WILL MAINTAIN NEUTRALITY
Attitude of Foreign Governments In
 the Case of the Filipinos.

Washington Feb. 13.-In diplo- matic quarters the view prevails that all foreign governments will maintain strict neutrality in the case of the in- surrectiOn in the Philippines, but that no formal proclamations of neutrality will be issued, as these would be an indirect recognition of the Filipinos as beligerents.
 This is the opinion among German British and French diplomatic officials and it is in accordance with general custom. The several foreign offices had not up to noon today communicat- ed with their repr resentatives in Wash ingtOn, and it is hardly expected that there will be need for action through these officials unless the foreign col onies at Manila are in danger. The DO sition of the foreign powers is looked upon as analogous to that of the United States during Spain's troubles with the Cuban insurgents.

CHANGES FOR NEW YORK POLICE.
Reforms Suggested By Governor
 Roosevelt Incorporated in Bill.

New York. Feb. 13-The provisions of the new police bill, which was draft ed by Elihu Root at the suggestion of Governor Roosevelt. and which has the indOrsement of the republican organi- zation, were made public yesterday.
 Radical changes in the police ad- ministration will be brought about. The board of police commissioners is done away with, and it's power is lodged in 9 single police commissioner, who is to ibe appointed by the mayor, and who is to be held responsible for the acts of the members of the force, any of whom may be removed by him with CT without a hearing.
 The bill provides that the governor may remove the police commissioner at will, with or without previCcIs notice, and at the same time does not deprive the mayer Of any power of removal now vested in him by law. The mayer, for failure to enforce the provisions of the act, may be removed by the gover- nor in the manner provided by exist ing law
 The present elections bureau is talk en from the police department and placed in charge Of a bipartisan board of elections, whose members are to be appointed by the mayor.

BEGINNING OF WORK
The Foundation of inc New Capitol
 Building Surveyed.

Preliminary work on the capita
 building was begun yesterday. That is the tools of the carpenters were hauled out to the grounds and the location ol the foundation of the building was surveyed and staked off. William Pask, the congressman, had the honor of hauling the tools. He attached an American flag to one of the chests and decorated another with the motto, ITO the Capitol" But before the capitol is actually begun another building will be put up a 12x16 structure, to be used by Contractor Lowell as an office. That will be finished this week.
 The civil engineers are in charge of H. R. Patrick, who spent the most Of yesterday in making the survey for the cutoff of the street railway. Tine rail- way will still run through the grounds on the north side of the building. It will leave a direct line at the intersec- tion Of Washington and Sherman streets and will run by slight curve to the northeastern corner Of the inner area of the grounds outside the first driveway. It will then skirt this area to the northwestern corner, whence by anoher curve it will seek the direct line again. This change involves the destruction or removal of some of the shrubbery and ornamental trees on the eastern side of the. grounds. Anon g the trees in the new path is Q large palm which, however, can be moved V ithOut great deal of difficulty

WORK OF COLONIAL BOARD.
Its Plans Outlined by General Kennedy
 To Begin in Cuba

Washington, Feb. 13--The so-calied colonial boa'-d, conasi5vl-ed by the president to supervise certain lines of governmental reorganization in Cuba and Porto Rico, met in this city to- day, enc shcEt of it's complete member ship, Curtis Guild, Jr, of Massa- chusetts, having declined . commits sion
 General Robert P. Kennedy of Ohio, and Major c. W. Watkins of Michigan, the othe- two members, will remain here for a, week CT ten days and then start on Q trip to the West Indian is lands to collect the information neces- sary to guide them in their work. Dis cUssing 'the plans of the board, General Kennedy said today:
 "The first question the board will take up is the organization of a complete system of taxation and collection Of taxes for Cuba and Porto Rico. There is no system now in force; nJl eqI2liza- lti0n of taxes. The plan will be to furnish both islar ds as equitable and juis1 a system as can be arranged, to fall equally on the people. The pro ceeds are to be distributed for pur- poses of education, improvements, po- lice and matters of municipal affairs Heretofore taxation has been based On ' 1AeND on o=ude principles. In many eases taxes have been remitted on claims that the income was net received, favoritisn, etc. The next general question will bC recommendations for a system of granting franchises. The policy will be to have the people dealt with fairly in giving franchises, priv ileges and grants. Those who get these must ray e fair and just equiva- lent to the CUbans, and whatever profits accrue must go ito Cuba's bene- fit The board will recommend the ap- rcintment Of tax collectors and the dividing up of the country into Collec- ton districts. These collectors shall have charge under restrictions 10 be provided by the wa department. There is no inte-srion tc interfere With the municipal authorities, but 10 aid them in the proper collection and distribu- ton of their own taxes, and more es- pecially ito relieve them of oppressive and unfair taxes.

