,,..uo April 19.-The following is
~.,.o,5o,s address to the Filipino peo-
-I9 % made public this evening;
P's, ,.,,eva am not in error in presum-

hove recently come to my knowledge
.,,oaest with irresistible force that com
.,..o termination of hostilities and lasting
100 are not only desirable, but abso-
,.,t.l, essential to the welfare of the
philippine Islands.
.Tbe Tilipinos have never been dismay-

their advance along this path to be i'm

while il restraints them, yet enlightens
their minds and opens to them another
oo,rse presenting them the cause of
naace This cause has been joyfully en-
braced by the majority of my
fellow, countrymen who have al
ready united around the glorious
sovereign banner of the United States.
In this banner they repose their trust
and belief that under its protection the
Filipino people will attain all those prom
iced liberties which they are beginning
to eniov. The country has declared un-
mistakably in favor of peace. So be it.
There has been enough blood enough
tears and enough desclation. This wish
cannot be ignored by the men still in
arms, if they are animated by a desire
to serve our noble people. which has thus
clearly manifested its will So do 1 re-
spect this will, now that it is known to
me.
After mature elaboration I resolutely
proclaim to the world that l cannot re-
fuse to heed the voice of a people long
ing for peace, nor the lamentations of
thousands of families yearning to see
their dear ones enjoying the liberty and
the promised generosity of the great
American nation.
By acknowledging and accepting the
sovereignty of the United States through
out the Philippine archipelago, as 1 now
do and without any reservation whatso-
ever, l believe that 1 am serving thee,
my beloved country. May happiness be
thine"
TO signaize this important step in the
paelhcation of the country, Gen. MacAr-
lnur orders the release, on swearing
allegiance to the United States, of one
thousand insurgent prisoners.

EXHIBITS AT BUFFALO.
Lieut.. Robson VIII BE Among the
Most Interesting of the Navy.

Washington. April 19.-The arrange
ments for the exhibits of the State. War
and Navy Departments at the Buffalo Ex-
position are now practically complete.
The Navy Departments exhibits prom
Use well on account of a number of new
features connected with it. Probably the
most interesting will be the presence at
Buffalo during the exposition OF Naval
Constructor Richmond Pearson Hobson'
whose daring feat of sinking the Merri-
mac during the Spanish American war, as
well as his work of raising the disabled
Spanish vessels in Manila harbor, has
aroused great interest in him throughout
the country. Lieut.. Hobson was recent
ly ordered to the Bureau of Construction
and Repair for special duty. 1t has been
the desire of those in charge of the expo
sition to have this young hero or our
war with Spain connected with
the naval exhibit during the summer. but
Admiral Bowles chief constructor, was
loath to deplete his already small bureau
force TO allow Mr.. Hobson to go to Bufta-
10. However, he has now yielded to the
popular desire. and Mr.. Hobson will be
connected with the Navy Department
representation there. Secretary Long has
authorized the use of company OF ma
rines, fully equipped, who will set up
camp at the south end of the big govern
ment building.
Secretary Root has also agreed to send
a company of coast artillery. about sixty
men, who will set up a camp near the
marines and give daily exhibition drills.
These two organizations will aim to pre-
sent in the most realistic style the daily
round of work of their respective branches
of the service.

A FOREIGN MIRAGE
LONDON SPECTATORS QUEER LU-
CUBRATIONS.
AMERICA IS TOO POWERFUL.
DANGER OF A CONTINENTAL COM
BINATIoN.

