FAVOR THE FILIPINOS TONIS OF THE FRENCH PI.ESS IN. SPIRED BY FOREIGN OFFICE. Combination Likely Between trance and Germany to Demand Damages of the United States For Alleged Losses In the Philippines. Paris, May 9.—Public attention here, or such portion as can be spared from the consideration of the everlasting Dreyfus case, is being turned toward the conflict now in progress in the Philip, pine islands, and it is impossible to deny that public sympathy here is with the Filipinos. The attitude of that portion of the press which is known to receive its inspiration directly from the foreign office, and from the government, leads to the belief that the latter is favorably disposed toward the insurgents. The United States has every reason to feel aggrieved at this attitude on the part of the official press, since there is no doubt that it encourages the insurgents through their junta here in their resistance against the Americans. It is difficult to assign any cause for this sympathy, excepting perhaps jealousy of the United States, but there is no doubt that the feeling will ere leug take a practical form, in the shape of a combination between France and Germany for the purpose of demanding from the United States heavy damages for the alleged loss of French and German property in the Philippines, and injury to French and German commercial interests there, through the insurrection. According to precedent and to the terms of international law, the United Stater became theoretically responsible for these damages from the moment that she assumed the sovereignty of the Philippine islands, and attention is drawn to the fact that after the Arab insurrection, in Egypt, of 1882, when a quantity of French and German property was destroyed, partly by insurgents and partly in suppressing the insurrection, the Egyptian government was compelled, on the restoration of tranquility, to pay damages to the extent of over $39,00:1,000 to these foreign nations.

Bertha Beilstein Charged With Killing Her Mother. Pittsburg. May 9.—The jury to try Bertha Beilstein for the murder of her mother at their home in Allegheny, Oct. 2, last, was completed yesterday afternoon and the trial proceeded, the balance of the day being occupied in the statement of the case by the prosecuting attorney and the hearing of several witnesses. The terrible nature of the crime for which Miss Beilstein is arraigned, the killing of her mother, her own futile attempt at suicide, as a result of which she lingered for months between life and death with horrible wounds in her head and abdomen; the suicide of old “Uncle Davy” Reis, following so soon after the murder in October last, and finally, the last catastrophe in the terrible family tragedy—the suicide of her brother Edward on his murdered mother’s grave in Voegtlris cemetery, Troy Hill, just six weeks and a day after that ill-starred day in October —has made this one of the famous and sensational cases in the history of crime. The trial of the young woman, as a consequence, is being watched with morbid interest. MODERN JA/OODMEM Kansas City Meet Expected to Be Largest In History of Older. Kansas City. May 8. —The local camps of the Modern Woodmen have so far progressed with their work that it can positively be stated now that the national meeting which will be held in this city, beginning on Monday, June 6, and continuing until June 10, will be the biggest affair of its kind in the history of the order. A reception committee of 250 men has been appointed aud they will devote their whole time to entertaining the delegates and alternates, who will be here from all over the United States. Conservative estimates place the number of strangers who will be the guests of the city at 100,000. Quick Run From Manila. New York, Maj- B.—The United States cruiser Buffalo arrived yesterday from Manila after a very quick run of 44 days, which includes stops at Singapore, Port Said aud Gibraltar. The Buffalo brought about 500 officers and men of Admiral Dewey’s squadron. These men are mostly long term men whose time has long run out and are to be lauded at the navyj-ary today where thej- will be discharged. Governor Thomas Impatient. Denver, May B.—Governor Thomas has announced that within a few days, if President McKinley and Secretary of War Alger continue to ignore his communications on the subject of the Colorado regiment’s return from the Philippines, he will take steps with a view to securing the immediate recall of the troops. Will Reconstruct the Cabinet. Rome, Maj- B.—General Luigi Pelloux, premier and minister of the interior in the Italian cabinet, which resigned last week in consequence of interpellations in the chamber of deputies touching the government’s handling of the Chinese question, has been charged by King Humbert with the reconstruction of the ministry. Boat Capsized. San Francisco, May 8. —By the capsizing of a boat off Belvidere Point yesterday afternoon Frank J. Grimm and Herbert G. Edwards were drowned. Dr. Allen and 11. O.

