The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1899-05-17

Randolph county almost became
tangled up in fight over the county
seat the first of this week. The two
towns of Beverly and Elkins we're
arming themselves and in the act of
beginning hostilities when these
were happily averted.
Elkins wants the court house as
the circuit court had given it to
them as result of the election held
in ninty-six. This had been in the
supreme court several times on one
phase or another. Elkins has finally
won and they had started to take
the records away.
Beverly made up its mind to re-
sist this move to the last and great
deal of bloodshed would have fol-
lowed. Entertainments were thrown
up at Beverly and People guarded
them all night long. Elkins people
began to arm to move on the breast
works when cooler counsel prevailed
and the parties agreed to take an
other appeal to the supreme court
and wait until it was decided before
any further move was made.
In the meantime Beverly holds
the court house and tue chances are
that there will be no fight for some
time yet.

ROOSEVELT WILL INVESTIGATE E

New York, May 22.-The motion to
make permanent the writ obtained last
week by Major Clinton II. Smith of the
list regiment, to prohibit the examining
board appointed by the governor from
examining into the moral character and
general fitness of Major Smith, was
argued today before Justice Beach. In the
Supreme court. Col. Alex Bacon ap-
peared for Major Smith and John FL.
Coyne, assistant attorney general. for Gov
ernor Roosevelt and the board of examin-
alton. In Major Smiths motion 1t is
argued that the only allegation against
him is neglect of duty on the day Of the
battle of Santiago while he wss in com
mand of volunteer regiment In the
United States army. 1t is claimed that
| the alleged neglect was committed in a
| foreign country, outside the bounds of
New York state, in q military organiza-
tion not under the control Of the National
Guard of the state of New York and that
therefore the National Guard has nc
authority to INQUIRE into the matter
which should have been the subject of q
United States army court martial, If
tried at all, and that the honorable dis
| charge given by the war department dis
poses OF the case.
Governor Roosevelt in his answer ex-
pressly denies the slightest desire to op'
press Major Smith or to do him anyth ing
| but exact justice, bUt maintains the
| legal right to investigate as proposed.

Filipino Commissioners On Exhibition

Manila. May 23, 1.20 p. m.-The con-
ference between the civilian members of
the United States Philippine commission
and the representatives of the Filipinos
continues.
The military and civil elements of the
American commission differ regarding
the wisdom Of continuing the confer
ences, the former adhsring to their origi-
nal demand for the unconditional sur
render of the insurgents.
There is much comment here on the

| c5 edingly gratifying to them. They are

| houses where they have been entertained
and have had every opportunity to ad-

| Military sentiment disapproves of the
| Fillipinos being liOuized by the civilian
| element. General Otis from antebellum

make the Filipinos save that they lay

army believes that If We intend to remain
In the Philippine islands 1t will be
cheaper in the long run to whip the in
surRents SO thoroughly that they will be

terms which they would construe as a
compromise. The army Is also of the
opinion that while the first course may

effectual damper upon future insurrec-
tion. Whereas, II the war Is ended by a
compromise the professional revolution

pino Army.

Manila, May a5-6.15 p. m.-Rosario,
a Filipino congressman. wealthy resident
of..Manila and formerly Aguinaldo's COM
missary general, accompanied by an in

desire to surrender our persons and prop.
erty into the hands of the Americans.
The surrender was arranged by Chap
lain Pierce of the l4th regiment. who
knew Rosario before the war. The latter
corresponded in cipher with Gen. Luna,
so he has been CLOSELY watched by the
officers at TarlAc since the insurrectiOn
has been weakening. Rosario only escaped
by persuading Gen. Luna to send him on
secret mission to Manila for the purpose
of.collecting funds. With the captain,
ten men and their families, Rosario trav-
ellesi at night throught this swamps and
mountains. passed the lines of both
armies and entered Manila yesterday
evening. He has been liberated on
parole.
According to the story told by Rosario,
Gen. Luna Is absolute dictator, and
Aguinaldo fears him. Every Filipino
leader, 1t is added, suspects the others of
treaohery.
.The recent meeting ofIthe Filipino con-
gress was to secure = new cabinet and the
question Of peace was not formally con-
sidered ns the members feared Gen. Lu-
mas displeasure. The Filipino govern
ment was unable to secure secretary Of

Major Bell, with two companies of the
aurth cavalry, has been reconnoitering

found hundred FiIEpinos there and was
driving them away when large kreinforce-
ments Of rebels arrived and he was
obliged to withdraw with four men
wounded. A raft loaded with soldiers of

her way to New York from Southampton,
by way of Cherbourg, France, left here
on two special trains this morning.
The weather continues favorable to the
stranded ship. A light wind Is blowing
and there is no serious amount OF wash {.
Soundings which have been taken show
the Paris to be resting more favorably,
owing TO the fact that abe has been CON-
siderably liRhtened.
high official of the American line
says the prospects Of saving the Paris
are more hopeful than ever, and there is
little doubt that she will be successfully
towed of.
Later in the day diver reported that
the Paris has sustained heavy damages
from her bow to a point seventy five feet
aft But he thinks the principal damage
Is inside the double bottom.
