lucky law under which many negroes
in the past two years have been sold on
the block for q term of years, in pun
ishment for vagrancy. has been declar-
ed unconstitutional by Judge Scott, on

involuntary servitude except in pun
ishment of crime and because vagrancy
was not a crime but a misdemeanor.

DEWEY WANTS SHIPS.

Destruction of Foreign Property May Serve

The cablegram from Admiral Dewey
asking for the Oregon was received
with surprise by the officials here. No
one knew, or at least would admit that
he knew, the nature of the political
reasons which the admiral says demand
the immediate presence of the peerless
battleship. The cablegram was taken
to the cabinet board and fully discussed
there. The admiral, it is said possibly
feels the moral effect of the presence
of the big ship upon the insurgents
themselves, and particularly upon that
large element among the Filipinos that

Guilty from joining fortunes with Agui-
naldo, with whom their sympathies lie,
would be good. But there is an under
lying doubt whether or not the adj
miral may not be keenly sighting
gathering cloud in the east, and is
looking to the prevention of any pos
sible intervention or interference by
European powers in the struggle now
in progress in the neighborhood of
Manila.
1t is believed that in the big fires
much property of foreign residents and
! business concerns were destroyed.
That these fires were caused by the
| insurgents cannot be denied, and 1t
may be that some of the foreign naval
commanders in the east are disposed to
rise upon the pretext that their inter
ests demand protection which we can
not afford them, to make landing or
do something obnoxious to the United
States, and likely to encourage the
insurgents.
With such a strong naval force as
would be afforded by the reinforce
ment of Dewey's fleet by the Oregon,
there could not be any sound reason,
nor even plausible reason, for any
such action on the part of third
party.
The Oregon arrived at Honolulu on
the 5th inst Assuming that the battle
ship needed ten days repairs, she
should have started away from Homo
lulu on her long run to Manila on th'
18th inst. Allowing for detention OF
account of coaling at Guam or som'
, other point between Honolulu and Ma
Mia, it is estimated that the Oregon
would reach Manila about the 10th o
March.

ITO SEIZE PHILIPPINES
GERMANY. FRANCE AND RUSSIA
ARE PLOTTING.
Massing All Ships Possible in the Pacific
and Under Pretense of Restoring Order
WIN Attempt to Take Charge of
the Philippine Islands.

San Francisco, March 1.-The Even
ing Post publishes sensational article
giving what purports to be some of the
inside history of triple alliance which
it claims has been formed between
Germany, France and Russia for the
purpose of impeding the expansion
policy of the United States, but more
particularly to undermine the increas-
ing power of the United States in the
Philippines.
The Post claims it's informant has
just returned from Germany, where he
had entree into the highest diplomatic
circles, and he tells the following story:
Germany is planning a great coup
d'etat that not only means the acquisi-
tion of the Philippine islands by that
government, but the defeat of the
American policy of territorial expan-
sion. A German officer told me that
Russia and France had been drawn in to
a combination of the three powers, and
that Russia is getting all the ships pos
sible into the Pacific without exciting
attention; that Germany is negotiating
with Argentine and Chile for the pur-
chase of three war vessels from each
government. These last vessels will be
manned by German officers and men,
and will rendezvous at the Marshall
islands.
when the proper time comes, the
combined fleets of Germany Russia and
France will take possession of the Phil
ippines under the pretext of restoring
order and protecting the citizens and
interests of those countries. The only
feature to operate against this plan, it
is argued, will be the action of Eng
land, and to combat this the attention
of Great Britain will be taken up else
where"

ALGER WILL RETIRE.

Resignation. Either Voluntary or by Re
quest. VIII be Handed In within
the Next Ten Days.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The days of
Secretary Alger in the war department
are numbered. The resignation of the
secretary of war, voluntary or by re-
quest of the president, will be handed
in within fortnight.
President Mckinley has practically
made up his mind as to Alger's sue
succor. These positive statements were
made by a man usually well Informed,
and were subsequently, admitted as
probability by member of the cabi-
net who has talked with the president
confidentially on the subject.
Secretary Alger is in Detroit. 1t is
believed he is making plans for re-
turning there and resuming his old
business engagements.
Secretary Algers contemplated jun
serted, is off. This is one of the rea-
sons for believing his resignation is to
take effect Immediately, Invitations
issued to members of the military
commission and their families still
hold good, but if the secretary does
not go himself it is possible the trip
will be abandoned entirely
In spite of statements to the con-
trary, it can be positively asserted
that the relations between the presi-
dent and Secretary Alger are decidedly
strained

CUBANS MADE HAPPY
ASSURED THAT THEY WILL BE
GRANTED INDEPENDENCE.
At a Banquet GIvon In Honor of General
Gomez, the American Omcers Explain
to the People Their Mis-
sion to Cuba

Havana, Feb. 2s.-The banquet at
the Tacon theater Saturday evening
proved a brilliant success Cubans
generally regard the occurrences at the
fuction as the most promising auguires
of Cuban independence since the peace
protocol was signed. The theater was
crowded to overlooking with spectators
and more than 200 covers were laid for
the banqueters.
Besides Governor General Brooke and
General Lee the company included Ma
jor General Ludlow, General Chaffee
the governor generals chief of staff,
the stats of Generals Lee and Ludlow
and other army and navy officers to-
gether with many prominent citizens
and Havana officials. General Andrade
sat on the right of General Gomez, and
Mayor Coste on his left.
The boxes were filled with people
representing Havanas best society.
Among the speakers were Senor Pc
dro Lorento, Colonel Carlos Garcia,
Cualbeerto Gomez and DIR. Lanuza, sec
retary of the department of justice.
The tendency of all speeches was to-
ward independence for Cuba, with
eulogy of General Gomez and asser-
tions that he must never more leave the
island.
The spectators called vociferously for
speech from Major General Lee. His
remarks and those of General Brooke
were translated for the benefit of the
assembly by Senor Pablo Deyernines'
secretary of the department of finance.
Both the American generals repeated
former statements of the military ad
ministration, chiefly along the line of
assurance that the United States in
tended to establish stable government
in the island and then to deliver it to
the Cubans themselves. The assurances
were vociferously aPplauded.
Colonel Garcia explained the disin-
terest in the position of American mil
itary officers in Cuba.
General Gomez himself did not speak,
owing to the hoarseness from which
ne is suffering

Mr.. German of Maryland insisted that
his amendment providing that the

eorporated in the measure. For sew

his insistence at least would throw the

SITUATION IN SAMOA.
Talk Now of Withdrawing All OmcIals of
Tripartite Powers.

Washington, Feb. 25.-No demand
has been made by the German govern
ment for the removal by the United
States of Chief Justice Chambers of
Samoa, nor is it true that either the
United States or the British govern
ment has demanded the relief of the
president of the municipal council, DIR.
Raffel, and the German consul at Apia,
Mr.. Rose.
The acts of these officials have been
the subject of criticism. and it has
gone to the point that a suggestion
has been made from each of the two
sides into which the issue has divided
the tripartite powers that the most
satisfactory and quickest way to re-
store harmonious relations and assure
peaceable administration in Samoa,
would be to withdraw all of these Off
cials and to pc out all old scores. At
the same time there have been no de-
mands made on either side; nothing but
intimations and suggestions. What
the result will be it is not possible to
foretell.
BY this time if the German promise
has been carried out, one of these
factors has been removed in the person
of DIR, Raffel, who has been recalled
to Germany.
