PORT TAMPA, Fla, May 24-The
greatest day in the history Of Port Tam
pa, that of the celebration of Queen Vic
toria's eightieth birthday, opened bright
ana warm: AS the sun appeared on the
horizon, salutes were fred from The Britt
ish vessels lying in the harbor. and then
events crowded rapidly upon each other.
The shipping of the harbor was CAV with
its dressing Of flags and remnants. and
throughout the town was q liberal dis
play of flags, bunting and floral decora
tlons. The flags of the two nations TAX
ing part In the ceremonies, the British
and American, were floated from every
point of vantage, and among them con-
spicuously shown were many German
!lags. The most striking feature of the
decorations was triumphal arch display
ing the British lion and the American
eagle. In one paw the lion grasped an
American flag and in one claw the eagle
waved the British colors, the entire arch
being twined with American, British and
German flags.

i'd and Pearl, the two British cruisers

Believes FiIipinos VIII Finally Ac-
cept Terms offered Them.

WASHINGTON, May A-Following the
rule established when the Philippine
commission first landed at Manila Secre-
tary Hay declines to make public the re-
port which came by cable last night from
President Schurman on the progress of
the negotiations with the Filipinos. 1t
is positively asserted, however, by other
persons who have seen the report and
particularly by certain army officers
that President Schurman makes no ref
erence to any friction between the CIV
liam members of the American commits
sion and Gen. Otis, who since Admiral
Dewey's departure from Manila is now
the sole representative on the commission
of the military and naval elements. The
general tone of President Schurman's dis
patch is optimistic, indicating a belief
that the Filipino commissioners will sue
ceed in prevailing upon their people to
accept the terms held out in the presi-
dent instruction touching the form of
government for the island.

WASHINGTON,M May A.-(Special. 1.-THE
withdrawal of the Thirteenth Minnesota
regiment from the firing line and order
Ing 1t to Manila is taken to mean the
end Of active service of that regiment
in the Philippines. At the war depart
ment there were none who would discuss
the matter, however, save to say that it
was the policy of the department to make
no promises, as contingencies might arise
that would delay the departure of the
troops from Manila for San Francisco. A
sudden outbreak in Manila, or a dozen
other contingencies might make 1t neces-
sary to keep the volunteers there for an
other indefinite period. 1t was ad-
mitted, however, that such a happening
was only a remote possibility and not
considered at all probable. The Mime
sofa and Oregon volunteers are being sent
to Manila to be started home. That
much is admitted.

 NO GRIM E
To Ten Of What occurs in Grand
 Jury Room.

Jury Room.
 New York Journal: The written de- cision of Justice Fursman, based on his recent order directing the case of Roland B Molineux to be resubmitted to the grand jury, was filed yesterday. ln this decision Justice Fursman form ally expresses his opinion of the du- ties and proper conduct of grand ju- TOTS, and be also touches on such pro- ceedings before the grand jury which ln his opinion should be kept secret. Regarding the presumption that all the proceedings Of Q grand jury are se- cret, Justice Fursman says in his de- cision: 4lt is quite a mistake to sup pose that everything that occurs in a grand jury room is secret. Some things must be kept secret, to-wit: The finding of an indictment where the party indicted is not in custody. Also how any grand juror votes upon the finding of an jndictment-th is not to be disclosed. But whatever occurs during the examination Of a witness. whether the district attorney and the foreman of the grand jury CT any grand juror and witness, cannot in the nature of things be kept secret. Any witness may disclose to the outside world everything that took place, and there is no inhibition in any law what ever to prevent it. Tor is it an offense for him to disclose it."
