BELGIANS MASSACRED

Near the HsadVVatsTI Of the HiIs-Tho
Force 5000 Men was Under the Dlroo.
tion OF baron DhAnlS, who was aIsS
KILLED.
BRUSSELS, Juno 2a-The Reforme
says It learns from good source that
tho entire Dhanls expedition to the
headwatery Of the Nile. Including Baron
DhanIs himself. has been massacred.
Baron Dhanis last year enlisted g.
900 men In the Congo Free state to take
part in secret expedition. The Brit
ish government allowed a number oe
Its Hussar troops to Join the expedi-
tion, but It was officially denied that an
Anglo Belgian movement had been
concerted against the Biahdists. The
general impression, however, was that
this force was intended to act In con-
Junction with the Anglo-Egyptian eX-
pedition up the Nile and take the AIah-
dists between two fires, and eventually
complete the reconquest OF the SoudRn.
In August last Baron Dhanis was re-
ported TO have arrived nt Lado. north
OF the territory OF the Congo Free state,
on the White Nile and some 325 mlle8
north OF the Victoria Nyanza. Il was
then understood that the Dhanis eXpe-
dltion would push on northward in the
direction OF Khartoum.
Early in December last It was re-
ported that the expedition had met with
disaster and Baron Dhanls had POSI-
lively stated that there was no ground
for the report, and that when last
heard from, in September. the Baron
was at Stanley Falls COO miles from the
nearest Dervlsh forces.
Baron Dhanis was born IN London in
March, 1859, of Belgian father and G
mother OF English extraction. He was
educated in Scotland and In Belgium,
and entered the military school at Brus-
sells IN 1882
In 1884 he became q lieutenant In an
infantry regiment, and later he was en-
trusted with a mission TO Zanzibar by
the International African Association.
He soon displayed considerable ability
and was appointed by the Belgian gov.
ernment 20 the command of the eGpe.
dltion to Kathnga. He defeated Con-
Roluttete, one OF the most aggressive OF
slave|tradlng Arabs; defeated Sefu, the
son Of Tippoo Tib, and Munie Moharre.
and captured Nyangwe and Kassongo.
Dhanis also Inflicted crushing defeat
upon Rumnliza, with the result OF COM
pletely oVerthrowIng the Arab rule In
the Tanganyika district. Later he re-
turned 20 Belgium and was made .
baron by King Leopold. His appoints
ment 20 the command OF the Anglo
Belgian secret expedition against the
Mahdists was the next chapter In the
career Of this officer.

Rody-NO Action rSksn.

Annexation Question Comes Up In that
Rody-No Action rsksn.
LONDON, June 2l.-In the house OF
commons to-day the parliamentary sec
rctary for the foreign office, Mr.. curzon.
replied to the question of Mr.. Beckal.
conservative, regarding Hawaiian an
ncxati0n.
Mr.. Bekars question was whether
the government was aware that queen
I.lluokalani has been deposed by small
body OF Americans who, without right
or title. have assumed sovereignty over
Hawaii and now to save themselves
from the resentment OF the people have
requested the American government to
annex Hawaii, and whether Great Brit
ain proposes 10 allow this most Import
ant colHng station to pass Into the
hands OF the United States without pro-
test"
Mr.. CurZon said her majesty's govern
mrnt did not feel called upon 10 express
an opinion relative to tha circumstances
out OF which the present situation in
Hawaii had arisen. The government
was aware that proposal 10 annex ny! tll-
wall to tho United Stntes had been suD,
mitted TO the President OF the Uhlted
States for the consideration OF the
United States senate. but no deGsion
had been reached. Mr.. CIlrZon ndded
that It would be the object OF her maJee'-
TVS government TO see that whatever
rights. accoyding to International hiW'
belong 10 Great Britain and TO BrltlSh
subjects are fully maintained.

fore the Japanese government must
firmly protest against the proposed an
ncKatlon.
ilawalians In Washington insist that
the reason for the protest OF Japan
against annexation Is that japan really
desires to acquire the Islands herself
The main point Of contention between
Japan nnd Hawaii over the treaty be-
tween the two countries, It IS learned,
is as to the wording OF the treaty which
HawalI seeks to abrogate. This treaty
has Il provision that II may be ter
minated ut any time BY mutual con-
sent" This Is construed by the Japan
csc government to mean that the treaty
cannot be terminated without the con-
sent OF both governments. and as long
as Japan insists upon keeping II In
force Il cannot be abrogated. The Hn-
walinn contention is that thewords have
no such meaning and that any contract
or agreement can be dissolved by mu-
tual consent as a matter OF course:
that II the claim OF Japan was valid
the treaty would be in effect permA-
nently.
II is understood that Japan insists
that her present claims must be nc-
knowledged and accepted by the United
States IN case OF annexation, al
though protesting against annexation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2.-Mr.
Hale, CMe.). came forward to-day with
a surprise In the form of n proposed
amendment to the senate rule admit
ting to the privileges OF the floor OF tho
senate only ex-senators "who are not
Interested in any claim or In the prose-
cutlon Of the same. or directly in any
bill pending before Congress" Added
TO the text OF the proposed change is the
following:
"The purpose OF the proposed amend
ment is to prevent cx-sonators from en-
JoyIng the privileges OF the floor OF the
senate for the purpose Of urging or OPP
posing claims or bills In which they are
employed as attorneys"
Mr.. Hale stated that II was matter
OF satisfaction to renew the acquaint-
ancc and the association nofsenators who
had been members OF thcbody, buthe did
not think II was compatible with the
dignity OF the senate that the privileges
OF the floor should be used by gentlemen
interested IN pending legislation.
Mr.. Hawlcy suggested that there
might be some objection TO any pointing
out OF eX-senntors, and Mr.. Allen asked
what had taken place in recent days
to call attention 20 the subject
Mr.. Hale asked that he be not request
cd to particulnrIze. Mr.. Allen declared
that there had been no more lobbying OF
late than there had been for years. AZ
one time no had introduced bill MAX
Ing It a crime 20 come on the capitol
grounds with view to lobbying on
pending measures 1t was at a time
when the pooling bill and other meas
urcs were bringing lobbyists from all
parts OF the country. Why not mako It
a crime, covering all lobbyists, he ask
cd.
Mr.. Hale explained that he was not
seeking any such drastic measure.
Mr.. Allen again asserted that lobby
lists crowded the corridors and galleries
like crows In the trees. The proposed
amendment went over.
The consideration OF the wool sched-
ulc was then resumed. In reply TO Mr..
Vest as to the programme for the future
handling OF the bill. Mr.. Allison said 1t
was the purpose TO complete the wool

named. then some excepted paragraphs,

were rejected by decisive majoritics.

through paragraph $40. the first OF the
paragraphs relating 10 carpets. During
