THE WAR CONTINUES.

New Britain, Dec 23.-Any hope of securing peace between the two fac
 tions of the local physicians has been dissipated by the action of the New Britain Medical society, which has
 caused to be sent to the members of the Society of Regular Physicians through the mail notice of their an- nual dues as members of the former society. The dues are for $4 A member of the Society of Regular Physicians in speaking of the matter said that he supposed .those fellows
 needed little money to carry on their society and pay their room rent, but they would not get any help from his society" They were no longer mem bers of the New Britain Medical soci- ety, having withdrawn from it. He considered sending out the notices a schoolboy trick. The only one who would be benefited would be Uncle sam through the sale of few stamps.

President Loubet Attends Unveahng.
 Socialist Demonstration.
 PARIS, Dec. 23.-President Loubet inaugurated yesterday in the Faubourg St. Antoine a statue to the memory of Deputy Charles Baudin, a representa- tive of the people who was killed on the barricade of the Faubourg St. An toine Dec. 5, 1851, the day following She coup d'etat of Louis Napoleon.
 Baudin was memorable for the reply he gave to the workman who refused 10 defend the barricade. To this man Baudin said, "You will see how q rep resentative of the people can die for 25 francs a day" He then mounted the barricade. The soldiers fired vol ley, and Baudin fell dead.
 There was considerable apprehension of disturbances at the inauguration, owing to the insistence of the National ist president of the municipal council of Paris, M. Dausset, that he be per- mitted to deliver a speech at the in auguration, although he was not in- cluded in the official list of speakers. The ceremony had already been once postponed on account of the attitude of M. Dausset.
 The Socialists planned counter demonstration to the unveiling. They gathered in the Faubourg, wearing red flowers in their buttonholes as party emblem. Owing to the strong precau- tions taken by the police, however, no serious disturbance occurred, al- though M. Dausset and some of his J1oo pf I,o iniY narrow escape from rough handling There were several slight conflicts be- tween Nationalists and Socialists,

Interesting Address by Mrs White
 more of Door of Hope Mission.
 Mrs F. NJ. Whittemore of the Door of Hope mission i'll New York spoke 10 one of the largest audiences of the season at the mems meeting in Jacques opera house yesterday after noon. Her address dealt mainly with her own work among the poor and out cast in the metropolis, though she made an appeal to the men of this city to lead pure and upright lives. An unusually interesting feature of the meeting was the singing by thes Star trio, consisting of soprano, alto and baritone. All three singers are col ored and from the south, though their musical training was acquired in the north. They sang religious plantation melodies and Were repeatedly encored Mrs Whittemore spoke particularly of the results of faith in connection with her work, and illustrated by telling the Biblical story of Jacob and his son Jo- seph. Jacob refused to believe that his son was alive and occupying such q prominent place in Egypt, until he saw the wagons and treasures that Jo- seph had sent him. Mrs Whittemore used this story in illustration of the evidences given her by the Lord of the approval of her work and the success that would attend her efforts. She told many affecting anecdotes In con- nection with her ten years work in New York, and how many young wo- men had been reclaimed from lives of sin. when, judging from an. ordinary standpoint, one would have called it impossible

GUILTY OF TREASON.
Officials of a NIindanao Province Gave
 Aid to Rebels.

AlQ 10 heDelS.
 MANILA, Dec, 2o.-General Georgc ". Davis, commanding at Zamboanga. island of Mindanao, has requested thal the province of Misamis, Mindanao, again be placed under military control. General Davis has proof that the re- gently elected presidente and vice councillors and the leading men of Cagayan de Misamis are guilty of trea- son in furnishing ammunition to the in- surgents within the past month.
 The fiscal of the province of Misamis is also implicated The evidence shows that all these men were members of the secret Katipunan society. General James F. Wade, commanding the American forces on Cebu island, con CUTS in and indorses the request of General Davis and, reviewing the situ- ntion in Mindanao, says he is satisfied that the ends of justice, peace and good government will soonest be obtained by the restoration of military control to the province of Misamis and the overcoming of all resistance to that au- thority.
 General Ball, who is in command of the American forces ill Batangas prov ince, Luzon, has praised Lieutenant James D. Tilford. who, while scouting with Troop D of the First cavalry, routed m insurgent force i'll that prov ince. Lieutenant Tilford located . reb- el stronghold on top of a hill near the town of Batangas. He surrounded the enemy under cover of night and at tackled them at daylight. Their surprise was complete. Nineteen insurgents were killed while attempting to escape. Lieutenant Tilford captured sixteen ri iies and 300 rounds of ammunition.
 A detachment of scouts of the Sec ond infantry also had q small engage ment with the insurgents i'll which they killed nine men and captured four.
 Lieutenant John D. Hartman of the First cavalry during an expedition which lasted several days encountered the enemy six separate times without losing one of his men. He destroyed several barracks.
 The United States army transport Meade has arrived here.i She reports having met q terrific typhoon Dec. 13 and 15 which did some damage to her boats and flooded the cabins and the hospital quarters, causing great alarm to those on board.
 General Chaffee, speaking on the sit uation in the islands, said he consider ed conditions in the Philippines to be hopeful and that by the end of Febru- ary all the turbulent provinces will have been pacified. General Chaffee ex- cepts the island of Samar, however, which will probably require some months longer. There the situation de mands policy of rigid starvation and the giving of food only to those who surrender or who stay in the towns. 1 The closing of the ports in Laguna and Batangas provinces in Luzon has l had most salutary effect, as the meas ure has resulted in touching the pock- l cts of the Manila Fiiipinos who have been aiding the insurgents. The former l are now anxious for peace and arc l working to that end.

ADOPT LENIENI Attitude.
Easily Possible To Bring About
Partition Of China.
QUESTION OF INDEMNITY.

Washington. Feb. 4.-Being obliged
by the attitude of the other powers
interested TO continue at Pekin the
negotiations looking to settlement OF
the Chinese difficulties, in spite of a
most diseouraging outlook for favor
able conclusion there, the Department
Of State has now sent by cable to Mr..
Conger very precise and detailed in
structions for his guidance in treating
OF the question OF indemnity.
The ministers have reached finally
this important topic, which was one of
TWO or three that the State Department
earnestly desired to have dealt with by
other agencies and at another capital
than Pelzin. Since it is found neces-
sary to furnish Mr.. Conger with such
exact instructions as will prevent any
possible misunderstanding as to the
purposes of the United States govern
ment upon this subject.
Realizing that it is easily possible to
destroy the Chinese government and
bring about the partition of the en-
pire, which all powers express them
selves as desirous of preventing, by an
in-judged effort to force terms as to
indemnity, the State Department IL is
believed has adopted lenient attitude
and will lose no opportunity to infir-
ence other powers accordingly.
