The United States lega tion guard has hail Its first trouble. Lega tion street Is being repaired near the lega tion and nn American sentry was placed at the point with orders to direct people around n side street. Everybody obeyed tho request with the exception of the Qcr mans, both officers aud soldiers, who have caused thu American sentries much trouble., One of the German officers drow his Bword and charged an American soldier, who brought hlB bayonet to "charge," where upon the officer desisted. Subsequently, n Qerman uoldler charged past the sentry, who fired, hitting another Herman soldier near tho German legation, a quarter of n mile off. This fortunately was only a light flesh wound. Tho sentry has been placed under arrest and Major IlobcrtHon has Instituted an Investigation. Tho attitude of Dr. Mumm von Schwartz cnstcln, German minister, representing the civilians, and Count von Waldcrsco, representing the military, as well as that of other high officials has been particularly friendly toward the Americans, which make all tho more pronounced the unfriendly feeling evinced by a majority of tho Qcr man officers and men. This unfriendliness is attributed to the American attitude In retaining control, with the legation guard of one entrance to tho Forbidden City, which thu Germans consider a reflection on their national honesty. Today's meeting of tho ministers of the powers was devoted to closing up detail of business Independent of tho Indemnity question, although the military authorities of tho various powers scent to consider a ottlcment In sight, ns general preparations re being mado for tho evacuation of Pekln In the early future.

Much ex citement has been caused in society by the report that Judge Jeune Intends .making trong remarks when delivering Judgment on tho young marchioness of Anglcuca's lalm to rescind thu decree nisi for the nul lity of her marriage, which she obtained five months ago from her husband, when he had only been wedded ton months. The marquis of Anglesea, who left the original suit undefended, has not Interfered now Ither, ii ml If there was ground for nullity befora It still exists. Tho secret of the marchioness' action Is that It sho obtain a divorce she may bo compelled to drop her title and, what is raoro Important, her Jointure will be ma terially reduced. Judge Jeune, n giving a decision In a re cent fashionable divorce ault, said the pub lic little know how largo a part mere money play In destroying tho honor r.f fashlonablo women nnd how llttlo nny kind of sentiment has to do with It. There Is nothing of that kind Involved in the Angle- sea suit, but tho Judgo takes tho view that woman should not be permitted to first drag her husband Into court for nullity ond then change her mind to savo her Income. Tho Angletea suit will be tried In camera Although Lady Curzon of Kcdlcston had rented No. 45 Grosvcnor square for tho sea son from the dowager duchess of Suthor- and, the doctor! ordered her off to Switzer land to take the rest cure.

This Increases tho Improbability that she will return to India nnd the probability that Lord Curzon will retlro In tho fall.

DAPITAN, Mindanao, April 8. (Corre spondence of tho Associated Press.) For tho past week tho United Slates commission has been steaming around tho coasts of Mlu- danao, touching nt Its principal ports to Interview tho leading inhabitants gathered In from tho adjacent districts. Two im portant points weru settled unmuly, that Mindanao shall not bo ruled by local gov ernments nnd that slavery shall bo abolished. Tho commissioners camo to Mindanao with the Intention of establishing several pro vincial governments, but wero not long In abandoning that Intention. That much wan soon decided at Zamboauga, aud tho fur ther tho commission puuotrntod Into thu country and tho moro familiar they becamo with the heterogeneous character of Its peo ple, tho moro they were convinced of tha unwisdom of attempting to apply any con siderable measure of rlvtl government on Amorlcan lines to peoplo tho great ma jority of whom nro nothing moro or less than savages, peaceful nnd thoroughly friendly to Amcrlcaus, perfectly willing to bo advised and overruled by them, but hav ing no conception of nor deslrn for any thing approaching aclf-govornmeut Ideals. Thero Is, therefore, no longer any question but that Mindanao nnd the adjacent islands nro to bo ruled for years t como by a government, genornl in character and di rectly representative of the central govern ment to bo established lu Manila July 1. Thero will be local representatives of tho governor In the half-dozen districts of the Island, who mny recommend nn to tho pro priety of what tbe peoplo desire, but thr latter will hnvo no direct voice In nffalra of government, excepting thoso In tho pair of provinces to bo established on the north orn coast. SI n if "America" In IIiikIIhIi. At Cutnbatto, when thn commission party disembarked on tho high river bank, they woro greeted with singing of "America" in English by tho Chlncso nnd Filipino school children. At military headquarters a long prlvato conference wns held by tho com mlsnlonerH with representatives of all In terests Involved. While thts hearing was In progress th town was rapidly filling with clans of Moroa from near nnd far. Tho principal dattos, with their ndvlsors, wero brought In for confcrcnco n group at a tlmo, nnd encouraged to talk about their conditions. Tho first of their report wan that 'they were moro prosperous and contented under American rulo than over before, becuuso they felt their rights to bo moro settled nnd secure, and they seemed to hnvo no objec tion to continuing unit tern ns at present, so far ns govornmoutal control went. Slavery a Hellenic .Matter. Tho question of slavery was scarcely touched upon In tho conference, except In cidentally, but President Tnft afterward assured tbo Associated Press correspon dent that since tho constitution prohibits slavery In nny territory .governed by tho United States tho question would be dealt with. He was of tho opinion that If the peoplo in tho United Stnles wore willing that the govcrnmont In tho Philippines deal with the question deliberately aud Im partially without arousing projudlco by ex cited discussion or precipitate action thnt slavery can bu abolished In some Islands more slowly than In others porhaps, but still effectively. With the polygamy question It Is differ ent. No prohibition of polygamy is likely to bo enforced, nt present at least, ngalnit tho savages ot tho southern Philippine Islands. Tho commission quitted Catabatto with Ideas considerably enlarged aud clar ified as to the situation In that part of tha country. Tho party arrived at Davao on tho morn ing of April 4. Thu chiefs of all tho tribes in tno vicinity enmo in turn nutoro tne commissioners und minted tho circum stances, conditions and customs nt them selves and thoir peoples and told about their relations with other tribes.
