A princely donation of $1,000 was re-

PARIS, June 15.-There is still some
doubt whether M. Poincare will succeed
in forming a ministry. He wishes MN
Kibot and Barthou to Join him, but the
Radicals object to their presence In the
cabinet. 1t is understood that NJ Del
casse will remain at the foreign office.
Private conversation of M. krantz, min
lister of war in the retiring cabinet, has
been published here, which represents
him as still believing that Deyfus is
guilty. If this be the case he is not likely
to appear in the new ministry.

LEBANON, Mo-, June 15.-Congressman
Richard Parks Bland died at his home
near Lebanon at 4:30 a M, peacefully,
and without apparent suffering.
Mr.. Bland returned home when con-
gress adjourned in March and soon suf-
fered relapse from an attack of la
grippe. For more than two months he
had been confined to his home, and
health gradually declined. He thought
he would not survive the attack from
the first and showed his thorough knowl-
edge of his condition. On the Sd of this
month Mr.. Bland suddenly grew worse
and his sons, who were in school, Were
summoned home and for the first time,
the public was informed of his critical
condition. From time to time since then
the patient showed some signs of improve
ment, but the physicians in charge would
offer very little hope to his family and
friends. He continued to lose his vigor
end grew weaker. On Sunday and Mon
day he presented an improved condition
and his family took new hope, and late
Monday afternoon there were many ex-
pressions that Bland was getting better.
About 10 o'clock Tuesday night, however,
he fell asleep and continued in that con-
dition until death relieved him today.
His family is prostrated with grief and
all the community is bereaved.
The funeral will take place at Lebanon

MANILA, June 15.-Capt. Cable, of
Gen. Wheaton's staff, with three COM
panies of the Twenty-first. regiment, re-
connoitered in the direction of linus
The rebels, who were apparently expect-
ing an attack, retired, leaving behind
them twenty Spanish prisoners, who
joined the Americans. The rebels have
probably gone to the mountains along the
lake.
According to native stories the rebels
carried 10 dead and 300 wounded through
Bacoor after the recent t1battie. The ma

in plain clothes among them. The whole

Many people still refuse to credit the

are most circumstantial, and from good
sources, and rumors of assassinations
and disasters from the rebel camp are.
so frequently printed in the local papers,
that they have come to be regarded with
Indifference. The latest is that the gov
ernOr of Cebu has been killed by natives
because of his friendship to Americans.
A prominent commercial man, with eX-
ceptional means Of learning of the Fill
pinos' movements, claims to know Gen.
Luna is still alive, adding that If he is
dead, and If his death occurred a month
ago, people would have expected a COL
lapse of the revolution to follow.
The failure of the F'ilipinos to follow up
the peace negotiations strengthens the
impression that their overtures were
merely to gain time, and in order to lure
the Americans to show their hands.
The Independence, a revolutionary or
gan. of May 20, a copy of which has just
been obtained, prints an interview with
Gen. Luna, showing the arguments he
used to keep up the spirits of his follow
ers. He represents the Filipino cause as
prospecting, because the Americans have
gained only a hundredth part of Luzon
by hard fighting," and says the women
and children tilling the fields within the
American lines give the proceeds of their
work to support the Filipino army. He
is said to have further remarked:
More Americans will be killed by am
buscades, surprises and disease than In
battles. I detest war, but we cannot ac-
cept peace at any price, but independ-

own independence, and in their hearts
