A special to the Times- Herald from Washington says : Agulnaldo'H representatives to the American Philippine commlKslon have formally admitted the sovereignty of the United States over the Philippine archipelago. Ficim a member of the cabinet It Is learned that this admission was made to President Bchurmann at a conference held by him with Colonel Arguelles and Lieutenant Bernal several days ago. It was In reply to a direct question put to them by Mr. Schurmann and the character of the answer was no doubt as gratifying to the commission as U. is to the president. As a result of a dispatch sent by Mr , echurmann , It Is the confident expectation of the president that the end ot the rebellion Is close at hand This result will not bo obtained , though , without concessions , which have been recommended by the commission end which , by direction of the president , will bo granted. These concessions con template giving to the Flllpllios a form of government modeled after that of the United States. The member of the cabinet .who gave the above Information said that the commission bad unanimously adopted n recommendation which was submitted to the president , In Mr. Schurmann'a dispatch , pro viding three departments for the now govern ment of the archipelago first , the executive department ; second , the legislative depart ment , and third , the judicial department.

STORY OF EGBERT'S DEATH DanRlifer of ( Jnllmit Colonel Ic- Nurlhen TuentHeeond'ii Attack on Mnllntii Church. CINCINNATI , O , .May C. The Commer cial Tribune will print tomorrow a touching letter from Miss Bessie Egbert , daughter ot Colonel II. r. Egbert of the Twenty-second Infantry , who was killed leading his regi ment nrur Caloocan. It Is dated March 29 , ami describes Ills career and fate In the Philippines. Describing the battle , the letter reads : "Saturday night , March 25 , they camped on the bank of the river Tullha and Sunday morning the brigade was ordcicd by Gen eral Wheaton to take the towu of ilallnta and open the way to Palo and ( Malolos. The town Is surrounded by n otono wall and Is on a llttlo eminence. "Tho church was crowded with the enemy. Ilefore our men got In range they had to cross the river , and the eurgeon who was acting as papa's adjutant says that there were plenty of rafts for the officers , but that papa plunged In with his men and the water was up to his breast. "When they got over the general sent papa an order to take the trenches In front of the town and then to charge the wall and storm the place. At first It was hard to start them , the flro was so bitter and those open fields seemed so far across. Papa went up and down the line calling to them to cheer ( these Flllnlnos are terribly afraid of a cheer ) , and finally he got them started through the bushes , and just then ho was hit. "Tho regiment stopped a second and the word ran down the line that the colonel was shot , and then they started forward like demons , never stopping for commands or orders , and they got to the wall and swarmed over It and took the town before they stopped. Papa lived one hour oftrr he was shot and knew before ho died that the town was taken. "General Wheaton came to him and the surgeon told us the general just sobbed and sobbed. He said , 'Egbert , you made a mag nificent fight. ' And papa , lying on the lit ter , smiled and said : 'Wo took the town , anyway , general. ' " The writer says further along , patheti cally : "Papa never had any hoiror of death and tried always to make us feel as he did , hat It was a perfectly natural thing and here was nothing mjsterlous or awful about t. We Just feel as though he had gone away 'or many years , and It Is the porting which hurts. Hl.i example has bccu a wonderful ono to everyone Every man who was with ilm In the field says ho knew absolutely no fear. " REPORT DEWEY IS TO RETURN In Cn e Pcnee In nentoredVII1 Snll for the ITnlted Stated on thu WASHINGTON , May 6. There Is reason : o believe that President McKlnley has been advised that Admiral Dewey contemplates coming home within a short time. His re turn will , of course , bo dependent upon the success of the commission's piesent nego- .tixtlons with the Filipinos. As soon as they have laid down their arms it Is expected that ho will proceed with the protected cruiser Olympla to the United States , prob ably through the Suez canal to Now York , nnd come Immediately to Washington to con sult with the president regarding the Phil ippines.

