Copies of the insurgent organ , Independ-

In America. The Independcncla prints re
ports of alleged speeches made at alleged
meetings In the United States denouncing
the war and It asserts that these represent
the dominant American sentiment. It de
clares also that the Filipinos will continue
the war until the next presidential campaign ,

FILIPINOS KILL FRENCHMAN

MADRID , June 21. A dispatch to the Im-
parclal from Manila says Baron du Maronals ,
a Frenchman , who went to the rebel camp
to Intervene In behalf of the Spanish prisoners
v
oners In the- hands of the Filipinos , has been
treacherously murdered.
The first report of the murder of Baron
du Maronals was received in Now York
from Manila , under ( Into of May 11 and
Way 10. It wns announced that T. B. du
Maronals of Philadelphia , a brother of
Baron du Maronals , was seeking Informa
f tion concerning the fate of the baron. Ad
jutant General Corbln telegraphed to Major
General Otis , who replied as follows :
"A committee of citizens sent Citizen du
Maronals to the Insurgent authorities to In
tercede for the release of the Spanish pris
oners. The last Information regarding
him wns that ho was with Luna's forces
at Calumplt , before the town was captured.
It Is the belief of many citizens here that
Du Maronals was murdered. Others believe
that ho Is hold a prisoner. "

SAN FHANCISCO. Juno 21. Dr. Charles
A. McQucaten , who wns on the staff of Gen
eral B. S. Otis , and who was health olllcer
at Manila , has returned home Invalided by
tlio climate.
Captain McQuesten made a close study of
the conditions of the Philippines situation.
Ho is of the opinion that It will take from
100,000 to 160.000 soldiers to properly subdue
and hold the islands. He also says that
the peace commmtsslon was on absolute
failure and that Its work from the start
was without effect. He strongly supports
the military government of the Inlands , ex
cept that ho thinks more men will be neces
snry than linn been estimated.
"Dr. Bchurman knows that the commis
sion Is a failure nnd Is coming homo in
July , " added Captain McQucsten.
"Unless troops , thousands if them , are
sent to the aid of our men there , they will
bo driven back Into Manila In the course
of * _ the next few months during the rainy

climate , Fifty per cent of them will be
Incapacitated by sickness and the territory
overrun will bavo to bo abandoned. Manila
will bo ID a state of siege again.
"Oui olllcers and soldiers luive accom
pHilied wonders and have proved themselves
the besl isoldlcrs In tbo world. But notli
Ing decisive has come of It , because our men
were not In great enough force.
"One of the great dangers that our men
have to face is the climate. The new *
comers will bo at a disadvantage , because
the volunteers who are returning home arc
Inured to the climate. This will make
more men necessary than we would other
wise bavo to put In the field. As a matter
of belief , the Filipinos think they luive tb <
Americans licked already.
"Ono solution ot tha situation might b <
to cnl.lit colored men from the gulf etatc
and these might settle some of the race
questions In that section. These men wouli
be better able to stand the climatic condl
tlons around Manila and It has been proven
that they are good fighters. '
"I want to say a word for the western
volunteers. They make the finest eoldler
In the world and their fighting qualities ar
wonderful , but the volunteers all want ti
return home , and I hardly think that th
plan to enlist three skeleton regiments from
the volunteers now In the Philippines wll
bo a success. The men enlisted to
for their country and they nre not the kind
of men who want to stay and fight an Instir-
roctlon for money or the- fun of fighting. "

BATE WANTS NO BAD BLOOD

'
FRESNO , Cnl. , June 21. United States < ,
Senator W. 11. Bate of Tennessee has been t <
visiting relatives in this , city for the last t '
week or so. In an interview with an As .
sociated Press reporter Senator 'Bate expressed - ;
pressed his views on public topics quite i
plainly. ,
"I opposed Hawaiian annexation , " said I
the senator , "because It was in violation of [ i '
the principles of the Monroe doctrine nnd I
because it represents a violation of the spirit t i
of our government ; moreover , because wo |
want no such representatives as the race
of Hawaii nnd the Philippine Islands would 1
send us. I am equally opposed to the
United States' colonial system. "
Senator Bate said the system would cause
us to follow In the footsteps of monarchies.
It would lead us In the path that led re
publican Rome to destruction. Colonisa
tion means centralization ; centralization
moans Imperialism and a largo standing
army. This last Is one of the evil consequences
quences to bo dreaded from the present war
in the Philippines.
"Tho fact that I was elected without op
position , " continued the senator , "Indicates
that the people of Tennessee are in har
mony with this view. The people of the
south arc opposed to expansion. On this
coast and especially in San Francisco , I
hnvo found the expansion principle largely
favored and advocated by the wealthy citi
zens and wholesale merchants. "

