THE CRUISER BALTIMORE.
The Warshfp, with Rear-Admiral
Watson on Board, i'm Quaran-
tine at New York.

New York, Sept. 9.-The United
States cruiser Baltimore, in command
of Rear-Admiral Watson, has arrived,
The Baltimore has been making a
slow trip home from Yokohama, from
which port she sailed on May 1. On
her voyage she made stops at Shang-
hal, Hong Kong, Singapore, Colombo,
Suez, Malta, Gibraltar, Havre, Graves
end. Belfast and Greenock, leaving
the latter port on August 20.
The Baltimore will go to the Brook
]yn navy yard for extensive repairs.
As she has been in service for about
ten years., it will be impossible to
know the full extent of repairs need
ed until after she has been surveyed.
She will probably be out of commits
sion for a year or more
Owing to the existence of bubonic
plague at Glasgow at the time of the
vessels stay at Greenock, which is
only 25 miles from Glasgow, quaran-
tine will be maintained over her at
her anchorage for a time. No per
son will be allowed to go on
shore without the permission
of the health officer of the port. The
temperature of all on board will be
taken before any disposition is made

BY MILITARY COMMISSIONS.
How the FiIipfnos Are Tried for
Crimes and Punished-Safe-Guard-
ed by Gen. Macarthur.

Washington, Sept. 10.-The judge
advocate general of the army has re-
ceived the records OF several cases of
native Filipinos tried by military COM
missions for various crimes, such as
murder, robbery, etc. In n case a
native was convicted of murder, ar
son, robbery and burglary, and was
sentenced to be hanged. The sentence
was approved by Gen. Macarthur and
carried into effect at the town of
Jaro, Panay, July IL.
In another case a native was found
guilty by a military commission at
San Fernando de Union, of lurking
about a boa occupied by the army of
the United States and acting as a spy
in time of i~nsurrection against the
United States. He was sentenced to
be hanged.
Gen. Macarthur disapprOved the
findings and sentence in this case,
but directed that the accused be held
as a prisoner of war. He said that
the evidence of record, while con-
elusive as to the connection of the ac-
cused with the insurgent forces, does
not, in his opinion, definitely establish

the American army was for the pur-
pose of and with the intent necessary
to constitute him a spy as thai term is
defined by the laws of war.
In another case a native was found
guilty of ''instigating riots and or
dering killing of Chinese residents in
violation of the laws and usages of
war;" also robbery, and was sentenced
to be confined at hard labor for three
years. On account of irregularities in
the record the proceedings and sem
tence were disapproved by Gen. Mac
Arthur.
Orders in the cases of two other ma
tives are published. One was accused
of robbery and murder. He was found
guilty of robbery, but not of the more
serious crime, and was sentenced to
the p~enitentiary for ten years. Gen.
Macarthur disapproved the sentence
in this case, also, on of ir-
Irregularities in the proceedings.
The other prisoner was charged
with violation of the laws of wal in
giving information to the enemy. He
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
the penitentiary for one year, which
sentence was approved by the review
ing authorities.

A HISTORY.
Strange Career of Sir Donald Smith
an Notable fn
Canada.

Necessity forced the Hudson Bay
company, a trading corporation en-
gagged in collecting furs, to become
a government that ruied with despotic
power from the great lakes to the
Arctic circle. How absolute this power
might be, and in some cases was. is
illustrated by the strange history of
Sir Donald Smith, now ord Strath-
coma, whose name il honored in every
part of the dominion. The history,
which contains all the elements of a
romance or a melodrama, is told by
Rev. DIR. Field in his book of travel,
'tOur Western Archipelago"
More than so years ago a young
Scotchman came from his native land
to take a place in the Hudson Bay
company. He served it with scrupu-
lous fidelity, and had begun to feel
at home in the place where he was
stationed.
"One day an Indian runner came to
him with an order to leave his post
in one hour and betake himself to
Labrador. The order did not permit
him to wait to pack his clothing,
WHICH. 50 he was luIOIIuC0s WOu1a NC
sent after him.
although the order exiled him to
an American Siberia, and was unac-
companied by a word of explanation,
he obeyed it without remonstrance.
Within the hour he was on his way
to the distant and inhospftable coast.
He was kept there % years. On the
death of the governor of the COM
pany who had sent him into exile he
was recalled.
las during this long, trying time he
had shown himself a wise, faithful
servant of the company, he was now
promoted from position TO position,
until finally he became it's governor.
DIR. Field thinks the exile was .
harsh measure and the eas OF it q
mystery; but an old settler put it in
another light. The company governed
by military discipline, and ordered
those subordinates to perilous services
whom it could rely on to endure pri-
walton and cope with danger in the
spirit of a gallant soldier"

wonders of wireless TeleTr.phy.

