follows:
"Referring tn telegrams from your of

tcra state, that there la absolutely na
.truth Jn the reports of vandalism about
XJorregldor, Carbado and Fralle.
"On Christmas Kvo there was a small
and unsuccessful movement in Manila,
connected with the campaign, Ttlourte has
for several years conducted from Hong
kong revolutionary propaganda, appeal
ing to the most Ignorant classes of Kjll
plnos, 'and selling through his agents In
the Islands army commissions for sums
ranging from 11 peseta to 10 pesos (10
centstto V). During the last three months
(tve of the. Ttlcarto leaders hn,ra been ar
rested and sentenced to four and six
years, including Ittcurte's right-hand
man. It has been regarded as a grutf Ing
scheme under a .revolutionary guise, but
from time to time arouses excitement
among the uneducated classes,
"Christmas eve about 75 men. extremely
Ignorant, without firearms, met at the
Botanical Garden in Manila and were
dispersed by the municipal police without
disorder, except that three shots were
fired Into the air by police, and twenty
men arrested, Eight of the latter were
held upon a charge of carrying concealed
weapons, knives and bolos. Nobody was
Injured, except one man shot by a police
man, later in the night, in another part
ot the city, when he attacked a police
man with u, bolo.
"Movements of a similar character oc
curred at Navotaa, 10 miles from Manila,
-where about 40 men assembled and en
deavored unsuccessfully to loot the
municipal safe, taking tho provincial
governor prisoner,-who afterward escaped
uninjured; 20 of this party were cap,
tured by the constabulary of the munici
pal police.
'"feu men with two firearms In Laguna
do Bay attempted to make trouble' last
night With na results. Everything U
quiet, and a vigorous attempt will be
made to secure tho leaders, the chief
of whom Is paid to be o. man under
sentence of imprisonment for homicide,
who has jumped his ball. Nobody of any
standing or influence in this movement."

the War Department, there are about
SOOO Americans, KD0 of whom are In Ma

PLAN TO REMOVE
MUNICIPAL COURT
QUARTERS REVIVED
Advisorys Committee Rec
ommends Housing of All
Branches in Building Near
2 1 st and Summer Streets.
Pinna to move the Juvenile Court and
Houso of Detention from tho now JSW.OOO
building ut --M und Arch Bt recta and
house them In a group of buildings on
'property at ":1st. Itaco nnd Summer
streets wore tovlved tills ufternoon after
three mouths' unlet.
This action was urged nt tho annual
meeting of the Advisor' Committee ap
pointed by President Judge Charles I,,
lirdnn. of the Municipal Court, in a re
port covering the year's work and pros
pects for tho future.
Tho report Is signed by George Q.
llorwltz, a law partner of Judge Brown,
who Is chairman of the Advisory Com
mittee. The committee, members of which were
active in the propaganda to push through
an ordinance providing the municipal
courts with a large tract of land, which
was before Councils In September, said
tho present Houso of Detention is Inade
quate, and there is urgent need for mov
ing to bjgger quarters.
This Is along tho Hue of the work urged
by Municipal Court ofllrlsls lu the early
fall until It wan disclosed the buildings
desired would ccst nearly $1,000,000 and
the laud wanted would be nearly as ex
pensive. With opposition to plana far more mar
ble halls for tho Municipal Court, the
most active workers for the 'scheme sub
sided and the- propaganda slumbered
until today.
The committee rendered its report con
taining recommendations for new build
ings t Judgo Brown, who appointed
members to It last January- The report
was the llrst official communication of
the Advisory Committee, The meeting
was held at theBellevue-Stratford,
The committee's recommendations cov
ering the need for new quarters for the
Juvenile Court suggested a. plan to provide
land In the vicinity of Slut nnd
Summer streets. But the opposition tu
the. plan which developed as soon as It
was announced was not mentioned. The
present House ot Detention is Inadequate,
according to the Advisory Committee.
There are not enough beds, the report
reads, and there Is need for more tables
for the dining room. Furthermore, the
hygienic and sanitary arrangements are
unsatisfactory, it Is reported.
Mr. Horwltz. chairman of the Com
mittee. urged that the House of Deten
tion, the Juvenile Court und the Domestic
Relations should all be moved together
and housed on the land at 21st and Itace
streets. "It la understood that City Coun
cils have condemned propwrty at 81st and
Summer streets for the Houso of Deten
tion and th Juvenile Court." the report

The workers say tho employment of
shoddy warp and Ehoddy fillings In the

Classify It.
The Joint High School Committee of
the Board of Education this afternoon
refused to recognize the Central High
School us a college, although for the last
75 years, under nn act of the Legislature,
Central High has been classllled as n
college.
The committee went on record today
when William T. Tllden, a member of the
board, asked that the salary of Joseph
Faltermeyer, who Is assistant to the prin
cipal of Central High and has been teach
ing In thnt Institution for a great many
years, be raised from KW to J35W and
that he be given the title of vice prin
cipal. After a lengthy argument the com
mittee refused to grant either the in

Education, which contended to be vice
principal of Central High a man must be
a college graduate. Mr. Faltermeyer Is
a Central High graduate.

