The Outlook , However , is Not of a Very Assuring Character , CHIEF JUSTICE CHAMBERS ARRIVES Bus'iicss of Such a Nature that Ho Will I'soli ihly Not Return All discs that Ho Had Iteforo the Court Finished A Chief Justice Ad Interim. SAN FRANCISCO , July 29. Chief Justice W. L. Chambers of Samoa ar rived here yesterday on the steamer Moana , accompanied by his family. He Is on a four months' leave of absence , but says that his business in the United States is of such a nature that he will probably not return to Apia. In an interview the chief justice said : "All Is now quiet in Samoa , but I cannot answer for the future. Both Mataafa and Malietoa affect to be sat isfied with the present arrangement , which abolishes the office of king and vests the responsibility of government in the consuls of the three powers. I feel sure Malietoa is sincere in this. Though fairly elected , and after elec tion accepting the kingship , he never had ambitions in that direction. As soon as the commission arrived he proposed to resign , a spirit which later proved to be in accordance with the plans of the commissioners , and I have every reason to believe that he will live up to his bargain. "Mataafa Is ambitious. For many years he thirsted for power and will not be so easily satisfied. At the same time he is a man of exceptional ability , is shrewd and I have never thought the Interests of the natives would es pecially suffer in his hands. "Yes , my decision has been sustained by the commission and it has pub lished the fact in a proclamation. "With respect to the future I can say little. There Is the problem. In its work the commission has endeav ored to eliminate from the original arrangement all features that have appeared faulty or weak , Those sec tions have simply been struck out , leaving nothing in their places. What will rob the whole document of proper effectiveness Is the tripartite treaty under which It will have to operate. I am sure that no government in Samoa will succeed under such an arrangement. The sooner the powers see this and formulate some correc tion the better for all concerned. " Judge Chambers said he had finished up all of the cases to come before the court this summer. The commission is empowered to appoint a chief justice ad interim to act in case anything arises before a permanent appointment is made. Up to the time Chambers left the commission had not decided who the new man wouid be. THE DEWEY HOME FIND. Those "Who Deslro to Contribute Should Do So at Onco. WASHINGTON , D. C. , July 29. The secretary of the Dewey home fund re quests the publication of the following statement : There can no longer be any doubt as to whether a home will be pur chased by popular subscription for Admiral George Dewey. At a meeting of the national Dewey fund committee today it was found that the aggregate amount of cash actually received by Treasurer Roberts is $16,700 , from a total of over 23.000 subscribers. One hundred and three subscribers gave $10,000. The statement was made that the $5,000 promised some time since by the New York Journal would be forthcoming shortly , bringing the grand aggregate up to $21,700. The commit tee agreed to close the subscriptions before the arrival of Admiral Dewey in New York in September , and then to proceed , after consultation with the admiral as to location , etc. , to pur chase the home with whatever funds they may at that time have in hand. We will purchase the home if not another dollar is received , so that vthe question now is whether the patriotic and generous people of the country will permit the purchase of a home at the nation's capital for the hero of Manila with $20,000 or $30,000. Therefore those who desire to contribute are urged by the committee to contribute at once. All contributions should be forwarded to Hon. Ellis H. Roberts , treasurer of the United States , Wash ington , D. C. , who will issue souvenir receipts for the same. CONFERENCE NEARINO AN END. Some Important Matters to Bo I.cft to Subsequent Negotiations. THE HAGUE , July 29. The com mittee charged with the duty of draft ing the final acts of the conference met yesterday morning with all the principal delegates in attendance. The impossibility was admitted of arriving at an immediate understanding regard ing the form in which powers not signing the convention might adhere to the decisions of the conference.

The Three Million Dollars Given Cubans Acts as a Plague , IT MAKES DISCORD AMONG THEM Soldiers X.ower Unselfish Ideas In Hope of Gain Working Classes In Havana Cannot Kscapo From Filth A Delega tion Visits Gen. Brooke. HAVANA , July 27. In an interview with General Gomez , printed in La Lucha , the Cuban commander was quoted as saying : "Never has a plague more afflicting fallen on Cuba than the $3,000,000 ask ed from President McKinley for the Cuban soldiers. The money has been the cause of ill will among those who by right and justice should be. eter nally united. "The history of the money is cu rious. It was thought at first that it ought not to have been received , as it was a dishonor to the Cubans. The aspect is changed now and it should cause pain to see wandering through Havana soldiers begging for what it was supposed they would refuse with serenity. "The formation of the supplement ary lists of persons incapacitated in the war and the work of payment has already cost $6,000. This money was furnished by Governor General Brooke as the Cubans do not possess the ground upon which they tread. Those who do not know the work and the expense involved are naturally impa tient and hold responsible some one who in no way helped to get the money nor asked any one to receive it. "Those whose names appear on the supplementary lists should not be paid before those who are on the orig inal list , so as to preserve order. "As the money was the gift of the American government , I am pained by the interest shown by my soldiers , who were trained to go hungry on their march to liberty. The government will pay them , but when is not cer tain. Impatience will not further the matter. " El Diario de la Marina says editor ially in today's issue that the working classes in Havana are in bad condi tion. The cost of living in the city is very high , owing to the extravagant tendencies of the upper classes having raised prices. The upper classes have been able to get money easily , the paper says , on account of the natural richness of the Cuban soil , but the ne cessities of life , including the securing of clean , comfortable houses , are out of the reach of the poor , who , there fore , are forced to live under bad , unhealthful - healthful conditions , although they are fairly well paid. A deputation from Guines visited General Brooke today for the purpose" of objecting to the appointment of Senor Hernandez as mayor of the town by General Receira , the civil governor of the province.

