RAIDS ON R0YALiSTS
BY THE SECRET POLICE

PARIS, Feb 26.-In consequence of
the placarding throughout the city of
speeches of the Due d'Orleans. the Or
leanist pretender, recently delivered at
San Reno, and the seizure Of scarfpins
and medals bearing the pretender's
portrait, the Prefect Of Police was or
dered by the Government to make
strict investigation into the recent pro-
ceedings of the Monarchist party.
Last evening the Prefect communi-
Gated the result of his inquiries to NJ.
Dupuy, with the result that the Min
lister decided upon vigorous action. At
midnight M. Cochefort, chief of the
secret police, was summoned to the
Prefecture and directed to prepare sew

BRUSSELS, Feb. 26-The Due dor
leans, who came to Brussels six days
ago to watch events in Paris, last even
ing took the train to Turin, confessing
that he had no chance against the re-
public. He allowed an interview, in
which he asserted that NJ. Deroulede
had not acted on the Royalist account,
but on the contrary had blundered ter
ribly and destroyed Royalist chances.
During the whole of the Dukes stay
in Brussels where he led quiet, un
eventful life, he has been watched and
followed, step by step, by French de-
tectives some in disguise, some riding
bicycles and some on foot. One sue
ceeded in passing himself off as Paris
ian monarchical journalist and inter-
viewed the Duke, who conf1ded his
hopes to him.
Prince Victor Napoleon is considered
here a much more serious pretender.
because less impatient, more dignified
and absolutely silent. He also is
watched by French detectives. They
learned that he often drives an au-
tomobile and sometimes even ven
lures a few miles into French terri
tory So they got an automobile from
Paris to follow him in case of need.
One notable feature of the stay Of
the Due d'Orleans is that although he
went to the royal palace of the Count
of Flanders he was neither received by
the King nor the Kings brother. He
only received a visit from the Duke Of
Vendome. 1t is believed that the King
discreetly advised him through the lat
ter to prolong his stay in Belgium as
little as possible.
TURIN, Feb. 26.-The Due dOrleans
arrived here this evening from Brussels.

DARIS, Feb. 26.-There is
] only one man in France who
takes Paul Deroulede's escape
tragically, and that is Deroulede
himself. He is anxious for a
sensational trial with a heavy
sentence that will crown him with
a martyrs halo for his followers.
He accordinglyis doing all he can
to exaggerate his offense by de-
claring verbally to officials his de
sign to overturn the republic and
writing letters to the same effect.
Nobody else, however, looks
upon him as anything but a lu-
natic. AS a journalist here said
to-day the worst punishment that
could be given Deroulede would
be to sentence him to be confined
as non compos nentis, and one
is compelled to admit that this
would be making the punishment
fit the crime.
There seems some probability
that the Ligue des Patriotes may
be dissolved. Yesterday in parlia-
mentary circles it was held that
action in this direction was. about
to be taken by the Dupuy Cabi-
net. How much truth there is
in the rumor it is hard to say, but
it would not be astonishing if all
leagues were dissolved by order,
as after all they are only royalist
or imperialist camps in disguise.

the warrants aimed to discover the ex"
istence of any political action on the
part of anti-Semite leaders IN their re-
lations with the Royalists and Bona
partiststs' committees with the other
leagues.
No other incident occurred in the
course of the domiciliary visits. This
morning M. Buffet, who represents the
Due dOrleans, vigorously protested
against the violation of his domicile.
and declared that the Royalist party
would always conspire, even if threat
ened with imprisonment. Many docu-
ments were seized at NJ. Bullets resi-
dence.
Quantities of propagandist pamphlets
and portraits of the Due d'Orleans, q
list of members Of the Royalist COM
mittee and VOluminOuS correspondence
were seized at the headquarters of the
RoyaliSt committee in the FaubOrg st.
Honore and at the residence of Comte
Sabran de PonteVes. The cOmmissary
who visited M. de Moncourt surprised
him just as he had returned from BruS-
sells with letters from the Duo dor
leans addressed to Royalist personages
and instructions from the pretender to
his supporters. All these were seized.
M. Thiebaud expressed surprise at
the proceedings against him, on the
ground that he belonged neither. to the
Royalist committee nor the Anti-Semit-
ic league.
Altogether large quantity of docu-
ments were secured and placed under
seal All whose residences were
searched denied the possession of COM
promising documents, but it is be-
lieved the raids will be continued.
In consequence of an announcement
that demonstrations were intended to
be made at the Vendome column, thirty
agents of the police were posted in the
vicinity to-day. About o'clock this
afternoon people began to arrive with
bouquets of violets Five who threw
flowers within the railing surrounding
the column were promptly placed under
arrest, though released soon after on
giving their names and addresses to
the police. Henceforth demonstrators
will be allowed to promenade with en-
blems, but not to approach the column.

MANILA, Feb. 26.-LaSt night the
rebels concentrated in such numbers
near the Chinese cemetery that General
Macarthur anticipated an attack and
asked for reinforcements. Two compa-
-nies of the Twenty third regulars were
sent to Caloocan and a battalion of the
Twentieth regulars to the cemetery at
about r-.dnight. But the expected at
tack was not made. The rebels. after
making a great noise with bugle calls
and yelIs of Viva independence" and
&. "Mucho maIo Americanos," and firing
voIleys disappeared in the woods.
1t is believed their leaders are getting
desp- ate and are attempting to force
the United States troops to make an
attack, in the hope Of breaking through
the American lines, but the rebels are
evidently unwilling to be pacified when
facing the Americans. 1t is just possi
BILE, however, - IT they may be goaded
into such a move before more reinforce
ments arrive.
All is quiet this afternoon inside and
outside Of Manila, except near Caloo-
can, where the enemys sharpshooters
continue to annoy our troops at COM
paratively close range. One man Of the
Twentieth Kansas Volunteers was
killed in Erequina village, which was
burned last night, and four were
wounded in the skirnish, one of the
idaho, one of the Minnesota and two of
the Pennsylvania volunteer regiments.
