WILL ACCOMPLISH NOTHING
Impression is That Aguinaldo is Play
ing for Time

Washington, May 2o.-The cable from
General Otis today indicates to the war de-
partment that the commission which is now
In Manila will accomplish nothing because
1t has no authority to negotiate for actual
peace.
The Importance of the visit of the COM
mission is in the event of the desire of the
Filipinos to end hostilities. There is an i'm
preston also that Aguinaldo is playing for
time in his request. No instructions or
suggestions will be sent to General Otis
by the department. The officials are con-
fident that he has the matter well in hand,
and is the better able to judge what is best
to do. From the manner in which General
Otis has handled past negotiations with
the Filpinos, there is little doubt that he
will refuse the request for the armistice
asked. The position of the American troops
in the Philippines Is such as to render it
possible to infiict great damage to the Fill
pinos without serious loss to our forces.
General Otis being aware of the feeling of
the people, as shown by the press dis
patches, no doubt believes the Filipino re-
bellion is crumblng, and the object of
Aguinaldo and other leaders in requesting
an armistice is to organize their shattered
forces or to impress the Filipino people
with evidence of Importance which they do
not possess.

WOMAN KILLED BY TRAIN.
Alice Ltone Sried to Walk in Front of
Switch Engine.

Alice Stone, a negro woman was run
over and killed by a train at the Eighteenth
street crossing last night about 10 o'clock.
Some cars attached to a Louisville and
Nashville switch engine were standing
across the street, and the woman attempt
ed to go around the end of the rear car,
when the engine suddenly started and she
was knocked down and killed. Her head
was badly mashed and one arm and one
leg was broken. The woman was thrown
to the outside of the track, and it is said
that the wheels of the train did not run
over her body, but that her death was
caused by the blow from the car. Just how
the leg and arm were broken Is uncertain,
as no one could see the accident. 1t was
very dark at that end of the car A man
was with the woman, and they had started
to the North Side. On finding the train
across the street the man suggested that
they go around the end of the car He led
the way and succeeded IL getting across,
but the engine started before the woman
could get to the other side of the track,
and her death was the result.
An ambulance was called, and the re-
mains were taken to Warner 81 Smileys
undertaking establishment, where they
will be prepared for burial.

POPULIST CLUB
Mr. Bryan Spoke, Taking for His Sub
ject Our Nation"

Omaha, Neb., May 20.-The Cooper Popu-
list club, of this city, an organization of
only few months standing, gave dts mi
tial banquet at Creighton hall this evening.
The occasion served to bring together the
Nebraska followers of popuhst doctrines,
especially that wing that has been ardent
from first to last in the support of w. j.
Bryan. Mr.. Bryan was one OF the chief
guests of the evening, and responded to a
toast, the last on the list, during which
time the lights went out and the gather
ing broke up in confusion.
The speakers were Governor Poynter, ex-
Governor Holcomb, General Weaver and
w. ]. Bryan.
Mr. Bryan reiterated his well known
views on the money question, and gloried
in the fact that he was given the cold
shoulder by factions of the populist and
democratic parties. His subject was Our
Nation" and the tenor of his remarks
was that the 16 to populists were the ones
chosen to save 1t. The course of the ad-
ministration in the Philippines was criti-
cized and several things that the populists
had done for their country were enumer-
ated. He advocated fusion and a loyal
support of the silver policy.

MANILA CABLE WILL BE LAID
The English Gable Company Has
Filed Protest

Washington, May 20.-Despite the protest
of the English Gable Company, which held
a twenty -five-year franchise from the Span
ish government for cable and telegraph
lines in the Philippines, aga INST the laying
of cables by the United States in the Phil
ippines, no change will be made in the
plans of General Greedy, and the cable
steamer Hooker, now on her way to Manila
via the Suez canal, will, upon her arrival
there, proceed with the work mapped out
for her
No matter what the statutes of the Span
ish concession might be in time of peace,
it is held that no Spanish concession could
interfere with our military operations in
the Phil ppines, and as nter-communicatlon
between the island is deemed necessary Tor
the assertion of our society sovereignty and
the conduct of our military operations, no
attention will be paid to the protest of the
English company.

