Otis Likely to Bc supported by the
Administrations.
Washington, Sept. 26.--Another con-
ference was held between Acting Sec
retary Hill and the Chinese minister,
wu Ting Fang, touching the exclusion
OF Chinese from the Philippines. A
settlement was reached touching the
landing of two ship loads of Chinese
from Annoy Many of these having pre-
yiously been residents of the Philip
pines, it was decided to permit all to
land, but the main question OF exclu-
sion under Gen. Otis order remains un-
decided.
The conference has settled nothing.
The Annoy affair is arranged solely on
its own merits, but the special agree
ment made is taken to indicate that
Otis will be supported by the admins
tration This is that the Chinese rep
resentative at Manila must promise
that no more Chinese shall leave home
ports for the Philippines unless quail
fed to land there.
Meanwhile the Peking government
will permit it's subjects from Annoy to
land. but 1t does not in any manner
concede our right to apply the exclu-
sion law to the Philippines and stands
by the principles enunciated in the for
NAL protest which was made last week
by the Chinese minister here against
Gen. Otis action.

serious Loss ut Guadaioupe.

Washington, Sept. 26.-Consul Ayme
reports from Guadalupe that the loss
of property from the recent hurricane
amounts to at least $5.000,000. There
were forty deaths and over 200 serious
ly wounded reported from various parts
of the island. The city is a mass of
wreckage and the harbor front is lined
with debris of large and small boats.
The consul says the fruit crop is total
loss and that famine threatens the is
land. He says series OF misfortunes
the island has passed through-earth-
quakes, destructive fires and a financial
crisis will probably force the colony to
appeal to the outside world for assist
ance.

MARsHAILTOwN sEPTEA1BER

Paris senator died at one end of France
and was buried at the other end. 1t
would have been more simple to carry
the body direct to it's final resting
place.
1t was intended, however, that po-
litical demonstration should be made.
and it was first arranged for Saturday.
Then, in order to have more time for
preparations. yesterday was settled up
on, and printed invitations to the serv-
ice were sent to friends of the Dreyfus
cause, who had never known the SEN
ator. Notwithstanding all this-the fine
weather and the announcement in the
morning papers that the brother of
Dreyfus would be present and that a
beautiful wreath Of flowers from Drey-
fus himself would be displayed-there
was comparatively small crowd pres
ent. AS a demonstration it was un-
questionaly fiasco. France evidently
means to bury these irritating ques-
tions, at least until after the exposi-
ton. This is the moral of the inter-
ment.
The people dwelling in the neighbor-
hood of the once famous Fort Chabrol
were treated to a curious sight yester-
day afternoon. Three huge vans We're
drawn up before the door and deposited
two or three dozen workmen, who i'm
mediately set about unhingng the large
front doors and taking down the iron
grating. They heaped into the wagons
the enormous wooden beams which
Guerin and his companions used to bar
|ricade the entrance. These they lowered
with ropes from two or three windows
lin the upper stories These together
with a mass of weapons of every kind,
We're carted to the Luxembourg court
room as evidence against the anti
Semites at their coming trial. The arr
rival of all these articles occasioned
considerable commotion in the quiet
|neighborhood OF the senate, where We're
|congregated an orderly crowd and
many police. Ordinarily in French judi
cial proceedings the judges visit the
spot where the event occurred, but in
this instance the government is so con-
siderate as to save the senators trouble
by conveying the spot to them

Paris, Sept. 26-The funeral yester-

the father of the movement for revision
in the Dreyfus case, afforded the most
convincing proof since the close of the
Rennes trial that the vast majority of
the French public shares in the opinion

PRISONERS TO RE LIBERATED.

more and Party Freedom.
Manila, Sept. 26.-Two Englishmen
entered the northern lines of the army
Sunday, bringing news from the insur-
gent general, Pantelon Garcia, that
fourteen American prisoners who are
now held at Tarlac will be released on
Tuesday or Wednesday.
The delay in releasing these prison
ers. as promised several days ago. is
due to the fact that the F'ilipinos wish
to furnish the men with new clothing
when they set them free.
The Englishmen say they were
wrecked in an open boat near Viga in
July. They state that Lieut.. j. G. Gill
more and the captured boats crew
but will be released later in accordance
gress and the subsequent decree Of Ag-
uinaldo providing for the surrender of
all American prisoners.
The admitted purpose of the Filipinos
in thus freeing the Americans is in or
der to impress foreign powers.
The released Englishmen assert that
three Americans who We're taken pris-
oners have accepted commissions in the
insurgent army.
One Of the three is said to have been
a sergeant, but his regiment is un-
known: another is said to have been a
corporal in the California regiment,
while the third is negro.
Five officers of the Japanese army
are assisting the insurgents in their
war preparations.

