Mall advices from the Philippines are to the effect that the military authorities have been obliged to expel all the agents of English houses at Manila from the Islands of Samar and Leyte, as they have been engaged in traf fic with rebellious natives.

PLANNED BY DESERTERS. 3Ioro of the Mansacre of American Soldiers In Samar. WASHINGTON, Dec 2. According to Manila newspapers, copies of which have been received at the War Department, the massacre of Company C, Ninth Infantry, at Balangiga, Samar, was planned by deserters from the American army. The newspapers state that two such deserters are known to have acted as spies two days before the massacre It is said that when the First Infantry was re lieved by the Ninth on the Island of Samar, these deserters obtained some uniforms which got adrift during the transfer, and thus equipped passed as American regulars. Deserters In Samar are becoming very bold, it is said, and it is not an infre quent sight to find notices written in English posted on trees and shrubbery. Inviting Americans to jolri the insurgents and instructing them how to enlist. It is also said to be a generally understood fact that deserters from the Ninth -" 'ai ry (colored) are responsible for the trouble the American troops have been having in the Batangas Province.

PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE Some Rather Fiery Remarks KardinK Arbitration. Re- CITY OF MEXICO. Dec 2. The session of the Pan-American Conference took an unexpected turn today. The order of the day called for a discussion of the project for a Pan-American Bank, and the ex change of official publications, but at the opening of the session Mr. Baez, of Para guay, took tho floor and made a speech QUEEN VICTORIA MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN i) i ,-J" " ' u.

It was unve.led on October 19, the day of the reinterment of American soldiers at the battlefield of Lundy's Lane. r advocating a comprehensive scheme of arbitration. Delegate Baez said the Monroe Doc trine only protected the" American Nations from European aggression. What was needed was another doctrine to, protect them from aggression on the part of each other. This desideratum had been sup plied by the Diaz doctrine, recently enun ciated by Scnor Chavero at the banquet given by tlvj Mexican delegation in honor of their colleagues. The basis of the Diaz doctrine, he said. Is peace, but peace can only be arsured through arbitration. Therefore, sail Mr. Baez, It was necessary to proclaim compulsory and universal arbitration as the basis of international law of the American. The Chilean delegates showed manifest indications of impatience during the speech of Mr. Baez. At its conclusion Mr. Matte, of Cnile, rose and said he thought it would be better for the conference to confine itself to the order of the day. In stead of listening to mere academic il dis cussions. M. Bermejo. of Argentina, when he arose to report on the project for tne Pan-American Bank, took exception to Mr. Matte's remarks, saying fnat the sub ject or arbitration was not academical, tne Commissioners that the refusal to fur by t one that vitally cor cerned the future nlsh figures of Minnesota's proportion of peace of the American Continent. He then went on to show tive expediency of the Pan-American Bank.

This note which, says the correspondent, evidently comes from Maltre Laborl and the withdrawal of the brief, was due entirely to Maltre Laborl's action In connection with M.

It Is stated that the relations between Maitre Laborl, Colonel Picquart and the Dreyfus family ceased a year aco. M Relnach confirms the statements In the note. The Times correspondent adds that It is well known that MM. Laborl and Relnach disagree on the question of the pardon of Dreyfus.

