Alger Says He Will Continue In the
Cabinet.
CONFIRMS SOME REPORTS
DUTIES WILL NOT INTERFERE
WITH SENATORIAL RACE.
Governor Pingree Is Staunch McKin-
ley Man-Says He Has Not Re
ceived Cablegram From Otis In
timating His Inability to Con-
quer Filipinos With Present Force

Washington, June 25.-Secretary AL
ger returned to the city tonight, after
an absence of three weeks. He says he
has enjoyed his outing very much and
he appears to be benefited by the
change.
To callers at his house during the
evening, the secretary talked freely re-
senatorial honors and of the printed
statement of the probability of his
leaving the cabinet because of his al
lance with Governor Pingree, who. it
has been stated. is opposed to the adj
ministration of President Mckinley. He
made it plain to his questioners that he
did not propose to resign on this &C
count, as he does not consider his can
didacy for the senate any reason why
he should not continue his position as
member of the cabinet. Governor
Pingree, the secretary added. is for
President Mckinley first, last and all
the time.
During his absence from the city, the
secretary has been kept fully informed
OF all dispatches which have been re-
ceived from General Otis regarding the
situation in the Philippines. He was
not prepared to say anything tonight
Tor publication respecting what if any,
increase is to be made to the troops I'M
der General Otis command; that mat
ter will be talked over with the presi-
dent as soon as he returns to Washing
ton from his New England visit
The secretary, in conclusion. said he
had no knowledge of a dispatch alleged
to have been received from General Otis
in which that officer intimated his in
ability to conquer the Filipinos with the
force under his command, and that he
would be obliged to abandon the ground
already taken unless reinforcements
were quickly sent. All dispatches from
General Otis were forwarded to him.
he said, and he had seen nothing of the
kind mentioned.

volvers, wounding Policeman Ortega-

Senior Frias. the mayor; the Cuban
General Esquerra and Major Bowman,
commanding the Americans, rode
through the crowd. begging the peo-
pie to restrain themselves and order
ing the troops to stop. Their attempts
were finally successful. The corporal
in charge of the pickets says he did not
give an order to fire, but people who
were near insist that they heard him
give such a command.
Indignation runs high, but there is no
fear of further trouble. The offending
officers have been locked up.

TALK OF A SETTLEMENT.
South Africa Reported to Be Making
Effort For NEGOTIATIONS.

London, June 25.-The firm attitlde
of Great Britain appears to have the
disired effect on the Transvaal cOmpli-
cations. The latest cablegram from
South Africa talk of various semi
official missions for negotiations be-
tween Cape Town, Bloemfontein and
Pretoria, aiming to arrage a franchise
compromise on a basis of five or six
years past residence.
President Kruger is represented as
agreeable TO some arrangement. but is
finding considerable difficulty in
handling his own conservative ele-
ments. In d reported interview. he is
alleged to have said regarding the war
ruTnorS that mountains were being
made out of mole hills and that he was
firmly convinced that Queen Victoria
would never allow letting loose the
dogs of war over South Africa.

COLLIDED WITH ICEBERG.
British Armed sloop Damaged Off
Newfoundland.

st. Johns, n. F.. June 25.-The British
armed sloop Buzzard. while trying to
reach the French treaty shore on Fri
day collded with an iceberg which
stove in her bows. BY means of COLI
sion mats and moving her guns and heavy
gear to the stern. she made her way back
here safely She will be locked tomor-
row.
At the time of the accident perfect dis
cipline existed on board and prompt
preparations were made to leave the ship
should it prove impossible to keep her
above water. 1t was seen, however. that
the damage was not serious enough TO
endanger the vessel.

Chagrined at Failure.

Chagrined as the Stone people are at the
failure of the combination promptly TO
effect the nomination of their candidate.
1t is not believed they can, in a spirit of
revenge, bring about the nomination of
Hardin. They threatened to try this
when Goebel showed such surprising
strength on the first ballot and went so
far as to start stampede. but Goebel's
nerve and GOODNESS checkmated II. On
the other hand. the Hardin people cannot
throw their strength solidly to Stone, for
they are divided in the matter of sec
ond choice. and. as was the case yester-
day. many would go to Goebel in case of
a break.
A noteworthy feature of the contest is
the Hardin campaign. Coming into the
convention with a hundred votes short of
a majority of the delegates. beaten at
every point in the temporary organization
and weakened by adverse decisions by
the credentials committee. involving
scores of seats, the Hardin managers.
with consummate cleverness, jumped into
the. fight when the game seemed lost.
withdrew the name of General Hardin
and left Goebel and Stone to fight ii out.
These two fell into the trap and flew at
each other 8 Threats, with the result that
Goebel and Stone had split and Hardin
on the last ballot stood high in recorded
votes.
Meanwhile. the three-cornered fight
grows warmer, and the delegates. who
have spent nearly a week trying to nOmi-
nate a state ticket. may yet have to look
outside the trio now occupying the ring
to find leader upon whom thew can
unite.
A conference lasting until long after
midnight was held in the rooms of
John S. Rhea, at Seifert's hotel be-
tween the StonS and Hardin managers,
the object being to agree upon some
plan to defeat Goebel. The conference
was still in session at 2 a. m. and is
said to have made considerable pro-
gress in the direction of a. new COM
bination. These two candidates to-
gether received a majority of the
votes of the convention on the last
ballot and may be able to bring about
nomination if they can get together.

