tho Official language of th Court.
Arrival of Traniporte.
MANILA, May 30. An order has been
Issued re-establishing the Philippine
courts, which have been closed since
the American occupation. It revives
all of the Spanish system which does
not conflict with the sovereignty of the
United States. The chief Justice is
Cayetano Arrelano. . The associates of
the civil branch are Manuel AraulU,
Colonel Crowder and Gregorlo Arunlta.
The Justices of the criminal branch are
Raymundo Melliza, Ambrosio llian
zares, Julio Llorento, Major Young and
Captain Birkhlmer. The attorney gen
eral Is Florontlo Torres. This corres
ponds "with the American supreme
court.
The oath prescribed begins: "I recog
nize and accept the supreme authority
of the United States of America," etc.
The Filipino members are all promi
nent lawyers. Arrellano is the leader
of his profession In the Islands. In
the early stages of the Filipino gov
ernment he was Aguinaldo'a principal
adviser. Aranita was a member of
Aguinaldo'a first cabinet. Melliza was
president of the insurgent government
at Hollo; Torres Is the leader of tho
local committee working with the com
mission to conciliate the insurrcctlon-
IbtS.
Spanish will be the official language
of the courts. There has been ag
itation among the -local Hrltlsh and
American business men and American
lawyers who came to the Philippines
to make fortunes, to have the English
code and languuge adopted, but Ma
jor General Otis concluded that It
would be unwise, even If practical, to
upset long usage. He thought it best
to give the natives courts In the lan
guage to which they have been accus
tomed. The SpanlBh salaries proved a stum
bling block to obtaining good men, the
highest being only $2,500, the Spanish
Judges receiving fees, which are abol
Ished. All the Judges are representa
tive men.
The transports Senator and Ohio,
which left San Francisco April 28, with
the Thirteenth infantry on board, have
Just reached here with all well on
board. Five men deserted at Hono
lulu, and one was drowned. There was
no other casualties.
The correspondents of a New York
newspaper have been disbarred for fab
ricating an Interview with General
Lawton dated Manila, May 23, and
for evading the censorship.
The steamer El Cano hus arrived here
from the Island of Guum, bringing the
Filipinos who were exiled there by the
Spaniards for participating in the old
rebellion.
INSURGENTS AGAIN ACTIVE.
They Ar Rapidly Iteuewlng Their Guer
rilla Warfare on Our Outpotte.
MANILA, May 29. The approach of
the wet season finds the Insurrection
seemingly taking a new lease of life
All along th,e American lines the reb
els are showing more aggressive ac
tlvlty, In their guerrilla style than at
any time before since the fall of Malo-
los. They keep the United States
troops In the trenches, sleeping In their
clothing, and constantly on the alert
against dashes upon our outposts, and
they make life warm for the American
garrisons in the towns.
As It was Impossible to take to Spain
the remains of the Spanish general,
Montero, who was fatally wounded In
a recent engagement with the Filipinos
In the island of Mindanao and w'ho
died while being brought here from
Zamboanga on the transport Leon XIII,
It was decided that the Interment
should take place In Manala. The fun
eral took place here, hundreds of Span
ish soldiers and civilians attending the
services In the cathedral and following
the cortege to the grave with wreaths
and flags.
The Spanish papers declare that Mon
tero was a victim of the Spanish gov
ernment s neglect.
Captain Tllley Mine ing.
WASHINGTON, May 29. General
Greeley has received a cablegram from
Major Thompson at Manila reporting
that a party landing ror the repair o
the cable at Kscalante. Island of Ne
grim, has been treacherously attacked
by natives, and Captain George H. Til
ley, signal corps, is missing, and that
the worst Is feared. TUley's services
in the Philippines have been marked
by such ability, courage and zeal that
his superiors placed him in the fore
most rank of subordinate officers.
PARIS STILL FAST.
No More Effort Will Ite Made to Re,
move Her Until Lightened.
COVEUACK. Cornwall, May 29. Th
ninth attempt to float the American
line steamer was made and proved an
utter failure. Her bow Is absolutely
impaled by the rocks. Five tugs were
used in the endeavor to tow her off,
three others standing by for an emer
gency. Her boilers, excepting those
used for the pumis, were emptied to
lighten the ship.
