TROUBLE FOR SPAIN
In a Fair Way to Lose
Phillipine Islands.
the
A CONSPIRACY IS DISCOVERED
.laprni Haiti to Ka at the Kottuin of the
Trnll---I'lltlcat National
Nv
IIadbiu, Aug. 31. Au official dispatch
from Manilla announces the discovery
in the Phillipine islands of a separatist
conspiracy, the -object 'being to secure
independence from Spain. According to
the official advice, 21 persona have al
ready been arrested, several being Free
Masons. The news has . caused great
excitement in Madrid, and the police in
consequence tonight raided the Hispano
Phillipini Club and seized a large quan
tity of papers.
It is suggested by some of the papers
that Japan is endeavoring to foment
trouble in that part of the Spanish pos
sessions for the purpose of extending the
jurisdiction of her island empire over
the Phillipine islands. The islands lie
only about 250 miles south of the newly
acquired Japanese possessions of Formo
sa, a number of small islands interven
ing. Spain's army in the Phillipine
islands is estimated at seven regiments
of infantry and one of artillery, with a
squad of cavalry, the effective force be
ing 684 officers and about 50,000 men.
While commenting on the outbreak in
the Phillipine islands in tbe senate to
day, Sencr Castellano, minister for the
colonies, read several telegrams from the
governor of the islands, Captain-General
Blanco. These telegrams were that the
conspirators aimed to secure the com
plete independence of the Phillipine
islands.
Senor Montero Rico declared that the
liberal party was prepared to support all
government measures necessary for the
maintenance of Spanish integrity.
Nearly all of the .opposition leaders in
the chamber made similar promises.

reduction of $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 in
tomorrow's reserve in the bank state
ment and a corresponding heavy shrink
age of deposits, encouraged the expecta
tion of an early iseue of clearing-house
certificates by the banks. It - was re
ported that a meeting of the clearing
house company had been called to take
action. A careful canvass of the
leading bank officials elicited the un
animous expression of opinion that
there was no need for the issue of cer
tificates at present and that such issue
will only be made in case of extreme ne
cessity. No meeting has been called to
consider the issue ot certificates.
A banker in close touch with the mer
cantile situation says that undoubtedly
some merchants need money, bet most
of the large maturities passed off all
right with the first of the month and
most of the weaker concerns have al
ready boen weeded out. A limited mar
ket is reported today for choice grades
of mercantile paper at 8 per cent. Time
money is an unknown quantity at 6 per
cent and commissions. . -
Interesting Experiment Performed
Cliarlea Lautsop.
Portland, Me., Aug. 21. Charles L
Lamson performed a feat here yesterday
practically demonstrating that a large
airship or kite capable of carrying a man
can be floated successfully and steadily
He raised his ship with a dummy man
on it 600 feet. The retaining rope broke
when tbo ship, was at that altitude.
Had it not been for this break Mr.
Lamson would have sent np a man to
navigate his ship. As it was, W. A
Eddy, an authority on aerial expert
ments, declared that Lameon's achieve
ment was the greatest step toward eolv
ing the problem of aerial navigation of
the age. Two records, at all events,
Lameon made. He flew the largest kite
or airship ever floated ; he carried by
means of this kite the heaviest weight to
the greatest altitude on record.
The kite when in. the air resembles
two large boxes parallel to each other
and attached in the middle. It took
fifteen men to carry the ship into the
field from which it was to be sent up
The retaining cord was a large braided
window cord, tested to pull 500 pounds
This was made fast to a huge reel, and
four men attended to it.
About 400 feet of rope was run along
the ground and at a signal from Lamson
the ship was released. It quivered s
moment, and then steadily rose skyward
Seated on the car of the ship was a dum
my, weighted to 150 pounds. The ship
carried it with great - ease.. - The
hip rose to an altitude of' 600 feet, and
was rising steadily when with a sudden
gust of wind the rope broken showing
what a tremendous pressure was brought
upon it by the ship. The ship floated
out a half a mile and descended as easily
and gracefully as it went up. Had
man been in the car he would not have
been harmed in the slightest. ' ' '