London, June 26.-The correspondent

Count Munster, the head of the German
delegation, has received Prince Hohen-
lohe's instructions, and Germany will
withdraw her objections to the estab-
lishment of a court of arbitration. pro-
vided the obligatory clauses are eX-

not expect a majority for their disar-
mament proposals, which are not adj
Vanced seriously.

Matters That Are Engaging Atten-
tiOn of Peace Conference.
PROPOSALS BY RUSSIA
QUESTION OF THE EXEMPTION
OF PRIVATE PROPERTY.
Has Entered Upon New Stage
Through Issue of the Statement
of American Delegates-Better to
Destroy Property Than Lives An
Argument Advanced.

London, June 25.-The correspondent
of the Times at The Hague says:
Following is the text of Russia S
naval proposal:
''Acceptation of the principle that for
the term of three years the Eum of
naval budgets shall be determined with
an engagement not to increase the total
during that triennial period, and with
an obligation of announcing in advance
for that said period:
First, the total in tonnage of those
ships of war which it is proposed to
build, without specifying the models
thereof; second, the number of officers
and crews in the navy; and third, the
expenditures on works and ports, such
as forts. docks, arsenals and the like
The question of the exemption Of pri-
vate property at sea from capture in
time of war has entered on a new stage
through the issue OF the statement of
the American delegates. I hear on good
authority that a certain foreign power
may extend the discussion to the dec
laration of Paris, with a view to get
ting rid of one feature which is not con-
sidered advantageous.
The first half of the voluminous paper
is merely summary of past action on
the part of the United States in the
Property of Citizens.
Private property of all the citizens
or subjects of the signatory powers,
with the exception of contraband of
war. shall be exempt from capture or
seizure on the high seas or elsewhere
by the armed vessels or by the military
forces of any of the said signatory
powers, but nothing herein contained
shall extend the exemption from seizure
to vessels and their cargoes which may
attempt to enter a port blockaded by
the naval forces of any of said powers.
The American delegates, referring to
the fact that the circular of Count
Muravieff excludes extraneouS matters,
saw:
THE fact of our having received the
instructions herein referred to from the
president of the United States shows
that our government believed that the
scope of the conference was wide
enough to include this question
They urge as an argument that their
proposal, if adopted as a rule of war,
would ameliorate the hardship of naval
warfare. but it has been conclusiVely
proved by experience in past wars that
the destruction of sea-borne commerce
is one of the most humane ways of re-
ducing the power of an enemy. AS
great thinker once observed, IL is better
to destroy mems property than their
lives.
For the moment the question is whe-
Their the subject is one which can. con-
sistentIy with the terms of the Mura-
vieff circular, be submitted to the con-
ference. 1t seems scarcely probable
that the matter will be solved in
sense favorable to the American pro-
posal. At all events some of the lead
ing delegates consider it outside the
of the conference.

Kentucky Democrats as Far Apart
As Ever.
OUTLOOK IS UNCHANGED
LITTLE PROBABILITY OF A NOM
NATION TODAY.
Looks Now as If Convention Would
Have to Go Outside of Warning
Trio to Find Candidate For Gov
ernor Upon Whom They Can
Unite.

Louisville. KY. June 25.-Up to a late
hour tonight there is no sign of an agree
ment between any tow of the Democratic
candidates for governor and it seems
likely that the first ballot taken when the
convention meets tomorrow morning will
result just about as did the eleventh on
Saturday night.
Candidates and their managers have
been on the go all day, out of one con-
ference into another but so far to no
purpose. The 1.092 delegates in the con-
vention are divided so evenly that there
Is not a difference of thirty votes in the
strength of the three candidates, Stone.
Goebel and Hardin. But of these, Goebel
is the strongest because of the soliditv
of his support. He controls his follow
ing absolutely, and can vote them for
himself or throw them to either of h.
opponents at will. Neither Stone nor
Hardin can do this. and for that reason
neither is in position to make advan-
tageouS terms.
There has been break in the Stone
Geobel combination since balloting began.
caused primarily by the action of Goehels
managers in voting the seventy votes of
Louisville Solidly for the Kenton county
leader on the first ballot. The Stone peo-
pie say their understanding was that the
vote was to be divided equally between
Stone and Geobel, but the latter, it is
said produced a written agreement COW
ering the combination of the two forces
up TO a temporary organization. but con-
tanning no mention of the Louisville dele
cation.
