Aguinaldo But the Dupe of the Ma
l0lOs Junta.
NATIVES ARE MERCENARY
MOTIVE IN THEIR DEMAND FOR
INDEPENDENCE.
Want to Gain Control of Property and
Concessions Forfeited By the
Spanish, Which Are Very Valu-
able, and Dispose of Them to Their
Own Advantage.

Chicago, May S.-General T. NJ. An
dition to the Philippines, formally as
sumed command today of the depart
ment of the lakes, relieving General
Sheridan, who will serve on General
Anderson's staff as adjutant general
In speaking of the situation in the
philippines, General Anderson said he
was confident that the backbone of the
Philippine rebellion will ultimately be
broken, although perhaps not so soon
as was hoped. With the mountainous
character of the country and the fast
nesSeS of the interior affording numer-
Gus refugees for guerilla parties and
bands of outlaws, he says there is
every inducement for the Filipinos to
keep up harassing campaign against
the American troops
The leaders of the Malolos govern
nent are ambitious and INSCRIPTIONS.
SAID General Anderson. THE reason
they wish for independence is that they
wish TO gain control of the forfeited
property of the Spanish government.
winch is very valuable, and of all
spanish concessions. and dispose of
them to their own advantage.
BY Spanish concessions, 1 mean
charters Tor waterworks, tramways,
electric lights and other corporate in
tereSts- They know that the treaty
with Spain compels that government to
respect all corporate and treaty rights.
Although Aguinaldo has the conf
dence of the people and commands a
large following among the natives, yet
ne is not the real head of the rebellion
there He is pushed forward, and his
popular characteristics made use of by
the Malolos junta. 1 personally came
IN contact with Aguinaldo when 1 es-
tablished headquarters for the first ex-
petition at Cavite, and 1 cannot believe
him entirely sincere in his struggle for
Filipino independence
General Anderson would not discuss
the anti-imperialistic movement He
also refused to express his views on the
policy the government should assume
toward the Philippines.

New York
Her Debut In Shakespearean Drama,
ESSaying Juliet

New York, May S.-Maud Adams
made her debut tonight in Shakes
pearean drama, essaying Juliet to Will
liam Favershams Romeo, at the En-
pire theatre.
The Interpretation of the role by this
popular young actress was entirely diff
ferent from other Juliets. She relied
absolutely upon perfect girlish simplici-
ty. with just a faint dash of coquetry.
She was sweet and pretty, and she car
ried her audience with her well. There
was scarcely anything of the grand
passion in her acting. She was the 10
year-old girl from beginning to end,
truer, perhaps, to the real Juliet than
the popular conception of that immor-
tai character.
She received frequent applause from
the audience, and her debut was emf
nently successful, though whether her
conception of the role will live, is an
other matter.
William Faversham did not seem
quite at home as Romeo, but James X.
Hackett as MercutiO was excellent.
Mrs. W. g. Jones, Juliet's nurse, and
W. H. Thompson as Friar Laurence,
also scored success. The piece was well
staged.
The house was crowded, and among
those who watched and applauded this
slip of a Juliet were Mrs Antonio Ma
varro (Mrs. Mary Anderson and Mr.
and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr. The
advance sales for the piece have
amounted to over $4,000.

ADULTERATION OF FOODS.
Interesting Testimony Given Before
Senatorial Committee.

Chicago, May S.-Witnesses before
the senatorial pure food commission de-
clare that America is being used by
other countries as a dumping ground
for adulterated products of food and
drink
Graeme Stuart of the w. NJ. Hoyt
company of this city, who was the
principal witness. declared that a ma
tional food law was necessary to pro-
tect honest merchants as we'll as the
consumer from the adulterated foods Of
foreign countries. He said, among other
things, the coffee received from Ger
many in large quantities is known as
black jack, and is nothing more than
a mixture of dead and green berries, to-
tally unfit for consumption. In Brazil,
he declared, the coffee beans are picked
over the best kept for home use and
the inferior grades shipped TO America.
Allan T. Murray, a druggist, declar-
ed that the practice of adulterating
drugs and spices was growing rapidly.
II was usual, nowadays, he said. to in
quire of the wholesale purchaser how
much adulteratiOn he desired in goods
which were given to the public as gen.
uine.
George c. Pew, a chemist, said there
was practically only two classes of bak-
ing powder for sale. He styled these
cream of tartar and alum or phosphate.
In order to neutraliZe the effect OF the
% or 50 per cent of bicarbonate of soda
used by many manufacturers, it was
necessary to utilize nearly so per cent
of cream of tartar. About 20 per cent
of anhydrous Rochelle salts resulted
from the combination when placed in
food.

OFFICERS CANNOT ACT.
Those Criticised Must Allow the
Matter to Drop.

Washington, May S.-A very close
friend of General Miles, and an officer
of the army, when asked if there was
anything for the general to say or do
in regard to the report Of the beef
board, replied:
There is nothing for him to say or
do. The report has been approved by
the president, and the president is the
commander-in-ch of the army. Criti-
cism of the report or any other action
would be violation of military duty"
Inquiry was made as to the status Of
officers criticised, and what course they
might pursue, and it was stated that
as military legal proposition, it was
impossible for any action to be taken
by any of the officers aggrieved. They
might demand a court of inquiry, but
this was a court of inquiry which rec
commended that no further action be
taken. This being approved by the
president, precluded any further in
quiry. General Eagan, who is specified
in the report. is not likely to ask for
any further investigation, but Colonel
Maus of General Miles staff. who was
criticised, feels it keenly. His friends
say he was among the witnesses whom
General Miles asked to be called and
was not called by the court.
