the situation there.
ANXIOUS FOR AMERICAN PROTECTION.
In March General Otis reported that the Span
ish garrison was still maintained In the group.
but this was a temporary arrangement, and the
garrison was expected to retire later. The Sulus
are Mahometans. but they are said TO be the
most favorable TO American authority, and with
proper encouragement they are likely to prove
tractable Both American naval and military
officers In the Philippines have written interest
ingly OF the prospects In this part OF the archi-
pelago. They have been almost unanimous in
their opinion that. although the people were
Mahometans. there were few difficulties in the
way of assimilating them to American institu-

The reports have been uniform in saying that

ton. Spanish authority while never established
throughout the islands. was nominaliy acknowl-

vanced notions of civilization.

PAYING OFF CUBAN TROOPS.
ARSENAL LOOTED BY CUBANs-GUARDs
MAKE SLIGHT RESISTANCE.


MAKE SLIGHT RESISTANCE.
Guanajay Pinar del Rio Province. Cuba. June
13-IAeutenant-Colonel William H. Bsbee
rived here this morning and began paying the
Cuban troops a large number OF whom he found
waiting. They received their share Of the Amerl-
can gratuity with enthusiasm. seeming to be
grateful for an opportunity TO return to their
homes with funds enough TO meet their necessi-
ties.
Colonel Bisbee strictly enforces his rule to
make no payments except to applicants who
bring arms or certificates that they have de-
livered arms to the local authorities Thus far
All weapons have been delivered to the Mayor
Of Guanajay Here. as elsewhere, applicants
have appeared and many OF them. with arms
whose names do not show in the list. and there
are also applicants who have undoubtedly seen
service but do not receive payment because
they do not come within Colonel Bisbees rule.
Among the latter there Is considerable discon-
tent. They say they will send a commission to
General Maxine Gomez to ask his assistance In
establishing their rights as veterans
Last night. before Colonel Bsbee's arrival. a
large party. Knowing that a quantity OF arms
was stored at Callao. decided to secure these
weapons. in order TO enable them to collect their
shares to-day.
Shortly after midnight the policemen who were
guarding the storehouse were surprised by a
man who stopped in front OF the building and
asked TO take away a gun. explaining why he
wanted IT, They refused him and he went away.
but returned In about ten minutes with a strong
party, which rushed the police guard The lat
ter fired and retained their position until their
ammunition was exhausted, when the Cubans,
who were armed with sticks, compelled them 10
submit.
All the members of the party helped them
/ selves generously 10 the arms. General opinion
here is that the police really connved in the
anair, as there were no casualties on either
side and that resistance was merely for effect.
Owing to this disturbance. and to the fact
that large number OF Cubans were concen-
trated here. the Mayor of Guanajay asked Major
Dougherty. commanding the post. to send twen-
~ men TO act as provost guard for the town.
This request was complied with.

NO REGRETS FOR DUPUY.
ALL AGAINST HIS COURSE
WALDEcK- ROUSSEAU SUMMONED


TO PARIS
Paris June 14-Not a single important jour
nal this morning pretends to regret the disap-
pearance Of NJ. Dupuy. while several rejore IN
the hope that he will never hold office again
Such unanimity is almost unprecedented. This
unpopularity, however, does not extend to any
OF his colleagues several OF whom. 1t is hoped
will have seats In the new Ministry.
The crisis is still unsolved, and 1t Is doubtful
whether NJ Poincare has succeeded President
Loubets prediction is for NJ. Waldeck- Rous-
seau who has been summoned to return 10 Paris
az soon as possible from Rom. 1t is more than
likely that he will attain to the Premiership. for
II is believed that NJ. Poincare has no real In
tention OF taking Office. NJ Waldeck- Rousseau
is a stanch defender Of Dreyfus.
Major Carriere the prosecutor In the new
Dreyfus court martial, said he expected the
trial would begin soon and would be searching.
He asserted his intention to summon VI. Cast
mir Perier former President Of the republic;
General Mercier, the Minister Of War at the
time Dreyfus condemned, and all the Min
listers of War since as we'll Esterhazy. The
trial he declared would be free, complete,
loyal and probably public"

NO CASE AGAINST PICQUART.

Paris June 13.-The Chamber Of Indictments
to-day decided that there Ia no case against
Lieutenant Colonel Picquart, charged with for

blois his counsel against whom charges were
also made in connection with the case. The
Judgment OF the court thus finally exonerates
Picauart who was released from prison on June
8 after being nearly year in confinement. as
the court declares the charges against Picquart
and Leblois are entirely Incompatible with the
Judgment recently rendered by the Court OF
