THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1902. GLENN IS CONVICTED Permitted Water-Cure to Be Administered to Natives, SUSPENDED AND FINED Ladrone Chief in Cavlte Province Break Tlirongli the Constabu lary Cordon and Escape to the Hills. WASHINGTON, July 22. Secretary Root todaySent to the President at Oyster Bay the proceedings and findings In the court martial cases of Major Edwin F. Glenn, Fifth Infantry; Lieutenant Julien E. Gau jot, Tenth Cavalry, and Lieutenant Nor man E. Cook, Filipino scouts. Glenn was found guilty of administering the water cure to natives, or permitting it to be done, and was sentenced to one month's suspension from duty and fined $50. Lieu tenant Cook was acquitted on a charge of giving orders to kill three Filipino prison ers. The testimony showed that he had given orders to shoot the prisoners if they attempted to escape. The Filipino scouts, to whom this order was given, thought it meant td shoot the prisoners. In forwarding the case to the President, the Secretary recommended that the sen tences and findings be approved, but that no other action shall be taken. It Is not believed that the President, who is the re viewing authority in these cases, will make any comments, such as were de livered by him In the case of General Smith. It Is shown In the evidence and reports that Major Glenn has performed excellent service and has done much to pacify the country where he has been In command. broke: through the cordon. Ladrone Chiefs Escape From Cavite Province. MANILA,, July 22. Montallon and Fe llzardo, the ladrone chiefs, have broken through the constabulary cordon In Cavite Province and have escaped to the moun tains. The cordon encompassed the lead ers and many of their followers. The lat ter, when trapped, made a series of breaks to escape. The constabulary withstood the first attacks, killing 14 and capturing 15 men. The ladrones finally massed under cover of the darkness and forced their way through a weak spot In the cordon, near Dasames, killing one and wounding one of the constabulary. The latter captured the papers and effects of the leaders and destroyed quantities of supplies. An extensive drive, with the object of capturing the ladrone chiefs Montellon and Fellzardo and 50 of their followers, was organized in Cavite Province. Twelve hundred constabulary, commanded by Captain Baker, moved last Thursday at daylight, forming a complete angle-shaped cordon, covering 60 square miles. Patrol launches guarded the rivers, and it was expected to close the cordon last Satur day. The entire male population of the towns and farms were to be included in the concentration movement. When com plete, the ladrones were to have been arrested and the others were to have been released. Army Changes. General Theodore J.

WASHINGTON, July 22. Governor Taft has acquainted Secretary Root with the fact reported In the news dispatches from Rome that the pope had tendered (several pretty and appropriate gifts to himself and the members of his party and he has asked whether they can be law fully accepted. It was at once recognized that the question thus presented Involved some very delicate and interesting points, principal among them being a possible de cision, expressly to be avoided at this 6tage of the negotiations. If these were decorations or gifts of large value, then undoubtedly they might not be received without authority from Congress, If the pope Is regarded as having temporal powers as being a Prince, potentate or a sovereign. Secretary Root, however, avoided an unpleasant decision of this question by Informing Governor Taft that if these gifts are not of considerable in trinsic value and are personal In char acter they may be accepted as mere sou venirs, in which case the personality of the glvor need not be a matter of official Inquiry- On the other hand, if the gifts are of exceptional value, which is not be lieved to be the case, they may be de posited In the Smithsonian Institution In this city Papal Representatives at Manila ROME, July 23. Besides an apostolic delegate for the Philippine Islands, the Vatican Is preparing to appoint an arch bishop of Manila, who probably will be Bishop Sebastian Gebhard Messmer (a Swiss), professor of canon law at the Catholic University in Washington since 1890. Three new Philippine dioceses will also be created. Governor Taft, before starting for Na ples to visit Pompeii and Mount "Vesuvius, expressed a desire that the bishop of one of the new dioceses be a native Filipino. Major Porter has. started for Paris to spend a few days there before returning to Washington Transport Snmner Arrives. SAN FRANCISCO, July 22. The United States transport Sumner arrived today from Manila.

