Foreign Consuls Protest Against De-
stroying Value of Paper Money.
SANTO DOMINGO, Sept. 20.—At a
meeting of all the foreign consuls held
in this city a joint protest was drawn up
against the action of the government in
destroying the value of the paper cur-
reney. This action was rendered neces-
sary by the contradictory decrees issued
on successive days.
The signatories say that their govern-
ments will not permit their subjects to be
the losers on account of Dominican do-
mestic troubles' The protest was form-
ally delivered yesterday after the arrival
of the United States cruiser New Or<
loans.
Sunday evening there was a popular
demonstration against the “interference
of foreigners.” Yesterday the streets of
the city—were carefully patrolled, and
there have been no disturbances.
' The last decree on the subject of the
currency announced an intention to make
Mexican silver instead of American the
o‘flicial coin, contrary to the wish of Gen-
eral Jimenez. There is a strong move«
ment in favor of overthrowing the con‘
stitution and making immediate arrange-
ments for the presidential election.
State Commerce Commission.
NEW YORK, Sept. 20.——At the meet.
ing of the state commerce commission
yesterday General Manager Charles E.
Wheeler of the Cleveland Steel Canal
Boat company said he was not in favor
of broadening the Erie canal. He thought ‘
it‘ it was enlarged to accommodate ves-
sels of larger tonnage the present boats
would be driven out of the business, and
it would be difficult to find capital to re-
place them. The great need, he said, was
to get the canal boats as far west as
Cleveland-

San Rome the center of attraction, thus
boycotting the French Riviera.”

Navy Department Awaits Details of
the Bombardment In Subig Bay.
VASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—Admiral
lVatson has not yet reported to the navy
department upon the reported bombard-
ment of the fort in Subig bay by the
Charleston, so the officials are not in-
formed as to the purpose of the demon-
stration. General Otis recently was in-
formed by cable that he could have the
fullest co-operation of the navy in any
movement, and it is thought at the navy
department that in execution of this
promise Admiral Watson is initiating the
new campaign.
Subig bay is the site of a projected .
naval station. The Spaniards discovered ’
that it afforded advantages for such‘a
purpose over Manila bay and especially
over Cavite. They spent nearly $1,000,-
000 upon the place before the war, and it
was one of the plans of Admiral Monti-
jo, the Spanish naval commander, to,
make his stand against Dewey at Subig '
instead of Cavite.
Cowboys and lndians Fight.
MAZATLAN, Mexico, Sept. 19.—'
Twenty-five Mexican cowboys were at-
r
tacked in Sonora by the Sonora mounted =
Yaquis, who opened fire on them and
swooped down and drove horses and cat-
tle guarded by the Mexicans away. See.
ing themselves outnumbered, the Mexi-
cans put spurs to their horses and ran
away, but one vaquero, a young man of
indomitable courage, , remained and
fought the whole body of the Yaquis,
killing many of them. He was finally
shot, and it is said his corpse was shock-
ingly mutilated. An American company
has bought for $900,000 two gold mines
in the territory of Tepic.
Georgia Military Disbands.
ATLANTA, Sept. 19.~—At a meeting
of the military advisory board recently
appointed by Governor Candler to con-
sider the recommendations made in the
report of the adjutant general the board
advised the disbandment of 29 military
companies belonging to the national
guard of the state. The cause of the dis-
missal of the commands was a failure to
stand the examination of the inspector
general. Some of the companies were
placed on a 60 day probation, when they
must undergo another examination. Sev-
enteen of the companies were negro 0r-
gauizations, and 12 were composed of
white men.

