The Samoan commissioners left here today for San Francisco. Before leaving. Baron Sternburg had an extended conference with the German ambassador, going over all the points of the Samoan Issue a3 presented In the Instructions. The meetings here between the American. British and German commissioners, while quite social and informal, have been productive of a very amicable sentiment among all concerned. Since the commissioners are off a sense of relief pervades those diplomatic and official circles which have borne the brunt of the controversy up to this time. Their chief anxiety now is to see the commission away from San Francisco before there can be any new turn in event by reports of more fighting on the islands.

Ind., April 19. Frof. Green used the Marconi system with greater success to-day than in any previous trials. This afternoon he telegraphed one and onehalf miles without the use of wires. This Is the fifth day of the experiments and when the sounder fixed at St. Mary's Academy responded to the pressure of the key at Notre Dame, Prof. Green had done as much as he expected and more than he has promised. a preparation for the crucial test of this afternoon. Prof. Green conducted an experiment over three-quarters of a mile this morning. He placed his station at Science Hall and the Novitiate and oer the intervening distance the signals were transmitted without an error. This afternoon he moved the receiving station to St. Mary.'s Academy, and placed the sending, instruments at the fcot of the university nag staff. To the top of this staff, which is 123 teet high, he swung a rack containing the metal sphere and connected it with his sending apparatus. One mile and a half away, on the cock tower of St. Mary's Academy, was a duplicate metal sphere connected with a cohertr and sounder. At 2:2 an expert telegrapher pressed the key at the sending station and with the velocity of light wave the Impulses reached the distant coherer. Here the little hammsr clattered out its signals as clearly as if the sender were but a yard and a half Instead of a mile and a half away. The waves traversed a country broken by trees and buildings, many of which were higher than the vocal wire at the receiving station. NEW $65,000,000 TRUST.

LONDON, April 1. John Barrett, former United States minister to Slam, who has Just

arrived from Manila, emphatically declares that the gloomy forebodings expressed In some quarters, relative to the Philippines, are not Justified by the fact?. "The United States naval and military authorities." he says, "have done everything po?lble under difficult and exceptional circumstances, and the united support of all parties in the United States in the present juncture will enable them to bring matters in the Philippines to a quick and lasting settlement honorable to the motherland. Should the Filipinos, however, who are kept well informed, acquire the Jde-a that a prolongation of hostilities would affect politics in the United States advantageously to them, the war would be prolonged." With regard to the statement that the Minnesota Volunteers ani others wished to return to the United States, Mr. Barrett said he talked with the officers of all the regiments and with many of the men, and that while they would welcome a return to the United States as soon as their places could be effectually filled by regulars, there was no insubordination, despondency or discontent. On the contrary, ail were actuated, he said, by intense patriotism, and not a man wished to leave the Philippines until he had seen the campaign through, or could leave the work to regular troops. In the opinion of Mr. Barrett, the Filipinos, when they have had time to digest the recent success of General Otis and General Lawton and to become convinced of their mistake, they will settle down to progressive citizenship. : WILL BE OVER TO-DAY.

Freddie Oland, Charged with ! order, Will Know HIm Fnte To-Mght. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ir.d., April 19. When court convened this morning Fred Oland came in much refreshed after a night's rest and took the witne? stand to undergo a croeisexamlnatlon. Attorney Bingham, for the State, took the youthful prisoner in hand, but the boy stood the ordeal well and was quick to see and avoid any answer "that would tend to incriminate him. He was excused after having been on the stand for nearly four hours. The only other important witness of the day was John Petty, the paint shop man on whom the defense had attempted to cast suspicion. He gave a detailed account of the manner in which he had spent the day on which the Bodemlller child disappeared and his evidence went to show that he was not in Whitely at the time of the killing. His testimony also showed that he played a game of pool In Oland's saloon with the young boy on trial between 7 and 8 o'clock of the evening, thus knocking out the alibi of the defense for Freddie Oland. who claimed this game was played immediately on his return from Muncie. at about 5:30 o'clock. All of the rebuttal testimony of the State was taken in about an hour this afternoon and the defense Introduced Just one witness in sur-rebuttal. Mr. Gregory, for the defense, offered to submit the case without argument, but the State objected and afr some controversy Judge LefTler agreed to allow each side three and a half hours. The general impression is that a verdict will be reached by to-morrow night. TOO MINERS OX STRIKE. Xew Summit DlKnrera Have a. Grievance Aftainnt Operator. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