Admiral Canevnro, Italian, ana
Count GoluchOwslSi, Austro-Eiun-
garinn Foreign Minister, Quoted.
Our "WeaIth ana Energy Too
Great" we Are "Sndly In the
Way" in Asia and While We DO
Not Take south America Ourselves
We VIII Not Let Anybody Else
Take II.
London. April l9.-The Spectator to-mor-
row will discuss THE Continent and
America" taking as text a portion of
an interview with Admiral Count Cane
varo at Toulon, which the Spectator be-
lieves has not attracted the attention it
deserves.
Admiral Canevaro, in concluding his
utterances regarding the triple and dual
alliances having given Europe thirty
years of peace. said:
This fact would, perhaps. lead Euro
pean nations to consider the possibility
and necessity of uniting against America,
Africa and Asia, as the future of civiliza-
tion will require them to do So"
The Spectator does not consider this the
rash outburst of the man in the street"
for Admiral Canevaro has been Italian
minister of foreign affairs.
His utterance,' the Spectator will say,
Corresponds exactly with that OF Count
Goluchowski (Austro- Hungarian foreign
mlnister). and with all the recent trend
of affairs. The annoyance of the conti-
nenet with America. which is very deep,
is based upon three reasons. the first be-
Ing the dread or rather the conviction,
that competition with America is nearly
impossible, her wealth and energy being
too great. Both are employed the con-
tinent thinks, to monopolize trade and
so to control in the end all the wealth of
the world. an idea not without advocates
even among ourselves
The Spet ator mentions the giant trusts
and protection and refers to the Ameri-
cans as mot scrupHng to commence quick
and severe reprisal If European govern
ments fence them off with tariffs"
"The second reason" the article will
say, rs that America is sadly in the way
in Asia. The whole action of the Wash
ington government in the Chinese mud
die points to the conclusion that, although
the Americans took the Philippines, they
are not willing to see any but native
Powers in control of the richest countries
of Asia.
The third reason is Americas attitude
| In South America. She Will neither take
it net let anybody else. The total result
is bitter dislike of America. mixed with
| dread. Our object is only to awaken the
Americans from an illusion, to induce
them to increase their fleet and to per-
suade them to think steadily out what
they are doing. They may rely upon 1t
that the continent will lose nothing by
want of planning and that, when the al
lance against America of which Admiral
Canevaro talks is transmitted into facts.
it will be full grown and full armed.

RlPlEY'S CASE WITH JURY.
Talked Too Much and Tried to Make
Himself Important

Frankfort, KY, April 19.-The case of
Capt Garnett D. Ripley. the former mil
itary officer, charged with being an ac-
cessory before the fact in the Goebel as
sassination, is now in the hands of the
jury. j. T, O'Neall made the closing ar
gument for the defense to-day and was
followed by Prosecuting Attorney Frank
lin The crowd in attendance during the
closing arguments, taxed the capacity of
the large court room to its full limit.
Mr.. O'Neall, for the defense, argued that
Ripley's greatest crime was talking too
much and that by trying to make himself
over important, he had put himself under
suspicion; but that when the evidence
was sifted there was nothing connecting
him with the conspiracy.
Mr.. Franklin for the prosecution dwelt
on the fact that the defendant arrived
here Jan. 16, the date on which the as
sassination, he said, was decreed, and
that he was not here Jan. %. at the time

DEBENTURE COMPANY FAILS.
Continental Security of Birming-
ham Goes in Receivers Hands.

NONS AAh AACSCAkCEB
Birmingham Ala, April 19-The Conti-
mental Security Redemption Company, of
which George Nv. Morgan is president,
and whose principal office is in Birming-
ham, was to-day placed in the hands of
a receiver by Judge John Bruce of the
United States Court on the application
of officers of the company. j. b. Cobbs
of the Alabama National Bank was ap-
pointed receiver and gave a $4,000 bond.
The Continental Security Redepmtion
Company some time ago absorbed the
StEtthern Debenture Redemption Com
pany of Delaware, the National Deben
ture Loan Company of Georgia, the Blr-
mingham Debenture Redemption Com
pany, and the Columbia Investment Com
pany, both of Alabama. Its assets are
stated in the bill to be s12s, ,923 It's la
billties are not stated, but it is known to
have outstanding many thousands of
debenture bonds.
A recent ruling of the postoffice de-
partment, holding that certain classes of
debenture bonds could not be allowed
the use of the malls, as they violated the
lottery fraud act" and a recent decision
made by the Supreme Court of Ohio, ho.d-
ing that certain features of debenture
bonds were against public policy and
therefore unlawful, are given as the rea-
son for asking for a receiver.