MAUSERS AND DELIRiUM
Major McCHnfock CorreCfS nHiSiOrj
 cal Error.

Among the so-called histories of the war with Spain, precirttated before the war was over, upon an already suffer ing public, was one by Trum5ull White which is in reality nothing more thar a badly and hastily W3itten deScriptlOl of Cuba and disjointed newspaper ac- counts of the battle of Manila bay and the more important land and naval en- agreements in and about Cuba. 1ne only redeeming feature Of the" history is its binding, which is ornate II not rich Describing the peculiar effect o' Mauser bullets, MT. White writes, o2 rather copies, from Richard Harding Davis, that Lieutenant Robert ThOmas of L troop of the Rough Riders was shot through the leg and almost imme- diately after became strangely ant wildly delirious
 Major James H. McClintock eX plained this phenomenon yesterday Lieutenant Thomas was wounded 2t Las Guasimas soon after Major Nc Clintock fell. Just then the Now Mex. jean contingent under Major LleWellyn passed where the lieutenant lay sui fering from the thirst which falls upon all wounded men. Thomas called fol a drink and Major Llewellyn in the excitement of the conflict flung him his canteen. The lieutenant cIutcheG it and never left off drinking until il was half emptied. The succeeding wonder was not that he was delirious. but that he was alive, for the canteen had contained Spanish rum of the vilest variety. Though Thomas was 26 years of age that was his first taste of alcohol His delirium was one of the incidents which came under the personal observation of MT Davis and that brilliant, but fiighty and unrelia- ble war correspondent, immediately constructed a theory upon it that Mausez bullets produce delirium.
 Thomas wound was not serious The bullet bored through the bone of the leg without making 3 fracture. His re- covery was rapid and his subsequent

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
Newspaper Man Arrested for q
 Murderer.

A few days ago Deputy Sheriff Joe Thompson received Q telegram from she high sheriff of Garfield county, Ok ,ahoma, to arrest one John Brady, who is wanted for murder committed in Garfield county last December, says the Bo1de Vidette
 Sheriff Thompson's eagle eye has been on the lookout for his man night and day since the receipt of the tele- gram.
 Last Saturday morning Mir J. L. Eerkley arrived in the city and regis tered at the Nogales house from Yu- aon, Oklahoma.
 MT. ReTkley is Q newspaper man and had made arrangements to write up the border city for an Oklahoma paper. Newspaperman-iike he proceeded at once to get acquainted with persons who could give him data on the re sources, possibilities, etc., Of our com- mUnity.
 The machinery of the police noticed from My Berlkley's movements, which by the Way, were purely characteristic of a newspaper man, also by the hotel register that he was not taxpayer possessed of a personal interest in county division. It was remembered that murder had been committed in Oklahoma and the murderer was sup posed to be in this particular neck Of the woods, SO the newspaper man was gathered under the sheltering wing of Deputy Sheriff Thompson.
 The victim of mistaken identity was immediately compared with the de- scription of the man wanted in Gar field county, Oklahoma, for murder The comparison produced an equine laugh
 It called for man 28 years of age five feet five inches high, weight 13@ pounds, blue eyes, double lip, and of a generally tough appearance.
 MT Berkley is about 38 or 40 years of age, five feet 115 inches, weight 120 pounds dark brown eyes, very heavy mustache, and looks more like a min ister than a tough
 It took MT. Berkley about 'steen min utes to produce evidence to prove that he never possessed blue eyes, never measured five feet five inches and never killed anything larger than g rabbit-ttat in self defense-and he was turned loose again with many apologies from the sheriff, to continue his Write-up Cf our border city, it's beauty and the many advantages of fered investors who come from Okla homa territory and elsewhere.

