NO CONCESSIONS
CAN BE GRANTED

New York, March 22.-A special to the
Herald from Washington SAYS: Attorney
General Grggs will advise Secretary
AlEcr to grant no concessions of any
character in Cuba. He has under con-
sidcration several questions in connec-
tion with desired concessions in Cuba but
he will determine them adversely to the
applicants. In his opinion relative to
the contract relations between Dady and
company and the city Of Havana tlle at
torney general declared that "the admin
istration of the United States in Cuba is of
n military nature and merely temporary.
No action which binds the island or any
of its municipalities to large expenditure
and continuing debt ought to be made
except upon grounds of immediate neccs-
sity."
The attorney general, in his interpreta-
tiOn of the provision of the army apprO-
pration law that no property, franchise
or concessions of any kind whatever shall
be granted by the United States or by any
military or other authority whatever in
the island of Cuba during the occupation
thereof by the United States" will reiter-
ate his view in the Dady opinion, though
perhaps in somewhat stronger language.
1t is expected that the attorney general
will shortly hand down an opinion in the
matter Of the application of the CONNER
cial Gable company to run Il line to Cuba.

Nav Release Prisoners

New York, March pa special to the
Herald from Washington says Maj.
Gen. Otis and the other members of the
Philippine commission will decide
whether or not the ransom of the Spanish
prisoners held by Aguinaldo is to be per-
mtted. AS a result of representations by
Ambassador Cambon and the National
Red Cross, showing the deplorable condi-
ton of the prisoners. Gen. Otis will be
given power to act after advising with
his associates on the commission. The
prospect is that it may be found impos-
sible to release the prisoners. There are
said to be about 500 Spanish prisoners,
most of them priests AS the Philippines
blamed the priests for most of the hard
ships they suffered under Spanish rule,
they are particularly inhuman in their
treatment of the churchmen.

SALVATION ARMY
VS.. VOLUNTEERS

Chicago, March 22.-The recent clash
between the Salvation Army and VoIun-
teers during a street parade of the latter,
headed by Gen. Ballngton Booth, has re-
suited in a deal of trouble between the
two organizations. The showing by magic
lantern of a death bed picture of Balling-
ton Booths mother at the moment of the
generals appearance has caused much
bitterness and at a council of the general
officers of the Volunteers the following
statement was given out:

American and bitter spirit on the part Of

backwards and forward, purpOsely to
create the impression that he made VOWS
to the Salvation Army at her death bed,
when, as we all know, at the time of her
death, he was in Maryland, U. S. A.
Further, in the presence of our leader,
Gen Booth, Brig. Gen. Fielding, Col.
