the situation, and that there was no oc-
casion for any action by the authorities
in Washington.
The conditions have not changed. The
Government cannot recognize any social
ed rebel government. Gen. Otis is the
representative of the United States in the
Philippines, and he has an army there TO
put down the rebellion. His orders are
to suppress this rebellion. and his terms
to the rebels are unconditional surrender.
The President and Secretary of War
have approved Gen. Otis action. They
will not modify any demand he has made.
There will be no conditions. The rebels
must surrender and accept the authority
of this Government. They can secure
recognition for no alleged government Of
their own.
Admiral Watson reports the rout of a
force of rebels intrenched on Lingayen
gulf island of Luzon, by the gunboat
Paragua, commanded by Ensign David
son. The Paragua is one of the small
gunboats purchased from Spain by Gen.
Otis and turned over to the navy. The
scene of the battle was on the north coast
of Luzon, off the port which forms the
northern terminus of the railroad.

PARDON FORDREYFUS
FRENCH ARMY CAPTAIN GIVEN
HIS FREEDOM.
Agrees to RelinQuish His Appeal for
Reversal Of Judgment of the Court
Martial-May Go TO England to Re-
cuperate HE Broken Health.

It was officially announced In Par'A
Tuesday that Dreyfus' pardon had been
agreed upon in principle, but that 1t
would not be signed for several days,
owing to formalties. Dreyfus agreed to
relinquish his appeal for reversal Of
the Judgment of the court martial which
recently convicted him of treason and
sentenced him to ten years Imprisonment.
This action on the part Of the prisoner Is
regarded as practically giving up his fight
for rehabilitation and complete establish
ment of his innocence.
This unusual course Is a part Of the
general policy Of amnesty adopted by the
present Government, and Is the logical
outcome Of the incongruous verdict. The
health of Dreyfus is as precarious az
ever. He can live only few years.
1t Is understood that Dreyfus will go
to England with his family, there to
spend the remainder of his life, or at
least to rest and recuperate his broken
health. 1t is said that Nine. Dreyfus
and Maitre Labori recently paid a visit
to Folkestone, near Dover, and engaged
apartments in expectancy Of the event of
a pardon.
A peculiar coincident was the announce
ment Of the death of NJ. Scheurer-kest-
ner, the former vice-president of the SEN
ate and foremost champion of Dreyf,X, at
almost the same time as that Of the par
don. He had been i'll for several days
with typhoid fever, partly brought on by
worry over the Dreyfus case.

French War Minister Declares Drey
fus Incident IL Closed.

French War Minister Declares Drey-
fus Incident 10 Closed.
A general order has been issued by
Gen. de Gallifet. the French minister of
war, regarding the Dreyfus case, which
reads in part as follows:
'The incident Is closed. The military
judges, who enjoyed the respect of all,
pronounced the sentence in perfect inde-
pendence. All of us, without harboring
an afterthought, bowed to the decision.
We shall equally accept the act which a
feeling Of deep pity dictated to the presi-
dent. There can no longer exist the idea
Of reprisals of any kind, hence l repeat
the incident is closed"
The Paris Official Journal publishes
President Loubet's decree for the pardon
Of Dreyfus. 1t also prints the official re-
port of Gen. de Gallifet, minister of war,
suggesting that Dreyfus be released. Gen.
de Gallifet points out that, though it is
the first duty of the Government to in
sure respect for decisions of justice, yet
the general wish of the country for paci-
fication makes it necessary that there
should be an immediate end of the pain
full conflict. Moreover, Gen. de Gallifet
declares the serious condition Of the pris-
oner's health must be considered, as he
is not in a fit condition to stand further
Imprisonment. The long Imprisonment
on Devils Island, Gen. de Gallifet urges,
should also be taken into consideration.
Besides, there are higher political rea-
sons for the course he suggests, and the
court martial itself has plainly indicated
its wish that the carrying out of the sen-
tence should be tempered with mercy.

FIRE in STOCK YARDS
HORSE PAVILION AND TRANSIT
HOUSE RUINED.
Flames Attack Ruildings Over Area
of Many Acres Aggregate Loss to n
Score of Structures 1924, OOO-Hun-
dreds of Horses Stampede.

