The fron gir royal | A TREATY OF ALLIANCE Statement That Spain, France and Russia Have Signed a Compact. With the German Influence in Morocco—The Object of Counteracting Pence Negotiations, ‘The Madrid correspondent of the Lon- don Times says: “One paper here declares boldly, on the authority of an anonymous French diplo- mat, that, owing to M. Hanotaux’s exer- tions, a treaty of alliance has been signed between Spain, France and Russia, with the object of counteracting the Anglo-Ger- man influence in Morocco. Other papers mention the matter, but without affirming that the treaty has been actually signed. “The idea of a permanent rapprochement between France and Spain is certainly in the air, and may in time assume consider- able importance. It had its origin in France's role in the peace negotiations and reports of friction with England over Spain's military activity in the neighbor- hood of Gibraltar. Many patriotic Span- jards who apprehend further sacrifices during the forthcoming peace negotiations regard the suggestion of a French alli- ance with much favor, especially as French help would be very useful also in the great werk of financial and economic reorgan- ization which Spain must undertake di- rectly peace is concluded. Popular Dissatisfaction. “At the same time ft must be noted that, the protocol, signed under French au- spices, has produced a deal of popular dis- satisfaction, because while making the loss of the Antilles irrevocable it may also re- sult in the loss of the Philippines. “It remains to be seen whether France will render effective assistance. “The recent article in the Paris Temps on the situation is regarded as very sig- nificant. It is asked whether the word ‘gratuitously’ in the Temps’ statement that ‘France has no interest in compromising herself gratuitously with a country evi- dently destined to more active part in great international affairs’ slipped in acci- dentally or was intended as a hint that France might be induced to do more for a substantial consideration.” All the Madrid papers announce the re- assembling of the cortes between the 6tii and 10th of September. El Liberal says ‘Parliament is the last hepe ef the people. If it does not arouse the nation from its lethargy, does not a know how to sever with a firm hand the ue: which bind Spain to so many dead , and array all Spaniards in a solid bedy, the organization of the future will fall, like all others, into irreparable dis- e , and it will end by losing the little e over the destinies of the country The Government's Plan. The Londcn Daily Chronicle's Madrid cor- spondent says: “The government hopes to close the cortes again before thé peace commission assembles in Paris. The suspension of the guarantees will be partially raised, allow- ing public meetings to be held for municipal elections. ‘La Cerrepondencla De Espano, El Cor- reo and El Pais seem to favor the aban- doning of the Philippines.

More Matrimonial Difficulties for Judge Thomas Jefferson Mackey Effort to Get Divorce. From the New York Herald Today. Another chapter has teen added to the history of the matrimonial difficulties, which are reported to have been many, of Thomas Jefferson Mackey, formerly a mem- ber of the supreme court of the stata of South Carolina. Judge Mackey s+has been living recently in furnished rooms in the house of Mrs. Daisy Catherine, at 23d street and 7th avenus Accompanying him was a beautiful young woman, whom he introduced to those in the house as Mrs. Mackey. In Charlestown, W. Va., the young woman was well known as the daughter of Col. George A. Porterfield, a prominent resident of that place, and the interest of the situation lles in the fact that at the time of her marriage to Judge Mack- ey, on July 19, the judge had already con- tracted a marriage, which he now seeks to have annulled, with Sarah Leonore Curtis, who was said to be living in this city at No, 206 West 114th street, though she could not be found there last night. Shortly after the arrival of tha couple at her house Mrs. Catherine began to have suspicions that all was not right. She no- ticed that Mrs. Mackey was apparently a prisoner in the room occupied by the judge and herself on th> second floor. An alcohol stove served to cook the meals of the couple, and Mrs. Mackey did not leave the house from the moment of her arrival. The Door Was Locked. ‘When the landlady went to the room on Saturday to deliver a pitcher of ice water she found the door locked, and Mrs. Mack- ey, who was within, said that she was