IN BEHALF OF NEGROES.
Address Issued by the AfrO-American
Councils Executive Committee.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The executive
committee of the National Afro-American
Council in session here to-day passed a
resolution urging confirmation by the Sem
ate of the nomination of DR.. w. d. Crum
to be collector of customs at Charleston.
s. c.. and adopted address to the coun-
try on the race question in general. The
address is signed by Alexander Walters,
chairman of the executive committee. Cyrus
Field Adams, secretary. and William A.
Plcdger. acting president. National Afro
American Council. The address denounces
mob law. the disfranchisement OF negroes
in the South and other wrongs and appeals
to Congress for favorable action on one of
the several measures now before it for the
appointment of commission to inquire into
the condition OF Afro-Americans of the
country. The address concludes:
I'VE heartily indorse the deliverances of
President Roosevelt with reference TO the
fitness for appointment TO office and the
attitude of the federal government to-
wards all of its citizens. regardless of
race or character. He has impaired new
life and vigor to the time-honored principles
and traditions of human rights, and has
given hope and inspiration to a people
struggling heroically beneath the burden
of hate and prescription. We commend
Theodore Roosevelt to the affection and
confidence OF our people regardless of party
afdliation."

THREE AMERICANS SLAIN
VOLUNTEER FORCE DEFEATED BY
LADRONEs In ZABALEs.
Philippine Robbers Were Numerous
and Surrounded and BolOed Their
Victims, Who Died Fighting.

MANILA, Jan. 26.-It is reported here
that the volunteer force organized at Bo-
linao, province of Zambalos, for the pur-
pose of dispensing the ladrones in that vi
cinity has been defeated, and that three
Americans, including Mr.. Osborne, a teach
er, were killed. The ladrones outnumbered
the volunteers, surrounded the latter and
boloed them The Americans died fighting.
The details of the affair obtainable at pres
ent are meager.
The decline in the value of silver has
forced the Philippine government to lower
the Official rate. The new ratio is s2.61 silver
for 81 gold, the lowest official rate ever de-
clared. 1t represents a heavy loss to the
insular treasury, and the commercial
houses fear that further declines will result
in commercial disaster. The report that
the houses of Congress disagree on the cur
rency question have had disquieting effect
here.
1t is expected the question of the posses
sion of church property in the Philippines
will reach the courts shortly. The Roman
Catholics have applied to the Supreme
Court for an injunction to restrain the Agli-
pay factions from 'defling the church, in
Rizale province. The Supreme Court denied
the application owing to lack of jurisdic-
ton, and said the Rizale courts were COM
petent to decide the matter. 1t is expected
that an application for an injunction will be
made there.

RELIEF IN LONDON.
BritOns Glad to Escape. from an Em-
barrassing situation.

LONDON. Jan. H.-The morning papers
to-day express the greatest relief at the
prospect of a settlement of the Venezuelan
trouble as enabling Great Britain to escape
from an embarrassing situation. Some
difficulties are anticipated over the details
OF the financial arrangement but the great
est confidence Is expressed in Minister
Bowen's ability TO surmount them with the
influence of the United States government.
The British government is frankly exhort-
ed by Its organs to learn a lesson for the
future that unnecessary alliances are al
most as bad unnecessary wars. The
rumor published from Washington that
Great Britain has notified the United States
government that she will cease TO act with
Germany from to-day is discredited here

POINTS STILL AT ISSUE.
Situation Viewed at BerIin-The
Alliance to End Soon.

BERLIN, Jan. 26.-The guarantee offered
portion of the customs receipts of Laguayra
and perhaps of several other ports. The
proposal was first made to Great Britain,
which Professionally accepted ii, and then
to Germany which accepted ii in principle
on Saturday. The allies are now engaged
in examining the value of the guarantee
offered and are negotiating details like the
form of payment. A question which is be-
ing considered is whether the allies shall
establish an international commission for
receiving the customs, or whether some
neutral agent shall be appointed receiver.
If the latter course is decided upon il is
believed that some American authority will
be chosen, perhaps Mr.. Bowen. The pro-
posal contemplates dividing the allies
claims into three grades and that each
be treated separately and in proportion to
their validity.
Ii is still believed here that all the mat
ters in dispute will be satisfactorily ar
ranged at Washington, without resorting
to The Hague arbitration court
1t Is explained here that Great Britain s
acceptance was forwarded to Washington
first because Mr.. Bowen submitted his pro-
posal to Ambassador Herbert before seeing
Count Quadt, the German charge affaires
Italy's attitude Is to accept any arrange
ment agreeable to Great Britain and Ger
many. AS soon as the guarantee for the
payment of the first-grade claims is dis
posed of the negotiations for the settle
ment of the remainder Will proceed with
each power Independently.
The alliance between Great Britain and
Germany may be considered to be definite
ly ended as soon as the guarantee is signed
and the consequent raising of the blockade
occurs.
The German cruisers Vineta and Fake
left Curacao on Friday, and therefore,
the Navy Department is not in cOmmunica-
ton with Commodore Scheder. But it is
understood the German naval agent at
Curacao will be kept advised of the prog
ress of the peace negotiations.
