Washington: One battleship to cost
$7,425,000 without armor or armament
and not to exceed $15,000,000 when
completed; eight submarines, costing
$4,480,000, and a fleet of torpedo boats,
colliers and machine ships constitute
the building program for the navy, ap-
proved by the Senate and which prob-
ably will be adopted without change
by the House.
It was agreed the new battleship
should not be a superdreadnought, but
a vessel of standard size. The ques-
tion of armament was left to the naval
instructors and the Secretary of the
Navy.
The bill as agreed upon also pro-
vides for a round-the-world wireless

New York: Banks and trust com-

be asked by the Democratic National
committee to receive and transmit to

Democratic, but of the Republican and

The plan is In pursuance of the com-

by giving out a statement embodying
a letter which he announced he had
sent to every bank and trust company
In the United State request long them

to each of the three National parties.
He accompanied his letter to the banks
with a letter from Gov. Wood row Wil-

Pekin, China: Gen. Chang Chen
Fu, a prominent leader in the early
revolution and a leading member of
the Tung Meng Hui, who instigated
two revolts against the Republic,
came to Pekin last week and began
entertaining lavishly and holding
meetings with leading Generals. Vice
President Li Yuen Hung telegraphed
from Wuchang a warning to President
Yuan Shih Kai, who sent soldiers to
arrest Chang. The revolts in which
he was implicated took place at Wu-
change, July 22 and Aug. 7. Li Yuen
Hung, though succeeding in crushing
the uprisings, did not feel strong
enough to punish such a prominent
member of the Tung Men Hui as
Chang.
Gen. Chang’s accomplices were ar-
rested in a Chines© hotel here with
Incriminating papers, showing that he
intended to instigate an uprising in
Pekin against Yuan Shih Kai. aiming
to make himself President. The offi-
cers also found a large quantity of
arms, ammunition and bombs.
Meanwhile Chang was warned and
attempted flight. He was arrested,
filed by court martial and sentenced
to death. He was shot at 1 o'clock
Friday morning,
also was shot.
The incident shows that the Gov-
ernment’s hand is stronger. Instead
of buying off |he trouble makers, as
formerly, the Republican officials pun-
ish them summarily.

Pekin: The Chinese National As-
sembly, after a stormy meeting, re-
solved, 52 to 11, to present a petition
to President Yuan Shi Kai demanding
a further explanation of the evidence
on which Gen. Chen Chang Wu and
Gen. Aen Wei, who were members of
Dr. Sun Yat Sen’s party, were exe-
cuted.
The petition sets forth five of the
charges which the Government had
stated in a manifesto had been prov-
en and then adds rebutting comment.
It requests President Yuan Shi Kai
to answer within three days and says
if his reply should be unsatisfacory,
the National Assembly will summon
him to explain in person.
If this, his personal explanation,
should be unsatisfactory, the House
will impeach President Yuan Shi Kai
or the whole Chiinese Government.
San Francisco, Cal.: Rumors that
Dr. Sun Yat Sen, first provisional
president of China, had been assasin-
ated in Pekin by the soldiers of Pres-
ident Yuan Shi Kai, caused great ex-
citement in Chinatown. The rumors
oould be traced to no authentic source,
but varying accounts of the alleged
assassination were posted on bulletin
board 'throughout the Chinese quar-
ter.
At the offices of the Consul Gen-
eral and the two Chinese daily news-
papers, no news of an attack upon
Dr. Sun had been received and the re-
port of his death dispatched to Pekin,
however, inquiring as to the safety of
! the former revolutionary leader.
According to the rumor placards in
Chinatown. Dr* Sun left Changbai for
Pekin yesterday to undertake to save
the republic from a threatened renewal
of hostilities as the result of the ex-

eral and commander in chief of the
Salvation Army, died Tuesday night.
He was born at Nottingham in 1829.
The veteran Salvation Army leadet

previous to death. The medical bul
letins had not revealed the seriousness
of the General's condition, which fot
a week past, it is now admitted, was
hopeless.
Twelve weeks ago Gen. Booth under
went and operation for the removal of
a cataract in his left eye. For two
days after the operation indications
justified jhe hope of the General's re-
covery. Then septic poisoning set in
and from that time, with the exception
ot occasional rallies, the patient's
health steadily declined. The General
recognized that the end was near and
often spoke of his work as being fin-
ished.
The aged evangelist died at his res-
idence, the Rookstone. Hadleywood,

he had been ^confined to his bed ever

NOT GUILTY AFTER American
THREE MONTHS’ TRIAL.
Managua, Nicaragua: Nearly the
entire detachment of 500 Nicaraguan
troops, comprising the garrison of the
city of Leon, to the. north ot Manag-
ua, was massacred by a force of in-
surgents Saturday night, according to
reports.
The Government troops on reaching
Leon camped on the plaza in the cen-
ter of the town. The Insurgents, who
greatly outnumbere<T~the Government
force, attacked the city Saturday and
after a fierce engagement the garri-
son surrendered. Instead of holding
their captives prisoners of war, it is
reported that the soldiers were slaugh-
tered by the rebels. Out of a force
of 500 men all except 70 were killed.
