General Greene Sharply Reprimanded
by the Admiral.

Pfttsburg, Pa, May PA letter just
received from Captain j. A. Loar of
company z, Tenth Pennsylvania volun-
teers. now in the Philippines, throws
some interesting light on the much-dis-
cussed retirement of General Greene.
The letter tells of an open rupture be-
tween Admiral Dewey and General
Greene in which the New York officer
was ordered from the flagship Olympia,
was received by G. r. Melville Loar,
the captains son. The officer, who is
known in Western Pennsylvania as the
Fighting Captain" says:
"It was the opinion of Admiral Dewey
that the battle of Malate was not neces-
sary, and he said that not a life should
have been lost in the battle of Manila.
In company with some Red Cross peO-
pie I went board the Olympia and
heard Admiral Dewey remark this. Ad-
ed warmly over the battle of Manila
While the fight was going on General
Greene went in a launch to the Olym-
pia. Admiral Dewey met him at the
gang-Dlank and was evidently much
surprised to see him there at that time.
Before General Greene could come on
board the admiral said: is it not true
that battle is going On2' Yes, such is
the case, and hear that the Tenth has
been annihilated,' replied Gen. Greene.
Admiral Dewey was so angry that he
refused to permit Greene to board the
vessel and ordered him back to his men,
where, he said, he belonged"
In another part of his letter Captain
Loar speaks of Colonel Hawkins of the
Tenth speaking with General Greene
regarding the blunder which led the
Tenth into unnecessary fire. Captain
who interfered with the promotion of
Colonel Hawkins.

RECOVERED THE JEWELS
Mexican and Two Spaniards Had
Desecrated the Cuban Shrine.

Santiago, Cuba, May 27.-The Catho-
lies of this place are holding a general
rejoicing over the recovery of the head
of the Virgin of Ell Cobre and nearly
all of the missing jewels and gold orna
ments. Today the three perpetrators
of the Dissertation of the shrine-one
Mexican and two Spaniards-were cap
tured by Francisco Guitterez, chief of
the secret police.
A part of the jewels were found in
Santiago and the head of the Virgin
was found in rubbish heap. The
bishop and several priests examined the
jewels and found only a few missing.
There will be special mass of thanks
giving on Sunday in the Cathedral at
Santiago and in the church at Ell CObre.
The local police made an unsuccessful
search for the Valuabies, trying to make
Il political scandal, and accusing Gutter
rez, who is a Spaniard, of being the in
stigator Of the robbery. They placed
every possible obstacle in the way of
the search. A large number of people
are preparing to visit Ell CObre on Sun
daV.

swim beyond it's meshes. Then the
horses are mounted and the Cossacks

Then the band wheels about and gall

ARBITRATION LEADS
In the Work of the Peace Congress at
The Hague.

London, May 27.-The correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph at The Hague
says:
Peace prospects touched highwater
mark today when the conference found
itself face to face with arbitration in
practicable and acceptable form and as
permanent international achievement.
This honor is mainly due to Sir Julian
Pauncefote. When the members of the
arbitration section had finished read
ing the Russian proposals on this sub
Ject Sir Julian expressed his complete
approval of them, but said it would be
great pity if the conference failed to
embody the principle of arbitration in
some permanent shape.
g beg now to propose he said, the
formal establishment of a permanent
arbitration tribunal, empowered to deal
with all matters in dispute capable of
reference to the judgment of an umpire.
L do not intend to trouble you with de-
tails as to its mechanism today nor I'M
til you accept the principle of my pro-
posal. Therefore I ask you to accept
the principle now
I'M. De Staal al once declared: Sir
Julian Pauncefote having presented his
proposal, we are prepared to supple
ment and complete the printed sugges-
lions just distributed by others dealing
with permanent arbitration board.
"Thereupon the Russian president of
the conference drew a paper from his
pocket and laid it upon the table then
and there The paper contained a
foundation of permanent tribunal,
suggesting the substitution of a new
clause and referring to an appendix not
yet drawn up. The amazed delegates
crowded around Sir Julian, cOngratu-
lating him upon having played the win
ming card, which had so quickly precip
itated the Russian alternative scheme.
Some stood aghast, as the matter was
not contemplated in their instructions.
Finally it was decided to refer the mat
ter to a subcommittee.
''The Americans, it is believed, are
ella borating an organic statute for the
erection of a permanent tribunal, which
will proba bly, be laid before the confer
ence and be supported by the British
delegates when the principle embodied

LIKE FAIRY LAND.
The Twombley's Will Give a Fete to
500 Guests.

