Of the Present Differences Be
tween Americans and Some
of the Islanders.
Desire to Know Just What
Terms the Americans Will
Accord
To Those Who will Surrender
Part of the Committee Will
Visit Agninaldo.

MANILA, April 19.-8:15 p. ma
number of prominent and wealthy Fill.
pinos are organizing a committee tc
take steps to bring about, if possible, an
understanding between the rebels and
the Americans. One branch of this
committee intends to ask the United
States Philippine commission to make a
statement as to what terms will be Of
fered the rebels, if the latter will sur.
render.
Another branch of the committee will
approach Aguinaldo with the terms and
will endeavor to persuade him to &C.
cept them. It is considered doubtful,
however, if any members of the COM
mittee will dare to personally confer
with the rebel leader.
The committee includes several per-
sons recently condemned to death by
Aguinaldo, 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, particularly as re-
suit of the 1.oilo fire. Major General
Otis, who has hitherto handled these
claims, is unable to devote any of his
time to them now.
General Lawton has ordered Colonel
Whalley of the Washington regiment,
who is lieutenant in the regular
army, to command General Kings
brigade during the latters illness.
New YORK, April ia Manila cor
respondent says that he has had an in
terview with Legarda, one of the Fill
pino leaders. He said that a committee
of % Filipinos had been appointed to
confer with the peace commission for
the following purposes: To obtain as
large autonomic rights for the Filipino
people as possible; to bring about peace
full relations between the insurgents and
the American authorities, and to insist
that Americans and Filipinos only shall
occupy public Office.
Arevalo, a former aide to Aguinaldo,
is now in Manila. He said in an inter-
view that if the Americans would send
emissaries to Aguinaldo now he thinks
peaceful solution of the present trou-
bles is probable. influential Americans
think that this commission of rich
Filipinos is eager to protect their prop
erty, and has little influence with the
insurgents.

IN THE QUAY CASE.

Exclusion of All but Conspiracy Evi.
dence Cuts Short Some Testimony.
PHILADELPHIA, April 10. - When
court opened in the trial of ex-United
States Senator Quay, it was evident
from the brief examination of Meyer
Goldsmith, the expert accoun tant, by
District Attorney Rothermel, that Judge
Biddle's decision, ruling out testimony
relating to other than the alleged speci-
fic conspiracy, prevents the revelation
of many alleged manipulations by state
treasurers and others of the state funds
on deposit in the Peoples bank.
Confined to Bank Books Proper.
The defense confined the witness to
the regular books of the bank, and with
out reference to the "red book" ':black
book" or "blue book
In pursuance of this $57,534.1 16 was
the total loans charged against Mr..
Quay. There were also numerous cred
its, but balancing the figures left the
Indebtedness as above. This left diff
ference of $128, $50 in the amount of
$1S5, ,855.12 testified to by the witness as
having been loaned to Senator Quay
during the six months ending Oct. 81,
1897. This discrepancy was accounted
for, however, by the production from
the 'black book" of entries showing
purchases of Metropolitan and sugar
stock to the value of $12S,85O.
Mr.. Shields claimed that the witness
had no right to charge against Senator
Quay the purchases of stock, since they
were bought through alocal stock ex-
change firm and carried by them on
margin, and that not q dollar was
loaned by the bank on the transactions.
The witness was compelled to admit
the truth Of this. He also admitted
several other items which, by the bank
book entries were favorable to the
Quay side of the case.

sPennsylvania Legislative Committee De.
clares That the Charges Were True.
HARRISBURG, Pa, April 10. Majority
and minority reports were reported to
the house from the committee which
has for several weeks past been investi-
eating the charges Of attempted bribery
In connection with the balloting for
United States senator and the considera.
tion in the house of the McC Carroll jury
bill. The latter bill, which was even
tually defeated, was said to have been
introduced to aid Senator Quay in his
then approaching trial in the Philadel-
phia court.
The majority report recites at consid-
CRADLES length testimony taken by the
committee and says the evidence dis
closed clearly that undue means were
taken by many persons to corruptly
solicit members Of the house for the
purpose Of
Influencing Their Ofcial Action
in reference to the McCarrol jury bill
and in reference to their official action
as to the election of an United States
senator.
This corrupt solicitation, the report
says, consisted of offers of money, posi-
ton, advantage and political prefer
ment. The report charges that in fur
therance of an unlawful conspiracy to
carry out the scheme rooms were main
tanned at the Lochiel hotel. In the con-
cluding paragraph of the report nine
persons are named against whom the
committee recommends that legal ac-
ton be brought. This paragraph is as
follows:
''In conclusion, your committee re-
spectfully reports that there is, in their
opinion, sufficient evidence against
Charles B. Spatz, John R. Byrne,
Parker Titus, Frank B. Jones, Monroe
H. Kulp, Thomas NJ. Moyles, Robert
Evans, John J. Coyle and NJ. j. Cos
tello, for this house to direct that
Criminal Proceedings Be Brought

sessions of Dauphin county, and it is
recommended that these proceedings be
1mmedlately commenced ana vigorously
prosecuted by the authority of this
house,
Spatz is at present a member of the
house from Berks county and is Dem
ocrat. Kulp was member of the
Fifty-fourth and Fifty-sixth congresses
from the Seventh Pennsylvania district
and is Republican. Coyle, Costello,
Byrne and Moyles were formerly in the
legislature. Some are Democrats and
some are Republicans. The majority
report is signed by five of the nine
members of the committee, Messrs.
Fow, DEM, chairman; Dixon, Dem.,
and Kountz, Randall and Young, anti
Quay Republicans.
The minority report is practically the
same as the majority as far as the find
ings are concerned, but differs on the
recommendations made.
