He sNUBsED WANAMAKER.
His Protest A Against Giving Away Rail-
way Franchises Is Ignored by the
Mayor of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, June 1.-THE latest
move in the matter Of the granting
of street railway franchises by city
councils was made Thursday when
eX-Postmas General john Wanna
maker sent a letter to Mayor Ash
bridge Offering to pay to the city ST.
SOC. 600 for the rights and franchises
granted and intended to be granted
bv Il ordinances of council awaiting
the mayors approval. These ordi-
nances give to number of capital
lists who are friendly to the dominant
faction in the republican party of
this state the right TO construct un-
derground and elevated railways on
streets now occupied by surface rail
way companies, and to build surface
roads on those streets not occupied
bv other companies. The speed with
which the enabling acts We're passed
bv the legislature and the passage
nv city councils in three days OF the
ii city ordinances aroused opposition.
Mr.. Wanamaker. in his letter says
he believes the franchises granted by
these ordinances are OF enormous
money value; that the people Will get
nothing for the franchises; passen-
gers wIh have no cheaper transporta-
ton. and that the only gamers viii
be those financially interested in the
projects. He urged the mayor to
veto the ordinances in order that new
ordinances may be drafted comforting
the franchises in question only upon
the pavment of a sum into the public
treasury commensurate to the value
of the grant.
Mayor Ashbridge last night signed
the ordinances granting franchises.
He refused to talk about Mr.. Wanna
makers protest.

A TEN PER CENT TAX.

London, June 14.-Sir David Bar
bour, whom the chancellor of the ex-
chequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach,
sent to South Africa to investigate
the sources of revenue of the Trans
vaal and Orange River Colony, with
the view of estimating how much
they should contribute towards the
cost of the war, reports in favor of a
10 per cent. tax on the profits of the
mines, yielding, on the basis of the
profits of 1898. e450.000 yearly. After
paying this, Sir David Barbour con-
siders the mines will be better off
than before, as they will save e600,-
600 per year on dynamite, owing to
the abolition of the monopoly in that
commodity.
The Orange River Colony will be
unable for some years to meet the
ordinary cost of administration and
pay its share of the cost of the con-
stabulary. at cannot, therefore, >
says Sir David Barbour, $50 far as
can be foreseen at present, pay any
thing toward the cost of the war"

THE SITUATION IN CUBA.
Compliance with the PIntt Amend
m. at Must lie the Out
come.

The new hitch in the Cuban case is
to be regretted, but it has been
brought about by the Cubans them
selves, and doubtless will soon be re-
moved by them. In the acceptance of
the Platt amendment by the Havana
constitutional convention there was
an addenda which gives different in
terpretation to one or two of the pro-
visions of the amendment than the
letter of that measure will permit.
The visiting delegation of Cubans mis-
understood Secretary Root in his eX-
planation of some of the provisions of
the Platt terms, and their notion got
into the proceedings of the convention
at the time the terms were accepted.
They evidently supposed that the pres
ident and the secretary of war intend
ed to remove some of the rigors of the
stipEations as set forth in the amend
ment, and they gave this idea to their
colleagues in the convention. In this
way the constitution trainers obtained
an erroneous view of the situation, and
this is reflected in their acceptance of
the terms.
What the Cubans have been told
now by Secretary Root is that the

TRAITOROUS AGUINALDO.
Secret Archives Captured I'm Luxon
Tell the story of His
Perfidy.

Murat Halstead has made an anal
ysis of the Filipino archives captured
when Aguinaldo and his cabinet fed
from Malolos in the spring of 1899.
The result of this study is a revela-
tion of Aguinaldo's character that
places him before the American pub
lie in an entirely new light. Among
the documents captured were many
of Aguinaldo's private papers and let
ters from the Spanish authorities in
Manila, written after Dewey's vic
tory and before the capture of the
city. There are the minutes of the
so-called Filipino republic, proclama-
tions, private instructions and Off
cial reports.
These various papers prove from
Filipino sources that Aguinaldo plot
ted treachery against the United
States and in favor of Spain before
the fall of Manila, that he was in
correspondence with the Spanish
Gen. Augustin. There are letters
proving that Aguinaldo wrote after
the battle of Manila and before the
capture of the city that he had the
hope of preserving from the ship
wreck the sovereignty of Spain in

San Francisco, June 14.-Capt. A.

