The Hague, June 1. —Both sections
of the disarmament committee met
yesterday and, as was anticipated,
failed to agree with regard to the ques
tions of new inventions in armaments.
The drafting committee of the arbi
tration committee made some advance.
The American delegates submitted
their scheme relating to an arbitration
tribunal. The plan provides that eaeh
country shall appoint a single arbitra
tor to be selected by the supreme court
of the signatory powers. The tribu
nal shall have a permanent central
seat and be com posed of at least three
judges who shall not be natives or resi
dents of countries belonging to the
powers in disaccord. The general ex
penses shall be shared proportionate
ly. In the event of new facts arising
within three months of a decision, the
same tribunal shall have power to try
again the question in dispute. l!e
--eotirse to the tribunal shall be option
al for the signatory powers.
The tribunal shall not take cogniz
ance of any dispute until assured that
the parlies concerned will accept its
decision. The convention shall come
into force and the tribunal be estab
lished when nine powers, eight of
which shall be Kuropean or American,
and four of which shall be signatories
of the treaty of Paris in 1856, shall
have adhered to the convention.
Apart front the above project the
Americans proposed a special scheme
of mediation, providing that in the
event of a difference arising between
two powers, each shall choose anoth
er power to act as its second. The
powers thus selected shall do all they
can to reconcile the opponents. These
seconding powers shall, even when war
has broken out, continue their efforts
with a view of ending hostilities as
soon as possible.

Washington, .Tune I.—The secretary
of war has made public the report of
Hen. Otis on the operations around
Manila up to \pril <>. Gen. Otis be
gins with this statement: "The mili
tary operations are fairly well repre
sented in the reports and I have little
to add thereto, but desire particularly
to call attention to the rise of condi
tions which resulted finally in war.
This I deem to be essential to correct
the somewhat prevailing impression
that the government of the I'nited
States is responsible through deceit or
wrongful action for the present exist
in c hostilities.'*
In the latter part of January the in
surarents became aggressive, interfer
ing with American troops and finally
led fien. ()ii> to address a letter to
\guinaldo calling attention to the
arrest by Filipinos of some American
soldiers and a newspaper correspon
dent and requesting an explanation.
Vgninaldo replied that the men were
arrested inside his lines for breach of
a decree forbidding foreigners to ap
proach the insurgent lines.
fien. Otis explains that the Ameri
cans were not outside our lines and
says he quotes the correspondence
merely to show the efforts of the
American authorities to maintain
pence. lie next tells liow the Ameri
can soldiers were openly insulted and
how the insurgents had continually
labored to strengthen their lines,
threatening to drive the Americans
out of the island and how finally, on
the night of February -t. the demon

the killing of a Filipino by an Ameri

its third annual convention in this city.
Maeauley's theater, the scene of the
gathering of the white metal hosts,
was profusely decorated when the con
vention was called to order Wednes
day afternoon. When President Tar

address, the lower floor was only com
fortably filled, while the balcony was
only partially occupied and the gallery
entirely deserted, but as the conven
tion progressed the crowd increased
until perhaps 1,000 persons were in
the theater.
At the conclusion of his address.
Judge Tarvin was introduced and
spoke at considerable length. His re
marks were at times received with the
greatest enthusiasm, any reference to
a reaffirmation of the Chicago plat

Following Judge Tarvin. Congress
man .lames Kobinson, of Indianapolis,

New York, .lune 2. —The sessions of
the Ma/et committee yesterday were
noticeably chiefly® for two points, one
flu' turning at bay of Mr. Moss and the
otber evidence regarding the exist
ence in this city of the most frightful
form of depravity.
Mr. Moss opened the session with an
outburst of indignation against the
way in which witnesses had treated
him. He demanded the protection of
the committee and announced his in
tention of bringing Police ('apt. Price
before the committee to make him
prove the charges he had made against
Mr. Moss. During this heated ap
peal from the committee's counsel Dr.
O'Sullivan, who appears for the city
departments, frequently interrupted,
and in intense anger Mr. Moss de
manded that O'Sullivan be denied tho
privilege of participating in Hie pro
ceedings. Mr. Mazet upheld Mr. Moss
and Dr. O'Sullivan was rebuked, but al
lowed to remain in the committed
room.
Joseph Dillon, who is an employ?
of Mr. Moss, related the circumstance*
of :*n attempt to serve a subpoena on
Police ('apt. Price yesterday. He tes
tified that Price said to him: "Go
away from here or I'll throw you
overboard, you crook."
"You serve that subpoena this after
noon,"' said Mr. Moss in a tone that
signified his determination to males
Price prove his accusations.

