RESEMBLES HIS FATHER.
Rev. Thomas c. Hall Occupied the Fifth
Avenue Pulpit.

New York, Nov. 13.-Rev. Thomas
Cummings Hall, the son of the late
Rev DR.. John Hall, occupied the pulpit
of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
Church this morning. He was greeted
by the largest congregation that has
assembled in the church since the days
of the Warszwiak controversy. Many
were attracted by curiosity not only to
see and listen to the son of the late
celebrated divine but actuated by de-
sire to see the man whom many favor
as the successor to his father as min
lister.
Rev. Thomas c. Hall has not
preached for two years owing to i'll
health superinduced in building up one
of the largest Presbyterian churches in
Chicago
+ He. bears some resemblance to his dis
tinguished father, but has greater en-
ergy and more eloquence, combined
with much of the directness of the late
DR.. John Hall.
His sermon was full of energy and
made a decided impression. 1t was an
nounced from the pulpit that there
would be meeting Of the congregation
next Wednesday evening for the pur-
pose of appointing a committee to CO.
operate with the committee appointed
by the session to recommend some sue
cessor to the late DIR. John Hall. That
the son of DR. Hall who preached to-
day will be one of the men considered,
there is no doubt.

CAPT. WARREN'S IDEAS.
Believes That Gomez viii Not Have
Americans About Him.

Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 13.-Capt.
Warren, an American, who has been
with Gen. Maxine Gomez for nearly
two years, has arrived here. Accord
ing to his statement, Gen. Gomez will
no longer have Americans about him,
and is getting rid of them as fast as
possible. He takes the same course in
the case of Cubans suspected Of favor
ing annexation to the United States.
The result is that some of the best
men, who were long attached to his
immediate staff are not now with him.
1t will be difficult, Capt. Warren be-
lieves, to get the majority of the in
surgents to disband. His idea is that
when the American authorities get con-
troll of the other portions of the island,
they should give out no rations and
punish severely all thefts Of cattle and
produce. He thinks also that there may
be some trouble with the insurgents
because of their insisting ON the right
to courtmartiai delinquents among
themselves.
There is very little serious sickness
among the troops here. Everybody is
improving with the cooler weather. 1t
is estimated that no fewer than $4,000
persons in this section are learning
English, in addition to the school chill
dren. The greater part of Marina
street is now macadamized. This inn
provement is to be extended through
out the entire city, in place of the an
Gent cobblestones
The United States revenue steamer
Manning is now here, with Captain
Shoemaker chief of the revenue cutter
service, who came to investigate as
to the need of a vessel for Collector
Donaldson. Capt. Shoemaker believes
that Collector Donaldsons request
should be complied with. Owing to the
heavy weather, the Manning instead of
the converted yacht Hist, will be placed
at the disposal of Gen. Wood, comman-
der of the military division OF Santa
go, for his trip from Guantanamo along
the northern coast of the province. The
Manning, with Gen Wood, VIII prob
ably leave on Tuesday.

To Farm Out
Philippines
REPORTED IN PARIS
Son OF Brigham Young Said
To Be Syndicate Head.

Paris, Nov. 1S.-The Gaulois fnfs
morning says: The acquisition OF the
Philippines for % years by an Hnterna-
tional syndic ate from whichever power
may eventually acquire them, is a ru-
NOR based on facts of which the Gau-
lois will tomorrow (AIonday) give de-
tails.
Following this lead. the Gaulois ana
other Paris papers VIVA tomorrow an
nounce the scheme somewhat on these
lines: A syndicate representing $780,
100000 capital proposes to take over the
commercial resources and advantages
OF the Philippines for a term of 40
years, paying to the dominant power
therein S125,0 900 for the privilege.
Under the alleged terms of this scheme
the dominant power would administer
the political and military government
OF the island at its own expense, un-
der the apportionment named, while
the syndicate would collect all customs
and other revenues for the term speci-
fed.
The scheme involves giving Spain
Sl15,0 600 to satisfy any real or mag
mary claims she may make as to the
territory. This feature is said to be
ed States will be the dominant power.
The remaining 500 600 of this re-
puted syndicate would be reserved as
it's working capital.
The sponsor of the project is Mr..
Young, said to be a son of Brigham
Young, and an attempt is apparently
made to create the impression that the
capital of $500, 100000 is already under
written. 1t is thought possible, how
ever. if the alleged syndicate has an
existence, that Americans may have
an opportunity given them to join with
it in holdings of large or small amounts.
Whether it prove veritable or ether
wise friends of the United States here
are asking if the announcement of. the
scheme is not intended to enbarrass
the Americans by an offer, real or APP
parent, of $400, 600, 900, for a limited time,
for the use of what the Americans may
desire to acquire in perpetuity for a
sum relatively nil.
Non-official Americans in Paris put
aside as unthinkable the assumption
that the United States would farm out
it's burdens or it's advantages, if any,
in the Philippines, which, if acquired,
win be taken over as Indemnity attend
ing the discharge of high responsible
ties. In any event, the American com
missioners = will doubtless first ask
whether the announcement is timed to
serve the ends Of the syndicate, or to
hinder the efforts of Judge Day and his
associates to effect an amieable ADJUST
ment of the Philippine question.

ARE IN FEAR.
Inhabitants Of Panay Ask
American Protection.

