Olllcer Viildere In Leaic
In Three Week.
PEK1N, May 20. 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.
Two German marlno battailous have left
for Talng Tau and Ilrltlsh transports have
been ordered. Count von Yaldcrsee ex
Dccts to leave about the middle of June
Bmperor Kwang Ilsu has Instructed agents
to proparo the palaces for occupation by

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

mediately, us her health, especially her
nervous system, has been much upset by the
leeplcssness to which she became a prey
beforo leaving India. This Increases tho
Improbability that she will return to India
nnd the probability that Lord Curzon will
retlro In tho fall.

COMMISSIONERS ENCOUNTER SURPRISES

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.
Former limirireii t Help.
Although yestorday was Sunday it was
far from being a day of rest for tho com
missioners or thu peoplo ot Cagayan, the
commercial metropolis ot northern Min
danao. The first person to grnsp the hand
of President Tnft when he climbed from the
ship's cutter to tho wharf was General
Capistrano, who, before his surrender less
than a fortnight previous, was tho chief
Insurgent of Mindanao and whoso surrender
practically ended hostilities In tho Island.
At thn business session Capistrano occu
pied a front seat and, by Invltntlon ot Pres
ident Tnft, spoko Intelligently upon tho
