THE PRETENDER NOT ONE OF THE MALCONTENTS. Foreign Residents Declare Warships Should Be Sent and the Na- tives Deprived of Their Arms. Epectal Dispatch to The Call VICTORIA, May 18.—Latest advices | from the South Seas contiin interest- ing news anent Samoan affairs. At a| great meeting _t the rebel seat of gov ernment the rebel party hoisted a new flag with one stripe between two red | stripes. It is said that the hoisting of | the flag was merely a device to give the now dormant rebel party renewed life. Tamasesa, the rebel head or King, does not seem to have joined in any way in the demonstration, nor had he signed the notice sent to the Consuls of the hoisting of the flag. Also the leading | chiefs of Atua, the province of the ex- | iled King or Pretender, Mataafa, were conspicuous by their absence from the eeting. That is taken to Indicate| at there is forming a distinct Ma- | taafa partv which will favor the Gov- ernment rather than the rebels. The natives of Savaai are the more | radicaly of the rebel party. They are for wak, while the Opulu people, head- ed by Tamasesa, don't want to go to that extremity. Foreigners in discuss- | ing the situation say everything seems to show that the stand taken by the | Presidents not to retain’ Mataafa is the | proper course, at any rate until the rebels are disarmed. Without arms the | rebels would subside, and there would | be no more meetings or hoisting of flags. That the country should be in such a state of discord and rebellion is a dis- grace to the three Presidents, when by simply the display of a warship apiece the rebels would yield up their arms and retire to their homes. It will have | to be done some time and it was bet- ter to do it now before any outbreak occurs with its loss of life and property, which would be far more in the next war than in any of the past. News comes from New Zealand of an outbreak of Maoris near Ohoewai. The authorities attempted to make the Maoris pay a tax on each of the large number of dogs they have around the s, whereupen the natives wenton villa, the rpath and burned many bunga- lows of the white residents in the vicin- ity, besides roughly using the occu- pants. It is understood that no lives were taken. Her Majesty's river gunboat Torch has ben dispatched to the scene to put down the outbreak. Should the au- thorities enforce the tax on the dogs it is feared outbreaks will occur in other parts of the country. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS M.

BEEN It Is Evident That the Paris Govern- ment Is Influenced by Its Sympathy for Spain, Epectal Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, May 18.—The Herald’'s ‘Washington correspondent telegraphs: While the relations between the United States and Great Britain are being more closely knit together those with France are not as cordial as the au- thorities would Iike. It developed to- day that there has been a practical suspension of the reciprocity negotia- tions between the Washington and Parig Governments, due to the action of the Fren-h authorities in increasing the tariff duty on several American products imported largely into France. This increase is particularly felt by meat shippers, who are indignant, and protests have been made to the State | Department which have caused the de- partment to submit a formal protest on the subject to France. In the mean- time reciprocity negotiations are lan- guishing, and it is doubtful if they will be resumed until France has made a satisfactory explanation of her action, | or at least has reduced the tariff to the point it was before the existing law went into efrect. “France increased her tariff after the Dingley law went into effect,” said an official with whom I talked, “the object being to take o the increase in ex- change for, concessions to be given by this Government in accordance with the provisions of the Dingley law. To say the least it was a rather sharp trick. This Government was informed at the time the French executive re- commended its legislature to enact a law providing for the imposition of in- | creased duties on American products, and the matter at the time was brought to the attention of the Parls authori- ties, but the law was placed on the French statute books and is now being enforced.” It is the firm belief of the adminis- tration officials that the French atti- tude on the tariff and other questions between the two governments is dic- tated by her sympathy for Spain, and there is no question that the Spanish Government is receiving her moral sup- port. If the Spanish fleet could suc- ceed in raising any part of the Ameri- can blockade of Cuba the officials have no doubt that France would be one of the first nations to raise innumerable questions growing out of the alleged in- effectiveness of the blockade. As an offset to France's attitude, that assumed by Great Britain is most re- freshing to the officials, and no surprise need be expressed if the most trouble- some questions between the two gov- ernments are promtply and effectually settled. It is known that reciprocity nego- tiations between the T~ ited States and Great Britain for Be uda, Bahama and West Indian Is s belonging to Great Britain are progressing most sat- isfactory, and there is some reason to believe that Canada will soon enter into reciprocity negotlations with this country. Special Embassador Foster is also busy with the Bering Sea controversy and it is quite possible that a solution of this question may be expected with- in the near future. oOne of the most pointed features of the good relations existing between the United States and Great Britain is the fact that Sir Ju- lian Pauncefote is a dally visitor to the State Department and that his rela- tions with the officials of the depart- ment are of a most cordial character. It is denied in official circles that anything is being done looking to the formation of an alllance between the two countries, and it is stated that the arbitration treaty is still on the shelf. BELIEVES SHE INHERITS - A MILLION' DOLLARS Soledad Has a Claimant to a Share of the Famous Baker Estate. SOLEDAD, May 18.—Mrs. Willlam Ber- ry, the wife of a farmer living fifteen miles south of this place, is believed to have fallen heir to $1,000000. A grand- uncle named Baker leased his farm to a syndicate for a period ‘' of ninety-nine vears, in which time a part of the city of Philadelphia has been built upon it. The lease will soon expire, and as the estate is valued at something like Mrs. Berry expects to receive as her share of the estate something like $1,000,000. Walnut Growers Organize.

