America in competition with the Unit

tries on gold basis.
American capital is going into the

fer the surrender of all American
prisoners. The admitted purpose of
the Filipinos in thus freeing the
Americans is in order to impress for
eign powers.
The released Englishmen assert
that three Americans who were taken
prisoners have accepted commissions
in the insurgent army. One of the
three is said to have been a sergeant,
but his regiment is unknown; another
is said to have been a corporal in a
California regiment, while the third is
a negro. Five officers of the japanese
army are assisting the insurgents in
their war preparations. On the way to
the American lines the Englishmen
were taken on wide detour away
from the insurgent front, and were
thus unable to see the Filipino de-
fenses, which are reputed to be strong.

LEGAL TENDER NOTES.
Cannot Be Converted Till Old Ones Are
Destroyed

Washington, Oct. 2.-The treasury
department finds difficulty in keeping
the fact before the banks that legal
tender notes of any denomination can
not be converted into other denomina-
items until the old notes are actually
received and destroyed at the treasury
The law requires that the cid notes
shall not only be in the custody of the
treasury, but shall have been can
celled and destroyed bpfore new ones
can be issued in their place, in order
that the whole amount outstanding
shall never exceed the limits fixed by
the resumption act and other laws
governing the matter.
The pressure for small notes con-
tinues to be acute, in spite of some
benefit derived from the issue of gold
certificates. The total issues of gold
certificates since the beginning of
August have now reachkd s68, ,886,O00,

SAMOAN WAR CLAIMS.
Great Britain and fne United
States TO Foot the Bill.
Negotiations Still in Progress as TO
riode of Settling Losses Grow
ing Ous OF the DepredafionS of
the Natives Under Mafaafa.

Washington, Oct. 2.-The three gov
ernments interested in Samoa, Great
Britain, Germany and the United
| States, have been considering the
claims arising out of the lombard
ment last summer in which the
American forces under Admiral Kautz,
and the British forces under Captain
Sturdee, participated. AS a pre.imi-
nary step the British government has
signified a purpose to adopt in this
case the principle observed in the
damage done by the bombardment of
Alexandria, Egypt, namely, that pri-
vate property destroyed as a necessary
incident to the prosecution of naval
and military operations would be paid
for While applying this general pr1n-
ciple, the adjustment of the various
claims is yet to be made according to
the circumstances Of each.
The claims are being considered I'M
der two main heads, viz, those arising
from the joint naval operations of the
British and the American forces, and,
second, those growing out of the oper-
atiOns of the Samoan natives, chiefly
the followers of Mataafa.
Under the first had caused by the
operations are in
cluded the claims resulting from the
9ptu3I born ha r6mapt c,,ch a., do1oo oo
done by shells, and also those resulting
from the demolition Of buildings. and
like incidental damage to private prop
erty, which at times became necessary
as means of checking the native up
rising. The damage done by shells
and projectiles has turned out to be
small, and much the
larger amount is for the incidental de-
struction and damage of houses and
property as a precautionary measure
The second class of claims growing
out of depredaticns by the Samoan
natives, has been more difficult of ad-
justment. The officials have hesitated +
to impose a heavy money burden on
The Samoans, and yet they have fe.t it .
essential that the Samoans should |
understand that they cannot cause
damage to the property CT
he whites and then go free of obli-
CATION. Thus far it has not been p1s-
'ible to formulate even a general prin-
iple fer considering this class of
,laims
1t is understood that the British and
German authorities are agreed on the
general principle that the lombard
nent and naval claims should be reim-
'ursed- This, however, it is asserted,
no obligation on Germany TO
hare in meeting the claims, as the
German forces did not participate in
he bcmbardment. 1t is said, also,
hat no proposition has been made to
ave Germany pay part of the dam
ge done by the Mataafa forces. The
curse of the United States has not
ct been fully determined, either as
the bombardment or the claims
rising from native depredations
SO far as known, all the claims un-
er consideration are for property loss,
here being no present basis for esti-
mating claims for the loss of life

Now Moving Against Saloons.

Mondays Boise Statesman says
the coming week in the Idaho legis-
lature will probably witness a num-
Der of preliminary skirmishes over
the anti-saloon bills that have been
presented. There are three of these
now pending. One requires the sa-
loohs to close on Sunday and on
week days from 10 p. m. to 5 a. M,
and the other is the local option
measure. Both of these will very
likely pass the house after war Of
words. The enemies of the bill as
sert the measure will meet death in
the senate, but that is not sure, as
number of the senators have
openly declared themselves in favor
of them.
The other measure proposes an
amendment to the constitution pro-
hibiting the manufacture of and
sale of liquors. The prohibitionists
have opened headquarters in Boise
and are making an earnest fight for
this bill. Those of the members
who favor restrictive legislation as
respects the saloons but who are
passive on the prohibition question
may vote against the latter propo-
sition, after giving the other anti
saloon bills their support, holding
that it is not well to bite off too
much at once; but the friends of
the prohibition resolution urge its
immediate adoption along with the
other bills aimed at the saloons,
pointing out that the Sunday clos
ing and local option bills will only
serve to keep the saloons in sub
lection during the two years that
will elapse before the people can
vote on the prohibition amend
ment