PRESIDENT M'KINLEY LEAVES WASHINGTON FOR A SHORT VACATION. While His Health Is Good He Feels the Necessity For Rest From His Exacting Duties — Goes to Hot Springs, Va., With His Wife. Washington, Maj’ 9.—President and Mrs. McKinley left the city last night for a vacation of a week or 10 days at Hot Springs, Va. The trip was made in a handsomely equipped special train, which left at 9:45 o’clock over the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. The president and Mrs. McKinley occupied the private car Cleopatra, which was attached to the rear of the train, the remainder of the special being made up of the compartment car Patagonia and the combination smoking and baggage car Atlantic. The train was equipped with every convenience for the comfort of the travelers. The party included also Mr. George B. Cortelyou, the assistant secretary to the president; Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Rixej- and Mr. Barnes of the white house clerical force. The president’s health is good, but he feels the need of rest and recreation and hence all official business during his absence will be attended to as far as possible at the white house. While at the springs the party will stay at “The Homestead,” where Secretary and Mrs. Gage are now located for a week’s stay. Secretaries Alger and Wilson and Adjutant General Corbin and a few other friends were at the station and remained until the train departed.

MILES OBDURATE. Positively Refuses to Be Interviewed on the Embalmed Beef Report. Washington, May 9.—“ The president is commander-in-chief of the army and my superior. He has approved the findings of the Wade court of inquiry. Therefore, I have no comment to make. It would be an unsoldierly act were I to do so.” With these words General Miles replied to a reporter, who saw him for a moment yesterday with regard to the probable action he would take in view of the adverse report of the court. “Will you formulate a protest to the president?” was the next question. “I have nothing to say. No, sir,” replied the general. “Will you inspire a congressional investigation?” “No, sir; I will not talk upon the subject.” “Do you believe congress will rectify the matter?” “I do not know what congress will do, nor have I any means of knowing in advance what verdict the result of an investigation might develop. I have no comment, criticism or statement to make in this matter and you may take it as certain that any alleged interviews or intimations to the contrary said to come from me or near me are wholly and unqualifiedly false. “I was aud am now actuated solely by the consideration of health, lives and integrity of the army. My duty is done. ’ ’ SPHERES OF INFLUENCE Our Interest In China Unaffected by English-Russian Agreement. Washington, May 6.—Official assurances have been given our government that the agreement reached between Great Britain and Russia as to spheres of influence in China concerns only the two parties, aud that in no manner does it affect the interests of the United States. The agreement does not amount to a seizure of the lauds in China defined as being within either of the two spheres, aud even should any territory be acquired in them by either of the parties to this agreement, the United States, it has been stated, will not be the subject of any discrimination in commercial or trade matters. Such rights as are now possessed in treaty ports will continue to be enjoyed freely by the United States. In view of the fact that the recent agreement presented new and important features through the inclusion for the first time in the territory subject to it of cities that had long been treaty ports, this assurance is regarded here as of the greatest value. VIOLATED TIMBER LAWS Contractors Cutting Green Logs Will Have to Pay For Them. Washington, May 9.—lnspector Nessler of the interior department, who has been investigating violations of the timber laws in the Chippewa reservation in Minnesota, reports to the department that he has found 7,000,090 feet of green timber which has been cut by contractors under the pretense that it was dead and down timber. Secretary- Hitchcock has wired Inspector Nessler orders not to deliver this timber to the contractors until they pav the necessary additional $3 per 1,000 feet, the price fixed for the green timber by the government being $5 per 1,000 feet and only $2 for the dead. This extra payment will inure to the benefit of the Indians. Schooner With All on Board Lost. Wilmington, N. C., May- 9.—lt now seems certain that pieces of wreckage that have been thrown on Smith’s island at the mouth of Cape Fear river are from the schooner Edna and Emma, which cleared from this port April 14 with a cargo of lumber for Baltimore. It is probable that she capsized in a windstorm when a short distance out, with all on board. Action of Boston Peace Society. Boston, May 9.—At a large and harmonious meeting of the American Peace society in Tremont Temple the members strongly condemned the present policy of the government in the Philippines, which was described as wicked, unjust and unfitting any. Christian nation. President Robert Treat Paine presided.
