LORD SALISBURY ILL
OFFICIAL BULLETIN SAYS HE HAS
AN ATTACK OF INFLUENZA.
Two Newspapers Report, However,
ney Affection, and May Resign.

LONDON March so.-The Daily Express
a kidney complaint which will incapacitate
him from duty for long period is en-
phaticaly denied as utterly groundless He
had planned a trip to the Riviera previous
to his present slight illness. He expects
to resume his duties shortly. and announces
his intention to return from the Riviera in
time to attend public dinner May 13
An official bulletin issued to-day said:
1.-The attack of influenza is following it's
usual course. He is sat- present suffering
from weakness In consequence of the lis
ease, but hopes to be ready to start fer
the Riviera in a few days
The Weekly Dispatch repeats the story
published in the Daily Express. that Lord
Salisbury is suffering from kidney affec-
tion which is likely to incapacitate him for
some time, and says IL learns that the
premier's illness has taken so unfavorable
turn that his proposed visit to the
Riviera has become almost hopeless and
that the announcement of his resignation
of the premiership and his retirement
from political life may be anticipated be-
fore the end of April. The Dispatch adds:
''The doctors have pronounced Lord Sails
bury TO be suffering from Bright's disease
in so aggravated a form that a grave view
is being taken of the disease. Lord Sails
bury is so anxious to prevent the nature of
his illness from being made public that
none of the eminent specialists called in
are allowed TO sign bulletin. No bulletin
sanctioned by the doctors has been issued.
The premier's condition suddenly became
so grave a week ago that Sir Richard
Douglass Powell, DR.. Walker and other
physicians were hastily summoned. In or
der TO avert a crisis a special prescription
was made up, the application of which
checked the approaching complications.
but the premier's condition for that last day
or two has disappointed all the medical
men. One of the earliest callers Satur-
day was a special messenger from the
King The family last evening expressed a
hope that Lord Salisbury might make the
Journey to the Riviera, but the physicians
are loath to express any opinion except in
so far as forbidding any definite arrange
ments to be made for the present"

KEYNOTE FOR LIBERALS
HERBERT GLADSTONE SEEMINGLY A
"CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK
Letter to His Constituents I'm which
"Grand-OId-Man- Fashion.

LONDON, March SO.-Herbert Gladstone
issued a letter to his constituents contain
ing a striking indictment of the govern
ment, which, the Daily News declares
will be welcomed by all Liberals as a
bugle call to action and as worthy of his
fathers sons. He appears to have struck a
note on which a majority of the Liberals
can unite against what even the Conserva-
tive organs admit TO be the weak manage
ment of the party in power" The letter is
short. It's quality can be judged from the
following excerpt:
1.-The war in South Africa will cost not
far short of 920OO00.O00 and the settlement
seems as far off as ever. There are prob
lens to be solved i'm the far East of the first
magnitude, and the government appears
destitute of clear, settled policy. Already
the huge expenditure for the army and
navy is going up by leaps and bounds, and
will force Europe to add to its ruinously
large armaments. Where is IL to end? The
Irish question is more to the front than
ever and the government seems to view it
with apathetic impotence. The advocates
of the Liberals are not endeavoring to take
up Ine government , DuIutu uHlll llitg HdNc
exacted conditions that their policy will not
again be stutified by the rejection Of their
measures by the House of Lords"
Whether the conditions should be exacted
from the King or whether the Liberals
must frankly appeal to the country for the
practical abolition of the House of Lords is
not quite clear 'But anyway" as the
Daily News says, 'it is a bold and some
what startling suggestion. in which Mr..
Gladstone seems to have put his fingers on
the weak spot of modern liberalism"

THANKS FROM THE PRESIDENT.
eabieEram Sent to General MacAr-
thur-AguinaIdo's Case

