THE GILMAN MILLIONS.
Mrs. Hall Did Not Appear in Court
and the Basis of Her Claim StiII
N MVsfPry.

Bridgeport, Conn. March 1S.-After a
long hearing In the Probate Court, Judge
Nobbs tonight denied the application Of
Edward S. Percival and Edward l.. Nor
ton for appointment as administrators of
the estate of the late millionaire, George
= Gilman. The application was sup
ported by part of the heirs only, and a
further hearing on the question will be
held tomorrow
Mrs. Helen Hall made no appearance
today, either in person or by counsel,
and her alleged claims on the estate
formed no part of the proceedings.
With the non-appearance of Mrs. Helen
Hall in court the question was opened as
to what her claims. if any. on the estate
might be. Her failure to appear was con-
sidered as prima facie evidence that she
would take no part In the contest over the
administration of the estate and the con-
current opinion tonight is that her share
in the property of the millionaire tea
merchant must depend upon some deed
executed before his death. In this event
1t will not be until the actual admin ira
tion of the estate begins that the mystery
will be solved

Washington, March 1S.-The State De-
partment is giving renewed attention to
the settlement of the claims against the
government of Morocco. The claim Of
Marcus Ezagui. who was murdered at
Fec in June last, has been adjusted by
the payment of $1,000 But there are other
claims equally meritorious which have not
been satisfactorily adjusted. Recently
the State Department gave these consid-
GRAFTON, all efforts on the part of Mr.
Gummere, the consul general at Tangier,
to adjust them having proved ineffect-
i've.
Under these circumstances a special
mission, following in this respect the
practice of other governments seemed
necessary. Instructions TO this end to-
day were sent to Mr.. Gummere. as well
as a further instruction to demand an
apology for an apparent discourtesy on
the part of the grand vizer and the min
lister of foreign affairs, in attempting to
defeat the purpose of the State Depart

Marin duque to Have Government of
Its Own-PeOpIe Must Live in
the Towns.

Romblon Island, March 1S.-By Mail
from Martinique, March 16.-The question
of attaching this island of Martinique
to the province of Tayabas, discussed by
the American Philippines Commission
since their arrival here, has been decid-
ed in the negative. The sentiment of the
people was wholly in favor of forming a
separate province. A population Of $1,000
was represented during the discussions,
and the commission has met intelligent
delegations from all the towns on the ISL
and.
There are 800 insurgents still in the
mountains of Marinduque, but otherwi 'e
the inhabitants are anxious for the pacifi-
cation of the island, and to accept Amer
4can sovereignty.
Mai. Smith, commanding the American
garrisons on this tsaand, has issued an
order requiring all natives to live in the
five principal towns where American
troops are stationed. Those natives who
continue 40 live In the country will be
considered insurgents.
A few insurgents have recently been
killed or wounded near these towns and
their supplies have been destroyed.
The inhabitants of this island favor a
drastic policy towards insurgents.
The American Philippines commission
will soon prepare a recommendation to
President Mckinley on the character and
form of the general civil government to
be established in the archipelago. The
matter has as yet received but informal
consideration.
