SPEAKS FROM EXPERIENCE.
Former American Officer Given the
Water Cure by Filipinos.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 24.-Charles
E. James, formerly first lieutenant of
the Thirty-sixth regiment, U. S. ",
who is now 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
untruthful and exaggerated reports
which magnify the cruelty of the op-
Grafton.

know what it is, since it was admin
istered by. the Filipinos," said Lieuten-
ant James. II have seen it administer
ed to several hundred natives and
know its effects. In the first place, let
me state that I never knew of the
water cure killing victim.
My own experience took place in
June, 1900, when three of us were cap
tured and taken into the mountains
where we were introduced to the wa
ter cure by natives called 'tubig.'

stomach and the accompanying pain
is all there is to it. |. strangled once.
but one quick cough ended it. The cure
is not pleasant. but would rather take
it than receive a beating. My COM

President-EIect

New York, April 24.-President-
elect Palma was greeted at Holguin,
Cuba, by 5000 natives, says dispatch
from that city to The Tribune. Three
bands led the march to the city hall.
The presidents carriage was followed
for the two miles by the impetuous
populace. Three pretty girls, carrying
a banner and wearing liberty caps,
came directly behind the American
troops, which acted as an escort. At
the plaza, where the government build
ing is situated, there were half a dozen
more bands. The square was beauti-
fully decorated and Illuminated, and
pictures of the president-elect were
everywhere. AS he approached all the
bands played and 1000 school children
sang the Cuban hymns. keeping time
with American and Cuban flags.
Speeches by Mayor Ronda, General
Palma and Senor Quesada followed
these exercises, and then the Palma
party was entertained at an informal
dinner. ..
General Palma occupied at night the
same room in which, 25 years ago, he
was a prisoner. The present city hall
was at that time the palace of General
Morales OF the Spanish army.

HEAVY FALL OF SNOW.
Large Section of the Northwest Thor.
oUghly Covered.

OOSFty SOsCtCO.
st. Psul, April 24.-Tuesday's storm
put an e,; to the drought for the pres
ent. The Northwest storm extended
from the Great Lakes region to Color
ado in a southwesterly direction and
extending north into Manitoba and as
far west as the Rocky mountains.
Snow prevailed over the northern half
Of the storm area, covering the ground
for a depth Of from 5 to 80 inches.
The snow was preceded by rain, thun-
der storms and high wind. The south
ern portion of the storm area received
general rain, accompanied by high
wind, in some localities reaching the
proportions of a tornado.
Wednesday morning the tempera-
ture had fallen from so to 60 degrees
below the record for the previous 4S
hours. While this storm will be of
great value to the farmers in the local
tiles where drought was beginning to
be feared, it must necessarily delay
plowing and seeding in Northern Min
nesota, North Dakota and other Sec
tions CT the country where the land
was really suffering from too much
moisture.

Police and the Mobs Clash and the
the Former are Compelled to
Use Firearms.

Paterson, N. j., April 24.-Because
of the rioting Tuesday evening, which
followed the strike of dyers' helpers at
several silk dyeing works here, the en-
tire police force is on duty in anticipa-
ton OF renewal Of the disturbances.
The strikers held meeting at Riv-
erside during the morning and after it
was over large body of men marched
to Hawthorne, which is just outside
the limits Of the city. Here are locat-
ed the works Of the American Silk
Dyeing and Finishing company. This
plant was the objective point of the
mob and they made an immediate at
tack on the works. AS the plant is
outside the city limits there was no po-
lice guard. The rioters charged into
the mill and drove out all the men at
work They turned on the steam and
directed it against the fleeing work
men. a number of whom were badly
scalded. George Arnold, member Of
the firm, was in his Office when the
mob entered the works. He started
to see what the trouble was when he
was attacked on all sides and badly

him from the mob.
Shortly after noon there was a
clash between the crowd of men and
the police at Emit Georing's dyehouse.
AS the employees of the dyehouse left
the establishment for their luncheon
the crowd made charge on the build
ing and tried to force way through
the main entrance. The police on
guard drove back the mob with their
| clubs: but there was a second charge
| and this time the attacking party fought
| SO desperately that the police were
compelled TO shoot. At this the mob
broke and fed. During the fight two
policemen were badly injured on the
head by stones. The police intended
to fire over the heads of the strikers.
but is is said one of the mob was
wounded.
At the same time that the attack
was made on the Gering dyehouse
there was riotous demonstration at
! the dyehouse of Knipscher & Mas.
| There was a hard fight between a
| large body of men and detail of po-
| lice. The police had to send for rein

rioters were dispersed. No shots
were fred at this affray.