Bradford, England, Sept. 9.-At the
session of the physical science section
of the British Association for the Adj
vancement of Science, now in annual
session here, Sir VIM. Henry Preece,
consulting engineer TO the British
post Office, made the interesting an
nouncement that, as a result of his
experiments with wireless telegraphy,
he had found it quite possible to con-
vey audible speech six to eight miles
across the sea without wires. He add
ed that it was a practical CONNER
ciaI SYSTEM.

THE Chinese SITUATION.
The Government Said to Have In
ferentiai knowledge of the At
titude of ALI the Powers.
The Administration said to be Cast
ing About for the Right Man or
Men to Represent 1t in NegO-
t~iatiOns with Chfna-NO New Note
Has Been Sent Out.

Washington, Sept. SIT is known
that the government has inferential
knowledge of the attitude of all the
powers regarding the Russian pro-
posal, but it is still awaiting official
adyices as to some of them. The in
formation concerning those regard
ing which no official announcement
has been received, it is stated, is prac-
tically that which is in possession of
the general public, and is based on
newspaper reports, and the opinions
of official organs of the various oun
tries.
An American Commission.
It seems to be regarded as highly
probable in official circles that when
the time arrives for the actual nego-
tiations looking to a settlement with
China, this government will appoint
q commission for that purpose, rath-
er han place the negotiations in the
hands of a single individual. There
have been various suggestions as to
who might be appointed upon such
a commission, but it is positively
stated that as yet no definite selec-
tons have been made.
As to Its Numerical Strength.
As to the numerical strength of
such a commission, the general i'm
preston seems to be that it would not
consist of more than five members,
more likely three, and possibly of
only two. 1t can be stated upon the
highest authority that there Will be
upon the commission some American
of pre-eminent ability, whose reputa-
ton would be an immediate guaran-
tee to the American people that
American interests would be safe in
his hands, and whose standing before
the world would be such as to give
him and those associated with him
prestige abroad.
Looking For the Right Man.
1t is believed that the administra-
ton is now casting about for such n
man to head the commission when it
shall be ready to appoint it. The
names of ex-President Harrison, ex-
Secretary of State Day, and John
Bassett Moore, who was secretary of
the peace commission at Paris, have
been mentioned in this connection.
No New Note Yet.
No information is obtainable re-
garding the new note, which it has
been rumored the government was
preparing for transmission to the
powers. The only thing definite con-
corning it is the positive state
ment hat it had not been
sent either Thursday night,
or up to noon Friday. No representa-
tions have been made by this gov
eminent looking to a return of the
Chinese imperial authorities to Pc
kin.
A Highly Desirable Course.
Such a course on the part of the
Chinese authorities, however, would
be deemed highly desirable by this
government, because it is believed
here that a resumption of the reigns
of powers at the capital of the empire
would inevitably hasten and facilitate
the peace negotiations.

NEGOTIATIONS IN PROGRESS.
Looking For a Compromise Ar
anEemen with Russia.


Paris, Aug. S.-Active negotiations
are in progress looking to some COM
promise arrangement with Russia re-
garding the position she has assumed
towards Pekin. The communication
exchanged between the powers now
have better promise of success. The
compromise suggested, it is asserted
here. is the withdrawal of the forces
of all the powers from Pekin, leaving
an international guard to protect the
legations, which, is is further asserted
in Paris, will be allowed to remain
at the Chinese capital pending a
peace settlement. The main body of
troops, it is also said, will retire to
the neighborhood of Tien Tsin, leav-
ing sufficient forces along the road to
keep open the route and railroad be-
ween Pekin and Tien Tsin.
Russia's attitude is interpreted here
as meaning that she will withdraw
her troops outside the walls of Pc
kin, but not necessarily a great dis
tance rom that city.
