ranged With Them.
DARE NOT SEE AGUlNALDO
Nearly All Of the Members of the Fill
ipin0 Committee Have Been
Sentenced to Death

Manila, April 1S.-A number of promi-
nent and wealthy Filpinos are organiz-
ing a committee to take steps to bring
about if possible an understanding be-
tween the rebels and Americans. One
branch OF this committee intends to ask
the United States Philippine commission
to make statement as to what terms
would be offered the rebels if the latter
will surrender.
10 p. nl.--Another branch of the COM
mittee will approach Aguinaldo with
terms and will endeavor to persuade him
to accept them. 1t is considered doubtful,
however, if any members of the commit
tee will dare to personally confer with
the rebel leader. The committee includes
several persons recently condemned to
death by Agunaldo for petitioning him
to cease fighting.
Major General Otis has appointed a
board, headed by Colonel Crowder, to
deal with war claims. Many such claims
have been filed, aggregating millions of
dollars, purely as result of the 1loilo
fire. General Otis, who has hitherto
handled these claims, will be unable to
devote any time to them now.
General LaWtOn has ordered Colonel
Whaley, of the Washington regiment,
who is a lieutenant in the regular army,
to command General Kings brigade dur
ing the illness of the latter.

THE GUILTY MAN

Sam Francisco, April 1s-The govern
ment officers have not yet taken official
cognizance of the breach of discipline COM
mitted by the soldiers who burned Reh-
folds saloon near the Presidio on Sunday

assist the civil authorities in the effort to
locate and arrest the persons guilty of ar
son, when these men finally will be turn
ed over to the proper authorities to an
swer for their crime in the civil court.
Afterwards they will be ordered to ap-
pear before a military tribunal with the
assured prospect of dshonorable dis
charge and imprisonment. Adjutant Gen.
era Babcock says:
Every effort is being made to find the
men responsible for the riot and have
them severely punished For damage
done outside of the Preside or for the
commission of illegal acts off the reser-
walton, the participants in Sunday nights
disturbance are subject to the civil au-

DEFENSE HAS
AN INNING
Cross Examines Witne SSeS
In the Quay Case.
TO EXPLAIN THE LOAN
None of the Col0red Books We're Re-
ferred TO by the Attorneys--
What Was Brought Out.
TO EXPLAIN THE LOAN

Philadelphia, April 1S.-In the Quay
trial this morning Meyer Goldsmith, the
expert accountant, was on the witness
stand less than five minutes before being
turned over to the defense for cross-eX-
animal ton. In that time Mr.. Rothernel
brought out the fact that on August 8,
1896, $4,000 was deposited in the bank by
State Treasurer Haywood, making the
state deposit aggregate 100000. Two
days later a loan was made, to Richard
r. Quay on note endorsed by Senator
Quay. The witness said the books did
not show whether the loan was paid off or
not said the interest on the $780, 900 state
money deposited was paid to the state
treasurer.
The witness was cross examined by Mr.
Shields. He was questioned about his aX-
perieLce as an expert and upon what he
based his calculations of interest. His re-
plies were generally involved, but the
witness indicated he obtained the rate of
interest from current prices in the money
market and not as a result of guess.
He was asked to show where the evidence
appeared on the books that Quay owed $1S5,
1876 ON October 31st 1897 This necessitat-
ed going over each book and consumed
much tune.
The defense confined the witness to the
regular books of the bank and without ref
erence to the red book BLACK book
and blue book In pursuance of this
$57 1874 were the total loans charged
against Quay. This left a difference Of
$12S, $50 in the amount of $lS5, ,S55, testified
to by the witness yesterday as having
been loaned to Senator Quay during the
six months ending October 3lst, 1897 The
discrepancy; however, was accounted for
by the production of the "black book, >
showing purchases of Metropolitan and
Sugar stocks to the value of $12S,350.
Shields claimed the witness had no right
to charge these purchases of stock against
Quay, since they were carried by local
stock brokers on margin. The witness
was compelled to admit the truth of this
Shields brought from the witness the ad-
mission that the apparent loan of $51 900
should be reduced $14 $50 through closing
the deal of gas stock. Shields said
amounts aggregatng $15,5O0 charged to
Quay were obligations of other people.

A CONFERENCE
WITH FILIPINOS

New York, April 1S.-A dispatch to the
view with General Lagarda, he said that
a committee of % Filipinos had been APP
pointed to confer with the peace commits
sion for the following purposes: First,
to obtain as large autonomous rights for
the Filipino people as possible. Second,
to bring about peaceful relations between
the insurgents and the Americans. Third,
that the Americans and Filipinos only
shall occupy public offices. Arevalo, a
former aide to Asuinaldo. is now in
Manila. He said in an interview that if
the Americans send to Aguinaldo now he
thinks a peaceful solution of the present
troubles is probable. Influential Ameri-
cans think that the commission of rich
Flipinos is eager to protect property and
has little influence with the insurgents.

WILL GO TO THE
PACIFIC STATION

New York, April 1S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Orders
have been issued by Secretary Long to
the cruiser Marbehead to accompany the
Newark to the Pacific ocean as member
of Rear Admiral Kautz's command. 1t is
the understanding that the Texas will
be placed in such a position that she will
be readily available for duty in the Pa
citic if her services are required. Orders
to the Marblehead are not due to develop
ments in the Samoan situation. Naval
officials explain that the station covers
a large area and the vessels now attach
ed to it are inadequate to attend to the
many calls upon them. The German
squadron in Asiatic waters is not much
larger than the force which this govern
ment proposes to station on the Pacific
coast, while that under Admiral Dewey
is superior Orders have been given to
the gunboat Marietta to make a survey
of the mouth of the San Juan river and
the gulf of Para.

A GRAND SUCCESS.
The Closing Night Of Living Whist Draws .
Pactsd Nail.

The closing night of Living Whist
at City hall. drew an audience that
filled all the available seats and
trenched quite strongly upon the
standing room only" Everyone had a
most enjoyable evenings entertain
ment. On all sides were heard nothing
but praises-as sincere as they were
spontaneously the manner in which
every part of the programme was car
ried through. There was not a single
skip or berak anywhere. Everything
came to the joint" and passed off
smoothly and successfully. Much Won
dement, was expressed at the exceed
ingly large number of graceful dancers
in Augusta, and we doubt not that. to
MANY of the audience, the showing
made was little short of a revelation
1t seemed to those in attendance.
Wednesday evening. that the pro-
gramme as then carried out could not
possibly be improved upon, but it APP
peared to be the general verdict CT
those who were in attendance on both
occasions that the entertainments OF
last evening fairly surpassed it. To
Miss Harris is due no small amount of
praise to the wonderful thOroughness
with which she has carried through
this splendid entertainment, which
must always rank as one of the very
finest ever given in our city. We be-
lieve we voice the hearty sentiment of
Augusta people when we express the
hope that she may sometime come here
and repeat it. 1t is not necessary for
us To review the programme, which was
given in detail in our issue of yesterday
morning. but only to say that the man
ner in which it was carried through
last evening, left absolutely nothing to
be desired.
A large number of those prensent re
manned to participate in the grand
dance that followed the entertainment,
and every one who did so had thor
OughlY ENJOYABLE time.
