PLAIN TALK FOR GERMANS.
Have No Right to Occupy Any Part
of Philippines.

London, June 16.-The Berlin CORE
spondent of the Star telegraphs from
the German capital today as follows:
The United States embassy declares to
me that the United States will not per-
NIT German troops to be landed in the
Philippines. The Germans, the Amer
leans added, have as little right to oc-
cupy any part of the Philippine Islands
as they have to occupy New York.
Manila and the Philippine islands, they
point out, are now United States terri
tory.
1.-The correspondent here of the AS
ISOLATED Press is informed that there
is no change and that no change is
contemplated in Germany's attitude of
neutrality. At the outbreak of the war,
Emperor William said he intended to
adopt a strictly impartial course, add
ing that he would certainly not do any,
thing to disturb the relations of COM
merce and blood between Germany and
the United States, where so many Ger
mans have found hospitable homes.
This attitude his majesty still adheres
to- and he has emphasized it within the
past few days byI saying that nothing
would be done at Manila beyond pro-
tecting German subjects. The attitude
of the German government, as 1t was
pointed out, must in no wise be judged
by the hostility OF the majority of the
German press and people toward the
United States.

of 500 men from the neighboFhood of

mob the prisoners. Since they have
been in jail two of the murderers,
Jackson and Speier, confessed and told
where they had buried the money,
$1,000.
The mob broke into the Jail about 5
o'clock, but were unable TO get into the
inner cage, where the prisoners were.
The sheriff telegraphed the governor
for troops, and at S o'clock tonight

tary company will not reach Watump-
ka in time to oppose the mob.

graph Wire For the Philippines.

San Francisco. June 16.-When General
Merritt shall call upon General E. S. Otis
to recommend those regiments most fitted
for the next expedition to Manila, the
names of the Minnesota and Seventh Cal
ifornia regiments and of the Wyoming
be suggested. Details of men from each
guard the transports already secured for

according to precedent, the regiments and
battalions selected for such guard duty
may feel reasonably sure of accompany
ing General King to Manila.
Il is not so certain that the Kansas and
Iowa regiments will sail on the next ex-
petition, and il is not likely that the
Washington volunteers gill leave the Pa
ctfic coast for some time. General Mer-
Ram, in command of the Department of
California today issued orders dividing
the Washington regiment between the
Preside ana Angel Island barracks, as
signing the regiment TO those stations
for an indefinite period.
The engineer corps is being organized
with all possible speed, but only a de-
tachment will be ready for sailing with
the third fleet.
y large supply of submarine cable and
telegraph wire has been sent by the war
department for transportation to Manila.
The cable will be used to connect the prn-
cipal islands with Manila after the United
States troops acquire complete possess

ENGLAND'S CLAIM SETTLED.
Uncle Sam Pays Half Million For
Bering Sea Seizures.

Washington, June 16.-The closing chap
ter in the story of the Berins sea fisheries
claims. running over a period of severai
years. was enacted in the office OF the
secretary of state this afternoon when
Judge Day delivered to Sir Julian
Paupncefote. the British ambassador. a
draft on the treasury of the United States
in the sum of s473. 151.26, as payment IN
full of the award of the joint commission
convened in accordance with the terms
of the Paris tribunal of arbitration or 1ss2.
Today was the last day allowed for pay
ment under the terms of the award ard 1t
was made in pursuance of a special act of
congress, passed by that body yesterday
and approved by the president OF the
United States this morning. These claims
are for the seizure, by the revenue cutters
and naval vessels of the United States
detailed for the purpose of patrolling
the Bering sea, of a number OF small
schooners hailing from British Columbia,
that had been engaged in sealing. By so
doing they had violated the law of the
United States, but when the whole gem
eral subject was considered at the Paris
arbitration it was decided. as an incident.

TROOPS FOR PORTO RICO.
Thirty-two Thousand Men Available
For Immediate Embarkation.

New York, June 16.-According to the
estimates made by Adjutant General
Corbin, says the Washington CORE
spondent of the Times, the total num-
Der of troops left at Tampa after the
sailing of the Santiago expedition is in
the neighborhood of $4,000. This in
cludes the portion of the Fourth corps
remaining at Mobile, which is regarded
as a sub-station of the Tampa camp.
At Jacksonville, it is estimated by the
adjutant general, there are about
5000 men. This would make the
entire strength of the forces most
eligibly located for embarkation to Por-
to Rico $4,000 men. Little doubt is
harbored that out of this it would be
possible to organize, by the time the
other preparations for the expedition
are completed, an army of $4,000 men,
thoroughly equipped. There is some
reason to suppose that portion of the
force left at Tampa may yet be sent
on to Santiago as a second division of
General Skaters army. Should the
Spaniards prove more numerous and
formidable about Santiago than is ex-
pected, re-enforcements will undoubt-
eddy be hurried there. Several of the
transports engaged for the Santiago
movement were not used in the first
expedition, and these would be avail
able for second, should it be found
necessary.

