PEASANT REVOLT IN RUSSIA.
THEY BURN THE CHATEAU OF THE
DUKE OF OLDENBOURG AND
RUIN HIS ESTATE

st. Petersburg. April 30-Duke Alexander OF
Oldenbourg's celebrated Chateau of Romone, in
the government of Voronej, Southern Russia,
has been burned by revolted peasants. who
practically ruined the estate. The duke is the
father-in-law OF the Cars sister, Olga, who
married his son, Duke Peter. last year.
The seriousness of the situation in South Rus
STA is apparent from the fact that Dragomiron.

officials have Joined Won Plehwe, the Minister
OF the Interior. at Kharkon
The Voronej sugar refneries have especially
suffered from the outbreak during which the
Duke OF Oldenbourg's estate was dsmantled. 1t
now develops that the agitators who are chiefly
responsible for the spread of the revolutionary
movement among the hungry peasants used
curious political canard TO bring the former
serfs and the landowners into collision. ru-
NOR was industrously circulated that the Car
had ordered the lands of the mobiles to be divided
among the emancipated serfs. The peasants
thereupon formed committees under the COM
mune officials which waited the landowners
and ordered them 10 vacate the land withheld
from the peasants, chose their own agents. and
proceeded TO distribute the land and movables
leaving the nobemen from fifteen 10 twenty
acres each The proceedings. which were or
derby, conducted with the utmost gravity
until the authorities interfered. Thereafter
there was riot arson and devastation.

lRY CAELE TO TRIBUNEl
Santiago, May Twenty thousand people
greeted President-elect Palma his arrival
here to-day. The short sea trip from Manza-
Milo was rather rough. and the President-elect
passed an uncomfortable night. He was up
early. however, and ready for another days
ordeal
As the steamer Queen of Angeles came close
enough there could be seen standing along the
river front hundreds of people, waving hats and
handkerchiefs. About the time several
launches gayly decorated, bore down on the
vessel making a noise with steam whistles
which made it impossible TO hear speak
Salutes were also fired.
one of the first to board the Presidents-elect
steamer was General Samuel NJ. Whitside mill
tary commander at Santiago General Palma
shook hands cordially with him, and said he
had heard that the general has treated the
Cubans very kindly and fairly. for which he
thanked him. The first to pay their respects to
General Palma on his arrival ashore were seven
of the prettiest young girls in Santiago. who
presented to him bouquets. He rewarded each
with a kiss.
In the afternoon General Palma visited the
cemetery. where he placed wreaths the
graves of the Cuban patriots General Carlos
Manuel Cespedes, Jose Marti and General Ser
vllo Prado. He also decorated the graves Of
those who participated in 1878 in the Inflated
Virginius f1libustering expedition. About each
he spoke some kind words.
Then. accompanied in army wagon by Cen
era Whtsde. General Palma rode TO San Juan
Hill. which was the most important part OF the
days programme. on that historic battle
ground the President-elect OF Cuba paid glow
ing tribute to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. of the
Rough Riders now the President of the United
States. Here il was he said. that Americans
and Cubans fought bravely side by side for in
dependence and President Roosevelt
Of the bravest in the battle There were. un-
fortunately. many lives lost in that memorable
fight but il contributed TO the contamination
Of our freedom. and we not only grateful
10 Americans, but will show ourselves worthy
of what has been done for us" A pretty park
has been made of the San Juan battle-ground,
and General Whitside showed General Palma
everything Of interest. He was particularly i'm
pressed by the monument erected in memory Of
the heroes killed there. On the monument is a
bronze tablet bearing a pretty tribute to the
dead. The Cuban flag flew over the ground.
General Palma also inspected the headquar-
ters Of the sanitary department, and shown
about by Major Barber. chief of the department
Major John B. Mangum, Of the Rural Guards,
who has been assigned as personal aide to the
President-elect, complimented by General
Palma for the good order kept in the crowded
streets by his men. In town visited thus
far by General Palma has there been displayed
more American flags than here

THE POWERS IN THE EAST.
COUNT Won WALDERSEE DISCUSSES
PHASES OF WORLD POLITICS.

Berlin. May 1.-"American energy and Ameri-
can millions are making themselves felt in China
more and more powerfully said Count Won
Waldersee in an interview at Dresden, where he
is visiting the King OF Saxony. Count Won
Waldersee was commander in chief of the allied
forces in China. Continuing he said
We have come into closer political touch with
the United States. and that country Will exer-
else favorable influence in the worlds poll
tics"
In this interview Count Won Wadersee was
surveying the present position Of affairs and
the relations of the powers in China. He re-
1erred also TO the attitude OF the officers of the
armies Of the powers toward each other and
toward himself while he was commander in
chief in China. Although he chose his language
with caution Count Won Waldersee made sew
eral statements of the first Importance. The
Engish-Jaranese alliance Is of pre-eminent
significance" he said 1T reveals the serious
ness of the world situation. In Japan, which
l visited after leaving China. a collision with
Russia is regarded unavoidable. The Japa-
nese troops which l saw are excellently trained.
Several of the Russian positions in East Asia
seem still to be exposed but this will not be for
long, because Russia is making the best use
OF her time. Her position at sea is daily grow
ing stronger, and great interests are at stake
in China.
From all sides, Burmah, Tonquin, etc, energy
is being directed toward the Yangtse Valley,
which. because of its position and wealth. is the
most important part of China"
Referring to his relations with the French
forces during the Chinese troubles. Count Won
Waldersee said The common intellectual re-
lations existing between France and Germany
round expression in various ways during the
events In China The French troops always
liked to fight by the side of the German soldiers.
he loyalty of General Bailloud who com
manded the French forces in China Is above
doubt. 1t was not his fault If the politicians
published certain letters for political purposes
The idea of revenge" added the count. lis no
longer alive in the young generation in France
This young generation recognizes that German
unity which the War of 1870 was designed to
prevent, cannot be reversed. and that Frances
life interests to-day demand the streng thening
civilization of great colonial empire
Continuing, Count WaldeTsee said: The
reserved attitude of many Russian officers dur
irg the China affair showed that the anti-Cier-
man sentiment which cherished in Russia
after the Berlin Congress, was yet ex-
tnguished. Many Russian circles are slow TO
realize the obligations imposed by the stu
alton, but the weight of economic facts and the
necessity for Russia to continue the work begun
in East Asia. these remain important ele-
ment in the shaping. or. rather say. the
tinuanCe, of our good relations with Russia"
