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.

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.

THE POPE'S GIFTS.
Tnft Uncertain Whether or Not He
Could Receive Them.
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

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22. The United
States transport Sumner arrived today

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.

KINGSTOWN, Island of St. Vincent,
July 21. There was another severe earth
quake here at 1:10 this morning. It was
of long duration, and was accompanied
by a repetition of the phenemena of
Thursday last The shock caused Intense
excitement among the Inhabitants, who
fled in their nlghtclothes Into the streets,
and remained out of doors until day
break. Partially demolished buildings
are being pulled down today for public
safety. There was a thunder storm last
night. Today the weather Is. very squal
ly, and the sea is receding. Some people
anticipate a tidal wave.

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

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.

MAT PARALYZE COMMERCE. '
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.

By Activity of Rebels on Shores -
Caribbean Sea.
"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. The Mari
etta also has a small marine guard aboard
which can serve the same purpose if neces