THE COUNCIL COMMITTEES
PROPOSITION TO ENACT A CUR
FEW ORDINANCE DISCUSSED.
Bicyclists Will Be Put Under Re
strictions to Insure Safety of Ped
estrians-A. C. Sadler's Claim.

The need of a curfew law and the
wisdom of including more sidewalks in
the prohibited bicycling districts were
subjects of consideration by the coun-
Gil committee on municipal laws last
evening. Councilman Diehrs bill for
an ordinance declaring it unlawful for
children under the age of 10 years to
be at large after s p. m, was amended
by making the danger hour 8 o'clock.
This was done on request of Council
man Wallace. who wanted ii made safe
for the boys and girls who attend Mu-
tual Improvement association meet
ingS. The bill will be recommended
for passage at the next council meet
ing.
MORE SIDEWALKS PRESCRIBED.
The proposed ordinance to prohibit
the riding of bicycles on certain side
walks outside of the business or paved
district was amended until the follow
ing additional sidewalks are pro-
scribed: State street. from the Eagle
gate to North Temple: Canyon road;
First, Second and Third street side
walks from Canyon road to a street;
the north sidewalk of Brigham street,
from Main to E street; the south side
of First South and the north side of
Second South. from State to Second
East; the north side of Second South,
from West Temple to First West, and
both sidewalks on First South, from
West Temple to First West street
The ordinance will be recommended
for passage Tuesday evening.
WANTS A CITY LOT FOR NOTHING.
In the opinion of the committee on
public grounds, Alma C. Sadler will
have to resort to the courts if he hopes
to succeed in getting mayors deed,
under the townsite act, to a vacant
city lot on North Temple street near
the corner of Sixth West. The COM
mittee gave the claimant a hearing in
support of his claim, but Mr.. Sadler
did not make a very favorable impress
sion on the councilmen. His adverse
title consists of a purpOrted assign
ment of the original settlers certifi-
cate from the city surveyor and void
tax sale lien. On crOSS-eXaminatiOn
the claimant admitted that when the
city's lot was assessed and sold for
delinquent taxes as John Does prop
erty, he was employed in the tax col
lector's office. Although twice before
his claim to a deed has been rejected
by former administrations for good and
sufficient cause, Mr.. Sadler could not
explain why he did not before now
bring suit against the city to quiet
title The matter was referred to the
city attorney.
The several other committees last
evening disposed of routine matters
and approved department payrolls for
the half month, aggregating about
$500.

More Transports to Be Chartered.

Washington, June 1.-THE war de-
partment expects to utilize approx
mately S5 transports in the expedition
for the invasion of Porto Rico. This
statement was made officially at the
department. 1t seems to indicate that
the Porto Rico army will equal, If not
exceed, the number which left for San
tiago. The estimate is made that the
35 vessels will carry between $1,000 and
10000 men, with their equipments and
subsistence Army officials say that
reports which have been received from
reliable sources show that the number
of Spanish soldiers in that country is
only 10000 men, although other state
ments indicate that there is consider
ably less than that number. 1t is fair
to assume, they say, that when the
United States army commences active
operations against the city of San
Juan, every available man in that
place will be impressed into military
service and given a gun Hence they
feel that the army of invasion should
be of such proportions as to leave no
doubt of its ability and capacity to
cope successfully with the enemy.
1t is stated positively that the en-
barkation point for the troops for
Porto Rico has not been finally deter
mined upon yet, and until Secretary
Alger and the president have had an
opportunity to confer with General
Miles, who will return to the city to-
morrow, it will not be determined.
For the purposes of the Porto Rican
expedition Secretary Meiklejohn said
today that the department had now
available IL transports. some of which
are already at southern ports, and
these will carry about 5000 men, with
their equipments. Negotiations for the
chartering of other steamers are in
progress rs vessels having been sub
nitted for inspection, and it is not i'm
probable that some transports now en-
gagged in the Santiago expedition will
be utilized. This will depend, however,
entirely upon the aspect of military af-
fairs, as they may develop in eastern

fused to give more than the lieutenant

/ up the discussion OF the platform. The
/ action of last night in throwing out the

the benefits of an open market; a state
insurance; the public ownership of all

greenbacks, instead of Understanding

war.

Consul Williams, who was situated at
Manila before the outbreak of the
war, describing the battle of Manila, in
which he was participant, being on
board the Baltimore at one time and
on the flagship Olympia another. The
consul says the battle lasted two and
a half hours and that the Spanish were
outclassed at every point. He says:
Our guns had greater effectiveness,
our officers and men greater bravery.
The crews are hoarse from cheering

News was received today that all the

third expedition. This body of men will
be augmented by the regiments now on
the way to this city. Only four transport
ships have actually been secured to han

The third expedition cannot possibly
start on the oath of this month, unless
the steamers Indiana, Morgan City and
Ohio are detached and sent out in SQUAD
