HAV! Bids Will Re Opened for It at Madrid June 9, The Navy Department has been informed that bids for the purchase of the steel floating dry dock atHavena will be opened at Madrid June 9 next instead of at Ha- vana on the 3ist instant, as originally in- tended. It is said that the change is made im the hope that some of the European gov- érnments may be induced to enter into the competition for the dock. The United States government has already offered to bay $280,000 for the dock, but Spain re- jected the offer in the; hope of securing better terms from other bidders. The United States government will umdoubted- ly make a bid for the dock, but it4s ques- tionable whether it will increase its origi- nal offer. |CHINA ASKS JAPAN'S AID|WILL RETURN STOCK Washington Gas Company Stockholders Re- ceiv2 Another ircular. ‘he Committee Announces Formally That Agreement to Buy Stock in Null and Void.

PARIS, May 19.—After the acquittal of the notorious Jew baiter, Max Regis, on the charge of inciting to murd2r and in- cendiarism, at Grenoble last evening, a hos- tile crowd followed him to the railroad sta- tion, compelling the authorities to protect him with soldiers. A mob then marched to the Officers’ Club, chearing for Dreyfus and Picquart, jeering and hooting the offi- cers, who turne® a water hose on the crowd. The latter responded with a shower of stones. Several officers wre injured by the mob. The rioters were finally dis- persed after a number of policemen had been hurt. On the news of the acquittal of Max Regis reaching Algiers, of which city he is a former mayor, a mob formed and marched on the Jewish quarter, and the pclice and military had to be summoned in order to prevent the rioters from wrecking houses of Jews. Fifty arrests were made before the mob was dispersed. ASKS INSTRUCTIONS Gen, Brocke Telegraphs Conditions of Cuban Leaders. WOULD DELIVER ARMS TO ALCALDES Secretary Alger Communicates With the President. ee INCLINATION OF OFFICIALS aos “It is the sheerest nonsense,” sald Sec- retary Alger today in commenting upon the published story that the President or himself had countermanded any order made by Gen. Brooke relative to the dis- armament of the Cuban troops. The state of the case, in brief, is as fol- low The President canvassed very thoroughly with Secretary Alger and Gen. Brooke the best method of securing the disbandment of the Cuban troops and their re-entry into industrial life. It was de- cided that a necessary step toward this end was the surrender of the arms held by the Cuban soldiers. It was apprehend- ed, that, retaining their arms, some, if not a large proportion, inclined by thelr past predatory existence, would into bri- gandage. Also it apprebended that another element, while not going to this reme, would serve to further sinister igns by ambitious leaders against what- pr government might be erected in C the bu and agricultural clas which hav right representation proportion to the numbers. o the President, himself, ordered Gen. trooke to cause the arms of the Cu soldiers to be deliv up to representa tives of the United which, Cuba being at present military of the these was in St under entatives With control United army Brooke to carr out ent’s plan, He has arrived cre the Cuban leaders, sntiment, they say, make of disarmament that the placed in the custody of the mayors of he Realizing that to assent to ch conditions weuld be contrary to the sidext’s instructions, Gen.

That is the state of the case at present The President has not yet notified the War Department of his intentions, ‘The in- clination of the officials is to adbere to the original order, for it is still believed to be wise to have these Cuban arms placed be- yond the reach of any lawless element in Cuba. Possibly Gen. Brooke has planned to attain this end without offending the senti- mental scruples of the Cubans. The detail of his scheme are not perfectly known here, and perbaps he had some means of assuring control over the arms to the United States army, while allowing them nominally to re- main in the custody of the mayors of mu- nicipalitie A sinister sentence occurs in the outline of Gomez's proclamation, as published this morning; namely, the reference to the av ability of the arms for the defense of Cuba against {ts enemies, under the p: rangement. But, after all, this is re as only an expression thrown out to pl the sentimentalists among the Cubans, and not as conveying a threat against the United States. It is said at the War Department that should the Cuban leaders refuse to accept Gen. Brooke's proffer, whether it is condi- tioned upon the surrender of arms to United States army officers or to Cul n Mayors, that refusal will terminate the efforts of the governor gerferal to come to a satisfac- tory arrangement with those leaders. F thereupon, Gen. Brooke will proceed to dress himself directly to the Cuban priv soldiers. He will have his Ur States army off. y bona fide Cuban soldier who is willing to comply with the conditions laid down by him, and that will be done without further reference to any of the malcontent leaders, who have so long retarded a settlement. Gen, Corbin to Confer With President. Adjutant General Corbin went to Hot Springs last night for the purpose of con- ferring with the Prohident in regard to the proposed disarmament of the Cuban troops, and it is expected that definite instructions will be sent to Gen. Brooke at Havana tomorrow for his guidance in the matter. The only question of importance at issu> Is as to whether Gen. Brooke shall be au- thorized to modify his orders so as to per- mit the Cuban soldiers to transfer their arms to the mayors of the different muni- cipalities as the representatives of the United States army. It is stated at the War Department this afternoon that no word has yet been receiv- the impression prevails that he action until he has had an opportunit sussing the question with his cabinet, cretary of War. arrangement may be made whereby all Cuban soldiers who prefer to do so may deposit their arms with the mayors of the municipalities where they reside, with the distinct understand- ing, however, that such arms shall be trans- ferred to the custody of the military repre- sentatives of the United States for safe keeping, until the United States govern- rent shall be reimbursed for its outlay on account of the payment of the Cuban troops. Whether such an arrangement would bx satisfactory to the Cuban “generals” is not known, but whether it ts or not, it proba- bly represents the utmost concession that President McKinley is likely to make in the premises. Object of Disarmament. Allowing Cuban officials to retain custody of the arms would defeat the very object of the transfer and lead to the identical state of affairs that it is the present policy of the administration to avoid. The United States government has no ulterior purpose in this matter, and it is an insult to the President and his advisers to insinuate that the Cubans are to be disarmed in order to prevent resistance to annexation. It is explained that the surrender of the arms is largely for the purpose of prevent- ing any padding of the Cuban army roll. The Cuban soldier presenting himself for his $75 or $100 must have with him his weapons of war, which he will surrender on receipt of th> gratuity. Those who can- not show any weapons must be able to prove beyond question that they really served in the Cuban army, but had given up thelr arms some months ago, before the proposition was mad> to distribute the § 000,000 among the Cuban soldiers. — DENIED SY C#IEF DEVERY. di or at least with the It is not impossible that an Rumor Regarding Foul Play in Case of Capt.