LOXDOX, Dec, ao.Cuttino short Ms vacation as a result ofUtc Amer
ican protest against British interference toitti United States .'commerce. Sir
Edward Grey,- V'orcion Hccrclary,, returned unexpectedly to London todaif
and hastened to his oflicc in Downing street.
There ho conferred at length -with Viscount Haldanc, who lladicen
acting as head of the Foreign Office, and later consulted with .Premier As
quith. As a result of the second conference the entire cabinet teas Jiim
.moncd to meet this afternoon to discuss the protest.
It is understood that the American Ambassador will be invited by Bir
Hdicard to discuss the whole question with him very soon..
The chief points in the protest are:
, Demands "definite information'' regarding Great Britain's policy of
search and seizure on the high seas.
Demands an outline of the attitude for search of United States vessels
both for contraband and persons of alien enemies.
Declares the inquiry is friendly, but the time has been -reached to speak
frankly lest silence be construed as acquiescence in the infringement of
American rights.
liccltcs generally, by classification of cargoes, interference with Xfnitcd
States vessels, detention, convoying to British ports and outright seizure
(with some financial restitution) of cargoes.
Declares the burden of proof of evading contraband rules is not upon
neutral shippers, but must be proved by interfering 'belligerent.
Insists that undue delays in searching and convoying vessels must cease.
Recognizes belligerents' right to search, but insists that American ships
must not bo convoyed to belligerent ports upon mere suspicion.
Demands that foodstuffs be taken off axttraband list and alloiccd free
dom, unless consigned, at time of seizure, toun enemy.
Declares foodstuffs contraband only if for enemy's forces.
Charges that (he British sea patrol. Is not discriminating between abso
lute and conditional contraband.
rauA ?."4' 4ec.ePt,'n' 51 thc: JEW.0? jAmerjcan JjipijexsiBahlaijcid ,by
'tircat Britain for seizure' of cargoes. 'Tiii'sit is reported from Washington,
is an unofficial reply to President Wilson's Stern protest against interference'
with American foreign commerce. The President intimated such a fraud
charge in his warning to American shippers. Further, in citiiig that 6nly 20
such seizures have been made, it is declared there is no depression in Ameri
can industries, for United States export trade to neutral nations increased
$30,500,000 in November, 1914, aver November, 1913.
In Great Britain the situation is regarded as of. such import that Sir
Edward Grey, Foreign Secretary, today hastily returned from his-vacation
and immediately called a meeting of the Cabinet for this afternoon to discuss
the protest.
It is realized that a delicate, situation .has arisen, for Great Britain's
actions have aroused not only the. United States, but- also other neutral
Powers Norway, Holland, Sweden and. Denmark. The good will of these
nations, admittedly, must be held. Consequently, it is believed in London
that some agreeable policy will be adopted, and further complications avoided.
Britain's vacillating policy in regard to what commodities constitute
contraband of war has caused the determined stand taken by the United
States, according to Washington officials. Delay in the transmission of the
note has caused some concern at the American capital.
AMERICAN FRAUD BLAMED
FOR SEIZURE OF CARGOES
WASHINGTON, Dec. SD.-Great Brit
ain's attitude toward the protest by the
United States against seUure of Its trad
Ins shlp is already Known here, it la
said. A reply to such protests. It is re
ported, already has been made, and Brit
ain blames American shippers' fraUd and
deception for the necessity of halting
cargoes.
A reply to the note Just Issued by the
President cannot have been made, as It
was announced from Lopdon this after
noon that the protest hnd not been re
eclved today.
In Its attitude on the question 'Great
Brltuln contends that
, Great Urltaln explains, however, that
the car3oes detained for search, against
which the United States protests, were
all destined to the five neutral neighbors
of Germany-Sweden, Denmark. Norway,
Holland or Italy. It la added that Amer
ican exports tu these countries since the
outbreak of war had Increased vastly. In
November, 19U. they were 30,W0,O0Q
greater than in November, 1913. Wherein
Injury, causing Industrial depression,
could have been done to an export trado
showing such a healthy increase, it is
suggested. Is not clear. It Is also con
tended, on the British side, that there
have been not more than SO detentions.
But while the British have made this
explanation of the ButtU; President
Wilson has expressed himself, to callers
as convinced of the -correctness of the
American contentions in this con ersy
and as nrmiy 01 wn ; -'
Great Britain will have to pay indemnity
tor illegal and unwarrantable detentions
of American vessels.
Though no formal official discuss on.pt
the American protest will be obtainable
until the British Foreign Office presents
a maturely considered reply, the argu
ments in this controversy made by the
British Government ara known. Tho
American noto Is admittedly a. summary
of points contained In notes and protests
made from time to time to the British
rinwtrmnent as this controversy has de
veloped. To these representations the
British Government has replied, both
orally and in formal notes.
Upon the protest of the Ucltd States
against tho detentions of American ves

t is the contention of ths British Gov

First, that there have besn not
more than 80 such detentions, which

LONDON, Deo. 30,-Not since th f.arlv
days of the war has popular interest
been bo centred on a session of the
British Cabinet as today. It was a
special meeting and was called to ta.ke
up the formal protest made' by the United '
States against the right of search and

on the high seas.

the Press Bureau late this afternoon:

a large number of official records, be
