each weighing 100 pounds. became
disengaged by collision with the

TO MAKE CHINA PAY.


Pekin, March s.--'rhe ministers
committee has completed its report
and the general principle to be adopt
ed in the case of indemntics is based
upon laws in harmony with the Ro.
man and English systems. The ne
goliations, Mr.. Rockhill says, are go.
ing on we'll and he sees no reason
why they should not be completed
in two months with the exception
of the commercial treaties, which
will probably take a long time.
Regarding indemnity for losses sus-
tanned by missionaries and native
Christians, Gen. Chafree pointed out
that his sentiments were well known
to the American missionaries: that
he was opposed to extortion in every
form and that he favored strict ius-
tlce in every case.

CUBAN CONVENTION.
1t Net Yesterday in Secret Session
on the Plat Amendment.
CONSERVATIVES SCORED 4 VICTORY.
It Is Generally Believed That the Crisis
Has Passed and Nothing IN the Nature
Of Rising Is Any Longer
Feared.

Havana, March S.-The Cuban con-
stitutional convention met in secret
session yesterday afternoon for for
NAL discussion of the Platt amend
ment. The conservative element
scored victory 1t was decided to
continue the sessions of the cOnven-
ton and to refer the amendment to
the special committee on relations,
with instructions TO bring in a re-
port. Twenty-nine delegates were
present. Senior Llorente and Gen.
Rivera being the only absentees. Gen.
Sanguily favored dissolving the con-
vention and returning the amendment
without discussion. The other dele
gates were unanimously in favor of
continuing the sessions and of send
ing some answer to the executive
department in Washington. The
argument turned on the question
whether the convention had power
to adopt scheme of relations that
would be binding upon the future re-
public. Last week majority of the
delegates opposed this view. Yester-
day Senior Nunez, representing the
conservatives, argued that the dele
gates were empowered to call for the
convention to establish permanent re.
lations with the United States and
ought not to attempt to shirk this
duty.
Gen. Sanguily contended that the
intention of the original call was an
nulled by GOV. Gen. Woods instruc-
tons at the opening of the convenA
ton, when delegates were asked to
give only an opinion.
The radical element did not flock
to Gen. Sanguily as had been ex-
pected and the conventions action in
referring the question to the special
committee on relations indicates a
willingness to recede from the former
attitude. 1t is evident that many of
the delegates still hope the amend
meni will be changed. but there is
no bitter feeling now apparent. 1t is
doubtful whether the convention will
ever agree to accept the amendment,
but the conservatives maintain that
the willingness of the radicals to dis
cnSs and, if necessary to send a COM
mitice to Washington, gives more
hopeful aspect to conditions which
We're growing strained.
II is generally believed that the
crisis. If any existed, has passed and
that By the time the committee re-
ports the present excitement will
have died cat. Much depends upon
the attitude Of the radical delegates.
II an impassioncd appeal to the peo-
pie is issued, as it is rllmored will be
the case. this may cause demonstra-
tions of protest against the United
States. But nothing in the nature of
an uprising is any longer feared

DEPORTINC REBELS.
Gen. Macarthur Sends lnsurgent
Sympathizers to Guam.
PRISONERS SNAPPED cor RIFLES.


Washington, March s.-Gen. Mac
Arthur has notified the war depart
ment by mail that in pursuance OF
authority obtained from the depart
ncnt under date Of December n last
he has ordered the deportation Of a
number of persons whose overt acts
have clearly revealed them as in aid
of or in sympathy with the insurrec-
ton and the irregular guerrilla war
fare by which it is being maintained
and whose continued residence in the
Philippine islands Is, in every essen
tiaI regard, inimical to the pacifca-
ton thereof.
The general then gives list of in
surgents and sympathizers whose de-
portation he ordered up to the date
Of his report, and the persons named
were delivered to Maj. Henry B. Or
wig, Thirty-seyenth infantry, on
board the transport Rosecrans, for
deportation TO the island of Guam,
"there to be held under surveillance
or in actual custody, as circumstances
may require, during the further prog
ress of hostiIities and until such time
as the restoration of normal peace
conditions in the Philippines has re-
suited in q public declaration of the
termination of such hostiliiies."
Subsequently another batch of in
surgent sympathizers and agitators
were dcported to Guam on the U. S.
s. Solace, to be held under the same
condition as the others. This party
consisted OF members of the Katipu-
nan society, who had taken the oath
of allegiance to the United States sim
ply for the purpose of facilitating
revolutionary operations in the PROV
ince of Ilocos Norte.
Additional inducements have been
made to the insurgents to surrender
their guns-Gen Macarthur has d.
rected all department commanders to
release one prisoner for every rife
surrendered. An insurgent who sur
renders his gun will be permitted to
name the prisoner to be released pro-

PROTEST AGAINST THE DUTY.
4 delegation Of Illinois Manufacturers Asks
Secretary Gage to Repeal His Order
on Russian sugar.

Washington, March THE delega.
ton of the Illinois Manufacturers
association, which Tuesday called on
Secretary Gage to protest against his
action in declaring a countervailing
duty against Russian beet sugar, has
received the reply of the secretary to
their criticism. The protest was pre-
sented by Martin b. Madden, who
said his association represented a
constituency of 100000 employees and
workers in Illinois whose combined
production amounted to $2,0OO.O0O, 900
annually. He said that not only these
people but all the manufacturers and
wage-earners of the United States
would be injured if retaliatory meas
ures are to be enforced against our
manufactured products because of the
recent decision of the treasury on
countervailing Russian duties. After
going at considerable length into the
industrial revival of the country dur
ing the past four years, the petition
concludes: at is our belief that the
decision recently rendered by this
department against the Russian gov
eminent will seriously affect all the
great agricultural and manufacture
ing interests of the United States.
In view of this belief we feel that we
are not only justified in requesting
a reversal, but we would be false to
the interests Of the country if we did
not demand its immediate repeal
The secretary explained at some
length that it was perfectly useless
for any association of manufacture
ers or anyone else to demand OF the
treasury department the repeal of
the countervailing duty order The
duty in question, he said, was i'm
posed IN obedience to the law of con-
gress and was matter over which the
treasury department had no control
except 10 carry out the law.
