This will rank as bad year for the farm
ers throughout Great Britain. Alike in Eng
land and in Scotland the acreages sown in
wheat and barley are smaller than they were
last year, and there is decline in the num-
Der of cattle, sheep and pigs kept in England,
Nor is the decline an unimportant one. In
many respects it leaves British agriculture in
more restricted plight than for years. In
Scotland the position is not so bad as in Eng
land.

Berlin, June 6-The Tageblatt prints
special correspondence from New Guinea
containing full account of the massacre
of the members of the First German
South Sea expedition on the cannibal ISL
ands of St. Matthias. They were all killed
and eaten. save DR.. Heinroth.
The Colonial zeitung the official organ
of the German Colonial Society, furnishes
details of the massacre. 1t seems that the
vessel which carried the expedition to the
Island of St. Matthias left, after a few
days. for Herbertshoh, New Britain, to
get coal and fresh supplies. During its
absence the savages who had hitherto ap-
peared friendly although known to be
rabid cannibals, planned to kill and mob
the diminished party.
The plot was carried out one morning
while the members of the expedition. who
had a bodyguard of forty Papuans, were
cleaning their rifles. which they had taken
apart Suddenly eighty of the islanders
broke from the bushes, raising fierce war
cries and brandishing spears with which
they stabbed to death the leader OF the
party, DIR. Mencken, his secretary, Herr
Caro-, and white sailor who was asleep
under a tent.
DR.. Heinroth emptied his revolver into
his asssiiants while the bodyguard in the
meantime retired to the boats with the
wounded, and DR.. Heinroth, leaving
twelve dead. The boats put off to an ISL
and not far distant, where the expedl-
tionary vessel rescued them. Subse-
quenty the survivors returned to the ISL
and of st. Matthias, where they found
that the bodies had been devoured and
the camp absolutely looted.

TO BE A DUAL GOVERNMENT.
FiIipinos to Have Both Military and
Civil Rulers.

Washington, June 6-The new civil
government to be established in the Phil
ippines is receiving the consideration of
the President and the Secretary of War.
1t will differ very little from what was
first intended, as there will be governor
for the archipelago and a legislative
council and other officers. This govern
ment will have control of all civil affairs,
but it will be under the war power, to
the extent of being directed by the Sec
retary of War.
There will be a nice distinction as to
the authority of the general commanding
the troops in the Philippines and the
governor to be appointed under the civil
government. No official declaration has
been made as to which will be the su-
preme authority, but 1T is known that the
Secretary of War will be supreme. While
1t is not the intention to conduct the
government of the Philippines under the
Spooner law that law will be taken as
sanctioning what is to be done. The new
government will be similar to that
which existed for a short time in the
early days of New Mexico. There was a
civil governor appointed by the President
and a commanding general of the army
Both had their functions in preserving
the peace and controlling the affairs of
the territory.

TO GUARANTEE INDEMNITY,
But United States Will Not BE Bound
for Shares of Other po~er

nut united states Will Not BE Bound
for Shares of Other Powers.
Washington, June 6-The ambassadors
from most of the European countries were
in conference with Secretary Hay to-day
mainly because it was diplomatic day,
which afforded an opportunity for discuss
ing the state of the Chinese negotiations.
1t is understood that the middle ground,
or fnodus vivendi, as it is being referred
TO, concerning the form of paying the in
demnity, is likely to be settled by a joint
ana several guaranty. This will be in
compliance with the American view that
there should be no joint guaranty, in the
sense of binding each government to Sc
curing the payment of the entire 1897, ,000,-
UcO 1t will be joint, however, in the
formal aspect of being executed by all of
the Powers jointly, at the same time and
probably by the same instrument. This
instrument doubtless will include a pro-
vision by which each government is to as
sumo no liability beyond the amount of its
own share of the indemnity, which, in the
case of the United States, is limited to
z5,C00,OC0
in answer to his inquiry, Special Com
missioner Rockhill at Pekin, has been in
formed that the United States government
has not taken any steps recently looking
toward the abatement of it's claims for
indemnity against China by one-half, re-
gardless of the action of other Powers.