people. It is only by discussion of the
questions that confront them that they
can learn properly to exercise 'their
right of franchise. They have the right
to discuss these questions and the court
will protect them."
The court also criticised the policy of
the police in Interfering with these
street-corner talks by using the ordi
nance against sidewalk obstruction as an
engine of oppression. He warned ttie
officers that further arrests would be use
less, as the defendants would not be pun
ished. The financial debates are still
being held.
AN IEfFANT MONSTROSITY. -
HEAVY GOLD WITHDRAWALS.
Four Millions Kecently Left the San
Francisco Subtreasurjr.
San Feancisco, Aug. 21. Cashier
Burns, at the United States eubtreaeury
here, says that during the recent month
tnere Das been withdrawn $4,UUU,UUO in
gold from the subtreasury in exchange
for greenbacks and other ' currency
This large withdrawal is entirely unpre
cedented, but according to bankers , but
a small proportion of the gold has found
ts way out of the state. One of the
bankers of the city estimated that not
over $ 500,000 of this gold had gone East.
The remainder is in the vaults of Cal
ifornia banking institutions. .
Inquiry was made in. many quarters
to aasertain reasons for the withdrawal
from the subtreasury. The answers re
ceived from conservative and well-in
formed men all tended to show -one fact
of significance, which is that tLe local
money ' situation has been greatly
strengthened during the period of the
transferring of the gold from the sub
treasury to tbe bank vaults, because at
least $1 ,000,000' has been added to money
in the city and probably a much greater
sum than that.
The $1,000,000 represents the sale of
government bonds in New York by Cal
ifornia parties and the transference of
the proceeds to this city. The money
received for the bonds was presented at
the subtreasury and there converted
into gold, which has gone into bank
vaults.
SIDEWALK ORATORS UPHELD.
Elght-M onths-Old Male Cbild Diea of
Old Age.
' St. Louis, Aug. 21. Sherman Robert
Burch died of senile debility at the age
of 8 months. The child was born last
December, and on Monday died of old
age. - He had passed through all the in
tellectual phases that' are common to
mankind, but so rapidly that be had no
time nor . opportunity to gather the
knowledge that comes of experience and
precept or the wisdom born of thought.
His brain developed and then withered
with a rapidity comparable only to the
growth and decay of Jonah's gourd.
The face and head of the cbild made
a striking'feature. Tbe head was wedge
shaped, broad at tbe top and tapering to
a point at the chin. It was surmounted
by a crop of dark brown hair, rather
scant, but etrong and of full size. It
was not such hair as grows on the head
of an 8-month8-oId baby. It was strong
and coarse as that of a man of mature
age. On the upper lip was a slight mus
tache, plainly outlined, .while all over
the face a straggling beard was discernible.
'The baby- was unusually bright,"
said the father.- "He began to notice
almost as soon as he was born,' and by
the time he was a week old he seemed to
know as much' as his older brotber, who
was a year old. He did not try to talk,
but would look at you as though he knew
what you were thinking about. He
never did look like a cbild, nor act like
one. He was a little old man."

resting' Politicians.
Indianapolis, Aug. 21. For 10 days
a great crowd has collected on the post
office corner discussing tbe financial
question of the present campaign. The
discussion frequently lasts until mid
night. As fast as one speaker wearies
another fills the gap. The police made
numerous and futile efforts to ecatter the
disputants and finally made several ar
rests. ' Two cases came before Judge Cox
of the city court, and the last time with
mnch impatience, he discharged the de.
fendants; holding there was no decision
by any court, high or low, where it is
held that a man violates the law by dis
cussing politics on the street.
1 "On the contrary," continued the
court, "all of the decisions are the other
way. - The right of free speech is funda
mental in our constitution and must not
be denied.- No police' force can slop it.
It is the right of American citizens.
