PROMISES TO FILIPINoS.
Told That We Were In Philippines
AS Friends Not Conquerers.

Washington, July 26.-It is stated at
the war department that General Otis
his made no communications to the de-
partment regarding the organization of
any provisional governments in the is
lands or provinces, but it is presumed
that he may be doing so, If conditions
warrant.
General Otis is acting under instruc-
tions from the president, dated Dec. q,
1898. These instructions said that the
destruction of the Spanish fleet fol-
lowed by the reduction of Manila, prac-
tically effected the conquest of the
Philippines and, suspension of Spanish
sovereignty. They directed that the
military government of the United
States maintained in Manila be ex-
tended. with all possible dispatch. to
the whole district coded to the United
States by the treaty of peace.
The military commander was direct
ed to announce that I'VE come not as
invaders OF conquerers, but as friends.
Those who submit are to be promised
the lawful rule we have assumed. with
firmness, if need be. but without Sc
verify as far as may be possible"
Suggestions were made as TO the gov
eminent of the ceded territory, and the
rights Of property. taxes, etc. This
letter of the president, together with
the instruction of Secretary Hay to the
Philippine commission, are the basis of
governments which are to be estab-
lished in the Philippines.

WAIT FOR OFFICIAL NEWS.
Nothing Has Been Heard at Wash
ington From Consuls.

Washington. July 26.-No information
was received up to $3.50 o'clock tonight
from the consular representatives of
the United States in Domingo regard
ing the assassination there today of
President HeureauX. Pending official
advices of the assassination. no formal
action viii be taken by this govern
ment. Hon. William F. Powell, the
minister to Hayti. is also charge daft
flares TO SantO Domingo, while this
government is directly represented in
the republic in the person of Camp
bell T. Maxwell. who is consul general,
and John a. Read, who is vice consul.
Officials here recall that attempts
have been made heretofore on the life
of Mr.. HeureauX. Secretary Hay paid
a brief tribute TO the work of the de-
ceased president, saying ne understood
that he had given the country a good
administration.
Secretary Long said that he could
not recall that there were any of the
ships of the United States navy now

charge the prisoner. His attorneys
themselves do not believe it, although
they Will not admit the fact.
Nothing has yet been said about bail
and it Will not be discussed until the
examination is concluded. Then it is
likely that an application will be made.
for Benbrook does not like his home
at the county jail. 1t is within the
discretion of the justice to hold him
for lesser crime than murder in the
first degree, and should he do so he
may receive bail. Otherwise the dis
trict court must consider the matter.
New Witness Testifies.
A new witness came forward at the
examination yesterday He was EX-
pressman Abel, who. from the street in
front of the Merchants cafe at the time
of the shooting, saw struggle in
room l. He could see a man with a
dark suit and another with light suit
graphing each other. Judge Powers,
on cross-eXamination. undertook to
have the witness admit that the man
with the light suit (Benbrook) was
being pushed toward the window, but
Abel could not say whether he was
being pushed or was pulling the other
man.
one very remarkable statement was
that from Miss Mamie Witbeck. cor
roborated by Miss Emma Mathieson,
the young women with Albert Morris,
that they heard no shots. They were
in the next room. with windows open.
and yet they merely heard noises that
sounded like one kicking against a
door.
Albert c. Morris was not examined
at great length. He was placed upon
the witness stand by the prosecution
at the demand OF the attorneys for the
defense. But his story is the same as
he has told during the past few days.
He did not see a shot fired. Morris is
not taken TO kindly by the attorneys
for the prosecution on this account
His contradiction of the testimony of
Witness .Doolan weakens their case.
Attorney Brown was fiercer in cross
examination of him than Judge Pow
ers.
Probably Judge Powers strongest
statement was that If Benbrook was
guilty. Steve Keene and Waiter DAILY
should be held as accessories before the
fact.
Attorney Brown maintained that
Benbreok was guilty of deliberate muir
der: that he had laid in wait for his
victim.
AT the court room. The family of the
dead man. his mother. sisters and
brothers. occupied their accustomed
seats and listened intently 10 every
word of testimony.
Examination Resumed.
Steve Keene was recalled by Judge
Powers for further cross examination.

BOYS DID NOT PARADE.
New York Chief of Police Refused to
Give Them a Permit.

New York, July 26.-The parade of
striking newsboys which was to have
taken place tonight was postponed IN
til tomorrow night. The reason, says
Morris Cohen. the new president of
the Newsboys union, is that Chief
Devery did not sign the permit that
Mayor Van Wyck granted. The chief
claimed the six hours notice which
under the law, he is entitled to, the
boys did not give him, and he con-
sidered he has not had sufficient time
to make the necessary police arrange
mentS.
The parade is to be headed by band
and carriages and it is thought sew
eral thousand boys will parade. Five
thousand attended a recent mass meet
ing, 1000 coming from Brooklyn.

also Mayor Farley declared that he
would suppress violence if he had to
call out the entire national guard OF
Ohio
A boy was shot by a non-union
conductor, but whether or not the bull
let was an accidental one, the police
have not yet determined. Frank
Wright, a boy thirteen years of age,
was sitting on the front porch of his
home at SO Anandale avenue when an
electric car came along. Although
there was no disturbance in the neigh
borhood at the time, it is stated the
conductor who stood on the front plat
form with his motorman, carried re-
volver in his hand. Suddenly it was
discharged and young Wright gave
cry of pain. The bullet had entered his
right leg just below the groin.
The car ran on to Euclid avenue and
ran into the barn. When the police
arrived the conductor was not to be
found.
