Memorial Day at Manila.

7 MANILA, May 31.—Memorial serv-

ices were held in the‘ Pace cemetery at 9
'o’clock yesterday morning. A requiem
amass, celebrated by Chaplain McKinuon
of the First California infantry, and an
appropriate sermon by Father McQuaid
preceded the decoration of the graves of
thousands of soldiers of all religions who
"are buried beneath the great shade trees
«in the former Catholic cemetery. Upon
ithe :graves were placed flags, white flow-
(ers‘and gree leaves. Several English-
ihd Spaniards were present. ,
§ majority of the headstones on the
soldiers’ graves bear the epitaph, “Killed
in action.” One stone was inscribed,
‘Comlades, lie helped us to make this
American soil.” The grave of the Span-
ish general Montero, who died defending
Zamboanga against the insurgents. re-
mained bare and forgotten in an obscure
corner of the cometery.

In the afternoon, on Battery knoll,
Chaplain Stoll of the ll'irst Montana in-
fantry delivered an invocation, and Chap-
lains Pierce of the Fourteenth infantry
:and Gressey of the Thirteenth Minnesota
delivered orations, Business was entire-
?ly suspended. and the flags,on shore and
.on the warships in- the harbor were at
half mast.

Aguinaldo is apparently unable to re-
organize the insurrection ill therCavlte
province under the direction of General
'l‘rias, who is said to have recently of_-
fered to surrender to the Americans if
he received the promise of a pardon. The
Filipinos under Trias are wnolly demor-
alized and are suffering greatly from
scarcity of food.

There have practically been no hos—
tilities for several days. General Law-
ton llas inspected the lines froln Caloo-
can to Pasay.

 

’ Admiral Dewey Better.

HONGKONG, May Sir—Since his ar—
rival here on May :23 on board his flag-
.ship,‘ the United States cruiser Olympia,
.Adnliral Dewey has improved in health.
but he still refuses all invitations of a so-
cial nature. The admiral has also re-
linquished all official duty on‘board the
=Olympia.

The, date of his departure for home is '
' cort, with nearly $200,000, left by spe-

»still uncertain, his intention being to re-

main here until he has thoroughly recu- .

perated. The air of the high ground here

-is much cooler than it will be found be- ]

Lween Hongkong and the Mediterranean‘
sea. ‘

The programme for the Olympia"s voy-
age to the United States has not been
definitely decided upon. It has‘ been de-
termined, however, to make a stop at the

Piraeus, from which port Admiral Dew- ,

er will go to Athens to pay his respects
to King George of Greece.

.The Olympia is being painted white in-
-stead"of the dark slate color which was
applied at the breaking out of the late
lwar. _

THE NATION’REMEMBERS. .

Genefiul Observance of Decoration

Day, In Which the President Joins.

lVASHlNGTON, May 31.—The. Me-
morial day services at the Arlington Na.
tional cemetery were made especially
notable by the presence of the president
of the’ Uni-ted States and most of the
members of his cabinet. The crowd was
larger than at any other observance in
recént years, owing doubtless to. the in-
terest taken ih Memorial day exercises
on account of the “newly made graves
of soldiers of the Spanish-American war.

President McKinley left the thite
House shortly before noon and reached
the cemetery at 12:30 o’clock and took a
seat in the amphitheater ill the vicinity of
the Lee residence in the center of the
great cemetery. Secretary Alger arrived
soon after, and they were joined by other
members of the cabinet.

The decking of the thousands of graves
with flowers was joined ill by veterans of
the civil war and of the Spanish war as
well, and President McKinley was an in—
terested spectator throughout.

ket in the war of the rebellion alongside
of the youth who only last summer
donned the soldier's blue to battle with a
foreign foe. After the parade they. with

ing was given 2,000 soldiers of the Span-
ish war, a continued ovation marking
their progress along the line of march.

PAYING THE CUBANS.

 

The Pay Rolls Found to Have Been
Badly Padded.

dall of the Eighth United States infan-
try. accompanied by Paynlaster Moses.
his clerks. a doctor and a military es-

cial' train for Santiago de las Vegas. bllt
owing to various delays the payment did
not begin until ill the afternoon.

