cavalry at Lipa, province of Batangas.
Lot was brought in sick on litter.
He was cordially hated at Lipa, where
he looted $4,000 worth of jewelry
from prominent families. Nickerson's

NEWS is DISAPPOINTING.
Miss Stone and Nine. Tsilka Have Not
Yet Been Released.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The state de-
partment has received dispatch from
the United States representative in
Turkey regarding the case of Miss
Ellen M. Stone, the American mission
airy held by brigands and her compan-
ion, Nine. Tsilka. It's contents were
disappointing, the captives not having
been released, as was hoped would be
the case from the manner in which the
negotiations looking to that end had
been progressing lately. Officials are
averse to discussing the case freely,
but it is understood the hesitation of
the brigands in bringing the matter
to a prompt conclusion is due to their
distrust of the attitude assumed by
the Turkish authorities. The ransom
money demanded has not yet been
paid: The state department will con-
tinue to exert every effort to secure
the release of the women, but imme-
date prospects are less reassuring.

that Porto Rico opposed the reduction
of duty to Cuba as likely to be- a
menace to Porto Rico sugar exports.
Already Cuba had placed a $12 duty
on Porto Rico coffee, thus injuring
that trade, so reliance was now placed
in a continuance of the sugar trade.

Prominent islanders Sending Appeals
for Tariff Concessions:
Washington, Jan. 29.-The secre-
tary of war continues to receive cable
messages from native officials, plant
ers and merchants of Cuba appealing
to him to use his best endeavors to
secure tariff concessions on Cuban
sugar and tobacco. Messages were re-
ceived during the day from the may
ors of the principal cities of Cuba,
from the members of the supreme
court, from judges of Havana and
from leading planters. Chief Justice
Cruz Perez of the supreme court of
Cuba cabled:
"The members of the supreme court
desire to state that the economic con-
dition Of Cuba is disastrous. Ruin
imminent unless there is reduction
on sugar and tobacco"
The general tenor of all the appeals
was that tariff concessions was a
question of life or death to Cuba and
that failure to make them meant ruin,
misery and bankruptcy for the island.

press made her formal debut before

throne in the main audience chamber,

The fiction of recognizing the en-

The policy of recognizing the dow

has gained ground among the foreign
ministers since the return of the court.
The ceremony would have met with
objections. a month ago. The en-
peror's incapacity is so clearly demon
strated by all the reports from the
palace that all those ministers who
formerly advocated that the emperor

to accommodate the largest vessels is
then to be constructed under the SUI

to the address in reply to the speech
from the throne at the opening of par
lament, proposed by H. Seton-Ka
Conservative regarding the old-time
question of the food supply in war
time, saying that the subject was
threadbare and that so long as the
United Kingdom retained the COM
mand of the seas it was quite sufficient
to depend on the ordinary operations
Of supply and demand. A system of
national granaries would necessitate
an outlay of G30,O00,0O0. He added
that war risks ought not to entail a
rise of more than 10 per cent in the
price of cereals. The government, Mr..
Balfour said, saw no reason to appoint
a committee of inquiry on the subject.
