The arrangement Of the hall is
directed to the comfort OF the visitors
as well as to the desire for beauty and
artistic effects. A dozen pretty booths

in most tempting manner. In the
center Of the hall the floral booth
stands, attractive in outline and gor-
geous in its wealth of floral loveliness.
Sweets find a place on the stand with
the flowers, and the same pretty girls
who so deftly dispose of fragrant bios

ALGER CoNFEEs WITH BROOKE.
Desire Expressed at Havana to Know
What Is the Presidents Policy.

Havana. March 2S.-Secretary Alger
conferred with the American generals
at Governor General Brooke's head
quarters yesterday morning. The con-
ference lasted three hours. and after
lunch the secretary drove with General
Brooke to Camp Quemados, where he
reviewed the Seventh army corps. Last
evening he was present at a reception
given in his honor al the residence of
the governor general AT the morning
conference, which was of a somewhat
rambling character. some of the sub
jects discussed We're the diminishing of
destitution. the slow revival of agricul-
turaI life. the peace that prevails in all
the provinces, the excellent health OF
the United States forces and the need
lessness of a large body of troops to
maintain the existing order.
Two of the department commanders
said il would materially aid their labors
if they knew President McKinley's ex-
act policy with respect to oCuba-whether
the American occupation was to be lons
or short. Both described themselves as
working a little in the dark with respect
q the ultimate purposes of the United
States government. This uncertainty
TO the length of the occupation they
declared tended to promote restlessness
among the Cubans. These observations,
winch were developed IN n converse ton
al way, did not elicit from the secretary
Of war any expression of opinion as to
Washington's policy other than that the
work ahead was to restore civil control
and 10 modify the Spanish system wher-
ever the governor general found it de-
fective.
The bandits near Gunajay, province of
Iinar del Rio. are still active. and Cen
eraI Diaz, the Cuban commander in that
district. has published a proclamation
10 the Sixth army corps asking the
troops to make every effort to effect ii
speedy termination of the disorder in
that province and it is said the ban
dts will be energetically pursued. The
bandit leader was formerly, during the
war the guide of Colonel Pedro del
GadO. of the Cuban army.
Santiago, March 2s.-Yesterday the
gen d'armerie captured three more of

Grating in the San Luis district, and the

mer insurgent officers, all of whom,
however. assert their innocence.

MUCH INTEREST AT WASHINGTON.
Oficials There Follow the Movement of
the Army In the Philippines

washington, March 2S.-The third day
of the fighting north of Manila brought
little of decisive character from which
war department officials could judge
what the final outcome OF this move
rnent would be. In all official quarters
the most intense interest prevailed.
Early in the day General Otis cabled
the war department a brief but compre-
hensive dispatch summing up the situa-
ton 1t disclosed that severe fighting
was going on yesterday with our forces
advanced as far north as Marilao,
while the insurgents were being driven
back with considerable slaughter. This
and the press dispatches satisfied the of
ficials that the strategic movement of
entrapping the insurgents between our
lines had not proved as successful a de-
signed. and that the move had now
shifted to u retreat by Aguinaldo's
forces and pursuit by our troops.
General Otis dispatch, although re-
ceived early yesterday. was sent last
evening, Manila time, and summed ulI
the work Of the three days. That the
fighting would proceed into the fourth
day was shown by his closing sentence:
THE column will press on in the morn
ing" This refers to today. The engage
ment has now shaped itself so that it is
looked upon as more of a chase than the

Malolos is the insurgent capital IL
represents more 10 the insurgents than
any other place in the Philippines and
lit:Ie doubt is entertained that they will

tics of AguinalGo are taking him grad
ually beyond the range OF Dewey guns.
While the insurgents were at Malabon
on Saturday they were within a mile OF
the water front and easily within range
Of the feet. But as they have moved
northward they have gradually moved
away from the bay. Malolos is about
seven miles back from the bay. although
there are shallow estuaries which would
permit light draft boats TO get within
q mile or two.

ROOSEVELT ON STATE TAXATION.
Advocates the Taxing of Corporations at
Higher Rates Than Others.

Albany. y. Y. March Ex-Governor
Roosevelt last night sent to the legis-
lature a message recommending the
appointment of a joint legislative COM
mittee to investigate the subject of tax
ing public franchises held by corpora
tions and to report to the next legisia-
ture- The governor says in part: ''At
present the farmers, the market garden
ers and the mechanics and tradesme6 4
having small holdings are paying an
improper and excessive proportion of
the general taxes. There is evident in
justice in the light taxation of corpora
tions. I have not the slightest sympathy
with the outcry against corporations as
such or against prosperous men OF busi-
ness.

contend for proceeding with the pur-
chase of Detroit's street railways under
the act passed last week by the legis-
Iature. and those who oppose action by
the city council under that act, at least
until such action be further authorized
by a vote of the citizens. The audience
composed largely of workingmen, seemed
in favor of municipal ownership and
was not disposed TO even listen to the
opposition. but the result of vote, ac-
Cording TO the chairman's decision vas

Governor Pingree amid great applause
explained his reasons for pushing the
measure. AS to the referendum feature
which had been elimiuated by the legis-
Iature he said that while he favored
having the people vote upon principles
he did not favor their voting upon mat