RETURN OF MR. zECKENDoRF.
Amazed at the Improvements in the
 Old Pueblo.

MT Louis Zeckendorf, head of the big house on Main street, arrived on Thursday, after an absence of thI ee years. He has had la grippe, and a change was recommended.
 MT. Zeckendorf finds that the big mercantile business has been carefully and exceHentIy managed by MT. Albert Steinfeld. the resident partner, as 5isted by MT. Hugo J. Donau. He said that the business of the house for 1898 was the best experienced since the time that Tombstone was in the zenith Cf it's glory about the year 1S86
 In strOlling over town he Obserded the many changes and was amazed at the advancement Of the old pueblo. He noted with pleasure the immens 3 grist mills of the Eagle Milling com pany, the opera house and the Ma sonic hall, the A. o. U. w building, the Elks' new home, p0stOffiec, ca thedral and other buildings. It was something marvellous.
 Speaking of copper MT. ZeckendoIf said that the rise was due wholly to a great demand for the material. es- pecially so in respect to elect iciIy. In this field there was a great demand. Abroad it is the same Arizona would feel it and would yield $20 000, ,OCO tbis year at the present prices. All branches of trade in the territory would feel the benefits as result Of she advance in copper, particular y farming. Pima county could exr ect great good as the result of capital coming in.
 The horseless carriage was a great institution, MT. ZeckendOrf said, and he demand cannot be met. MT. Zeck- endorf has ordered one for service at his business house and it may be seen here shortly.
 MT. Zeckendorf said there was much inquiry in the east as to Arizona as winter climate, and we may expect many to come all the year round. The gentleman will be here some time Tucson Star.

HEROIC CONDUCT OF A MULE.
Drowns While Trying to Save the Lii,

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 13.-Bud, Tom and Sam Owens, tn1ee brothers. who resided in Alexander valley. near Attalia, and had been to church in that town, were returning home last night in a buggy drawn by mule They at tempted to ford the backwatecs Of Willis creek at the place they had crossed coming to town in the morning but heavy rains falling during the day had swelled the stream and the buggy was upset and the occupants thrown overheard. Bud Owens was drowned at once, but the other men and the mule clambered to the bank. Tom Owens, who owned the mule and bug gy, made an attempt to save the ve- hicle and was carried bere9th the surging waters and drowned The mule seeing it's master struggling il the water, became excited and plunged into the stream after him and was also drowned.

SPOILED MEAT AT HAVANA.
The Matter Is Being Investigated and
 Reports Are Awaited.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Regarding the report of a large amount of canned meat being condemned at Havana, little information was obtain able at the war department It was said that the matter was Icing in vestigated and that reports would have to be awaited through the regular off, cial channels. It was said however, as possible explanation Of the large amount of spoiled meat reported, that the Cuban climate, especially where there was q lack Cf storage facilities. had proved very detrimental to canned goods of all sorts. A great many cans, which had been exposed to the rain, had rusted through, and when the air reached the contents, the meat was spoiled.
 In addition to this, it was said that as far back as February ? the commis- sary department had been notified by Colonel Smith, at Havana, that large amounts of canned beef had been re- ported spoiled. On examination, how ever, it was found that few cans in several large lots either had bsen rust ed through or broken in handling, and the offensive odor arising had thrown the let under suspicion. When the bad cans were removed, it was said, the re- mainder were found perfectly good.
 This explanation, it was thought, might apply also to the condemnation proceedings yesterday. It was impos- sible to state the source of all the sup plies at Havana, as the Porto Rican eX- Qedition was outftted for 10000 men, which number was afterward greatly reduced, and part of these supplies went to Havana. The remainder of the supplies there had been collected from many sources.

BERLIN VIEWS OF OUR DUTY.
Believed That We Should Keep the
 Philippines.

Berlin, Feb. 13.-The Vcssischa zai- tung, in an article commenting upon the ratification Of the peace treaty by the United States senate, says that if President Mckinley insists upon per nanent American government in the Philippines the United States will stand at the threshold of a colonial war the du ation of which no one can fcresee, and of which the danger and expenditure of Llcod and gold it is. diff fioult to estimate.
 This is not endorsed in diplomatic circles. where the belief is practically unanimous that Americas duty and in teIests both command her to retain the Philippines.
