opinion recently expressed by Mr..

ruinous. A young man needs all

ment providing for the redistrict.
ing of counties into county com
missioners' districts, the board OF
commissioners redistricted Brevard
county this week according to pop
ulation, and it has made decided
change. Where the north end of
the county formerly had two cOun-
ty commissioners districts, now
there is only one; and the south
end of the county, formerly con-
stituting the fifth district, now
comprises the fourth and fifth,
thus giving two commissioners
south of Sebastian.
How this change will apply to
the appointment of new members
of the board of county commits
siOners as selected at the primary
election last fall is hard to say.
That election did not decide the
commissioner for the first district.
Now Mr.. Walker, who was elected
for the second district, is resident
of the first; Mr.. Mot, who was
elected for the third is resident
of the second; Mr.. COnkling, who
was elected for the fourth is resi-
dent of the third; Mr.. Bell, who
was elected for the fifth, is resi-
dent of the fifth district, so district
No. 4 is unprovided for.
Inasmuch as the commissioners
in districts two and three were
elected for that territory (the num-
bers having been changed to meet
the requirements of the law it is
possible that they will be appoint
ed by the governor, but how the
matter will be settled in the first
district is a matter for conjecture.
Mr.. Walker being a resident of the
new first district, and having had
no opposition in the primary, may
receive the appointment, but a
man is necessary for the fourth
district, which includes NarrOws,
Woodley, Fort Pierce and Fort
Drum.
There are approximately speak
ing 400 registered voters in the
county; this gives about $50 as the
proper proportion for each district.
This number could not be equit-
ably divided between the fourth
and fifth districts on account of
the location of the more pOpulous
settlements; but in the other dis
tricts it was closely approached,
the number in the first being 297;
in the second 800; in the third 2S5.
The fourth district has 800 votes.
the fifth 20l.
The first commissioners district
now comprises LaGrange, Titus
vile and Haulover precincts; the
second comprises City Point, Co
Goa, Merritt, Canaveral and Geor-
giana; the third comprises Eau
Gallie, Melbourne, Malabar, Micco,
Banyan and Sebastian; the fourth
comprises Narrows, Woodley, Fort
Pierce and Fort Drum; the fifth
comprises Eden, AnkOna and
White City.

OFFICERS GOTOPRLSON
THREE OF THOSE CONVICTED OF FRAUD
IN MANILA SENT TO BILIBID.

Manila Nav 23-The gates of Bilibid Prison,
Manila, swung tonight and admitted a mule
wagon bearing three former United States Of
ffcers, who reluctantly alighted and began to
serve sentences in expiation of crimes in con-
nection with the commissary scandals. The
sentences, which read to the convicted
men this afternoon, will be promulgated to-
morrow. Captain Frederick j. Barrows late
depot, quartermaster of the Department of
Southern Luzon is sentenced to five years i'm
prisonment; Captain James c. Reed. late depot
commissary at Manila, to three years imprison-
ment, and Lieutenant Frederick Boyer. late
depot commissary at Calamba, to one years
Imprisonment
By permission of the provost marshal, General
George W. Davis. a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press had an interview with the prisoners.
Captain Reed and Captain Barrows seemed COM
paratively unmoved by their situation. Lieu
tenant Boyer protested his innocence and seemed
vindictive toward Captain Barrows. who. he
alleged. was alone guilty of misappropriating
bacon.
Major Hale. commandant of the prison, cleared
a storeroom to be occupied by the trio apart
from the Filipino prisoners, but as Lieutenant
Boyer avoids speaking to Captain Barrows other
arrangements are probable.
An examination of the effects of Knud
Engelskjon, the Norwegian through whom the
MahomeIan chiefs of Mindanao made Overtures
of peace to General Otis. and who was recently
arrested for embeZzlement. discloses the fact
that he had been acting as an agent of the in
surgents since 1895 He carried as his Gre
dentials letter from the Filipino Junta in
Hong-Kong to Agunaldo. and pretence of
examining mining property in Mindanao he
visited the insurgents. Accompanying him
G. F. st. Clair. American The latter pre-
tended to be an Englishman, but to-day he
acknowledged that he was acting as the agent
Of Colonel Cotton, assistant collector of customs
in Manila, and S II. Steel. Manila lawyer, in
an endeavor 10 secure possession of mining prop
erty in MindanaO before the American troops
arrived The insurgents suspected ST Clair's
nationality, and twice sentenced him to be shot
but he managed 10 escape.

THE CUBAN CONVENTION.

VOTE ON THE PLATT AMENDMENT.

Havana, May 23.-Juan Gualberto Gomez con-
tinued his speech against the Platt amendment
before the Cuban Constitutional Convention to-
day Sehor Sanguily replied to him. The close
ing remarks of Seior Gomez were eloquent. The
convention adjourned without voting. Seniors
Llorente, Zayas and Silva gave notice that they
would speak tomorrow. Senor Mendez Capote.
the president of the convention. announced that
he would vote for the Platt amendment. The
National party has sent out notices 10 its mem
bers who are delegates to the convention that
they are free 70 vote according 10 their opinions
and are not bound by the resolution against the
amendment adopted by the National party
month ago. These notices are due TO the state
ment Of Sehor Gener that he could not vote in
favor Of the amendment owing to the platform
OF the National party. The Conservatives claim
a small majority in favor of the amendment.
The Plante.s' Association has asked the
vention to request General Wood TO grant an
other extension of mortgages and TO leave the
final settlement of this matter TO the Cuban Re
public. The convention decided not 10 inter

COMPROMISE EXPECTED IN PEKING.
MINISTER'S REFUSE TO LIMIT THE INDEM-

Washington, May 23-Mr. Rockhill has con-
frrned the news from Peking that the foreign
ministers have declined TO accede to the sug-
gestion of the United States that the total of
the indemnity TO be collected from China shall
be limited to $500. 100000 1t is expected that
he will continue his efforts in the direction
OF keeping down the maximum OF claims even
while abandoning for the sake of harmony the
figure named and it is believed that the out
come will be a compromise upon a figure be-
tween $500 600 600 and the maximum of $751;
900 900, claimed by the powers. In the effort
TO keep down the total Mr.. Rockhii looks for

courts. combined with the red tape in the Post

stenographers and translatOrs have work ahead