The effect of the strain of last week's
attempts Is apparent in the increase of
water In the engine room. KfTorts to
pull her off will now be discontinued
and It is propoeed to concoct some plan
for lightening the vessel.
The pertinacity of the attempts to
tow the liner has caused considerable
surprise among experts here, owing to
the impalment of the bov as her re
moval by towing must mean, 1n the
opinion of experts, the tearing off of the
bow.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Bradatreet's Weekly Report oa th Con
dltlon of linalneaa.
NEW YORK. May 27.-Dradstreefs
ays: Favorable features or current
trade still, as for a long time past.
largely outnumber those of an opposite
character. Wholesale distribution Is
naturally less active as the season ad
vances, but comparisons with last year
are still very satisfactory. Much Is
hoped for from better weather condi
tions stimulating retail trade, hitherto
held in check by the backward spring
season. Industrial activity Is wide
spread and the prices of most staples
are either very firm or tending up
ward, except In the cases of products
affected by weather conditions.
That of ten-relied-upon barometer of
generul business conditions, the Iron
and steel trade, reports Increasing rath
er than lessening activity, notwith
standing the approach of warm weath
er. In some lines, in fact the situation
Is becoming rather excited. The pres
sure of consumptive demand really
seems likely to either do away with
entirely or shorten very appreciably the
summer shutdown period. Features In
this trade are heavy buying by promi
nent interests in the Central West, ad
vances In prices of all grades of pig
Iron and many varieties of the more
finished products and predictions of still
higher prices to come, coupled with de
nials by leading Interests of a "corner"
In the market for crude pig. Indica
tions are that the volume of business
now being done or offered is far in ad
vance of all previous records. Export
trade is feeling the check, due not en
tirely to advancing prices, however, but
to actual inability to take new business
at any price.
Reports from winter wheat become
Increasingly unfavorable, conservative
estimates pointing to 100.000,000 bushels
smuller crop, owing to Insect damage,
and near futures higher on the week.
Cash wheat naturally reflect Ihe end
Ing of the Buffalo strike and conse
quent freer movement of supplies to the
seaboard, however, in slightly easier
prices.

PROVED HIS THEORY.
A Young Man Jump. From til llrook
lyn Hriilit" Without Injury.
NEW YORK, May 29.-Howard Kretz,
a young man bout 22 years old, whe
says ne is an art student or tne Acau
emy of De.dgn in this city, made a
startling ar.d successful Jump from the
Brooklyn bridge Just before dusk and
came out of the river uninjured.
About 6 o'clock Kretz boarded an
open trolley car bound for Brooklyn,
When the car reached a point near tht
highest point of the span Kretz leaped
down and like a flash vaulted over tht
high railing. He took no time to steady
himself, but swung some distance out
from the structure before he assumed
an upright position.
The startled passengers peered
through the railing; while hundreds ol
persons on the promenade tried to get a
glimpse of the figure. Kretz's body
Hashed through the air almost in
perpendicular streak. He struck thi
water feet first, cleaving it like an ar
row. He disappeared for some sec
onds and then shot up Into view ngaln
only to dlsapppear for the second time,
The waters had hardly closed over him
when he reappeared and immediately
struck out strongly for the New York
shore. He wan picked up by a rlvei
steamer, and when the boat reached
her dock Kretz sprang on to the wharf.
He was taken Into custody. He waf
suffering from shock, but had received
no apparent Injury.
Kretz Is about 5 feet 8 Inches tall and
weighs 140 pounds. He lives In thlf
city. He said that he hud been reading
a book on theosophy and that hf
wanted to demonstrate that a man, by
exerciHing his will power could do any
thing he wished without Injury to him

AY FOR THE CUBANS.
The Distribution of the $3,-
000,000 Has Begun.
Bat Few Appeared at Flret bnt Later
TTiey llcgun t Make Their Appi arancc
t th Pay Ofllce Opposition to the
Scheme Gradually Dying Out Gulni
Into tho Interior.
HAVANA, May 30. The day's events
In connection with the payment of th?
Cuban troops entitled to apply for a
share In the American gratuity have
effectually killed off the opposition to
the receipt of the bounty by privates
In American military circles It is con
sidered that a fine start has been made
and that the opposition is defeated.