That the rolls are padded badly be-

[ comes lllore and more evident each day,
i and Colonel Randall says that from what

he can learn every man, dead or alive,
who ever served in the ranks of the in~

' surgents appears on the lists.

It is generally believed by the officials
making the disbursel‘ilent that the rolls

[were padded ill the expectation that the
' company commanders would have a per-

sonal hand in making payment. One
man who was paid yesterday said he
was glad the Americans were distribut-
ing the funds themselves, as otherwise
he would not have received more than
$25._ The number paid yesterday was
45. ,

No fewer than 2,000 persons attended
the ceremonies at Camp Columbia ceme-
tery. Mrs. Rzltllbolle, with 50 American.
and Cuban women, decorated the graves,
while. the band of the Seventh United
States cavalry regiment played dirges.

Three Stirring Events With-

MAJOR MARCHAMD AT TOULON.

Enemies of the Republic Hli‘ii film t
Hero — Bullot-Bcaupre’s Summing
Up of Dreyfus Case—Attempt to
' Blacken Loubet’s Character.

PARIS, May 31.-—Three events took
place yesterday, each of which without
the other would have sufficed to electrify
France. All coming together interest
was difiused, and no convulsion thus far
is apprehended.

One was the landing of Major Mar-
ehand at Toulon. The second was the
speech of General Herve and the pro-
ceedings generally in the Paris court of
assizes, where the Deroulede-Habert
trial is going on. The third was the con-
clusion of Judge Ballot-Beaupre’s report
on the Dreyfus case, read by him before
the court of cassatiou.

MajorpM rchand is hailed as a hero by
all the one ies of the republic. He is
contrasted by them with the foreign min-
ister, M. Delcasse, whose good sense in
the Fashoda matter is stigmatized as
cowardice. To pay ovations to Mar-
chand is at once a way to let off An-
glophobe feeling and to belittle the re-
public. Ile was educated by the religious
orders and has been patronized by the
Catholic missions in Paris, which are
only seeolld in importance to the propa-
ganda in Rome. It may be that. being
a man of humble birth and uncultured,‘
he will lose his head and let himself be
hoisted into General Boulanger‘s sad-
dle. Yet there is one reason that he
will not. Marclland is a silent man. He
never asks advice; but, after mature
thought, he acts on the notion he has
been reflecting upon. He must think
himself most fortunate, though. to be
ranked so high in the army and the Le—
gion of Honor and to be the recipient of
the exploration prize of the academy,
15,000 francs, to say nothing of the
swords of honor, the gold medals and the
ovations.

M. Ballot-Beaupre‘s summing up

 

 

be-

} fore the court of cassatiou in favor of

I

was a foregone conclusion. but as judg-
ment is to be revised and not quashed
there will be a new trial before a court
martial, with every probability of a fair
trial, and it is hard to doubt that the re-
sult will be acquittal, there being no
proof against Dreyfus.

The main feature of the Deroulede
trial is the attempt being madeto use it
to blacken President Loubet as a “Pana-
mist.” Nothing could be more disin-
genuous. M. Loubet was never implicat-
ed in Panama affairs. He, with the cog-
nizance of President Carnot and with
his approval. tried to prevent the ex-
posure of 12-1 Republican deputies in
1802 as “Panamists.” He was minis-
ter of the interior and able to prevent it.

New York‘s Big Parade.
NEW’ YORK, May 3 .-——Yesterday's
parade in Manhattan was the greatest
ever seen here on a Memorial day. The
Seventy-first regiment received a great
ovation, and the 'l‘wellty-seeond and Six-
ty-ninth were also roundly cheered. The
Seventh was hissed. There were also
big parades ill Brooklyn and the Bronx,
the former being reviewed by Governor
Roosevelt. In the afternoon nearly 5.000
persons gathered around the tomb of
General Grant on Riverside drive at the
memorial services held there under the
auspices of U. S. Grant post of Brooklyn
and listened to a patriotic speech by
Governor Roosevelt.
Dangerous Dollars.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 31.—Ca1ifor-
nia and the entire coast is being flooded
with dangerous counterfigit dollars which
haw the true ring and correct weight.
Only 51.1 expert would notice that the rig-
ures in dates 1888, 1804:, 1808 and 1509
are a trifle narrower than ill the genuine.
that the wreath around the eagle is bro-
ken and the nose of Liberty is not clear-
ly defined. The color is also a trifle off.
Secret service agents have vainly tried to
locate the counter-reiters. Although the
coins are made of genuine metal there is
a big profit in the manufacture.

