Condition of Affairs at The Hague Conference. SOME TANGIBLE RESULTS EXPECTED International Arbitration Idea Appears to Be Taking Definite Shape—All the Dele gatee Seem to Favor It—German Who leaned a Ilelllcoea Pamphlet Tries to Square Himself. THE HAGl’E, May 22.—(New York "World Cablegram.)—W’hatever may happen to the proposals for a restraint of armaments, It Is generally felt by the peace delegates here that the con ference will attain some tangible re sults In the direction of International arbitration. Ambassador White and Seth Low have both been impressed by the favorable tendency displayed In unofficial conversations by the dele gates of European powers toward the arbitration Idea. Germany, which is entirely opposed to checking Its arma ments, Is among the supporters of any practicable scheme for settling Inter national differences by means of an international tribunal. The section of the conference to which arbitration and mediation will be remitted for a report will be the strongest of the three main sections, and it is signifi cant that the chamber detailed as its place of meeting Is the largest, as It is evidently expected the attendance will "be fuller than at the others. The transformation of the feeling that has taken place since the assem bling of the conference and the begin ning of the preparations for actual work are a little short of marvelous. Probably not a delegate on arriving here entertained the expectation that anything fruitful would issue from the conference, whose existence they re garded merely as a compliment to the czar s pulsance. But now that Is all ■changed. An earnest, sincere and well meaning spirit is observable and even the German delegate, Stengel, is fever ishly anxious to explain away his bel licose pamphlet, which gave such a sinister complexion to his appointment as one of the German representatlv* s. Baroness von Suttner. the famous Austrian peace advocate, who, though unaccredited, occupies a position equalling In Influence that of any del egate here, said yesterday: I have no fear that the conference will be fruitless. The czar’s influence is too strong and the delegates are only now realizing that his proposal was not a dream, but an attempt to realize the highest idea of practical statesmanship.” M. <le Bloch, whose work on war ad mittedly helped to give an Impulse to the czar s tnind which has eventuated In assembling this momentous gather ing. said: It is the first step that counts. It Is impossible that this assemblage of experienced statesmen and diplomat ists can discuss the points of the czar’s circular without discerning how easily measures can be concerted to obviate war. No definite proposal may emerge, perhaps, from these deliber ations. but they will set the nations thinking on the greatest problem of civilization until a solution is .ound I have seen all the chief delegates here and have exchanged views with them. Their instructions I gather in most cases leave much to their discre tion, and there Is plain evidence that all the great powers are entertaining the conference with an honest desire to consider fully and fairly any rea sonable suggestions that may be brought forward.” Prepare Cabans for the Hallot. HA\ ANA. May 22.—Senor Domingo Mendez Capote, secretary of the gov ernment. has been devoting consid erable time to a study of the electoral laws of various nations with a view to formulating plans for their inaugu ration here. Universal suffrage is considered advisable in some respects, but it would have many objectionable features. On the other hand, Senor Capote thinks an educational qualifi cation would not prove satisfactory, unless sufficiently comprehensive to exclude those taught especially for elections. Hp says thp Cuban lpagup is doing much in thp way of prepar ing the voters to exercise the elec toral function. The grpat objection to a property qualification is that a majority of those citizens who formerly had prop erty, the Spaniards in particular, and many capable Cubans, have been to tally ruined during the last three years and would not be Justly treated were a property qualification enforced. Senor Capote is carefully considering the problem nnd will submit his views to General Brooke about the middle of next month, when he will ask for the issuance of such a decree as he will then have in readiness.

