Upon the production of their landing re-

change. 1t will require the brewers to
pay the internal revenue tax on beer.
While this change in attitude on the
part of the department indicates re-

revenue, it has been urged that many
seeming Inconsistencies have been al
lowed creep into the attitude OF the
government in the desire to encourage
exports The commissioner of internal
revenue in the past has not required the
payment of the internal revenue tax be-
cause of the representations which have
been made to the effect that our Ameri-
can brewers can not hope to compete
with foreign brewers who have much
shorter hauls to the Philippines. Now,
the brewers will have to pay the tax
under protest and hope for decision
from the United States supreme court,
holding that the Philippine islands are
foreign and not domestic territory.

Sergeant Willford, who had been sent
from Basey to San Antonio to investi-
gate and report in regard to the num-
ber of bolomen in that vicinity, were at
tackled by 140 insurgents. who rushed vs
them with great violence, kiinng two OF
the soldiers and woundlng two Others.
Willford remained cool and collected
during the attack, and the survivors
say he acted splendidly. Fourteen of the
insurgents were killed. Captain Book
miller, of Company q. recommends
Wiilford for a medal of honor and Pri-
Yates swanson and Vero for certificates
of merit. General Hughes reports the
complete surrender of the insurgents in
the island Of Cebu. consisting of 45O men
and sixty officers, With $50 rifles and
eight brass field pieces. The pouring of
troops into the island of Samar is be-

Senor Carbo of Ecuador jumped to his

STILL AFTER SULTAN.
French Fleet Did Not Return as Re-
ported in Morning Papers.

Paris, Nov 1.-The Toulon dispatch
announcing the return of Admiral Call
lards division of the French squadron
to that port proves to be incorrect. The
admiral is now on the way to Turkish
waters. The incorrect announcement
from Toulon of the return of Caillard's s
division, which created a great sensa-
ton, emanated from the correspondent
OF a well-known news agency. The eN-
llanation is that Admiral Maigret, COM
manding the Mediterranean fleet, re-
turned to Toulon yesterday evening with
with all the vessels except those belong
Ing to Caillard's division. The corre-
spondent of the news agency miscounted
the vessels. owing to the darkness.
Caillard's squadron is composed of the
battleships Gaulois and Charlemagne

NURSE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Jane Toppan, Accused of Four Murders,
Tries to Take Her Own Life.

Tries to Take Her Own Life.
Barnstable. Mass, Nov 1.--Pallid and
trembling, graspng the rail of a settee
for support, Miss Jare Toppan, who, as
a professional nurse, has many times
seen life so cut. almost collapsed in
the district court room as she pleaded
mot guilty" to charge of murder.
This woman, trained to face calmly
the moments that try the stoutest
hearts, could hardly walk the 200 feet
from the county jail to the court house
when she had to face the charge that
she had poisoned Mrs Mary ID. Gibbs at
Cataumet on Aug. -.
1t was learned at Lowell yesterday
that Miss Toppan attempted suicide
twice at the house of O. A. Brigham in
Centralyille four weeks ago.
DR.. w. II. Lathrop said II was called
to the house of Mr.. Brigham four weeks
ago to attend Miss Toppan. / found her
in an unconscious condition. due to a
dose of some narcotic. Her condition
was critical
when Miss Toppan became conscious
she was asked why she had taken poi
son and she replied that she was tired
OF life. She said people had been talk
ing about her and she wanted to die.
The day following called at Brigham's IS
residence and found Miss Toppan in a
bad way. But for prompt treatment she
would have died. / am of the opinion
she was insane"
Last evening Miss Toppan entered the
Jail with smile and calm confidence in
Der voice and demcanor. This morning
she came from the Jail apparently
wracked both physically and mentally.
She had slept little during the night. ana
her apparel showed she had given little
time or thought to either her garments
or her hair. She was able to summon
sufficient nervous energy to do as the
clerk directed. but only by great effort
wss she able to stand during the reading
OF the brief complaint and utter the
words, Not guilty.
Miss Toppan hardly looked 40 years
of age, even in the morning. She is
plump. with naturally full. fresh face,
and with little wrinkles about the eyes
and mouth that indicate jolly nature.
The case was continued nine days to
Nov. /. when the prosecution explained
to Judge Swift that it would be ready.
Meanwhile Miss Toppan will have to re-
main at The county Jail.

