MONEY CASES ARE POSTPONED Senator Is Conflard to Bed from In Jarles and Trial Goea Over. WASHINGTON', May 1 An unexpected move to nolle proses the three cases of alleged assault growing out of the alter cation on a street car lsst week. In which Senator Money of Mississippi, Conductor Orpha II. Shaner and ex-Truck Foreman James E. Hooper of the district fire depart ment figured resulted today in postponing the cases In the police court until Tues day. After a protracted conference between counsel for Senator Money In District At torney Mullowney'a office it was decided by them to allow the cases to drop and when they appeared In the police court later Mr. Mullowney announced to Judge Kimball that after investigating the casea on both sldea he had concluded that the ends of Justice would be subserved by dismissing the chargea against all three defendanta. Ho would, therefore, nolle proses them. The attorneys for Shsner and Hooper protested against this action. Senator Mff Lsurln, the senator's colleague, who, with Attorney Bell, represented Mr. Money, ex plained that Mr. Money, had been confined to his room since Saturday and was threat ened with pneumonia.

The court stated that the only point waa as te power of the district attorney to nolle prosee, which he was Inclined to sustain, but he finally agreed to postpone announc ing hla conclusion until Tuesday morning. SUES PERU FOR PRIZE MONEY American Cltlaea Claims Over Seven millions for Discovering; Giito. WASHINGTON, May 2. Messrs. Egbert Jamteson, Dudley and Mlcbener and Robert Christy as attorneys for John Celestln Landreau have filed with the secretary of state a petition against the government of Peru claiming a one-half Interest In the reward, amounting to 115,000,000, promised by that government to his brother. J. Theo- pbyle Landreau, the original discoverer of valuable deposits of guano upon Its sea coast and lltteral islands In 1865. The Peruvian government obligated Itself by contract with the brothers to pay an amount equal to 6 per cent on the value of the guano discoveries so made, - not, however, to operate upon more than the Brat 6,000,000 tons. Thla contract waa toe result of a conces sion made by the. Landreaus at the solid tatloa of Peru, which' gave to the discoverer a one-third interest of all property dlscov ered belonging to Peru and not previously known to it. The claim la presented by John Celestln Landreau aa a naturalised cltlien of the United States and sets forth that for many yeara and repeatedly hla clsim has been brought to the attention of Peru by the United States ministers to that country and tn various other waya baa been diligently pressed, yet no part of this claim has been paid to him nor haa any tender of settle merit been made to him. The proceeds of the guano discovered by the Landreaus. It la declared, restored the waning national credit of Peru and enabled her to make extensive governmental lm provementa. The principal obstacle to the prosecution of the claim thua far haa been the denial by Peru of the genuineness of Landreau' American naturalization.

Agulnaldo was the special subject of discussion In the senate today. As soon as the Philippine government bill waa taken up Mr. Car mark of Tennessee resumed bis criticism of the Philippine committee because of Its refusal to call Axulnalrio and other Fil ipinos ss witnesses. He maintained that s reflections by witnesses had been cast on the character of Agulnaldo he ought to be permitted in all decency to defend him self. Mr. Carmack'a contention was sharply combatted by Mr. Foraker of Ohio, Mr. Mc- Comas of Maryland and Mr. Burton of Kan sas. Mr. Culberson of Texas, In support of a tatement by Mr. Carmack that the War department suppressed information and falsified the Philippine situation, presented letter from the secretary of war, which he thought was proof of the Tennesse sen- tor's assertion. The secretary stated in the letter that It was not practicable to upply the Information requested, because o special accouat waa kept of Philippine war expenses and it would require the rervlre of a large force of clerks to work out the information desired. Both the Rosebud reservation bill and the sundry Ivll appropriation bill received considera tion, but no final action. Mr. Carmack of Tennessee continued his remarks of yesterday on the Philippine situation. He said be could s no good reason for the majority's refusal to sum mon Agutnaldo, Mabinl and other Filipinos to appear aa witnesses before the commit tee. General Funston had said that Agut naldo had confessed to him that he (Agul naldo) had had Luna assassinated because Luna was becoming too popular. Governor Taft had testified that Oeneral Funston had said Agulnaldo had bad Luna killed lest Luna should kill him. Mr. Foraker wanted to know what the killing of Luna by another Filipino had to do with the senate's action on the pending bill. Mr. Carmack said It had been the purpose of the majority of the Philippine committee to show that Agulnaldo was a thief, bribetaker and murderer and be urged that In common falrneaa Agulnaldo ought to be heard in his own defense. Mr. Dubois said It seemed strange, that after the committee had decided not to summon Agutnaldo as a witness General MacArtbur for the first time had testified nriojr that. Agulnaldo was a man of high character. N BEHALF 0F THE BOERS Day Is Designated for Speeches and nesolations In the House. WASHINGTON, May 2.

The subcom mittee consists of Represcntativea Adams, Cousins and Hooker. u ' The committee offered a favorable report on the bill of Representative Hltt of Illi nois establishing a United States diplo matic and consular service In Cuba ' lth a United States minister at $10,000, sec retary at $2,000, second secretary $1,500, consul general at Havana $5,000, consuls at Clenfuegos and Santiago $3,000 each.