Iiclleil from the Ilooni.
LOUISVILLE , Ky. , Juno 21. The race for
the democratic nomination for governor of
Kentucky j lloa between William J. Stone
nnd William Goebcl. A committee of the
followers of these two candidates today se
cured the organization of the convention , In
the election of Judge David B. Rcdwlno of
Broathltt county to bo temporary chairman.
In the district conventions this morning they
secured all hut four of the eleven. This ,
with the two members of each committee to
bo named .by the temporary chairman , will
glvo them a good working majority.
But there Is doubt as to Just what the
Stone-Goebel combination will develop. On
the surface the plan Is to nominate Stone
for governor nnd give Goobers friends the
remainder of the ticket nnd the stnto cen
tral commlttep. H is not Improbable , how
ever , that Goebcl may show sufficient
strength In the convention to secure his
nomination to the head of the ticket. This
would upset all present calculations and
probably cause a realignment of forces. The
net result of today's work was the elimina
tion , temporarily at least , of Hardln as an
Important factor In the convention.
This finale of the afternoon session
was as unexpected as It was ,
lively. The sweltering , packcd-ln , Jammed-
together mass of delegates , politicians and
onlookers had yelled Itself hoarse , fanned
Itself pallid. It wns more In a humor to do
Justice to a dinner than a prize fight.
Feeling was at high tension over an argu
ment that was in progress before Chairman
Johnston , over the contested delegation
from Kenton county , the homo of William
Goebel , one of the leading candidates for
governor. Congressman Ellis of the Sixth
district , a venerable gentleman of much
vehemence , was eloquently presenting the
Goebel sldo of the case nnd was being tntcr-
rupt d at short intervals by noisy demon-
straTlons of approval. As much of this in
terference cane from the stage , which was
crowded with candidates , guests , officers of
the convention and newspaper men , Chair
man Johnston announced that the platform
would bo cleared at the next Interruption.
Farmer Hlil.i Defiance.
A 200-pound rurallte , a little the worse
for political and spirituous excitement ,
mounted a clmlr and challenged Major
Johnston to carry out his threat , announc
ing Incidentally that force would be neces
sary in his case. Quick as a flash Jim Wil
liams started from the front of the stage
for the Intruder In a buslnnw-llke way.
Williams Is a local character of some re
pute and his activity was the signal for a
stampede toward the exits. Almost every
body was standing on a chair when the
affair occurred nnd the result was a gen
eral scramble to get out of the way and a
general disarrangement of furniture ensued.
Half a dozen men surrounded each of the
belligerents and' the'disturber was hustled
out , not , however , until the crowd had
cleared a space In the middle of the stage
about thirty feet In diameter , having a
fringe o't huddled humanity around tha
edge , crouched in corners or behind shelter
ing walls. As no weapon was drawn , this
struck the humor of the crowd and quiet
was restored , but meanwhile Chairman
Johnston had declared the convention ad
journed until evening.

BERLIN , June 21. The Reichstag today
passed the third reading of the bill provld-
Ing for the prolongation of the Anglo-Ger
man commercial treaty.
During the discussion of the sup
plementary credits for the protectorates and
the loan therefor , the minister of foreign
affairs , Baron von Buelow , again defended
the acquisition of the Spanish islands , which
ho said the government had long enter
tained , as it would tend to the development
of Germany's old possessions. Ho added
that he was no builder of castles in the air ,
but had proceeded quietly , soberly nnd
advisedly , as In the case of Klao Chou , and
asserted he was Justified In assuming that
the new possessions woufd prove most valuable -
ble , commercially , for German Industries
and German enterprise in those regions
which , henceforth , would bo able to advance
under much more favorable conditions. Tbo
islands , he explained , were admirably suited
for cultivation and might In time to come
be bases for commercial intercourse between
Asia , South America and Germany. From
the outset , the minister also said , Germany
could dispense with the costly military
establishments of Spain.
The Reichstag subsequently passed the
second reading of the credit for the purchase
of the islands with tbo loan bill and the
commercial convention with Spain attached.
During ' the course of his remarks Baron
von Buelo'w eald : "Wo hold It to bo our
first duty to eco that our relations with
other powers are undlstrubed by the now
acquisition and hope that our relations with
the Immediate neighbors of the Islands ,
only become more intimate. We have not
thought of placing ourselves in opposition to
the Americans In the South Pacific , and wo
as fittle wish to prejudice American interests
as America contemplates Injuring us without
cause or reason. We shall meet the active
and talented Japanese with sincere sym
pathy. There is no reason why on the
basis of mutual fairness and respect the
powers Interested In those regions should
not , side by side , forward the works of peace
and civilization. Wo hopu , through the
treaty , which harmoniously ends the politi
cal and economic differences , that the rela
tions between the Germans and -Spaailaids
will ( become of the friendliest description. I
The business concluded , with Spain Is an j i
honorable 'transaction In which neither has
bested the other. For Spain the Islands
were only the remnants of a ruined build-
Ing. To us they are the pillars of the arch '
of a new fabric with a great future , please j
God. "

During the course of the debate Herr

WASHINGTON , Juno 21. It Is regarded
ns a conservative estimate that the ireasury
deflcll for the fiscal year 1S99 , which closes
ten days hence , will bo less ihnn $100,000,000.
ATready the receipts for 'the ' year aggregate
over $489,800,000 with Hie expendllures barely
$100,000,000 more , with ten days , judging
from past years , of heavy receipts yet lo bo
nccounled for. Up to this , date the customs
receipts amount to over $200,400,000 ; from
Internal revenue $203,550.000 wns realized
and from miscellaneous sources 'there was
received $35,500,000.
The total receipts from all sources last
year amounted to $405,321,333 while Iho ex
penditures aggregated $143,3CS,5S2 , , leaving
deficit of $35,047.247.
From the closest calculation thai can now
boiinado the war revenue act , which , with the
exception of a few Items , went Into cffecl
July 1. 1898 , will realize for Ihe year a little
toss than $100,000,000. The receipts from to
bacco alone will probably show nn Increase
for the year of over $15,000,000 ; spirits an
increase of $6,500,000 , beer and other fer
mented liquors an increase cf over $28,000-
000 nnd oleomargarine nn Increase of about
$525.000.
The two Hems which hnvo produced more
than ten times ns much revenue ns nny
others are those applying to documentary and
proprietary stamps. On April 30 last these
Items had produced over $36,500,000 nnd It Is
not improbable thai by Jutio 1 the tolal will
exceed 144,000,000. The tnx on legacies win
probably produce not iinuch In excess of $1-
000.000 , while the special tax collcclcd from
bankers wlfl exceed $3,000,000.