WRATH OF THE HESS Public Mind in Germany Fee p Father land Has Been Sni BUELOWSAID TO NEGlECTjgON'S ' HONOR Papers Accuse Him of Cringing Before America and Great Britain , FEAR THAT "JUST CLAIMS" WILL BE DENIED Government Organs Do Not Encourage This Unfriendly Attitude , UNIQUE PLAN TO IMPROVE THE FRANCHISE Knl pr Fnror I'roponnl to Divide the Ilundrnrnth Into Three with Vollnir Privilege * in Accordance ivltli ARC. ( Copyright , 1SW , by Associated Press. ) BKllLIN , May 6 The belief has taken complete possession of the public mind In Germany that German Intercuts In Samoa have been brutally and ruthlessly disre garded by both England and the United States. It seems that this view Is steadily jalnlng strength with nearly all classes. The press openly reflects the sentiment wltn increasing violence. The government has done nothing during last week cither to [ ortlfy or to dispel this trend of public opin ion The government press has been strangely silent upon the subject. The agrarian newspapers and many other journals have seized the occasion of the Dlrthday anniversary of the Imperial minis ter for foreign affairs , Baron von Buolow , to severely attack him for what they style ils supine disregard of Germany's legitimate Interests In Samoa and hie alleged obsequi ousness toward Great Britain and the United States. The matter of claims of damages both In Samoa and the Philippine Islands for German property destroyed In recent en gagements has also been Injected Into the [ ) Tcea discussion with singularly growing ex citement , , the assertion being made that the lotted s'tutes meant to disregard these "Just claims. " The imperial foreign office , however , has done nothing to create or foster this condi tion of public feeling. In the course of nn Interview with ttie correspondent Uero of the Associated Press the United States ambassador to Germany , Andrew D. White , said : "Tho question ot German claims for dam ages for property destroyed in the Philip pine Islands or In Samoa In consequence of acts of our naval or land forces was never once mentioned during all the conferences which I have had with the imperial minis ter for foreign affairs. So far as I am aware , no such question has yet come up at the foreign office. At any rate. It is too early to discuss the subject , as no evidence , pro or con , has been advanced on either side. " It appears that the sole basis for the wholesale charges In the newspapers with regard to these alleged enormous damages Is a few private letters received from the Philippine Islands and Samoa , In which the writers seek to make out a case In ad vance. The Vosslsche Zeltung and other Journals have reproduced two of these let ters-taking for granted all that was therein claimed and arguing on the lines presented by the writers of the letters who , among a number of alleged facts , asserted that Major General Otis , nt Manila , has bluntly de clined to recognize any German claims for damages. When United States Ambassador White was asked about this matter by the Associated Press correspondent he was very reticent , only saying : 'Of course the reports of General Otis on any of these cases would have great weight with the State department , but In any event the final adjustment of such claims must bo made at Washington and not at Manila. " AlleKCil llrltlNli I'erllil } . The Kreuzo Zeltung. In the course of nn editorial article that has attracted a great deal of attention , said "Despite the African agreement between England and Germany and despite the ci vilities interchanged this extraordinarily perfidious act in Samoa was planned by the English , who kept In the background and sent some American hotspurs to the front In order to establish the fact of an Anglo- American brotherhood In arms end cmbrolgl Germany and the United States to the ex tent that an understanding was rendered next to Impossible. This much Is certain , that the friendly understanding between the United States and Germany Is a combina tion that British statecraft just now relishes least of nil. " The North German Gazette , mentioning reports that English and American merchants In Samoa express a desire to see Germany annex the whole of the group , bitterly at tacks the Imperial foreign office for sup pressing this statement and keeping It out of the press. The agrarian Deutsche Tagcs Zeltung , In the course ot a severe review of German's attitude toward the United States during the last yeir , blames the Imperial foreign ofilce with "knuckling down to the Americans" In every case , oven recalling the Instance of Admiral von Dledrlchs at ( Manila , "eo as not to hurt the feelings of messieurs , the Amor- leans. " The article concludes ns follows : "Only by now showing a bold and unyield ing front can the nrwtlgo of the empire , which has suffered so sellously latterly , bo re-established. " The same newspaper and a number of other * blame the emperor for showing too much frleiidllnera toward Americans and charge President McKlnlcy with a gross wont of tact In not replying to Emperor William's telegram