INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.
To Be Advocated By America at Dis
armament Congress-.

New York, March pa dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
There is reason to believe that an i'm
portant proposition looking to the set
tlement of international disputes by
arbitration will be advanced at the
coming disarmament conference by the
American delegates.
1t is learned on high authority that
the credentials for and instructions to
the American delegates are now being
prepared by Secretary Hay and VIII be
ready for submission to the president
for his approval when he returns to
Washington from his southern trip.
These instructions will be a complete
exposition of the position of this gov
ernment on the question of dlSarma-
ment and arbitration.
Sir Julian Pauncefote has been ad-
vised of his appointment as senior
member of the British legation.
The British minister to The Hague
will also be a member. NJ. De Staael,
the Russian ambassador to Great Brit
ain, and leading representative of the
czar at the conference, will be as
sisted by Professor Martens, professor
of international law in the university
at st. Petersburg, and probably by the
Russian minister to The Hague.
Following the policy which it seems
likely that all the nations will adopt,
President Mckinley will accredit the
minister of the Netherlands as one Of
the American delegates. Ambassadors
White and Tower will probably be the
other members of the American dele
cation

INSURGENTS OUT OF FUNDS.
Americans Intercept Letters t
Aguinaldo and Other Leaders.

Washington, March 23.-The capture
of Caloocan. in the Philippine island
Of Luzon, by the United States forces
recently resulted in the confiScation OF
considerable mail addressed to the in
surgent government. 1t includes a
number Of letters of Aguinaido and
cher leaders, and brings out some in
teresUng facts aboue the Filipino off
cial methods. Postal Agent Vaille at
Manila has forwarded some Of this mail
TO Acting Postmaster General Heath
Cne letter is addressed to Aguinaldos
S0-called secretary Of the treasury, and
is IN reply to q request for money. The
writer is apparently the fiscal official al
1uoCna, LuZon, TO whom the insurgents
entrusted the duty Of Squeezing the
merchants. and he had apparently con
fiscateI for the insurgent cause a lot
of cocoa fibre belonging to a tobacco
company. When asked 70 turn over the
proceeds tine agent remarks that only
S3,5G had come into his hands. and
that amount he paid to the troops. who
were clamorous for more. The letter is
written in very fair Spanish.
Apparently Aguinaldo's treasury Off
cials are running short of paper. for
the outer covering OF the letter is made
of a sheet Of paper written all over,
torn out Of a record tbook, and it was
tied about With a fragment of Manila
bagging.
Another captured letter received by
the postofiice department was sent from
the provincial government at Antipoio,
addressed to Aguinaldo's secretary of
the interior, in which he apologies for
not being present at Malolas at the
PRONUNCIATION Of the constitution, as
signing as a. reason that the telegram
commanding his presence though dated
Jan. 21, only reached him Jan. 90, two
days too Late. To atone for his alb
sence, he says he ordered all the local
municipal presidents to get up demon
strations and cry, Long live Filipino
independencer' and Down with annex
ationr'
This is signed by Governor Jose Eno-
ros, governor of Antipolo. Some inter-
cepted letters to Aguinaldo himself
have also come nito the possession of
the postof1ice department.

BRASs-TIPPED BULLETS.
Americans at Manila Wounded By
Poisonous Proiectiles.

New York, March pa dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says: Re
ports received at the war department
from the medical officers serving with
troops IN the Philippines, show that
Aguinaldo's army is using brass tipped
bullets.
Several American soldiers have been
wounded by the poisonous projectiles.
and in consequence the wounds are
more difficult to heal than those caused
by the ordinary bullet. OF course, the
authorities can do nothing to prevent
the insurgents using amy kind Of bull
lets they see fit. They have no govern
meGt TO which an appeal can be made.
Their action in this respect, officials
say, is another indication of their Ut
ter unfitness for salf-government.
1t was officially stated at the state
department that the proclamation just
issued by the Philippine commission is
in accordance with the instructions
given to President Schurman and his
associates.
II is The understanding of the officials
that within forty-eight hours General
Otis will recommence active opera tions
against the Fihpin0s. BY following up
the proclamation of the commission in
this manner the officials believe they

alton Of the United States to end the
insurrection and the hopeles6ness of

SHERMAN IMPROVING.
Sick Statesman Was Able to Appear
on Deck Yesterday.

