aud a mud geyser -tppeared in the
small arm of Moro bay. opposite the
town site of El Mora This geyser has
formed a small island, which _ for
week past has been the wonder of. the
people of the country aud has been vis
ited by a great many.
^Following this last report a second
geyser sprang into existence- about 200
yards distant from the first and a little
further inland. This last geyser is an
exact counterpart of the one formed
last Friday night. It is only a short
distance from the shore aud people who
gathered there could plainly see tbe
small island of dark mad ahl saud
which had been formed.
Like the eruption of last Friday
night, the surface of the second island
bears evidence of having a small sized
crater, from which large quantities of
the black mud are arising.,

Washington, May 20.—A copy of the
message of the president of the republic
of Oosta Rica to the national congress
of that country, which opened 'its regu

by Senor Calvo, the minister of Costa
Rica in Washington. It speaks of tha
encouragements which' have character
ized the year and of the largely satis
factory solution arrived at in questions
engaging the government’s astyention.
The president says that pnblio order
has not suffered the slightest change
and that siuce Costa Rica has entered
upon the fullness of her sovereignty at
no time has the status of her inter
national relations appeared in every
sense more satisfactory thau at tlie
present
The message speaks of. tlie establish
ment oTthe Greater:• Republic of Cen
tral America, composed of the state* of
Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua, and
says it constitutes an set of sufficient
significance in the political march of
Central America. This new political
entity, inspired In sentiments- highly
patriotic, is directed toward the recon
struction of the former Central Ameri
can fatherland. Mention is made of
the cordial relations maintained by.
Costa Rioa with the new pblitfcal en
tity from which the former government
has received equivocal proofs of sym
pathy. The uuiou is regarded by the
president as a guarantee of peace to
Central America. Oosta Rica has not
yet joined the compact, the government
regarding it unnecessary, for the pres
ent at least, for reasons which are set
forth.
Cantral American Exposltioa.
Reference is made to the Central
American exposition, promoted by Gua
temala, to which Oosta Rica has con
tributed. Costa Rica has also received
the idea proposed by Guatemala to or
ganize in the republic a judicial con
gress to engage in the study of the va
ried legisla’ on of the sister republios
in order to obtain, as far as possible,
uniformity in their respective codes,
the adoption of a single mouetary sys
tem and a system of weights aud meas
ures and of a law for public instruc
tion.
The hope is expressed for - a satisfac
tory solution to both Nicaragua and
Oosta Rica of the boundary line differ
ences between the two oouutries.
A joint commission is about to make
a survey and to have the assistance of
civil engineer E. P. Alexander of South
Carolina, who was appointed by Presi
dent Cleveland at the request of the
governments interested. He will act
as arbitrator on disputed points.
The president felicitously refers to
the negotiations of the arbitration
treaty with Colombia for the settle
ment of the boundary line question
with that country. This treaty has
been ratified by the congresses of both
countries interested and ratificatior*
will soon be exchanged in Washington
by the legations of both republics.
Gold Standard Adoptod,
The national economy is one of the
•ubjeets to which the executive has de
voted very special attention, aud after
a study of the conditions of the coun
try he issued the decree reformatory of
the monetary system adopting iu prac
tice the gold standard, which is now
the money of Costa Rica.
The message also states that a bank
ing law will soon be promulgated whicn,
consulting the public interests, will en
deavor to overcome the objections at
tributed to a plurality of issues.
The arrangement for the settlement
of the foreign debt having been effected,
the government has on deposit funds
sufficient to meet, when due, the inter
est ou^the first conpon.
The state of Uie public, finances is sat

ment abilities, it is said, without estab
lishing new imposts, or resorting to
public credit, and figures are given
showing that there was au aggregate
of $1,270,000 approximately subject to
the order of tbe treasury on March 81
last.
The president recommends the amend
ment of the tariff laws aud of the pro
cedure under the fiscal law relating to
the crime of smuggling, and says the
attention of the government has been
directed to the construction of the P<
cilic railroad, which wiU soon complete

Columbia, S. O., May 20.—The Co

has turned against the system. It says:
“So long as the dispensary is kept in

“This is the great danger that is
threatening the people by the dispen- *

it, and Tbe Register, though a sup
porter of the system per se, would be
derelict in its duty to itself if at this

'It is a source of continual contention