Private Richard Johnson, of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, died of pneu monia and Sergeant John Kelly, of the Seventh, who was on his way home to be retired, succumbed to a general breaking down. Revrnrd for Missing: Men. TELLURIDE, Colo., July 22. The Board of County Commissioners has offered a reward of 13000. and the Liberty Bell and the Smuggler-Union Mining Companies a similar amount for Information leading to the cause of the death or disappearance of W. J. Barney and W. E. Smith, min ers, who mysteriously disappeared from this place about a year ago. The impres sion prevails that the rr.I.ilng companies believe both men were murdered.

DEMOCRATS OF MISSOURI Wrangle Betvreen Tvro Factions in State Convention. ST. JOSEPH. Mo., July 22. The Missouri Democratic convention tonight nominated the following ticket: Railroad and Warehouse Commission ersLong term, J. P, Knott; short term, Joseph P. Rice. Superintendent of Public Instruction Joseph P. Carrington. All the nominations were made on the first ballot. United States Senator Cock rell was decided upon for the chairman of the state committee. The Senator, who is in Washington, was apprised by wire of the wishes of the state leaders, but replied to Governor Dockery that he would not accept. The message was not accepted as final and the Senator was promptly notified that the convention urged him to reconsider his decision. Wlliiam Stone, who will be the Demo cratic nominee to succeed Senator George Graham Vest In the Senate, addressed the convention at 11:30. He presented a telegram from Senator Cockrell asking for the election of W. A Rothwell, of MobeWy, as chairman of the state com mittee. The convention, acting on the suggestion of ex-Governor Stone, unan imously nominated Rothwell. The resolutions adopted declare allegi ance to the principles of the Kansas City platform, especial stress being placed in the free-silver. lS-to-1 plank. The Gov ernment's Philippine policy is denounced. Drastic legislation is recommended, pro hibiting the existence of all trusts and corporations that have a tendency to de stroy competition. Thd platform de nounces government by injunction, child labor in factories Is condemned, and mu nicipal ownership and direct legislation are approved. This was one of the most important conventions ever held In the state, made so by a wrangle which sprang up between the state administration and a band of "Insurgents" known locally as the "antl Statehouse" crowd. This element Is head ed by Frank P. Walsh, of Kansas City, who is making a crusade against lobby ing Influences. Walsh hired the Tootle Theater last night and held an immense meeting; the feature of which was a speech denouncing Gov ernor Dockery. State Secretary Cook and Chairman Selbert, chairman of the state central committee. Walsh openly charged that the Legislature Is controlled by the corporations In return for campaign con tributions. Governor Dockery was here in person and worked hard to eliminate the Walsh crowd. The Governor did not retire last night, and his apartments were thronged throughout the night by his lieutenants. Harry B. Hawes, of St. Louis, the young leader of Missouri Democracy, Is at the head of the state administration forces. D. H. Shields, of Hannibal, presided as temporary chairman o fthe convention today. Congressman Cochran addressed the convention, and, after speaking on trusts, he declared the platform adopted would be the platform of the Democracy of the Nation, saying: "As the Democ racy of Missouri goes, so goes the Democ racy of the Nation." Much excitement was caused at the morning session when it became known that the central committee had decided that noneof the hundreds of tickets of ad mission issued by Committeeman Lysaght, of St. Joseph, would be honored. Mr. Ly saght was Identified with the so-called Walsh rebellion, and It is also asserted that this fact led to the committee's ac tion. A dramatic feature of the convention, and one Indicating that reconstruction is not yet complete, is the appearance among the Clay County delegates of Fielding Kenly, In the uniform which he wore when mustered out of the Confederate service at the close of the war. The old man expressed the very ecstacy of Joy when the band struck up ''Dixie," and could hardly contain himself. CREST OF THE FLOOD. High-Water Marie on the Mississippi Is Xott at Quincy. KEOKUK. la., July 22 The crest of the Mississippi River flood is now at Quincy, and by morning will be still fur ther south. The river reached the max imum at Quincy at noon today, and ha3 been stationary there since. A station ary stage at Hannibal is expected to morrow morning. The Lima Lake levee, extending north from Meyer, HI., 20 miles north of Quincy, developed danger today, and a large force of men was employed to patrol It, and earth tools were scat tered along its length. The Lima Lake and the C. H. Hunte levees destroyed corn valued at several millions of dollars. Levees on the Illinois side of the river, below Quincy, are standing and saved most of the country there. The Missis sippi River fell several inches here dur ing the last 24 hours, and there are no signs in Iowa -rivers of any more flood approaching. A gradual fall for two weeks will end the flood in the vast do main south of here. Several hundred tenant farmers are absolutely penniless and with no chance of an Income this year. Each community seems to be tak ing care of its own refugees. The same conditions obtain along the 75 miles of the Mississippi River on the Missouri side and 100 miles of the Des Glomes River lowlands. The population of the village of -St. Franclsville, Mo., has been nearly doubled by refugees of the flood district, who lost absolutely everything. The Illinois River at Peoria reached 21 feet above low water last night, and at 10 o'clock this morning- the dikes on which the tracks of the Peoria & Pekin Terminal Railway are built gave way. jer jw icoi ui irucit is gone, ana me water is pouring through the crevasse, flooding hundreds of acres of grain.

PARIS RELIGIOUS RIOTS GOVERX3IEXT FIRMNESS LASHES CLERICALS TO FURT. Street Fighting Before the School of an Unauthorized CongrrcETatlon Other Disturbances. PARIS, July 22. After the distribution of prizes at a school belonging to an un authorized congregation In the Avenue Parminter here today, violent speeches were made to th.e assembled crowds, de nouncing the government's action In clos ing the establishments of unauthorized congregations. Fighting ensued, the crowds breaking through tho police cor don and shouting "Vive la liberte." Fran cols Coppe, the author and poet, who was the chief speaker. Deputy Le Rolle, Gas ton Merry and the Abbe Partural were arrested. Coppe. Le Rolle and Merry were later released. Comte Urbaln de Malle, who was among those taken into custody, was held for examination. Further dis turbances and some arrests have oc curred In other places. The determined firmness with which the government Is carrying out the law against unauthorized congregations Is lashing the clericals to fury, which cul minated In today's disorderly demonstra tions In Paris. Similar, though less vio lent, scenes accompanied the closing of the schools and the departure of the teachers at other places. As a matter of fact, however, the clericals are manifest ly in a hopeless minority. Many munici pal councils in sections of France, in cluding those of such important cities as Lyons, Epernay and Beauvals, are vot ing resolutions approving the govern ment's action, congratulating the Min istry upon Its firmness and urging It to continue Its defense of civil society against the encroachments of the con gregations. The government is certainly applying the law with all possible mod eration, and, with the country behind, will, it is believed, establish the task un dertaken before Parliament reassembles. The clericals will doubtless continue their agitation, but the movement Is not likely to lead to any special result, or cause serious disturbance of public or der. GERMAN TARIFF BILL DOOMED. Von PosadotTslcl-Wehner Says It Will Never Pass. BERLIN, July 22. During the last sit tings of the customs tariff committee of the Reichstag, numerous Increases upon the schedule proposed by the government were adopted, despite the vigorous oppo sition of the Prussian representatives. Furniture, wood pulp, paving stone and brick all had tho tariff raised. Count von Posadowskl-Wehner, Imperial Sec retary of the State for the Interior, pro testing, said: "Through such increased duties, our commercial armor may be come too heavy for us to fight In it suc cessfully. The tariff bill, framed after long discussion in the Federal Council, Already constitutes a compromise which should not be imperiled in order to grat ify private wishes and local Interests." Tho Lokal Anzelger quotes Count von Posadowskl-Wehner as telling the tariff committee today: "I c"an say to you. gentlemen, that my belief Is our tariff bill will never pass." The Count made use of the above expression as a climax to his speech against the proposed in creases In the tariff. His declaration has made a tremendous sensation In political circles, and the Ministry, probably through a desire to modify the naked statement of Count Posadowskl-Wehner, published a weaker statement of his words. Buller Writes- Another Letter. LONDON, July 22. General Buller has written another letter to William Brod rlck. the Secretary of State for War, in which he complains that Mr. Brodrlck accentuated charges In the House of Commons which were never officially brought against him, and to which he was ordered to reply. In his communi cation to Secretary Brodrlck, General Buller demands that he be allowed to state his views regarding Ladysmlth's capability to hold out against the Boers. German Situation Improves. BERLIN, July 22. The Cologne Ga zette today concludes a page survey of the business situation by saying that pro duction and consumption are coming nearer to balancing each other, that ex ports are slowly Increasing, that trade Is showing a hopeful expansion, that rates for money are easy, and that the symp toms indicate a return to normal times. The Journal, however, warns syndicates against raising prices unwisely, which ac tion, it says, might set back the Improve ment in trade. Destructive Storm in Austria. VTBNNA, July 22.

