AguinaIdo's Opinion.

MANILA, May 17.-Aguinaldo, in an
interview today, expressed the opinion
that the American Government of the
Philippines, in order to be unquestion-
ably satisfactory, should conform
strictly to the constitution. Asked
whether he considered the Filipinos
capable of exercising all the privileges
guaranteed by a literal Interpretation
and application of the constitution,
he declined to express an opinion.
Concerning the political and com
mercial future of the archipelago, Ag-
uinaldo was reserved. He said it was
hardly time to discuss it while in what
he considered to be captivity. The
military officials say he is kept guarded
for his own protection. Ag-
uinaldo says that he knows of no enc

WASHINGTON, May T.-Figures have
been compiled here showing that the to-
tai loss to the Government of the Unit
ed States from Its foundation to this
time from defalcations by officials
amounts to about $4,000, 900. For twenty
years after the organizat ton of the
Government there was not single def

the accounts OF Government officials be-

there was a very marked increase. len
years from 1860 to 1870 exceeded any sim

UTAH SUGAR ALL MARKETED.
Remainder Of Output LIS Taken by
Jobhera.

SALT LAKE, May 1S.-Ihe remainder
of the output of the Utah Sugar Com
pany and the Ogden Sugar Company for
the season of 19O0-1901 has been market
ed. few days ago the balance remain
ing on hand was apportioned among the
jobbers of this city and Ogden, and the
seasons business closed The jobbers
have advanced the price of beet sugar
to the retailers, making the price now
the same as that asked for the Califor-
mia cane sugar. California beet sugar
has been out of the market for some
two months.
The early closing of the season for the
two Utah refineries is believed to be due
in measure to the marketing of a con
siderable quantity of the seasons output
at outside points, notably upon the Mis-
souri, river, to which they have fifty
cents per 100 pounds rate
The sugar market is strong-the price
of raw sugars having advanced one
eighth cent in New York within ten
days, without the price of refined being
changed. The condition of the raw SUI
gar market gives rise to the belief that
another upward turn in the refined su-
gar market may be expected at any
time.
The demand locally is good, as is al
ways the case at this season of the year.

SOLDIER UNDER CHARGES.
Alleged to Have Stoned Car and
Threatened Conductor.

Conductor A. C. Daniel, in charge of mo-
tar car No. 233 Of the Anacostia line, had
his car bombarded with stones by a col
ored soldier, and was threatened himself
with a knife in the hands of the angry
man, about II o'clock this morning. AL
fred Simms, twenty-one years old and over
six feet tall, was subsequently arrested and
held at the Anacostia police station for the
alleged offense. The statement made by
the conductor to the police was that
Simms, who was attired in his uniform, was
stretching out his feet on one of the seats
of the motor car and that he was asked
to take them down. He became angry, and
at the corner of Monroe street and Morris
road drew knife with the expressed in
tention, it is charged, of doing the conduc-
tor an injury. The conductor seized the
brake handle to protect himself and
number of persons who observed what was
in progress started toward the scene. Tho
soldier then jumped from the car and be-
gan to hurl stones at the conductor and
the car.
When the car had switched over to the
other track a short distance above and
was passing Maple avenue. Simms, 1t is
alleged. was in waiting, and he repeated
his performance of stoning the car. Con-
ductor Daniel went after the police, and
Sergeant w. I. Anderson and Officers j.
w. Mccormick and j. F. Reagan started
in pursuit of Simms. After long chase
they arrested Simfns near the corner of the
Hamilton road and Stanton avenue. He
made no resistance. Simms stated that
he has recently returned from duty with
the army in the Philippines, and that he
has re-enlisted in the 18th Infantry. He
was to have left Washington tonight for
Chicago, but with charges pending against
him of assault and disorderly conduct he
will be held for q hearing in the Police
Court. The Washington barracks was no
titled of his arrest.

War Department Criticized for It's De.
sire to Cut Down Gable Tolls.

With the disarmament of the volunteer
army June 30 last the War Department
adopted new policy with respect to re-
ports of casualties occurring among the
troops in the Philippines, in Cuba and in
other outlying possessions. During the ex-
istence of the volunteer army all casualties
were reported to the War Department
without delay by cable This rule applied
to enlisted men as well as to officers and
to regulars as well as to volunteers; also to
deaths resulting from disease as well as
to deaths on the field of battle. Un.ier the
rule now In force nearly all casualties are
reported to the War Department by mail,
weekly or monthly, occasion requires.
An exception to this rule Is made in the
case of casualties involving officers Of high
rank or those of exceptional interest in
which cases authority is given to llse tire
caDle. Inc main reason for the change IN
practice is the heavy cost of cable tolls
and the desire of the department to nave
possession of full information in each case
before any public announcement is made
There is, however, considerable criticism
over the new rule on the part of members
OF the families of soldiers serving in the
distant possessions, the chief IF which is
that the government is showing less con-
sideration to the regular troops than it did
to the volunteers. Ii being held that there
is no more reason for economy in this re-
spect now than there was during the ex-
tstence of the volunteer army. These
critics point out that the friends and rela-
tiyes of regular soldiers are just as much
interested in their welfare as were the
friends and relatives of members of the
volunteer army. Under the existing prac-
tice of reporting casualties by mail news
of the deaths of soldiers In the Philippines
Is not known at the War Department or
to their families for five or six weeks after
occurrence.

FRANCE MAY FIGHT TURKEY
RUMOR OF A BREAK IN DIPLOMATIC
RELATIONS.
Foreign ONCE Refuses to Confirm or
Deny Sensational Report From
COnstantinOple.

PARIS, August 5.-The foreign office here
refuses either to confirm or deny the adj
vices from Constantinople saying the
French ambassador there, M. Constans,
has handed over the question Of the right
of French company, known as the Quays
company, to enjoy rights claimed under
convention to his government, at the same
time recommending his own recall and
that the passports of the Turkish ambassa-
dor at Paris, Salih-Munir Bey. be delivered
to him.
The Temps says there Is reason to believe
the foreign Office is considering the recall
Of M. Constans and giving the Turkish
ambassador his passports.
The Francois thinks that instead Of
breaking diplomatic relations with Turkey
the French foreign Office will suspend them
by giving M Constans unlimited leave of
absence. An immediate decision is improb-
able. as M. Delcasse, the French foreign
minister, and other high foreign Office Of
ficials are absent On their holidays

a straw hat that had been blown from the
head of one of his friends Mr.. Walker
who was a bricklayer, about Atty years old,
and lived at 1876 Carroll street southeast,

nephew, George Handy, and friend. The
trio strolled out on the pier where they en-
joyed watching other excursionists catch
ing crabs. There was stiff breeze blow
ing, and when the hat was blown over
board the crabbers did their best to get it
in their nets but failed. Mr.. Walker,
against the advice of his friends, removed
his coat. hat and shoes and plunged in
the water. He soon recovered the hat and
started back towards the pier Evidently
realizing he could not climb the pier he
changed his course and swan in the direc-
ton Of the shore. Suddenly he disappeared
beneath the surface. Boats were sent out
and a search was made for the body.
Graphing irons We're used and men re-
manned on the water until late hour. At
