SPANISH SILVER FOR SCHLEY
From the CristObLI Colon to BE
Presented the Admiral.

Baltimore, May 3.-The magnificent
silver service made from silver coins
taken from the Spanish cruiser Cristo-
bal Colon to be presented to Admiral
Winfield Scott Schley by his friends in
Washington and in this state. has been
completed and is on exhibition in the
show windows of the manufacturers in
this city. The service consists of one
centerpiece, one soup tureen and ladle,
one roast platter. one game platter, one
fish platter, nineteen desert plates. Up
on each piece is engraved Admiral
Schley's initials in monogram and
each bears this inscription:
Made of Spanish silver taken from
the Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon,
destroyed in the naval battle off San
tiago de Cuba, July 3, 1898'
The fineness of the silver used was
not interfered with and the metal
therefore has almost the hardness of
steel The weight of the coins used
was about 1900 ounces and at the
present price of silver represents
value of $500, but nearly six times
that amount was required to purchase
the coin from the government.
The presentation of the service will
be made next Wednesday at the home
of Theodore Marburg in this city. who
with ex-Postmaster General James A.
Gary and Ives Cobb of Washington,
comprise the commission in charge of
its manufacture.

roasted and otherwise tortured before
death ensued. Capt. Glenn, in charge
of a scouting party, had first secured
a confession of participation in this
crime by one native who had impli-
Gated twelve others. These were, the
witness said. taken to Leon. where his
company under command of Capt.
Gregg was stationed and there
on Aug. p and again on Aug. %,
1900, the cure was administered.
"Who inflicted the cure?"
Members of Company l."
Were they ordered to do so?"
They were; by First Sergeant Man
ming, who is now in Boston"
Mr.. Hallock added that he had wit
messed the torture, but had not partici-
pated in it, and that while it was in
progress Capt. Gregg was at company
headquarters, less than 100 yards dis
tant.
Did Capt. Gregg know of the tor
ture?" Senator Rawlins asked.
''All the command knew it, and don't
see how he could have helped know
ing it,"
"What was the effect of the punish
ment?"
THE stomach would swell up and in
some cases 1 witnessed blood come
from the mouth
Asked what became of the Philip
pine prisoners to whom the cure was
administered, he replied that they
were placed in a guardhouse, 20 by %
feet in size, in which there was one
window, and in which there were at
times eighteen men confined.
Fleeing Prisoners Killed.
The twelve prisoners We're kept for
four or FIVE months and then they
tried to escape. That effort had been
successful on the part of some of them,
but five or six fleeing prisoners were
shot and killed.
Were all the prisoners who did not
escape killed."
Il think so. with one exception. I
think one was given his liberty"
Mr. Hallock also stated that he had
been present when a village of 5000 or
1000 had been burned and that the
occupants of the houses had not had
time to carry out the furniture.
In reply to other questions, Mr.. Hal
lock said the report was current among
the soldiers that the administration of
the water cure was common when they
desired to secure information from ma
| tives.
Senator Lodge brought out the de-
tails of the murder of Private OHerne
The witness said that in June, 1900,
O'Herne, with two other members of
the company had been sent to Iloilo
for mail and that on their return on
June 80 they were ambushed by 100
natives and O'Herne's companions
captured. OHerne made dash to get
away and after escaping from the at
lacking party had fallen in with other
natives supposed to be friendly, but
that instead of proving to be so they
| had devoted the entire next day to his
torture and death, beginning at day
light by cutting him with bolos and
then roasting him all day by a slow
fire, finishing up until night. All these
/ details had, the witness said, been
gathered from the confessions of the
men to whom they had given the cure.
Replying to other questions, he said
he had not known any one to die under
the water cure.
The committee decided not to re-
! quest the appearance Of Maj Gardener

| ippines.

MAJ. GARDENER IN A HOLE.
Looks as If He May Not BE Able to
Substantiate His Charges.


Washington, May "a cablegram
has been received at the War Depart
ment from Gen. Chaffee, replying to
Secretary Roots message regarding in
vestigation of Maj. Gardeners charges.
Following is an extract from the mes
sage:
"Adjutant General Washington:
With reference to your telegram of the
first. Maj. Gardener has filed few
specifications, very general in char
acter and practically paragraphing
his report. In one instance he gives
the name of an officer. The board con-
sists of Col. Theodore J. Whit, Lieut..
Col. Joseph w. Duncan and Capt.
William T. Johnson, sitting
at Lucena, under instructions
to afford Maj. Gardener full
opportunity to substantiate every al
legation. Maj. Gardener has telegra PHI
ed Luke r. Wright that investigation
has developed into attack on him, and
has asked for counsel. First Lieutenant
Trent has been authorized to aid him.
Whit has been directed to afford
Maj. Gardener very opportunity. The
following is his reply.
"'Capt. Harry B. Bondholtz, govern
or, has since yesterday acted counsel
for Maj. Gardener who up to the pres
ent declines to furnish names 2. any
witnesses to board He has brought
several witnesses, but so far his pro-
cedure indicates he does not desire full
investigation as ordered. Board has
had no desire to attack Maj. Gardener,
but is pursuing rigid investigation of
his allegation, irrespective of what he
wishes, and will not permit him to
shape or dictate the course of the in
vestigation.'
think any objection Maj. Gardener
lays in fact that the board desires to
test the accuracy of his information
and the condition of Tayabas when
he was governor. Some time must
necessarily elapse before the report is
completed. Probably many witnesses
to be examined"
The secretary of war transmitted
this message to Senator Lodge, chair
man of the Philippine Committee, with
a copy of a cablegram sent by him to-
day to Gen. Chaffee in response
to the latter's message, as follows:
Gable in full Mai. Gardeners spec
ifications. Your directions to afford
Gardener every opportunity are APP
proved Board should be specifically
enjoined not to permit the proceeding
to assume a character giving the least
color TO a claim that there is an at
tack on him or allow it to be in any
way direvted from a full and fair in
vestigation of the truth of his
charges"