It proved to be that of Senor Hernandez , who received the appointment. MUST NOW 09 TO THE FRONT. Officers Kecently Appointed Ordered to Join Their Kcgimciits. WASHINGTON , July 27.

The sec retary of agriculture has altered the regulations recently issued for the free admission of cattle into Cuba for the next year , so as to provide for di vision inspectors at Cuban ports in stead of American ports , which was originally contemplated. The change is made at the instance of the war de partment and is intended to permit the admission of cattle from other coun tries upon the same terms as from the United States. The portions of the regulations as at first drafted , requir ing the stock to be graded and also immune from fever , will be retained. It is believed that these requirements will result in the practical limitation of the cattle to American stock , as the South American animals would net generally be graded and those from Europe would not be immune as a rule. THE SCHEME NOT PRACTICABLE. Importation of American Cattle to Cuba IVill Not AVork. HAVANA , July 27. Senor Escalante , who claims to be a practical farmer , has written to the Diario de la Marina , taking the ground that tne scheme for importing 50,000 American cattle to Cuba is impracticable , on account of the difficulty of acclimatizing the ani mals. He asserts that 40 per cent would die. The plan should be , he says , to import cattle from other sources than the United States. ONE FRENCHMAN SATISFIED. The Consul nt New York Ilollovcs the Treaty la All Ki&ht. NEW YORK , July 27. Edmond Bruwaert , French consul at Now York , says of the new reciprocity treaty be tween France and the United States : "I regard It as an excellent thing for the United States. America was the only country which did not have the benefit of our minimum tariff. As the manufacturers abroad are satisfied with a profit of 5 per cent , the differ ence between the maximum and mini mum rates was sufficient to keep the United States out of the French mar. ket. ket."France's "France's annual importation of manufactured articles Is about $280- 000,000 and the United States will get a good share of this. Amerlca under sells England In cotton goods in China and there is no reason why it cannot do the same in France. It will be the same with other articles. "England , Belgium , Germany and Austria now supply France with its imported manufactured articles. The leading imports are raw cotton , wheat , tobacco , mineral oil , copper and lead. America sends agricultural imple ments , sewing machines , electrical ap pliances and pumps. "There are 642 articles on the duti able list of the French tariff , and the treaty gives the United States the minimum rate on all except twelve. Germany , England and the other coun tries which have treaties with France do not enjoy the minimum rate on these twelve exceptions , which are chiefly agricultural products. The av erage difference between the French maximum and minimum rate is 33 per cent , so that imports from this country will pay one-third less duty when the treaty goes into effect. "There are 463 dutiable articles in the tariff law of the United States and in return for its concessions France will obtain a lower rate on less than 100 of them , the average reduction be ing only 10 per cent. While this seems one-sided , it is not so much so as it appears , because American goods have been sent into France as English goods under the minimum tariff. "I do not think the treaty can go into effect before next February. It must be ratified both here and in France and signed by President Loubet and President McKInley. Then copies of the treaty must be exchanged. "France has given all it can give because , with its $7,000,000,000 of na tional debt it cannot reduce its tariff any further. We did not get what we asked by any means , but we obtained all the United States was willing to give. We realized that the treaty must be such that congress would approve it , and France deferred to President McKinley's wishes on that account. " BUILDING OF NEW SHIPS. eng Pending nmlPersonal Differences Passed Upon. WASHINGTON , July 27 Secretary Long has passed upon the long pend ing and rather personal differences which has existed among the heads of the various naval bureaus , concerning the building of new ships , and as a re sult a new order , to be known as spec ial order No. 84 , will appear in a day or so , amending the present system. The matter has aroused considerable feeling among naval officials and the board of construction has divided into majority and minority elements , each presenting ideas as to what should be done. The main point has been tha extent of authority and responsibility of the chief constructor and the desir ability of having his bureau pass upon the proposals of all other bureaus in the building , arming and equipping of new ships. Secretary Herbert placed the respon sibility almost entirely \vith the chief constructor as to all parts of the ship and the ship as a whole and this order , known as No. 433 , has been the subject of differences. The new order follows in the main the language of the old order , but some changes in the text are made which will work considerable variation in the system. The general effect of the new rule appears to be in the line of giving each bureau a larger measure of responsibility over affairs directly under it. DEPARTMENT WANTS KELLY. Cnqulry 3 In do as to the 1'ato of an Amer ican Prisoner in Japan. WASHINGTON , July 27. The state department would be pleased to know what has become of a murderer named Kelley who at last accounts was held in a Japanese jail under sentence of seven years' imprisonment from the consular court at Kokohama. Some time before the new Japanese treaty , by which we surrendered our extra- territorialty , went into effect , the state department bethought itself of Kelley , who was the only American long term prisoner in Japan and had served but six months of his sentence. It desired to bring him to this coun try to serve out his sentence and the only manner in which this could be le gally accomplished was to secure a re quest from the prisoner that his sen tence be commuted. Kelley was com municated with , but was not heard from directly. Meanwhile , the Japan ese government notified the state de partment that it proposed to release all foreigners held in Japanese pris ons under sentences from consular courts on July 16 , the day the old treaty expired. The state department remonstrated , holding that Japan by the new treaty assumed the obligation to hold Kelley in jail , but the contention has not yet been accented. on Ordered to Manila.