un- able to open it, her husband having locked her in when he went out. The young wo- man said that she was most unhappy, and intimated that she was kept a close pris- oner, unable to communicate with her rela- tives or friends. When I called at the house yesterday I was received by Judge Mackey, a tall, dig- nified southerner, of aristocratic appearance and apparently about sixty years old. He indignantly denied that his wif2 was being restrained of her Mberty, but appeared to be under great excitement and to fear that he might be placed under arrest. “I came to New York,” he said, “to push my case for separation from a woman to whom I was married in 1891. Her name when I married her was Sarah Leonore Curtis, and I have since ascertained that the marriage was invalid. I regard my marriage to Miss Porterfield, my present wife, as perfectly legal. It is absurd to Suppose that I would have come to this city had I not been assured that I was act- ing in a perfectly legal manner.” Judge Mackey then showed me the fol- lowing letter, which he said he was about to send to Col. Porterfield, and which he said would fully explain his position: “New York, August 22, 1898, “Col. George A. Porterfield: “Sir—I have just read your letter of the 19th instant, addressed to my wife, in which you give the assurance that no prosecution shall be instituted against me for sixty days in order that I may be free to prosecute an action in the supreme court of this city which shall establish the le- gality of my marriage with your daughter. Relying upon that assurance, I will begin such action within the next four days to annul the marriage entered into by me with one Sarah Curtis in 1891. | ‘That action, of course, should have pre- ceded my marriage to your daughter, and I so intended, but the peculiar circum- stances that surrounded me at the date of my marriage to her had the effect of tem- porarily clouding my judgment, and my devotion to her led me to run the terrible tisk of Ta 5 a prosecution for the al- leged crime of bigamy and suffering also public odium and disgrace rather than abandon her to a situation that she deem- €d intolerable. I never for an instant doubted, however, that my marriage of 1891 was not a lawful marriage, and that I was legally free to marry your daughter. That I shall establish by legal evidence in the courts without delay. “THOMAS JEFFERSON MACKEY.” His Wife's Declaration. As evidence of his sincerity, Judge Mac- key then called in his wife, who, when ask- ed whether she knew that the judge had a wife living at the time of her marriage to him, said that she was aware of the fact. She seemed to be nervous and under some restraint, but corroborated every statement made by the judge, and even produced a typewritten copy of a letter which she said she had sent to her father for the purpose of placing before him the judge’s version of his matrimonial troubles. . Judge Mackey then left the room, and the moment the door had closed behind him his wife’s manner changed, and she declared with vehemence that she had no knowledge of his previous marriage at the time she married him. “Judge Mackey,” she said, ‘came to live in the same house in Washington where I was staying, and paid me every attention. He was a most devoted suitor. I did not accept him at first, and he then wrote to my father. He accompanied me to my home in Charleston and stayed two weeks. My mother said that he must either leave the house or we must get married. I never loved him, but he won me by perseverance. Finally I broke my engagement with Alex- ander Spottsford of Virginia and consented to marry Judge Mackey. We went from Washington to New York, and after we had been there for a few days Judge Mac- key confes#ed to me that he had an impor- tant secret to reveal to me. After urging me to be brave and have every confidence in him, he told me that there was a woman in New York to whom he had been married in 1891. That was the first time I had heard of the other marriage. After that we went to Pittsburg, Chicago and Phila- delphia, and then returned here. My father does not know where I am.” When I asked her whether it was true that she had been held a@ prisoner by her husband she said that it was not exactly that, but he never permitted her to go out without him. Just then the judge returned and fhur- riedly ordered his wife to pack her trunk, as he had a cab waiting at the door. A few minutes later the couple drove off toward the 22d street ferry. ——_—_+e-—______ Hobson Sails for Santiago.