' Tie-Up of Lnlre Marine Industries Threatened. CHICAGO, July 22. In the hands of one man now rests the decision whether a tie-up of tho marine Industries of the Great Lakes shall be decreed. Thi3 man is President D. F. Keefc, of the Interna tional Longshoremen's, Marine and Trans port Workers Association. Today, as a result of tho strike of the tugmen, which has been in progress since April, the executive body of his association empow ered him to decide whether the 60,000 members engaged In loading, unloading and operating vessels on the lakes shall cease work to help the tugtnen in their strike against the tug trust. If their decision be for a fight, work will be sus pended on all the iron ore, coal and lum ber docks along the chain of lakes. Should a general sympathetic strike be ordered at this time, the result would be most disastrous to lake commerce. Strikers Are Infuriated. CHARLESTON, W. Va., July 22.

"WASHINGTON, July 23. Unusual In surgent activity in the "West Indies and on the shores of the Caribbean Sea aro taxing the resources of the Navy Depart ment in the matter of ships to look after American interests. A cablegram re ceived at the State Department from Min ister Bowen at Caracas states that tho Marietta, is proceeding to ascertain the facts connected, with tho alleged, blockade by the Venezuelan Government at its own, port of Carupano. An attack on Puerto Cabello, which Is about 70 miles west of the capital. Is expected by the government and the President may go there from Bar celona instead of to Caracas as he orig inally Intended. The three United Statea warships on the Venezuelan coast are kept moving with' celerity to put in ap pearance at the port where disturbances are threatened. Meanwhile a cry comes for a ship at Hayti in the shapo of a cablegram from Minister .Livingstone at Cape Haytlen, who reports, that troops and Haytien war ships "are approaching to attack and bom bard the cape. There Is a good deal of ap prehension among the foreigners for their safety. Secretary Moody, in a cablegram today to Commander McCrae, of the gun boat Machlas, now at Colon, directed him to proceed with that vessel to Cape Hay tlen In response to the request of the United States Consul there. Orders also were sent to the gunboat Marietta di recting her to proceed to Colon to take the place of the Machlas, as soon as she has finished her present work on the Vene zuelan coast. As indicated by Mr. Bowen's cablegram to the State Department, the Marietta Is to go to Carupano to Investigate tho blockading of that port by the Venezuelan Government. As soon as she has finished this mission she will proceed at once to the Isthmus of Panama and keep watch. This shifting of the warships In the Car ibbean partially accomplishes a plan the Navy Department has for some time had In mind. This is the relief of the gun boat Machlas, which has been at Colon for several months. The officers and crew are worn out from the continuous tropical service. The orders of today will bring the Machlas northward to Cape Haytlen, and after things quiet down it Is very probable that she will continue on her way to New York. The departure of the Marietta will reduce our representation in Venezuelan waters to the Cincinnati and the Topeka. The Machlas has a detach ment of marines on board, and these, to gether with the sailors themselves, stand ready to make up a landing party in case It is needed at Cape Haytlen.
