Filipino Revolt subs1d,ue,

MANILA, Jan. H-Optimism is taking
the place of conservatism among mill
tary men here. the cause being the nu-
merous surrenders, captures and de-
struction of insurgent camps, coupled
with the increasing understanding of the
American intentions among the natives,
the propagation of the principles of the
Federal party and the knowledge that
they are approved by the United States
Philippine Commission and the military
authorities, and that the carrying out
of the terms of General MacArthur's
proclamation, classes all who commit
acts inimical to the interests of the Ar
my as rebels and traitors, are having
pointed effect with the offering of local
autonomy and protection and showing
the certainty of the punishment of those
who remain rebellious.

WINS CASE IN
SUPREME COURT
Policies Were Issued on Oral
Application-No Cues
.tions Asked.

Arthur CT. Merricourt has at last Won
his case against the. Norwalk Fire In
surance Company, the Supreme Court
yesterday denying the motion of the
defendant to have a re-trial of the case
on the ground that an exception
to the decision of the trial judge had
not been proper. The defendant stat
ed in his exception that at the trial
of the cause the defendant offered to
prove, without stating the object for
which such proof was offered, that the
plaintiff, prior to coming to Honolulu,
had suffered four distinct losses from
fire in California, although there was
no offer to prove the causes of those
fires.
The objection to this evidence was
sustained by the trial court and eX-
ceptions taken. The defendant stated
the exception must have been overlook
ed by the Supreme Court in rendering
its decisions and upon this ground the
motion for a rehearing was made The
defendant had alleged that shortly af-
ter Merricourt took out insurance on
his houses and household effects, they
were destroyed by fire, and always at
the same hour in the morning-about )
o'clock.
The Supreme Court rendered a decis-
written by Justice Galbraith, which is
coneurred in by Chief Justice Frear
and w. L. Stanley, sitting in place of
Justice Perry. The court says that the
evidence shows that the policies in
volved in the suit We're issued on the
oral application of the plaintiff; that
no written application was required or
requested; and it is not claimed that
the plaintiff was, asked any questions
about these previous fires, or anythins
about his past life or misfortune, or
accidents in regard to fires, and the
court does not believe that it was In
eunlbent upon thes plaintiff to do so.
Proof of the failure to disclose these
facts was. apparently admitted without
objection and the court said that the
| materially of the facts was properly
submitted to the jury, and that 1t was
as competent to pass upon their ma
teriality as any insurance expert II
follows the exception was properly
overruled, and that the motion for re-
hearing must be denied. 1t was sc
| ordered.

MISSIONARIES IN CHINA
FRENCH PREMIER DEFENDS THE

bill authorizing loan of 265,0O0,0 600 francs,
in three per cent perpetual rentes, to
reimburse the treasury for its outlay IN
connection with the Chinese expedition

He demanded the amount originally ask
ed for and asserted that he did not know
the reasons which actuate the budget
commission in proposing the reduction to
210 100000 francs until he saw the report
of Nj. Hubbard. He declared that he had
had no opportunity to oppose the reduc-
ton before the budget committee. M.
Zembat asked that the report of Gen.
Voyron, regarding the military operations
in China be submitted to the budget
committee in order that the committee
might know the facts of the case with
reference to the disorders and pillage at
tributed to the French troops.
M. Waldeck-Rousseau, the premier,
made a forcible reply, defending the
policy of France in protecting French
missionaries in China. With reference
to Gen. Voyron's principle, he said that
as France was not alone in China, por-
tons of the report had been marked
confidential and would never be publish
ed.
The premier's speech produced great
effect in the chamber and will probably
result in carrying the government s
scheme practically unchanged. The de-
bate was adjourned to Thursday.

MEAD COURT-MARTIALED
DRUNKENNESS AND CONDUCT IN
BECOMING AN OFFICER ALLEGED.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19-Col. Robert L.
Meade, the commanding officer of the
marine barracks at the Brooklyn navy
yard, faced a court martial today in the
paymaster's building at the yard on
charges preferred against him by Mai.
{. II. Lauchfeimer and Col. L. f. Denny.
The officer is accused of drunkenness
While on duty and scandalous conduct.
Inc members of the court are Rear Ad-
miral George w. Sumner, Capt George
+. Wilde, Col James Forney, Capt. r.
A. COOK, Capt. f. E. Chadwick, Capt. B.
T. Lamberton, Capt. R. E. Walker, Capt.
George W. Pigman and Capt. G. M.
Chester. The judge advocate was Lieut..
A +. Niblack, assisted by Capt. b. IL.
Fuller. Col. Meade was represented by
Lorenzo D. Semple and c. D. Semple, of
the law firm of Coudert Brothers.
only Two witnesses were examined to-
day, the first being Col. F. L. Denny,
one OF the two compliments, who maze
direct charge of intoXication and I'M
becoming conduct against Col. Meade. In
his testimony he said on March 49, April
80, and July Is, of this year, while on a
tour OF inspection Of the marine bar
racks he, in company with Mr.. William
A. Boring, of Boring & Tilton, archi-
NSSeo, Ado SOlllc III contact with Col.
Meade, who, he said, was inebriated in
an extent to drunkenness, and that he
was incapable of performing his duties
as an officer.
Architect Boring. the other witness.
testified that in company with Lieut..
Denny he visited the marine barracks ON
tour of inspection pending improve
ments on March Is and April 30, of this
year, and on both occasions he said that
Col. Meade acted in a very cratic man
ner, and While talking on business apper-
tanning to the proposed improvements in
the buildings, Col. Meade had acted in a
very strange way which the witness de-
scr1bed as being caused by intoxication.
He said that Col. Meade was incoherent
at times and made sweeping statements
as to all contractors having business IN
the navy yard, saying they were thieves
and robbers, and made other remarks
Which were more forcible than polite.
When the court adjourned at four
o'clock this afternoon it was decided to
hold daily sessions from ten to three
O'Clock every day this week, and it is
expected that from the mass of evidence
which is to be brought before the court
the sessions may possibly last until the
latter part of next week.