Thomas L. Feitner. president of the
tax board, testified that among his ap
pointments were those of a number oj
relatives at large salaries.
Mr. Moss went into the assessments
of John T). Rockefeller, Cornelius Van

and George Gould. In the case of
Rockefeller. Sage and Vanderbilt the
record merely showed that they were
assessed in 1 SOS and 1809 after making
no appearance. In the case of Mr,
Morgan i1 showed that lie was assessed
on $1,000,000 and that he consented tc
an assessment on $400,000 after statins
that he had no property upon which
he could be assessed.
"Do you mean to say," said Mr. Moss
"that Mr. Morgan swore that he was
not taxable and then volunteered tc
pay on $400,000?"
"That is what I mean to say," sale
Mr. Feitner.
In the case of George Gould the rec
ord showed that lie was not assessed
Mr. Moss asked if any effort had beer
made to place him on the roll, and
Mr. Feitner said that not as far as
he knew. Mr. Feitner admitted that
a tremendous amount of injustice re

as it existed at present.
LOST BABE FOUND.
The Clark Child and Her Kidnaper)
are ■Uncovered Near a New York
\ illajfc.
Garnerville, X. Y„ tfune 2.—Marior
Clark, the 21-montbs-old infant kid
naped from her parents' home in New
York on May 21, was discovered twe
miles south of Sloatsburg, a village
about eight miles from here, Thursday
afternoon. She was found at, the farnr
house of Charles Voumnns and was ii:
the custody of Mrs. Jennie Wilson, whe
took the baby to that place during tin
early part of last week. Mrs. Wilsor
was accompanied by her husband and
stated to Mrs. Youmans that she want
ed board for the little girl for the sum
mer. Mrs. Wilson said she had made
arrangements with her husband tc
send all correspondence to her by wa\
of the St. .lohiis post office, which is it
few miles from Sloatsburg.
The Clark baby attracted the coun
try people by her appearance, her large
blue eyes and pink complexion being
noticeable. The curios
ity which the child aroused made her
captors grow uneasy and they kept
her closely confined at the Youman
home. As soon as the notices of the
abduction reached the neighborhood
the people began to suspect that the
child was Marion Clark. They felt
positive of it, because the child wore
the same clothes as at the time when
she was stolen. As soon as Deputy
Sheriif Churlston learned e>f the ab
duction he went to the farm house of
Charles Youmans anel found Mrs. Wil
son, from whom he demanded the
child. Mrs. Wilson claimed she knew
nothing whatever of the child. The
deputy sheriff produced a warrant, ar
rested the woman and demanded in
formation as to the whereabouts of the
child. At this Mrs. Wilson weakened
and made a confession. The baby
was then produced.
Arthur Clark, the father of the ab
ducted baby, arrived here last evening
and identified the child as his l<*i!
Marion.
The arrest of the man giving the
name of .lames Wilson, husband of the
woman, took place scon after Mr.
Clark had departed. He had come
back and gave himself up to the justice
who left him with his alleged wife.

Madrid, June 3. —In tlie speech from
the throne at the opening of the cor
tes yesterday it was announced that
the Marianne, Caroline and Palaos
islands were ceded to Germany by tho
late cabinet.
Washington, June 3.—The announce
ment that Spain had ceded the Caro
line islands and I'alaos and the Mari
annes was received with surprise here.
The cession marks the relinquishment
of Spanish possessions in the far east
save the island of Fernando Po and
dependencies on the African coast. The
dispatch containing the news was
shown to the German embassy officials,
but Ambassador Yon Holleben said
that lie had no comments to make. He
had received no information, he said,
as to the cession and the German
foreign office has not communicated
the facts to him.
IJeports have been current ime
to time that Spain was figuring ». ■> ;t
transfer of sovereignty of the Ck >•
lines and that Germany had made ovt •-
tnres looking to their acquisition in
the extension of her colonial posses
sions. Sovereignty over the Caro
lines was formally adjudged by tho
pope in 1885 to be in Spain and wai
admitted by Germany and Great
l'.ritain. This was after a rather pro
longed dispute, opened up by Germany
raising her flag over the island of Yap.
Portugal first acquired the Carolina
islands, but Spain soon wrested tho
group from her. but until about ISSO
bad paid little attention to the islands,
German interests in the Carolines arj
extensive and have Wen fostered by
provision of the pope's award, he a<
arbitrator awarding sovereignty to
Spain, but reserved to the German gov
ernment special trade facilities. Tho
Marianne islands, which go with tho
Carolines and I'alaos in the cession, of
course do not include Guam, oven
which the American flag now tiies. In
cluding Guam the Mariannes, thfl
Carolines and I'alaos have a total areo
of almost 1,000 English square miles)
and a combined population of about
45,000 people. Over all this, save thd
American acquired island of Guam, tho
German Hag is to be hoisted.
