To BE Replaced by Prince Henry on
Account of His Actions

To BE Replaced by Prince Henry on
Account of HIS Actions.
Berlin, March Ga high official of the
German navy department has informed the
correspondent here of the Associated Press
that the appointment of Prince Henry of
Prussia, brother of Emperor William, to
the command of the East Aslatic squad
ron has been considered for months past
and was finally decided upon as being the
most available, the Emperor desiring TO
show the American people that he is
thoroughly friendly to them, knowing that
Prince Henry is popular In the United
States.
When the official referred TO was asked
whether the appointment was equivalent
to the disgrace of Admiral Won Deidrichs,
he said:
mot exactly. If Admiral Won Diederichs
had shown more tact last summer before
Manila it would undeniabfy have been
productive of good results all around. Our
government. unfortunately was advised
too late of a number of occurrences before
Manila, none of which was really impor-
tant; but they showed grave want of tact
upon Admiral Won Diederichs' part. The
main trouble was that Admiral Won Died
richs was insufficiently informed regarding
international naval usages In such deli
cate situation. Consequently he continued
navaf movements, drill and searchlight
practice as If elsewhere than in a blockad-
ed port, thus arousing dlstrust on the part
of the Americans"
The above is important as being the first
German official admission that there has
been trouble between Germans and Ameri-
cans in Manila bay

tillery, $500 men in all are under orders
TO proceed to Manila at the earliest op
portunity. These achievements. which
will go to the archipelago under an order
issued by the war department last week,
complete the roll of troops so far as now
contemplated for service in the islands,
and are as follows:
The Sixth United States Infantry. now
at San Antonio; the Ninth United States
Infantry, at Madison barracks the Thir-
teenth. United States Infantry. at Fort
Cook and neighboring points; the Twenty
first Infantry, at Plattsburg, N. Y, and
the Sixth United States Artillery, now
scattered along the Atlantic coast at a
number of points.
The date of departure has not yet been
fixed, but they are expected TO be at Ma
Mia by May 10. If the conditions are sat
isfactory when they reach Manila, 1t is
likely that corresponding number of
volunteers may be brought home.

1ctpafinH IN ADVANCE.
Manila, March 6, p. m.-The civn mem
bers of the United States Philippine COM
mission, who arrived here on Saturday af-
ternoon from Hong Kong on the United
States cruiser Baltimore. landed to-day,
and are now installed in quarters especially
provided for them on the Malate water
front.
While awaiting the arrival of Col.
Charles DENLY FORMER United States min
ister 10 Chlnal the other civil members of
the commission win devote their time to
sightseeing and getting familiar with To-
cal conditions. Until Coz. DENLY arrives the
commission will be incomplete and can do
nothing officiaily.
The troops which arrived on Saturday on
the United States transport Senator, and
those that arrived yesterday on the trans
port Ohio are disembarkng, and all the
preparations are being made to proceed
with an aggressive campaign before the
wet season sets in.
The rebels, anticipating the American ad-
vance, are throwing up defenses In every
direction and it is reported that they are
levying men and supplies in every prov
ince. As a result great dissatisfaction
prevails among the tribes ordinarily un-
friendly 10 the Tagalos, particularly
among the Ilocanos who assert their de-
sire to assist in conquering the Tagalos,
If furnished with arms.
The following order has been issued re-
gardlng the movements Of transports:
1.-The Arizona will sail for San Francisco
via Hong Kong, with all the sick on
March 8; the Newport via Nagasaki, ia
pan, with all the returning officers and
their wives on March 10; the Scandla via
Nagasaki, with discharged soldiers on
March II. and the Morgan City via Nagas-
ak. on March IT,
The rebels have been concentrating in
the vicinity of the reservoir. To-day a
patrol of Company G. Second Oregon, was
taken in ambush. Two men were wound
ed, but the Oregonians held their ground
under heavy fire until the remainder of
the company, assisted by two companies
of the First Nebraska Regiment, fanked
the enemy, killing thirty and wounding
several more.
Two battalions of the Twentieth Regu-
lar Infantry have reinforced Gen. Hale's
brigade.
All the native huts have been destroyed
at Mariquina. and the country there is
pretty wei cleared, but the rebels were
returning in small bodies at sundown
Apparently they have secured a new
supply of smokeless ammunition recently,
as there has been a noticeable difference
during the last few days.
The Spanish commissioners who are en-
deavoring to secure the release of the
Spanish prisoners in the hands of Agul-
naldo, have returned to Malolos to offer
81, coo, coo for their release As Aguinaldo
has been demanding 100000, IL is not

