The Hague, June 37.—The Frederick Holls, secretary of the American delegation to the peace conference, referring in conversation with a reporter to the proposals of the United States for the protection of private property at sea, with exception of contraband of war in time of war from capture or seizure, said: “We have strong grounds for making the propositions. The president understood the Russian invitation comprised the question of private property at sea and has instructed us to raise the question. We will push the matter energetically, insisting that the conference is competent aud that if its competence is doubtful a liberal interpretation was necessary. We believe that If the proposals are rejected they will be referred to another conference. Anyhow they will have been most useful, as the attitude of each power will be defined. The state department has sent us a very strong pamphlet containing resolutions passed by many cities of the United States which has been handed to each delegate.

GENERAL R. A. ALGER WILL NOT RESIGN BECAUSE OF HIS SENATORIAL CANDIDACY. Returns to Washington From His Outing and Talks Freely to Friends on His Alliance With Governor Pingree—Benefitted by His Trip. Washington, June 26. —Secretary Alger returned to the city last night after an absence of three weeks, during which ho visited New England and afterwards spent some time at his home in Michigan. He says he has enjoyed his outing very much aud appears benefitted by the change. To callers at his house during the evening the secretary talked freely regarding his announced candidacy for senatorial honors and of the printed statements of the probability of his leaving the cabinet because of his alliance with Governor Pingree, who, it has been stated, is opposed to the administration of President McKinley. He made it plain to his questioners that he did not propose to resign on this account as he does not consider his candidacy for the senate any reason why he should not contine to hold his position as a member of the cabinet. Governor Pingree, the secretary added, is for President McKinley, first, last and all the time. During his absence from the city the secretary has been kept fully Informed of all dispatches which have been received from General Otis regarding the situation in the Philippines. He was not prepared to say anything last night for publication respecting what, if any, increase is to be made to the troops under Otis’ command; that matter will be talked over with the president as soon as he returns to Washington from his New England visit. The secretary, in conclusion, said he had no knowledge of a dispatch alleged to have been received from General Otis, in which that officer intimated his inability to conquer the Filipinos with the force under his command, and that he would be obliged to abandon the ground already taken unless reinforcements were quickly sent. All dispatches from General Otis were forwarded to him, he said, and he had seen nothing of the kind mentioned. SPANISH ENVOY Objected to Chihuahua (Mex.) Band Attending Rough Riders' Reunion. Las Vegas, N. M., June 27. —One of the most interesting and unique features of the reunion was a reception tendered to Governor Roosevelt at the Hotel Castaneda, by the Mexican people of the territory just before his departure. The most influential and leading people waited upon the noted New Yorker. Felix Martinez of this city made the address of welcome during the course of which he made a rather sensational statement to the effect that he had been informed that the Spanish minister at the City of Mexico privately, but seriously objected to the visit of the Chihuahua band to Las Vegas. The objection was based on the assumption that the act of permitting the band to visit this country and assist in celebrating a victory over Spain could not at least be considered a friendly attitude toward the vanquished nation. The Spanish minister waited upon President Diaz in an Informal way and stated his objections. President Diaz was not of the opinion, however, and allowed the baud to come to Las Vegas. Toledo’s Mayor Announces He Is Ready to Stand For Governor. Columbus, June 26. —In a letter to a Columbus friend. Mayor S. M. Jones of Toledo announces himself ready to stand as a candidate of an independent movement for governor. He says: “I have no inclination whatever to rush into a movement of the kind. On the other hand, I do not propose to shirk if it shall appear that the time has arrived to make a campaign of educat ion over a great state that would be of more value than 10 years of mere preaching and teaching. have nothing to concede, and I am more than ever convinced that the day of political parties is passing. Parties and party machines will find themselves out of a job, so to speak. They are expensive and frightful burdens on the body politic. They are a positive menace to liberty and stand directly athwart the path of progress. The letter is published by permission of Mayor Jones. ROUGHJUDERS Hold Memorial Services at Their R* union at U. Vegas. Las Vegas, N. M., June 26. —Memorial services was the first thing on the rough riders' reunion programme yesterday. They were held at the Duncan operahouse and Rev. Thomas A.
