Officials of the war department assert
their faith in General MacArthurs'
ability to induce Ag'dnaldo 70 issue the
required address. Aguinaldo has de,
manded certain conditions as prelim-
mary to this action and discussion has
occurred on the points which he has
named. Before the address is issued, It
is expected it will be cabled in full to
the secretary OF war for submission to
the president and will be amended by
the authorities here ii amendment is de-
sirable.
Under instructions, General MacAr-
thur is closely guarding AguinaIdo both
to prevent his escape and to prevent
any injury being done him by the
friends of the late Lieutenant General
Luna. Lieutenant Colonel Clarence Ed
wards who was the adjutant- general OF
General Lawton's column. said that
there seemed very little doubt that
Aguinaldo had given instructions for
the death OF Luna, who was killed In
Cabanatuan by one of Aguinaldo's body
guard who had been drawn up in honor
of the insurgent general, who, Colonel
Edwards said, was "the Lawton OF the
Filipino service" Agulnaldo had sent a
peace commission to treat with the
Americans but Luna arrested some OF
them and sent some Of his own COM

Edwards added, is believed to have Civ

AMERICAN PROPOSITION.

WASHINGTON. April 13.-The last
advlces TO the state department from
Mr. Rockhill state that the indemnities
claimed from China are beiisred to be
far n excess Of the amount of money
China can raise. The state department
believed the total should not he allowed
to exceed Sl5NOOO.OOO or s2OO,0O0.OOO.
This claim is considered reasonable
Russia's claim is fixed at s9O,G0O,0O0
and the German claim Is flexible. rang
ing between sSO.OOO.OOO and sSO.OOO.O 900.
The claim Of the United States is SZ5.-
100000. II the remaining powers are to
be allowed a prcportionate share II is
agreed that the total will be beyond
China's ability to pay, which has been
tentatively placed at Ss0O,OOO.OOO.
There is reason to believe that the
kernel OF the American proposition
touching the distribution Of indemnity
funds between the powers is found in
the suggestion that the allotment be
made upon the basis of the number Of
troops actually employed by each power
in the relief OF the legatiOners. By this
scheme forces brought into China since
the occupation of Pekin are disregard
ed as being entirely unnecessary to se-
cure any lawful and unanimously de-
sired end. on this basis Great Britain
would rank first, Japan second. the
United States third and so on.

COUNTY CLAIMS GRADE.
Legal Contest Over Right of Way Of
Oregon Short Line Extension.

SALT LAKE. April 13.-There is no
exciting news today from the end Of
the Oregon Short Line track. The con-
test for supremacy on the grade is still
being vigorously kept up by both sides.
A new and interesting phase of the
legal situation is that the Lincoln coun-
ty commissioners now assert right and
title to the grade, by virtue of tax
sale in 1894. at which time it is said
that all the interest, title and right of
the Oregon Short Line and Utah North
ern road, that originally built the grade.
was sold to the county for delinquent
taxes of 1898. The San Pedro, Los An
geles and Salt Lake Company. claims
to hold an option on this tax title.

Midsummer in New York.

The seasons run at their own gait in

its theatres close their doors, and it's
house fronts shutter and bar themselves,
movement and gaiety increase in the
ever-lively neighborhoods Of the poor.