NEW YORK, May 19.—Chief of Police Devery was asked today regarding the statements by Mr. Moss at the Mazet com- mittee hearing yesterday that there was a rumor that Police Captain O'Keeffe had been murdered instead of having died from an accident. Devery said: “An investigation was made of the case at the time, and it is absurd to say that there was anything wrong. It is an out- rage to make a charge now that there was anything suspicious about Captain O’Keeffe’s death.” IMPLICATES BROWN - — Suspect Again Accused of Complicity in Sidell Murder, NELLIE TURNER FULLY EXONERATED Statement by Armstead Taylor Re= peated to Sheriff Thompson. pec Snap ee DEATH OF MRS.

Hird, the District chemist, 19 today engaged in making an examination of certain clothing furnished him last even- ing by Mr. Kilgour, the prosecuting attor- ney of Montgomery county, Md., for the purpose of ascertaining whether stains on the clothing are due to human blood. It i= understood the clothing belongs to or was found in the home of the colored man ang woman who were arrested and confined in the jail at Rockville under suspicion of - having been connected with the murder of the Rosenstein family. The clothing con- s of wearing apparel and a tablecloth or shawl. Prof. Hird, although he will not be able to complete his examination for @ day or two, is of the opinion that the stains on the clothing of the woman were made by blood. The clothing of the man appears to have been washed recently, and only @ chemical anal. will determine to what the stains on it are due. Arranging for Grand Jury's Action, An indictment will not be reported, hold- ing Taylor for the murder of Sergt. Pas- sau, before Monday next. A large number of witnesses appeared before the grand jury today and testified as to the oceur- rence, while practically every policeman who partici in the incidents leading to the arrest was at the District attorney's office at intervals during the day, furnish- ing statements of the affair to be used jn arranging the list of witn 3 of the kill- ing.

ROSENSTELN. It Third in the List of Armstead Taylor's Victims, News of the death Mrs. Dora Rosen- stein in the Maryland University Hospital v recelved at police headquarters la last night. Had she regained con: us ness and been able to recite the cireum- stances of the tragedy the question of John Alfred Brown's implication in the af- fair would have doubtless been settled to the satisfaction of the authorities here, as well as tn Montgomery county. Taylor's own confession makes him a double mur- derer with the death of Mrs. Rosenstein, but the declarations of the officials stamp him as the murderer of three people. Sheriff Thompson and State's Attorney Kilgour of Montgomery county are still in communication with the local authorities. The latter visited this city yesterday, and saw Taylor at the jail after he had been committed by the coroner's jury. Taylor repeated to him his last confession, impli- cating Brown and exonerating Nellie Tur- neg. While the removal of Brown from Rockville to Baltimore yesterday is re- garded as a wise move on the part of Sheriff Thompson, residents of Montgom- ery county express the belief that Brown would not have been lynched had he re- mained in the county jail. All the residents of the county are anxious that the case shall be fully investigated, and all the par- ties concerned brought to justice. The lynching of Brown, they agree, would be the means of putting a serious obstacle tn the way of the sheriff, and this, they de- clare, they will not do. Sheriff at Headquarters. This morning Sheriff Thompson called at Police headquarters and conferred with In- Spector Boardman about the case. Later he saw Detective Burrows and learned from him what the prisoner, Tay-
