bore and on the coutltlcnt In having n sur
telt of scandal lnvolvltiK royalty and nobil
ity. On top of tlio discovery that the duke and
duchess of Marlborough had been estranged
comes the news that the young queen of
Holland has been made furious because of
complications growing out of her husband's
dcblB.
It Ih nlso reported, then denied nnd ngaln
reaffirmed, that tho king nnd queen of
Portugal have repnratod.
Queen Wllhelmlnu has been bothered by
monry-lcndern of Berlin nnd Frankfort and
by various trndesmon In Ocrmany to whom
the prince consort. Duko Henry Vladimir
Albert Ernest of Mcckleuburg-Schwerln. Is
Indebted. Tho ennsequonco has been several
unpleasant domestic scenes nt the roynl
castle of Hct Loo. Tho duke, who wan only
25 when ho married. February 7, wns n
member of tho Prussian Llfo Guards nnd cf
tho Mecklenburg KiiHlllers. nnd led n pretty
Kay nnd extrnvagant life. Now his bachotor
prodigality has come lo haunt him when ho
Is hardly out of his honeymoon.
Uureu Continue FriiKnl.
Ho was lard pressed by hungry creditors
after Queen Wllhelmlnu announced, October
17, 1000, that sho had chosen him for her
husband. Tho sharks pushed him In tho
belief that ho would prevail lipou the frugal
queen to open hor pursestrlngs. Ho prom
ised them, bo they nsscrt, thnt ho would bot
tle one-third of his debts a month before
his marriage. He did not pay, and tho crcd
Horn hnvo not been nblo to get a gulden out
of him. Then the money-lenders mado
formal application to Queen Wllholmtnn.
Tim queen replied thnt her husband must
pay his own debts, that u sufficient allow
ance tail been mndo to him for tho purpose.
Tho duko pleaded Inability to pay, but the
queen was obdurate.
.llune -Lender Form Syudlratr.
The money-lenders prepared a coup. They
formed n nyodloji.ooii.iiovY-ftBOOunco that
tho epecula'tlvo" comblnV'lhat has taken up
tho duke'tt paper will negotiate It on the
Amsterdam bourse. The publicity nnd scan
dal certain to follow has made the queen
furious.
Duko Henry had no money when he mar
ried. It was u lovo match. Tho queen
bad a look nt all of the eligible young
men nnd picked out tho olllcer from the
llttlo duchy of Mecklenburg nnd n favor I in
of tho ' German emperor, In whoso army
ho served. It was supposed that the Dutch
chamber would do something handsomo
when that body ratified the engagement,
according to tho demands of the law. With
characteristic frugality the statesmen
agreed that as tho queen was immensely
wealthy by Inheritance from her father nnd
hud nlso $15,000,000 a year from tho civil
lists sho wus amply able to provide for her
Impecunious husbund. So It was decided
that should tho queen dlo before her hus
band ho should hnvo un annuity of $8,000
a year for life, ami while bIio lived nothing.
Tho queen then enmo to tho relief of her
husband nnd mado him an nllowauco of
$50,000 a your. The duko needs nil this ap
parently for his Immediate necessities.

A telegram from Lisbon today says that

KING'S GIFT TO AMERICAN

(Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, April 22. (Now York World
Cablegram Spcclnl Telegram.) The World
correspondent hears that the king has
given White Lodge nt Richmond park to
Mrs. Hartman, the well known American
member of smart- society, who resides In
Uorkeley square. This gift Is a most ex
traordinary nnd unexpected development,
ns Whlto Lodge has ndwnys been tho most
leslrnblo of all the royal residences. As'do
from the monarch It was Inst tenanted by
tho duko und duchess of Teck and It is
known that It has been tho dearest wish of
tho duchess of York to get back her old
home.
Mrs. Hartman, who is elderly, with n
married son, though little mentioned, has
long been on friendly terms with tho
king, who as prince of Wales was much
fought after by tho Marlborough houso sot.
The gift will create a perfect furore when
It becomes known here. Tho World corre
spondent learned from a person very ner
to tho king that tho explanation Is that
Mrs. Hartman enjoys the king's complete
confidence, has ndong Income to enable her
to maintain Whlto Lodge In proper stylo
nnd tho king can rely upon her to Invite
tho right sort of people thero whenever he
wnnts to Beck seclusion, which tho Whlto
Lodge, though much nenrer London, af
fords to a for greater extent than Windsor.
This arrangement Is another evidence of
the king's masterful self-assertion, will
cause endless gossip and will probably be
unpopular ns a revival of tho case of utiliz
ing state property for prlvoto ends.