Three hundred privates arrived dur
ing the day to apply for payment, but
though Lieutenant Colonel George M.
Randall of the Eighth United States in
fantry, the commissioner superintend
ing the distribution here kept his office
open from 10 a. m to 5 p. m only 112
could be paid during that interval as
each man took up several minutes.
Many who brought arms were not on
the rolls at all. Ninety-nine rifles
were surrendered, most of the applicants
declining to take chances in turning the
weapons over to the mayor of Havana,
evidently believing It would be better
to give the'm direct to the Americans.
All day it was virtually Impossible tn
get through the front door of the ofticr
unless the sentry cleared the way. The
Cuban officers, who on the lirst day
tried to discourage any who were dis
posed to apply, finding now that the
tide of feeling has turned, are offering
all the assistance possible to Colonel
Randall.
At the conclusion of the day's work
there were more than 200 who had not
been heard. These will have to wait
until after the return of the pay cat
on June 15, when there will probably
be extra days assigned for Havana.
The pay car, carrying money, Colonel
Randall, his escort, a physician and the
paymasters, has left for the interior.
One thousand posters were sent Intc
the province of Pinar del Rio to an
nounce the places and dates of pay
ment. General Brooke gave the ordel
for printing and Senor Domingo Men
del Capote, secretary of government,
sent special messengers to affix the no
tices in prominent places.
DREYFUS CASE ARGUED.
The Case llelng Reheard by the French
Conrt of Caanallniin.
PARIS, May 30. The argument for a
rehearing of the Dreyfus case Is fairly
under way In the French court of cas
sations. Considerable time was occu
pied by M. Ballot de Beoupre in read
ing extracts from and analyzing the
statement of M. Mornnrd, counsel foi
Madame Dreyfus, which was a lengthy
recital of facts already fully published.
After reading M. Mornard's defense,
which concluded by maintaining that
the material evidence of the bordereau
and the moral evidence cropping out
during the Inquiry pointed not to Drey,
fus, but to Esterhazy as the culprit
M. Ballot de Beaupre dealt with the
question of motive. He read the police
report furnished by M. Guenee, the de
tective, and unfavorable to Dreyfus,
and reports of .the prefecture of police
pointing out that there had been a con
fusion of Dreyfus with others of the
same name who had been mixed ur.
with gambling and disreputable female
associations. The latter reports were
not produced at the trial in 189.
t IJ .. M . a Ti . . , . , I
n. iiiiin uc weuupie men poinieu
out that Dreyfus could not have acted
as a traitor from anger or disappoint
ment, as he had the finest prospects ol
an excellent military career. On the
other hand Esterhazy, the reporter al
leged, was a soldier of fortune, always
begging from the money lenders.
Continuing, the reporter read letteri
written by Esterhazy abusing France
and the French army, these producing
a deep Impression upon the audience.
He referred to a letter written by Es
terhazy to Baron Rothschild, dated
June 21, 1S94, to the effect that if his
application for money were refused he
would have no resource but to kill hit
family and then to commit suicide.
Such, said the reporter, was Ester
hazy's language on the eve of the date
when the bordereau was "placed." The
inference to be drawn was that Este
hazy sought In treason resources nec
essary to carry on a life of dissipa
tion. At this point, with the evident appro
val of all who listened, M. Ballot de
Beaupre quoted from M. Mornard'i
statement as follows:
"Although Justice has been rendered
more or less impotent with regard tc
Esterhazy by the latter's acquittal ol
the charge of being the author of the
bordereau, it Is none the less the duty
of the supreme court to restore to lib
erty an innocent man unjustly con
demned." Id an Excellent Condition.
BOSTON, May 30. The annual meet
ing of the Congregational association
was held here. The report of the di
rectors showed that the association
was In an excellent condition. The
Congregational House has been com
pleted at an expense of $630,000. This
has been paid, with the exception of
$205,000. The rentals were reported to
be satisfactory and the Income suffi
cient to net a surplus. Many new mem
bers were admitted und Samuel John

ST. JOHNS, N. B., May 25. A fire
broke out In a house adjoining the gen
eral warehouse of P. Nase & Sons. Main
street, North End, and for several
hours Its progress was. unchecked. In
sufficient water supply, a long term of
jry weather and a brisk gale contrib
uted to cause a conflagration which, for
a time, threatened annihilation to the
wooden district where In it originated.
