1t has. 1 hear. definitely been decided that
the Cernuschi museum Is to be opened next
October. This magnificent collection of ORR
entail objects of art. bequeathed to the city
of Paris by the late NJ. Henri Cernuschi. is
housed in the splendid mansion at the cor
ner OF the Avenue Velasquez and the Pare
Monceau, which the donor had specially
constructed for himself, and which the city
of Paris also inherits. The history of the
collection is curious. II. Cernuschi, in spite
Of his wealth. was a very advanced Radi-
cal: indeed, he was mixed up in the Conn
mune, and 1t was the shock of seeing one
of his best friends executed by the Yer
sailles troops in ISL that gave him a dis
gust for Europe and determined him to
undertake voyage around the world He
chose as his companion NJ. Theodore Duret
who guided him among the marvellous arr
treasures of China and Japan, and suggest
ed to him the idea of forming q collection
worthy of being subsequently bequeathed
to France.
VI. Cernuschi was not at that time a
Frenchman Che was born in Italy, but he
subsequently became naturalized. His vast
fortune enabled him to purchase whatever
struck him as beautiful or curious. and at
the end of his peregrinations he had be-
come possessed of from 5000 to 5000 OBJ
jects of Chinese and japanese art which
constitute one of the most valuable and

The trouble began with the attempt of
the British military authorities to install
Christian officials. They had appointed a
council of internal control to administer
the tithe revenues. and detachment of
soldiers was stationed outside the office as
a precaution.
A crowd of unarmed Mussuimans who had
been demonstrating against the Christians
attempted to force an entrance into the
Office.

several. The MusJulmans ran for their

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Acting Secre-

All of these vessels have been sent else

station and the two big monitors to REIN

that, with the opportunity now opening.
the navy department will replace these ves-

safe nor prudent at this time to withdraw
the Monterey and the Monadnock from the
Aslatic station. The case is different how
ever, with the Oregon. Her withdrawal
and return to the Pacific coast would leave
several. effective ironclads on the Atlantic
station and. in view of the approaching
completion of the powerful battleships

that even another ironclad may be spared

1t is Alleged That the Deceased MILL
fonaire Was Insane in 1882
and Ever After.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-The expected
contest of the will OF Ado!ph Sutro was filed
to-day. Edgar L. Sutro. one of the six
children, represents the family in an en-
deavor to have the will set aside The most
important allegation in the petition is to the
effect that the deceased millionaire was of
unsound mind at the time of the execution
OF his Will, May 22. 1882. and SO remained
to the day of his death.
The contestant charges that Sutro died
intestate; that the will was neither written.
dated nor signed by the hand of Sutro: that
the document was not witnessed by the
parties whose names 'ara subscribed there
to; that the will. after its alleged execution
bN Sutro, was revoked.
On these grounds the petitioner asks that

was recently called upon to investigate re-
ports that the Spanish prisoners taken by
the insurgents in the Philippines were sub
jected to cruel treatment. a cable message
was received from Admiral Dewey to-day
saying that the story probably originated
from the fact that insurgents were unable
to meet the wants of the sick Spanish pris-

medical supplies. He said he had been un-
able to find any proof of acts of cruelty
on the part of the insurgents.