WOULD ISSUE GREENBACKS APPROVES OF ASSESSING IN- HERITANCES. Considerable Progress Made by the Senate in Considering and Amending the War Reve- nue Measure. Special Dispatch to The Call Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, May 18. The feature of to-day’s session of the Senate was the speech of Turpie (D.) of Indiana upon the war revenue measure. He strongly contended that a bond issue was unnecessary; that all the funds required for the prosecu- tion of the war could be raised through the proposed inheritance tax, by the tax on corporations, by the coinage of silver seignlorage and by the issue of legal tender notes. These four means of obtaining money would yield to the Government during the next year, he maintained, fully $300,000,000, an amount in excess of the estimated sum necessary for the conduct of the war. After an extended debate, part of which occurred in secret executive session, the conference report on the bill suspending certain parts of the existing law relating tc the purchase of supplies by the War Department was adopted. The bill permitting officers of the regular army to accept staff appoint- ments in the volunteer army without losing their rank or place in the regu- lar service was passsed. ‘When the Senate resumed consideration of the war revenue measure Turpie (D.) of Indlana said that the differences were differences only in method. There was no difference as to the purpose of sup- plying all the means and men to the Government to carry on the war. Tur- pie said that the pending bill carried a provision for a basketful of certificates of indebtedness in order to meet the de- ficiencies caused by the Dingley law. The Democrats had been sharply criticized because of the monthly deficit of the so- called Wilson law, but the Dingley law was showing similar deficits without criticism. Now, Turpie said, it was pro- posed, in the pending war measure, to take care of all the Dingley law deficits with the certificates of indebtedness. The question presented to Congress was how the necessary money should be raised. The committee was agreed that $150,000,000 should be raised by taxation and the remaining sum, from $120,000,000 to $150,000,000, by other means. Turpie thought the taX on succession was one of the best features of the bill. He said it was a tax on accumulation, while the tax on beer and tobacco was a tax on consumption. Turpie strongly urged the proposed tax on corporations. He esti- mated this tax would yield $100,000,000 and that the inheritance provision would pro- duce §50,000,000 more. This would supply the amount necessary to be raised. The remaining $150,000,000 necessary could be raised by the coinage of the silver seig- niorage and the issue of legal tender notes. The majority of the Finance Com- mittee, he said, had deemea it wise to propose the coinage of the seigniorage in deference to the wishes of the 15,000, 000 who in the last national campaign had made evident their desire for such coin- age. The section of the bill providing for the issue of greenbacks was proposed by the majority of the committee as a substi- tute for the bond section of the biil as it came from the House. For the present Turple said the Democratic polic; free and unlimited coinage of siiver had been relegated to the hustings and to the arbitrament of the ballot. e argued at Ienfth in favor.of the issue of greenbhacks and legal tender notes, declaring that the policy of their issue was almost an ideal one for the raising of money for such an emergency as now confronted this Gove ernment. “It 1s,” said he, “‘the most patriotic and least expensive scheme of securing money in a time like this known to man.”” Gorman sl'l#ge‘su‘d that the penalty for fallure to affix the stamp to any drug or medicine, perfumery, etc., was too severe, The bill, as it passed the House, provided a penalty of $100, but the Senate commit- tee had changed this so as to make the offense a_misdemeanor punishable by & fine of not more than $00 or imprison- ment for not exceeding six months. The provision was amended by striking g:xstc;g?mrln?;lTfixm flnet. leaving it to the e courts to thé.ln 100, o make it less FOrman move en to stri] clause providing for Imp"lsonfl'llél?lt.flut e Gray, Mills and Cullom also supported the motion and Aldrich, Jones of Ar- kansas, Chilton, White and