Who 10 Yale Graduate.

Tung, secretary OF the Chinese EN-
bassy to the coronation of King Ed
ward, was to-day appointed Chinese
minister to the United States.
New Ministers to Russia. France and
Italy have also been named. The selec-
tlons for these posts show that the
dowager empress continues to regard
the diplomatic service as unimportant
None OF the appointees is OF higher
than the blue button rank, and none
has held any important office All of
them except Liang Chen Tung are un-
known to the foreign community.
Liang Chen Tung's appointment
pleases the Americans here The new
ly appointed diplomat was educated in
America. He is "A graduate of Yale
University, and is able. dignified and
honest. He is the first of the body of
students sent to America in the '70s to

complishments, the Chinese officials
having disllked them because of their
progressive. views.

LORD SALISBURY RESIGNS.
A. j. BaIfour Succeeds Him as Prime
Minister of Great Britain.

London. July 13,-The fact of the res
ignation OF the premiership OF Great
Britain by Lord Salisbury, as fore
shadowed in recent dispatches. was Of
ficially given out this evening. The
prime minister laid down the RESPONSE
bilitles OF his office July 11th. Within
tventyfour hours his majesty elevated
A. ]. Balfour. the governments chief
representative in the House of Com
mons, to the position of premier.
While II was expected In political
and commercial circles that Lord Sal
isbury's retirement would be ccl..ci-
dent with the coronation OF King Ed
ward, 1t was scarcely looked for prior
to that event
The livellest speculation is rife as to
the personnel OF the new cabinet. The
most discussed feature OF the pending
changes Is the position Of Mr.. Cham
berlain, colonial secretary, who in
many quarters has been regarded as
the most promising candidate for the
premiership.
Lord Salisbury. in reslgnlng, ex-
pressed the desire that no new title
or honors should be conferred upon
him.
The retirement OF this last great
statesman of the Victorian age Is uni
vcrsally regarded as the transition
from one generation to another. and
as marking the close OF an era In the
national life.

The second report. signed by w. II.

printing contracts would be an invcs-
tigation by somebody with full legal
powers Both reports concur In the
statement that the difficulty OF getting
witnesses renders their services no
longer useful Both reports are very
short. taking up but three pages of
typewriter matter.
AIR. Kistler's report affirms that the
statements made In the report OF the
committee appointed by Judge Lind
sey. alleging overcharges to the amount
OF between 10000 and $4,000, have

DENVER. April 23.-General Funston,
this afternoon, said that in future his pub
lie utterances would be free from any ref
erence to the Philippines, intimatng that
his speeches, as printed, were, as a rule,
full or misstatements and very badly
garbled. General Funston announced. last
Sunday, that he would not attend the Mid
dlesex Club at Boston. He has accepted an
invitation to attend a banquet to be given
in his honor in this city on May l, by the
Colorado Volunteers Association.
Later in the day, when shown copy of

LATEST ORDERS TO CHAFFEE
HE MUST CONFER WITH THE PHIL
IPPINE COMMISSION,
Also Must Try Persuasion on the
Moros Before Starting on a Puni-
tive Expedition.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-By direction
of President Roosevelt. acting Secretary of
War Sanger has addressed the following
message to Gen. Fred Funston, command
ing Department of the Colorado, at Den
yer:
"Sir-I am directed by the President to
instruct you that he wishes you to cease
further public discussion OF the situation In
the Philippines. and also to express his
gret that you should make senator of the
United States the object OF public criticism
or discussion"
At banquet last Saturday night of the
Colorado Sons of the Revolution, General
Funston is reported to have said of Senator
Hoar: Il have only sympathy for the senior
senator from Massachusetts,, who is suffer-
ing from an overheated conscience" Prob
ably what caused the issue of this particu-
lar letter was an application from General
Funston for leave of absence in order that
he might attend the banquet to be given
in Boston by the Middlesex Club. 1t was
understood that he was TO deliver another
address there. and as the President depre-
Gates the discussion of public questions in
this fashion by United States officials and
officers, this letter was sent. The request
for leave of absence was refused. A copy of
Mr.. Sanger's letter was forwarded to SEN
ator Hoar.

FURTHER CONCESSIONS GRANTED BY
THE COLOMBIAN REPUBLIC.

Lease of the Land Necessary
for the waterway.

