GEN. BROOKE SILENT.
Has Made No Report on DIsarminE
of Cubans.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Gen. Brooke
made no report today to the war depart
ment upon the reported non-success of
the effort to induce Cuban soldiers in
Havana to lay down their arms and ac-
cept the gratuity provided for them.
The officials are generally disappointed,
but feel that they have done all that in
fairness could be expected of them, and
if the remaining Cuban soldiers are of
the same mind as those in Havana the
government will not delay withdrawal
Of the offer.
The suspicion is growing here that
while the leaders Of the opposition to
the policy of the United States in this
matter do not contemplate the foelhardy
attempt at instruction. they are trying
to retain the Cuban army in organization
and within their call, SO that they may
dominate the affairs of the island by
force. il need be, when the United States
forces are withdrawn, and the indepen-
dence of the island is acknowledged. An
other explanation offered is that the ex-
istence of a large Cuban army has been
exaggerated.

Ffnnncier Thinks the Market VIII
Continue That Way

NEW YORK, May N.-Ihe F1nancier
says:
The surplus reserve of the New York
clearing house banks Is now higher than
reported for eleven months, the gain Of
$9,502, 200 for the week ending May q have
sWelled the total to $43, 933, ATS. The fea-
ture of the current exhibit is the reduc-
ton of $17,5OO, 900 in loans and the con-
traction of S12, 665, 900 in deposits Reserve
requirements, by reason of the heavy de-
post change, were reduced by So, 900, 900
and over, and this, added to the ST, 0e0, 900
gain in cash, raised the excess fund in
banks more than 50, 600, Goo Taking the
known operations of the week as a basis
the greater part of the cash expansion
should be attributed to interior move
ments, but this is essentially misleading
The National City bank, fol- instance
which figures prominently in The state
ment, reports a Sain Of more than SO, 000,-
900 in cash, nearly all in gold. It's loans
are down 100000 and deposits nearly
100000. This is probably due in part
to operations connected with the f1nanc-
ing of the Amalgamate Copper subscrip-
tons
THE interesting situation disclosed by
such an analysis is that whereas, the
banks as whole lave gained enormous
ly, the reserves of the majority of the
institutions do not vary much
from the previous week. In other words,
the gain in cash has been made by a
few banks. 1t is incorrect, however, to
say that this is actually the Case for the
supply of money held by nearly every
financial institution in New York Is much
in excess Of the demand. Considered
broadly. the statement indicates a pro-
longed period of easy rates
Zone factor which is attracting some
attention is the condition Of the sterling
exchange market. There Is d possibility
that with continued piling up of money
here and a falling in rates, international
credits cannot be operated to advantage
and actual exports Of gold may follow.
The only thing that can well prevent
such an occurrence Is the maintenance
of money here at something above the
level prevailing abroad. Whether this
can be done depends largely on a revival
IN speculative activity. 1t IS certain,
however that for every dollar Of gold
which may be lost this season, a greater
number will be gained from Europe in
the fall"

Enj. Young Tells of the Work of the
Artillery at CaIoOcan.