Founder of the Famous Pillsbury
Mills Yields to Heart Trouble.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 18.—C. A.
Pillsbury of this city, the well known
‘ The Republicans of the First Maine
miller. died about 6:30 o’clock last even' 5
ing of heart disease.
On account of poor health Mr. Pills-
bury went to Europe Dec. 1, 18953, and
returned the middle of June. While
abroad he consulted with eminent physi-
cians in London, Paris, Vienna and Ber-
ha and returned to New York apparent-
ly much improved. The physicians agreed
that he was suffering from heart trouble,
caused by an enlargement of the stomach,
which in turn was due to overwork and
insufficient physical exercise. After reach-
ing home he gradually grew stronger and
seemed to be in a fair way to totally re-
cover his health. -
A week ago he took a trip to southern.
Minnesota, but on his return he suffered
from nausea. It was not until Saturday
morning that dangerous symptoms de-
veloped.
Charles Alfred Pillsbury was born at
Warner, Merrimac county, New Hamp-
shire, Oct. 3, 1842. He graduated from
Dartmouth college at the age of 21, hav-
ing' partly supported himself by teaching.
For six years later he engaged in mer-
cantile pursuits in Montreal, and Sept.
12, 1866, he married Miss Mary A. Stin-
son of Golfstown, N. H. After coming to
Minneapolis in 1869 Mr. Pillsbury bought
an interest in a small flour mill at St. An~
thony Falls. He applied himself to learn-
ing the milling business and within the
next few years made great improvements
in milling. By 1890, when purchased by
an English syndicate, the Pillsbury inter-
ests had grown to enormous proportions.
A system of elevators was purchased in
connection with the mills. His Pillsbury
“A” mill, capacity 7,000 barrels per day,
is said to be the largest mill in the world.
In 1890 Mr. Pillsbury retired from'the
conduct of his vast milling interests. He
remained as the manager of the property
for some time. But his health failing, he
retired from active management about 18
months ago. '
Mr. Pillsbury held public office but
once, that of state senator for the ten
years’ beginning Jan. 1, 1877. He is sur-
vived by his wife and two sons.

PORTLAND, Me., Sept. '18. —The
Press prints the following communication
from Congressman Thomas B. Reed, ad-
dressed to the Republicans of the First
Maine district: '
“\Vhile I am naturally reluctant to
obtrude myself again upon public at-
tention even here at home, I am sure
no one would expect me to leave the
First Maine district after so long a serv-

my appreciation of your friendship and
my gratitude for your generous treat-
ment. \Vords alone are quite inadequate,
and I must appeal to your memories."
During three and twenty years of politi—
cal life, not always peaceful, you have
never questioned a single public act of

their districts. My district has looked.
after me. This, in the place where I
was born, where you know my shortcom—

is worth nobody’s consideration. Office
as opportunity is worth all consideration.
“That opportunity you have given me

measure, and I return you sincerest
thanks. If I have deserved any praise,
it belongs of right to you.

M-EX’ICO- CELEBRATES.
Independence Day Relnembered—The
Queer Sentiments of‘the Press.
CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 18.—-The
wife of President Diaz is somewhat im-
proved in health, but was unable to take
part in the national independence cele-
brations, which went elf with unusual
eclat. The magnificent illumination of
the cathedral of Mexico by electricity
was the cause of general admiration, and
the great building could be seen for 30
miles away like a vast mound of blazing
light in the center of the valley of Mex-
ico.
The new clerical organ La Luz of Chi-
huahua raises the usual cry of the Con-
servative party, predicting the absorp-
tion of the country by the United States
and the danger to Mexico of so many
Mexicans who have become American-
ized in all their ideas and who are the
worst foes the father-land has.

The Plans Provide For (ii-eat Speed
and Large Cant Capacity. -
W'ASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—The naval
engineers have projected plans for the
new battleships which if adopted will
provide an entirely novel type for the
navy. ' The purpose is to- have these ships
combine in themselves the good qualities
of battleships and. armored cruisers. The
aim will be to have the highest possible
speed. for such ships,.in this case 20 knots
per hour. - .
This will. be attained by the hse of tri-
ple screws, two small.. side screws for use
in ordinary cruising and a big central
screw to add to the propulsive force in
case high speed is needed. The ships
would be- of 141,000-01- 15,000 tons dis-
placement and, with; seven inches of the
latest armor, would be almost as strong
in. defense as a regular battleship. . The
coal capacity would be about 2,000 tons,
sufficient at ordinary. cruising speed to
carry the ship 10,000 or 15,000 miles.