KIPLING'S DAUGHTER DEAD.
THE FATHER NOT APPRAISED OF
HIS DEEP MISFORTUNE.

ried on by the Same MnIady which
Had the Famous Author in Its
Grasp-Mr. kipIing Much Better
and Improving Rnpidly-Mrs. Kip
Iing's Request of the Newspaper
Men.
New York, March 6.-Josephine Kipling,
the six-year-old daughter of Rudyard Kip.
ling, and the Oldest Of his three children,
died shortly after o'clock this morning
from pneumonia.
The child's death took place at the home
of Miss Julio DeForest in this city Miss
DeForest is a friend of the Kiplings, aud
Josephine had been taken to her home
so that she could be nursed apart from her
father.
The girl became i'll the day after Mr..
Kipling took TO his bed. The doctors dis
covered that the disease was the same as
that which had brought her father to
deaths door. She had all the attention
and all the skill employed TO save the life
of her father. Dr.. Conland the Kipling
family physician, came down from Brat
tleboro, VI, and with DR.. Janeway sue
ceeded in wardlng off the evil effects of
the disease until to-day.
Elsie, the 3-year-old daughter of the
author, who Is sick In an out-of- the-way
apartment In the hotel, is doing nicely,
according to the report of Mr. Doubleday.
In all probability the body of lltte
Josephine viii be taken to the Kipling
home in Vermont for burial, but no def
mite arrangements have yet been made. 1t
was decided not to inform the author of
his child's death for several days.
II was said at the hotel this morning
that Mrs. Klpling has not been allowed In
her husbands room for nearly week,
notwithstanding the general understand
ing that she has been at his bedside daily.
The following bulletin was issued at 230
O'clock p. M:
Mr.. Kipling has done well during the
last twenty-four hours. Now that reso-
luton is almost complete, he has some dis
comfort from the more free management
of the lungs due to the greater rubbing OF
the infamed pleura This is a very COM
mon accompaniment to pneumonia. The
next bulletin will not be issued until We'd
nesday. (Signed) f. G. Janeway.
Theodore Durham" ="
Mr.. Doubleday, at 1880 o'clock, said:
Mr.. Kipling has had a splendid day;
that is, a comfortable day, He Is be-
ginning gradually to take nourlshment of
a more substantial kind. OF course, he
has the appearance Of man who has
been at the point of death, and his mind
works very slowly. He has not been tod
OF his daughter, Josephine's, death. Elsie
has been somewhat better to-day, and /
think she is well on the road to recovery .
Then, referring to a slip in his hand, he
said;
After talking the matter over with me,
Mrs. Kipling decided to make this request
to the newspapers: 1t is Mrs. Kiplng's
earnest wish that all matters connected
with the funeral of her daughter, Joseph
Inc, may be entirely private. She appre-
ciates the fact that information concern
ing Mr.. Kip.ing is of public interest, but
this sorrow is her own, and she feels sure
that newspaper reporters and editors will
not wish to intrude upon her privacy"

JUST 4 LITTLE BRIBERY.
Utah Committee Did Not Find
Enough TO Fuss About.

