TROUBLE OVER THE FRIARS
THREE FILIPINO LEADERS QUIT
CATHOLIC CHURCH.

MANILA, January 3O.-All the Filipino
leaders of the federal party assert their
continued fealty to the Catholic Church,
excepting Buencamino, Rosario and Ner.
The church authorities, while intimating
unofficially that there Is no intention of
returning the friars to the localities where
the people object to them, have not as
sured the representatives Of the govern
ment to this effect. Both the legislative
and executive authorities are determined
to permit the utmost freedom of worship;
but Judge Taft, president of the United
States Philippine commission, said today
that 1t was an undetermined question
where the government ought to draw the
line in localities where the presence of the
friars may tend to cause unrest and dis
turbance The attempt of Buencamno
and his confreres about Tondo to organize
an evangelical church was precipitated by
arrests, made on the information of priests,
of certain alleged supporters of the insur-
rection. The question OF the release or
some of them is pending.
There is much speculation as to the
extent to which Buencamino will be able
to control religious sentiment in his ward.

American mounted infantry was an object
of scorn TO European military critics. New,
however the English had introduced 1t

Otis said: What can l say Of the navy?
Nothing but good. 1t has always worked
in harmony and concord with the army.
Each has always assisted the other"
When the naval history of nations was
written in the future, he believed that the
American navy would rank with any that
had preceded It for what it had done in

MABINI, THE INSURGENT,
Record of the Filipino Recently
Tr0nspOrted to Guam

AsSSO" oA tHc Fllp1nO Recently
Transported to Guam.
The War Department is collating data
In regard to the case of Mabini, the Fill
pino insurgent leader, in order to answer
the resolution adopted by the Senate at
the instance Of Senator Pettigrew, calling
for the facts in the case. 1t appears from
the official records that Mabini was captur-
ed by General Lawton in one Of his famous
raids in southern Luzon, and was sent to
Manila as a prisoner Of war. He was
granted parole and, 1t is said, violated his
oath by going back among his people and
melting them to sedition and rebellion
against the authority OF the United States
For this he was again placed in confine-
ment. To diminish his power for evil Gen.
eral Macarthur changed his place of con-
finement from Manila to the Island of
Guam, where he will be held as military
prisoner of war. Although a cripple and
in poor physical health, he Is undoubtedly
one Of the strongest and most formidable
opponents of American sovereignty in the
Philippines by reason Of his superior in
tellectual attainments. The report Of the
Secretary Of War on this case will be for
warded to the Senate in a few days.

VERDI LAID TO REST.
Simple Ceremonies at Funeral of the
Great Composer.

MILAN. January 30-The funeral Of
Verdi took place today. All the authorities
followed the bier. The ceremony was most
simple, but very impressive. owing to the
silent homage Of the populace, who were
present at the services in immense num-
bers.
The remains of Verdi were borne from
his residence and placed in a modest
funeral car which. followed by few in
innate friends. proceeded to the Church of
ST. Francis, the facade Of which bore the
inscriptions:
peace to the soul of Giuseppe Verdi
The religious ceremony lasted only five
minutes. Then procession was formed,
headed by priests, and with flremen march
ing beside the car, which was followed by
friends of tn deceased, the local author
tiles and leading citizens, bareheaded. A
vast concourse lined the route, and people
even climbed the trees to get glimpse Of
the cortege Several houses We're draped
with mourning
On the arrival of the body at the GEM
etery the crowd was so large that two
squadrons of carbineers were unable to
keep open a space around the graveside.
The remains of the composer were Inferred
without ceremony and there were no
speeches made.

now appears to be but little doubt that
Capt. V. E. McBee. former general super
intendent of the Seaboard Air Line rail-
way. will succeed Mr.. E. ST. John as vice
president and general manager Of the sys-
TEN.
Since Mr.. St. Johns retirement Capt Nc
Bee has been performing the duties OF the
position. Nothing definite can be learned
at the general Office here and Capt. McBee
is himself in Washington The impression
which prevails that it has already been de-
termined to place him permanently at the
head Of the operating department Of the
system Is well grounded.
The renewed talk Of Mr.. Cecil Gabbett as
Mr.. ST. Johns successor is not cyedited.
Announcement of the appointment Of Capt.
McBee as vice president and general man
ager of the Seaboard will be made in a
few days.
Already gossip Is rife as to the next gen.
eral superintendent. 1t Is intimated that
the position may be abolished or combined

No Official Action.

Neither the State Department nor the
German embassy has so far received any
communicate ton from the German govern
ment urging the enactment of the Spooner
Philippine resolution. indicated in the
latest Manila advices. But the government
here is fully acquainted with the earnest
desire of foreign capitalists, not only Ger
man, but British, to begin Immediately the
investment of large sums of money in the
exploitation of the Philippines as soon as
that can be safely done. The Philippine
cen mission, through Judge Taft, has re-
ported that it's ina bility to confer any sort

INSTRUCTIONS TO MINISTER coNGER.
DiscOuraRinE Outlook at Pekin for
Settlement of Dimculties.


Being obliged by the attitude Of the other
powers interested 10 continue at Pekin the
negotiations looking to settlement Of the
Chinese difficulties in spite Of a most dis
couraging outlook for a favorable conclu-
sion there. the Department of State has
now sent by cable to Mr.. Conger very pre-
else and detailed Instructions for his guild
ance in treating of the question OF indem-
n'ty. The ministers have finally reached
this important topic. which was one Of
two or three that the State Department
earnestly desired to have dealt with by
other agencies and at another capital than
Pekin. Hence 1t Is found necessary 10 fur
n:sh Mr.. Conger with such exact instruc-
tions as will prevent any possible misun-
derstanding as to the purposes Of the
United States government upon this sub
jecr Realizing that it Is easily possible to
destroy the Chinese government and bring
about the partition Of the empire, which ali
powers express themselves els desiroas Of
preventing, by an ill-judged effort to force
terms as to indemnity. the State Depart
ment has, 1t Is believed, adopted ieaiant
attitude and will lose no opportunity to in
nuence other powers accordingly.