(Continued from First Page.) well, Dooley vs. the United States, and Downes vs. Bldwell.Un the last term of the court." The Facts In the Case. The record shows that Pepke, who was the respondent In the court below, was a soldier In tbve Army of the United States In the Island of Luzon; that while there, and after the ratification of the peace treaty, he purchased the 14 diamond rings which arc Involved ln the case. He after ward brought these rings, while still In the service of the United States, aboard the United States vessel transporting his regiment to San Francisco, where he was mustered out. Later he came with the rings to Chicago, where the rings were seized by the customs officials under the claim that the Philippines were foreign territory, and merchandise brought from those islands to the United States was subject to customs "duties. Pepke set up the claim that the imposition of duties upon merchandise under the circum stances was contrary to the United State3 laws and ln violation of his rights as a citizen. The case came to the Supreme Court from the District Court of the United States for the Northern Division of Illi nois. In that court the facts set up ln Pepke's plea were admitted by a demurrer filed by the United States, and that court sustained the demurrer, overruling the plea and entering judgment against the merchandise thus seized and directing that it be sold ln accordance with the law, and from this decision the present writ of error was prosecuted. After stating the case at some length Chief Justice Fuller quoted somewhat ex tensively from the opinion of this court In the case of De Lime vs. BIdwelL His principal quotation from that case was a paragraph setting forth the theory that a country remains foreign, with respect to the tariff laws, until Congress has acted by embracing It within the customs. The opinion then continued as follows: Censed to Be Spnnish. "No reason is perceived for any different ruling as to the Philippines. By the third article of the treaty Spain ceded to the United States 'the archipelago known as the Philippine Islands,' and the United States agreed to pay to Spain the sum of 520,000,000 within three months. The treaty was ratified; Congress appropriated the money: the ratification was pro claimed. The treaty-making power, the executive power, the legislative power con curred in the completion of the transac tion. The Philippines thereby ceased, in the language of the treaty, to be 'Span ish.' Ceasing to be Spanish, they ceased to be foreign country. They came under the complete and nbsolute sovereignty and dominion of the United States, and so be cime territory of the United States, over which civil government could be estab lished. The result was the same, although there was no stipulation that the native inhabitants should be Incorporated Into the body politic, and none securing to them the right to choose their nationality. Their allegiance became due to the United States, and they became entitled to Its protection. "But it is said the case of the Philip pines Is to be distinguished from that of Porto Rico because, on February 14, 1S99, after the ratification of the treaty of peace with Spain, It Is not intended to Incorporate the Inhabitants of the Philip pine Islands Into citizenship of the United States, nor permanently to annex those islands. Wc need not consider the force and effect of a resolution of this sort, If adopted by Congress, not like that of April 20, 1S9S, in respect to Cuba, prelimi nary to the declaration of war, but after title had been passed by ratified cession. It is enough that this was a joint resolu tion; that it was adopted by the Senate by a vote of 26 to 22, not two-thirds of a quorum; and that it is absolutely without legal slgnlficence on the question before us. Tne meaning of the treaty cannot be controlled by subsequent explanations of some of those who may have voted to ratify it. "What view the House might have taken as to the Intention of the Senate ln ratify ing the treaty we are not Informed, nor is it material; and if any Implication from the action referred to could properly be indulged, It would seem to be that two- thirds of a quorum of the Senate did not consent to the ratification on the grounds Indicated. As Rcffards Complete Possession. "It Is further contended" that a distinc tion exists in that while complete posbes slpn of Porto Rico was taken by the Unit ed States, this was not so as to the Phil ippines, because of the armed resistance of the native inhabitants to a greater or less extent. We must decline to assume that the Government wishes thus to dis parage the title of the United States, or to place Itself in the position of waging a war of conquest. "The sovereignty of Spain over the Phil ippines and possession under claim of title had existed for a long series of years prior to the war with the United States. The fact that there were insurrections against her, or that uncivilized tribesmen may have defied her did not affect the validity of her title. She granted the islands to the United States, and the grantee In. accepting them took nothing less than the whole grant, if those ln Insurrection against Spain continued in insurrection against the United States, the legal title and possession of the latter remained un affected. "We do not understand that It is claimed ln carrying on the pending hostilities the Government Is seeking to subjugate the people of a foreign country, but, on the contraty, that It Is preserving order and suppressing Insurrection In territory of the United States. It follows that the jurisdiction of the United States Is ade quate, and this cannot be admitted for one purpose and denied for another. "It Is sought to detract from the weight of the ruling ln De Lima vs. Bldwell be cause one of the five Justices concurring in the judgment ln that case concurred ln the judgment In Downes vs. Bldwell. Porto RIcan Decision Cited. "In De Lima vs. Bldwell, Porto Rico was held not to be a foreign country, after cession, and that a prior act ex clusively applicable to foreign countries became inapplicable. In Downes vs. Bid well the conclusion of a majority of the court was that an act of Congress levy ing duties on goods imported from Porto Rico into New York, not in conformity with the provisions of the Constitution in respect to the Imposition of duties, im posts and excises, was valid. Four of tne members of the court dissented from and five concurred, though not on the same grounds, ln this conclusion. The Justice who delivered the opinion ln the De Lima case was one of the majority, and was of the opinion that although bythe conces sion Porto Rico ceased to be a foreign country, and became a territory of the United States and domestic, yet that it was merely 'appurtenant territory and not a part of the United States, within reve nue clauses of the legislation.' This view placed the territory, though not foreign, outside of the restrictions applicative to Interstate commerce, and treated the power of Congress, when affirmatively ex ercised over a territory situated as sup posed, as uncontrolled by the provisions of the Constitution In respect of National legislation. This distinction was drawn between a special act in- respect of the par ticular country, and a general and prior act only applicable to countries foreign to ours In every sense. The latter was THE LITTLE ONES NEED THE BEST! Bait Breakfast Food Will Build Them Up In Flesh, Bone and Muscle. Malt Breakfast Food Is the only cereal food that children will use and relish from day to day. It has a delicious flavor and does not pall on the taste as other grain foods do.

