AN AGENT OF INSURGENTS
Knud EngelSkjon in Pay of
 the Rebels.
G. E. St. Clair, an American, Was with the Norwegian When He
 Visited the Natives in.  Mindanao.

Manila. May 23.-At Bilibid prison, Manila, three former United States off, ficers tonight began to serve sentences in expiation of crimes in connection with the commissary scandals. Cap- tain Frederick J. Barrows, late depot quartermaster of the department of Southern Luzon, is sentenced to five years imprisonment: Captain James c. Reed, late depot commissary at Ma nila. to three years imprisonment. and Lieutenant Frederick Boyer, late depot |commissary at Calamba, to one years imprisonment.
 By order of the provost marshal, General George W. Davis a represen- tative of the Associated Press was &C., corded an interview with the prisoners. Captain Reed and Captain Barrows seemed comparatively unmoved by their situation. Lieutenant Boyer pro- tested his innocence and seemed vim dictive toward Captain Barrows. who, he alleged, was alone guilty of misap- propriation of bacon.
 Major Hale, commandant of the pris- on. cleared store room to be occu- pied by the trio apart from the Fili- pino prisoners, but as Lieutenant Boyer avoids speaking to Captain Barrows. other arrangements are probable.
 An examination of the effects ot Knud Engelskjon, the Norwegian. through whom the Mohammedan chiefs of Mindanao made oveftures of peace to General Otis, and who was recently arrested for embezzlement, discloses the fact that he had been acting as an agent of the insurgents since 1898.
 Visited the Insurgents.
 He carried as his credentials letter from the Filipino Junta In Hong Kong to Aguinaldo and on a pretense of ex- amining nining property In hfindanao he visited the insursefts.H Accom- panying him was q. E. St. Clair an American. The latter pretended to be an Englishman, but today he acknoSvl- edged that he was acting as the agent of Colonel Colton. assistant collector of customs in Manila and s. H. Steel, a Manila lawyer, in an endeavor to secure possession of mining property in Mindanao before the American treeps arrived. -
 The insurgents suspected St. Clair's nationality and twice sentenced bim to be shot. but he managed to escape. St. Clair was taken into custody to- day and paroled pending the investi- gation.t
 The question of the transportation of the 800 American teachers engaged to come to Manila is so serious that Judge Taft has requested that transports be furnished or that other special arrange ments be made, as. owing to the move- ment of troops. there are no accom- modations on the steamers. Only two arrived by the last two transports.
 The commission is solving the prob lem of procuring accommodations for American teachers in Manila within their incomes by authorizing the fitting up of the government building for lodging purposes. Rooms will be rent ed there at a nominal cost.

The Afteronon Session.

At the afternon session Rev. George D. Baker opposed revision. An ex- planatory statement" said pr. Baker. "is an interpretation of the confession of faith by the majority. It must be subscribed to by ministers making their ordination vows and they will thus be deprived of their religious liberty. Is our church losing its hold on the world? Is it a weakling church? Is 1t not rather stronger than ever before? Let us beware how we sell our birthright for mess of pottage."
 Dr. Herrick Johnson of Chicago. said no one would deny that the confession of faith was a human document and therefore subject to error. He added:
 Tho authors of the creed are not infallible. They wrote some things in 1t which we do not believe to be true and failed to write some things which we hold to be true. They wrote of the Pope: That anti-Christ man of sin and son of perdition.' We repudiate that. Why should it be allowed to re- main? We have had the creed 250 years and will be following the foot steps of the Westminster divnes if we make a rev one. The way Is open to us to do as our Westminster fathers did. What liberty had they that we do not possess?
 Then pr. Johnson quoted a number of revisions which the creed has un- dergone since it's adoption. The clause referring to the refusal to take an oath, Dr. Johnson also thought should be stricken out. Regarding pre-des- tination. Dr. Johnson said: As to Pre-destination.
 q do not arraign the doctrine of alnpfinn hut fn ghnt to the elect is to take away its glory. We want nothing but fidelity to the truth"
 Rev. Dr. George T. Purves of New York opposed the resolutions.
 Rev. Dr. Samuel J. Niccolls of St. Louis declared that the creed is the representative of ScripturaI knowledge up to date. Continuing, he said:'
 Throughout our church, there has been an expression of dissatisfaction with our written confession. and this dissatisfaction. is growing. How easy it is to raise the cry that the faith is assailed. do not believe in beating ecclesiastical drums. It is my opinion that when a docume mt does not express our convictions, the easiest way IS to change it.
 "One- third of the human race die in infancy. and the sorrowing mother comes to the church. Has the church as the representative of the gentle Je- sus. nothing to say to that sorrowing mother? That is what we ask in this connection"
 Speaking of the clause referring to the Pope, Dr. Nicolls said there were many examples in the Roman Church which might well be emulated. In that church are men of the highest in tellectual attainments; self-sacrif1cing and holy women who have nursed our wounded on the battlefield; missiona- ries who have given their lives for their faith.
 Shall not we, then" asked Dr. Nic- coils. exercise that charity which we ask when we are misunderstood?