Cockrell op- posed {t. The amendment was rejected— 26 to 27. Gorman asked the Senate to return to section five of the bill, providing that any person willfully evading the requirement to place revenue stamps upon any legal document or taxed paper of any kind should be fined not more than $500 or im- grlsoned not more than six months, or oth. He moved that the fine be fixed at $100 instead of agreed to—30 to 16. Gorman then moved to strike out the This was agreed to aine motion was imprisonment clause. without division. On Gorman's motion the imprisonment clauses were stricken out of sections 8 and 9, providing for the use of revenue stamps. The Senate refused to strike out the imprisonment feature of section 11, which provides for the afixing of stamps to stocfl transferred. ’In section 15 of the bill the stamp taxes provided for were made effective ““on the first day of June.” This was amended so as to read ‘‘on the fifteenth day of June.” The bill was then laid aside for the day and at 5 o'clock the Senate went into ex- ecutive session and at b5:15 p. m. ad- Journed.

PARIS, May 18.—Mr. Chamberlain’s sensational speech is undeniably re- sponsible for the decided feeling of nervousness here. The French press begins to see it has adopted a mistaken policy in declaring pronouncedly for Spain as opposed to the United States. The Debats, in a leader published on Monday, tries to smooth away matters. It admits that the English have profit- | | ed by France's action in this matter, | | and it says: ‘“The moment is passed to | | sit in judgment on the war. France | has never been really hostile to Ameri- | | cans. This will be well understood | across the Atlantic, where the present | misunderstanding has been dissipated. | Friends of Spain have something bet- ter to do than to declaim against her utterances.” The general tone of the article is one of fear that things have gone too far. Businesses which depend largely for their success upon the patronage of Americans have already felt the effects of the quasi campaign against the United States In favor of Spain. The | proprietor of one of the principal ho- tels here inveighed bitterly against the attitude taken by the French press. The number of Americans staying in the hotel is sensibly less than at the same time last year. At Voisons, where at this season | there were usually big crowds of Amer- icans and Spaniards, there were the other night only two diners in the | rooms. Couturieres, jewelers, millin- ers and other businesses are seeing their season virtually ruined by the | diminished number of American clients. | The Figaro yesterday morning tried | to turn the affair off with a laugh in an article which says: *“It is finished. | France Is -oing to be boycotted by | American millionaires and by pretty Americans who will no longer get their dresses from Paris.” Then in a bantering way, the writer | asks where they will get them. Cer- | tainly not in London, where tailor- made costumes and bicycle skirts can be made admirably, but a full dress —never. Certainly not in America, and certainly they will never consent to be | badly dressed. “As to millionaires they will surely come to Paris,” continues the article, “in search of more agreeable, more in | tellectual and more artistic life than is {led in America.” People are talking of a possible Franco-English conflict. With this fear before them, and with the prac- tical results of loss of American cus- tom staring them in the face, people here are very gloomy in their prognos- tications, in spite of their disclaimers. It is evident that the French look upon | the reapproachment of the English and Americans with disquietude. It is such | a natural alliance that they realize that | it will some day be made, and they be- gin to fear they have hastened that day by their display of hostility to the United States over the war with Sapin. LONDON, May 18.—Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, Conservative member of Parliament for the City of York, addressing the Junior Constitu- tional Club this evening, expressed his strong approval of the Birmingham speech of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, Sec- retary of State for the Colonies, on the Anglo-Saxon alliance, but described it as “the right thing said in the wrong v”iyo'rd Beresford said, as he read fit, