although with small attendance, the
American Medical association this af-
ternoon adopted report endorsing the
movement for the establishment of
the army post canteen. The committee
on legislation, presenting the report,
said:
I'VE have carefully considered the

medical department of the United
States army, is concurred in by the
commanding officers at the several
posts and is intended to correct serious
abuses under the present law which re-
suit in drunkenness, desertion, insubor-
dination, dishonorable discharge, crime,
poverty, appalling increase in disease
and invalidism among the soldiers of
the United States army.
1--WE recommend that the American
Medical association petition the con-
gress of the United States to repeal, at
the earliest moment, the Objectionable
law which prohibits the army post eX-

Druggist Awarded Nearly $4,000 for
Preserving the Leg ofa Man.

Concord, N. H., June IA novel law
suit was heard In the superior court
this afternoon, wherein a jury gave a
verdict of $1,979.16 to a Druggist for
preserving in alcohol the amputated
limb of a once prominent man.
In 1887 John III. Pearson, a million
aire railroad manager, resident Of this
city, lost a leg by amputation. This
member he preserved in alcohol and
stored in a. safe place in a local drug
store. When Mr.. Pearson died in 1899
the leg was, by his direction, taken
from its jar and inferred with the rest
of his body. Shortly after A. Ferley
Fitch, the druggist who had cared for
the leg, sent to the trustees of the es-
tate a bill for $3,450 for services render
ed. This bill the trustees refused to
pay and Mr.. Fitch brought suit, which
was heard to-day. THE plaintiff called
ten witnesses, including the widow of
Mr.. Pearson On the other side the
only witness was Professor Whitney,
curator of the Harvard Medical school,
The jury found for the plaintiff.

NOT SO MUCH or A CAPTURE.
Gen. r. ID. Grants Opinion of the
Taking of Agutnaldp.

New York, June 7.--General Freder-
ick Dent Grant was given a reception
tonight by the U. S. Grant post, G. A.
r. In brief address General Grant
said
"Aguinaldo was not so much of a
capture in the Philippines as he seems
to have been here To tell the truth he
had lost about all his influence. We do
not treat him as if we considered him
of much Importance. We cannot kill
him, of course, but we want to make
him feel that he stands on the same
footing with another Filipino. If we
should fine him $40 and send him to Jail
for thirty days and set him to break
ing rock it would be better for him
and for ourselves. If, when he comes
over here we treat him with contempt
he will be treated with contempt by
the natives when he goes home. But if
over there they get the idea that we
have a high ideal in Aguinaldo then he
may get following tat would make us
much trouble"

PLATT ON HIS AMENDMENT
HIS LETTER TO SECRETARY ROOT
MADE PUBLIC.
The Independence or Sovereignty of
Cuba Not Mennced-Care Taken to
Avoid Any Such Thing I'm the Prepa-
ration of the Amend m ment-Washing-
ton Still Hopeful of n Settlement.

! washington, June 7.--During the
conference between Secretary Root and
the Cuban commission the secretary
wrote a letter to Senator Platt of Con-
necticut, who introduced the Platt
amendment, asking for his views rela-
tive to intervention as mentioned In
Senator Platt replied and his letter
was furnished the commission confiden-
| incorporated into and made a part Of
the acceptance of the Platt amendment
| by the constitutional convention The
letter however, appeared in a Havana
paper and caused considerable discus
sion there, it being claimed that the
claims Of the United States and the
promises in the letter were quite incon-
sistent To-day the letter was made
public by the war department The
following is the text of Senator Platts
letter to the secretary of war:
II am in receipt of your letter of this
date, in which you say that the MEM
bers of the commission of the Cuban
constitutional convention fear that the
provisions relative to Intervention
made in the third clause of the amend
ment which has come to bear my name,
may have the effect of preventing the
independence of Cuba and in reality es-
tablish a protactorate or suzerainty by
the United States, and you request
that / express my views of the question
raised.
In reply I beg to state that the
amendment was carefully prepared
with the object of avoiding any possi-
BILE idea that, by the acceptance there
of, the constitutional convention would
thereby establish a protectorate or su-
zerainty or in any manner whatsoever
compromise the independence or sover-
eighty Of Cuba; and speaking for my
self, 1t seems impossible that such an
Interpretation can be given to the
clause I believe that the amendment
should be considered as a whole and it
ought TO be clear on reading it that
its well defined purpose is to secure and
safeguard Cuban Independence and set
forth at once a clear idea of the friend
ly disposition of the United States to-
ward the Cuban people, and the ex-
press intention on their part to aid
them. if necessary, in the maintenance
of said independence. These are my
ideas, and, although, as you say, I can
not speak for the entire congress, my
belief is that such purpose was we'll
understood by that body.
VERY respectfully yours.

