A PLEA FOR PARDON.

Paris Paper Urges Clemency for Dreyfus
Under the head of ''Pacifcation" the
Temps urges the government to take
advantage Of the present conditions
and pardon Drcyfus, which, 1t adds,
would put the finishing touches to the
Rennes verdict, and would permit
France to occupy herself with the af-
fairs of the country and the exhibition.
Al today's cabinet council the pre-
mier, NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau, informed
his colleagues that he had received re-
ports from the projects OF the various
departments which showed that the
verdict of the Rennes court-martial
had been everywhere received quietly.
Up to this hour 1t is presumed the
council took no action in the Dreyfus
or other matters OF great Importance.
II was N of the frequent meetings
held by the cabinet, and was not hur-
riedly called, being announced several
days ago. No special Importance is
attached to 10.

Meeting Discusses Local Gov
In Philippine.

A Filipino who has arrived at Ma
Mia from Tarlac says an extraordi
nary session of the revolutionary on
gress took place at Tarlac August "a.
A~guinaldo presided and chose Mabini
as president of the supreme court and
Gonzaga a. attorney general. They
both represent the most conservative
and temperate element.
Mabini, who recently resigned the
foreign secretaryship, is the ablest
man connected with the revolution.
Gonzaga was the president Of the las
peace commission. The proceedings
of the congress disproved the report
that Aguinaldo had declared himself
dictator.
A decree has been issued by the Fill
pinos compelling the registration of
all foreigners in Filipino territory.
The Chinese, who are a large faction
Of the population, are considered for
eigners, including those born in the
Philippine islands. Applications must
be made on stamped paper, which
figures largely In all the business
transactions Of the insurrectionary
government. This seems TO be largely
a scheme to tax Cinnamon.
The cabinet meeting at Washington
was devoted almost entirely to the dis
cussion Of the local governments which
will be established in the Philippines
on the cessation OF hostilities.
Secretary Root has given the matter
much thought and his views as cx.
pressed at the meeting were received
with approval by all of the members
present. He pointed ont tho system
of government that would be suited tc
the people Of Luzon would hardly dc
for some of the other islands, where
the inhabitants were far less advanced.
A member Of the cabinet. in speak.
ing Of the matter, said that Secretary
Root displayed a broad craftsmanship
and a knowledge Of the social and eco
nomic conditions of the islands.
A cable has been received from Gen,
eral Otis which says:
Newport sailed yesterday, nine Off
GERS, sixty-siX enlisted men, 463 dis
charged men, ten civilians; part of en-
listed men belonged to volunteer sigma

Then they blew up the safe with dyna-