May 22.-The Filipino commissioners, who arrived here oa Saturday to negotiate with the United States commissioners, held a confer ence this morning with Messrs. Schur man, Worcester and Renby. They «ay they are without power to bind the so-called Filipino government In any particular and can only refer any re sults of the present negotiations to Aguinaldo. 8:40 p. m.—The Filipino commis sioners, General Gregorle del Pilar, Lieutenant Colonel Alberto Barretto, Maor Zeallta and Senor Grado Gonza ga, with their families, spent today in visiting friends in Manila and confer red with 8enor Floertino Torres, Pablo Ocampo and Teodore Yanco, the mem bers of the local Filipino association, which will participate In the meetings with the Americans. Senor Torres was a member of Agulnaldo’s commission before the war. He proposes inde pendence and favors autonomy, and he has been most influential in per suading the followers of Aguinaldo to make the present advances. Autonomy is the burden of the talk of the Filipinos and if it is thought that what they wish for would be little different from an American protector ate, which they talked of before the war. Senor Paterno, who has suc ceeded the irreconcilable Mabinl ss president of the Filipino so-called cab inet, is a student and a writer of anil ity. He once drew up a plan of au tonomy under Spain, which the Span ish government promised to adoift, there being a troublesome rebellion on foot. The American commissioners in studying the question of Prillpplne government have found several good points in this scheme. Paterno Is now the strong man in Agulnaldo’s party. All the moneyed leaders of the In surrection see that It is hopeless and are anxious for peace. Those who want money think they may profit by harrasslng the Americans a while longer. On the suggestion of Mr. Sehnrmnn, president of the American commission, the local Filipino peace party has started a newspaper. Mujor Kobbo's expedition to open communication with General 1-awton has occupied Arayat, about seven miles beyond Canaba, on the Uio Grande, following the course of the stream. No insurgents were found there and the Parapangas along the river are friendly. Last Friday Ma jor Kobbe took Santana, about six miles northeast of San Fernando, on the road to San Isidro. A priest met the expedition with a white flag. Delegations from San Nicolas and Santiago, small villages Just south of Arayat, came to him with the news that 200 insurgents who had been holding both place3 had withdrawn. They invited the Americans to enter and as the members of the expedition marched the church bells were rung and the timid who had fled flocked back The Third Nebraska. LINCOLN,' Neb., May 22—Colonel Vifquain of the Third Nebraska vol unteers today received the following letter in response to his telegrum to President McKinley from New York on May 12: My Dear Sir: The president has received your recent dispatch from New York, the contents of which he has noted with interest. He directs me to thank you and through you the men of the Third Nebraska regiment, for the patriotic tender of their fur ther services, and to say that if he has occasion to call for volunteers he will gladly remember the offer. GEORGE H. CORTELYOIT, Assistant Secretary to the President, Plan* for Currency Reform. WASHINGTON. May 22.—It is un derstood that the house republican caucus committee appointed to frame a scheme of currency reform has agreed upon a measure along the fol lowing lines: The redemption of all obligations of the government in gold on demand. Greenbacks, when once redeemed for gold, to be reissued only for gold. Permitting national banks to issue notes to the par value of their gov ernment bonds deposited in the treas ury. instead of 90 per cent, as at present. Permtiting the minimum capital of national banks to be $25,000 instead of $50,000, as at present. rhln**MA for tlir ¥.x poult Ion. PHILADELPHIA. Pa., May 22—The director general of the International exposition of the Philadelphia Com mercial museum has obtained permis sion from Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Spaulding in the matter of the admission of 450 Chinese men, women and children to populate the Chinese village at the exposition. Sec retary Spaulding, In giving the des'red permission, telegraphed that the names of the importations must be furnished in advance to the treasury department, and upon their arrival at San Francisco a written description and photograph of each must be deliv ered to the collector there, ('■tit* Until* fur KimiuiI-I t>.

"Then the poor commodore's pro phecy has been fulfilled!" observed Philip to Krantz. "Many others, and even the admiral himself, have per ished with him—-peace be with them! And now let us get away from this ! horrible place as soon as possible." Philip then gave orders to the of ficer to collect his men, and the pro visions that remained, for immediate embarkation, Krantz followed soon after with all the boat, and before night everything was on board. The bodies of the admiral and commodore were buried where they lay, and the next morning the Dort was under way, and with a slanting wind was laying a fair course through the Straits, to ward Batavia, and anchored in the roads three weeks after the combat had taken place. He found the remainder of the fleet, which had been dispatched before them and had at rived there re cently, had taken In their cargoes and were ready to sail for Holland. Philip wrote his dispatches. In which he com municated to the directors the events of the voyage; and then went on shore to reside at the house of the merchant who had formerly received him, until t~e Dort could be freighted for her voyage home. CHAPTER XXII. The cargo of the I)ort was soon ready, and Philip sailed and arrived at Amsterdam without any further ad venture. That he reached his cottage, and was received with delight by Amine, need hardly Lo said. She had been expecting him; for the two ships of the squadron, which had sailed on his arrival at Batavia, and which had charge of his dispatches, had, of course, carried letters from him dur ing his voyages. Six weeks after the letters, Philip himself made his ap pearance, and Amine was happy. The directors were, of course, highly sat isfied with Philip's conduct, and he was appointed to the command of a large armed ship, which was to pro ceed to India in the spring, and one* third of which, according to agree ment, was purchased by Philip out of the funds which he had in the hands of the company. He had now five