Manila, Nov. 13-The following adj
vices have been received from Iloilo,
capital of Panay, one of the four prin-
cipal islands of the Yiscayas group:
"The insurgents have occupied Lin
ganis, Oton and Pavia, suburbs of
Iloilo, and are daily expected to attack
the town. The Spaniards have aban-
doned the Mole and destroyed the con-
Meeting bridges.
Business is paralyzed and the in
habitanUs are in a state of terror. The
mercantile houses of all nationalities
have signed a circular asking the COM
mander of the United States cruiser
Charleston to remain, as the Spanish
authorities are incapable of affording
them protection" 1t is reported also
that the insurgents have taken the
whole of the islands of Negros and
Zebu, Viscayas group As the cable
connections are cut it is impossible
to confirm this rumor.
On Nov. Gen. Rios. Spanish gov
ernor of the Viscayas is said to have
declared a seven days armistice in or
der to communicate with Madrid with
view of transferring control to the
Americans. Maj. Bell has gone to
Iloilo to ascertain the facts of the sit
uation. The United States transport
Scandal will leave tomorrow with %
sick and discharged men.

PROBABLY UNTRUE.
Sensational Report of Death Of 0reyfus
Not Generally Believed.

Paris, Nov. 13.-It is reported here to-
night that Dreyfus is dead. The rumor
is believed to be based upon a mysteri-
Gus telegram received from Colmar,
capital of Upper AIsace, signed by an
unknown correspondent. So far as can
be ascertained there is no official con-
frmation of the report.
| The father-in-law of Dreyfus dis
credits it. He says he has excellent ac-
counts which he received from the col
onial office quite recently as to the pris-
oner's health. Despite these assurances
there are dark rumors ahoat. In view of
the curious manner in which the letter
from Dreyfus, declaring that he had
abandoned all hope, was conveyed to
Nine Dreyfus on Friday, many people
believe he is dead.
| dispatch from Paris on Friday said
that Nine Dreyfus had applied that
| day at the Office of the minister of the
colonies for permission to send her hus-
band some warm clothing for his return
home. The request was refused on
ground that the government would do
whatever was necessary. At the same
time, according to the dispatch, the
authorities read her a letter from her
| husband to the effect that, having for
five months addressed appeals for re-
vision to Gen. De Boisdeffre (recently
chief of staff of the French army with
out getting any reply, and being weary
and exhausted by his. useless appeals,
he would write no more to his family
or to anybody.
He described himself as i'll and dying,
and bequeathed to the generosity Of
my country the care of rehabilitating
my memory" 1t appears that Nine
Dreyfus then asked permission to tele-
graph her husband the decision of the
court of cessation. This request was
also refused. Then, through a friend.
/; she appealed to President Faure, but
with no better result. The dispatch said
her counsel would bring the whole mat
ter before the court of cessation.
! Careful inquiries made at Colmar this
! evening show that nothing is known
there as to the death of Dreyfus 1t is
now believed that the telegram was a
hoax

A QUIET DAY.
Christian Temperance Wom-
EN- Prepare For Election.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 13.--This was a
quiet day among w. c. t. u delegates.
so far as convention work was con-
cerned. A number of delegates filed
local pulpits both morning and evening.
But one session Of the convention was
held, Miss E. w. Greenwood, worlds
national superintendent of evangelistic
department, preaching at 2.3O o'clock
at the Peoples Church. The temple
matter and election of officers, which
promised so much excitement Saturday,
were kept as much in the background
as possible.
The temple matter is due to come up
late Monday afternoon. when Mrs. Ma
tilda B. Carse, the founder of the
temple, will make her report on it,
and seek to overcome the adverse de-
cision of the executive committee on
the subject. The polling of the dele
gates continues actively, and every
body is confident of winning. A very
lively contest is promised, the first
move probably being an attempt to Sc
cure a secret ballot.
Friends of the temple believe they
can gain most by such a course, be-
cause Of the timidity of some of the
delegates. The general opinion has
been that Mrs. L. Fl. N. Stevens, vice
president at large and acting pTesi-
dent, would be unopposed in ner can
didacy for the place made vac ant by
the death of Frances Willard, but sew
eral other candidates have been an
nounced. Mrs. Martin Fl. Durham Of
Ohio one of the temple trustees and
now state president of Ohio, is a prom
inent candidate, and her friends hope
for help from the friends of the tenn
pie. Another prominent candidate is
Mrs. B. G. Forbes, state president Of
Connecticut. Mrs. Stevenson's resig-
nation leaves the position of cores
bonding secretary vacant, and a num-
Der Of prominent workers have been
mentioned for the office.
There is little canvassing being
done and Miss Anna A. Gordon, form
erly Miss Wizards confidential friend
and secretary, seems to be the most
prominent in the field. There seems no
reason to doubt that the other officers
will be reelected. The place of next
meeting has not been decided upon,
but it is probable that it will be Seat
tie. There are number of cities that
have invited the convention to meet in
the east, but the general sentiment
seems to be in favor of Seattle.

TAX TEA AND COFFEE.
So Advocates Senator Hanna Regarding
The Tariff Revision.

Cleveland, O.. Nov BIN an inter-
view tonight, Senator Hanna said the
tariff would have to be revised to meet
existing conditions.
1.-THE war revenue measure" he said,
must be revised, but we will keep
many of the original features of the law
simply because it is now necessary.
Under the old tariff law we are not
getting very much revenue, because we
are exporting instead of importing, and
something must be done TO meet these
new conditions. We must have new
revenue measure. So far as [ am con-
cerned, favor putting duty on tea
and coffee.
1.-The revenues for the support of the
government must be raised in some
way, and the indirect is the best way,
according to my idea. When the peo-
pie do not realize that they are paying
tax, there is no complaint. Still it
will be necessary to retain some of the
features of the war revenue measure.
The tax is now on the people, and in
some instances it is the proper method
of taxation