Santiago, March 23.-Mr. Sherman is
feeling very much better this evening,
and his physicians regard his condition
as very much improved. During the
afternoon he sat on the deck of the
Paris, viewing Santiago. The United
States cruiser Chicago is expected here
by daybreak tomorrow, and Mr.. Sher-
man will be Immediately transferred
to her. The anxiety of his relatives on
the Paris is virtually at an end.
The party of tourists on the Paris
has made the most of the day, visiting
every accessible spot. crowding the
battlef1elds, buying relics and even
paying fabulous prices for machetes
that have been shipped from the Unit
ed States since the war. Various ex-
cursions have been taken during the
day, one to San Luis, another to Nor
ro castle and a, third to view the wreck
of the destroyed cruisers of Admiral
Cervera's squadron, the Viscaya and
Almirante Oquendo.
Tonight a banquet and ball to citi-
zens of Santiago will be given by the
tourists, and the Paris will leave in
the morning about o'clock.

Rolling Mill Combine.

Cleveland. o., March 2S.-The Iron
Trade Review says: The movement to
consolidate western and southern roll
ing mills has made headway in the past
week, and nearly all the necessary OD-
tions have been secured. Less outside
money will be invested, proportionately,
than in other recent iron and steel COM
bines. The promoters announce that
organization will probably be effected
within the next two weeks. The capital
proposed is S15,000O00, and thirty-si
western mills. large and small, fit and
unfit, are included in the plan. Chicago
and Cleveland are both discussed as
probable headquarters.

vices confirm the arrival of Admiral
Kautz and the convoking by him OF
meeting of ali the officials on the 1lth
inst, but they do not show what re-
suited from the meeting. All their re-
ports are silent thus far on this point,
but the German view is evidently one
of apprehension lest serious results
may grow out of the meeting, IN Wnlcn
event the German view is that the re-
sponsibilities should be borne by those
bringing about the meeting. Furfher
than this. questions are arising as to
the extent of authority Of the British
and American consuls, acting together.
to do anything without the concurrence
of Consul Rose of Germany. The Ger
man view evidently holdsthat the Ber-
lin treaty requires the three consuls 10
act unanimously, and not through
majority. Another question is as to
the right of the naval commander to
take any political action.

POPE IS VERY FEEBLE.
Insists Upon Throwing Physic to

London, March 24.-According to the
Rome correspondent of the Chronicle,
DR.. Lapponi, the pope's physician, has
been i'll for two days. He is suffering
from an attack of bronchitis, and will
not resume his attendance upon the
pope until he has fully recovered.
The correspondent further states that
the pope ignores his doctors prescrip-
tions and follows his usual occupations,
though he is so feeble that it is doubt
full if he will be able to hold the next
consistory. The question of a conclave
is the subject of much secret negotia-

MURDER OF A MISSIONARY.
Latest Victim Belonged to the United
Brethren.

New York, March 23.-Inquiry among
the officers of the foreign mission board
in this city regarding the dispatch from
London reporting the murder of an
American missionary and his wife and
the taking into captivity Of his two
daughters by natives of the Mendi dis
trict, Sierra Leone, revealed the fact
that none of the larger boards had mis-
sionaries in that part Of West Africa.
The missionary alliance has men in
Sierra Leone, but one of its officers said
that all it's representatives were young
and unmarried. From the same source
it was learned that the murdered mis-
sionary was probably one of the
United Brethren missionaries. Their
headquarters are in Pennsylvania. Six
or eight months ago several of the
United Brethren missionaries of this
same district were killed and others Of
them driven to the coast and their
property destroyed. 1t was not until
the British government sent troops that