An expedition composed of troops from San Pedro Macatl , Pasig and Morong , under Brig adier General R. H. Hall , yesterday captured Calamba , an important trad ing town on the south shore of Laguna - na de Bay. There were two hours' hard fight ing , during which four soldiers were killed and twelve wounded. The trenches commanding the harbor were under water but the swampiness of the land made the work narder. The troops boarded cascoes Tuesday night The force comprised 400 of the Wash ington volunteers , 450 of the Twenty- first infantry , 150 of the Fourth cav alry and two guns of the First aitil- lery. These and the gunboats Lapldan and Costo assembled opposite Calamba Wednesday afternoon. Crowds of people ple in carts and on foot were seen rushing to the hills. Natives escap ing from Calamba in canoes said 100 insurgents held the town. A force under Captain McGrath of the Twenty-first infantry and Captain Eltonherd landed above the town , but found a river intervening. Captain Mc Grath and Lieutenant P.atson swam the river under a fire from twenty Mauser rifles. Having crossed the stream , the officers procured a cascoe to ferry the troops over. The insur gents retreated through the town , shooting from houses and bushes as they fled to the hills. Three members of the Washington regiment waded from cascoes through swamps , often shoulder deep , while a group of P ili- pines concealed in haystacks were shooting at them , until the Napidan focused her 6-pounders and Gatllng guns on the stacks for a few minutes. Most of the work was done before the Washington volunteers could reach the town. The Filipinos left three dead. Of the casualties on the American side , two of the killed and three of the wounded were members of the Fourth cavalry and two killed and eight wounded belonged to the Twenty-first infantry. There was much shooting by amigos - gos , who emerged from the bushes with white flags. After the fight a dozen men holding up their hands and shouting "Castillanos , " met the Amer icans hysterically. There were fifty Spanish prisoners at Calamba , of whom some were civil officials and some were soldiers. They had been given the choice of joining the Filipino army or becoming servants to the Filipinos pines , and chose the army , intending to surrender at the first opportunity. Most of the civilians reached the American lines during the fighting , but the insurgents took others away with them in their retreat General Hall captured twelve Filipinos pines with guns. Major General Henry W. Lawton , Prof. Dean C. Worcester of the Amer ican Philippines commission , Mrs. General Lawton , and General Lawton's son accompanied the expedition on board a launch and sat coolly in an un protected boat close to the shore dur ing the fighting , the bullets splash ing about them. Today General Hall Drought to Ma nila the Spaniards whom the expedi tion had released from captivity of more than a year. Lieutenant Larson , commanding the Napidan , today found a long missing Spanish gunboat , which bad been so covered with bushes and fish nets as not to resemble a vessel. The Filipinos reinforcements and nos , having met thinking that the Americans had evac uated the town , descended from the hills today intending to reoccupy Ca lamba General Hall easily drove them back. General Hall will garrison Calamba. SOLDIERS FOR THE PHILIPPINES. Three Transports Sail With Men and Horses. SAN FRANCISCO , July 28 Three transports sailed for Manila early yes terday morning. They were the Ohio and Newport , which left the dock shortly before midnight filled with re cruits and regulars , and the Tacoma , which steamed out toward the heads at 3 o'clock. The latter had been taken out into the stream during the night. Four companies of the Nine teenth infantry , comprising about 500 men , were evenly distributed on board the Newport and Ohio , besides several hundred recruits. The Tacoma took 300 horses for the Fourth cavalry. REST IS WHAT HE IS AfTER. Beyond This the President Has No Plans at Present. PLATTSBURG , N. Y. , July 28.

Mrs. McKinley stood the trip as well as was expected , but she looked pale as she walked up the hotel steps. The president said he had made no plans for his stay here , except to get as much rest as he possibly could. Movement * of Adminl Dcwoy. TRIESTE , July 28.
