San Francisco. March 1.-The Even
Ing Post publishes sensational article
giving what purports to be some OF the
inside history OF a triple alliance which
1t claims has been formed between
Germany, France and Russia for the
purpose Of impeding the expansion
policy OF the United States, but more
particularly to undermine the increas-
ing power of the United States in the
Philippines.
The Post claims its informant has
Just returned from Germany, where he
had entree into the highest diplomatic
circles, and he tells the following story:
Germany is planning great coup
d'etat that not only means the acquisi-
ton OF the Philippine islands by that
government, but the defeat of the
American policy of territorial expan-
sion. A German officer told me that
Russia and France had been drawn in to
combination OF the three powers, and
that Russia is getting all the ships pos
sible into the Pacific without exciting
attention; that Germany is negotiating
with Argentine and Chile for the pur-
chase of three war vessels from each
government. These last vessels will be
manned by German officers and men,
and will rendezvous at the Marshall
islands.
when the proper time comes, the
combined fleets Of Germany Russia and
France will take possession of the Phil
ippines under the pretext of restoring
order and protecting the citizens and
interests of those countries. The only
feature to operate against this plan, it
is argued, will be ths--nction of Eng
land, and to combat this the attention
OF Great Britain will be taken up else
where"

CARRIED DUMMY GUNS.
Surprising Discovery Made In Capture of
Filipinos

New York, Feb. 2s.-A cablegram
from Manila says: A surprising dis
covery was made when the insurgents
captured on the skirmish line were
brought in. 1t was found that many
Of them were armed with dummy RI
fies, there being about three dummies
to every Mauser. This bluff made by
the du mmies having been discovered,
the secret of the apparently excellent
equipment of the insurgents has been
revealed. 1t was source Of wonder to
General Otis where arms could have
come from.
Consul-General Wildman has insisted
that he has effectually suppressed the
shipping of rifles and ammunition from
HoDgkong, and confirmatory evidence
Of this has not been wanting, but in
spite of all this armed bodies Of insur-
gents, carrying equipment seemingly
of the frst-class, have been seen fire.
quently.
If the ratio of dummy guns to eff
fective arms found on the captured in
surgents holds good in the entire in
surgent army, then the actual fighting
strength of the Filipinos does not
amount to much, although it must be
admitted that they are improving re-
markedly in their Workmanship.

Washington, March 1.-After a con-
test that will be memorable in the
history of the senate, the compromise
army reorganization bill was passed.
Mr.. German of Maryland insisted that
his amendment providing that the
army should not be increased perma-
nently, or beyond July /, 1901, be in
corporated in the measure. For sew
eral hours 1t appeared probable that
his insistence at least would throw the
bill over and perhaps defeat it. An
agreement was reached finally, how
ever, and Mr.. Germans amendment, in
a slightly modified form, was accepted.

CUBANS MADE HAPPY
ASSURED THAT THEY WILL CE

At . Banquet Given in Honor of General
Gomez, the American Oncers Explain
to the People Their Mis-
sion to Cubs.

Havana. Feb. 2s.-The banquet a
the Tacon theater Saturday evening
proved brilliant success. Cubans
generally regard the occurrences at tn;
fuction as the most promising auguirei
of Cuban independence since the peace
protocol was signed. The theater was
crowded to overlooking with spectators
and more than 200 covers were laid fol-
the banqueters.
Besides Governor General Brooke and
l. General Lee the company included Ma
jor General Ludlow, General Chaffee
the governor generals chief Of staff,
the stats Of Generals Lee and Ludlow
and other army and navy officers, to-
gether with many prominent citizens
and Havana officials. General Andrade
sat on the right of General Gomez, and
Mayor Coste on his left.
The boxes were filed with people
representing Havana's best society
Among the speakers were Senior Pc
dro Lorento, Colonel Carlos Garcia,
Cualbeerto Gomez and DR.. Lanuza, Sec
rotary of the department of justice.
The tendency of all speeches was to-
ward independence for Cuba, with
eulogy Of General Gomez and asser-
tions that he must meyer more leave the
island.
The spectators called vociferously for
speech from Major General Lee His
remarks and those of General Brooke
were translated for the benefit of the
assembly by Senior Pablo Devernines'
secretary Of the department of finance.
Both the American generals repeated
former statements of the military adj
ministration, chiefly along the line of
assurance that the United States in
tended to establish stable government
In the island and then to deliver it to
the Gu bans themselves. The assurances
were vociferously applauded
Colonel Garcia explained the disin-
terest in the position of American mil
itary officers in Cuba
General Gomez himself did not speak,
owing to the hoarseness from which
he is suffering.

The cablegram from Admiral Dewey
asking for the Oregon was received
with surprise by the officials here. No
one knew, or at least would admit that
he knew, the nature of the political
reasons which the admiral says demand
the immediate presence of the peerless
battleship. The cablegram was taken
to che cabinet board and fully discussed
there. The admiral it is said, possibly

looking to the prevention of any pos
sible Intervention or interference by
European powers in the struggle now
in progress in the neighborhood of
Manila.
1t is believed that in the big fires
much property of foreign residents and
business concerns were destroyed.
That these fires were caused by the
insurgents cannot be denied, and it
may be that some of the foreign naval
commanders in the east are disposed to
rise upon the pretext that their inter
ests demand protection which we can
not afford them, to make a landing or

States, and likely to encourage the
With such strong naval force as

there could not be any sound reason,
nor even a plausible reason, for any
such action on the part of third

The Oregon arrived at Honolulu on
the 5th inst. Assuming that the battle
ship needed ten days repairs, she
should have started away from Homo
ulu on her long run to Manila on the
18th inst. Allowing for detention on
account of coaling at Guam or some
'ther point between Honolulu and Ma
lila, it is estimated that the Oregon
would reach Manila about the 10th of
March.

A California pine tree whose seed
cones can only be opened by fire or
great heat has been attracting consid-
cradle attention at Kew Gardens, Lon
don. 1t seems, however, that this tree,
pinus muricata, is not alone in its
salamander-like requirements, for a
former Australian living in London
writes as follows TO the London Mail:
"The waffle tree of Australia acacia

culiarity and its seeds will only ger
inmate when subjected to great heat.
Soaking the seeds of this tree in boiling
water or roasting them in frying pan
for some hours has been tried and found
successful, but all other methods have
failed. After the seed has fallen from
the tree It will often lie dormant in
the ground for years, but Immediately
a bush fire comes along and reduces all
the parent trees 10 ashes las Is often the
case in Australia), the seed germinates
and perfect forest Of young trees will
spring up within 12 months. Even on

these trees have been noticed TO grow
up after bush fire. The waffle tree be-
ing very susceptible to Ere, is easily
killed, and if the same means that
caused its destruction did not induce
it to grow again it would very soon be
eradicated."
