government, similar to the British
colonial governments. ~
Regarding the complaints of the
Filipinos the general said:
1T was impossible to recognize the
insurgents, and 1 made it point not
to do so. as l lcpew it would lead to
complications. Admiral Dewey, after
my arrival. pursued the same course.
What was done before is not for me to
comment upon. /, purposely. did not
recognize Aguinaldo or his troops, nor
use them in any way. Aguinaldo did
not ask to see me until 10 days after
my arrival, and after that l was too
much occupied to see him.
In talking the leading FIlipinos I
told them the United States had no
promises to make but that they might
be assured that the government and
people of the United States would
treat them fairly. This was because
the United States is in the habit of
dealing fairly with all struggling peo-
pies and not because / had been
authorized to say anything of the kind.
1--WE purposely did not give the in
surgents notice of our attack on Ma
Mia because we did not need their CO.
operation and did not propose to have
it. We were moved by the fear that
they might loot and plunder and pos
sibly murder. Aguinaldo's subordinate
leaders, in cOnversing with American
officers, frequently said they intended
to cut the throats of all the Spaniards
in Manila.
"Aguinaldo himself wrote complains
ing letter. saying the insurgents hadl.
been denied their share of the bOoty.yst4
whatever he may have meant by that
took no notice of this letter, nor do
think the subject now raised is mat
ter for discussion between Aguinaldo
and any representative Of the Ameri-
can government"

NOT THE LAST MEETING.
Spanish Commissio Will Hang to Wreck
and Secure as Much as Possible.

Madrid, Nov. 16-The minister of
foreign affairs, Duke Almodovar De
Rio, has received dispatches from the
Spanish peace commissioners in Paris
indicating that today's meeting of the
joint peace commissions will not be the
last. The commissioners, it is added,
have received additional instructions
to defend Spain's rights in the Philip
pine islands.
The minister of marine, Senior AunOn,
and the minister of foreign affairs have
conferred on the subject Of Emperor
Williams visit to Spain.
The newspapers discuss the Carlist
agitation, but express the belief that
the followers of Don Carlos will not
issue revolutionary manifesto.
The Queen Regent received in audi
ence, today, number of volunteer Off
GERS of the Spanish forces recently in
the province of Santiago de Cuba.
They asked to be employed in the army
of the peninsula or to be sent to the
Spanish garrisons in Africa.

? Dover. He., Nov. 16.-The trial of
John Peters for the murder of .Joh,

gun in the supreme court, Wednesday.
before Judge Fogler.
A greater part of the forenoon was
taken up with the impanelling of the
jury. County Attorney Hayes and At
torney General Haines will conduct the
prosecution while j. B. Peaks of Dover
ana Henry Hudson of Guilford have
peen appointed to defend Peters.
II Is expected that the prisoner will
take the ground of self-defence. as If
1ad been claimed that Smart, the mur
dered man, had been drinking heavily
on the day of the shooting. and had
MADE several attempts to draw Peters
into a row.
Smart was killed in the wash-room Of
A boarding house. Smart took hold of
peters and Peters drew a revolver and
shot him. While the indictment
against Peters charges murder, many
persons who have followed the case
ook for a verdict of manslaughter.
County Attorney Hayes made the open
ng argument for the prosecution, this
afternoon. The government, he said
would attempt to prove the killing mali
cious and of such a nature as would ad-
nit of no legal excuse
The examination of witnesses then be-
gan, and Thomas Bridge, an uncle of the

shooting was done, and two other men
gave their evidence tending to show

Presiding.

A. l.. McFadden, Sheriff.
F. A. Small, Stenographer.
Waterville, Nov 16
Horace Wood, exr., VS.. Sumner Rowe.
G. F. johnson for plaintiff; Brown g.
Brown for defendant
The plaintiff is the executor of the
last will and testament of his wife,
Cordelia Wood who deceased in June,
1897 and he brings this suit to recover
a balance of s139.35 for board of the two
minor children of the defendant and
grandchildren of the plaintiff and his
deceased wife.
In August, 1896, the wife of the de-
PENDANT separated from him, taking
her two daughters, of the age of II and
IL, respectively, to the house of her
mother, Cordelia Wood, where they re-
mained until their grandmother de-
ceased. The plaintiff claims to recover
for a portion of the board under a spec
ial contract with the defendant, and for
the remainder of the time, on the
ground of an implied contract, because
the wife was justified in taking from
her husband the children, he being, ac-
NOi ulIlS " lilt CleiiItl, d peISOiI uIllL 70
have charge of them.
The defendant introduced no testi-
mony, the statute not permitting him
to testify personally because the plain
tiff in interest had deceased, but his
counsel claimed that from the testi-
mony in the jury ought to be satisfied
that there was no special or implied
contract, and also that the suit should
have been brought in the name of
Horace Wood as the. true party in in
terest. which would have given the
defendant an opportunity to testify.
The verdict was for the plaintiff for
s14s.S1.
A. G. Wood VS.. Sumner Rowe. Same
counsel as in preceding case.
This action grows out of the circum-
stances connected with the other case.
When Cordelia Wood deceased her son
ran the house and continued boarding
the two children, and he sues to re-
cover S5S.57. The defence is that the
wife was not justified in leaving de-
fendant's house and taking the chill
dren. A divoree was granted to Mrs.
Rowe at the November term of this
court, in 1897.
The testimony on the part of the
plaintiff was nearly concluded at the
time of adjournment.