Salt Lake, Utah. March. 6--The legisla-
tive investigating committee submitted a
majority and minority report to the Joint
assembly this afternoon.
The majority report is signed by Sena-
tor Whitney and Representatives Stewart,
Mansfield, Cummings and Sorensen. The
minority report is signed by Senators
Shurtleff and Howell. The findings of
the majority report are as follows
J. In the matter of charges of bribery
preferred by Representative Law against
A. w. McCune, we find after the most
careful consideration that the charge is
not sustained by the evidence.
3 In the Sloan -Nebecker case we find
that the said r. w Sloan improperly ap-
preached Senator w. c. Nebecker, for the
purpose OF securing his (Nebeckers) sup
port for Mr. McCune. but the evidence did
not establish an attempted bribery or
other public offense,
g. In The Ivins-Jaekson case, the evil
dence Is not sufficient 20 justify the con-
clusion that any attempt was made TO Sc
cure by improper means, Mr.. Jackson's
vote. We believe that Mr.. Jackson, in
This matter. labored under an honest. but
mistaken impression.
L. The evidence in the Cook-Farr mat
ter is so remote that we deem 1t irrele-
want 10 any Issue under considerations
The Lapische charge-a supplemental
case--is one in which the evidence bearing
upon the statement made, Is not sufficient
TO warrant the finding OF an attempted
bribery or other public offense.
In conclusion we record our emphatic
lisapproval OF the methods of conducting
senatorial campaigns.
The specific findings In the minority re-
l4Ff 10 fGn nf
money, attempt to secure the vote of Law
and that Sloan sought by improper means
to secure the vote of Nebecler for Nc

Their Trade in China.

Their Trade In China.
Washington, March 6-The United
States government has remained abso-
lutely passive throughout the execution Of
the italian project to secure an "open
door" on the Chinese coast through the
acquisition of San Nun bay ana outlying
Islands.
Some days ago United States Minister
Conger at PelSln acquainted the state de-
partment with the fact that Italy had pre-
ferred a request upon China for a lease
of the spot selected, but he has made no
report since, and It is not known officially
whether OF not the Italian forces have
been landed at San Nun. one of the
highest authorities to-day said;
"rhe government Of the United States
will not take any steps In regard TO the
italian demand for the cession Of Chi
nese territory"
In other words, our government, resist
ing from motives of broad policy, alluring
inlmatons from other Powers to the ef-
feet that the time is ripe for q raid by
the United States on some part of the Chi
nese coast line, has determined definitely
TO keep hands off. But one motive could
iuuuce inc government 10 cnaHBe tflS poll
icy, and that would be a desire to protect
our enormously valuable commerce with
China from the danger of being complete
ly cut off through the gradual extension
Of the leaseholds Of European nations over
the whole Chinese sea coast So long as
our trade is let alone, or is, at least, al
lowed fair opportunity for development,
and is not made the subject Of discrimn-
alton. so long will the United States gov
ernment refrain from any interference IN
Chinese affairs.

sMYTHE OFFERS A REWARD.
some Contradictory Evidence in the
PInckney Case.


Charleston, s. c., March 6-The Pinek-
ney inquest was resumed to-day. The
sensational testimony given by the negro.
McFan, had all the town agog yesterday.
Hundreds OF people spent Sunday at the
scene Of the murder. measuring distances
and heated.y arguing out their own par
ticular theories McFal had testified that
the shots he saw came from the top Vf
the church yard fence. To-day DR.. May
bank swore that the balls which made
Pinciney's wound went straight through
the body and could not possibly have been
fired from so great an elevation
Miss Pregnall, who lives In house di-
rectly across from the spot where Pinck-
ney fell, swore that she was awakened by
the firing, and that she saw two men run
down Pitt street from the wounded man.
Miss Pregnall Is the best witness who has
yet been on the stand and her testimony
substantiates in every particular the
statements made by Pinckney himself ana
his friends.
A number Of minor witnesses were also
examined.
Mayor Smythe to-day offered a reward
of $500 for the detection of the murderers.
So far from abating, public interest ia tbs