 

 

 

“fife-’3 Sister Too Near.

PHILADELPHIA. May' 31.-—The
question of marriage with a deceased
wife’s sister was disposed of by declin-
ing the request of the Chicago presby-
tery to refer the question of repealing
the present confession of faith on that
point to the various presbyteries. As it
now stands it reads. “The man may not
marry any of his wife’s kindred nearer
in blood than he may of his own nor the
woman of her husband’s kindred nearer
in blood than of her own.”

MARION, Ind., May 31.—Thc striking
of a match by a spectator near an oil
well three miles east of Marion last-night
caused the oil surrounding the well to ig-
nite, and the flames instantly spread, con-
sunling everything for several squares.
Six men who were on the tank into which
the oil was pouring were terribly burned.

 

Betsy Ross Remembered:

PHILADELPHIA, May 31.——Over

RUSSIA’S. MEMlAlloM alums.

It I: Thought Desirable That All
Mediation, \Vilctiler Sought or 0(-
tered, Shall Not Be Compulsory,
but of a Friendly Nature.

THE HAGUE, May 31.-The Brus-
sels conference section of the interna-
I. tional peace congress, after adopting the
second reading of articles 23 to 34, which
deal with prisoners of war, discussed
questions relating to flags of truce, capit-
ulations and armistices as contained in
articles 43 to 52 inclusive, upon which
an agreement wasreached.

The Red Cross section considered the
extension of the Geneva convention to
naval walfare and adopted slight modi-
fications of the articles relating to ma-
terial, leaving the other two categories,
general and «as to personnel, for future
consideration.

The Het Vaderland prints the text of
the Russian proposals regarding media-
tion and arbitration.

Part 1 deals with the desirability of
seeking a solution of international dis-
putes by the mediation of friendly pow«
ers and sets forth that such good offices,
Whether sought or proffered, shall bear
strictly the character of friendly counsel
and in no way of compulsory force.

Part 2 deals with international arbi-
tration, which it declares “the most effi-
cacious and equitable means of settling
questions regarding the- international ap-
plication of treaties.” The contracting
powers therefore should undertake to
seek arbitration in such cases so far as
these affect neither vital interests nor the
national honor of the parties ill the dis-

pute. Then, after setting forth that
each state remains the sole judge of

what cases are so to be submitted to ar-
bitration, it is suggested that a large
number of cases, such as questions of
pecuniary damage and disagreements in
the application of treaties or conventions
affecting commercial, postal, navigation,
currency, sanitary and copyright mat-
ters and the like not affecting vital inter-
ests or national honor, are those in which
arbitration should be obligatory. In all
other cases, says the Russian scheme, ar-
bitration, though recommended by the
present act, can only be applied on the
spontaneous initiative of one of the par-
ties iu dispute and with the express con-
sent of the other party.

The closing clause provides as follows:

“With a view of facilitating recourse
to arbitration the signatory powers
agree to formulate a common arrange-
ment for the employment of international
arbitration and for the fundamental prin«
ciples to be observed in drawing up rules
of procedure to be followed pending in-
quiry into the dispute and the pronounce-
ment of the arbitrators' decision. The
application of these principles and pro-
cedure may be modified ill virtue of spe-
cial arrangements between the states
which may have recourse to arbitration.”

Part 3 deals with an international com-
mission of inquiry.

 

 

Thrcc' Proposals Combined.

LONDON. May 31.—-Tllc correspond-
ent of The Standard at The Hague says:
"An important advance 'was made today
ill the direction of a scheme of arbitra-
tion cox billing the lussian. British and
American proposals. The representa-
tives of these nations arrived at an
agreement which seems to find general
acceptance.” ’

The Daily Ll‘elegraph’s correspondent
at The Hague says: “The American
scheme deals with the entire question.
Not only does it accurately define the
type of permanent tribunal, but it also
provides satisfactorily for the mechan-
ism of such a court in all its details. The
Americans. however. are willing to have
the best features of the British. Ameri-
can and Russian proposals amalgamated
in a homogeneous whole.”

