FlLIPINOS PROTEST.
Petition the Pope Against Mgr.
ChappeIle.

Manila, May IA petition is on its
all the native priests against the return
here of Archbishop Chapelle as admins
traitor and favoring the return of Arch
bishop Nozaeda, who, although in Rome,
is still archbishop of Manila, his resig
nation never having been accepted. The
opposition to Archbishop Chapelle is chief
ly on account of his expressed intention
to encourage the establishment of Ameri-
can priests in the Philippines. The petit
ton cites an American military order,
prohibiting the placing of ecclesiastics
over people who are opposed to them.
There is no probability of Archbishop
Chapelle's return or his transposition
from the archbishopric of New Orleans.
The petition indicates a change of senti-
ment with reference to Archbishop Noza-
will approve of it. The friar issue is sub
siding. If the friars return to the few
localities where they are wanted it is be-
lieved this will not concern the govern
ment unless unlawful acts are commit
ted. The question of the ownership of
suits brought by the complaining towns,
rather than on the governments initia-
tive.
Aguinaldos life is quiet. He seldom
goes out, and is always accompanied by
a guard, as there is some apprehension of
his assassination by friends of Gen. Luna
or personal enemies.

PROF. EASTMAN ACQUITTED.
His Case Results Differently From
That of Prof. Webster.

Thnt of Prof. Webster.
Cambridge, Mass. May 11.-After a long
and dramatic trial, Charles r. Eastman,
the Harvard instructor, tonight was ac-
quilted on the charge of numbering his
brother-in-law, Richard II. Grogan, Jr.,
while at target practice on July 4, last.
The jury. after listening for nearly three
weeks to a mass of testimony, followed
by two days of argument debated five
hours and a half before reaching a YER
dict. When the verdict was announced
there was a demonstration among the $50
spectators, which the court officers were
entirely unable to suppress for some min
utes.
The young mans father, who has stood
loyalty by his side through the long strain
and who has spared no expense in law
yers and experts to clear his son of the
charge, was the first to press hfs hand
as he stepped from the prisoners cage.
Before the jury left their seats Eastman
went over and shook hands with each
one and then passed out into an ante
room, where he was greeted by his rela-
tives and friends.

MARTIAL LAW TO CONTINUE.
Trouble Expected An Jacksonville
With worthless Negroes,

WIN WOrtnIesS Negroes.
Jacksonville, Fla, May 1.-THE city
will remain under martial law indefinite
ly. This was decided here to-day at a
conference between the Executive Com
mittee of the Jacksonville Relief Associa-
ton and Gov. Jennings and a special
committee of the Florida Legislature.
The executive stated plainly to the
Governor at the conference that he ap-
pretended danger from the hordes of ne
groes who have been flacking to Jackson
vile in the hope of securing free rations
without work, and 1t was believed that
the militia should remain on duty until
such time as the committee should de-
eide that their presence was unnecessary.
]. r. Parrott, chairman of the COM
missary department, stated at the confer
ence that he expects trouble when his
department puts into effect plans that are
now being considered to eliminate all un-
worthy applicants for food and work
This will be some time next week
There is plenty of work in Jacksonville
for all kinds of laborers, but many ne
groes are refusing to work. especially in
the clearing away of debris. Next week
1t is understood that these men will be
either forced to work, starve or leave the
city, and the militia will be used to en-
force this mandate.

THE TROOPS WILL REMAIN,
"oV. Jennings and Committee Con-
fer With Jacksonville PcOpIe.

Ter With Jacksonville PcOpIe
Jacksonville, May n.-Jacksonville was
visited to-day by Gov. Jennings and a
committee from the Legislature who
came to view the situation with
view to determining how long
it would be necessary for the state mil
itia to remain here on guard
A conference was held with the Jack
sonville Relief Association, and It
was decided that despite the ex-
pense of s6$$ day. the troops
should remain indefinitely, or until
semi-normal industrial conditions have
been restored No disorder is an
ticipated so long as free rations are being
distributed, but the vicious element might
give trouble, it is thought when the mo
work, no rations'' edict is enforced. The
local committee has begun to eliminate
those who are now imposing upon the
country's charity, but some days must
elapse before the process can be complet-
ed. The Jacksonville people were as
sured that the troops should remain as
long as needed.
Twelve carloads of supplies for the
destitute from the New York Chamber of
Commerce arrived to-day and were CRATE
fully received. The clothing will be espec-
tally useful.
The commissaries continue to feed sew
eral thousand persons daily
The business men generally are having
plans prepared for residences and blocks
The plans contemplate as a rule even
more substantial structures than before
Jacksonville's business is now crowded
into few blocks, and these few are so
thronged as to resemble a fairly thrifty
section of New Yorks Broadway.
Thus far the insurance companies have
settled about one-fourth of their losses,
or $1,50O0OO.
