List of Casualties,

Manila, May 3.-3:10 p. m.-There was a
conference lasting two hours today be-
tween Major General L. S. Otis and en-
voys who came here from General An
tonic Luna bearing a proposal for a
cessation of hostilities. General Otis ad-
hered to his refusal to recognize the So
called government of the insurgents. The
F1l1pinos now ask for truce of three
months to enable Aguinaldo to summon
congress and consult with the insurgent
leaders on others Of the islands. The en-
voys admitted the contention of General
Otis that Aguinaldo has little control
Luzon. The question of release of Span
ish prisoners in the hands of Filipinos
was mentioned. Major Arguelezes, chief
member of the deputation, said he con-
sidered them as being in the same cate
CORY with the Americans. the United
States being the successor of Spain in the
dominion over the islands and acquiring
by treaty all Spanish rights and obliga-
tions. After the close of the conference
with Otis the Filipino ENJOYS had con-
sultation with the United States Philip
pine commissioners.
8 p. m.-The Filipino envoys Major
Arguelezes and Lieutenant Bernal, have
abandoned the pretense under which
they came to Otis. that they represented
General Luna, and today announced that
they came as representatives of Aguin-
aldo himself. The two emissaries used
all their wiles to secure reply from Otis
to the letter from Senor Mabni, Aguin-
aldo's prime minister and minister of
foreign affairs in the dictators cabinet,
which they presented to Otis yesterday,
but Otis refused to make any reply on
the ground that to do SO would be equiv
alent to a recognition of the so-called
government of the Filipinos. Arguelezes
said Aguinaldo knew he would be over
powered in time, but that he would be
able to continue fighting for months, and
that he would do so unless he was given
what Arguelezes termed peace with dig
nity,

AN IMPORTANT
INSURANCE CASE

New York, May 3.--The appellate court
In Brooklyn has rendered a decision of
interest to holders of life insurance
policies. In the action of Greeff against
the Equitable Life Assurance company,
suit was brought to recover a share of
the entire surplus of the society. The
charter OF the company provides that
each policy holder is to be credited with
an equitable share of it's surplus. The
policy in question was a 15-year tontine
endowment policy and contained pro-
vision that it was entitled to share in the
surplus of the society, according to such
principles and methods as should be
adopted by the society for such distribu-
tion The society claims that it's policy
holders are only entitled to a share of
said portion of it's profits as the board
or directors choose to set apart for the
payment of dividends. The plaintiff, on
the other hand, claims that he is entitled
to share of the entire net surplus, which
amounted to about $43, ,O00, 900 on the 3lst
OF December preceding the maturity Of
his policy and the appellate div!:.on in an

LAWS IN HAVANA
ARE REFORMED

New York, May "a dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says: The legal
reforms planned by the military govern
ment are gradually finding their way into
the official Gazette" The decree issued
or to be issued this week. abolish those
features Of the criminal code which clash
more harshly with Anglo Saxon ideas of
personal security. Judges are forbidden
hereafter to deny to prisoners the right
Of communication with the outside world
or to shield accusers from publicity.
Habeas corpus is also granted to any
prisoner who thinks himself unlawfully
detained in custody. The examination
Of witnesses in criminal cases will be
broadened, but the Judgment will be left
as before, exclusively in the hands of the
court.
General Gomez and his assistants on
the committee representing the Cuban
army, having informed General Brooke
that it would be almost impossible to re-
wise and reduce the lists on which pay
ment of arrearageS is to be made, it is
doubtful whether the military authority
will pursue it's effort to purge the Cuban
rolls, as the soldiers themselves are most
concerned in seeing justice done to those
who actually bore the burdens of the in
surIection and their representatives are
indisposed to encourage any critical in
vestigatiOn. The government will prob
ably have to disburse the 81, 900, 900 i'm

HIS EXPERIMENT
WAS FATAL ONE

New York. May 3-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: .nvesti-
cation Of the explosion at the Dupont
Powder works by which Capt. S. F.
Stuart of the army and five civilians lost
their lives, is being made by Major c. S.
Smith under instructions from the war
department. The deaths of all who We're
with Captain Stuart at the time of the
accident make it difficult to get at the
cause, but it is thought tina the army
officer was killed by his own invention.
It is the custom of the department to put
guncotton in cases and load them in
shells, but Captain Stuart conceived the
idea of pressing the guncotton into the
shell by a hydraulic rammer. He OBJ
tanned the necessary appliances and be-
gan to load an eight Inch shell with a
charge of guncottOn, when the explosion
occurred.

