Belgrade, Servia, March 5.-An ex-
traordinary attempt to start revolu-
tion was made this morning at the
frontier town of Shabab, by raid un-
der the leadership of Alavantics, a rel
ative of Prince Karageorgevich, the
pretender to the Servian throne. LA
vantics was killed and his adherents
were arrested.
Alavantics, with handful of follow
ers, arrived at Shabab from Mitrowicz,
wearing the uniform of general of
the Servian army and called to the
frontier guard to follow him. The lat
ter, not suspecting anything wrong, ac-
companied the general to the town
hail. where Alavantics ordered the fire
department to join him. This motley
procession proceeded to the gendarm-
erie barracks, where Alavantics parad-
ed the gendarmes. Two of the latter,
however, whose suspicious were
aroused, escaped and apprised their
commander, Captain Nickolics. The
latter, when he arrived, called on Ala
vantics to produce some document as
authority for his actions, whereupon
the would-be revolutionist leader fired
a revolver at Captain Nikolics, slightly
wounding him. Nikolics promptly shot
Alavantics, whose followers were then
arrested

of questions by Senator Paterson and
other minority members of the senate
committee on the Philippines in the
course of his testimony before that
committee today. In reply he said the
Filipino forces would have been OF but
little assistance If it had been neces-
sary to capture Manila from the
Spaniards by assault. The capture of
that city was by pre-arrangement be-
tween General Merritt, Admiral Dewey
and the Spanish commander, was 1t

Il know nothing about that,' re-
sponded General Hughes.
las a military man, what is your
belief, founded upon your conversation
with your superiors?" Paterson then
asked.
Senator Beveridge insisted that the
question was not proper, but Senator
Paterson insisted that it was.
II don't think ought to answer that
question" said General Hughes. The
witness said the Filipinos never have
been considered a fighting force in the
operations against the Spanish forces
The chaplain of the house, in his in
vocation today referred feelingly 10
the death of Representative Polk, OF
Pennsylvania, which occurred sudden
ly at Philadelphia last night.
The conference report upon the pen
sion appropriation bill was called up
by Mr.. Barney, of Wisconsin. After a

to and the bill sent to conference. The
house resumed consideration of the
bill to classify rural free delivery ser
vice and place carriers under the con-
tract system.
The senate began the consideration
of the bill making appropriations for
legislative. executive and judicial ex-
penses. The bill was passed without
division and the shipping bill was laid
before the senate. Mr.. Clay, of Georgia,
delivered speech in opposition to the
measure.

marans and Vessels. the Boer repre-
sentatives who came to the United
States from Europe for the purpose of
comforting with the secretary of state,
were received by Mr.. Hay this morn
ing as private citizens, and not in their
official capacity. The principal object
of the delegates was to induce the
United States government to do some
thing to terminate the struggle in
South Africa. They were not very spe-
cific as to what they wanted and ap-
parently would be satisfied with SIM
pie tender of good offices on the part
of the United States. Secretary Hay
heard them attentively and promised
to consider their representations and
do whatever he could to ameliorate the
conditions in South Africa. Later
Messrs. Wolmarans and Vessels, ac-
companied by DR.. Frederick Mueller,
of the Orange Free State. were receiv-
ed by President Roosevelt and remain
ed with him about fifteen minutes.
Roosevelt listened attentively to what
they had to say and informed them
that this government will not interfere
in the struggle.