 

Repairs on the Mercedes. .
“'ASHINGTON, May 31.——-The mem-
bers of the board of naval bureau chiefs
who will be called upon to decide as to
the nature of the repairs and changes to
be made upon the captured Spanish
Cruiser Reina Mercedes, now at he Nor-
folk navy yard, are somewhat di ided in
opinion, and it 'may be that he cruiser
will be tied up at the dock at $052011. and
left there to await the pleasu'r of,con-
gress at the next session. T e Reina
Mercedes does not represent the latest
ideas in naval construction. A conserva-
tive estimate places, the cost of refitting
the Mercedes so as to entitle her to a
place on the naval lists at about $250,-
000, which would be about 25 per cent
of her value.

 

 

The Speakership Contest.

TOLEDO. May 31.—Congressman J.
H.’ Southard in giving an estimate of the
speakership situation denied that Hen-
derson would get a solid delegation from
Ohio, although he said he was his per-
sonal preference as against Shel-man of
New York. He believes the fight is be-
tween Sherman and Hen erson. He un-
derstands that Congressman Grosvenor
is a candidate for the place.

MIME'MILLEM Ali MANY INJURED.

Disaster Occurred to Through Train
From Chicago to Minneapolis.
Cars Telescoped and Filed
In n. Confused Heap.

'WATERLOO, Ia., May 29.—The
through train from Chicago to Minneapo-
lis over the Rock island and Burlington,
Cedar Rapids' and Northern railways
waspwrecked at 1:15 SuL‘day morning at
the crossing of Sink creek, about four
miles southeast of this place. The train
consisted of six coaches, including mail
and baggage car, smoking car, two pas-
Nine per-
sons were killed and 23 injured.

The list of dead is as follows: E. L. Ar-

 

 

nold, lumbe'rman, Minneapolis; \V. A.
McLaughlin, Muskegon, Mic-11.; R. H.

Schwette, Alton, Illsl; Davis Hallo, Min-
neapolis; F; S. Carpenter. St. Louis; -—
Hawkins, Pullman conductor; George
W'ainwright, train conductor; lVill Schol-
liam of St. Louis and one unknown per-
son.

A cloudburst had washed the sand and
gravel roadbed, leaving the track un-
supported for a stretch of 20 feet. The
rails, and ties held together. and there
was nothing to indicate the insecurity of
the road. The engine struck the washout
and was derailed in the ditch beside the
track, and behind it the cars were piled
up in a confused heap. The mail car
tipped over and. was telescoped by the
baggage car behind, while the rear end
of the baggage ear telescoped the smok-
er. The roof of the sleeper plowed its
way through the day coach, while the
lower half of the latter crashed through
the sleeper. '

The engineer and fireman jumped from
the train and escaped with slight inju-
rles.

Mr. Schwette of Alton, 1115., was
brought to this city' alive, bllt died at 35'
o’clock. He was badly cut about the
head, and it was evident from the be-
ginning that his injuries were fatal. He
was on his way to Minneapolis, where he
was to be married yesterday. He asked
his physician to telegraph his" father and
his sweetheart. “Tell her,” he gasped,
“that I: have been detained by a wreck
and cannot__ keep the appointment on
time. Don’t say any more.”

The news was brought to this city by a
mail clerk, the whistle was blown, a
switch engine and coach hastily prepared
and a relief train sent very speedily. The
injured passengers were extricated from
the debris and brought here. Another re-
lief train soon arrived from Cedar Rap-
ids and took a number of the seriously
injured to be treated in the,hospital in
that city.

 

Another Iowa Wreck.

OELW'EIN, 1a., May 29.—~The Chica-
go Great \Vestern passenger train that
left St. Paul Saturday night at 8:10
o’clock was wrecked two miles north of
here yesterday morning. One person, the
colored porter, was killed. Several men
and women on the train were more or
less injured. The train was running over
lowlands, when the track began to settle
and the train was derailed. Nearly all of
the passengers in the sleepers were un-
dressed in their berths when the wreck
occurred. The rain was coming down fu-
riously. lightning was flashing and than-
der pealing. The porter Was crushed to
death ill the forward part of the first
sleeper.