WASHINGTON. March 80 - The War
department to-day made public a por-
uon or the cablegram sent yesterday
Aguinaldo- 1t is as follows:
The President directs me IT, express his
nlgn appreciation of the gallant conduct
OF General Funston and of the officers and
men or the army and navy engaged with
hlm In the Palanan expedition. The secre-
lary OF war personally joins in this ex-
preston"
The cablegram also contained instruc-
tions to General Macarthur The nature of
these instructions are not made public but
IL Is known that they related to Aguinaldo.
The position of the government regarding
the insurgent prisoner is at present the
same as toward other Filipino prisoners.
whether they have voluntarily surrendered
TO the American troops or been captured in
battle. The proclamatio of General Mac
Arthur, the instructions of the President
TO the Taft commission and the addresses
OF that commission to the people of the
Philippines cover the case of Aguinaldo
Under these various communications the
people of the Philippines, who have been
In arms against the United States govern
ment have been offered amnesty If they
lay down their arms and accept the SOW
ereignty of the United States Those who
do so before the first of May of the present
year are not debarred from holding office
or OF all other rights under the United
States government in the Philippines This
amnesty does not apply to those who have
violated the rules of war and subjected
themselves to trial on criminal charges for
acts which are outside Of the conduct of
war.
Aguinaldo has not placed himself in
United States under any OF the proclama-
tions or instructions governing the. Philip
pines. No attempt will be made to bar
gain with him and he will first have to ac-
cept the sovereignty of the United States
and also show that he comes within the
terms Of the amnesty offered before he
could even be offered a position under the
government, If it seemed desirable to use
him in a governmental capacity in the fu-
ture. AT present Aguinaldo will be con-
sidered on the same footing with other
prisoners. His future disposition cannot
be determined at present. Save for his
capture he stands In the same attitude to-
ward the United States that he has stood
from the beginning of the insurrection.
The position OF the United States in ref
erence TO the prisoner seems to have been
misunderstood in some quarters and there
was an impression, possibly gained from
the dispatches from Manila, that our Of
ficers were ready to make terms with
Aguinaldo in order TO secure his services
for the pacification of the islands. 1t is
evident that any overtures to bring about
this result will have to come from Aguinal-
do. No doubt he will be given an oppor-
tunity to make proposition of that kind.

SUMMONED TO RETURN
MINISTER LOOMS RECALLED FROM
THE VENEZUELAN CAPITAL.
Conditions Have Become Annoying
and the State Department Wants
to Learn the Truth.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The State De-
partment has recalled Minister Frank
Loomis from Caracas to Washington for
purposes of consultation. The issues be-
tween the government of the United States
and the government Of Venezuela have be-
come more acute lately. and it is desired
that the department may be able to ac-
quaint itself thoroughly with the situation
in Venezuela through more direct means
than the scanty cable communications that
are being exchanged. So far as can be
learned the last protest of government
TO the Venezuelan government respecting
the treatment of Consul Baiz has not met
with a satisfactory response and the
asphalt controversy is still open. 1t Is not
believed that formal official complaint has
been lodged against Mr.. Loomis save in the
case of the brief of one of the attorneys in
the asphalt controversy, but, however that
may be. the minister has the full approval
of the government for everything he has
done. according to the present information,
and there is no reason that he will not re-
turn to Venezuela from his conference with
the secretary of state.
Private advices which have reached
Washington from time TO time indicate
that Minister Loomis's health has not been
robust since he returned TO Venezuela from
the United States last year. The intimation
conveyed was that change OF climate
might benefit him. In view OF the exist
ing political conditions in Venezuela his
wishes and inclinations will be served,
without question. by transfer to some
other post. If that transfer is arranged, it
is said. at the department that Mr..
Looms will lose nothing in dignity, for he
has the hearty support OF the State De-
rartment and the only difficulty he is like
lv 10 experience is in finding some other
United States minister of competence Will
ing to trade posts with him.
Senor Pulido, the Venezuelan charge
d'affaires, to-day received cablegram
from his government stating that the

long ago Castro proclaimed himself Presi-
dent and this action of the Constituyente

aartial ruler to the limit of its authority.
IT,, to this time. while being generally rec
os,;zed as President OF Venezuela. he has.
IN reality, been simply dictator of the re-
public.
A groundless report was circulated dur
ing the day that the Venezuelan charge
dafraires in Washington, Senor Pulido. had
becn recalled and was about to leave
xvashington. Senior Pulido dismissed the re-
MORT as pure invention, as he has not been
recalled and there Is no intention Of such