In half an hour from the first alarm
10 buildings on Main and Bridge streets
were In flames.
Shortly afterward the wharves and
warehouses of the Star line took fire.
The bulk of the fire department was
concentrated to the east of the burning
building, striving to cheek the progress
of the fire towards the heart of the city.
But the water supply proved Insuffi
cient and building after building on
Main street caught and burned, while
several blocks In the rear of Main
street on both sides were soon blazing.
The destruction of several buildings
on Main street by the use of dynamite
stayed the progress of the flames along
the line of the street railway and the
firemen were able to direct their efforts
more particularly to the district north
of Main street, and Including blocks
of dwellings bounded by Victoria, Met
calf, Bridge, Holly, Cunard and Albert
streets. The spread of the flames was
soon stopped and the ruins gradually
burned out.
One of the leading underwriters esti
mates the loss at half a million dollars
and the Insurance at $300,000.

NO CONFERENCE HELD.
That Coal Differential Qneatlitn Ie Tet
Far From tt,. innnU
PITTSBURG, May 2(!. The settle
ment of the differential question Is etlll
a matter of conjecture. A conference
of the miners and operators was to
have been held, but is was postponed
Indefinitely on acocunt of the non-receipt
of the ultimatum of the thin vein
operators. There was a rumor current
that the thin vein operators had sent
a communication to Secretary Dodds of
the United Mine Workers. President
Dolan denied any knowledge of It, and
the secretary is out of the city.
It is the general opinion that the thin
vein men have not changed their views
on the differential question. President
Dolan, who is conservative on the mat
ter of strikes, said that the whole trou
ble could have been settled In a week
by ordering a fteneral strike In all the
mines, pending the adjustment of the
question.
A local dealer In viewing the present
condition of business said: "In my opin
ion, the miners throuirhout the coun
try, especially la this district, have a
very encouraging future before the.n.
It Is likely that both the market and
shipping price on coal will advance and
operators will be In a condition to give
White company has taken the lead in
the matter, and I have l.ttle doubt but
the other operators will follow."
The present outlook in the situation
Is due to the rushing of coal for the
lake trade. Some 25 carloads were
shipped to lake points by local dealers.
The settlement of the Buffalo strike has
caused a big rush of coal to this and
other points along Lake Erie. Over
1,000 cars of coal were sapped over the
various railroads to the lakes. The de
mand is said to be greater now than
In years past and prices are said to be
going up on all coal sold, and an In
crease of 10 per cent is looked for on
all new contracts.

PITTSBURG, May 27. - Pittsburg
skill has been called upon by English
capitalists to assist In the development
of the valley of the Nile, in Egypt
Two trains, each of 50 steel cars, has
Just started from here for the sea
board to be shipped to that far-otT land.
These cars were manufactured at
the Woods Run plant of the Pressed
Steel Car company and are for the
Egyptian Railway company. They will
be run to Jersey City on their own
wheels, and there placed on board ship
for transportation to Alexandria. The
consignment represents a contract of
over $100.0(10. The cars will make up
almost the entire caij.o of one ship,
men aggregate weig.:! being nearly
2,000 tons. The st.-am.-ii p :i.;e of Ber-
oer fcl.u., New York, will convev th
cars from Jersey City to Alexandria.
All of the cms are of one pattern of
the gondola class. The Woods Run
plant has been run to its fullest ca
pacity day and night In gettlne; the
cars ready for early shipment. R. D,
Wilson, an English mechanical engl.
neer, was sent here by the Egyptian
nan way company to inspect the work.
He will follow the trains to Jersey
City and supervise the loading.
The Egyptian Railway company Is
composed of English capitalists, whv
are developing vast coal and Iron ter
ritory In Egypt. The successful cam
paign of the English In that country
recently has thrown open a great field
that heretofore could not be reached.
The railway company is fast extend
ing Its line to the interior and the Pitts
burg cars will be used In bringing out
coal and ores.
This Is the first shipment of any
consequence of American cars to a
foreign country and It Is looked upon
as the beginning of a new class of
trade abroad. As Pittsburg has a good
lead In the steel car Industry, the man
ufacturers of this section will likely get
the greater jart of this new foreign
trade.
