CROKER ISSUES 4 STATEMENT
Criticises New York Police Dempart-
 ment Under Roosevelt and Moss

New York, Nov. 1.-Richard Croker at the Democratic club tonight gave out statement criticising the admin istration of the police department un- der Colonel Roosevelt and Frank Moss. MT. Croker asserted that since Tam many returned to power there had been a great decrease in the number of crimes in the city and a decrease of 60 per cent. in the number of robberies of safes and houses because the police had been attending to their legitimate business" He spoke at length on what he called Colonel Roosevelt's "fanatical policy in the police board.
 z T believe" said the Tammany lead- CT, that Frank Moss succeeded Theo- dore Roosevelt as president of the board. He should therefore be famil- jar with the legacy of unpunished crimes that was left to him. He has talked of wide open New York recently. I would like to direct his attention to the New York of Roosevelt's day with which he seems to be unfamiliar. He seems to have forgotten that when the Roosevelt police board was hunting women with the aid of policemen in hired dress suits, when children of ten- der age were being used to induce sa- loon keepers to violate the law by sell ing cans of beer, murder after murder was committed and in the hurly- burly of Roosevelt's fanatical policy nearly every murderer escaped. Flats were robbed while the demoralized police force were trying to entrap women to commit crime. Safes were blown open while an almost useless police depart ment was watching side doors. Busi- ness houses were footed and the thieves took their plunder away while the paid guardians of the peace were spending the city's money for wine and adding to instead of decreasing the city's crim- inal record. Thieves went through the scuttles undisturbed, while Mr Roose- welt himself, in his sensational night trips through the city, was trying to sneak upon a policeman who stopped walking for a minute. During the time Roosevelt and Moss were in the alleg- ed reform police board, nineteen mur- ders were committed. It was Roose- velt's own acts that made it possible for the murderers to go unpunished One of the first things he did was to genera1ize the detective bureau so thoroughly that it was practically help less"
 MT. Croker said there were more than 1,5OO crimes committed during MT Roosevelt's and his associates term than in any previous year. Since Roosevelt and Moss have been out of the department the crimes have de- creased 8 per cent. Only 113 flats have been robbed and 7S stores. There have been five scuttle robberies and seven safe robberies. Only one or two of the criminals escaped. These are facts for those to explain who are prating about a wide open town.'

THE PHILTPPTNE QUESTION.
Spain Advised Not to Count Upon
 European Intervention.

London, Nov. 2.-The Paris corre- spondent of the Times notices with pleasure the fact that important French newspapers advise Spain not to count upon European intervention and that it is expedient for her to yield so as not to be exposed to the terrible conse- quences of bombardment of the Span- ish coasts.
 The Paris correspondent of the Tele- graph says: "The disagreement be- tween the American and the Spanish commissioners, which under ordinary circumstances might cause alarm throughout Europe, is hardly noticed, notwithstanding the Fashoda affair. The Spaniards are in a. position to know and assert that their government will resist the American demands, but will sell the Philippines for a lump sum. am assured that rupture on Friday is improbable. Spain will endeavor by arguments and appeals to gain what ever concessions are possible, but she will not risk a renewal of hostilities.

AN ESTATE OF $a lO,O0O. The Will of the Late Thomas R. Troxv.

DrhuGe.
 The will of the late Thomas R. Trow- bridge, an autograph will, executed March F, 1896, was filed in the probate court yesterday afternoon. The will contains no public bequests, all the property being left to the widow and Francis Bacon Trowbridge, a son. Henry D. White and Oliver s. White were appointed appraisers of the es- tate. The executors of the estate are the son of the deceased, Francis B. Trowbridge, and H. R. H. Trowbridge, now, and for five years past, residing in Dresden, Germany, and Rutherford Trowbridge, brothers of the deceased. The value of the estate is in the neigh borhood of $250,0O0. To the widow is left the family residence on Temple street; all the rest of the property, per- sonal and real, is left to the son, this disposition being made, as is stated in the will, owing to the fact that the widow is possessed of ample property for her proper maintenance. The prop erty of the deceased consists largely of real estate, including a $40,000 residence and grounds in Litchfield, and many houses in this city, some of which on Columbus and Howard avenues, were erected by the deceased in recent years.

NEW FRENCH CABINET MEETS.
Attitude of M. DelcRsse in the FashOdH
 Matter Approved.

Paris, Nov. 1.-President Faure this evening signed the decree constituting the cabinet formed by M. Dupuy. M. Dupuy had a long conference with his colleagues this afternoon and discuss ed all pending domestic and foreign questions. The ministers reached a complete accord regarding the past record of M. Delcasse, the foreign min ister, toward the Fashoda question, and as to the policy he proposed for the flu ture. They approved also the taxation reform proposals of M Peytral, minis ter of finance. It was agreed that the ministerial statement of policy on the reassembling of parliament, should de- clare that the present construction of the cabinet was meant to mark fur ther stage in the complete union of the whole republican party and should promise the introduction of progressive measures as for instance, old age pen
 sions, and similar bills. AS regards the Dreyfus question, the cabinet bows to the decision of the Court of Cessation and will aid the work of justice.

