A BABY KIDNAPPED.
Sensational Case Mys,iass New rsrh
 Police.


 New York, May 2t-Marion, the 90. month-old child of Arthur w, Clark oi i59 East Sixty-hfth street, was stolen Sunday in Central park The child was either stolen by its nurse according to a carefully laid plot or the nurse was stolen with it. The police from the Bronx to Sheepshead Bay are hunting the baby and the thieves high and low. The neighborhood of Battle row. where the only trace of it was found and lost. had been canvaased yesterday and throughout the night without result, and the search is yet kept up. The mo. tive of the crime is shrouded in myH. tery.
 There Is the suggestion, which the police claim they have not lost sight of that the plan may have been one matched in the interests of sensational journalism. The police intimate that such a scheme might have been svolv. ed In order that it might appear when the child was found that It's discovery was due to the efforts of the newspaper that concooted the plot. The police, however. while throwing out a HugRes' ton that this may be the fact, neverths. less say that such plan iH almost In. conceivable. for it would Involve those concerned in it in no end of trouble should the fake ever be established.

RURAL GUARD FOR CUBA
General Brooke Is Considering
 the Plan.
COMETS ADVICE TO SOLDIERS.
Urges Them to Accept Money Offered and Give Up Their ArmS-yeterans' Association Approves Action ot Eastern Forces.


 and Give Up Their Arms-veterans' Association Approves Action oi Eastern Forces.
 Havana. May 24.-The question of the establishment of a rural guard will shortly be considered by General Brooke. but 1t is hardly likely that he will take favorable action on the propo- sition. There are now 500 guards In Santa Clara, 23O in Puerto Principe and 260 in Santiago, but there are none in Pinar del Rio. Havana or Matanza provinces. General Wilson. military commander of the department of Ma tanzas and Santa Clara, is opposed to the plan, believing that the guards are unnecessary. The 500 men employ ed in that capacity in Santa Clara are a relic of General Bates regime.
 The opinion is expressed in American quarters that much of the banditti scare is part of scheme to force the appointment of a large rural guard. Most of the reports of bandits come from Cuban sources and are persist ently discredited by the military au- thorities for that reason.
 Interest in the disarmament question is apparently waning. The Reconcen- trado Is the only paper which discusses the matter. It says that the American money appropriated for the payment of the Cuban troops will go back to the United States untouched. The authort- ties at the Salon Trocha expect, how ever, that a majority of the soldiers will appear on the designated days and take their money and are proceeding accordingly. General Brooke's order 1F tAr has been sent to the printers, and 1t will be officially published today.
 Gomez Urges Acceptance.
 General Gomez is very anxious for the Cubans to accept the money. He called a meeting of his generals at the Hotel Roma yesterday afternoon, at which he urged them to use all their influence to get the men to accept payment. He said that he would appear in a ridiculous light if they did not. It was decided to send General Carillo to the Santa Clara headquarters of the Fourth corps to urge the men to take the money. Tele- grams to the same effect were sent to General Jesus Rabi in Santiago and General Pedro Diaz in Pinar del Rio.
 Arrangements were completed yester- day to begin the payment of the Fifth corps in Havana province on May 27 The payment will continue 12 days, the last detachment being paid in Cardenas. The arrangements for the payment of the Fourth and Sixth corps have not yet been completed.
 Another meeting of Cuban veterans was held yesterday afternoon at Cerro. at which the course of the soldiers in refusing to accept the American money was approved.

SCHURMAN OPTIMISTIC.
Cable to Hay ContradIct~ Press Di.-
 patch.

Washington, May 24.-Secretary Hay has received from President Schurman of the Philippine commission a long message giving the results of the meet ings thus far held with the native Fi1i- pino commission sent by Aguinaldo to treat with the Americans. The mes sage was laid before the president. He was very much gratified at It's con- tents, which were said to be very en- couraging for the outlook that some thing definite may be accomplished. President Schurman reports that the native commissioners will take back to their people the proposition for a form of government, etc, suggested by the American commission. The text of the dispatch was not made public and will not be.
 It is stated on the authority of a gem tlemnn who spent some time with the president that contrary to reports from Manila there are no differences of any consequence between the military and civilian members of the commission as to the course to be adopted fin dealing with the natives.

to Arbitration.
 The Hague, May 24.-The three com mittees held their first sessions yes terday afternoon, these being devoted solely to inaugural formalities and an exchange of ideas with regard to pro- cedure. They will meet again on Fri day. The measures to preserve the se- crecy of the deliberations have been re- doubled. Only the delegates and secre- taries are admitted to the precincts of the Huis Ten Bosch. Both entrances to the gardens are closed with barred gates, which are guarded by sentries under the command of noncommission- ed officers in full uniform. Every ap- plicant for admission is called upon to produce an orange colored card issued to the delegates and to give the secret password.
 M. de StaaPs speech on Saturday Is accepted as a definite abandonment by Russia of all attempts to secure action toward the limitation of armaments, naval or military. so far as this con- vention Is concerned. The committee on this subject will devote its attention exclusively to the minor points assign ed to it-namely, the use of new ex- plosives, projectiles, submarine boats and other engines of destruction. There is little hope of agreement on any re- strictions concerning these, and there fore the scope of Count Muravieff's cir cular Is already reduced one-half.
 The important work will be concen- trated on the sole question of arbitra- ton, and one mans opinion Is as good as another's regarding the prospect of agreement on any plan. It is probably too much to expect that any complete permanent scheme will be definitely adopted at the present session, but large body of the delegates hope some progress will be made toward that end. A considerable number believe that a partial or tentative plan of optional ar bitration, with provision for the neces- sary tribunal, can be devised and re- ferred to the governments for their ac- ton or taken up at an adjourned ses sion of the conference.

By enabling all of the organs to act as they should, and at the same time facilitating the discharge of poisonous secre- tions from the system, the blood is naturally purified, becomes rich and healthy, and an obvious improvement is plainly discerned in the face of the patient.
