Two Cuban Editors Ask to he Per-
mitted to Return to Havana.
HAVANA, Aug. 2O.-El ITeraldo today
publishes a letter sent to Mayor la Cos
te by the editor and assistant eGitor, Ri
cardo Arnauto and Augustin Cervantes,
of the recently suppressed RecOncentrado,
in which they acknowledge that journal
was criminal and ask to be given an op-
portInity to reform. The letter says:
''In order that we may rid ourselves OF
the stigma Of criminals and fugitives
from justice We offer to bind orselves
not to publish newspaper in Havana of
any kind, not to consult any authority
and not disturb public order We offer
to undertake to live quietly and honestly
as good citizens. We hope you will give
US this chance and suspend the order of
arrest against US so long as we do not
break our pledges"
This letter was addressed to the mayor
while the writers were yet in hiding and
avoiding arrest. The mayor says it was
entirely voluntary and that they were
given the opportunity desired largely be-
cause it was not desirable that such OBJ
jectionable evidence as would inevitably
be given at the trial should be published.

AGUINALDO HONEST.
That the Opinion in the Islands.
Says Mr.. Schurman.

CHICAGO Aug. 2O.-Jacob Gould Schur-
man, United States commissioner to the
Philippines, arrived in Chicago TODAY.
and left tonight for his home in Ithaca
N. Y, and will report to the president as
soon as meeting can be arranged. In
an interview he said:
In my opinion the rebellion which we
are trying to suppress was due in the
hrst place to several causes, the prin-
cipai of which was the tyranny of some
of the religious orders, the exercise of
arbitrary power by the governors gen
eral, and the delay and corruption of
justice.
THE leaders of the rebellion tell their
followers the most astounding tales of
the Americans, and the common peo-
pie believe that the Philippines under
American rure would subject them to the
same tyranny. That the American army
killed Priests or otherwise maltreated
churchmen or church property is, 1 be-
lteve, utterly without foundation.
"AguinaldO is believed in the islands to
be honest, and 1 think that he is acting
honestly in money matters, but whether
from moral or political reasons 1 would
not say. While l do not care to discuss
the real motives behind the rebellion at
this time 1 will say that if it were sup
pressed there would be many prominent
native officials out of an occupation"

TRIPLE HANGING AT DAWSON
The First Legal Execution in the

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 2O-Passengers
on the steamer City of Topeka, which ar

bring news of the first legal execution in
the klondike. A triple hanging occurred
a Dawson on Aug. IA. The parties
hanged were two Indians, Dawson Nan
tuck and Jimmick, and one white man,
Edward Henderson. Henderson was con-
victed Of numbering his partner, named
Peterson, on the trail near Marsh lake, in
September, 1897. The Indians were con-
victed of numbering William Mahon and
injuring his partner, James Fox, on the
McClintock river in May, 1888. There
We're originally four Indians implicated in
the murder of Mahan, but two of them
died in jail at Dawson last fall.

PROBLEM OF PHILIPPINES.
Admiral Dewey Believes II VIII BE
Solved in Short Order.

LONDON, Aug. N-The Naples corre-
spondent of the Daily News telegraphs
the substance of ali interview he had
with Admiral Dewey there during the ad-
mirals recent visit. Admiral Dewey said
he believed the Philippine question would
be shortly solved. In his judgment the
inhabitants We're capable of seEf-govern-
ment, and the only way to settle the in
surrectiOn and to insure prosperity was to
cCncede it to them. He declared that he
was never in favor of violence towards
the FiliDinos, and remarked that after
autonomy had been conceded annexation
might be talked OF.
When asked whether a conflict between
the United States and Germany over the
Philippines were possible, Admiral Dewey
replied, according to the correspondent:
1T is impossible to foresee the unfore-
seeable.''