WASHINGTON. May 27.-NeXt in the
series of reports of the operations near
Manila which the war department is max
ing public in connection with that OF
Maj. Gea. Macarthur is that of Mai
Richard w. Young, Of the famous Utah
light artillery.
In his report, which tells the story of
the operations from Feb. 10 Feb To-
Mai. Young, after describing the advance
on Caloocan, says:
I am satisfied that no troops during
this advance have performed more dan
gerous service than the detachments
under Lieut.. Seaman in their perilous
progress up the Caloocan road; too much,
therefore in my judgment cannot be said
In praise of their intrepidity and etfici-
eucy.'
Maj. Young also mentions the good
work of two guns of the Sixth artillery,
under Lieut.. A. S. Fleming. who were as
signed to his division in this section He
says;
During the advance on Calcocan this
platoon did very accurate and effective
work under heavy small-arm fire from
the enemy
He also speaks of Grants Critchlow's
guns which took part in the movement as
follows:
Extremely accurate work was done; one
OF the best shots of the campaign was at
a party throwing up earth works at the
SStI-SlSiS gate, the lett side OF the gate
Delng destroyed at an eStima ted range of
2.S0J yards by the fires shell. Sharpnei
nre proved TO be effective at the range CT
z,Oe9 yards in driving a party which ad-
Nanced fearlessly from the right to take
a hanging party under command of Mai
Bell United States volunteer engineers. -
compliment is also paid to w E.
Wood battery, the men of which drag
ged their guns on the night of Feb. 4
Tor three miles without assistance, driv-
ing the enemy back in great numbers and
paving the way Tor the infantry advance.
These guns were served under a heavy
cross-fire, the cannoneers having little or
no protection. Webb's two guns are de-
scribed as silencing the enemy's fire in
almost evey instance over an area of
ne arly $50 degrees
The two NordenfeIts, under Lieut..
Gibbs, are said to have been handled with
skill and efficiency. In one case the guns
We're brought down at double time on a

envy under close range, and was one of
the boldest and most commendable acts
OF the campaign, says Maj. Young.

MACABELEs AS SCOUTS.
They May Be Tried by the American
Forces.

MANILA, May 27.-Gen. Macarthur Is
IN favor Of the experiment OF enlisting
the Macabebes against their old enemies
the Tagals. A delegation of the leading
Macabebes has visited the general, and
its spokesman read an address assuring
the American commander Of the friend
ship of the Macabebes, AMI their willing
ness to transfer their allegiance from
Spain to the United States. They COM
piained that the Tagals murdered them
and burned their villages, and they asked
TO be protected and given arms to pro-
tect themselves. The Macabebes have
greatly assisted in posting the Amert-
cans on the country and the positions Of
the enemy. Gen. Macarthur would arm
IO0 OF these men and use them as scouts
and, If the experiment proved success
1ul, he would enlist more of them.
Maj. Gen. Otis has issued orders in
Wiling volunteers to re-enlist for six
months, according to the act of congress
bearing on the matter.

HAVANA, May 27-Seven Cubans were

distribution of the money allotted by the
United States for the payment of the Gu
ban soldiers The cabal of the members
of the former military assembly to pre-
vent the soldiers from accepting the gift
oil the United States and giving up their
arms is successful as far as Havana Is
concerned. 1t is too early to predict what
will bed one with other cities in the in
terror, but the indications are that the
money will not be called for to any great
extent. Some arms may possibly be turn
ed in voluntarily.
The anti-Gomez and anti-American ele-
ments are cheerful tonight, thinking that
the Americans are baf1ed and angry.
Gov. Gen. Brooke does not regard today
as settling the question, or as especially
significant A few privates in this city
and a number of officers have had suffl-
cient influence to intimidate some who
are willing to accept the American terms,
but there is liable to be a break. A short
time after the payment began a soldier
appeared and furnished the necessary
proof that he had SERVED in the Cuban
army, but had no arms or voucher. Sew
eral others who applied were refused, as
they had not thA necessary proof. Some
were musicians and other hospital attend
ants, but all were without the necessary
vouchers. 1t seemed for a long time as
though none would qualify, but early in
the afternoon one man, about &c years old,
arrived and gave his name as Hilario Es-
qufvil Perez. He claimed he had been an
orderly at Gen. GomeZ's headquarters.
He had no arms, but stated that his duty
consisted of gathering forage Tor the
horses and hunting for food. After some
delay the necessary paper was signed
and the money handed over.
The payment will continue tomorrow,
and 1t is likely that more Cubans will ac-
cept. The applicants in most cases so
far are little more than boys, and are
mainly those who the CubanS call block
aders,' and who Joined the army after
the American blockade Of Havana and
other seaports commenced.
The names of four of these appeared
on the list, and each man was sent to
bring an officer to swear to his identity
and then his service. Where all appeared
to be above board the money was paid on
this proof, even though their names do
not appear on the lists.

