GEN. BELL SPEAKS.
He Says Our Army Should Not he Ale
lowed to Rest Under a Stigma,

Southampton, England, April 60
Gen. j. Franklin Bell, U. S. ~, who
is on his way home from the Philip
pines, was shown the cabled digests
of the report of Lieut.. Gen. Miles. He
said to a representative of the press:
81 must decline to make any COM
ment on the statement further than
to remark that all complaints made
to Gen. Miles while he was in the
Philippines have been investigated by
the war department. In the ordinary
course of events these reports of in
vestigations probably have been for
warded to Washington"
When asked if he did not wish to
falsity of the accusations, or of the
complaints of occurrences in Batan-
gas province, Luzon, while he was in
command there, Gen. Bell replied:
81 would greatly regret to have the
American people believe that any
American officers or soldiers had been
wantonly cruel or inhuman in their
treatment of natives. However, L
have said in official reports all 1 care
to say on that subject. L do not be-
lieve that anything 1 can say unofli-
cially will change any ones opinion;
nothing certainly would make any
one who served creditably in the Phil
ippines think that the conduct of the
American army has been character
lied by cruelty, nor could l change
the opinion of any one who wished to
believe the contrary" -

VIII Sell Turtle Island.

Toledo. April 2s.-owing to the COM
pletion of a new light in Maumee bay,
the government has decided to sell
Turtle island and to abandon the light
that has served as beacon to marin
ers for 20 years. The island contains
about an acre of ground, and the COM
merce of the lake passes it. 1t will
probably be purchased for summer
home, and the lighthouse there is
capable of being turned into n pictur-
esque residence, Turtle light was
established in 1881, and the light has
never failed to shine a night since.
The island and the light were named
after Little Turtle, whose wigwam
was under the elms of Presque isle,
and who was one of the signers of the
treaty of Greenville.

RIOTS IN FRANCE.
Dispersal OF the Congregations Leads
10 Serious Disturbances.

Paris, April 2S.-Crowds made dem
onstrations at different points yester-
day over the dispersal of the congre-
cations. At Marseilles the Capuchins
barricaded themselves within their con-
vent and refused admission to the Off
cials. A crowd numbering several
thousand persons filled the streets in
the vicinity and during counter dem
onstration stones were thrown at the
convent. The police had difficulty in
restoring order. The Benedictines at
Landerneau, who caused trouble, were
dispersed and the officials locked up
their convent.
The latest dispatches from the prov
inces indicate that the trouble attend
ing the dispersions of the congrega-
tions is becoming more serious
The disturbances at Marseiilles
around the Capuchin convent broke out
again with much violence, owing to the
attempt Of a party of Oblate fathers
to visit the barricaded convent. The
sight of the visitors aroused the anger
of the opponents of the congregations
and an attack was made. Clericals has
tened to the assistance of the fathers
and a pitched battle between the two
parties followed. Sticks and stones
were used freely and injuries were In
fiicted upon many persons, among
whom were two women, while on-look-
ers from windows Joined in the fray
by throwing all kinds of missiles.
The police finally rescued the Oblate
fathers and the fighting ceased. A
crowd of 5000 persons, however, re-
mained in the neighborhood of the
convent expressing itself for and
against the monks until dark. when
the police at last succeeded in diSperS-
ing it.
The monks at La Roche-Sur- -Foron
were arrested. A strong force of in
fantry and cavalry surrounded the
monastery and held the crowd of angry
peasants in check while the door of
the building was battered in. The
monks offered no further resistance
and were placed in prison at Bonne-

Necessity for the Construction of Better
Highways Is Urgent.

st. Louis, April 29.-The second
days session of the national and in
ternational good roads convention
opened with better attendance than

and a National Highway"

government.
Sam Hill, brother of President
James j. Hill, of the Great Northern
Railway Co., and president of the
Washington Good Roads association,
told of the vast amount of business
that is being done with the Orient

only sure way of building it up and
holding it from all competitors was
to improve the highways contiguous
to water and rail lines.
Col. w. j. Bryan spoke at the aft
ernoon session and received an ova-
tion.
Gen. Roy Stone, chief engineer of
the Union Terminal Co., of New
York, a pioneer in the movement,
presented strong paper in favor of
highway improvement. He took the
stand that national aid is essential
in securing this end. He told what
had been done since 1900 and out
lined detailed plan for extending
the work. Gen. Stone closed as fol-
lows:
"Good roads are coming, whether
by easy ways or hard. Federal aid is
in the air, our younger statesmen
are eager to promote it and the old
est no longer have the cold shivers
when it is mentioned. 1t has reached

KNOCKED 1T OUT
The Curative Act Is Declared Invalid
by the Superior Court

Cincinnati, April 20.-The superior
court judges on Tuesday knocked out
the curative law, which was included
in the municipal law, passed by the
last special session of the Legislature
in an effort to save the 5O-year fran
chse granted to the Cincinnati Street
Railway Co. under the Rogers law in,
1896. The court also Knocked out the
one-year statute of limitations for
suits to test public franchises and
contracts. This was also a part of
the municipal code law. They hold
that both the curative law and the
statute of limitations are unconstitu-
tional. i n A3&
The decision affects every street
car line in Cincinnati, as it means the
entire 50-year franchise granted the
Cincinnati Street Railway Co.. and by
it leased to the Cincinnati Traction
Co. is invalid.
The decision was rendered in the
suit of Attorney Theodore Horstman
as taxpayer to enjoin the Cincin-
natl Street Railroad Co. from operat-'
ing the John street car line.
The same questions are involved in
another suit of Horstman's to enjoin
the operation of all the other car
lines in Cincinnati. The John street.
line case is the test case.
