In The Far East.

MANILA, June 3.-Jose Beenvieia,
Filipino spy was taken into custody
while attempting to pass through the
American lines at Pasig. The prison
er was disguised as woman. Search
being made it was found that he had
accomplices in Manila, who have been
furnishing Filipino leaders with infor-
nation of American movements.
MANILA, June 5.-Gen. HALLS cam
paign against the insurgents under
Gen. Delpilar at North Laguna de Bay
continues vigorously today. The Amer
lean lines across Morong peninsular,
extending six miles from Morong on
the east to Antipolo and Tay Tay on
the west, began gradually closing in
this morning and the advance down
the peninsular was begun. Gen. Hall
hopes to bag the main body of the
enemy. The Americans began opera
tions Saturday morning with distin-
guished and heroic marches and bril-.
liant attacks. The plan of Gen. Hall
to drive the insurgents toward Laguna
de Bay was not carried out owing to
adverse conditions in the advance on
Antipolo. The troops had to swim I'M
fordable rivers and wade in swamps
to their waists under scorching sun.
Early in the afternoon before Gen.
Hall reached the valley of Antipolo
the rear of the insurgents at Tay Tay
and Cainta, seeing Gen. Hall could not
get into position in time made a com.
bined attack. Gen. Lawton ordered
Col. Wholley to advance and engage
the enemy moderately until Gen. Hall
could cooperate.
Wholley's advance on Cainta was
brilliant. The troops swept across four
miles of open country with the Twelfth
regulars on the left flank and the North
Dakotas stretched between Cainta and
the shore of Laguna de Bay The bat
terry, holding central position in the
North Dakota line, began the Smelling
OF the town at four mile range.
Meanwhile General Hall was coming
down the valley toward Tay Tay, only
few miles east of Cainta. He had
had running fight all day, the first
encounter being at Monte, in the San
Mateo foothills. The insurgents were
driven out and San Monte was sur
rounded on three sides by the Oregon
regiment. 1t was a sharp fight and
the Oregons lost three killed and six
wounded. General Hall entered Tay
Tay with little resistance, the insur-
gents fleeing to Morong ON the south
east. Shortly after he connected on
the shore with the North Dakotas com.
posing Wholley's right. Yesterday
General Hall occupied Antipolo and
Wholley's forces came through Cainta,
united with them and the combined
force advanced on Morong.
: During the night Lawton had
brought troops to Morong by water.
Those advanced and connected with
Halls troops forming a chain across
the peninsula. A few insurgents
slipped through the American lines
and escaped northward. The heat was
terrific and frequent showers caused
deadly humidity. The hospital boats
returning this morning brought two
hundred suffering from prostration.

field operations offers such insurmount.

Justice In France.

Revision of the Dreyfus case, and re-
hearing, mean acquittal for the VIC
tim of the conspiracy of villains who
were dominant at the French army
headquarters in the early nineties, for
those conspirators who have not con-
fessed their villainy by committing
suicide have made oral confession of
the whole black plot. Major Ester
hazy, an exile from France by reason
of his completely as a leading actor in
the dark drama, stung by the desertion
OF the army chiefs, his confederates,
formally confesses that he wrote the
bordereau which was attributed to
Dreyfus. "They will lie, as they know
how to lie," he declared, when asked
what the chiefs of the French general
staff would say to his confession, shut

they knew the whole thing and share
the responsibility with me, and will

another officer of the general staff ,
stepped in the crime, and who has dar-
ed to remain in Paris, has been arrest
ed and is now in prison. Poetic JUS
tice and righteous retribution are hay
ing their innings. The reputation of
generals, judges and ministers has been
ruined beyond redemption and France
has been barely saved from revolution
by reason of this conspiracy. The re-

The rowdy nobility of Paris organiz-
ed to insult and attack the plebean
President Loubet of the French Re-
public on Sunday. The President had
been invited to attend the race at
Auteuil. When he appeared there
were insulting cries, and. according to
the reports, scion of nobility as
saulted, or tried to assault, him with
a cane. The fact that the disturbance
emanated from "the select inclosure,"
the admission to which is one dollar in
the coin of America, and that the gen.
eral public was puzzled to know what
had happened, ia cited to show the linn
tied significance of the outbreak. The
noisy gang called the League of Pa
triots, associated for this occasion with
the gentlemen" of the Jeunesse Roy
aliste, had apparently arranged the
disturbance before hand. A touch of
local interest is given to the affair from
the circumstance that among the noble
rowdies arrested for participating in
the attack was Count Boni de Castel-
lane, known to fame as the husband of
Anna Gould, and even Anna is report
ed to have been with the royalist crowd
shouting "vive l'arme." The scum of
two orders of society seemed to have
conspired to insult the President and
disgrace France.

sons friends say that they are already
assured of more than that. The with
drawal of Mr.. Hopkins of Illinois, in
Colonel Henderson's favor, leaves Col.
ouel Henderson the only western can
didate, and gave his candidacy boom
that has already attracted promises of
support from other Sc ctions. The sup
porters of Representatives Sherman
and Payne, of New York, now the only
candidates against Colonel Henderson,
are working to bring about a with
drawal of one of them in favor of the
other. Mr.. Payne was in Washington
a day or two ago, on his way to Alaska
with a congressional party, but he de-
clined to discuss the speakership ques-
ton. The Chicago Record claims 102
votes already pledged to Henderson in
the caucus and the Press of New York
gives the Iowan 16 votes from the
Empire State. All the large western
states have declared for Henderson,
and Pennsylvania is in the list of prob
abilities.

There is naturally much comment in
official and diplomatic circles and else
where on the official announcement
that Germany has purchased from
Spain its remaining ISLAND possessions
in the Pacific, paying 100000 there
for. A member of the cabinet when
asked whether this government felt
any concern about the deal, replied:
mo; why should it2 We have acquir-
ed everything we want in that quar-
ter" The circumstance is now recall
ed that while the Paris peace confer
ence was in session the German news
papers known as government organs
teemed with editorials telling the
United States to be just and liberal to
its fallen foe, and pointing out the vir-
tue of magnanimity in a nation. 1t
was thought at the time that these ar
ticles were printed because OF the SYM
paihy of the German government for
Spain, instead of being inspired by the
selfish desire to keep the United States
from taking islands that Germany had
already bargained to buy, if she had
not already taken them.

appeal in his case is now pending In
the United States Circuit Court of APP
peals. Green was in business in
Wilkes Barre in a very modest way,
but about a year ago began to pur-
chase goods wherever he could get
them until he had obtained credit to
the extent of about $4,000.
Then he began to sell the goods for
whatever he could get secreted others
and when his creditors began to push
him he confessed judgment to friend
for more than enough to cover the
value of everything in stock.
The most of the goods were ordered
by mail, and that Is the reason Uncle
Sam is after the enterprising Mr..
Green. AS may be guessed after the
array of counsel is noticed the defend
ant is putting up a hard battle. The
government was still offering evidence
