that tbo present cabinet has decided In the
event of the acquittal of Dreyfua at Hennes
which is regarded as almost a certainty to
hush up the whole scandal. This Is con

question with which France will be con

an Innocent man would no : destroy con

LAS VEGAS , N. M. , July 17. A fight oc
curred on Sunday near Clmarron , N. M. ,
between a posse and the FoUom train rob
bers. Several men were killed.
Marlon Lttrell , live stock Inspector , ar
rived here at 1 o'clock this afternoon , bring
ing further details of the fight at Clmar
ron , as he had learned them at Springer.
"It occurred this morning , " he said , "In
the canyon above Clmarron , In a very rough
piece of country. The news was telephoned
to Springer from Clmarron Just before I left
there. The posse was led by Sheriff Ed
Farr of Walscnburg and United States Mar
shal Foraker of New Mexico. The posse
numbered six men. The force divided , three
members advancing upon the outlaws from
opposite directions.
"One of the outlaws was & dead shot.
Sheriff Farr -was killed and Henry Love
and a man named Smith , members ot the
posse , wore wounded. Love "was hit twice ,
one shot going through his thigh. Foraker
returned to Clmarron and telephoned that
all of his posce had been wounded. "
The Identity of the outlawsIs , not known ,
but little doubt U entertained of their be
ing the men who held up the train at Folsom -
som a few days ago , and also a year or more
ago. While Mr. Litrell did not learn the
exact location ot their camp it Is believed
to have been comparatively close to Clm
arron , probably two or three miles away.
Clmarron Is a place of about 200 people ,
situated close to the mouth of the canyon ,
twenty-three mites from Springer. The
outlaws have been noticed hanging around
In the vicinity for some time past. Al
though nothing certain is known , it is
thought by members of the posse that one
or more of the outlaws , who are three In
number , have been wounded by the offi
cers.

cargo of oil , is sunk in the harbor. It VVRH
taken to Its pier In Dcford basin this

and the oil ( lowed down Into the engine
room and became. Ignited.
The crew made efforts to subdue the
flames , but were obigcd to leave the ship
to save their lives. In a short time sheets
of flame were seen rising from the steamer
In several places. The city fire brigade was
called out , fearing a general conflagration.
This danger was averted by an explosion ,
which blew a hole In the ship's side. It
careened and gradually filled with water and
sank.
The steamer now lies submerged , only Its
masts being visible , About two-thirds of the
cargo remained In the vessel at the time
of the dlsattcr and this was destroyed , A
largo area of water Is covered with blazing
oil and thousands of people have been at

WASHINGTON , July 17. Regarding oUte-
rronM that cable dispatches received In
Washington and other news regarding the
war hnd been censored contrary to the usual
custom , Adjutant General Corbln todny
salil :
"Yes , three complalntn have been brought
to my notice , so a weld of explanation la
due the country , not less than the depart
ment. The enormous amount ofork the
office has been called upon to perform has
taxed to the limit ( ho endurance of the

as any that can bo found anywhere. Com
plaints were made by several ot the assist
ants and clerks that our clerks were being
annoyed and their time taken from legiti
mate work by direct application for Informa
tion from people In no nay connected with
the ofTlco or the public service. AS a mat
ter ot protection of the public Interests and
good administration , the order of Juno 22
was Issued.
"Tho censure of the so-called censored
press la without just cause and evidently
made under misapprehension , There has
been no Information received from General
Otla that has not been given to the press
promptly on the bulletin board In the hall
of this office , every fair-minded representa
tive of the preen will bear witness to this
statement. What would the manager of
any one of the complaining papers nay If
Information concerning the business was In
quired tor of the printers rather than at the
business office ot the paper ? This Is a case
exactly In point.
"The standing Instructions of the presi
dent and secretary of war are that the puo-
llc shall be given all Information we ro-
relve ; this has been done and will continue
to be done. Of course , plans of campaigns
that would be ot help to Agulnaldo and other
icbels hove not and will not be promulgated ,
but all facts nf events transpired have been

HI cur of the CciiNomlilii.
MANILA , July 11. ( Via Hong Kong , July
17. ) The constantly Increasing strictness of
the censorship of press dispatches' from
Manila , which has prevented the cabling to
the United States ot anything that did not
reflect official views of Important events and
conditions , resulted In a united effort on the
part of the correspondents here to secure an
abatement of Hie rigor of the censorship.
The Initiative In this direction was taken a
month ago and resulted In the framing of a
statement which was presented on Sunday ,
July 9 , to Major General Otis , commanding
the military' forces ot the United States In
the Philippines Islands , with a request for
permission to telegraph It to the United
States.
The correspondents also asked that they
be allowed to cable to their respective papers
all facts and the different phases of events
as they transpired here. The correspond
ents had two long Interviews with General
Otis , In the course of which they complained
that the evident purpose of the censorship
was not to keep Information from the en
emy , but to keep from the public a knowl
edge ot the real conditions of affairs here.
It was aUo asserted by th'e correspondents
tbot newspapers printed In Manila which
reach the enemy quickly are permitted to
publish statements similar to those which
correspondents are forbidden to cable. It
was made clear to General Otis that the
objection was to the system and not to the
censor.
General Otis finally promised greater lib
erality , agreeing to pass all matter that he
might consider not detrimental to the Inter
ests of the United States. General Otis ap
pointed Captain Green of his staff censor.
Tho. statement of the correspondents Is ae
follows :
CoiuIltlonN Are Not Truly Roenlcd ,
The underslstned. being all staff corre
spondents of American newspapers sta
tioned In Manila , unite In .tho following
statement :
Wo believe that , owing to official dis
patches from Manila made public In Wash
ington , the people of the United States have
not received a correct Impression of the
situation In the Philippines , but that these
dispatches havepiesentod an ultra-optlmls-
tlc view that IB not shared by the general
officers In the field.
Wo believe that the dispatches Incorrectly
represent the existing conditions among the
Philippines In respect 'to ' dissension and
demoralization resulting from the American
campaign and to the brigand character of
the army.
We believe the dispatches err In the dec
laration that "the situation Is well In hand , "
and the assumption that the Insurrection
can be speedily ended wtlhout a greatly In
creased force.
Wo think the tenacity of the Filipino pur
pose has been underestimated and that the
statements are unfounded that volunteers
are willing to engage In further service.
The censorship has compelled us to par
ticipate In this misrepresentation by excis
ing or altering uncontrovcrted statements of
facts on the olea , as General Otis utated ,
< that "they would alarm the people at
homo" or "have the people of the United
States bv the cars. "

