NO WHITES STRICKEN.
Cholera Gases in Manila Confined to the
Natives-EIeasures Adopted to Pre-
vent Its Spread.

Manila, March 25.-The outbreak
of cholera here does not create
alarm. No white persons have been
stricken with the disease. Accord
ing to the reports OF the medical au-
thorities made up to noon yester-
day there have been all told 20 cases
and p deaths. Experts have gone to
investigate the five cases at Malolos,
just north of Manila, and the two
cases at Aparri. in northern Luzon.
The moving of trains on the rail-
road between here and Dagupan has
been prohibited and no boat Will be
allowed to leave Manila for inter-is-
land ports for the next five days.
The object of these restrictions is to
prevent general exodus and the
consequent possibility of spreading
the disease throughout the archipel-
ago.

TO BE FREE INDEED.
Evacuation of Cuba by United States
Will Be Complete.
President Palma VIII Be Inaugurated May
go and All American Troops VIII Be at
Once WIthdrawn-Cuban Con-
gress to Meet.

Washington, March 26.-May 20 is
the date fixed upon for turning over
the island of Cuba to its people. The
change of date was made, if not at
the suggestion, then with the full APP
proval of President-elect Palma and
his advisers, Seniors Tamaya and
Quesada, who were with him at the
war department Tuesday. This date
should be a memorable one in Cuban
history, for it will not only mark the
acquisition of full independence but
will be the Cuban Inauguration day,
it having been determined that Pres
ident Palma shall be inaugurated on
the same day that American control
of the island ceases.
Beside the final selection of May
20 as Cuban independence day, two
other important conclusions were
reached. The first was that Gen. Wood
should Immediately upon his return
to Cuba, issue a call converting the
first Cuban congress in session on
May 10 in order that thesbody might
employ the ten days following that
date in supplying any legislation nee
essary to the assumption of full pow
ers in the island. The other con-
clusion was that there should be no
halfway evacuation of the island; the
present disposition is to move the en-
tire United States contingent, civil
and military, away from the island,
not even leaving a corporal's guard
of United States soldiers in any of the
camps. If this programme is not ex-
ecuted it will be for the sole reason
that the Cubans themselves, through
their authorized officials, require that
the departure of the United States
troops be delayed for a time.

PATRICK FOUND GUILTY.
The Lawyer Convicted of the Murder of
Millionaire r ce-COnspired to Secure
Big Fortune.

New York, March s7.-A1bert T.
Patrick, lawyer, was yesterday even
ing convicted of the murder on Sep
TENDER %, 1900, of the aged million
aire recluse, William Marsh Rice.
The penalty under the statutes is
death in the electric chair. A scant
three hours of deliberation at the
close of a trial prolonged for nine
weeks and replete with sensational
interest sufficed to enable the jury
to reach their verdict. The issue of
the trial establishes the charge that
Patrick conspired with Mr.. Rice's
valet, Charles +. Jones, to obtain
possession of the aged Texans es-
tate, estimated at 100000, and that
Jones killed his employer by the adj
ministration of chloroform at the
direct instigation of Patrick.

A JOLT FOR KANSAS.
President Roosevelt VIII Not Appoint a
Man from the SunfiOwer State as
COmmiss Oner of Pensions.

Washington, March Eft is said
that the president will not appoint
Kansas man to succeed H. Clay Evans
as commissioner of pensions. The
presidents decision is explained on
the ground that whoever might be
appointed from Kansas would assume
the office seemingly under pressure
from those who are disconnected and
he would find his position intolerable
if he honestly administered the laws.
1t would simply be a reversal of the
present pension policy and appear as
if the charges against the commits
sioner of pensions had been sus-
tanned.