statement yesterday in regard to the
alleged frauds in the sale of quarter
masters supplies belonging to the
government:

has been anything irregular ! would

in my power in the search for the
guilty men, if there are any.
"All the government things sold in
the pawnshops are sold by discharged
soldiers from the returning volunteer
regiments"
Col. j. b. Rawles, post commander,
said: ".tll this talk of fraud is per-
feet rot. People have been nagging
for year on the same subject. |

A warrant has been issued for the
arrest of Abe Abrams, son of Louis
Abrams. the second hand dealer, who,
with another son is in custody, De-
tective Reynolds reported to the fed
eral authorities yesterday that he
found 20 pairs of government shoes in
a Sacramento street store Wednesday
night.
Capt. Seymour, of the local detec-
tive force, said: "No one can say,
in view of all that has transpired
within the past two days, that frauds
have not been going on. Detective
Reynolds reports to me that the in
vestigation has made stir among
the second hand stores and those
who deal in the class of goods stolen
from the army, and that those who
have not yet been visited by Col.
Maus are hurrying to cover what gov
ernment goods they have. The guam
titles which the Abrams family were
able to supply their customers makes
it seem conclusive 10 my mind that
there is some one having access to
the quartermaster's department in
collusion with them. They will have
a hard time explaining away the evil
dence against them

Platt amendment will have to be &C.
cepted as it stands. Neither the presi-
dent nor the secretary of war has any
authority to alter it in the slightest
degree. Their relation to it is to en-
force it according to its obvious letter.
The function Of interpreting the
amendment if there be any doubt as
to its exact meaning rests with the
courts. Congress has the authority
of making the terms and has the pow
er to change them in either direction
if it chooses. Congress is the only
power which can do this. The func-
tion of the executive is to execute the
laws according to their letter, or APP
parent letter, and if there be any need
for an Interpretation of them so as to
clear up any doubt as TO their exact
meaning that work will have to be
done by the judicial branch of the gov
ernment.
The course for the Cuhans is clear.
They must agree 10 the Platt statute
in its strict terms. There can be no
mental reservations or equivocations
on this point. Their official accept
ance must be so plain and so explicit
that there can be no possibility of
any hedging by them hereafter. That
they will meet the new situation in
the proper spirit is probable. The
necessities of the case have been
pointed out to them by the author
tiles at Washington in a friendly way,
and they have been told that the
terms must be agreed to as they are
laid down in the statute. The con-
sequences of their rejection, or of a
delay in their acceptance, can readily
be pointed out to the Cuhans. The
American troops will remain in the
island until a government which will
meet American ideas is established,
and this cannot be done until the re-
lations between Cuba and the United
States are agreed to by the Cubans
on the exact lines laid down in the
Platt proviso. 1t was the expecta-
tion that Cuban republic would be
in operation by the end OF 1901 at the
structiveness ON CubE's part this out
come will be delayed. Probably an
amicable agreement will be reached
soon. At least this is the hope of all
Americans. Until this is effected,
however, the United States soldiers
will remain in Cuba and the United
States flag will fly over Cuba's prin-
cipal cities and its fortificationg.-

There are letters showing that
while the American troops and Fill
ipino forces wer laying siege to Ma
Mia, the Spanish army inside the
city was supplied with fresh meat
through the Filipino lines on passes
signed by Aguinaldo.
There is a letter from Aguinaldo to
the Spanish governor general ex-
pressing a wish to enter into a CON
tract for mutual advantages, and the
letter was written on the day that
Admiral Dewey supplied Aguinaldo
with 1000 guns to be used against the
Spaniards.
Documents signed by Aguinaldo
weeks before the insurrection broke
out on Febrauary 3, 1899, gave mi
mute directions for the assassina ton
of American sentries while profess
ing to be on friendly terms.
The captured archives also furnish
the details of the agreement under
which Aguinaldo for a cash payment
of 100000 pesos agreed to- drop the
rebellion against Spanish authority
il. 1897. The money was paid to
hguinaldo, and with cabinet officers
he proceeded to Lngayan, where the
entire party boarded Spanish mer-
chant steamer and were taken to
/ ong-Kong.
More than this, the programme was
SO arranged that it was not until
Aguinaldo was ready to sail that he
telegraphed orders to his generals to
lay down their arms and surrender
their forces.-Chicago Tribune.