That Another Court-MartiaI Be
COnvened-This Means That the

Brought Back to Paris.
PARIS. May 27.-Early this afternoon
1t was rumored that the president of the
civil section Of the court of cessation, M.
ue Deaupre had reported to the president
Of the court Of cessation, NJ Mazau. in
FAVOR OF the revision of the Dreyfus trial,
and sending the. prisoner again before a
court martial This, later in the day,
was confirmed by distinct statement
that the president of the civil section had
SO reported to the president Of the court
OF cessation.
1t Is believed that the report is practi-
cally certain to be accepted by the court
of cessation. and means that Dreyfus
will be brought back to France and re-
tried.
A great demonstration Is being pre-
pared in honor of Maj. Marchand on his
arrival in Paris on Monday. The event
may cause a REPETITION of the Boulanger
craze. Maj. Marchand, however, is not
DESTROYS of playing the role of second
Boulanger.
1t is certain there will be stirring scenes
Marchand's reception follows the meet
ing Of the court of cessation, to consider
the report Of the president of the civil
section of that body, Ballot de Beaurs-
paire, in favor Of q revision of the Drey-
fus trial, and the trail Of M. de Roulede
and Marcel-Habert for melting soldiers
to INSTRUMENTATION in connection with the
election of President Loubet.
The proceedings in the case will be pub
lie. although the greater part of the court
room has been reserved for ticket hold
ers.
The procedure will consist of the read
ing of the report of M. Ballot de Beaure-
paire, followed by a speech by Maitre
Mornard, counsel for Nine, Dreyfus, and
the address Of the public prosecutor, M
Manu-. The court will then retire to de-
hberate on verdict. which it is expect
ed will be rendered on Friday or Satur-
day.

"REMINISCENCES OF SOME OF THE
FAMOUS BALL PLAYERS WHO

Two Great Second Basemen who
Have Been Forgotten - ''Ted"
Kennedy's Record of Seventeen
strikeouts Against Detroit Team
When ''Lady" Baldwin and Char
ley Bennett Were SIN the Points"
when did Fred Dunlap quit playing
ban?" asked a st. Paul enthusiast Of a
postmaster of the national game.
Never heard of him." was the laconic
rejoinder.
Such Is fame Not many years since
Fred Dunlap was the king of second
basemen in the National league. He was
the captain Of the st. Louis Maroons
when Henry Lucas was expanding a for
tune in an effort to revive interest in
the game In that city Manager Comis-
key, now of the st. Paul ball club, knew
who Dunlap was. There was no man in
the game "Commy' dreaded more in
those days, when it was war to the finish
between the Maroons Of the league and
the Browns of the American association.
Dunlap was a marvellous ball player. He
was never known to become ratified
He took defeat as philosophically as he
did victory, and was ever the digniied
imperturbable statue, whose rebuke to
player Of his team was a look that was
harsher than words. Dunlap was among
the most famous OF ball players of his
day Now he Is forgotten.
ROBINSON'S FAMOUS STEAL
"Yanl'' Robinson was another famous
roCOnd boS r-ho WAC Sort IF T1ro-
tege Of Charley Comiskey. Robinson had
no superiors and few equals at tricky
ball. One exploit will suffice to show
how exceedingly clever he was. 1t was
in game between the st. Louis Browns
and the Brooklyns. The game was inn
portant, as bearing upon the standing
of the two clubs In the pennant race.
President Byrne was on the grounds, and
taking deep interest In the outcome OF
the contest. There was a wrangle at
home plate and the attention of the UNI
pire was conferred there. -'Yank'' Rob
inson was on second. The urnpire's back
was turned and "Yank' deliberately ran
directly across the pitchers box and fell
upon the home plate. claiming the run.
Bryne saw the awful steal. but the UNI
pire did not. That official allowed the
run to count. Bryne was furious. He
abused Robinson for his trickery. The
clever second baseman dis not lose his
temper. He smiled and responded:
81 am not playing bali for you. Mr..
Bryne. I want the St Louis team to
win this game. We need 1t In our bust