WASHINGTON. April 23.-There have
been some recent communications be-
tween Secretary Hay and the Colombian
minister. Mr. Concha containing the basis
of an agreement between the two countries
in the event Congress should authorize the
construction of a canal across the Isthmus
of Panama. The first of these communica-
tons was from the Colombian minister and
contained propositions of his government
as TO the terms. concessions, grants, COM
pensation, etc, on which Colombia would
consent to the construction of the canal.
in reply TO which Secretary Hay trans
mitted a memorandum of a hypothetical
and conditional nature as to what this gov
ernment would do in the event that Con-
gress authorized the President to act. This
memorandum sent to Minister Concha
to-day. The purpose of the communications
was TO remove room for doubt as to what
each government would do if a canal was
directed to be built. The following au
thorized statement concerning the prouosi-
tions of Colombia as they stand amended
was made public to-day:
The United States is granted exclusive
right to construct. operate and protect n

and includes the islands of Flaminco. Naos

Colombia gives unqualified consent to the
sale and transfer of the Panam Canal Com

States lease of the canal strip i'm per

Testimony of Former Army Offcer
Who Was Tortued by the FiHpinOs.


LOS ANGELES. Cal. April 23.-Charles
E. James, formerly first lieutenant of the
Thirty-sixth Regiment. United States Vol
unteers, who is a resident of Los
Angeles, said in an interview that the
present agitation against the use of the
water cure in the Philippines is due TO
the untruth and exaggerated reports which
magnify the cruelty of the operation.
Il have taken the water cure, and
know what it is. since ii was administered
by the Filipinos," said Lieutenant James.
Il have seen it administered TO several
hundred natives and know its effects. In
the first place let me state that | never
knew of the water cure killing a vic
tim. When the statement is made that
the subject is given water until his lungs
filled, il is an untruth. Anyone of
common sense knows that a man would
strangle to death in very short space of
time in such circumstances. My own ex-
perience took place in June, 1900. Colonel
Jack Roberts, a son of General Roberts;
a private by the name OF Gallon. and my
self were scouting just north Of Blaeana-
bato Pass out from San Miguel when a
force under General Treson surrounded US.
We were taken into the mountains and
forced TO march three days without food.
We made from eighteen TO twenty-five
miles day. This starvation was carried
out with the intention of forcing TO di-
vulge army news. 1t did not succeed, how
ever. At the end Of that time we were Civ
en- uncooked rice 10 eat and in the evening
we were introduced TO the water cure
by natives called 'Tubig. Regarding the
effects of the cure l will state that the dis

KAISER BOOMS ALCOHOL
HIS MAJESTY WANTS 1T USED AS a
FUEL FOR MOTORS.
Thinks He Can Aid German Aasy4cul-
turists by Making Greater De-
mand for Potatoes.

BERLIN, April 23.-Emperor William is
showing extraordinary interest in motors
in which potato alcohol is used as fuel.
While the Emperor was on his recent ex-
cursion on the North German Lloyd steam
er Kronprinz Wilhelm. i'm the North sea,
he obtained a promise from Herr Wiegand
general director of the German Lloyd Com
pany, to equip the harbor boats at Bremen
haven with spirit motors. His Majesty then
sent a wireless inquiry 10 the Hamburg
American Steam Packet Company asking
what they would do in the circumstances.
In two hours the Hamburg-Amercan Com
pany replied that they would do the same
thing The Emperor mentioned the motors
to Herr Krupp last Sunday at Meppen,
where he witnessed tests of new guns. Herr
Krupp ordered that an alcohol engine be
put in service in shifting guns at Meppen.
Last Sunday at Hanover where the En-
peror went to witness the unveiling of a
monument erected in honor of General Won
Rosenberg, his Majesty commanded Com
mercial Councillor Koerting 10 appear in
audience before him. Emperor William
then talked for half an hour upon the great
future of alcohol as a fuel for motors.
Again and again he repeated his intention
to smooth the way, wherever he could do
so. for the industrial application of alco-
hol. Upon reaching the railroad station
a Berlin early Monday morning the En-
peror sent a telegram to the chairman of
the Alcohol Association announcing Herr
Krupp's decision to use an alcohol motor.
The alcohol corporation. two of whose Of
fcals were amng the Emperor's guests on
the KronprinZ Wilhelm, will supply gratis
the spirits for these experiments. as well
as for those already ordered TO be made
in the German navy.
A satisfactory alcohol motor does not yet
appear to have been constructed, although
every motor maker is seeking 10 improve
the existing models. What is chiefly de-
sired is a ship motor. Successful tramway
motors were exhibited al the Berlin alcohol
exhibition held last February. 1t will be
remembered that the War Department is
now advertising for military automobiles
using alcohol.
Emperor Williams interest in the alco-
hol motor is largely inspired by his desire
TO help German agriculture by opening a
new career for the potato. which shall equal
that of the beet root.
