FlLIPINOS KILL FRENCHMAN
Goes to Their Lines to Negotiate for
Release of Spanish
~ Prisoners.

MADRID, June 21.-A dispatch to the I'm
parcial from Manila says Baron du Maronais,
a Frenchman, who went to the rebel camp
to intervene in behalf Of the Spanish pris
oners in the hands of the Filipincs has been
treacherously murdered.
Omaha daily bee., 1899-06-22

The first report of the murder of Baron
du Maronais was received in New York
from Manila. under date of May II and
May 10. 1t was announced that T. B. du
Maronais OF Philadelphia, a brother of
Baron du Maronais, was seeking informa-
tion concerning the fate of the baron. Ad-
jutant General Corbn telegraphed to Major
General Otis who replied as follows:
"A committee OF citizens sent Citizen du
Maronais to the nsurgent authorities TO in
tercede for the release Of the Spanish pris-
oners. The last information regarding
him was that he was with Luna's forces
at Calumpit, before the town was captured
1t is the belief OF many citizens here that
Du Maronais was murdered. Others believe
that he is held a prisoner"

Changes in Existing Form.

Under this scheme the governor would
have a veto over general and municipal
laws; the nominees would be the depart
mental heads; consular, diplomatic and
judicial functions would be aboished: reve-
nue. would be raised by an increase of duties
and diminution Of the poll tax: the jur-
isdiction of the supreme court would be in
creased; the municipality, under a mayor
and council, would be extended and the
postoffices would be under the general gov
ernment.

The expenditures up to this time aggre-
gate about $6OO,OOO,OOO. OF this amount
$22S, 900 was paid out on acquisitions
from the War department $64 0O00 600 on ac-
count of the navy. $139,OOO,OOO on account of
penslcns nearly $40, 900 on account of in
terest Cn the public debt, $12, $4,000 was paid
to the Indians and Sill, ,29O, 900 was dlsbursed
on civil and miscellaneous account
At this time it is impossible to state with
any degree of certainty what the war with
Spain and the troubles in the Philippines
have cost during this year, but an approx
nation has been made of the actual cash
payments on these accounts which places the
amount at $23O,OOO, 900. A calculation has
been made at the treasury which shows that
leaving out of the reckoning the $3.50 900, 900
expended this year on account OF the war, the
500 900 900 produced by the war revenue act
and the $11, ,79S, ,314 received from the Central
Pacific the figures would show surplus for
the year approximating $20,000,000,

THEY FAVOR ANNEXATION
Cutans and Spaniards in Mexico Fear Home
Politicians.
They Point Out the Danger of Giving
the Island Over to Pro-
fessiOnaIs.

MEXICO CITY, Mex, April 1.-THE res
ldent Cubans for the most part favor the
annexation of the Island of Cuba to the
United States, and the Spanish capitalists
who have left Cuba and taken up residence
here are of the same opinion. The Herald
says on this point:
Cuba. like Spain and like the United
States, has its class of professional poll
ticians, who are a menace to it's peace and
tranquility. This mob, hungry for spoils,
threatens all sorts of deviltry if they be
not provided for All this will have a
familiar sound at Washington, and even
the politicians there must have sentimental
clamors and fraternal feeling for the
clamorous claimants OF Cuba, but what
Cuba needs for the sake of hard working
peasantry and her property owners is a
large period of peace, and the United States
should definitely announce that the Amer
leans will garrison the island for ten years
and not a day less Web have many Span
lardS in Mexico, recently arrived from
Cuba, who distrust the future of the island
fearing the United States may give too free
hand to the professional element Now
Cuba needs every industrious man, every
enterprising capitalist, be he Spaniard
American or native, and the silly condition
of parties who were never near the firing
in the late war should be stopped at once
giving the decent and laborious people a
chance to go to work.

GRIEVANCE OF HACkMEN
Statement Made to Commissioners by Central
Labor Union Committee.
Alleged Discrimination IA gainst the
Public Cabmen in Favor of the
Pennsylvania Railway stand.

A committee from the Central Labor
Union, consisting of Messrs.; Milford Spohn
Wliiaam Marsh, Frank Mace, John Wolf
and II. W. Szegedy, called upon District
Commissioner Wight today in the interests
OF the public hackmen, and cabmen occupy
ing the stand at the 9th street. railroad sta
ton. Mr.. Spohn acted as spokesman, and
explained to MIR. Wight that the public
vehicle drivers there are being dscrim-
mated against, in their opinion, by the cab
service of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. Mr. Spohn Claimed that the cabmen
of the railroad company are permitted by
the regulations of the Commissioners to
charge for carrying the baggage of passen-
gers, while the public cabmen are required
to carry it free. He also stated that en-
ployes of the railroad allowed to oc-
cupy box on the sidewalk in front Of
the station and to solicit business, while
the same privileges are not granted to the
public drivers on the stand. On behalf of
the public drivers, Mr.. Spohn asked that
the Commissioners issue an order placing
them on the same footing with the drivers
of the railroad company.
Mr. Wight, in reply, said the Commission
erS never intended to discriminate against
the public drivers on that stand or on any
other, and he invited the attention of the
committee to the amendment to the hack
regulations made by the Commissioners the
10th of last October. This amendment,
stated Mr. Wight, reads as follows:
When passenger desires to have bag
gage carried with him the driver shall be
entitled to make charge not to exceed %
cents for each trunk and 10 cents for each
large valise or bag. Each passenger shall
be entitled also to have conveyed without
extra charge such other small packages is
can be conveniently carried within the
hack, and the driver shall eoad and unload
all baggage without extra charge
The amended regulations, said Mr.. Wight,
apply alike to all drivers of public vehicles,
and he also stated that if there is any
solicitation of business at the railroad sta
tion such as by leaving the stand and
driving up to the entrance. 1t Is unlawful,
whether done by the employees of the rail-
road company or by the other men on the
stand. AS to the box located on the side
walk in front of the station, Mr.. Wight
said the Commissioners permitted its erec-
ton and use under the authority of an act
of Congress, people engaged in business In
a building on business street being en-
titled to SO extend their facilities. He sus-
gested that the public hackmen can pro-
tect themselves against unfair discrimina-
ton by prosecuting any one observed to be
violating the law.
The committee departed, apparently
pleased with the Information gained from
the Commissioner
