CHINESE WANT OPEN DOOR.
Win Probably Decline TO Sign Any Exclusion
Treaty.

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaI Some
doubt is expressed in official circles
whether it will be possible to obtain
China's consent to another treaty with
the United States providing for even
the exclusion of Chinese laborers from
this country.
The State Department is aware of the
i'll feeling throughout China on the whole
subject and now that the immigration
treaty with China has been allowed to
lapse without the negotiation of a new
agreement reports have reached here
that China is inclined hereafter to refuse
to sign any similar convention.
China's position appears to be tha,
the exclusion of Chinese citizens from a
friendly country is in itself disgrace,
and while she cannot ignore the laws OF
a foreign power providing for such ex-
clusion she can refuse to sanction it or
become part of it by concluding a treaty
involving such restrictions. A year ago,
il is said, il would have been easy 10
conduct negotiations with China for the
exclusion Of Chinese laborers only. Now,
however, it is understood, the Chinese
officials are disposed to regard the sign
ing OF such treaty beneath the dig
nifty Of their Government.
The reason for the assumption at Pc
kin OF this new attitude is not quite clear
10 the officials here though in some cir
cles it was attributed to the influence
of foreign powers.

Forced to Make an IuerImlsating Confession

OF Fillplnos Who Had Been Mutilsted.

Manila (By Cable) Emilio Aguinal-
do, looking impressive and describing
himself as a farmer, and not noticing
a packed courtroom beyond nodding to
few friends, testified in the Renaci-
mento libel case. This is the case in
which three editors of the Renacimento,
the most influential of the Filipino or
gans. were arrested on the charge of
libelling Captain Baker, of the constab-
ulary, whom they charged with cruelty
in the Cavite campaign
Aguinaldo testified that a constabu-
larry officer visited his farm and COM
PEELED him to go TO headquarters, where
he was urged to influence Felizardo and
Montolon, two Ladrone leaders, to sur
render. He refused to do so, alleging
that he had no influence with the La
drones. Thereupon Captain Baker swore
at him and insulted him. He said he
knew OF several constabulary outrages
He said that Ladronism is steadily di-
minishing.
Prosecuting Attorney Smith cross
examined Aguinado. The former rebel
leader became pitifully ratified He
abandoned his attempt to speak in Span
ish and testified in the Tagalog dialect,
through an interpreter. He reiterated
weakly the statement that he was lead
ing retired life as an example TO his
countrymen, but was forced to admit
that he had been familiar with the raids
Of Feizardo and Montolon, which, he
deliberately said, could not be assigned TO
the restoration of peace.
Just at this time Aguinado was dra-
maticaly and suddenly confronted with
FIVE horribly tortured Flipinos who had
been rescued and succored by the con-
stabulary One of these, 73 years of
age, had had his tongue sliced, one had
been hamstrung, two others had been
hamstrung and their lips hideously cut
up, and one had his legs hacked off by
the Cavite Ladrones. This created an
| extraordinary sensation.
Hundreds Of people crowded the
courtroom for half the day waiting for
and afterward listening to the testi-
money of Aguinaldo.

tins numbered nearly twoscore. Five
people were killed outright, and % were
injured, all Of them being knocked
senseess. Eight OF those rendered un-

TO be removed to the hospital
The storm struck Coney Island about
4.3o p. NJ. The clouds were 80 dense
that II seemed as though darkness was
about TO fall. The lightning flashed in
cessantly, and there were terrific peals
Of thunder.
The day had been pleasant up to early
in the afternoon, and large crowds were
disporting themselves in the surf or
watching the bathers. The Boardwalk
was crowded. and when the rain began
to descend there was a quick rush 10
shelter. A large number of bathers and
spectators were driven under the Board
walk in front of the Parkway baths.
The walk at this point is about eight
feet high.
Several people were under the walk,
clustered about or near large fiagpole,
which goes through the Boardwalk and
has about six feet of its base in the
sand. The bolt of lightning struck the
top of the pole, shattering it and going
down seemed IN hurst with a terrific.

Island Emergency Hospital. The spot
where the bolt struck looked like a
battlefield The dead and injured still
and white, or gasping and twitching, lay
scattered in every direction, while those
who were uninjured were shouting and
screaming Historically. The rain was
descending in torrents and the lightning
and thunder kept up their flash and
roar, adding to the terrors of the scene.
1t was a long time before any OF those
uninjured were able to collect them
selves and give the alarm. 1t seemed
hours before help came in the shape OF
police and ambulances. The dead and
injured were gathered up quickly and
taken away.
