A Nebraska regiment just returned
from Manila reports that only one
man from that command re-enlisted,
although special efforts ere made to
secure their enlistment. The men are
not in sympathy with the war and de-

fact this country is at war with apeo-
pie who are fighting for liberty, and
a liberal and patriotic American can
not participate in such war without

The Defense Makes . Desperate FlghG
Against lntroducsion In Evidence %
the Books OF the Rank

Philadelphia, April lin the trial
OF ex-senator Quay today his lawyers
began what Is regarded as the all-im-
porrant contention in their fight fer
his acquittal. namely. that the books
OF the broken Peoples bank are not
competent testimony against the az
cused man, and, therefore, should not
be admitted in evidence. On the dee is
ion OF this point rests the entire fabric
OF the prosecutions case. Should
Judge Biddle decide the point well
taken the commemorative case viii
necessarily collapse.
The district attorney opened the
proceedings in this phase or the case.
by Offering in evidence the books OF the
bank extending over a number OF years
and along With them the account books,
letter press book and letters from Sem
ator Quay and State Treasurer Hay
wood found in the desk OF Cashier Hop
kins after the official had committed
suicide. He read a long summary OF
what the books and papers showed and
stated what he expected TO prove by
them: to-wit, that through a conspira-
cy with Cashier Hopkins State Treas
urere Haywood and other state treas-
urers and possibly other officials OF the
bank, Senator Quay used a certain
nxed amount OF state money deposited
in the institution and received interest
on another fixed portion OF the state
deposit.
Judge Biddle win probably decide to-
! morrow whether the books OF the bank
are admissible. II he decides that they
are. Mr.. Quay's lawyers will next take
up the memorandum books and letters
belonging to Hopkins and oppose their
consideration as valid testimony
Previous to the presentation OF the
bank books by Mr.. Rothermel, the ex-
animation OF Receiver Barlow was con-
Guided and ev-Judge James Gay Cor
don, who, the adherents OF Senator
Quay declare, is responsible for what
they term the conspiracy against their
| favorite, gave testimony in corrobora--
tion and explanation OF Mr.. Barlow'R
statement.
Mr.. Barlow created a sensation by
the statement that he had broken open
the dead cashiers desk and taken
therefrom books and letters appertain-
ing to the Quay trial at the behest OF
mysterious informant who spoke to
him over the telephone from Harris
| burg and stated that there was q plof
on foot to steal the compromising doe
uments that night. He was, he said
never able to learn who his mysterious.
friend was. The fact was CLEANED from.
MI. Barlow that the bank books and
letters were practically in the controI
! OF Judge Gordon from April until Sep
| tember Of last year. He considered Ia is
| proper, as Judge Gordon was the cor
| hdential advisor OF President McManes

Paris, April 1.-THE Echlaire this

Senator Trarieux, made before the

vision proceeding, in the course Of
which M. Trarieux said that Count To-

toned had been given to the German
attache by a person other than Drey-
fus and that the handwriting Of the
bordereau was that Of the officer who
gave the documents to the attache.
Comparison, he said, would be easy,
as the attache possessed voluminous
correspondence Of that officer.
Count Torieli further told him that
an attache Of the Italian embassy
showed him (the ambassador a letter
from the German attache stating this
and asserting that he did not know
Dreyfus and attributing to Count Es-

GERMANY CoNCLIATORY.
Sir Frank Lascalles, the British am

WHAT is SAID AT BRITISH FOR
EIGN OFFICE.
London. April 12.-The outbreak in
Samoa just when the powers had
agreed upon the appointment of a
commission to settle the difficulties
there has caused great annoyance and
disappointment at the foreign office
here, where it is regarded as making
the already serious complications still
graver. While We have difficulty in ex-
messing definite nf he h
developments, it is acknowledged that
the foreign office officials think it has
been manifested that there has been
hasty and aggressive action upon the
part of Herr Rose, the German consul.
Although he may have many technical
reasons for the part he has played in
behalf of German interests, it is as
serted that he has been the prime cause
Of the outbreak, which, it is added,
will necessarily greatly embarrass the
endeavors which the three powers are
making to restore a satisfactory and
amicable state of affairs.
The foreign Office officials appear to
think that it was obviously the duty
of the three consuls to uphold the de-
cision of the supreme court, which,
according to the kilograms received,
decided to reinstate Tanu in place Of
the provincial government and that the
action OF Herr Rose in issuing a coun-
ter proclamation supporting the rebel
lious faction could not but have a dis
astrous effect, as shown by the fight
ing described in todays dispatches.
Further, the officials of the foreign
office think it impossible to say to a
certainty how events will develop, but
they are of the opinion that it is high
time the commissioners got to work, in
order to settle once for all the deplor-
able state Of affairs which has arisen
in Samoa. The dispatch received by the
British admiralty from Apia, after CIV
ing the list of killed and wounded,
adds: 1.-The British and American au-
thorities used their utmost endeavors,
previous to the fighting. to reach a
peaceful settlement"