ROOM FOR TWO ARMIES.
Believed They Could Operate to Ad-
vantage in the Philippines.

vantage in the Philippines.
WASHINGTON, Aug 2O-It is be-
lieved that more than one army can oper-
ate to advantage in the Philippines and
the suggestion has been made by some
army officers that armies should start
from different points and operate in such
manner as to distract and destroy
the Filipino forces. At present the
United States forces do not occupy the
line of railway half way to Lingayen,
on the gulf of the same name. 1t has
been suggested that If one force would
start from Lingayen, and at the same
time another move north, there would be
very great probability of soon securing
the entire railway for the use of the
army and the insurgents would be sep
arated into divisions east and west of
the railway, as they are now divided
into northern and southern bands
Between Lingayen and Angeles Is Tar
lac, town of considerable size and sit
uated in a province where the natives
are said to be not unfriendly to the
United States. If this province could be
occupied it might be of great advantage
to the United States.
While these are meritorious sugges-
tions 1t may be that when the army in
the Philippines consists of $4,000, instead
of about 10000 or 25,000, it will be possible
to have four or more armies operating
instead of one as during the last cam

Chicago Committee Satisfied With
the Answer to the Invitation.


the Answer to the Invitation.
CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 20.-The Chi
cago invitation committee feels that Pres
ident Diazs statement that ne will ask
congress for permission to accept their
invitation is equal to acceptance. Gen.
Dlaz is greatly pleased with the magnifi-
cent form of invitation extended him, as
is also Mrs. Diaz. On all sides it is
agreed that the Chicago representatives
have maintained the honor of that great
city. The Chicagoans dine by special
invitation with the president Monday aft
eInoon and on Tuesday they will formal
ly present the invitations to members of
the cabinet. There is a general feeling
among the Mexicans that President Diaz
should accept Chicago's invitation, as his
visit to the United States at this time
would tend to bring about even closer re-
lations with the United States and tend
to break down the influence of the opposi-
ton party here, which makes capital out
of the taking of Spanish territory by the
Americans.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 2O.-M. Leon
Bureau, of Paris, formerly private sec
retary to NJ. Labori is in the city. a
guest of DR.. Adriene Monod, French vice
consul He said today that the present
trial of Dreyfus will result in his ac-
Quittal. If a verdict of guilty Is re-
turned, the court of cessation, the higher
French authority, will at once set it aside
and order another court-martial and so
on until he is acquitted
M. Bureau said it was within the power
of the court of cessation to have decreed
Dreyfus innocent. In fact there were but
two things for the tribunal to do; either
adjudge him not guilty or send him back

Entire TO the Rennes Court.
PARIS, Aug. 2O.-The Echo de Paris in
commenting upon the testimony offered
at Rennes yesterday by Capt Cuignet,
the former attache of the minister of
war, to whom was assigned last year the
task of collecting matter bearing upon
= the Dreyfus, Picquart and Esterhazy af-
fair, says:
Capt. Cuignet's evidence shows that
the whole secret dOssier has not been
communicated to the court-martial A
document has been withheld which
proves the existence of a vast network
of espionage under the direction Of for
eign military attaches and of negotia-
tions on the subject of the Dreyfus case
between several French notabilities and
the representatives of foreign powers.
THE dossier, moreover, contains proofs
that the sum of 35OO0,O0O francs was re-
ceived in France from abroad for the
purpose Of prosecuting a pro-Dreyfus
campaign"
According to Echo de Paris, according
to Capt. Cuignets deposition, Gen Chan
. oine, who took the war office secret dos
sier to Rennes, has started suddenly for

NEW YORK, Aug. 2O-EVord came to-
night from the Bellevue Hospital that
Gen. Butterfeld, chairman of the Dewey
reception committee, had been stricken
with apassia at his summer home Cold
Spring, on the Hudson. Four or five tel
egrams to Bellevue inquired for DR..
james, an expert in nervous diseases, and
they requested that the doctor be sent to
Cold Spring at once. Gen. Butterfield is
being treated there. 1t was learned, also,
that other kilograms had been sent to
this city during the day in an effort to
reach other specialists in nervous dis
eases.
Members of the Dewey executive COM
mittee learned early in the day that Gen
Butterfield was i'll, but they were inform
ed that he expected to be able to go with
them to Washington tomorrow. Apassia
is the loss of speech or interference with
speech, as a result of an affection of the
brain.
