WEDNESDAY. MARCH l6. 1895
The News Of the Day.

Rather my Administration should be
an ignominious failure than that il should
be responsible for an unholy war; Thus
President Mckinley is quoted in the coll
umas of the Heraldo, of New York, organ
OF the Administration and the bond deal.
Therefore. the pioUs platitude deserves
some credence as having really emanated
from the Presidential lips. Otherwise we
should not believe that he ever uttered
those words of peace and religious fervor.
They are too inconsistent with antece-
dent circumstances and conduct; too
much in sinister contrast with Mr.. Nc
kinleys course a year ago. when he did
not hesitate TO take the risk Of .'ignomin-
ious failure" in order to lend the Gov
ernments secret service its revenue ma
rine fleet and its Navy to Spain, and thus
10 Join that diabolical power in the prose-
cUtion Of an "unholy war against pris-
oners, unprotected American citizens,
nou-combatants. and women and children
in cuba. II does not lie I'm the mouth Of
the President 10 talk about the unhOl-
ness of a determination TO punish the
miscreant power which deliberately plan
ned and officially perpetrated the de-
struction of the Maine, and the massacre
Of her crew. The American people, with
out distinction of party, would regard it
as offensive and cowaTdly hypocrisy to
appeal to the angel OF peace, always in
the interests of Spain and the Spanish
Cuban bond jobbers, and never think OF
invoking the God Of Justice in behalf Of
the unnumbered thousands Of victims, dy
ing today in cuba from the fiendsh cru
city and utter inhumanity Of their tor
turers and murderers. Mr.. Mckinley
ought 10 reflect that much Of the misery,
suffering. outrage and butchery in the
devastated island lies al his own door.
Most Of it would have been prevented
and impossible if he had recognized Gu
ban beligerency shortly after his acces-
sion to the Presidency. He must know
this. and he is to be congratulated that
his conscience is easy enough on the sub
ject TO permit of his ever sleeping.

MILLIONS INVOLVED.
Insurance Companies May Revert TO
the Assessment Plan.

New York, March 16.-Justice Daily. in
the supreme court, reserved decision yes
terday upon a demurrer interposed TO the
complaint in an action brought by Emil
Greet, a policy-holder in the Equitable
Life Assurance Society. To compel the So
ciety to pay him a balance Of $.0SL3S,
which he claims is due from the surplus
upon fifteen-year policy which matured
In April 1897.
II Greet wins the suit the Equitable
Society will be forced to distribute its
surplus fund of $43, Goa. 600 and ethsr COM
panies will follow suit
Greet received as a dividend from the
surplus fund of the society the sum OF
81 S32 He claims that he should have
received $l1,O19.3S.
William Il. Hornblower, representing
the society. said that several actions in
equity Of this nature had been brought
but that this was the first action at law.
In the equity suits the court Of appeals
had decided that policy-holder had no
right to bring an action against an in
surance company for an accounting; that
the directors had the right to set aside
such surplus as they deemed necessary,
and that suits of such character could
only be brought by the attorney general.
ID. W. Richards. for the laintiff, said
that the charter of the society provided
that the net surplus was TO be divided
between the policy-holders. and that for
fifteen years the plaintiff had paid his
share of the accommodating surplus fund
in premiums, and was entitled to his
share Of il.
Mr. Hornblower said that II Greefs
suit was successful insurance companies
would be obliged 10. so back to the old
assessment plan.

THE PHILIPPINE REBELLION.
Natives Massacre the Spanish at a

Manila (via Hong Kong). March 16.-
The Philippine rebels surrounded the ca
BILE station at Bolinao on March T. Forty
three Spanish soldiers were killed. A
steamer sent in haste to re-enforce the
garrison was obliged TO return, owing TO
the renewal of the fusillade.
-Four priests and the garrisons of the
neighboring towns were massacred. Boil
mao was subsequently relieved by General
Monet and 1,000 men. -.
They travelled overland and fought five
engagements. The insurgents loss was
heavy. One Spanish lieutenant and one
soldier were killed.
Three gunboats and one steamer left
Manila March 10 for Bolinao with troops
and artillery. European cable operators
are safe.
The province of Tarlac, Pangasinat and
Nandales are in open rebellion. 1t is
feared others will follow. 1t is reported
that Aguinaldo and other rebel leaders
landed from Hong Kong.
Six thousand troops and artillery have
been sent to the provinces within the
last three days. AT Manila there are few
troops left. The situation throughout is

Joseph wehinger Puts a Bullet in
His Brain.