Tho Urdaneta.
Washington, Sept. 26.-The gunboat
Urdaneta, which was captured, with its
crew, at Orani, twenty-five miles from.
Manila, on the Bay of Manila, was a
little craft of only forty tons displace-
ment, not much larger than small
tug. She was captured by the navy
early in the war. and has been on police
duty in the bay for months past. The
records of the navy department show
that she was one of the boats of which
the Oregon is the parent ship. That is,
she was supposed to draw all her sup
plies from the battleship, to be manned
from the Oregon's crew and to act un-
der the instructions Of the Oregon's
commander. According to the last re-
ports to the department, the little boat
was. on the 1st of May, under the COM
mand of Naval Cadet Welborn G.
Wood, but the personnel of the crew is
not matter of record, being subject to
frequent changes. Wood was appoint-
ed to the naval academy from Oregon
and passed his.academic course and
was performing two years sea service
at the time of his capture. Naturally
the department officials are vexed that
the difficulties of the negotiations look
ing to the release of Lieut.. Gilmore OF
the Yorktown and his men should be
added to by this last misfortune.
There is no disposition to unneces-
sarily curb the junior officers of the
navy who are rendering such gallant
service in the Philippines.

The remaining time which Jim Jeffres will have before going to New York for the fight on Friday night will be given up to very light work. He has gotten himself in to fine form and will do but little road work and that of very light nature.
 Jeffries will leave Asbury Park for this city either Thursday night or Friday morning. On Friday, the day of the fight. Jeffries will do very little work. Tommy Ryan, Jim Daly, Billy Delaney and Jack Jeffries, a brother of Jim, will act as his seconds.

New York, June 6.-Robert F'itzsimmons was compelled to let up a little in his training work today owing to the extreme heat Martin Julian advised the champion to take things easy. Instead of boxing with his sparring partner Fitzsimmons had a canvas enclosure in the rear of his resi- dence and there he fought nine hard and fast rounds with Dan Hickey, Jack Ever hardt and "Yank" Kenney.
 F1tzsimmons appeared to be edge, and if anything, looked to be trained trifle fine. His work with the gloves was all that could be desired by his most sanguine ad- herents and when he turned in for a shower bath and a rub down Bob showed no sign of fatigue, while the other three pugilists were winded considerably. Fitzsimmons is now about a middleweight limit and chuck full of confidence in himself. He Is confident he will win from the young Californian who will have an advantage in weight of nearly fifty pounds when they meet next Friday night at Coney Island.
 The early morning work was also re- duced. and with the exception of punishing the bag and turn with the medicine ball Fftzsimmons did not exert himself. After eating a hearty dinner this evening, Bob took his usual run of twelve miles and as he had another rub down retired.
 Martin Julian, who is watching out for the interests of the champion said tonight that F'itz was in rare good trim and that from now on the work would be diminished gradually, he felt that his man was on edge and there would be no further use for exhaustive training.

DEYERY WON'T ALLOW A SLUGGING MATCH Fitz and JeffrieS Must Spar for
 Points. MUST BE LAWFUL EXHIBITION Lanky Bob Compelled to Let Up Lit tie in His Training Owing to the
 Extreme Heath Excel
 lent Condition
MUST BE LAWFUL EXHIBIT ION

New York, June 6.-Chief of Police Dev- cry tonight gave out the following state ment relative to the action he will take in the Fitzsimmons-Jeffries figlt next Friday night if it resolves itself into brutal slug ging match:
 Prom certain published statements of experts on prize ring and boxing matters and from various sources, it would appear that the two would-be pugi.istic champions who are down for a sparring contest at the Coney Island Athletic cub on Friday night next, or their packers CT managers, intend to have under the guise of a Horton law sparring contest q genuine, old-time slugging match, or prize fight.
 'If no such slugging match is intended. then the inference is that these statements and impressions are spread for the sole purpose of gulling and imposing upon the public.
 Considering the parties to the contest, their respective weights, 210 and 155 pounds, the other attending circumstances and con- ditions, it is almost physical impossbility for the two individuals referred to to carry on a lawful contest for points on the com ing occasion. The very nature of things tends to an out and out prize fight.
 q shall be present at the contest and as chief of police l shall personally see to it that the letter and the spirit of the law relative to such contests are obeyed, and that there shall be no slugging nor heavy hitting; nothing but a clean-cut lawful sparring exhibition for points. Any person who permits himself to be gulled or im- posed upon by thinking otherwise will find himself very much mistaken
 "It will be well for the public to under