Omaha, Nov. IA ton of base silver
bullion. worth over s1,oGo, has mysteri-

is DOMESTIC TERRITORY.
Such Will Be the Ruling of the Treas
ury Department.


Washington, Nov. Within week
or ten days the treasury department
will rule that the Philippine islands are
domestic territory. The decision viii be
of vast Importance to al exporters, and
will be of particular interest to the beer
producers of st. Louis.
The decision will be direct result of
the representations made to the depart
ment by the ST. Louis brewers. Up to
the present time the department has
been in the strange position of holding
that for customs purposes the Philip
pines were part of the United States,
but for internal purposes foreign terri
tory. This position threatened a legal
action on the part of the st. Louis
brewers to force the department to cor
rect its apparent Inconsistency. In this
way the entire matter was brought TO
the attention of the secretary OF the
treasury yesterday, and is is understood
he will order the PRONUNCIATION of de-
olson holding that the Philippines are
domestic territory. The department will
persist in this attitude until the de-
cision of the United States supreme
court is rendered.
BY nothing the iSldHuS W De uoiiiSsIiS
territory the department will compel the
payment of internal revenue taxes on
beer and all articles sent to the islands.
lit will also refuse to grant the draw
back" on articles sent to the Islands in
to which imported foreign materials en-
ter in their manufacture. BY this posi-
ton the government will retain all mon
les collected but If the decision of the
supreme court should be averse to the
departments attitude, the money can
be refunded. Failure to take this posi-
ton would mean the failure to protect
the governments interests, as the mon
eys could not be collected after the de-
cision of the departments position
proved erroneous.
The change which the decision of the
secretary will make will affect st. Louis
Brewers to the extent of forcing them
to pay the internal revenue taxes on
beer sent to the Philippines, something
not required Of them now. The extent
of this is shown by the fact that the tax
is 81 60 a barrel. The brewers are in
terested in the proposition, both in its
bearing on the collection of customs du-
ties ard internal revenue.

use foreign materials in the production

ers import foreign malt for producing
their beer. They pay the customs duties
upon it. Under the law when they ex-
port beer to a foreign country they are
entitled TO the refunding of the customs
duties paid upon the foreign material
used in their beer. This refunding oper-
alton is commonly called the draw

drawback" i'll the past because the
treasury department has held that for
customs purposes the Philippines are

URGE FRANCE TO JOIN BOYCOTT.
Delegates From Amsterdam Dock la
horers Ask for Support.

|
Paris, Nov. delegates from the
Amsterdam dock laborers will arrive
in France today to endeavor to persuade
their French confreres to join the move
ment for the boycotting of English trade
by refusing to load or unload British
ships eGEaring and leaving French
ports.
The delegates have already succeeded
in securing the active support of the
dock workers of Hamburg, Genoa, Ant
werp, Brussels, Ghent, Christiana, CO.
penhagen, Gothenburg, Dordrecht and
Flushing, but no port is ready to join
Amsterdam in taking the lend in the
anti-British movement, fearing ultimate
irreparable and material loss
The attempt made at Marseiles failed
lignominiously, but the Rouen and
Havre dockmen declare they are ready
to cooperate if they are not required to
play prominent role. Secretary Hallay
of the Rouen labor exchange gave the
following statement last night:
"The idea of refusing to load or un-
load the British ships is not so impracti-
cable as it seems at first. The labor
cause thruout Europe would gain enor-
mously IT, thru striking at the British
pocket, it were able to get credit for
having put an end to the Transvaal war,
which would undoubtedly happen If
/ there were full cooperation among all
| the continental dock laborers.
Rouen has more to lose than most
French ports, but we are ready to ad-
here to the scheme. Eighty per cent OF
the boats entering the port of Rouen
bear the British flag, therefore the
Rouen Boer sympathizers would strike a
heavy blow at British commerce if they
would only stand united"
| A serious obstacle to the success of the
| movement is statement by Tom Mann.
! the English socialist. telegraphed to the
delegates yesterday afternoon, to the eff
feet that he does not believe the boy
colt will succeed, as it is impossible to
gain the adhesion of the German social
| list party.
Moreover, several prominent French
men. officers of the Boer encouragement
societies warned the delegates yesterday
| that they are nursing illusions, and in
dulging in Utopian dreams, and prepar-
| ing only evil fortune for French ports il
| they pledge the dock workers to join
| the movement.
Meetings will be held in Paris. Havre
Rouen and London to discuss the details
Of the scheme.