Joseph Wehinger Puts a Bullet in
His Brain.
New York. March 16.-Because of his
hopeless love for Frieda Schwertzer,
Joseph Wehinger shot himself in the
head yesterday morning in Central Park.
He was found by officer Mcguire, of the
park squad, who. while near the Ram
BILE, heard two pistol shots. An ambu-
lance was sent for, and he was removed
to the Presbyterian Hospital, where he
died in an hour and a half.
He was apparently about forty years
old. and was fairly well dressed. He
was an employe at a bakery at 1407
Third Avenue. Here also worked the
little German girl. for love of whom he
gave up his life. Frieda is a pretty
blonde girl The elderly man was much
smtten with her, and paid her great
deal of attention, for which he was
greatly joked.
wehinger asked Frieda to marry him
yesterday morning, and she laughingly
replied:
"What do you think I'd do with you?"
This almost broke the fellows heart,
and he pulled a revolver and told her
that he would be dead in an hour. This
also amused the light-hearted girl who
said:
Look out, Joe, or you might shoot
yourself" 30 -'-,,-.--- ST..
Wehinger then went to his house, 2iS
East Eightieth Street, where he lived
with his brother. He did not say any
thing of his intention to kill himself
He must then have gone straight to the
place where he'met' his death, for he
left the girl at II O'Clock, and was found
by the officer shortly after that.

The greatest divergence Of opinion ap-
pears to exist today as TO whether the
scheme of the bond sharks, to secure an
early adjournment Of Congress without
action with regard to Cuba or the
Maine report, viii succeed or not. Some
Of our New York contemporaries. usu-
ally well informed as to inside matters
on Capitol Hill, are confident that there
is enough American manhood in tho
Senate and House to defeat the plot
But the Heraldo seems TO feel sure that
ii will succeed; and that then the in
ternational syndicate purchase scheme
will be carried TO a golden conclusion.
1t assumes to speak with authority on
the question Of the Presidents real at
titude in the premises He is repre-
sented as cheerfully confident that with
Congress off his hands," pressure from
England and the money centers Of Eu-
rope can be brought 10 bear upon the
Sagasta government, sufficient to in
duce Spain TO relnquish its alleged but
lost sovereignty over Cuba. upon the
guarantee Of the Spanish-Cuban bonds
ly the international syndicate, and the
assumption Of that debt by the unhappy
people Of Cuba. If his New York or
gan is correct in its assumptions, the
concealed reason why Congress must be
gotten rid of becomes disgracefulIy plain.
Every intelligent person knows that
such a set cement would be Indignantly
rejected by the Cuban government, its
army ana whole citizenship. But, with
Congress out of the way, the Admins
tration would be in a position COM
pletely TO blockade the island. prevent
any assistance or supplies from reach

admission. Presumably, that would be
~alled a holy war" because undertaken
for the purpose of loading an unfortu-
nate little state with a debt of $3.50 000-
OOO of which sum $500, 600 OOO would be the
modest plunder of the international syn
dicate. This is the eventuality against
which it is the solemn duty of the Amer
ican Congress to guard. To desert its
post while such a conspiracy against
honor and humanity is in the air. would
be indecent and treason to the people.

yesterday John Watts Kearney jr.. was
with is aunt. the Marquise de KERNEL, re-
joicing over his escape from the Brook
side Sanitarium, at Plainfeld. y. ].
The first idea of the young man when
he reached New York was to communi-
cate with his aunt. who had fought so
nobly for his freedom. He was afraid
TO visit her in her apartments, No. 142
East Eighteenth Street. so he sent "a
note TO her late Monday night telling
her OF his escape and asking when he
might see her. The Marquise was de-
lighted; her mission to America had
been served She answered Immediately,
naming friends house as the place;
the time 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
Shortly before this hour the Marquise
had occasion to leave her apartments.
Much to her surprise she met her nephew
on the street Mutual congratulations
and affectionate salutes followed and thS
nephew told his aunt how he escaped
from the sanitarium by the use of a
false KEY. Of his tramp across the coun-

The fact that the Cuban charge daft
faires was the guest of Vice President Ho-
bart al an official function. when the lat
ter entertained Prince Albert, of Belgium.
on behalf Of the nation, is treated in
many newspapers today as a quasi recog-
milton Of Cuban independence. As a mat
ter of fact it is so. according to diplo-
matte precedent and custom. and. strict
ly speaking. would justify the Spanish
minister in asking for his passports. He
also was invited. but declined to attend
on learning that Don Gonzalo de Quesada
was TO be of the party. There is little
doubt that Senior Polo will make some
representation on the subject and proba-
bly, demand an explanation. Foreign dip
lomats in Washington have taken the
matter seriously enough TO cable reports
to their respective governments. We are
not prepared to give it much weight. The
conventions Of diplomacy have never
bothered the present Administration to
any alarming extent. This was shown
when the Assistant Secretary of State
walked over to the Spanish legation to
wrangle with Dupuy de LONE about the
latter's insult to the chief of this nation
We are quite ready to believe that
If any trouble should be made concerning
the Quesada incident. our authorities will
declare. with much pathos. that the Ho-
bart dinner was nothing in the world but
a private, domestic, unofficial ham sand
wich and glass Of beer. Still, there is the
chance that the Vice Presidents action.
in entertaining the official representative
of the Republic of Cuba, may help to
bring the present crisis TO a climax of
some sort. Anything is possible in these
days. Events are sometimes too wild to
harness, and fate occasionally is strong

steal So, after ALL the force of fortui-
tous circumstances may yet bring us out

grace, and to the promotion of our Ma
