gent army and only escaped trial for the
murder Of Spanish officer by the general
amnesty proclamation. He is the man
whose incendiary speeches during his cam
palgn aroused the Americans and Spaniards
Of the city to such an extent that protest
was made by the Spanish consul general
to Governor General Smith as the result OF
Villas public declaration that In the event
of another revolution he would advocate
the slaughter of all Spaniards on the
islands. Governor Smith replied that these
statements had no weight as villa held nc
office.
Diokno is a lawyer and the leader Of the

Travelling at Rate of Thirty
Six Miles
Hour.
Hour.

LEAfANS. France Aug A-This evening
Wilbur Wright of. Dayton. o., made the
longest and most successful flight of the
series of aeroplane trials which he has
been conducting here remaining in the air
three minutes and forty-four seconds. The
machine circled the field three times at the
rate of thirty-six miles an hour. On pass
ing a grandstand Mr. Wright gracefully
descended until within speaking distance
of the spectators, who applauded the ex-
hibltion of mastery of the aeroplane, after
which he scared like a bird to new heights
and continued his flight until reaching the
starting point, where he gently landed.
PARIS, Aug. 1.-THE French papers and
the aeronautic experts, besides extollng tn 2
Wright Brothers aeroplane, devote much
space to picturing with French art the per-
sonality of Wilbur Wright.
This man." says Frarz Reichel in the
Figaro, lis strange and cold, but Of a cold
ness that is smiling and sympathetic. He
is tall, thin, severe-a man that is tempered
like steel. The countenance is remarkable,
curious, the head that Of a bird, long and
bony and with a lorg nose. The face is
smooth shaven and tanned by the winds
and the country sun. The eye is a superb
blue-gray with tints of gold; honorable.
gentle, resolute and intelligent. Those
golden glnts bespeak an ardent flame, for
Wilbur Wright is a fanatic"
As evident of the interest that is being
taken In Mr.. Wrights experiments a crowd
of 5000 persons, Including many women,
patiently waited throughout the day until
he should decide to take out his machine
for a sail.
The aeroplane scared down the course
and then abruptly, almost recklessly,
swooped and turned and came majestically
down the field. following the lines of trees,
after which it returned to the front Of the
grandstand with admirable ease and pre-
cision the aeroplane here descended to a
lower level. seemingly to drop the spec
tators a polite aerial courtesy. Then II
rose again and resmued its trip, describing
zigzags here and there until Il completed
three circuits of the course. Finally 1t came
to the ground at the starting point and Mr..
Wright again was received with the plaud-
it's Of the delighted spectators. There was
scarcely vestige of breeze while the flight
was taking place.
After the demonstration Mr.. Wright said
/ to the Associated Press:
MY idea is TO make longer and possibly
higher flights daily. l am feeling out my
machine"
Among the spectators today was ]. c
Coey, the American aeronaut, who was en-
thusiastic over the performance.

CHANGE IN TURKISH MINISTRY
Recall of Mehmed All hey Part Of
Plan to Replace the Old
Regime

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE recall of
Mehmed Ali Bey. the Turkish minister at
Washington announced in the Associated
Press dispatches from London occasioncd
no great surprise to official Washington.
Indeed, It has been confidently predicted
that this would surely follow the change
in the Turkish ministry as Mehmed Ali
Bey was sent to Washington under the
old regime. The general expectation is
that the porte will adopt the general prac-
tiee of recalling all the ministers appointed
before the constitution was proclaimed and
substitute in their places men known to be
in sympathy with the new order of things
| in Turkey.
Mehmed Ali Bey is a comparatively young
man, being only about 35 years of age.
He. however, ranks high in the diplomatic
corps and IL a man of culture and learn
! ing Before coming to Washington ne oc-
, cupied an important position in the foreign
office, being one of the counsellors Of the
J office.
The minister authorizes general denial
| of the stories which reflect upon the
character and integrity of his father. He
has been represented as a reactionary, the
minister says, whereas in fact he is liberal
in his views and often has given advice Of
that character to the sultan.
| CONSTANTINOPLE Aug. 1.-THE sultan
has made known his intention of defraying
the entire cost of building a new house of
parliament and has given orders that plans
be prepared.
| The general attitude of the sultan with
regard to the new order of things in Tur-
key is giving great satisfaction. In an in
terview with one of his new ministers the
sultan said:
Every man in Turkey is a member OF
the committee of union and progress, and
l am their president. Let US live together

win win be accepted. I'VE are going TO
buy Baldwin's machine; We need IT," said
General James Allen, chief signal officer
and yesterday he indicated that failure to
comply with the speed requirements will
not prevent the purchase OF the airship.
1t is generally understood, therefore, that
the speed and endurance trials will merely
determine the price to be paid for the
dirigibe.
Captain Baldwin is satisfied that he can
make twenty-five miles an hour under the
conditions prescribed by the signal corps.
General Allen and the scientists who have
been watching the Baldwin flights are OF
the same opinion. Colonel James rempler.
former chief OF the aeTouautical division
Of the British army, said that he believed
Captain Baldwin's dirigible could make
twenty-five miles an hour in still air.

mended that several of its features be in

UP WITH DYNAMITE.

Cleveland, O., June 1.-THE police
of Euclid Heights, the suburb in
which a municipal traction car was
blown up with dynamite at an early
hour this morning, are bending every
effort to discover the mfscreant who
caused the explosion. Seven passen-
gers were injured, non of them ia
tally. The car was running slowly.
whea the front wheels struck the ex-
p~losive. The explosion was heard ov-
er a mile. The windows of the car
were shattered and the seats twist
ed. Only the slow speed of the car
saved it from going over a steep en-
bankment. Two sticks of dynamite
were found on the rails where they
had been placed with the intention
of blowing up the car going in the
opposite direction.
