the Act. OF course Carlisle favors the re-
peal, but he is not the kind of man to go
to work deliberately to make this or that

Secretary Gresham Speaks Concerning
Threatened Attacks on Chinese.
WAsHIN GToN, May 3.-In regard to
the statement that the Chinese Minister
is much alarmed at the reports he re-
ceived from the West indicating the dan
ger of attacks upon his countrymen
owing to their general refusal to register
under the Geary law, the Post tomorrow
will print the following:
Secretary Gresham, in an interview to-
night, said: at is but natural that the
Chinese and chief representative in the
United States should feel some anxiety.
Upon more than one occasion in the past
deplorable outbreaks against their race
have occurred. The Chinese Minister.
however, has no means of securing in
formation that is not accessible to us.
We have received no reports whatever
indicating that there is likely to be
trouble. do not believe there will be.
"Mr. Adee had left the Department
when reached it this afternoon, but it is
not likely he would have communicated
with the Governors of States upon a mat
ter so serious without informing me of
it. AS matter of course, during my alb
sence he acts as he deems 1 would do
were present.
SIN case of an outbreak the Depart
ment of State would not act, although
there would be nothing out of order in
its making request to State Governors
that they pursue certain line of action,
When disorder occurs it is the duty of
the States to suppress it. If they prove
inadequate the General Government NAV
assist. Such procedure would devolve
upon the Department of War. The State
Department exerts no armed force what
ever"
When told of the statement that the
Chinese Minister communicated with
Secretary Adee i'll order to strengthen the
case of his Government in the proceed
ings for idemnity, Gresham said he was
sure it was a needless precaution, and
expressed strong disbelief in the proba-
bility of any trouble.

Danger of an Uprising Against Mis-

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The danger of
an uprising in Corea against Christian
missionaries in that country has passed.
News that mobs of natives in Seoul had
threatened to eXterminate the whites was
received by the State Department some
weeks ago by cable. Protection from the
United States Government was requested,
and accordingly the Navy Department
sent the steamer Alert from Shanghai to
Corea, with orders to remain until affairs
had assumed a peaceful aspect. Admiral
Harmony cabled the department that the
Alert arrived at her destination on April
oath. To-day another dispatch was re-
ceived from him stating that the Alert
had returned to Shanghai. While moth
ing concerning the condition of affairs
was contained in the dispatch, it is GER
tain the Alert would not have left Corea
if any serious trouble existed.

The Oakland Team Refuses to PLAY
Until Salaries Are Paid.
SAN Francisco, May 3.-The Oakland
baseball team has refused to play more
games until Colonel Robinson, the man.
ager, makes satisfactory settlement as
to unpaid salaries. The men were to
have gone to Los Angeles on Monday
night, and had assembled at the depot
apparently for that purpose, but they
then demanded payment of arrears, and
We're refused. SO the train left without
them.
The men say the payday for the first
months work has been passed nearly
four weeks, and they have not received a
cent. Colonel Robinson declares. how
ever, that he owes the men nothing for
the first months salary, as he gave them
advance money before the season opened,
and he is making the usual deduction.
The men claim that the custom is not to
require repayment in lump sum, but to
make regular discounts on the monthly
salary throughout the season. There the
matter hangs, and there will probably be
no baseball at Los Angeles this week.

LONDON, May 3.-A Madrid cable from
the Captain-General of Cuba is pub
lished, in which he coniesses that his
forces are inadequate to queIl the upris-
ing. Instead of 1000 troops he was sun-
posed to have, he has less than 5000.
which, even under normal conditions.
cannot be considered strong enough. the
cavalry. most required in a campaign OF
this sort, being especially weak.
He adds that several insurgents have
yielded and repeats the rebellion is not
spreading, but is confined to the country
around Holguin, 800 miles from Havana.
The towns of Holguin and Santiago de
Cuba remain loyal.
The Spanish Minister of War, beside
arranging for the embarkation of seven
regiments, has ordered other regiments
now stationed in the interior to concen-
trate at various seaports in case further
reinforcements should be necessary.
1t is reported that the whole Spanish
squadron at New York is to be dispatched
to patrol the coast around Santiago with
orders to cut off the insurgents COM
pletely from communication with Cuban
exiles, and thus prevent the latter from
executing the supposed project of sweep
ing down upon the island with reinforce
ments for the rebels.

New YORK, May 3.-The Posts Wash

newspaper in Washington just as soon IS
the President calls an extra session of

eye out for all dissensions between the

also to pick flaws in the Democratic work
on the tariff and silver legislation and
send out highly-colored versions of all
that goes on in Congress and at the White

is to be in charge, but the signs point to
Thomas II. Mckee, the veteran compiler