CYCLE RACES
OPEN THURSDAY

Best Talent in the City viii
Participate.
THREE EVENTS EACH NIGHT
Negotiations Opened for Securing Lee
Richardson, a Crack Trick Rider
Amateurs Have Been Prac-
ing for Several Weeks

The Cycle Racing association, which owns
and operates the West End Coliseum
track. will open the seasons racing on
next Thursday and Friday nights. John
A. Snider, probably the best-known wheel
man In the city, will manage the track, and
has prepared a most interesting programme
for the opening meet.
The park has been improved and beauti-
fed in many respects, and the track, which
is an eight-lap wooden affair, is considered
the fastest course of it's kind in the south.
Memoirs band has been engaged and will
render appropriate music each evening dur
ing and between races.
There will be three open races each night
of three heats and a final in each event,
which will make in reality twelve inter-
esting and high class races. All the fast
amateurs in this section have entered and
are training hard. The boys are going
some fast Laps, and, judging from the pre-
Iiminary work, there is danger of a south
ern record or two suffering.
There Us no better amateur talent in the
country than Birmingham can boast of,
and its representatives on the cinder path
have always carried off the cream of the
prizes.
Manager Snider is negotiating with w.
Fl. Pickens, the manager of Lee Richard
son, the Premier fancy cyclist of the
world, whose fame has preceded him in
this section. 1t win be known definitely by
Monday whether or not Mr. Richardson
will be able to get here. Should he come
the public is assured of a rare treat, for
the wonderful Chicago lad is certainly at
the head of his profession. The last issue
of the Scientific American features him in
page write-up, accompanied by photo
graphic half-tones.
Should Mr.. Richardson be unable to ap-
pear game of basket ball will be sched-
ulea in the arena between races
The chances are, however, that Richard
son will be present, as the two managers
have arrived a terms, and it is only a
question of other engagements preventing
his appearance. Entries will be announced
later. Tandem pacing will be employed
and some original features will be inau-
gurated in connection with the races
General Manager J. B. McClary of the
Birmingham Railway and Electric COM
pany promises the same fast service to
and from the track that he has always fur
missed his patrons, and every detail will be
carefully looked after for the comfort of
the pleasure seekers. "**

o'clock tonight difficulty occurred in
Gorff's saloon between Connie Sullivan
and James Ramsey. two well known
miners, the result of which was that Ram

three shots.
The two men are related by marriage,
and went into the saloon together and
were apparently on the best of terms
Both are. said to have been drinking. A
dispute arose over a matter of small con-
sequence, and Ramsey is said to have at
tempted to get his knife, when Sullivan
pulled his pistol and fired three times, two
bullets taking effect, producing flesh
wounds. One of the bullets grazed Ham,
sey's throat, and the other passed through
his jaw.
Ramsey was taken to a drug store.
where his wounds were dressed, and later
a reconciliation was effected by mutual
friends.

AS soon as Major Ko'bbe reached San
Q Luis the natives raided the insurgents rice
stores All day a stream of half-naked
people emerged from the store house In
the manner of ants, rushing TO tneH homes
with bags of rice on their heads.
On Thursday night a body of rebels re-
turned to San Luis and burned part of the
town. Lieutenant Cunningham, with a
signal corps party engaged in running a
telegraph Line, was camped near the place.
Major Kobbee sent the army gunboat Cava-
donga there and found the party today in
the town.
The Rio Grande, since Major Kobbe
started, has been the highway for the
exodus of the natives, and today there is
continuous procession of matched cas-
Goes, with white flags, drifting down the
river, and containing whole families of 20
to 30 persons with their household goods
and animals on board. Thousands of these
& boats have passed the army gunboats.
The Nebraska regiment marched from
San Fernando to Calumpit today for a
thirty days rest. The regiment numbers
about 300 weather-beaten veterans Two OF
the companies are mere squads, and their
battered canteens and shiny clothes show
unmistakable marks of rough campaigning.
But the soldiers are happy. Several OF them
dropped by the way from heat, but when
they boarded the special train at Calumpit
bound for Manila, they yelled like school
boys and the other troops went to their
stations and cheered heartily.
