DEAR Mr.. KAY:-Would that had better
news to write to you! Your brother was
among the best men on our ship-not only in
the line Of duty but in point of religion. He
was not Of my belief but my church teaches
mo that men like your brother are Gods
children and God takes them to Himself. |
do not remember one occasion on which he
could have been reproached by an officer or
by me-. His was a most exemplary character
steady, Industrious, gentle, true and God
fearing. In fact, conscentiousness was his
principal characteristic.
l regret to say that while believe his body
has been received, it was not identified by me-
There were twentyfour bodies taken to the
cemetery which | did not see. Many of those
which did see were somewhat swolen-not
mutilated-but the distension Of the features
rendered recognition almost impossible. All
the bodies recovered lie at rest in the beautl-
full cemetery OF Havana where they were
inferred with Christian rites
If the body has not been recovered, | will
notify you if identify it. 1t will be sent to
Key West, Florida.
Yours in prayer and sympathy,

STATE FINANCES.
The Rate of Taxation TO Remain at
II Sd Cents ON the Hundred
Dollars.

After final conference between the
Il easury officers and the legislative com
mittees having supervision of the finances
and appropriations the financial scheme for
1893 heretofore outlined was agreed upon.
This plan does not contemplate any change
in the aggregate OF the State tax rate,
which in III cents on the 500. This tax
will be levied AS heretofore for the follow
ing purposes:
Public schools . . . . . . . lO9 cents
Puhllc debt . . . . . . 81 cents
Free books = GEMS
Total :. .. lIT cents
The treasury is prepared to pay off all
OF the three million defense loan maturing
January /, 1899, except 100000, which
will be refunded. 1t is proposed to issue
new loan to cover this item, as well as to
raise money for the armory in Baltimore,
for the completion Of the penitentiary, for
the House OF Correction and for buildings
at Springfield Hospital for the Insane
NEW LOANS AND DEBT
The blanket loan will, therefore, include
the following items:
Defense redemption . $500, 600
fenltehliary 500 QUO
Armory 500 GOO
Springfield Hospital 22O, 900
House OF Correction 1000

is SO, 23i, 9S6. This i. offset by productive
investments and sinking funds, aggrsgating

The treasury, while paying off 81, 300 900
of the defense loan, will borrow on its
credit 81, 700, 900 for the purposes indicated
above. The net result of this operation
will be to wipe out $500, 900 Of the public
debt, but in order to do this it has been
necessary to sell city bonds and other pro-
ductive investments, so that while the

vision for the penitentiary, which is that
the $500, 900 now loaned shall be final, and
that the plans for completing the building

A condition is appended, too, to the

BACON PLACE GATES
 FINALLY TORN DOWN
THE ALLEY IS NOW AN OPEN
 STREET.
Secretary Kane Still Continues Ar resting the Inmates of the Houses
 and the Property

Acting on instructions from Mayor Phelan, Superintendent of Streets Am prose yesterday morning sent his depu- ties to Bacon place to remove the iron gates which have shut the alley from the view of people passing along the street.
 The process of tearing down the gates began shortly after 10 o'clock in the morn ing and a large crowd of people collected to see the work done The property own CTS formally objected to the destruction of their property, but the deputies con- tinued the work and the gates were re- moved without any trouble.
 A number of the warrants issued Wednesday were served yesterday morn ing on the women who could not be found the night before. Last night Secretary Kane served twenty-three warrants on the inmates of the cribs, who were charged with keeping houses of ill-repute. The two property owners were again ar rested for letting houses for immoral pur- poses.
 Timothy J. Crowley, on behalf of the property owners who were anxious that the gates should remain, in order that the iniquities within might be hidden from prying eyes, appeared before Acting Pre- siding Judge Daingerfield yesterday and made application for writ of injunction prohibiting the tearing down of the gate Judge Daingerfield refused to issue the injunction and application, was made to Judge Troutt, with like result.

E., just before the. Miowera sailed, it was moved that the San Francisco and Vancouver mall services be continued for another year from April i next. It was then an nounced that the Government had re- ceived communication from the New South Wales authorities stating that. that colony would renew the San Fran cisco service contract, but not the Van couver. MT, Ward made long speech in favor of the San Francisco contract, claiming thatfit was purely matter or business, and that sentiment should not be permitted to interfere.
 The New South Wales authorities, he said, were not likely to renew the V an couver contracts, as they believed that a very much better service could De brought into operation in a very snort time across the Pacific. San Franclsco, knowing this was demanded would put on a faster line Of steamships than. the Canadians could.
 A select committee of the House has reported in favor of faster steamships being employed in the San Francisco service The committee thought It doubtful whether the Vancouver ser vice could be long continued, and in the event of its cessation fast fortnlghtly San Francisco service should be sub- stituted and also subsidized.