months of quiet and repose to pass away previous to his orce more trust ing to the elements; ami this time, as It was agreed, he had to make arrange ments on board for tte reception of Amine. The winter passed rapidly away, for It was passed by Philip in quiet and happiness; the spring came on, the vessel was to be fitted out, and Philip and Amine repaired to Amsterdam. The Utrecht was the name of the vessel to which he had been appointed, a ship of four hundred tons, newly launched and pierced for twenty-four guns. Two more months passed away, during which Philip superintended the fitting, and loading of the vessel, as sisted by his favorite Krantz, who served in her as first mate. Every convenience and comfort that Philip could think of was prepared for Amine; and in the month of May he started, with orders to stop at Uam broon and Ceylon, run down the Straits of Sumatra, and from thence to force his way into the China seas, the company having every reason to expect from the Portuguese the most deter mined opposition to the attempt. His ship’s company was numerous, and he had a small detachment of soldiers on board to assist the supercargo, who carried out many thousand dollars to make purchases at ports tn China, where their goods might not be ap preciated. Every care had been taken in the equipment of the vessel, which was perhaps the finest, the best manned anil freighted with the most valuable cargo, which had ever been sent out by the India Company.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON IX.. MAY 2S, JOHN 18: 28—40, 1’rlnrtpnl Text: "1 Find No Fault with Him"—These Were the Word* of Oov. Pilate When Chrlet Came fur Trial Hut Clamor Overcame Him. 28. "Then led they Jesus from Cala phas." Where the Manhedrim, under hi* leadership, had condemned Jesus to death on the charge of blasphemy. Hut as they were forbidden by Roiiian law to put any one to death, they could not accomplish their pur|>o*e without the aid of the Ho man authorities. Therefore they brought their prisoner to Pilate'* "hall of Judg ment," the I’retorlum, as It Is In the Greek. "And It was early." The word for early (prol) is used technically of the tourkh watch, from 3 to *S a. in -t must have been after the dawn. "Went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be denied.” Ceremonially unclean, and unfitted for the divine rites of the passover. "Hut that they might eat the passover." An expression which refer* not merely to the great central feast of the evening before, hut to the whole passover season,with Its voluntary peace offerings and thank-offerings. 28. "Pilate then went out unto them." Prom the Judgment hall. Into the open court, where was an elevated tessellated pavement; and, as was the custom, the chair of state was brought out for him to sit upon as Judge. The accusation. "What accusation bring ye against tht* man?” Ur. Deems emphasizes this ques tion, "What accusation do you bring against Him?" It was lie that had reason for accusing them. They were the guilty party. 30. "If lie were not a malefactor (evil doer), we would not have delivered Him up to thee." They knew they had no good charge that would stand under the Ho man luw, and therefore they wanted hint to take their word for It that He was worthy of death, and order the execution. 31. "Take ye Him and Judge Him ac cording to your law." And, of course, limit the punishment to what you can indict. “It Is not lawful for us to put any man to death.” Thus they showed their true colors. They wanted not jus tice, but the ileath of Jesus. 32. "That the say lug of Jesus" (John xIt., 32: Matt, xx., 19). The Jews, In their very efforts to destroy Jesus, were ful filling their own prophecy. 33. "Then Pilate," taking up the charge which might he construed as treason, goes hack to his throne In the hall, "anil called (summoned) Jesus.” The Jews of course were not present, as they refused to enter the hull. "Hald unto illm, Art thou the King of the Jews?" as these Jews accuse you of claiming. In all four Gospels these are the first words of Pi late to Jesus, and In all four there Is an emphasis on thou.—Cambridge Bible, As If Pilate would say, In antonlshment. Dost thou, despised, forsaken, without a single follower, without weapons or wealth, clulm to be King of these Jews? 34. "Beycst thou this of thyself, or.” etc.; 1. e„ do you ask this question from the standpoint of a Homan, referring to secular dominion, and the setting up of an opposition kingdom which would he treason, or from the standpoint of the Jewish Messlanle hopes and prophecies, rightly understood. 35. "Pilate answered (perhaps a little nettled), Am I a Jew?" What do I know of your hopes and prophecies? “Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee." Those over whom you claim to be king repudiate you. "What hast thou done?" Explain the whole af fulr clearly to mi'—what have you done to arouse such enmity? 3ti. "My kingdom.” Jesus Implies that He Is really a king. "Is not of this world.” "Its source and character are unlike those of any earthly kingdom.” "If My kingdom were of this world, then would My servants light.” "There fore It cannot, as I have said, lx- of this world.” The expression translated would • * • fight describes a continuous and violent struggle for superiority, “ag onize.” 37. “Art thou a king, then?" Do you, a poor, hopeless Jew, without friends—do you claim to be a king? “Thou sayest.” Your statement Is true. I am a king. "To thU end,” for this very purpose, to be king, "was I horn. For this cause came I unto the world.” Claiming pre existence. "That I should hear witness unto the truth." This was equivalent to His reigning as king, for It was the way He established and carried on His king dom. "Every one that is the truth heur eth My voice.” "To be of the truth Is to draw one's Inspiration from It, Just as to he of God is to he controlled by Influ ences coming from Him: and to hear the voice of Jesus Is, of course, to hearken to His words and obey His will. SS. "Pilate said unto Him. What Is truth?” "And turned on his heel and did not wait for an answer.”—Stalker. "Alethela (Truth) was a country beyond his Jurisdiction, a Ctopla which could not Injure the empire. 'Why speak to me of ideal worlds?' "—Dods. “He went cut again to the Jews." And rendered his ver dict, "I find In Him no fault," or crime. Pilate, therefore, should have released Je sus: but he had no principle, and was overborne by the angry clamors of tho rulers. He was afraid to do right. It -night cost him too much. llnr^nikIv Rmm.

