OUR SPANISH WAR SHIP
REINA MERCEDES WILL NOT JOIN
SPANS SUBMARINE NAVY.
She Now Lies Safe in Quarantine mt
Hampton Roads, and Excursion
Boats Are Busy.

NEWPORT NEWS. Va. May 21. - The
Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes arrived in
Hampton. Roads this afternoon at 2:30
o'clock, In tow of the Merritt Wrecking
Company's tugs ]. Merritt and Rescue. and
accompanied by the steamer 8. II. Morgan.
She is now at anchor nearly two miles Off
Old Point Comfort, where she will be held
in quarantine for five days. National Quar-
antine Ofcer Pettus boarded the vessel
this afternoon. but no one from the cruiser
has come ashore. 1t was not deemed neces-
sary to detain the cruiser at Fisherman's
island.
Large crowds from Newport News. Nor
folk and Hampton went to Old Point this
afternoon to see the cruiser, and hundreds
went out to the vessel in launches. Excur-
sion rates which will be made by local trans
portation companies will attract thousands
of visitors to Old Point while the vessel is
there. The Mercedes left Santiago week
ago yesterday and reached Hampton Roads
much sooner than was expected. When she
is released from quarantine she will go 10
the Portsmouth navy yards for repairs.
The voyage was uneventful with the ex-
ception of the very quick time made. There
was no accident nor incident to mar the
trip. The expedition was in charge of Capt.
Merritt, who was aboard the powerful tug
Rescue. and it was due to her pulling ability
the cruiser was not delayed three or four
days longer. Her arrival was heralded by
the boom of cannon on board the monitor
Amphitrite, the training ships Essex and
Alliance and the small cruiser Peoria, all
of which were in the roads Aboard the
Mercedes there are about twenty men of the
Merritt wrecking crew, but DR.. Pettus
would not allow any Of these, nor, IN fact,
anybody from either of the tugs or the
barge TO land, nor was she boarded by any
one save himself. Surgeon General Wyman,
of the United States Marine Service, was
at Old Point, aiding In perfecting quaran-
tine arrangements. but he did not go on
board. nor did Assistant Secretary Wander
lip who was also at Old Point. The tug
Rescue left at once for New York, where
permission to land the crew was refused.
The cruiser will be held at quarantine five
days. All the bedding and mems clothing
will be thoroughly fumigated in the steam
room of the quarantine vessel jamestown,
while the inside of the vessel will be thor
oughly washed out with bi-chloride of mer-
curry.
When the time is out the Mercedes will
come up TO the Norfolk navy yard. Ar
rangements have already been made here to
give a rousing maritime demonstration in
her honor. When she came into the roads
she had flying from her stern two flags, one
representing the country to which she now
belong and the other representing the COM
pany which saved her from the briny deep.

FOR CURRENCY REFORM
THE PLAN OUTLINED BY THE REPVB-
LICAN CAUCUS COMMITTEE.
Greenbacks, when Redeemed for
Gold, Can BE Reigsued Only for
GoId-Other Features.

WASHINGTON. May 2-It Is under
stood that the House Republican caucus
committee appointed TO frame scheme
of currency reform has agreed on a meas
ure along the following lines:
The redemption of all obligations of the
government in gold on demand.
Greenbacks, when once redeemed for gold.
to be reissued only for gold.
Permitting national banks to issue notes
to the par value of their government bonds
deposited in the treasury instead of 30 per
cent. at present.
Permitting the minimum capital OF nation
al banks to be $4,000. instead OF $4,000 as
at present.
This plan is much less comprehensive than
ardent advocates of general currency re-
vision have urged, but was adopted because
harmonious agreement on it was possible,
which was not the case when more radical
measures were suggested.

Is that the Insurgents Desire
an Armistice at Once.

