Nicely Case for $500.

WASHINGTON, May n.-An attempt to

letter signed John B. Dickinson, offering
him copies OF the correspondence. Judge

attorney general yesterday. The latter
called in Chief Wilkie and placed the mat
ter in his hands. An officer was sent to the
general delivery window of the local post
office, and when man presented himself
and asked for mail for John B. Dickinson

insuar division of the War Department.
Shortly afterward a conference between
the secretary of war, Solicitor General

Col. Edwards, chief of the Insular Bureau,
end Chief Wilkie was held, and it was dis
covered that the man representing himself
as John B. Dickinson was William Davis

year past. He formerly was private secre-
tary 10 eX-CongreSSnan Brumm, or Penn-

questions submitted by Mr.. Lindsay rela-
tive TO requisition testimony in the Neely
case. The opinion was prepared by an
assistant attorney familiar with the Nicely
case and was submitted TO Secretary

FILIPINO POLICE FORCE.
Its Condition and Number Report
ed to the War Department.

WASHINGTON, May u.-An extensive
resume of the organization and varying
condition of the Philippine native police
force is contained in a statement made
public to-day by the division of insular
affairs of the War Department The re-
port recites that because of the poverty
of the municipalities the Philippine COM
mission appropriated the sum of $4,000 to
provide increased pay for the body and
offered, through General Macarthur, fur
ther incentive in the way of increased COM
pensation for cases of meritorious and
faithful service. Late reports received at
the War Department indicate that an ef-
ficient and loyal force of native police has
now been organized, with prospects of fur
ther extensions and increased ability. The
total force now numbers 6,549 officers and
men, a great many of whom are on the
.smeritorious list" and receive additional
pay The body at present is concentrated
principally in northern Luzon, although
the Viscayas, Mindanao, Jolo and southern
Luzon have police forces of considerable
strength. In many Of the towns the men
are fully uniformed.

EASTMAN NOT GUILTY
HARVARD INSTRUCTOR ACQUITTED
OF THE CHARGE OF MURDER.
Court Officers Unable to Prevent n
Demonstration of Approval When
Verdict Was Rendered.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May n.-After a
long and dramatic trial Charles r. East
man, the Harvard instructor, tonight was
acquitted of the charge of numbering his
brother-in-law, Richard II. Grogan, jr,
while at target practice on July last.
The jury, after listening for nearly three
weeks TO testimony followed by two days
of argument, debated five hours and a half
before reaching a verdict. When the YER
diet was announced there was demon
stration among the hundred and fifty spec
tators which the court officers were en-

And Who Went to Rome After Tender
ing His Resignation, Which
Has Not Been Accepted.
AGUINALD0 STILL GUARDED
THAT AN ATTEMPT
MAY BE MADE TO KILL HIM.
Capt. Fred j. BarrOws Tried-Home-
Condition of Filipino Police.

MANILA, May IA petition is on its
way to the Pope, signed practically by all
the native priests, against the return here
of Archbishop Chapelle as administrator
and favoring the return of Archbishop
Nozaleda, who, although in Rome. is still
archbishop of Manila, his resignation hav-
ing never been accepted.
The opposition to Archbishop Chapelle
is chiefly on account of his expressed in
tention TO encourage the establishment of
American priests in the Philippines. The
petition cites an American military order
prohibiting the placing OF ecclesiastics of
people who are opposed to them. There is
no probability of Archbishop Chapelle's re-
turn or his transposition from the arch
bishopric Of New Orleans. The petition in
dicates a change of sentiment with refer
ence to Archbishop Nozaleda. The question
is whether the people will approve of it.
The friar issue is dwindling. If the friars
return to the few localities where they are
wanted, it is believed this will not concern
the government, unless unlawful acts are
committed The question of ownership of
the friars' lands will be settled through
suits brought by the complaining towns,
rather than on the government initiative.
Aguinaldo's life is quiet. He seldom goes
out and is always accompanied by guard,
as there is some apprehension of his assas-
sination by friends of General Luna, or
personal enemies.
The trial of CAPTAIN Fred J. Barrows,
of the Thirteenth Volunteer Infantry, quar-
termaster of the Department of Southern
Luzon, on charges connected with the COM
mssary scandals was finished to-day. The
verdict has not yet been announced.
The Department of Southern Luzon is
sending expeditions in pursuit of the re-
naming Filipino bands. 1t is expected
the island OF Mindoro will be occupied in
the near future. Many fugitive Tagalos
and a quantity of arms are reported TO
be concealed in Mindoro.
The United States Philippine Commission
is overrun with applications for civil po-

culties.
