Mia, declared that Lunas death was God
send, that he was the soul Of the rebellion
and the most sanguinary man Of all Aguipal-

fore NJ. Andre left Manila for his present
visit to Europe he obtained from the Amer
leans some concessions for the Filipino in
surgents in consideration Of Luna's formal
promise to release Spanish prisoners. Luna
afterward refused to fulfill his promise, and,

duct as treacherous and felonious, the lat
ter sent him challenge to a duel. but he
disappeared without lighting. NJ. Andre says
the assassination of Luna removes the prin-
cipal obstacle to peace. which the Americans
have now great chance OF speedily secur-
Ing, even by simple persuasion.

in our hearts already knew-that the Euro

with our enemies, and that 1t was only their
knowledge that England would support US

vented their interference Iapplause], and it
was this knowledge which made it possible
for me, when addressing a political gather

day, to take the stars and stripes in one
hand and the union jack in the other and
not to hear one dissenting voice in that vast
audience"
A fitting climax was given at this point
when Sir Edward Chichester. who had been
prevented by another engagement from
coming earlier, entered the room and was
greeted with three cheers. Sir Edward Chi
chester expressed his admiration for Admi-
raj Dewey and his officers and for the

LONDON, June 1.-THE correspondent OF

whether the Kaiser has found his road to
Damascus, says: "A Cabinet messenger ar
rived here this morning from Berlin with
fresh instructions to Count Munster. They
were of such a nature that several dele
gates remarked that new situation had
been created thereby, and they must write
home for fresh instructions. One said: Ar
bitration is getting on swimmingly.' Pos
sibly as the result of these instructions the
German delegates have become more fidg-
ETY.. Twelve of the leading delegates took
luncheon with Mr.. White. of the Ameri-
can delegation, yesterday and discussed the
proposed central bureau of a permanent tri-
bunal. Sir Julian Pauncefote suggested that
the control Of the bureau should be vested
in the Dutch government. but the Ameri-
cans raised the curious objection that, as
Holland is a monarchy, such an arrange
ment would hurt the feelings Of the citizens
of free republic. Sir Julian Pauncefote
thereupon suggested making The Hague the
seat of a permanent bureau composed of
the resident ministers Of foreign states Mr..
White suggested that the Dutch minister Of
foreign affairs should preside over the
bureau. and to this Sir Julian assented."

Sugar Bounty Bill and an Appropria-
ton for BuffaIo's Exposition.
LANSING, Mich, June 1e.-Governor Pin
gree marked the closing day Of the Legisla-
ture by sending in veto messages which
hotly criticised the Legislature for alleged
failure to carry out the peoples wishes.
The Governor vetoed the amended beet
sugar bounty bill. and also bill appropriat-
ing SAC, 900 for a state building and exhibit
at the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo
The beet-sugar bill, as finally passed, had
been recalled from the Governors office,
the Governor having recommended that the
amount paid any sugar factory be limited
to $25.000 annually. No limit was inserted
however. in the amended bill. which reduced
the manufacturers bounty from l cent to
half cent pound. The veto message said
in part:
This Legislature has passed no laws to
corporate and other properly pay its share
of taxes. II has failed utterly to carry out
the wish of the people In this respect. The
ed legislation. His Interests have been care
fully protected The effort seems to have
been made to appropriate as much money as
TO make the tax dodger bear his and its
share Of the increased expense. The Re
publican party in convention. by its plat
indorsed reforms in taxation. not one Of
which has been fulfilled. Such violations Of
faith are sometimes as dangerous to parties
as to individuals"
As to the Buffalo appropriation, the Gov
ernor said: IF this Republican Legislature
cannot afford to make the pay Of Michigan's
volunteers in the Spanish-American war at
least 81 a day it certainly should not tax
the soldiers modest home for the purpose
OF raising fund to enable tax dodgers to
exhibit their wares in neighboring State"