MANILA, May D. a. m.-The Filipino
commissioners who arrived here on Satur-
day to negotiate with the United States
commissioners. held conference this morn
ing with Messrs. Schurman, Worcester and
DENLY. They say that they are without
power to bind the so-called Filipino govern
ment in any particular and can only refer
any results of the present negotiations to
Aguinaldo.
The Filipino commissioners. Gen. Gregorio
Del Pillar, Lieut. Col. Alberto Barretto, Ma
jor Zealeita and Senor Gracio Gonzaga, with
their families, spent to-day in visiting
friends in Manila and conferred with Senors
Florentino Torres, Pablo Ocampo and Teo-
dore Yanco, the members of the local Fill
pino Association, who will participate in the
meeting with the American commissioners.
Senor Torres was a member of Aguinados
committee before the war. He opposes in
dependence and favors autonomy, and he
has been most influential in persuading the
followers Of Aguinaldo to make the present
advances. Autonomy is the burden of the
talk of the Filipinos, and it is thought the
kind they wish for would be little different
from the scheme of an American protec-
torate, which they talked of before the war.
Senior Paterno, who has succeeded the
irreconcilable Mabini as president of the
Filipino so-called cabinet, is student and
writer of ability. He once drew up a plan
Of autonomy under Spain, which the Span
ish government promised to adopt, there
then being troublesome rebellion on foot.
The American commissioners, in studying
the question of Philippine government, have
found several good points in this scheme.
Palermo is now the strong man in Aguinal-
dos party.
All the moDeyed leaders of the insurrection
see that it is hopeless and are anxious for
peace. Those who want money think they
may profit by harassing the Americans
while longer. On the suggestion of Mr..
Schurman. president of the American COM
mission. the local Filipino peace party has
started a new paper.

ARIzONA'S INTERESTS

by Mr.. F. M. Murphy.
MI. Murphy Talks About His Eastern
Trip-Business Generally Improv-
ing Sixteen to One a Waning
Issue-Visit of Congressman.

Prescott, Ariz., Dec. IL Especial
Correspondence Of The Republican,
Mr. F. II. Murphy returned to Prescott
Saturday night, a little late on account
of an accident to the engine on the
Santa Fee Pacific east of Gallup. The
Republicans correspondent called on
Mr.. Murphy today at his home and
was glad to find him feeling better than
when he left Prescott a month ago.
In response to an inquiry regarding
the general situation in the east, po-
litical and otherwise, Mr.. Murphy said
that it would be hard to improve upon
the present condition of business
throughout the country; and as far as
politics was concerned, things were be-
ginning to warm up a little. The re-
publicans are quietly laying their plans
and putting out their pickets to guard
against a. possible attack of their old
enemy. 1t is not expected that the
democrats will make much of fight
in the coming campaign, as their forces
are about as badly scattered as those of
Aguinaldo. Just now they are busy
hunting for issues upon which they
hope to concentrate enough strength to
make a showing.
Your correspondent asked Mr.. Muir
ply as to the status of free and I'M
limited coinage in the east; if Bryan
was going to be able to force that issue
on the democratic party in the coming
campaign. Mr.. Murphy replied that
there was no doubt that the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to l would be advocated by Bryan
and his supporters where they thought
It was popular and likely to get votes,
but that it would not do for them to
press that issue in the east.
Are the democrats going to be able
to make any capital out of the anti
trust agitation?" Mr.. Murphy was
asked.
81 don't see how it is possible, for the
republicans are just as much opposed
to harmful trusts as the democrats he
replied. 1T is not expected that they
will make as much noise, however.
There is one trust that is being organ
lied in all parts of the country that is
going to give Bryan more trouble than
all the rest of the trusts put together"
What trust do you have reference
to?"
1.-The common sense trust and all the
business interests (Which include all the
laboring classes) are falling over them
selves in order to get in on the ground
floor. They do not intend to have the
very satisfactory conditions that exist
today disturbed, if they can help it.
They are not at all DESTROYS of trying
experiments in the face of past expert
ence."
What do you think of the chances
of statehood for Arizona?"
There is no doubt but what a better
feeling exists today than ever before
favorable to admission of the terri
tories, and if Arizona had sent a sound