For the second time in three years FIRE
has wiped out mammoth horse sale sta
bles at the Chicago stock yards. The
Dexter Park pavilion, two residences and
three detached horse barns were destroy
ed. and the old stock yards hotel, the
Transit House, was badly damaged.
For awhile it was feared the flames
would spread to the stock yards proper,
but hard work on the part Of the fire de-
partment, aided by strong southwest
wind, which carried the flying embers in
the opposite direction, averted this dan
ger. The property loss is estimated at
between $300,O and $400.0OO.
About $500 horses we're in the pavilion
when the fire broke out and these were
turned loose. In the stampede which fol-
lowed three persons were injured, none,
however, seriously. Two hundred guests
Of the hotel were forced to rush from the
building, many of them leaving their ef-
fects behind in the scramble for places of
safety.
The fire was discovered at 4:30 o'clock
in the afternoon in the southeast corner
of the huge pavilion. The first alarm
brought four engines and a hook and lad
der truck, but by the time they arrived
the fire had gained such headway that a
Ali alarm was sent in. This was quick
ly followed by two special calls, each for
ten more engines, and in a short time
thirty-four engines were at work.
Within fifteen minutes after the dis
covery of the fire the huge building, with
its dome towering nearly 200 feet, was
enveloped in one seething, surging mass
of flame. The long speedway in the CEN
ter caused a draft, which carried the
flames far out beyond the building, COM
municating with the hotel $50 feet away.
Seeing that the pavilion could not be
saved, the firemen turned their attention
TO the hotel. The fire started in the hotel
in the rear near the elvatOr shaft, and
up this the flames shot high above the
roof, communicating the blaze to each Of
the four floors. After nearly three hours
work the flames were subdued, but not
before the building was left almost a
shell.
The total loss to the Union Stock Yards
and Transit Company, according to the
estimate of j. A. Spoor, vice-president
and general manager of the company,
will reach the sum of 1894 600. All Of
the property was insured, but with the
exception of the hotel the insurance was
not equal to the value of the property.

LOOKS LIKE A FROST.
The Chicago Fall Festival May BE
Abandoned.

A Chicago correspondent declares that
1t is thought by those on the inside Of the
fall festival management that the entire
affair will have to be abandoned. Wheth-
er the labor trouble will prevent the Fed
eral corner stone exercises on Chicago
day Is problerhatical. The corner stone
committee proposes to be able to arrange
matters so the Chicago day exercises will
be carried out on the grand scale design
ed, and 1t Is thought this can be done.
But whether the corner stone exercises
come off or not it is generally admitted
that the fall festival is dead.
The labor interests made the demand
that Mr.. Truax withdraw as the head Of
the celebration. His withdrawal and the
cutting Of new stone by union labor are
the conditions which the unions made to
the discontinuance of their opposition to
the festival. They declared that IL Mr..
Truax would resign and a new corner
stone was cut and placed by union labor,
they would hold in allegiance their fight
on Contractor Peirce as to future stone
work on the Government building until
after the corner stone and festival cele-
brations are concluded.

RAISING MONEY FOR WAR.
Question of How Uncle Sam Will Raiee
Funds for Philippine War.

Secretary Gage. of the Treasury, is en-
gagged in the task Of ascertaining whence
the funds are to come with which to pay
the largely increased army recently deter
mined on by the President and Secretary
Root. The receipts Of the government did
not meet the extraordinary expenditures
when the army was smaller, and the
problem of how to meet the cost of 10000
additional troops gives the Treasury De-
partment some uneasiness.
The administration, it is said, is un-
willing to make another bond issue, but
if this cannot be avoided 1t will be done;
and it is asserted that Secretary Gage has
ample authority to issue more bonds for
the prosecution of the war In the Phil
ippines, which is regarded as a part Of
the war with Spain. Ii seems to be gen.
orally conceded that custom duties should
not be further increased and thus the
means of raising necessary funds lie in
war taxes, or bonds, or both.
The following are some of the sugges-
tions that find favor among the revenue
officials: The imposition of stamp tax
on all patent protected articles, the theory
being that the value of the article is
greatly enhanced by the protection of the
patent laws of the United States, and
that, as a war measure purely, the gov
ernment would be justified in demanding
a fractional part Of the profits secured
through the establishment of a monopoly
by virtue of the patent laws.
1t is also proposed to place a stamp tax
on all slot machines in which there is any
element of chance. 1t has been found
that the manufacture of these machines
has attained gigantic proportions. In
each of them the percentage of profit to
the proprietor is enormous, and the tax
would not be oppressive. OF course, this
would not strike those machines which
dispense chewing gum, for in them there
is no element of chance. and the gum
already pays a government tax.
Another proposition that has met with
favor at the hands of the Treasury De-
partment is one to put a stamp tax on all
firearms, except such as are used for ma
tional, State or municipal purposes.