 The Convention met at Il o'clock a. m., was called to order by the Presi- aeat and the proceedings were opened with prayer by the Rev. MT. Andrews as follows:

We thank Thee for the health and strength and vigor of mind and body which characterizes all of Thy servants who this morning have met to carry out the mandates of their con- stituencies and to act for their good and for their future welfare.

UPTON PHILOSOPHICAL.
He Still Thinks the Cup Challenger
 Is a Fine Boat.

Southampton, May 23.-So far as can be ascertained the hull of the American cup challenger is not injured. but she will be docked for a thorough examination. Sir Thomas Lipton, George Watson and w. G. Jameson visited the boat today and decided that six weeks would be suffi- cient to put the crippled yacht again in racing trim. and that It probably will be necessary to ask for a delay in the date of the cup race for this length of time.
 In their opinion most of the other spars were quite heavy enough and the trouble arose from the breaking of shroud and the bobstay fasteninRs.
 Sir Thomas Lipton takes the accident philosophically, but the comments or the men say this continuation of the mis- fortune coming on top of the minor acci- dents which have happened at nearly every trial has quite taken the heart out of the crew. , - at the time of occurrence, are now mag nified and not one of the hands has good word to say for the boat. It is now admitted that all are now bitterly dlsap. pointed with her form as against that of the old boat and the Reenral opinon is eX- pressed that Sir Thomas Upton will de eide to build a new yacht before sailing off his challenge.
 advisers held this afternoon on board the Erin, Sir Thomas Lipton said he was de- terminued to go ahead with the Shamrock II and left IL 10 them tO OeClQe nDW LHlS hest could be done. It was agreed to cable the New York Yacht Club asking that the date of the contest be postponed until the first week in October in order to allow time for the necessary repairs. Speaking of the improvements in the Shamrock I. Sir Thomas said he had no doubt that this yacht had improved much since she sailed in American wa ters. but that he felt perfectly certain she was far from being as good a boat as the challenger. The latter. he said. had been improving daily and, although he now had only a bare hull without stick over her. he was satisfied that on her reappearance the challenger would justify his confidence in her.

The eel Is very unpopular with many
people: but. like many unpopular
things. he improves with acquaintance.
In form he Is long. slender and grace
full. In color dark green above and
yellowish white below. Many be-
lieve that there are two distinct varie-
ties. the salt and the fresh water eel.
but am inclined to think that. like
all other fishes. the eel partakes much
of the nature of his surroundings. A
long summer vacation In a pond or
brook renders him darker In color. and
daily feasting on landlocked dellcacies
renders him more corpulent.
Just so Goldfish take on the color of
their habitat, gray when on muddy
bottom. bright red when living among
kelps and gay colored marine plants.

William Waldorf Astor has just come
before the English public once more
with book, which he has published
through the Macmillans on the express
understanding that it be not produced
or even put on sale by the branch house
of the firm in the United States. The
English critics, however. are treating
him quite as cruelty as any of their
transatlantic confreres could have done.
for they are lavishing every kind Of
ridicule and amused contempt on "Pha-
raoh's Daughter and Other Stories"
They express their deep obligations to
Mr.. Astor for his Kindness in turning
both Exodus and Shakespeare into lit.

clare that che develops an unpleasant
conjecture as to the secret OF her life
with precisely the same amount Of del
icacy that we should expect from such
a man." Much fun. too, is made Of
Mr.. Astor's misuse of French in his
stories, which is asserted to demon
strate the advantage of knowledge OF
modern languages.
Perhaps this is the criticism that has
affected Mr. Astor most deeply, for he
regards himself as n brilliant French
scholar and a skilled dlplomatist, and
when he was envoy Of the United
States at Rome he devoted his leisure
hours to the production. not in English,

Actors Who SHUTTER.

1t would seem that the stage Is not
only the last profession that would be
chosen by person afflicted by stutter-
ing, but that a sufferer would never
dream Of selecting that profession.
Yet 1t is a fact that some well known
actors and singers labor under this dis
advantage.
The strangest thing about It Is that
the sad impeachment which Is so pain
fully evident in private life seems to
vanish entirely when they are on the