The international arbitrators at Quebec are now ready for the hard work before them. The ceremonies of organization took place in the parliament buildings yester- day, and while they were characterized by a considerable degree of dignity, the ut- most degree of friendliness was manifest in every word and movement, and an amic- able adjustment of dll questions is predict- ed by both the American and British com- missioners. At noon the commissioners met in private session in the legislative as- sembly, the upper house Of the Quebec par- Mament, all of the commissioners except Representative Dingley and Sir James .,in- ter being present. 5 After the formal exchange of credentials, Senator Fairbanks, as chairman of the American delegation, named Lord Herschell of England as permanent prestdent of the joint commission. ‘Three secretaries were then chosen, Chandler P, Anderson repre- senting the Americans, W. C. Cartwright for Great Britain and Henry Bourassa, M. P., representing the Canadians. A com- mittee of four commissioners was appoint- ed to formulate a plan of procedure, and will report at the next meeting of the com- missioners, on Thursday at 11 a.m. After this work of organization was fin- ished the commissjoners proceeded to the legislative council Chamber, where a public reception was tendered to them by Mayor 8. N. Parent and the city council of Que- bee. A small party of the best citizens of Quebec and a number of American and Canadian ladies occupied the first row of seats in the gallery, A Public Reception. Everything was done with the degree of formal precision. The sioners filed into the chamber in of the visiting citizens and stood about a long table during the addresses. Lord Herschell stood at the head of the British commissioners on the east side of the table, and Senator Fairbanks at the head of the American commissioners on the west side. When the commissioners had taken their places Mayor Parent, standing at the foot of the table, addressed them. His words were delivered first in French and then in English, Senator Fairbanks replied as follows: “Your worship, the American commis stoners, in whose behalf I have the honor to speak, are deeply sensible of the high tribute of an address from the venerable and historical city of Quebec, and we take pleasure in expressing to you our grati- tude therefor. This spot {s full of historic memories. The soil has been enriched by English, American and French blcod; it has been made glorious by the deeds of heroes, deeds which are our common heri- tage. The stories of Montcalm, Wolfe and Montgomery will endure when that noble shaft, dedicated in commemoration of Wolfe and Montcalm, has faded from mem- ory. “Let us hepe that this goodly city shall know no future strife, save the wholesome and enervating contests which are the rich fruit of peace. Kinship Emphasizea. “It is a cause of immeasurable gratifica- tion to us and to our countrymen that the narrow traditional prejudices which so long divided us have disappeared. Recent events which sharply enlisted the attention of the world have served to emphasize our kin- ship and to increase the bonds of affection which should exist between the two Eng- lish-speaking nations. We indulge the hope that the joint high commission which you have honored with your cordial wel- come may by its deliberations stiil further prcmote that feeling of amity and good will which we desire should ever continue be- tween the kingdom of Great Britain and the republic of the United States,” Lord Herschell followed Senator Fair- banks, and spcke as follows: “Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen: On behalf of the British commissioners I desire to as- sociate ourselves with the observations which have just been addressed to you in such eloquent terms by Senator Fairbanks. We also highly appreciate the honor you have done us in presenting this address to us, and thank you!for the welcome with which you have réceiV@l us here. I am sure that we, in conjunction with our brother commissiofiers, ‘representing the neighboring republi¢, join in the expres- sion of the hope, J may, I trust, say the sanguine expectation, that the conference about to commencé result in estab- lisking relations completely satisfactory and of the fullest amity, between neighbor- ing peoples, relatiérs Which cannot but inure to the benefit of both countries.” ‘The commissioners then immediately left the building, to meet again Thursday. During the afternoon Don M. Dickinson and a number of gentlemen of the western states, interested in the’ Canadian lumber trade, had a conference’ pith the American commissioners. : Representative Dingley arrived in the afternoon. 5 : greatest commis- advance Labouchere Sees Dangers for Us.

