Colonel Goethals declares that the

less than the estimates. That is, it
will cost less than $S75,OOO,OOO. He

MANILA, April 2O.-M&jor Sweet,
seSior inspector of Constabulary of
Batangas, has reported the death of
the notorious bandit Juan de Castro,
one of the only remaining outlaws
of importance in the Philippines.
According to reports made by Lieu
tenant Coronado, a Constabulary pat
rol under Corporal Endsya, while out
scouting the country in and around
the barrio of Gale, in the jurisdiction
of Tanauan, yesterday, struck Juan de
Castro and his band among whom
was Pedro Mendoza. They were arm
ed with two revolvers and DO os.
When encountered they were called
upon to surrender but resisted arrest,
firing into the Constabulary. The de-
tachment returned the fire and a fight
ensued in which the outlaws were
routed. Corporal Endaya personally
accounted for Juan de Castro, shoot
ing him through the abdomen. De
Castro was later conveyed to the hos

PRESIDENT ELIOT FAVORS
EXTRATERRITORIAUITY FOR
CHINA FOR THE PRESENT

TIENTSIN, April 1S.-Dr Charles
w. Eliot, president emeritus of Har-
ward, delivered an address here today
to a large audience on extraterritori-
atty in China. DR.. Eliot took the
ground that the natiors were justified
in maintaining their own judicial sys-
TENS in China in the absence of any
such thing as a modern system in
China. DR. Eliot said that when China
established a modern system of justice
so that foreigners in the country would
be assured of fair trials, in all cases,
civil and criminal, then the powers
should surrender the principle of extra
territoriality and treat China as the
other nations of the earth are treated
But he insisted that until such judi
it had been demonstrated that foreign
eHs could expect substantial justice in
the courts of the country the powers
would be justified in maintaining the
pretent arrangement.

ON BEHALF OF FREE SUGAR

continues as follows:
las the price of all sugar in this
country is based on the in bond price
OF foreign sugar, plus the duty and
cost of refining, it is apparent that the
value of all sugar produced inside our
tariff wall-Porto Rico, Hawaii, Phil
ippines, Louisiana and domestic beet

tariff on sugar Naturally, these in
terests desire that present rates ne

The free sugar bill passed by the
House of Representatives brought
forth the usual wall from these in
terests, who claim that 'ruination'
eiares them in the face if the bill
became a law. They did this when
the. Hawaiian sugars We're admitted

Porto Rico sugars were admitted free,
and was repeated when Cuba sugars
were admitted at a twenty per cent

when Philippine sugars were permit