DREYFUS DEPOSITIONS

TESTIMONY OF 3IME. PAYS BEFORE THE COURT OF CASSATION. Denied Almost Everything That Tended to Criminate Eiiterhniy Capt. Lebrun-Renaud' Evidence. PARIS, April 19. The Figaro, continuing to-day its publication of testimony offered before the Court of Cassation in the Dreyfus revision inquiry, prints the depositions of Mme. Tays, Captain Lebrun-Renaud and a host of minor personages. Mme. Pays gave a series of denials to almost all the statements made concerning her which tended to criminate Esterhazy. She denied writing the "Speeranza" telegram and said she had never seen General Bolsdeffre, General Pellleux or General Mercler. She declared herself Ignorant of the authors of the bordereau, and therefore could not, as had been alleged, have revealed their names. With reference to the statement of her concierge that Esterhazy once declared Dreyfus innocent, she exclaimed that what Esterhazy said was that, as the result of the base intrigues of the defenders of Dreyfus, the latter would issue triumphant, while he (Esterhazy) would be morally condemned. "There," said Esterhazy, according to Mme. Pays, "is the Judicial error." She concluded her testimony by telling how Esterhazy was warned that he would be denounced. Capt. Lebrun-Renaud. who had charge of Dreyfus at the time of his degradation, described an interview with him. Dreyfus, he said, at first protested innocence, insisting that he had a splendid future before him. adding, "I am innocent, in years my innocence will be recognized. The minister knows it. Col. Du Paty de Oam came to sec me a few days ago end told me the minister and others were aware that, if I delivered documents to Germany, they were not important, and had the object of obtaining Important ones in return. Capt. lbrun-Renaud then related how he had repeated the words of Dreyfus to numerous officers. The next day he repeated them to General Mercier and to M. Dupuy, who took him to President Casimir-Perler. The latter questioned him (the witness), regarding his indiscretions to journalists. itness denied on that occasion speaking to reporters, but he admitted that perhaps he had spoken in their hearing. General Mercier and M. Dupuy then In the presence of witnesses prepared a note for the Havas agency, adding that he had no communication with reporters. Since that time, as the result of this blame and as a warning from his superior officer. Colonel Risbourg, he had not spoken of the matter except to some superiors. He did not make an affidavit, but gave an ordinary report of the conversation, which he regarded as a confession of the delivery of documents. He did not repeat the words of Drevfua before MM. Casimir-Perier or Dupuy, as they did not ask him anything about Drevfus. but he showed his notes of the conversation with Dreyfus to M. 01 V 1 3 n H. C" Colonel Risbourg was called and confirmed Captain Lebrun-Renaud's account of his (Risbourg's) reprimanding him. and admitted that he had not made an affidavit of the Incidents because they were known to the ministers and to M. Casimir-Perier. Some other officers testified that Captain Atteles. who. according to Captain IbrunRenaud. was present during the conversation with Drevfus. had described the Interview to them immediately afterwards, clearly showing that Dreyfus had made the avowals. M General Barras. who commanded the parade at the execution of the sentence, testlthat whon th tudrment was read. Dreyfus exclaimed: "I am still worthy to belong to the army. Vive i Armee: ive ia France!" Barras said he had heard no other words from him during the ceremony of degradation. Colonel Peyrolle, controller of army administration, testified that Captain LebrunRenaud told him that he had not repeated the words of Dreyfus to M. Dupuy and M. Casimir-Perier because, while in the antechamber, he overheard the following discourse within: "Who is this gendarme who betrays professional secrets and gives gossip to the press?" , , The Cabinet council to-day considered the Dreyfus affair, and it is officially denied this evening that the government is spurring the Court af Cassation to give a hasty decision According to the Solr a private sitting of the court has decided uron the confrontations, which will occur probably next Monday.

"Wmil n Ciermany In America. BERLIN, April 19. The recent demonstration on the part of the German societies of Chicago, in condemnation of any attempt to cause trouble between the United States and Germany, has been hailed with much satisfaction here. The semi-official Post, greeting "such evidence of German sentiment joyfully," expressed the belief that it proves the German emigrants who are finding homes in the new world are "not lost to the fatherland, but retain in their hearts a fidelity which is of more real worth than assurance of national sentiment, which might fail in time of need." The Post expresses the hope that the movement will spread to the Eastern States, leading to a courageous union of all German-Americans. Dr. Con net 1 Him Not Yet Accepted. LONDON, April 19.

DEWEY'S PORTRAIT. The One the Public Know Look bat Little Like Him. Washington Letter. Someone remarked tho other day It wa strange that of all the pictures of Admiral Dewey with which this country is o liberally supplied, every one is alike. It is tho game three-quarter face, with the dark upturned mustache and thin hair. All the pictures show him in uniform and witli standing collar. Tho fact that tLerc Is only one picture of Dewey, while there aro numerous and different likenesses of tchley. Sampson, Shatter, Hobson. Miles, Otis and evtn Kautz. does seem strange. It happened this way: Admiral Dewey always was a modest man and he never cared t hav-d hts picture taktn. Some years ago, however, when ho was in Washington a friend Induced him to go to RclTs gallery and s't for a picture. He was here on duty and wore his uniform as captain. This was many years ago. and the pnotographer put' the negative away among those he thought he would have little call for. On that Sunday night. May 1, nearly a year ago. when the news came of Dewey's great victory, the newspapers all over the country began telegraphing here for pictures of the hero. Every photocrapher in town was aroused to find a photograph of Dewey, and JUFt by chance Miss Owvn at Dell's, remembered the old negate. . It v a found and men were put to work printing pictures from it. It was too late ;o copyright the picture, but the photographer made a great deal of money in a few days celling the copies on ha.id. In les thnn a week that picture went all over tho country and became the accepted likeness of the great admiral Iri fact, it is doubtful if many people would recognize any other. The Mall and Express correspondent had an experience in this line only the other day. There Is a game called ,pftrtaits,, which is quite the fad in Washington now. It consists in collecting a large number of pictures of prominent men and women and pasting them on boards, numbering them and then hanging the boards aliout tn room, give a certwtn length of time to tho guests to guess who they are. In this particular collection of portraits a one of Admiral Dewey taken a few months ago at Manila. The picture showed the admiral in his white uniform, with hla mustath gray and lib hair thin and white. It was very unlike the Hell photograph, so unlike, indeed, that out of the patty guessing the pictures, only one recognized it as that o Admiral Dewey. They now say that Admiral Dewey thinks of coming back here jooner thn at rirtt anticipated. It would be a good business speculation for a photographer to get a recent picture of the admiral and distribute it. through the country, or perhaps when Dewey does come heme the people may not recognize him, knowing him only by his old photographs.