Columbia, s. c.. June 6.-Senator Till
man does not take kindly to McI,aurin' s
proposition made yesterday for an un-
conditional resignation. He was called
on at Rock Hill to-day aud shown the
junior senator's challenge. which pro-
vided that IL Tillman would uncondition-
ally resign. McI.aurin would step out in
the same manner and contest for his
seat
Mr. Tiilman said he did not feel that
he should make reply to the challenge in
that shape. 1t came through an inter-
view and was too roundabout to suit
him. He considered 1t puerie. His res
ignation had been unqualified and uncon-
ditional.
Il forced McLaurin to jump overheard

Senator Tillman exhibited letter from
Senator Castor of Pennsylvania implor-
ing him not TO insist on resigning, as MS
services we're needed in the Senate, and
he feared the food of corruption money
that would be poured into the state would
sweep away The Democratic majority.
Tillman remarking that circumstantial ev-
idence was most damning, said he felt GER
tain the fears of CASTOR were well found
ed. Asked IL he believed McLaurin would
take the initiative in resgning so that
Tillman could follow suit, he laughed de-
risively, saying after having turned tail''
as he had done, that would be boys play.

Mania, June 6.-The fragmentary news
received here of the Porto Rican decis-

will be such a deficit in the Philippine
revenues that Congress will need to make
an appropriation to meet it. Fears are
tion of jury trials and other features of
the constitution not suited to the condi-
tions of the Philippines.
Importers are preparing claims for a
refunding of duties paid.
On account, it is reported, of the decis-
ion of the Supreme Court, the United
States Philippine Commissioners are in
clined to postpone their proposed north
ern tour. They are somewhat nonp.uss-
ed over the matter and are anxious to
receive advices from Washington.
Gen. Chaffee will sail on the transport
Sumner Saturday for a tour of the ISL
ands.
A private conference between Gems.
Chaffee and Macarthur took place to-day
Gen. Chaffee informed the correspondent
of the Associated Press that while ne was
not sure of the Orientars general capacity
for seaf-government he favored the estab-
lishment of civil control in the Philip
pines at the earliest practicable moment.
He was in full sympathy with the COM
missions plans for native education and
business advancement, because the Unit
ed States interests and native interests
lie in the same line. 1t seems certain that
under plain division of civil and mill
tary authority, Judge Taft and Gen
Chaffee will collaborate admirably.

ACCIDENT TO LAWS0N'S YACHT
Independence Big steel Mast stood

Boston, June 6.-The Lawson yacht IN
dependence, in her second sail trial to-
day. met with her first accident, a not
very serious jamming of the steering
gear but sufficiently to stop the trial af-
ter an hour and a half of splendid sail
ing, during which she attained speed on
a reach OF a little over three miles Of
thirteen and one-half nautical miles an
hour.
The accident led very Unexpectedly to
a most thorough test of the yachts rig
ging and her big steel mast, and the re-
suit showed that it would take a pretty
sever blow to dismast the Boston yacht.
The big boom, swung by fifteen-knot
breeze, swept over the stern of the yacht
at a tremendous speed, Capt. Han being
unable to prevent 1t. II was so sudden
that none of the crew was aft with the
preventer tackle, and the big mast had 10

cUBANs MIsCONsTRUED HIM.
Secretary Root VIII Not stand for
Their Additions TO Amendment.

hhoVt NOt SUNNI Tot
Their Additions to Amendment.
Washington June 6.--Relative to the
several representations made in Havana
regarding the Interpretation by the secre-
tary of War to the Cuban commission
ers OF the Platt amendment, II can be
stated authoritatively that the Secretary
did not deviate from the declaration that
the President and himself had no power
TO change an act of Congress. 1t is said
here that the amendments which the Gu
ban convention made to the Platt law and
the interpretations of conversations with
Secretary Root did not represent his
views of the amendment, nor was he cor
rectly quoted in the alleged statements.
Among the reports given out in Havana
is the translation OF letter OF Senator
Platt, written to the Secrtarey of War
and furnished as a confidential document
to the Cuban commissioners when they
were here. This letter briefly gives the
views of the Connecticut Senator upon
some features Of the law which bears his
name. Surprise was expressed that lhe
letter should appear In print In Havana.