MAY ORDER COAL STRIKE.
Operators Have Refused to Make
Any Concessions whatever, Says
President Mitchell.

Any Concessions whatever, Says
President Mitchell.
New York, May 3.-President John
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
of America gave out the following
statement concerning the secret con-
ference between his organization. and
the coal operators.
The subcommittee of operators and
miners selected by the Industrial
branch Of the National Civic Fedora
ton. failed to reach an agreement upon
any of the important issues embodied
in the miners scale adopted by the
Shamokin convention
The executive committee of the
three anthracite coal districts of the
United Mine Workers of America, in
whom is vested the authority to inaug-
urate strike, have been notified to
assemble at Scranton, Pa, at 10 a. m
Wednesday, May Z. This committee
consists of 2S members appointed from
the three districts and should a ma
Jorlty OF them vote in favor of a
strike the entire $4,000 mine workers
Will respond to the CALL"
Mr.. Mitchell said that the operators
had refused to grant any concessio
whatsoever to the men. They would
not agree that wages should be raised.
that work hours should be reduced or
that coal should be weighed at the pit
mouth.
1t was suggested to Mr.. Mitchell
that 1t looked very much as if a strike
was imminent
We'll" he replied, cit looks very
threatening"
There are in the miners organiza-
ton about $4,000 anthracite coal min
ers, who will be affected if a strike is
declared. There are also about 300. 600
soft coal miners, many of whom belong
to the union, and who could be induced
to join the anthracite miners, should
there be a strike. Whether that will
be done, Mr.. Mitchell said he could not

Berlin. May 3.-John D. Rockefeller,
it is understood, is behind the Virginia.
Carolina Chemical Company's designs
on the German potash fields. While
Messrs. T. Morgan, c. D. Crenshaw
and E. c. Sputsbury are the only
Americans taking part in the confer
enees which are being held daily at
the Hotel Bristol with the members of
the German potash syndicate, Peter B.
Bradley and S. F. Gibbons, represent
ing Mr.. Rockefeller are at the same
hotel waiting for the outcome of the
negotiations and prepared to finance
the project. Mr.. Bradley, in behalf
of himself and Mr.. Gibbons, firmly de-
MES that they are here for any such
purpose, but the potash syndicate peo-
pie of Stassfurt have been so Informed.
Messrs Crenshaw and Sputsbury,
when they approached the heads of
the syndicate several weeks ago, were
repealed After the Americans had ac-
quired options on several outside works
indicating a serious purpose to break
into the industry, the members of the
syndicate invited them to come to
Strassfurt again.
Mr.. Morgan wired Thursday to the
syndicate members saying that if they
wanted to see him they must come to
Berlin. Two members of the Syndi-
cate appeared yesterday and had a
long talk with him. The indications
are that the syndicate can be broken
up at the termination of the present
agreement. in 1905. The ownership of
the syndicate properties is widely dis
tributed and buying control of the
properties is likely to require months
and capital exceeding $50,000.000. The
only thing which may cause the Amer
leans withdrawal from the attempt is
that some of the properties operated
by the syndicate belong to the Prus-
sian treasury, which is also the owner
of large unworked properties. The
Americans must secure lease of these
for long terms if they wish to dominate
the industry

the Courts VIII Divide the Estate.
New Haven, Conn. May 3.-The an
nouncement was made to-day that the
transfer of the estate of the late Hen
ry B. Plant, amounting to $4,000, 600
or S20,0OO,O0O from Connecticut to New
York court, will be vigorously opposed
by Horace G. and Charles e. Hoadley
of Waterbury. Conn, sons of the late
Horace p. Hoadley OF this city, who
was a half brother of the dead mill
lionaire.
The case comes up next Monday.
Counsel for the Hoadleys will oppose
the transfer on the ground that the
will of Henry Bradley Plant. If execu-
ted here, will hold the entire property
in trust until the unborn grandson OF
the testator shall have attained his
majority, and because of the alleged
fact that if the widow and Morton
Plant and his son should die the will
would be void and the HoadIeys
would become legal heirs to the mil
lionaire.
On the other hand, it is alleged that
if the transfer is made to New York
the courts there will not recognize the
will and will divide the estate, giving
one-third to the widow and two-thirds
to Morton F. Plant.
Besides contesting the proposed
transfer, Col. Lucien F. Burpee of
Waterbury, who represents the con-
testants, has brought injunction pro-
ceedings to restrain temporarily the
local court from authorizing the release
of the funds. This injunction has been
issued by Judge Robinson of the Hart
ford Superior Court.