WALTH0UR WAS DEFEATED.
StinsOn of Cambridge Runs Away
From the Georgia Boy at Boston.

From the Georgia BOY at Boston.
Boston, April 19.-In the opening bicy-
Gle races of the season at Charles River
Park, William Stinson of Cambridge de-
feated Johnnie Nelson by a trife over
one lap, and Bobby Walthour, the South
erner, by one and third mics, his time
for the twenty-five miles being 40:34 rs.
There were present over 1000 people, and
one of the finest exhibitions of pluck was
exhibited when Stinson, after having lost
three-f fourths of a lap in the fourth mile
because of an accident TO his motor pace,
continued gamely, and shortly after he
regained his pace, made up the distance
he had lost.
Nelson had taken the lead over Wal
thour and after the latter, Stinson went,
closing the gap between them, inch by
inch, until he had passed him. 1t was
not until the seventeenth mile that Stin-
son passed Nelson, although he did not
succeed in getting far enough ahead Of
the Swede to lap him until the twenty
fourth mile Stinson for the first time
defeated Nelson in a race. Walthour was
the favorite. but the cold weather appar-
entity had an i'll effect on him after his
stay in a warmer climate.

THE SHAMROCK II
THE CUP CHALLENGER TO BE
LAUNCHED TODAY.
A HANDSOME PIECE OF WORK.
NOTHING PHENOMENAL ABOUT THE
NEW RACER, HOWEVER.

Shamrock III Somewhat OverIm-
proved, Perhaps, But the New
Challenger Is Certainly n Finished
Product of the Yacht Builders
Art-The Mast Stepped Further
Forward and the FreebOard Cut
Down-The Length 1873 Feet and
the Water Line Nearly 90 Feet.
Her Sail Area Exceeds the Column
bias by eco Feet.
Glasgow, April 19.-All is now ready for
the launching of the Shamrock II. al
though this evening men were working
at the yards of the Dennys under Mr.
Watson's vigorous eye, giving the final
touches TO the craft.
IL is ascertained by a representative of
the Associated Press that Shamrock
has been improved to a greater extent
than Mr.. Watson might have wished. So
much mystery has been made of the
building of the new cup challenger that
there is an expectation of something phe-
nomenaI and absolutely unique in the way
of yachting architecture to be disclosed
when she is knocked away tomorrow.
This expectat tion is doomed to disappoint-
ment.
The bulk of Shamrock II has been car
ried well forward with full lines under
water and full deck lines in the forward
overhang.
The bow, instead of being f1attened on
the side, is carried round in perfect
spoon. The mast is stepped forward of
the usual place, and the beam is carried
well into the overhang. The free-board
is cut down to about two-thirds of the
side of the Shamrock 1 showed above the
water.
These are the most striking characteris-
tics. The under water body is simply an
adapta ton of the same ideas to suit the
different conditions. The turn of the bilge
favors the Columbia rather than the
Shamrock 1, and the fin is shorter and
shallower than that of the last challenger.
Over all the new boat is longer than both
the challenger and defender of 1899,
being 1873 feet. Her water line length is
right up to within a few inches of the
allowable limit of ninety feet In beam
she is practically the same as the last
cup racers; but her draught has been cut
down with free hand and is something
less than nineteen feet.
Her sail area is more by 200 square feet
than the Columbia's and close up TO the
amount of cloth shown on the first Sham
rock. The stepping forward of the mast
has avoided the chief fault found with
the last challenger, the immense size of
the fore triangle. In this measurement
the new challenger comes out less than
either of the new boats, her exact meas
urement being II feet from mast to bow
spirit end.
Generally the yacht is fairly lined and
sweetly turned and looks quite fiji to
sail for cup honors.
