trols the United States. You heard me called by hard names in 1896, but you haven't a name hard enough to keep me from protesting against handful of English bankers controlling 70,000,00O people in this country. In 1896 we op- posed the trusts so much that they all opposed us. We oppose all trusts, and especially money monopoly. The re- publicans are trying to organize paper money trust to turn over the money market to the national banks. Unless trusts are throttled there is no chance for the young men of to-day. We ask republicans to help us save the govern ment.
 "A large standing army is a burden to taxpayers and a menace to the re- public. This nation can depend upon it's volunteers. They can defend 1t in the hour of danger. (Vociferous ap- plause) What has happened to make more soldiers necessary? Nothing but a republican administration, The pres ident says our occupation of Cuba is temporary. There is no trouble in Por- to Rico. Seventy thousand soldiers are wanted to carry the benign blessings of freedom to nine million Flllplnos. Who will pay the cost? If the Filipi- nos, they must be taxed four times as high as Spain taxed them. If we pay it, ask a gold man to show you how 1t will get back to taxpayers, Common people furnish soldiers and syndicates get the money paid for war. don | want single soul to be brought under the American flag unless he can share in every blessing of this government.

 Shall we call our chief executive president of the United States and em- peror of the Philippines. Government by one man backed by force is despotism. People who are opposed to taking the Philippines plead not for the Fillipinos but for the American people, who may by becoming accustomed to despotism be prepared to yield to despots. l op- pose Christianity fired out of a gatling gun. The man who is hit does not need the gospel. Does the laboring man want oriental labor to compete with him? Every nation in Europe wants us to be guilty of conquest. If we are to become an empire let us send back Bartholdi's statue to France, and go to England and borrow staute of William the Conqueror. Let us treat the Filipnos as we are the Cubans, and we will erect in the harbor of Manila new statue of liberty in the old world"

CONNECT OF THE FIST NEW FORK, Hearing Before Gov. Roosevelt-Thc .asS Charges of Cownrtlice.

Albany. N. Y, April 20.-A hearing was held to-day before Governor Roose-
 welt on the report submitted to him by
 the court of inquiry which investigated the conduct of the Seventy First regi- ment of New York in the Santiago cam paign. There were present at the hear ing: Adjutant General Andrews, Major Charles Buchanan, who was judge advo- cate of the court; Brigader General George Moore Smith, Major Smith, who was lieutenant colonel of the Seventy First regiment; Captain Whittle, who was major during the period of war service; Major Austin of General Smiths staff, who commanded a con- pany of the regiment in the campaign, and Colonel Bacon of Brooklyn, who acted as counsel for the three last named gentlemen, the inquiry having been con- ducted at the request of Major Smith and Captain Whittle. The governor did not permit the counsel for the involved officers to see the findings of the court but stated that Lieutenant Colonel Smith and Captain Whittle were charg- ed with lack of courage, incompetency and neglect of duty. As far as could be gleaned from the statements of the governor and Judge Advocate Bu- o1,o Mo; l,i te, bor wi i, refusing to obey an order of General Kent, who commanded the division, to Colonel Downs, commander of the regi- ment, had not ordered him to do so; with permitting his battalion to disor ganze while waiting to go into action and with not exercising sufficient dis cipline over his men. Lieutenant Col onel Smith is charged with inactivity during the battle, but in reply he con tended that as lieutenant colonel of a vounteer regiment he had no duties to perform except the special ones which might be assigned by the colonel of the regiment Major Austin was censured for failing to communicate to Colonel Downs verbal rexpression from General Kent that he desired the regiment mov- ed to the front. Major Austin explained that he thought the order was simply given to move further up the trail in which the regiment was located. The court of inquiry contends that it was to take the Seventy First regiment over the San Juan river and into action and the defence that it was to rest in the trail on this side of the river. At the conclusion of the hearing the governor paid compliment to the privates and the subordinate officers of the regiment and stated that while he had not made up his mind as to what he would do he intimated that he would have Major Whittle and Lieutenant Colonel Smith tried before a military court and reprimand Major Austin in general or der

Considered Absurd fin Washington.