CHAPTER XX.—(Continued.) That the admiral had exceeded his powers In taking the life of the officer was undeniable, as although his in structions gave him the power of life and death, still it was only to be de cided by the sentence of the court-mar tial held by the captains commanding the vessels of the lleet; he therefore felt himself justified In resistance. Hut Philip was troubled with the Idea that such resistance might lead to much bloodshed; and he was still debating how to act, when they reported to him that there was a boat coming from the admiral's ship Philip went upon the deck to receive the officer, who stated that It was the admiral's order that he should Immediately come on board, and that he must consider himself now under arrest, and deliver up his sword. “No! no!” exclaimed the ship's com pany of the Oort. “He shall not go on board. We will stand by our cap tain to the last.” “Silence, men! silence!" cried Philip. “You must be aware, sir,” Raid he to the officer, “that In the cruel punish ment of that innocent young man, the admiral has exceeded his powers; and, much as I regret to see any symptoms of mutiny and Insubordination, It must be remembered that if those In com mand disobey the orders they have re ceived, by exceeding them, they not only set the example, but give an ex cuse for those who otherwise would be bound to obey them, to do the same. Tell the admiral that hts murder of that Innocent man has determined me no longer to consider myself under his authority, and that I will hold myself as well as him answerable to the com pany whom we serve for our conduct. I do not intend to go on board and put myself in his power, that he might gratify his resentment by my igno minious death. It is a duty that I owe these men under my command to pre serve my life, that I may, if possible, preserve theirs in this strait; and you may also add that a little reflection must point out to him that this Is no time for us to war with, but to assist each other with all our energies. We are here, shipwrecked on a barren coast, with provisions insufficient for any lengthened stay, no prospect of succor, and little of escape. As the commodore truly prophesied, many more are likely to perish as well as him—and even the admiral himself may be of the number. I shall wait bis answer; if he choose to lay aside all animosity, and refer our conduct to a higher tribunal, I am willing to join with him In rendering that as sistance to each other which our sit uation requires—if not, you must per ceive, and of course will tell him, that I have those with me who will defend me against any attempt at force. You have my answer, sir, and may return on board.” , CHAPTER XXI. The officer went to the gangway, but found that none of his crew, except the bowman, were in the boat; they had gone up to gain from the men of the Dort the true hjptory of what they but imperfectly heard; and before they were summoned to return had re ceived full intelligence. They coin cided with the seamen of the Dort that the appearance of the Phantom Ship, which had occasioned their present disaster, was a judgment upon the ad miral for his conduct in having so cruelly deserted the poor commodore. Upon the return of the officer with Philip's answer, the rage of the ad miral was beyond all bounds. He or dered the guns aft, which would bear upon the Dort, to be double-shotted, and fired into her; but Krantz pointed out to him that they could not bring more guns to bear upon the Dort in their present situation, than the Dort could bring to bear upon them; that their superior force was thus neutral ized, and that no advantage could re sult from taking such a step. The admiral immediately put Krantz under arrest, and proceeded to put into exe cution his insane intentions. In this he was, however, prevented by the searneu of the Lion, who neither wish ed to fire upon their consort nor to be fired at in return. The report of the Ixtat's crew had been circulated through the ship, and the men felt too much ill-will against the admiral, und perceived at the same time the ex treme difficulty of their situation, to wish to make it worse. They did not proceed to open mutiny, but they went down batow, and when the officers or dered them up they refused to go upon deck; and the officers, who were equal ly disgusted with the admiral's con duct. merely informed him of the state of the ship's company, without naming individuals so us to excite his resent ment against anyone In particular Much wa* the state of affairs when the mOii went down Not hi us had been done on board the admiral s ship, for Krauts waa tinder arrest, and the ad miral ii,»d retired in a state of fury to his cabin In the meantime Philip and the ship's company bad not l»en idle the) had laid an anchor out astern and hove taut they had started ail the water. an*l were pumping It out. when a boat