New York, May 27.-Mr. and Mrs.
Hamilton Mckay Twombley will give
a fete at F1orham Park Wednesday
which will surpass in elaborate detail
anything heretofore attempted in that
line. Their entertainments near New
York have always been the most mag
nificent society has known, and the 500
invited guests to whom invitations have
been sent expect the coming function
to be of a very surprising nature. The
out-of-door decorations will make this
affair notable.
The lawns, walks and bowers of the
grounds will be Illuminated with thou
sands of various colored lights. Odd
effects will be produced by placing
globes in the trees, and there will be
many special designs which have only
been limited at, because it is desired
to surprise the guests. In addition to
the illumination there will be bands
and orchestras scattered about and hid
den behind the greenery, SO that it will
be as much like fairyland as prosaic
mortals can imagine. Mr. Twombley
has spent several millions on his home
at Madison, n. ].

SHY ABOUT HER AGE.
School Marin Bitterly Rebuked a
LAWYER Who Asked.

New York, May 27.-Miss Margaret j.
Durham. who has been a public school
teacher for a quarter of century, is
sensitive about her age. She is at pres
ent teacher in a school at Fordham.
She was filed with Indignation last
evening when asked before Surrogate
VarnUIn. during the recent contest over
the will of her mother, Mrs Margaret
Durham, what her age was. She flush
ed and, looking angriIy at her ques-
toner. exclaimed that he ought to be
ashamed of himself for asking a WO-
man such a question, and, as it was
none of his business and did not relate
to the case before the court, she did
not propose to answer it.
Her lawyer tried to persuade her to
be calm by telling her that it was not
necessary to tell her exact age, but
that she might say whether she was 40
or not. She still insisted that she
should not be compelled to tell how old
she was, and appealed to the surrogate,
who told her that nothing wrong was
intended in asking the question, and
that she might tell him her answer.
Miss Durham took a piece of paper
and handed it to Surrogate Varnum,
who, after looking at the figures, smiled
but said nothing. 1t was a confession
that she was more than 40.
Miss Durham showed her temper sew
eral times during the examination Not
withstanding that she was constantly
reminded by the surrogate not to make
voluntary statements, she insisted upon
having her own way, and kept on
talking and gesticulating in dramatic
manner. When she was asked if she
was married she raised her hand in a
solemn manner, and with much vehe-
mence exclaimed, NO, thank the Lord,
I am not"
At another time she declared that she
did not believe that any woman should
support any man. After she had said
that both her father and mother had
sweet and mild dispositions, the counsel
unW1ttingly asked her from what
branchof the family she got her dispo-
sition, and she smiled as she replied,
Possibly from my grandfather
Miss Durham and her sister Eliza
beth are the benefciaries under the will
of their mother, who died in September
last, leaving them a small piece of
property. Their two brothers and four
sisters were ignored. The contest is
on the ground of undue influence There
will be another hearing lkext week.

ASSEMBLY BILL A.

II e menace to the mining industry
con lined in this measure has already
call, d a halt in several mining sales
which have been in contemplation for
sine time i'll different parts of the state
and which, we are informed, would
surrey nave been ~consumated, but for this
and other threatened legislation.
Last Mondays action of the Assembly
disposed of one dangerous fling at min
ing md prospecting M from conversa-
tons we have had with some of our best
posted mining men, we earnestly beg of
our Legislature not to pass such a bill in
to a law at this time.
r" pass it at this time will be equivo-
lent to hosting the red flag of danger to
all e. pital that may be seeking invest
ment in II midst.
Tv years ago an exactly similar bill
was introduced and promptly defeated
and 1t that time it was freely stated the
prop sition was intended to raise the
price of bonds and script of Lincoln
cour-y. At that time it was said the
bOL,s and script outstanding amounted
to more than four hundred thousand dol
lars. and if such a measure as Assembly
bill Al, which is now before his House
We're to become a law, it would increase
the value of those alone more than one
hundred thousand dollars which would
make a good speculation for SutrO Il Co.
of4OS Montgomery street San Francisco,
who then held and perhaps still hold
these securities.
We cannot think it wise for this legis-
laturo at this particular and critical time
to lend itselft0 a measure that is sure tC
injura, and delay and perhaps entirely
prevent desirable investments in Our
chief industry.
As We said two years ago and again re-
peatel last Saturday, we think this legis,
lature should not tinker with any of oul
present laws relating to mining. where
there is the slightest cause to fear tina
they may retard or alarm capital.
We believe that any attempt, wen by
introducing u%nfriendly laws, or in any
manner change the existing laws that cal
effect mining is fraught with the creates
dangers and is certain to drive away cap
ital from our borders.