THE PROPOSED
STEEL COMBINE

New York, May 3.--The Times says:
Representatives Of some of the largest
steel concerns in the United States met
in an uptown hotel last evening and talk
ed over plans for the proposed combina-
ton to be capitalized at from 800 600, GOO
to $500 ocC, 900. What passed durng the
conference was carefully guarded and
some of those present denied later that
such meeting had been held, although
it was said on direct authority that the
combination's plan had at least been well
advanced toward consummation. One of
the men who attended seemed surp!isc
when told that such a meeting had been
in progress.
1.-The steel men," said he, "have been for
some time trying to harmonizc their in
terests so that they could make more
money, but l know of no present intention
to bring about such combination as
spoken of. However. it is not impossible
In these days Of big business enterprises,
there is no telling what may happen"
The statement was repeated last even
ing that the Federal Steel and the Repub-
lie Steel companies might go into the
combination, but representatives OF both
denied all knowledge of such move. John
w. Gales, president of the American Steel
and Wire company, stated last night that
so far his company had had nothing to
do with the proposed combination, what
ever might happen in the future.

New York, May "A special to the

reason to believe that the administration
proposes to use the Pears case and the
Bluefields incident to create respect for
the United States in Honduras and
Nicaragua. While it is assured that the
governments of Honduras and Nicaragua
wish to act correctly their subordinates
have been guilty OF petty prosecutions Of
American citizens which in many in
stances cannot be made subject of off,
cial complaint. The state department is
therefore determined to bring the Hon
durians and Nicaraguans to account.
With this object i'm view the proposition
of the Hondurian government that the
Pears case be referred to arbitration has
been rejected and Minister Hunter has
been instructed to press for an immedi-
ate settlement. Should the $4,000 indem-
nifty demanded be not forthcoming within
a reasonable time, a squadron will be
ordered to Honduras to enforce payment,

A SWINDLER IS
UNDER ARREST

New York, May 3.-The Herald says:
Daniel Nosemore, formerly prosper
GUS ship owner of this city, has caused the
arrest of VIM. Bailey. who is described by
his accuser as president of numberless
imaginary railroads and copper mines in
the west and the debtor Of railroad mag
mates, banks and trust companies in this
city. Daniel Nosemore, who declares he
has been victimized for ten years, has
carried the ord ar for the mans arrest in
his pocket since last February. When
nearly penniless the former shipowner
was Joined in the hunt by Mr. Evans,
lately superintendent Of construction on
one of Bailey's roads. Mr. Evans says he
represents workmen who were employed
in constructing the Tacoma & Columbia
railroad, Washington. Four series Of
bonds were issued on the railroad, but ac-
cOrding to Mr. Evans, the WOrkmen were
never paid. Mr.. Evans also carried war;
rant in his pocket for Bailey's arrest.
Bailey was locked up in the central po-
lice court prison.
Bailey's arrest reveals what is des-
cribed as a gigantic scheme to sWindle
specula tors in this vicinity. 1t began 12
years ago, when Bailey induced Judge
Blaire, of the court of common pleas of
Jersey City, and Daniel Nosemore to put
forty certificates of a Texas land COM
pany, valued at $S,O 900 in return for shares
in one of Bailey's enterprises. Six thou
sand dollars was placed in the Park bank
by Mr.. NosemOre to pay a mortgage on
the railroad. According to the complaints
against him Bailey subsequently, issued
four series Of bonds on the Tacoma &
Columbia river railroad company, which
was floated by him under different names.
1t was also known as the Tacoma & Lake
Park railroad, of which Bailey was the
president. He bought the road from the
Lake Park Improvement company in 1892
1t is little more than II miles long and
has forty pound rails. Upon II miles $780,
600 worth of bonds We're issued. Subse-
quently 1900 feet of track were laid and
another mortgage issued. it is said, bonds
for $3.50, 900 being issued. All these bonds
are now afloat.
Bailey's next enterprise was floating
copper mines. He is said to have placed
himself in touch with leading copper
firms of this city He is also said to have
represented to Senator Stephen B. lClkins
that there is a vast coal field in the west
over which he has absolute control.

THE CHICAGO TO
GO TO MOROCCO

New York, May "a special to the
Herald from Washington says Before
the departure OF the cruiser Chicago yes
terday from Punta DelSada, Acting Sec
retary Allen sent instructions to Rear
Admiral Howison directing him to pro-
ceed to Tangier. Morocco The United
States has several small claims against
the Moorish government, the result of
looting stores belonging to Americans
and of outrages committed upon Moorish
agents of American houses. who under
the terms of the treaty between the two
governments are under American pro-
lection. The authorities are confident
that the moral effect of the appearance
of the Chicago with a flag officer on board
at Tangier will be excellent and will
hasten the settlement Of the claims Rear
Admiral Howison will consult with the
American consul general at Tangier. No
attempt will be made at forcible coercion.
but the Moorish officials will doubtless
appreciate the reason for the Chicago's
call and probably act promptly.
