sire for revenge for her husbands death.
General Nunez said. "Dr. Rial was a
wonderful man, with intellectual attain

was the life aud soul of the Philippine
revolution. It's inception was his work
and the active campaign was under his
immediate direction. Grave mistakes were
made at first from mistaken idea that
the Spaniards could be met In a pitched
open battle. After reverses at the begin

their struggle.
General Ageunas OF the Philippines has
been constantly in communication with

LONDON. September 23-The protest which
the London bankers drew up at their meet
ing In the clearing house yesterday against
the policy Of the governor of the Bank OF
England In announcing its willingness 70
maintain one-fifth Of its bullion reserve
IN silver was presented to the bank today.
The resolution is accompanied BY a formal
letter and the resolution itself is in the
name Of the clearing house, rs all the
members were present and a majority OF
them presented the resolution, which wau
finally unanimously adopted. The reso-
luton follows
That this meeting entirely disapproves
OF the Bank Of England agreeing to exer-
else the option, permitted by the act of
1854, OF holding one fifth. or any of its
proportion whatever. in silver as re-
serve against the circulation Of Bank OF
England notes.
That a copy Of this resolution be sent to
the Bank Of England. the prime minister,
the first lord Of the treasury and the
chancellor Of the exchequer"
An organized movement has been begun
to induce the other commercial bodies to
protest against the announcement Of the
governor of the Bank OF England
A high official, who was participant in
the negotiations between the United States
bimetallic commissioner and the British
cabinet, said to a representative Of the
Associated Press today:
II fear the bankers will brighten the
government into receiing in their stand
for bimetallism. They have forgotten that
parliament unanimously resolved that
measures to secure a stable par of exchange
between gold and silver and Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, the chancellor of the ex-
chequer, pledged himself to do all in his
power to carry the resolution into effect.
The English public have forgotten also
that ten of the fourteen members of the
agricultural commission signed a recon-
mendation for bimetallsm as a palliative
for the agricultural depression in England.
The public and the newspapers seem to
think the government Is influenced mere
ly by desire to- secure the good will of the
United States. when 1t is attempting TO
carry out the declared policy Of parlia-
ment."

Washington, September 23.-The naval

remarkable results from certain expert
ments It has been making by direction OF
MIR. Roosevelt. which is an attachment for
torpedoes, the invention OF an Austrian
named Obrey. This is kind OF Groescope
and the reports from the torpedo station
where the tests have been made and which
are to be continued, show that IL has the
property, having been once directed at the
object to be hit, OF actually restoring the
torpedo to which 1t is attached 10 a straight
course towards that object. even after 1t
has been detected. The addition OF this
device Is said by experts TO make the tor
pedo almost a weapon OF precision.