pulled alongside, and Krants made his appearance on deck Captain Vandvrdcrkca. I have coma 1*% |**ii tnv **11 )fu4i yftlvfft, if }**'i ni(| hHiiv* w»' if &4ti| rt»ii4*r mi* yvur pftttiH !U*m f*»? m Mi fat# I should have been hanged tomorrow morning If 1 had remained In my own ship. The men In the boat have come with the same Intention that of join ing you if you will permit them.” Although Philip would have wished It had been otherwise, he could not well refuse to receive Krantz under the circumstances of the rase. He was very partial to him, and to save his life, which certainly was in danger, he would have done much more. He de sired that the boat’s crew should re turn; but when Krantz had stated to him what had occurred on board the Lion, and the crew earnestly begged him not to send them back to almost certain death, which their having ef fected the escape of Krantz would have assured, Philip reluctantly allow ed them to remain. The night was tempestuous, but the wind being now off short, the water was not rough. The crew of the Dort, under the direction of Philip und Krantz, succeeded in lightening the vessel so much during the night, that the next morning they were able to haul her off, and found thut her bot tom had receive no serious Injury. It was fortunate for them that they had not discontinued their exertions, for the wind shifted a few hours before sunrise, and by the time that, they had shipped their rudder, it came on to blow fresh down the Straits, the wind being accompanied with a heavy swell. The admiral's ship lay aground, and apparently no exertions were used to get her off. Philip was much puzzled how to act; leave the crew of the Lion he could not; nor Indeed could he re fuse, nor did he wish to refuse the ad miral, If he proposed coming on board; but he now made that It should only be as a passenger, and that he would himself retain the command. At pres ent he contented hlrns'df with dropping his anchor outside, clear of the reef, where he was sheltered by a bluff cape, under which the water was smooth, about a mile distant from where the admiral’s ship lay on shore; and he employed his crew In replenishing his water-casks from a rivulet close to where the ship was anchored. He waited to see if the other vessel got off, being convinced if she did not, some communication must soon take place. As soon as the water was com plete, he sent one of his boats to the place where the commodore had been landed, having resolved to take him on board If they could find him; but the boat returned without having seen anything of him, although the men had clambered over the hills to a consid erable distance. On the second morning after Philip had hauled hts vessel off, they observed that the boats of the admiral’s ship were passing and repassing from the shore, landing her stores and pro visions; and the next day, from the tpnts pitched on shore. It was evident that she was abandoned, although the boats were still engaged in taking ar ticles out of her. That night it blew fresh, and the sea was heavy; the next morning the masts were gone, and she turned on her broadside; she was evi dently a wreck, and Philip now con sulted with Krantz how to act. To leave the crew of the Lion on shore was Impossible; they must all perish when the winter set In upon such a desolate coast. On the whole, It was considered advisable that the first communication should come from the other party, and Philip resolved to re main quietly at anchor. It was very plain that there was no longer any subordination among the crew of the Lion, who were to be seen, In the day-time climbing over the rocks in every direction, and at night, when their large fires were lighted, carousing and drinking. This waste of provisions was a subject of much vex ation to Philip. He had not more than sufficient for his own crew, and he took It for granted that, as soon as what they had taken on shore should be ex pended, the crew of the Lion would ask to be received on board of the Dort. For more than a week did affairs continue In this state, when one morn ing a boat was seen pulling toward the ship and In the stern-sheets Philip recognized the officer who had been vent on board to put him under ar rest. When the officer came ou deck he took off his hat to Philip. "You do. then, acknowledge me as In command?" observed Philip. "Yes, sir, most certainly; you were second In command, hut now you are t!r»t for the admiral Is dead." *lte»d!'* exclaimed Philip; "and how?" "He was found dead on the hea h under a high cliff, and the body of th< commodore was In hh arm*; Indeed, they were both grappled together. It Is supposed tlust In hi - walk up to Ihs top of the hill, whleh he used to take every ilav. to see if any ve*«*;» might te in the Htratt* be fell In with lh< c.itumodote that they had come to ci iitentlon, and had both fallen user • he precipice together.
