the closest scrutiny Of all who profess to
be critics OF things theatrical.
Miss Kane was engaged in writing a
letter when the Sentinel representative

looked up with pair of the brightest Of
brown eyes, and replied very pleasantly
to the request for few words from her

OF quarreling among themselves il all

alt hardly seems possible to me that
this is the hrst day OF December; the
sun is 30 bright and everything seems
more like spring.
I'VE meet with splendid success ev-
erywhere. and the play gives satisfaction n
wherever it is given
Miss Kane does not know she is pretty
aud ia 80 unconventional that she holds
up her dress with two hands. This is
surely an indication of art, especially
when it is considered that she played

.'Russia's Apparent Withdrawal or Mod flea
f!os OF Her Demands Quite Fails to Restore
COniiteace in al Amicable Settlement Of
The ProbI:ul.

London (By Cable THE Far East
ern situation continues an enigma to all
European observers. Russia's apparent
withdrawal or modification OF her de-
mands quite fails to restore confidence
an an anicable settlement of the prob
lem. /, is pointed out with melancholy
truth by one English writer that trifling
WITH the Anglo-Russian incident at the
Ir,ntsin railway siding will probably
cost Great Britain at least& 1000, oco
in hard cash.
1t was the news Of this incident and the
possibility of conflict between Russia
and Great Britain, il is now learned,
which caused Bothas rejection of Gen
eral kitchener's peace terms.
Attention is directed more to Korea
than to China at tie present moment,
the belief Being general that the crisis
between Russia and Japan is really
grave
There is ample information that Japan
Is making energetic preparations for
war.
1t may be taken for granted in this
connection that Great Britain is fully
aware OF all that Japan is doing and also
OF her ultimate plans The failure Of
the African peace negotiations may have
some eject upon Japan's action.

Present as PrisonI;oi War.

! Washington (SpechD.-If Emilio
Aguinaldo has violated any Of the laws
OF war and declines p take the oath OF
allegiance to the United' States, he will
be tried by a military commission TO
be appointed by Major General Mac
Arthur.
This is the important feature OF in
structions sent by Secretary Root to
General Macarthur regarding The dis
position to be made OF the prisoner.
General Macarthur will make no bar
gain with Aguinaldo. giving him free
dom in return for aid in establishing
recognition OF American sovereignty.
He will inform Aguinaldo that the Gov
eminent is disposed to deal lenently
with him and he will be held for the
present as a prisoner OF war.
He will be kept under close survcil-
lance, so as not to be able to communi-
cate with his former subordinates to the
injury OF the United States. He will be
allowed, if he desires, to take the oath
OF allegiance and then to acQuaint the
Filipinos generally with what he has
done and his views as to their future
course.
1t was explained that notwithstand-
ing the fact that Agunaldo was cap
tured, the President holds that his case
comes within the scope Of the amnesty
proclamation issued by General Mae
Arthur last summer, and the enabling
act recently passed by the Philippines
Commission.