of congratulations on the subject of the new transatlantic cable In Gorman , and "thus outraging all Interna tional courtesy. " Other 1'aiierft More HenHonnble. On the other band the Berlin Tagoblatt , the Cologne Gazette and a large part of the liberal press took a more rational view of the relations between Germany and the United States , alluding to the good will cf the United States ae recently shown on sev eral occasions In highly complimentary terms , The animosity of the agrarians toward Daren von Buelow and the foreign policy ot Germany Is largely duo to the meat In spection bill , the provisions of which so far as can ba seen are favorable to American Interests , which condition of affairs Is at tributed to the Influence of Baron von Bue low. The agrarian campaign against the meat Inspection bill continues In full force. The Federation of Husbandry this week pre- eented 3,056 petitions against the bill. The agrarian Deutsche Tagcs Zeltung , which has had a series of articles aiming to show dhat all American meat Imported Into Germany Is unfit for fend , presents a letter frcin Ernest Uennlnghovcn of Chicago cage regarding the meat Industry of that city. Bennlnghoven , In this letter , claims to know positively < hat all canned moat Intended for export to Germany la from diseased and otherwise unfit animals. Wagonloads ot such meat , ho asserts , are delivered weekly nt the leading packing houses for "embalming purposes. " Inspec tion , Bcnnlnghovcn sojs. Is a howling farce , owing to wholesale bribery. The writer adds that he hoped Germany would not allow the Importation of such meat. This loiter baa been -widely reproduced In the German press and Is quoted ns conclusive proof from headquarters against all Ameri can meats. The failure of the Filipinos to secure nn armistice Is generally regarded hero with regret and the hope Is expressed that nn nmlcablo understanding "will bo reached. The sending of commissioners from Germany for the purpose of studying the status and methods of Now York Insurance compa nies has boon much commented upon by the Insurance nnd general | ) rcss. The Krcuze Zoltung says : "It IB to bo hoped that If the government again grants companies the right to operate In Prussia , certain conditions will bo at tached nnd that especially no tontlno fea tures will be permitted In German policies , such features partaking ot the nature of a lottery.

The high class periodical , the Dcuteche Wahenblatt , published today an article by Jacob Heckler , entitled "A Proposal for Im proving the Reichstag Franchise , " In which the writer suggests dividing voters In three classes , according to age , thope from 25 to 40 having ono vote each , those from 40 to 55 two votes and those over 55 thtee votes. The argument In favor of this proposition Is based upon the supposed Increase In po litical wisdom and cool judgment that comes with age. The correspondent here of the Associated Press has learned that the emperor has read the manuscript of Heckler's article ana highly approved It , believing that the adop tion of Its propositions would abolish the most objcctlonal excrescences of the fran chlso and Incidentally renders socialists less dangerous. Prince Hohenloho nnd other members of the Imperial cabinet have also expressed approval of the scheme for similar reasons. The plan will be seriously consid ered by the cabinet with a view to Introduc ing It in the Bundesrath. The emperor has appointed Mr. From- mann consul at St. Louis. CRITICISE MARCONI'S SYSTEM Scientific ! Authorities no JVot llelleve tt In Worth Much lucent for Special linen. ( Copyrlcht , 1899 , by Press Publishing Co ) LONDON , May 6. ( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) Marconi's sys- tern nnd Us achievements and prospects are beginning to be pooh-hooed by scientific au thorities here. Nature , n scientific publica tion of high standing , frankly depreciated Marconi and all his works as follows : "Npthlng whatever about wireless telegraphy lias given the smallest Indication that It Is going to supplant wires. It simply fills a want. Wireless telegraphy may maintain communication with outlying Islands when cables break down. It did BO by postofllce with the Island of Mull In 1895 , before Mar coni was heard of , but tt Is not going to re place one single cable between Great Britain and the continent. Marconi's system has now been before the public nearly two years , but wo have not heard anything now from n scientific point of view since the discov ery was first published. These repeated sen sational experiments are a pure scientific ap. paratus boomed by energetic financial spec ulators for their own Individual gain ana not for the benefit of the public. " Mr. Prccco , consulting electrician to tlie English postofllce , takes the same llno'In al most Identical language. Says ho : "There can be no question of the value of Mar coni's svstem for lightships , Isolated light houses and for naval and military purpose * , but for commercial uses such as telegraphic communication with Franco It Is at present nowhere.

( Copyright , ISM , liy Press Publishing Co ) PAHIS , May 0. ( Now York World Cable gram Special Telegram. ) The outgoing transatlantl < iuc > liner from Havre this week bears the embalmed body of Miss Jessie Allen , aged 2S , of San Francisco , whose death happened under pathetically tragic circumstances. Miss Allen , one. of the most promising American art students In Paris , went on a cvcllng tour with a party of friends early In April. While riding near Tlnnncs , Brlt- tuny , a dog jumped on her back , throw her to the ground and severely sprained her ankle. She was conveyed to Paris where , on reaching Hannes , she consulted Dr. Paul Archambaud , director of a school of ortho- poedlo massage , 21 Hue de Cujas Though no bone was broken and the tendons of the ankle were severely lacerated and the skin broken , Archambaud subjected Miss Allen to in itf-Qge treatment. He used no antisep tics and blood poisoning resulted. Miss Allen was removed to Bouclcault hospital where despite every attention by the most distinguished physicians she died a week ago. Jessie Allen came to Paris to study art four 5 oars ago and had just placed her foot on the first rung of the ladder of artistic fame by getting two pictures accepted for this year's salon. Ono of these is a Venetian canal subject , the other n miniature of a girl. They are draped with crape and the touching story of their creator's death Is on everyone's llpa in artistic Paris. In the same room , also In mourning deco ration , Is a picture ot Jessie Allen herself , painted by her fellow American student , Miss Woodward of Michigan. Miss Woodward told mo that for weeks she and Jessie Allen had been painting each other's portraits , but Miss Woodward's only was finished enough to bo sent to the salon. There was the highest promise In Miss Allen's "work. " She was very popular among her fellow students , who are deeply shocked by her death. Consul General Gowdy and Deputy Consul General Bow en made all for. mal arrangements for the embalming and shipment of the remains , in which they were assisted in every way by the authorities of Boucicault hospital , whose staff made super human efforts to save the young artist's life. Miss Alice , secretary ot the reorganized American Girls' club , to whom Miss Allen applied when her case was becoming serious , said : Due to Improper Treatment. "There Is no doubt that her sad death was duo to Improper massage treatment. It should bo n warning to Americans In Paris. If Miss Allen had applied to me. In the first instance I should have sent her at once tea a hcspital. It Is always safer In any diffi culties. " Miss Wood , correspondent nt the studio Jointly occupied by her with the dead girl , said : "There Is no doubt that death was caused by mistaken massage treatment without antiseptic precautions. Blood poison Ing was already advanced when she was re moved to the hospital. Dr. Marchand there suggested amputation of the foot , but Jessie said she would rather die. Injections of pure blood wcro tried , but were all Ineffectual , although she was physically a strong , healthy woman. Her last words were : 'Let my brother have my pictures in the salon ; ho will be glad and proud when ho hears of my success. ' " Funeral service was held at Trinity church , attended by nil the American stu dents. The body was then removed to the mortuary at the American embassy and is now being convejed for Interment at Al bany , where her mother and father are burled. Lolo Fuller gave unlo.no entertainments the- other night , attended by leading artists , literary men , actors and statesmen. To ward midnight the guests were Invited Into a garden. Presently n cherubic looking figure dressed in vaporous trailing garments seemed to lloat down the stairs. The figure passed Into the garden , selecting a smooth patch on the lawn lighted by the pale moon and yellow Chinese lanterns , began to dance a mixture of the skirt , serpentine and Turk ish dance. It was a wild success , even the great Chinese representative , In a yellow Jacket , was carried off his feet and Benja min Constant , the famous painter , In his enthusiasm , gave a couple of sounding kisses on the cheeks of the fair Lolo. Stories Illustrating the pope's confidence In his longevity are numerous. The latest Is given by Monslgnor Casanova , a South American dignitary passing through hero to Home , Monslgnor Casanova was In Rome ten jears ago and before ) leaving paid a farewell visit to the pope. "You seem to bo agitated , my son , " said Leo XIII to him. "Holy father , it Is because I am won dering whether I shall over have the Joy of seeing you again , " ho replied. "Why not ?

( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) Croker's ar- rlvnl has created no flutter In racing clr- cke , as unless bio 2-ycar-olils , some of - - de velop high qualities , his stable Is not re garded of any account this season. He went down to Wantage on Friday with his filcncl , Naglc , and was met at the station by his trainer , Stanley. He went straight to the stables , where ho spent over nn hour before going Into Moat house. He returned to Lon don this morning on his way to Kempton park to see the Great Jubilee stakes run , and he sleeps tonight at Nnblu's rooms In Pantoii street , which Is generally voted rathur an undignified abode for Tammany's bees. Crokcr was unnoticed In the enclosure at Kempton except by a few Jockeys whom he had employed from time to time. Ho seems to have made no friends among En gllsh sporte. Ho was around all the time with Nagle , maintaining his characteristic impassive and reserved demeanor. Ted Sloan accorded him a patronizing handshake and a couple of sentences , but evidently ] md no time to Icee with so Inconsldarihlo a figure on the English turf as the renowned Bosa Crokcr undoubtedly is. Sloan , acting on the repeated advice of Lord William Beresford , talks of taking a reel , his health remaining very Indifferent. Ho rode only three times this week , win ning after a splendid finish on Chevenlng from Madden on O'Donovnn Rossa , csteemel the smartest 2-year-old In training H was one of Sloan's cleverest bits of horseman ship since ho has been here. After the duke of Wostmlnster'o Flying Fox won the Ches ter cup the duke , meeting Sloan In the pad dock , asked him what ho thought of his horse , which , by the way , Is first favorite for the Derby. The duke Is seldom eecn on the race tracks. Sloan did not know him and , giving him n suspicious glance up and down assuring himself ho was not a rac ing tout or Interviewer , replied with con- descennlon : "Well , sir. Flying Fox Is the best horse I over saw In my life or nm ever likely to see , nnd if you want to see what a really good horse is like you Just go and have a look at him before he's taken home. " The duke preserved his gravity nnd went back to the prince of Wales' party , whore ho told the prince the Incident to the lat- ter'B Intense amusement Some time after the prince with the duke , seeing Sloan near the saddling room , eald to him laugh ingly "Tho duke of Westminster has taken your advice nnd had a look at Flying Fox nnd Is Inclined to agree with you aboul him. " Ted saw the humor of the situation nnd replied : "I think , sir , your friend the duke Is lucky In having such a horse. " Sloan's average winning amounts are so far the highest among this season's jockles ns In fifty-ono mounts ho has won nine teen. Mornlngton Cannon , at the top of the list with 100 mounts , won tvventy-olghi times ; Madden , In 1C.1 ; , won twenty-six ; S , Loatcs , In 125 , won twenty-five ; T. Loatea In 162 , won twenty-three. It Is contomlc < that Sloan's average Is eo high because ho la more careful in picking his mounts am taking less chances of defeat. Sloan had an exciting experience at Kamp- ton today. While cantering down to Iho post for the Hampton handicap on Esmoralda the filly kicked opposite tbo stand and Sloai promptly came off. A largo crowd gathcrei round , but , foitunatcly , ho was unhurt nnd borrowing a policeman's horse , attemtpei unsucccfwfully to get dawn to the post for the start. However ho regained his laurels by a brilliant victory In tha Jubilee stakes on Lord William Bereuford's Knight o Thistle , and this following so rapidly on his triumph on Slbola has made him more pop ular than over.

Thus to public knowledge this woman within two years has obtained f300,000 from the two men , but It Is said she has lost the lot batting.