MINERALS OF THE PHILIPPINES
Admiral Dewey Forwards Memo-
 randum to the Navy Department.

F"huuh 10 the NaSy department.
 Washington, Nov. Admiral Dewey has forwarded to the navy department a memorandum on the mineral re- sources of the Philippines, prepared at the admiral's request by Professor George Becker of the United States ge- ological survey. Professor Becker made considerable researches and consulted all the available authorities. Only about score of the several hundred islands, he says, are known to contain deposits of valuable minerals. He in cludes table showing the mineral bearing islands and their resources. This table follows:
 Luzon, coal, gold, copper, lead, iron, sulphur, marble and kaolin; Cataandu- anes, Sibuyan, Behol and Panaoan, gold only; Marimudqua, lead and silver Mindoro, coal gold and copper; Carra- ray, Batan, Rapura and Semperu, coal only; Masbeta, coal and copper; Rom blen, marble; Samar, coal and gold; Panay, coal, oil, gas, gold, copper, iron and perhaps mercury; Biliram, sulphur only; Leyto, coal, oil and perhaps mer- cury; Cebu, coal oil, gas, gold, lead, sil- yer and iron: Mindananao, coal, gold, copper and platinum; Sulu Archipelago, pearls.
 Of the coal MT. Becker says that it is analogous to the Japanese coal and that of Washington, but not to the Welsh or Pennsylvania coal. 1t might better be characterized as a highly carbonized Ignite likely to contain much sulphur ous iron. pyrites, rendering it liable to spontaneous combustion and injurious to boiler plates. Nevertheless, he says, when pyrites seams are avoided and the Ignite is properly handled it forms a valuable fuel, especially for local con- sI1r1 ntipn

NO YELLOW FEVER IN sAN1IA c O.
Authorized by Gen. Wood -
 Red Cross Praised.

Santiago, Nov. 1.-General Wood, governor of the military department of Santiago, authorizes the statement that there has been no case of yellow fever in Santiago during the last sixty days. In view of the fact that good many people have been unnecessarily fright ened by fictitious tales of suffering Gen. eral Wood asks that hereafter all ap- plicants to the various societies for aid really necessitous one he will endorse the application General Wood says that much will still be needed of the nurses He warmly comments the Red Cross society for continuous help and for supplies, which, under the direction of officers appointed by him, have been effectively distributed.
 Telegraph wires will be stretched im- mediately to Holguin to bring the regi- ment station there into immediate com- munication with headquarters here. Santiago newspapers are asking Gen. eral Wood to appoint a civilian mayor of the city and he will probably desig nate Senor Leonardo Ros, who was mayor under the Spanish regime and was appointed by General Shafter the first civil governor after the American occupation, holding the office for sev- eral weeks. Senor Ros is a Cuban by birth. Formerly he was an autono- mist, but at presnt he is apparently identified with the extremist section of the Cuban party. A representative negro has written a letter to General Wood demanding that the negroes who. he says constitute large majority of the population of the province, shall be given their rights, and announcing his intention to form a labor party com posed of blacks entirely. Matters can not remain longer at standstill

PREPARATIONS AT EsbUIMAULT.
Flagship Impereuse May Sail To-day
 Sailing of the Amphion.

Victoria B. C., Nov. 1.-The Imper- euse, the flagship of the British North Pacific squadron, is expected to sail tomorrow, following the Amphion southward. A rush order for forty tons of provisions was placed with one of the leading merchants to-day. The Impereuse will sail under sealed orders not to be opened until the vessel is out of sight of land. The Amphion took on board one of the fastest torpedo boats in the station. This is the first time this has been done in three years
 When the Leander comes out of dry dock, it is believed she will go south. The torpedo boat destroyer Sparrow
 hawk, now a long time out of commits sion, will be re-commissioned at once
 The torpedo boat destroyer Virago is Drovisioned and coaled and it is thought will accompany the flagship. The sloop of war Icarius is waiting for a new crew expected to arrive in day or two. The Peasant will remain here.

HarNnrd's Practice.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 1.-The pres ence of eighteen graduate coaches was the feature of tAe practice of the Har- yard football team this afternoon. The practice was secret. Among the coach- es were R. G. Wrenn, who has recov- cred from his illness to which he sue cumbed on his return from the cam paign in Cuba with the Rough Riders. The first and second elevens were given two twenty-minute halves, during which some fairly snappy work was done. The first eleven put up a good defensive game. although the rush line half-backs showed the need of coaching in this part of the work. The offensive work was rather more ragged than usual. All the regular Varsity players, except Cochrane, Donald and Daley. were in the line. Secret practice will be con- tinued till Friday and the teams are be- ing put through new signals for the Pennsylvania game.
