UNITED FOR ARBITRATION.
American. British and Russian Pro
 nasaIn fo Hs. Inined.

American. British and Russian Pro-
 possls to Re Joined. The Hague, May 31.-Sir Julian Pauncefote, the chairman of the British delegation to the peace conference, had a long interview yesterday with NIT. Seth Low and Mir. Frederick Holls of the American delegation on the subject of the American arbitration scheme, which Is not yet ready.
 Today Sir Julian Pauncefote will form ally present to the select committee the British proposal for an international per manent tribunal. consisting of two jurists representing each contracting state, with a permanent bureau. The tribunal is to meet as soon as any discussion arises at the request of one or more of the parties thereto. The tribunal is to be establish ed at The Hague or Bern and the ex- penditure involved to be equally divided among the contracting parties.
 As a result of the conference between Sir Julian Pauncefote and Messrs, Low and Holls the proposition for an arbitra- ton tribunal made by Sir Julian will be supported by the American delegates. Thus when the scheme is complete it will be a combination of the Russian, British and American proposals-the Russian plan for mediation, the British plan for a permanent tribunal and the American provisions covering the whole field of arbitration.

CUBAN ROLLS PADDED.
Work of Payment Begsn at Santiago
 Ge las Vegas.

Havana, May 31.-Lieutenant Colonel George M. Randall of the Eighth United States infantry, accompanied by Pay master Moses, his clerks, a doctor and . military escort, with nearly S200, 900, left yesterday morning by special train for Santiago de las Vegas, but owing to vari- ous delays the payment did not begin un- til late in the afternoon.
 Many of the applicants, of whom there was large number. were without guns. A large proportion were from Marianne. from which point they were prevented from coming Monday to Havana. One man who had Mauser begged a ride on the special train carrying the pay car and was the first man to be paid. Not a sim gle officer would come forward to identi- fy an applicant, fact causing consider able annoyance and increasing the delay.
 That the rolls are padde badly be- comes more and more evident each day, and Colonel Randall says that from what he can learn every man, dead or alive, who ever served in the ranks of the in surgsnts appears on the lists. 1t is gem orally believed by the officials making the disbursement that the rolls were padded in the expectation that the company com manders would have a personal hand in making payment One man paid yester- day said he was glad the Americans were distributing the funds themselves, as otherwise he would not have received more than S25. The number paid yester- day was 45.

CORNELL WINS.
Beats Pennsylvania by a Half Length
 In the Annual Boat Race.

In the Annual Boat Race.
 Ithaca, N. r.. May 31.-The Cornell University of Pennsylvania boat race. which was postponed from the scheduled time of 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, was finally rowed at 7:30, the lake. which had been exceptionally rough all day, having finally quieted down. Penn sylyania chose the inside course.
 The Pennsylvanians had a slight ad- vantage in catching the water first and gained nearly third of length after a dozen sharpestrokes. Cornell did not att tempt to spurt, but rowed a 32 stroke. Pennsylvania had started with 34, and from that time increased it to 36. Cor nell began to gain at the quarter mile, and at the mile had more than made up the loss at the beginning. Pennsylvania had lost about half length at the mile and a quarter and began to put effort into the work. Cornelfs rowing did not vary, and, although Pennsylvania push ed the nose of her shell nearly even with the Ithacans at the mile and half, Cor nell did not let out until about 300 yards of the finish. The men in the Cornell boat then rowed B stroke, while Pennsylvania went up to 37. The Itha- cans gained slightly, and at the end won by fully half a length in II minutes 26l2 seconds. Pennsylvania's time was II minutes 2S seconds.
 Both crews finished strong and pulled to the boathouse in good form.

Admiral Dewey. Health.

Hongkong, May 31.-Since his arrival here on May g on board his flagship, the United States cruiser Olympia, Admiral Dewey has improved in health, but he still refuses all invitations of a social nature. The admiral has also relinquish- ed all official duty on board the Olympia. The date of his departure for home is still uncertain, his intention being to re- main here until he has thoroughly recu- perated. The air of the high ground here is much cooler than it will be found be- tween Hongkong and the Mediterranean sea. The programme for the Olympia's $ voyage to the United States has not been definitely decided upon. It has been de termined, however, to make stop at the Piraeus. from which port Admiral Dew 2. viii go to Athens 10 pay ms respects e Hi.~ Genr-@ of Greece

Paris Calm With Revision of Drey-
 fus Case Certain.
 Paris, May 31.-The dignified calm, al most approaching to reverence, with which the Parisian public accepts the convincing conclusions of Ballot-Beau- pre's report and tacitly admits in doing so that yesterdays events at the court of cessation mean the recall to France and the retrial of Dreyfus marks the com plete revulsion of popular sentiment in this country since the days of the Zola trial. Even Deroulede's trial and his magnificent plea for a plebiscitary re public, which only a short time ago would have thrown Paris into uproar and con- fusion, is reduced to insignificance by the solemnity of what took place yesterday at the court of cessation.
 Crowds on the boulevards last night seemed as if they were awakening from some hypnotic trance and asked them. selves how could they have been victim. ized by such an apparently stupendous error.
 Attempts made by Nationalists and other professional agitators to transform Marchand into another Boulanger have failed, and the welcome to that officer and explorer cannot now be worked up into an antirepublican demonstration.

"The nation that cherishes the graves of its soldiers and assemblies to honor them," be said, lis the patton that preserves and enlarges national life. The monuments to our dead show no trailing ranks of sad and weary captiyes, follow ing their conquerors, but display broken manacles from the hands and feet of emancipated blacks. The result of that emancipation was seen at Santiago, where the black troops and the men from Texas vied with each other to be first to leap upon the enemy's breastworks."

Think They Have Fine Opportunities In the Philippines-Otfs Promises Travel Pay to All Who Remain. Some Volunteer. Are Re-enIisting. Washington, May 31.-Information has been received here that satisfactory re suits have attended the movement among members of the volunteer regiments in Manila for the establishment of large American colony in the Philippines. Four thousand of the volunteers now in the islands are reported to have signed a petition to the president and secretary of war praying that they receive their dis charges in Manila instead of at the places of enlistment and that they be allowed travel pay to the place of en- listment. It was explained that they be- lieyed the Philippine Islands offered rare opportunities for industrious and en- terprising Americans to make for them selves homes" and that they desired to remain flor the purpose of taking part in the development of the mining, agri- cultural and industrial resources of the islands,"
 When the petition was brought to the attention of the war department, instaic- tions were cabled to General Otis, and he issued circular, just received by the department, in which he said:
 Inducements to Remain.
 ''When volunteer organizations are or dered home for muster out, individual members who wish to remain ill the Philippine Islands whose services have been honest and faithful will be discharg- ed by the department commander. Sol diers upon being so discharged will be entitled to travel allowances from the stations of their organizations to places of enlistment, for land travel distance on- ly, with the privilege of free transporta- ton on government transport within one year after the date of their discharge.
 Members of the regular or volunteer service discharged under the provision of this order who immediately re-enlist in the regular army will be entitled to travel allowances for the total distance, land and sea. from place of discharge to place of enlistment"
 General Otis has not yet officially ad- yised the department of the number of volunteers who have re-enlisted either in the regular army or for six months, but it is reported that only enough men have been obtained to form two full regiments.
