VON WALDERSEE S WITHDRAWAL
R suit of Chinese Government's Accept

WASHINGTON. June l.-Mr. Rock
hill, special United States commissioner
at Pekln, has Informed the state de
partment that the departure of Field
Marshal Count Von Waldersee from
China, is the result of the acceptance
by the Chinese government of the un
derstanding to pay an indemnity of
4",0.000.000 taels. the German government
regarding that pledge as sufficient to
warrant withdrawal.
He further states that the German
forces, which are being rapidly dimin
ished, will be limited to one brigade.
Mr. Conger, minister to China, has
written to the state department that
he expects to sail for China about July
7, which is the date of tfc? expiration
of his two months' leave.
PASPORT FOR FILIPINOS.
Two Men to Be Sent Home From Lon
don by Ambassador Choate.
WASHINGTON, June l.-ln answer
to his application for instructions. Sec
retary Hay has directed Ambassador
Choate at London to issue passports to
the two Filipinos who appeared at the
Embassy yesterday "as residents cf the
Philippine Islands, and as such, entitled i
to the protection of the United States."
The decision upon th's point is of im
portance, as having perhaps some b?ar
insr upon the status of the people of the
Philippines, Porto Rico and Guam. A
year ago the decision was reached to
regard the Porto Ricins as entitled to
the protection conveyed by an Ameri
can passport, but a formal decision of
the test case was prevented through
the withdrawal of the application. Th-5
Foraker act determined the right of
Porto Rlcans, as "citizens of Porto
Rico," to the protection of the United
States government. It Is now held that
the Spooner law conveys the same priv
ilege to the inhabitants of the Philip
pines.
The United States Statutes prohibit
the Issue of passports to any but Amer
ican citizens, but the Foraker act and
the Spooner act. impose obligations in
their turn which may be regarded as
qualifying the original act, and may
enable the government to avoid a de
cision upon the question of American
citizenship of the Islanders. At any
rate, the circular instructions now In
formulation, which will be sent out to
all United States diplomatic and con
sular representatives, will direct them
to issue, not certificates, but genuine
American passports to the Islanders.
THERE WAS NO PRECEDENT.
LONDON, June 1. The officials of the
Unltetd fliate, embassy Inform the AS.
otlated Pres that the matter of
granting a pas.'pjrt to the Flllp!nos who
applied f'ir one y-Mterday had to h?
referred to Washington, as It was the
first t'.me such an application had been
made by persons of this nationality.
The Filipinos desired to travel in Rus
sia, and though the applicants took the
oath of allegiance to the United State
In Spanish and English, the embassy
considered It advisable to submit th
matter by cable to Washington, as It
has frequently done when passports
were requested. The embassy Is now
awaiting reply. The applicants were
quite contented, and thanked the offi
cials of the embassy for the action
taken.
THE PRESIDIO RIOT.
Soldiers Claimed One of Their Comrades
Was Drugged.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 1. The mob
of soldiers, who last night wrecked
Mrs. Powers' saloon, one of the many
drinking places Just outside the Pre
sidio reservation, numbered five or six
hundred.
There are a great many conflicting
stcrles as to the origin of the trouble.
The soldiers of the Forty-slr'.h In
fantry were muster?d out of the ser
vice yesterday and the men given their
discharges and pay. Most of the men
had several hundred lollars coming to
them and tbey did considerable drink
Ing In the Presidio resorts.
A man by the name of Morgan, of
the Forty-sixth, was found unconscious
In the front of Mrs. Powers' saloon
Two of Morgan's company mates took
him to camp for treatment The doctor
pronounced it a case where drugs had
been administered. The news spread
ranidlv about the oamp and soon there
were a dozen or more men runn'ng' to
Mrs. Powers' saloon. They demanded
reparation for the drugging of their
comrade but any knowledge of the af
fair was denied. Two or three ex-soU
dlerj lounging about In the place sid
ed in with the woman and ordered the
Midlers from the premise. They want
back for re-lnforc amenta and spread
he report that two of their compan
Ions had been killed In the saloon.
A mob" male up of members of the
Forty-fifth and Forty-gixth regtmnU
then rushed pell mell through the Pre
sidio gates to the saloon. Stones were
gathered on the way and then tbe place
was stormed. Every window In the
olace was brokin. the bar and fix
tures smashed and the interior demol
ished completely. The gas Jets were
snapped off and the coal oil lamps over
turned. The place caught fire and police broke
throneb, the crowd and rang the fire
alarm. By that time the Infuriated men
were yelling to burn the place and
lynch the one helpless man, Harrlsi, Who
had been driven from the place. Offlcers
irled to rush Harris through the crowd
but were stopped. In spite of the ef
forts of the police to protect Harris,
the soldiers beat and cut him terri
bly. Finally, when the squadron of
cavalry and provost guard of sixty
men from the Forty-fifth regiment, un
der command of Captain Evans, arriv
ed, a passage was made through the
crowd and Harris taken to a safe place.
The efforts of the cavalry and guard
to disperse the crowd were futile un
til the fire hose was turned on. This
and the entire guard of the post help
ed to restore order.
Mrs. Powers estimated the damage at
$2000. Not a thing was left Intact In
the saloon.
A careful Investigation of the reports
that some of the soldiers had died from
drugged liquor proved that such was
not the case. Margan, of the Forty
sixth regiment was the only man whom
it is thought might have been the vic
tim of a drug.
An Investigation of the riot will be
made today by the police . and mili
tary officials.

LINCOLN, June 1. Taking for bis
text-word "Emperor McKlnley," W. J.
Bryan tonight gave out an extended
statement bearing on the supreme court
decision In the Insular cases.
Bryan frankly admits that the court
verdict is extremely distasteful to him,
and the language he employs is more
vigorous than Is customary, even for
blm. He boldly declares that the su
preme court has Joined hands with the
president and congress In an effort to
change our form of government and he
calls on the people to repudiate the ver
dict. Bryan says In part:
"By a vote of five to four the supreme
court has declared President McKlnlev
emperor of Porto Rico, and, according
to the press dispatches, the emperor has
gladly and gratefully accepted the title
conferred upon him by tbe highest Judi
cial tribunal of the land.
'This decision raises a political issue
which must be settled by the people.
The supreme court has Joined with the
president and congress In an attempt to
change the form of our government,
but there yet remains an appeal to t&
people." .
