WILL TEND THEIR OWN DEAD.
Confederates Not All in Favor of McKin-
Iey's Atlanta Idea.

Charleston. S. C, May 11.-The feat
ures of the Confederate veterans reun-
ion here yesterday were the eloquence Of
Gen. Gordon's opening speech as well as
its patriotism, his hugging of Mrs. Jack
son, widow of the great 'Stonewall,"
and opposition to President McKinley's
proposal that the nation should care for
the Confederate dead. Gordon evoked
tremendous applause when he took the
great southern soldiers widow in his
arms and embraced her.
At the business meeting resolution
was introduced accepting President Nc
Kinley's Atlanta proposition, and a mo-
ton made that it be adopted. DR.. Jones.
of Virginia. moved to refer it to the
committee on resolutions j. NJ Bushoe.
of North Carolina, made a spirited
speech in which he declared the line
was indelibly drawn between the graves
of the north and south.
The federal government can decorate
the graves of the north. but the graves
of the southern heroes are in the keep
ing of other hands," he shouted, waving
his hands to the boxes, which were filled
with ladief A heated and at times bit
ter discussion followed. The amendment
was finally carried and the resolutions
were referred.

DECIDES AGAINST THE CLAIMS.
Uncle Sam Should Pay Nothing for IIoiIo
Property Destroyed.

New York. May IA special to The
Herald from washington says: Major
General Otis has virtually decided
against the legality of claims for in
demnity filed by residents of Iloilo,
whose property was destroyed during
the operations incident to the capture
of that city on Feb. IL. Claimants who
reside in other countries are advised to
present their claims through the gov
ernments of their respective countries.
The claims, according to information re-
ceived here. are held by persons of vari-
Gus nationalities, including Filipinos,
ard amount to several million dollars.
German subjects, resident at Iloilo,
are said to be among the principal
claimants. In response to these claim
ants, General Otis has addressed to
them a circular letter. copy of which
has reached the war department This let
ter calls attention at the outset to the
fact that the claims presented vary
greatly in their statements and offer no
proof of actual ownership by the
claimant of property destroyed. so that
even if liability of the United States
were conceded, no conclusions could be
reached on the facts as presented.
.aThe letter continues: The claims in
question are not returned for submis-
sion of more complete proof. in the view
that tne OBSTRUCTION OF property dl llOllO,
whether resulting from the acts of the
United States forces or the insurgents.
can furnish no basis of claim for in
demnity as against the United States.
IL being held to be a generally accepted
principle of international law that all
property situated within the theatre of
actual military operations, whether be-
longing to citizens or foreigners, alien
residents or natives, is subject to the
casualties of war. and that no liability
is incurred to indemnify such owners
for the destruction of such property re-
suIting from legitimate belligerent ac-
ton
The general further says that the LA
biIity of the United States to indemnify
owners of the property, even If de-
stroyed in rebellion against this coun-
try, would not exist. The only valid
basis for claims would be the charge
that the destruction resulted from neg
Iect by the United States authorities
and General Otis adds: Such neglect is
not charged. nor can ii be truthfully
alleged

NO TROOPS YET RETURNING.
Only Sick and Wounded Coming Back Oh
Present Transports.


Washington, May lin reply to
Corbin's cable last night regarding
the return of volunteers, Otis replied
this morning: The volunteers un-
derstand that they will begin leaving
for home the latter part of the month.
They know the Importance of their
presence here now and accept the sac
rifice which the government interests
make imperative. The transports re-
turning this week carry sick and
wounded only"
Later Otis cabled the arrival of the
transport Hancock carrying the 21st

1st artillery. today. The health and
condition of the men are excellent

During the afternoon the committee

timony of Albert Heller, manufacturer
of Freezine and Rosaline. used for pre-
servating milk and meats. Previous
witnesses had testified that these were
poisonous Heller denied this en-
phatically, but asked to be heard in
secret IN order that his formulas might
not become public property. Those al
lowed to be present were the two SEN
ators DR.. Wiley and chemist from
Wisconsin. Heller said he was willing
to have the official chemist analyze the
articles and if the committee would
grant his wish for a secret examination
ne was certain he could convince it that
the articles sold by his firm not only
were not Injurious to the health but
were on the contrary, very wholesome.