Washington, June THE cabinet

discussing the Cuban and Philippine
situations. A communication has been
received from Governor-G General Wood
regarding the prospect for the uncon-
ditional acceptance of the Platt amend

public 1t can be stated, however, that
there is hopeful feeling in adminis-
tration circles that after the first sore
ness wears off the convention will see
the wisdom of adopting the terms of
the amendment. The answer to Gener-
al Wood is to be sent and the language
Of that communication was under dis
cussion to- day Meantime the existing
status in Cuba is to be maintained No
action looking to the calling of another
convention is in contemplation if the

READY no TREAT WITH BOERS.
British Government, However, VIII
Not Discuss Independence.


London, June 7-Replying to ques-
tion by Mr. Labouchere in the House
of Commons to-day, Mr.. Brodrick,
secretary for war, said that no instruc-
tions had been given that would pre-
vent Lord Kitchener from receiving
proposals for surrender from any Boer
commanders. He added, however, that
neither he nor the government had in
any case consented to discuss the ques-
tion of the independence of the South
African republics.
Mr.. Chamberlain, colonial secretary,
said in reference to the meeting be-
tween General Botha, the Boer COM
mander- in chief, and Lord Kitchener,
on February %, that Mrs. Botha, the
wife Of the Boer general, had carried a
message to her husband from Lord
Kitchener that if he desired to discuss
terms Of peace with the latter he could
do so. Lord Kitchener explained, how
ever, that the negotiations must be
carried on under the express under
standing that the question of independ-
ence would not in any case be consid-

PRESIDENT AND SENATOR'S.
Opinions of 1,lOO Prominent Men ON
Second Term and Election by People.

Chicago, June 7.-Replies of approx
imately 1,100 prominent men to the
questions of electing United States
senators by direct vote and making a
president ineligible for a second term
have been put in form by an expert.
While great secrecy is being OBJ
served it is believed the 100 answers
are about evenly divided and that the
subcommittee will turn the replies
over to the advisory committee without
recommendations as to a report.
IN connection with the question OF
making the president ineligible for a
second term opinions of the length of
a single term were requested 1t is be-
lieved a term of six or eight years is
favored. Secretary r. M. Easley of
the Civic Federation left to-day for

THOUGHT 70 BE CAPT. BICKFORD.
Body ofa Man Washed Ashore at Morris
Cove Yesterday Afternoon.

The body of a man supposed to have
been Captain Alexander Bickford, Of
the schooner Wideawake, who has
been missing for about a week, was
washed upon the beach at Morris Cove
yesterday afternoon. 1t was said at
Gilern & Quinn's hotel at Morris Cove
last night that the body came in with
the tide about 2:30 vest erday afternoon

titled as that Of Captain Bickford by
Everett Wright, man employed on an
oyster steamer who assisted in loading
the Wideawake with oysters just be-
fore Captain Bickford disappeared.

miliar with Captain Bickford's appear
ance and said yesterday afternoon that

ford disappeared that lie had on his
person several hundred dollars in cash.