FOR CHINESE
 IN THE PHILIPPINES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Wash ington Star prints this afternoon an in- terview with Wu Ting Fang, the Chi nese Minister. concerning the probabil- ity of the enforcement of the Chinese exclusion law in the Philippines when the islands shall come under the con- trol of the United States.
 Wu expresses satisfaction at the con- clusion of the peace negotiations, as peace between the United States and Spain is thereby insured. He depre- cates war in all its phases and believes that all international differences should be submitted to an arbitrage tribunal for settlement. Regarding the applica- tion of the Chinese exclusion law to the Philippines Wu said:
 T wish to appeal to the American people not to enforce the Chinese ex- clusion law in those islands By do- ing so great injustice will be done my countrymen and the many opportuni- ties of a prosperous and happy life will be denied them. There are a great many Chinese in the Philippines and all Of them are credit to the archi- pelago. The Chinese population there is entirely different from that in your western countries In the Philippines my countrymen are engaged in every walk of life. There are innumerable artisans, farmers, storekeepers, mer- chants, traders, and, in fact business men of every legitimate character"

CRISIS NEAR IN
 THE PHILIPPINES
Aguinaldo Will Soon Be Ordered to Disband the Insurgent
 Army

AIuY.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: In the treaty of peace now be- ing negotiated in Paris a provision will be included providing for the release of the political Cuban and Philippine pris- oners held by Spain in exchange for the release of the Spanish prisoners held by the insurgents of the Philip pines.
 This provision will require the United States immediately upon ratification of the convention to compel the insurgents to surrender the spanish soldiers and priests whom they hold as prisoners.
 Just what action Aguinaldo and his followers will take upon such a demand Spain, of course, has nothing to do with, but the authorities are confident there will be no trouble in obtaining compliance.
 Some days ago General Otis cabled to the War Department indicating that the annexation of the Philippine archi- pelago would be distasteful to Aguin- aldo and the men under his command, but the authorities do not believe that he will revolt against American do- minion.
 Just as soon as the treaty is signed General Otis will be directed to bring about the disbandment of the insur- gents, and here will come the trouble. if it comes at all. Aguinaldo will be in- formed that the Philippines are the property of the United States and that he must give up his dreams of an inde- pendent republic, and it is expected that, appreciating the strength and re- sources of the American Government, he will determine to submit to the in- .evitable In disbanding his army the

But the Proposition Was Not Favor ably Received at Washington Because of Its Harsh

Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON Dec. 1.-The Chi nese Government. through its Minister, Wu Ting Fang, has broached to the au- thorities here the willingness of China to negotiate an extradition treaty, ap plicable to all criminals, but intended in particular to reach the high binders.
 It was represented to the officials here that, as the highbinders had proved such difficult class for the To- cal police authorities in this country to deal with, China would assume the burden of detection and punishment if an extradition treaty could be nego- tiated. The purpose was to have China assume all the cost of apprehending and transporting the guilty parties This could be done through the ma- chinery of the Chinese Consular sery- ice at San Francisco and other Vest ern points, which, being conducted by native Chinese, was better able to know the ramifcations of an organiza- tion made up entirely of Chinese. By doing this China felt that she would rid this country of those responsible for much of the ill-feeling toward the Chi nese as a class
 While willing to get rid of Chinese highbinders and all other Chinese criminals, the authorities here foresaW
 
 treaty. The method of trial and pun ishment in China are very summary The proposal, therefore, was open to the objection that this country was sur rendering persons domiciled within it's borders to a foreign country for harsh and unusual prosecution and punish ment. Little doubt was entertained here that if China once secured possess sion of the highbinders short work would be made of them owing to the prejudice they have brought upon the Government. China was ready to over- come this objection as far as possible by providing for full hearing or trial in this country before the parties were turned over to the Chinese officials for deportation home.
 This, however, did not fully meet the legal objections against the proposi- tion. Moreover. 1t was believed the Senate, to which such a treaty would have to be referred for ratification, would not act fayorably upon it and that it would stir up animosities and agitations on the Chinese question in general rather than accomplish any special good in the direction desired.

FRESNO, Dec. 1.-When the State Fruit Growers Convention was called to order this morning the first matter to come up was the consideration of the resolutions introduced the preceding day in reference to the California Exchange and the free public market of San Fran cisco It was proposed to reorganize the exchange which was formed about five years ago for the purpose of giving out information about the fruit market. The exchange has since lapsed into innocuous desuetude, and it is the intention to re- vive it and place it in charge of the movement for free public market on the San Francisco water front.

 CreditorS

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 1.-It is stated here tonight that Grant G. Gillett, the Kansas cattle man whose financial col lapse last week revealed the fact that in less than three years he had piled up an indebtedness of more than S1,5OO GOO, is under arrest somewhere in the South west.