WASHINGTON , July 17. The publication
of the war correspondents' formal Indictment
of General Otis' management of the Phil'
Ipplno campaign caused a sensation In the
departments here. Secretary Hay had re
ceived advices as laic as today from civil as
well as military aources In the Philippines
which lol him to declare that the situation
there was certainly Improved materially and
Iho prospects'for the future had brightened
very much , With' th e advices the secre
tary ald General Otis had had nothing to do
and they were from disinterested persons
whoso opinions must carry weight. There
was some disinclination by oinclals to dis
cuss this la t "round robin " General Miles ,
who was acting 01 secretary ot war In the
absence ot Secretary Alger and Assistant
Secretary Melklejohn , would not comment
on the dispatch and Adjutant General Cor-
bin took the same attitude.
GENERAL FUNSTON FOR PEACE
Filipino * Ahiiftcd mid UeceUed So
LOUR They Mnxt He llniullril
Carefully.
CHICAGO. July 17.A special to tht
Tribune from San Francisco sajs.
Hounsevlllo Wllilraan , consul at Hong
Kong , during a visit to Manila , Interviewed
Ilrigadler General Funstou of the Twentieth
Kansas. General Funston Is reported as
follows , referring to subjugation of Philip-
liincu :
"I believe at present that there should
bo a little IMS gunpowder and more diplo
macy. Filipinos are no doubt Impressed by
the former In a manner they will remember.
I think that wo should consider them as
children and treat with them accordingly.
Grant them some concessions , which are
seemingly of great Importance to them.
Give them some assurance and actual dem
onstration of our good will and friendship
for them and their welfare , win them Into
our confidence. It can ba done. And In
such a way that never again will there be
rebellion against us In the Island.
"To win confidence of people misgoverned
as these people have been under Spanish
regime , we must give them better govern
ment. A civil government should be es
tablished at once , backed up with strong
military not less than the strength of the
mllltaiy forces now here. The military
should be Independent nd separate from
civil government , but standing ready to
carry Into execution edicts and laws of the
civil authorities , should It be necessary they
be called upon to do so.
"I believe the backbone In this Insurrec
tion Is broken ; In fact , we have given the
Insurgents such a sound whipping that with
any other people the Insurrection would be
ended.
"If the Filipinos do not give up by the
end of the rainy season I am In favor of the
government bringing 100,000 men here and
make short work of ending any further re
sistance. Though I believe a little diplo
macy at this time would go a long way
toward settling the trouble and bringing
peace and consequent prosperity to these
unfortunate Islands.
"Strange as It mar seem , I am almost 'a
peace at any price' man. When life and
property can be saved It Is almost crime not
to follow that rule , whatever circumstances
bo arguing against It. I am a republican ,
but I am an anti-expansionist , though not a
bitter one more of a mild one. I think the
acquisition of Porto Rico and other islands
In the West Indies will be valuable In the
future decvlopment of our country. I think
well ot foe acquisition of the Sandwich
Islands. I bellc'vo they make good outposts ,
but when we consider the Philippines I be
lieve It to be a mistake.
"Big syndicates and capitalists will be
greatly benefited by the retention of these
Islands , but outside of a few exceptional
Individual cases I can eeo no advantage In
their possession by the United States. The
islands are EO thickly populated and labor
ro cheap there certainly Is no Inducement
for the American laborer.
"There will probably bo large sugar , hemp ,
rice and tobacco plantations , which will
greatly increase tbo extent of exports , but
with all these Is the underlying feeling that
Is Irrepressible to a soldier who ban fought
over any territory , foot by foot , and resists
the thought of ever giving It up and hauling
down his flag. I have fought In Cuba for
Independence of Cubans , but somehow I
want to eee Cuba part of America.
"I am pleased with the Philippine country.
It Is fertile , and the further we have ad
vanced Into the Interior the more beautiful
and productive lias appeared the land. The
soil Is rich and capable of the beet produc
tions. I have no doubt there are valleys
among the mountains that are the richest
possibilities In the world.
"While the country over which we passed
( as far as San Fernando ) Is already under
cultivation , yet with modern Implements
and Ideas of farming the country could be
made to produce In excess of what It does
now , both In quality and quantity of Ua
present yield. "
"How would you compare the Cubans , gen-
era. ! , with the Filipinos ? "
"Well , they nre altogether different people ,
though somewhat similar In physique.
Cubana are quite euperlor to Filipinos ; they
nro a braver and more capable people. You
see , tlio bettor class of Cubans have n higher
order ot intelligence than the best class
here , U Is a. little unfair to Cubans to make
comparison. "