Washington, April 20.-The statement that the commander of the German cruiser Fake had been arrested at Apia by the British naval commander was at once secuted by the officials to whom it was referred here. Both Secretary Hay and Secretary Long expressed their dis belief in the accuracy of the report. It was stated that the navy department had heard from Admiral Kautz by ca ble from Auckland at a later date than that upon which the steamer just ar rived at Victoria must have sailed from Apia. Admiral Kautzs dispatch was dated April and it was forwarded from Auckland on April 12. It is sug- gested that the steamers cred had heard of the arrest of the German manager of the plantation where the American and British sailors were ambushed and had concluded that the person arrested was the German commander. It is pointed out in official German quarters that the arrest of the commander of one warship by the commander of an- other ship is an absurdity, and, more over, in cable advices which have reach- ed the embassy much later than those which a steamer could have brought to British Columbia no such action was disclosed. The British embassy also is without any information of such an oc- cllrrenCe,

 tfons With SaxtoM.

Canton, O., April 20.-The defense of Mrs. George, who is on trial for the murder of George Saxton, brother of Mrs. Mckinley, put on the stand to-day Mrs. Lizzie Miller. who testified that she says a man in a long black mackin- tosh and cape, wearing a white sailor hat, passing her home, which is on one of the routes from the Althouse home to the center of the city soon after the shooting of Saxton. This evidence was intended to corroborate a witness who testified yesterday that a "man in black was seen approaching the Alt house home. Newton George, son of the accused, told of the two occasions he had lived in the SaIton block, first with his father and mother, and aga in with his mother alone. He said Saxton was often in the rooms during both times they lived in the Saxton block. Saxton sent the children to bed, gave them presents and often gave Mrs. George candy and flowers. He also had seen his mother on Saxton's lap number of times.

$1O,OOO FIRE NEAR DANE URY. of Edward s. Parks Destroyed
 Was Running Overtime.

Danbury, April 20.-Edward S. Parks, manufacturer of matters furs, had his factory totally destroyed by fire to- night, causing a loss of fully S1O,O00, partly insured, The fire was undoubted- ly due to spontaneous combustion, as the fur is of very inflammable nature. This is the third fire that MT. Parks has experienced. The factory was located about a mile and half from the center of the city, between Danbury and Bethel, but within the city limits. The factory was being run overtime in the effort to fill orders and the employees did not leave the factory until after 3 o'clock tonight. Half an hour later the fire was discovered.

Sir George Otto Trevelyan, author of "The American Revolution" and nephew of Lord Macauley, the cele-s brated historian, presided. In the course of a happy reference to the presence of Joseph H. Choate, the United States ambassador, he said that America had always sent distinguished representa-s tives to Great Britain and he reminded the company that Benjamin Franklin presided at the first dinner of the socie~e ty.
 Mr. Choate, responding for "Litera-s ture' emphasized the 'harmonizing and unifying power of good literature be- tween all peoples speaking the same language The AngloAmerican liter ary tie, he continued had never been broken and never could be- American had sent England an authority who had entered every home in the King dom He referred not to Mark Twain nor MT.

QUEER STORY FROM SAMOA
BROUGHT BY STEAMER .AOSANGI
 FROM f USTRALIA.
The Commander of the German War; ship Fa1ke Reported to Have Been Ar rested by the British-StOry In all Probability Grows Out of the Arrest of the German Planter.

Seattle, Wash, April 2o.-A Times special from Victoria, B. C., says that the steamer Aosangi from Australia brings advices that the commander of the German man-of-war Fake at Sa- moa has been arrested by the British, and now Is held prisoner on the Brit ish vessel Porpoise. He was surprised by squad of British soldiers handing arms and ammunition to Mataafa s men. The report was brought to Aus tralia by the passengers on the steamer Upola. After the arrest of the Fakes commander a conference was held be- tween Captain Sturdee and Admiral Kautz, and the Porpoise and the Phil adelphia steamed into position on each side of the Fake. Orders were then sent aboard that if the Falke made a move of any kind she would be blown out of the water No one is allowed to go aboard or leave the German ship-of- war without permission, written and signed by Captain Sturdee, of the Por- poise or Admiral Kautz Fighting con- tinues between the forces of Mataafa and Marietoa Tanus, and bush fights with slight loss of life are daily occur rences Business is practically at a standstill. There is considerable sick ness among the seamen of the Porpoise, and the Porpoise. Three of the Por- poise's crew died from fever. Lieuten- ant Garnet of the Porpoise is among the sick Mataafa's cause is waning. April is the date on which the report ed arrest was made.

A Mistake Very Probable.

San Francisco. Cal. April 2O.-The mail advces received here by the As scciated Press on April 17 from Apia Samoa, and dated March "A, told of a little incident which occurred just be- fore the bombardment by the Ameri- can and British warships commenced The German man. -of-war was about to leave the harbor on some mysterious mission when Admiral Kautz signalled her to return and take care of the Ger man residents, as the bombardment of the city by the American and British was about to commence. The German returned to her position and during the shelling of the vicinity took on board many German residents This incident combined with the arrest of a promi- nent German planter for aiding the rebels is, perhaps, the one referred to in the Victoria advices of to-day, and in some manner misconstrued by the passengers on the Aasangi.

