Accordingly the court finds that the

beef of commerce.; that there WAS no
more neglect than was incident to the
hurried preparation for the war: that

LUNA ACTED WITHOUT AU-
THORIrY.
London, April 29.-AIembers of the
Filipino junta here made the statement
to the Associated Press correspondent
to-day that the peace negotiations be-
tween the United States authorities at
Manila and General Luna were unoffi-
eiai iif-eifss i-fsf+sttaf General The

inaldo's government. 1t is further as
serted by the junta that secret nego-
tiations between Dean c. Worcester, of
the United es-Philippine commits
sion, and representative of Aguinaldo
nave been In progress since before the
attack on Malolos.
CONDITIONS PREVIOUSLY PRO-
POSED.
The following conditions it is alleged
were proposed after the capture Of Ma
lolCs:
The Americans to issue a proclama-
ton granting the Filipinos self govern
ment and political, civil and religious
rights, similar to those enjoyed by the
people of Canada: the Filipinos to con-
troll International, mercantile relations;
americans and Filipinos to enjoy equal
rights in the islands; Manila to remain
IN the possession Of the United States
until Congress decides otherwise; the
american flag to lily over the capitols of
islands, and in the most proninens
positions along Wit.i the Filipino tag.
except ut Manila. where only the Amer
lean flag shall ny all vessels To ny
the American flag with that of the Fiji
pinos; the Roman Catholic clergy to be
under the same administration, as in

rection and intervention to he abolish
ed; the statue quo of rural property be-
longing TO the religious orders TO he

orders, to be handed over 10 the gov

Opinion is divided regarding the practi-
cabilfty and the desirability of the pro-
posed national forest reserve in the
northern part of Minnesota. Physicians
and sportsmen who are interested in the
project which has just taken definite
shape assert that the plan aside from its
sentimental side has great possibilities.
The region included in the project as
planned embraces practically all the head
waters of the Mississippi river at its
source, and those of the Bowstring, in
the valley of Hudson bay. AS Col.
Cooper, one of the leaders in the move
ment, puts il, lit is in its location, alti-
tude, native forests of balsamic trees.

for a great national park, where the
plain people of our country can find
health, recreation and enjoyment in their
annual outings. And it contains the last
great stretches of native forests still left
which are accessible to the centers of
population

thing" declares Plat B. Walker Sr.

The first requisite is a proper court
which must cost at least 81, goo. The work
mon now erecting the court here for
Mrs. Vanderbilt have set out to use up
that much money and will probably do
so. The court is very similar to hand
ball court, i long hall with solid wooden
floor. ceiling and walls against which
small ball is batted by the players.
In "fves,' as the English play it, the
bail is struck with the open hand, but
that is too severe exercise Tor Newport
society, and accordingly the regulation
tennis racquet will be used. That is where
squash differs from Eyes" Around
three sides of the room d small gallery
is built for the spectators, who are eX-
pected to applaud clever plays, espe-
cially if they are made by Mrs Wander
bilt. Little is known of the Intricacies
OF the game, because 1t has not been
played much in this country and then
under cover, as it were, in the courts to
which the public is not admitted. There
are usually two players at a time, each
operating in her own territory and sepa-
rated from one another by a line on the
fioor. One, known as the server, smites
the ball with the racquet so it will strike
the wall within a certain boundary The
other player catches the ball on the
bound and returns it against the wall
and thus the game goes on until the ball
falls to the floor. High up on the walls
surrounding the court are little windows
protected by wire netting. If the ball
strikes one of these the play Is 'out -
and this is also the case if the bail strikes
a certain band Of sheetiron surrounding
the court high on the wall.