LONDON, April 22. According to a dls-
patch from St. Petersburg to tho Dally

that renewed military activity Is beginning
In Manchuria. Chinese troops nro strongly

Admiral AlexieU has accordingly ordered
an expedition under General Zerplnsky, con
slstlng of two regiments nnd five sotnlas
of Cossacks, sixteen guns and a body ot
volunteers to operato against tho threo
points mentioned. The first movement wns
successfully carried out In the beginning of
April. Kulo, which Is 250 kilometers from
Mukden, was stormed and tho ex-governor
of Mukden wns taken prisoner. In this
action tho Russians had thirteen men killed
nnd tour officers and eighteen men wounded.
The advance toward tho Turchausen po
sition was then begun.
Owing to tho departure of most of the
Russian troops from Mukden tho latter
city has becomo very unsafe. Almost

Hamilton, l'ralrlc Chicken, Matthew Tyndall
and Harvey Worner, Interpreter. Through
Mr. Chnso and Harvey Warner tho Omaha
delegation laid before tho assistant com
missioner two questions which they nuked
to havo considered. First, that tho com
missioner ot Indian affairs should mako a
recommendation for Investigation of the
claim which they held against tho govern
ment growlug out of tho treaty of 1S5I,
which defined tho boundaries of their res
ervation In Thurston county and which
they claim may not run according to tho
lines laid down lu tho treuty. Second, a
proposition which Is exceedingly vital lo
tho Omahns ns n people, especially to tho
active and more enlightened of tho tribe,
tho question whether they will havo to
tnko their lands in fee or whether tho
government wil permit them to contlnuo
under tho present conditions. Tho
Omahas want u bill pnsscd by congress per
mitting tho president to dcslgnato when
thoy shall accept n full patent from the gov
ernment for their lands Instead of being
compelled to take a feo slmplo In 1907, tho
date provided for In special net ullotlng the
Omnha lands. In all other enses this right
ot designation when tho feo slmplo should
pass was vested in tho president at the
end of twcnty-flvo years, but in tho Omnha
case congress failed bo 'to dcslgnato and
that has raised tho question now presented.

John S. Mnllory of tho Forty-llrst volunteer

Lieutenant Gilbert A. Youngbeig of tho
Third artillery, and Mr. Fisher, General

Agulnaldo, whoso bearing was courteous
nnd dignified, wus dressed In white, looked
well and altogether mado an excellent Im
pression. Lcgnrdo, who but recently re
turned from thu United Stntcs, wus telling
him nbout tho trip, and ho seemed In
tensely interested, smiling frequently nud
asking numerous questions. Ho Inqullcd
particularly ns to what President McKlnley
said nnd seemed unxlous to know what
wns thought of him In tho United States.
Ho wns ruthor reluctunt to talk for pub
lication nnd considered every queutlon care
fully before answering. Ho said ho was
doing all ho could to assist In tho pacifica
tion of the Philippines and expressed him
self us surprised ut what tho Americans
had accomplished. When ho wns first cap
tured, ho wont on to say, ho wus gtcutly
astonished to find that n majority of (no
Filipinos entertained tho opinion that
American sovereignty was preferable to
independence, hut now ho wns Inclined to
believe thnt way himself. Ho explained
that slnco tho dissolution ot tho Insurgent
congress nnd tho drctnratlon of guerrilla
warfaro tho chiefs bad operated to all In
tents and purposes Independently. Thoy
recognized him ns commander-in-chief,
sending him reports occasionally, and ho
Issued somo orders; but for tho last seven
months communication had bec-a difficult
and ho bad beou almost disconnected, 1
I Mtrtiniceat Poralliln Term,
'I nm now urging In tho Btrongcst pos
sible manner,' said Agulnaldo, "that all In-
eurgents should surrender and swear alio-
glauco to thollultcd States."
Ho expressed tho opinion that Tlnlo, Lus-
ban, Malvar und other representative In
surgents will surrender as soon as they
como to understand tho nnturo of amnesty
offered. Ho Buld he hoped that when tho
work ot paclflcntlon was completo nnd con
ditions wero settled tho prisoners In Guam
would bo released.
After referring in grateful terms to tho
courteous trcatmont accorded him by tho
military authorities, ho doclarcd his con
viction that tho civil government which
would follow pucillcatlon would rcnllzo tho
highest hopes of tho Filipino people.
When questioned regarding tho report
thnt ho would visit tho United States, ho
replied that ho would Uko to do so, but
had mado no plans ns yet, placing himself
entirely at tho disposition ot tho United
States government.
In concluding tho Interview ho observed:
"Every word in my address to my coun
trymen, tho Filipinos, camo from my heart.
hope tho Americans beltovo mo thor
oughly In my slncero efforts to sccuro
peace, and, under American auspices to
promote tho wclfaro and prosperity of the
Philippines."