THE M0ROS EXPEDITION
Statement Of the Presidents Instruc-
tions in the Expedition Against
the Moros.
General Chaffee Told to Use all Hon
orable Means to Secure Men
Wanted without Force.
After Friendly Methods are Exhausted
the Commanding Officer May
Use Judgment.

Washington, April 24-The war de-
partment has made public the tele-
graphic cable correspondence which
has taken place up to date respecting
the Moro outbreak in Mindanao. The
important feature OF the correspond
ence is the closing chapter, showing
that General Davis expedition is not
arbitrarily stopped, but that General
Chaffee is allowed to exercise his dis
cretion. 1t is believed that the pres.
ence OF Governor Taft in Washington
is the explanation of the presidents
direction that General Chaffee shall
confer with the acting head of the
Philippine commission before adopting
hostile tactics.
The correspondence begins with the
cablegram given out last week dated
Manila, April Is, in which General
Chaffee recites the killing of the first
American soldier, near Malabang, and
the forming of an expedition under
Baldwin to arrest the murderers. In
answer to this the following dispatch
was sent:
"Expedition ordered under Baldwin
will not leave coast until you hear
from here. This will not, however, in
terfere with complete separation"
On April % the following cablegram
was sent General Chaffee:
"The president is anxious that nc
expedition be made against Moros un
til all efforts by negotiations have
been exhausted. To this end he desires
that you confer freely with the acting
civil governor. In the event the force
has to be sent he directs that it &C
| under the immediate command of Gen
eral Davis. The president will give
you all support, but desires exercise
of great care and prudence. If posi-
! BILE, avoid by all honorable means gen
eral war"
General Chaffee responded to thu
! last cablegram in dispatch stating
that to withdraw all the American
forces woulu ruin our prestige; tt
! withdraw part of the forces would be
| dangerous.
To this statement the following re
sponse was made:
Your cable has been submitted by
acting secretary OF war to the presi
dent, who directs that you keep il
mind the presidents orders. but, o.
course, DO nothing that will impair
our prestige or in any way imperil the
army. If after the expiration of the
time named in your proclamation ant
after all possible diplomatic ant
friendly methods have been exhausted
your demand for the Moro murderers
has not been met, you will act upor
the lines that, in your judgment, viii
best serve to bring peace and order il
| the Island of Mindanao"

TAX LAW IS No GOOD
Law Reviving Provisions of Former
+. Woods Bill Knocked out as
Special Legislation.
Court Holds that Special Legislation
OF this Kind will not Stand
the Test.
Case Decided Appealed from the Dis
trict Court of Cass County to
Prevent Sale.


which aimed to give those counties that
had not taken advantage of the plovis-
ions of the Woods bill for the collection
of delinquent taxes by tax judgment
and sale, opportunity to act under the
old law has been held unconstitu-
tional by the supreme court in a decis-
ion filed in the case of Jennie B. An
gell VS.. Cass county and T. Twichell as
sheriff. The plaintiff in this action
brought an action to enjoin the sheriff
from making sale of real estate under
tax judgments taken under this law,
and in the lower court the law was up
held. The supreme court knocks out
the law as special legislation, and the
syllabus of the opinion is as follows:
Chapter 161, laws of 1901, construed
and Held that the same is not general
law, but is, on the contrary, special
law for the collection of taxes on cer-
only, and as such is void because in
conflict with subdivision %, of section
SO, of the state constitution, which pro-
hibits the Legislative assembly from
passing any local or special laws ''for
the assessment or collection of taxes"
The Legislative assembly may prop
erly classify and group subjects for
purposes of methodical legislation, burt
when this is done all the objects of the
law within the state, which are situ-
ated in like conditions and circum-
stances, must be embraced within the
purview of the law and be governed by
the same, and when part of such OBJ
jects are excluded from the operation
of the law the same becomes obnoxious
as special Legislation.
For reasons stated in the opinion
the legislative assembly in attempting
to make classification of the territory
within the state by counties for the
purpose of collecting taxes upon GER
tain real estate therein, (Which at
tempted classification included some
counties and excluded others), did SO
arbitrarily and upon no substantial
ground or necessity which called for
or justified such classification. The
effect of such attempted classification
was to legislate specially for the COL
| lection of taxes on lands included with
| in certain counties and at the same
time exclude from the operation of the
law other lands in like circumstances
and conditions with respect to unpaid
taxes for the same years.
Held, further, that the various parts
of the law, (Chap. 16I, are interde-
4 pendent and those features of the en-
| actment which are not unconstitutional
cannot be divorced from those which
violate the constitution and hence nc
part of the law can be upheld