NOT ONE CHEWED IOBACCO.
Senator Frye's Wife Repudiates Asper-
 siOns on the Peace Com m issiOners.

Lewiston, Me-, April 20.-An open let ter by Mrs William P. Frye, published in the Journal this afternoon, makes re- ply to recent lecture of Professor David S. Tarr Jordan. to the students of Stockton (Calfornia) high school, in which he attacked the administration and it's policy, repeating q story that one of the peace commissioners at banquet in Paris was guilty of eXpector- aing tobacco juice on the floor. Mrs,
 Frye called this vulgar story which had not even the merit of freshness or the appearance of truth" Continuing, Mrs. Frye says: But what interests me most in your extraordinary harangue is your attack on our peace commissioners
 in which you display such profound ig- norance as to our public men. What do you mean by your suggestion that It would be better to send men abroad who are familiar with the usages of good society," Were you ignorant of the fact that one has been secretary of state and is now a circuit judge? That one has been a senator for two terms, the chair- man of the committee on foreign rela- tions, one of the most accomplished lawyers in the northwest and finished scholar? That one has been in the house and senate twenty-nine years? That one has been senator two terms and IS now circuit judge, gentleman by birth and breeding? That one was proprietor and editor of the New York Tribune, and served us admirably as minister to France? That all were graduates of our colleges? That all had vastly greater experience in polite society and familiarity with social ethics than you even could dream of? Not one of these gentlemen chewed tobacco; not one of them attended banquet while abroad. Now do you not think that you had bet ter apologize to your students for your gross and untruthful statements and redeem at least to that extent, your reputation as gentleman and schOlar?"

YELLOW FEVER IN HATAN4. Three Cases Developed Yesterdsy--Strict
 Measures R escorted To.

Havana, April 20.-Three cases of yellow fever developed today. Colonel Davis isolated the house and declined to allow ingress or egress except in the case of the physician and the necessa- ry assistants, who were not allowed to come into contact with the public until their clothing had been changed and fumigated. No Americans are among the sick There has been at all times during the last four or five months some yellow fever. a case or two, and the expectation was of course, that there would be an outbreak this sea- son, though on a smaller scale than usual. An Irishman who was picked up on the San Jose dock suffering from fever, died fortnight ago at the Reina Mercedes hospital, and there were two other cases of natives at the same time both of which have since recov- cred. Colonel Davis is in no way alarmed at the latest developments, nor for that matter even surprised The sanitary department has the situation well in hand.

Dreyfus Persistently Protested His In- nOcence and After Being Condemned Repeatedly Asked for q Revolver, Dos cIaring That His Only Crime Was In Having Been Born Jew.

Paris, April 20.-The Figaro continu- ing to-day it's publication of testimony offered before the court of cessation in the Dreyfus revision inquiry, devotes twenty-four columns to some twenty dispositions of minor officials, most of which are favorable to Dreyfus. It. gives also fac-simile of the bordereau. Major Forsinetti, who was director of the Cheriche- Midi prison in 1894 at the time of the condemnation of Dreyfus, testified that Dreyfus consistently and persistently protested his innocence and after he was condemned he repeatedly asked for a revolver, declaring that his only crime was in having been born q Jew.
 The witness said that after the peti- tion for a revision of the trial by court martial was rejected Colonel Du Patty de Clam visited Dreyfus and tried his utmost to draw from him confession that he had been entrapped into guil- ty communication of documents to al foreign power Dreyfus energeticallys prOl6SI6u LIldI ue Wd5 lAob SutitJ, cAANA Colonel Du Paty de Clam said in part-s ing from him: If you are really in nocent you are the greatest martyr of the century"
 Major Forsinetti told the court that he questioned Captain Lebrun- Renaud regarding the alleged confessions of, Dreyfus, but Captain Lebrun- -Renauds promptly denied that Dreyfus had con- fessed anything. Major Forsinetti adj ded that although he and Major Atteles were on terms of great friendship, the latter had never mentioned any confess sion to him. Forsinetti declared that he was convinced of the innocence of Dreyfus. Many others testified for and' against Dreyfus. There were numerous witnesses who deposed that they hadsI come Into contact with Captain Lebruti- Renaud and that he never mentioned any confession of Dreyfus. Among these was the abbe validier, to whom Captain Lebrun-R -Renaud described a score of times the degradation scene without ever alluding to any confess sion.