Grocers everywhere. obliged to conform to tho rule of uni formity, which was wholly disregarded in the former. "The ruling In the case of Dc Lima re mained unaffected and controls that under consideration. And this Is so, notwith standing four members of tho majority ln the De Lima case were of the opinion that Porto Rico did not become by the "ces sion subjected to the exercise of Govern mental power In tho levy of duty unre stricted by Constitutional limitations. "Decree reversed and case remanded, with directions to quash the Information." The Dooley Case. The Dooley case involved tho con stitutionality of the law of April 12, pro viding for the collection of duty on ar ticles shrpped from the United States Into Porto Rico. The decision was ren dered by Justice Brown. The Govern- ment in sustained ln tho. second Dooley cahe. In the Dooley case Justice Brown's opinion held that as Porto Rico Is not foreign territory the goods shipped to Porto Rico are not exports, but whether exports or Imports the wide range of Congress ln the matter of taxation was sufficient for a contingency of this char acter. At best, he said, the duty was a temporary expedient, and as it was ex plicitly provided In the Foraker act that the Porto Rican Legislature could change the character of the enactment. It was held that the Foraker act was merely legislation In the interest of Porto Rico. The Foraker act was sustained on the grounds laid down In the Downes case, another of the Insular cases decided at the last term. The decision of the lower court was affirmed. Justice Brown ex plicitly said that the opinion was not to be construed as a justification of export duties. Justice White concurred ln the result, but delivered an Independent decision. This case grows out of the Imposition of tariff duties on goods shipped from New York to Porto Rico from May 1, 1900, to October 23 of the same year, under the act of April 12. 1D00, providing revenues and a civil government for Porto Rico, the sum Involved being $1433.

Wr r VI Ji 'xlnoJPrMaH A Throngs of Patients Teach the Lesson Not ihe Uniform $5 Rate Generously Given for All Diseases, but the Skill and Faith and Fame of the Copeland Practice Account for the Large Attendance and the General Interest. It would be a very simple-minded per son who would attempt to account by the $5 rate ln and of Itself for the crowds thronging the Copeland offices, for the public Interest, for the general gratitude and for the very avalanche of letters from sick people. The fact that an Institution was giving medical treatment for $5 a month would certainly account for none of these things. Of course, sick people like .to feel that they arc receiving medical care at a small cost, but that Is only a minor con sideration. What sick people want to feel and know, what their loving and anxious families and friends want to feel and know. Is that they are receiving the very best medical treatment that can be obtained. If the Copeland practice were a mere money-making venture, Instead of being a public blessing, an offer of 53 a month or an offer of "free treatment," for that matter would be received with indiffer ence. Bad treatment and bad teaching arc bad, even if "given free." THE RECORD OF CURES GROWS DAILY WARM PRAISE OF THE COPELAND TREATMENT FROM A WELL- KNOWN RAILWAY MAN.

In speaking of his treat ment and cure at the Copeland Institute, he said: "For 15 years I was a sufferer from that filthy disease, catarrh.