The Cuban General is Said to Have Committed Impositions and Out- rages at Gtbara. » Havana advices, state: The Spanish cruiser Infanta Isabel left Havana on the 14th Instant, and arrived in the vicinity of Gibara on the 16th. Be- fore entering the port she hoisted a flag of truce. The United States gunboat Nash- ville, which was in port, inquired if she carried documents for the American ship. The Isabel answered in the negative, and signaled that the peace protocol had been signed. The news was received on board the Nashville enthusiastically, the crew cheer- ing and shouting. The Infanta Isabel's crew responded with vivas for the king. When the Infanta Isabel entered the port an American officer boarded her and in- fcrmed her commander-that the town was in the hands of Gen. Calixto Garcia. At 5 o'clock on the morning of the 17th instant a number of Spanish and American officers went ashore together. They were met at the landing by Col. Alfredo Aranzo, Gen. Garcia’s adjutant, who, with three men, escorted them to Auras, where the insurgent escort remained, while the Amer- ican and Spanish officers proceeded to Aguas Claras to deliver doouments to Gen. Luque. Gen. Luque, upon abandoning Gibar: proceeded with his troops by way of Mhy- ari to Holguin. It is reported that Gen. Calixto Carcia after entering Gibara assaulted the custom house administrator, slapping his face, and afterward ordered a negro to beat Fim with a machete. It is also said that Gen. Garcia demanded money from the Gibara mer- chants. The merchants refused to comply with his demand, whereupon he ordered that they should pay double the amount of his first exaction. Gen. Garcia also ordered the arrest of over 1,400 Spanish residents, who were liberated After the arrival of the Infanta Isabel. The commander of the Nashville said’ he had no troops ashore, but that he would not allow the inhabitants to be ill- treated. It is reported that Gen. Garcia resigned on the 19th instant; and that his command was taken over by the leader Luis Feria. It was also said that Gen. Garcia w: about to leave Gibara. Nothing is known, however, in official circles regarding the report that Garcia had resigned, and that his resignation had been accepted by the insurgent government. A person who is in a position to be well informed says he believes the report, but irsurgent sympathizers deny it. Lack of means of communication prevents an au- thoritative confirmation or denial of the report being obtained. Advices from the authorities at Nueva Paz and n nbcring places have been pub- lished in Havana local papers denying the reports of recent outrages. A band of insurgents under Gen. Alejan- dro Rodriguez, under a flag of truce, re- cently entered the towns of Piloto and Puerta Golpe to obtain supplies. They paid for what they bought, and retired in an orderly manner. Yesterday the troops at Marlanao de- tained an insurgent sergeant named Ro- bustiano Maqueira, but later set him at liberty, under orders from Gen. Blanco. The American tug G. W. Childs arrived today from Key West. She had ten pas- sengers on board. —————_+-0+____ PYTHIANS’ BIG PARADE. dated late yesterday, Eighteen Thousand Men in Line— Charges to Be Investigated. . The most important feature of the Pyth- fan Encampment program at Indianapolis yesterday was the big parade, participated in by all the Uniform Rank and subordi- nate lodges. Careful estimates place the number of men in line at 18,000, of which 10,000 were members of the Uniform Rank, led by Maj. Gen. Carnahan. Gov. Mount rode a horse in the parade. The weather was intensely hot and several hundred were forced at different times to leave the pa- rade. The great body of men began to move from Camp Colgrove at 2:30, reaching the reviewing stand at the court house, on ‘Washington street, at 3:50. It required two hours for the parade, about twenty-five men abreast, to pass a given point. At the court house the Pythian army was reviewed by Supreme Chancellor Colgrove. Next to the parade the most important event was the meeting of the Supreme Lodge in the house of representatives at 9 o'clock. In_ the executive session Supreme Keeper of Records and Seals R. L. C. White asked for a hearing on the ground of per- sonal privilege. He said that the officers of the Supreme Lodge had been attacked and the charges made against them should be investigated. If these charges were true, then the men were not fit for their positions. If the charges were not true the man or men who made them were not fit to be Pythians or members of the Supreme Lodge. Mr. White was followed by Thomas L. Sears, master of the exchequer; Represent- ative Fears of Wisconsin and Representa- tive Burns of Ohio, the last two members of the executive committee of the Supreme Lodge. The following members were ap- pointed to investigate the charges: Repre- sentative Gale of Massachusetts, Bangs of North Dakota, Watson of Indiana, Daniels of Idaho and Richardson of Virginia. During the business session the reports of the officers were distributed. The Knights of Khorassan hed no ses- sion on account*of the parade.

A dispatch from Manila, dated yesterday, says: The rumors of troubles between the natives and the Americans are for the most part unfounded. The fact is that the insur- gents have been unwilling to disarm until assured of the permanence of American protection. The distrust felt as to the Spanish Bank, which originated in rumors as to an exces- sive note issue to aid the Spanish author- ities, led to a run on the institution, but the British banking houses came to its as- sistance and averted a failure. Business is now booming. The obstruc- tions in the River Pasig, which flowsg through the town, have been removed, and the waterworks have resumed operations. NESS BOOM. Dewey's Fatherly Role. The Associated Press in London learns that the Philippine junta received a di: patch from Manila Monday, announcing that matters there are rapidly quieting down, and that the friction between Gen. Aguinaldo and the Americans is disappear- ing. According to the junta’s advices the in- surgents for a time regarded Gen. Merritt and Gen.
