the government, and at that time it was
understood that the department was pre-
pared to go 10 the limit of the law in
making the payments such as not to en-

In case Of war between the United States
and Japan, the Filipinos would strike out
for themselves and demand that they be
allowed to govern their own affairs, in
the opinion of George Curry, the new
governor OF New Mexico, who IS staying
at the Ehbitt House
Gov. Curry has Just come from the
Philippines. where he has been for the
last eight years But, incidentally, Gov
Curry does not believe there is going 10
be any controversy between the two great
nations.
He leaves for his home at Roswell. n
Mex, this morning. and goes from there
TO Santa Fe, where he will assume his
new duties as governor of the Territory
next Thursday. At the close Of the war
between the United States and Spain he
was made the chief of police Of Manila,
and organized the first force of that city.
Since then he has been governor Of three

and Samar.

opinions, as well as any American" Gov.
Curry said TO a Washington Herald re-
porter last night without an exception,
the Filipinos prefer American rule TO that

about this.

this talk. absolutely
IF war should be declared between
Japan and the States the result would
probably be that the Filipinos would de-
clare their independence and fight for
their own country and demand their own
government and control OF the islands,
But, incidentally, l do not believe there
is going to be a conflict.

ton would be postponed until after this
conference. or until after it had been re-

CASTRO TO PAY AMERICANS.
Liquidation of NOnprefeFred Cred
TORS Claims Begins This Month.

A mail report from United States Min
lister Russell at Caracas, received at the
State Department yesterday. confirms the
eabled dispatches 20 the effect that the
payment of the nonpreferred Venezuelan
creditors, among which are number of
American citizens. would begin this
month.
The State Department has no informa-
ton of the reported action Of Rudolph
Dodge. consular agent at Caracas, in pc
titiOning the Venezuelan congress re-
garding ain alleged infraction of one Of
his concessions. and It is supposed that if
the facts are as reported in yesterdays
dispatches, that he acted on his own mi
tiative and as a private citizen.

RESIGNATION IS ACCEPTED.
CONGREGATIONAL Church Regrets Re.
tirement of Rev. w. j. FrizzeII.

The Congregational Church Of the Pill
grims held a business meeting last night
at Maryland avenue and Ninth street
northeast, ar which the resignation of
Rev. w. J. Frizzell. as pastor, was pre-
scented, and accepted with regret. The
letter was read by the clerk, B. Entrikln.
and after the acceptance he was in
structed 20 inform Rev. Mr.. Frizzell ac-
cordingly
Efforts TO take up other important bust
ness or the church developed an amusing
situation, which resulted IN getting all
the members present into an amiable
frame OF mind. and brought about bet
ter feeling than has long prevailed In the
body 1t happened that, aside from the
presiding officer, there was an equal num-
Der Of each Of the factions into which
the church has been divided. Voting
therefore, upon every item Of business
brought forward resulted In a tie and
nothing was accomplished, beyond the
acceptance Of the resignation OF the
pastor.
After several attempts to get a division
upon some subject the task was given up.
ana the end was general handshake and
exchange Of clvilities that came nearer
uniting the membership than ANYTHING
that has happened for several months.

human body. act as generators of
electricity In the miniature batteries
that comprise the muscular struc-
ture OF the human franc He de-
clared that he has succeeded IN the
construction OF batteries on a work.

ment necessary to form the connec-
tion between the batteries and thei
system has been created. IS
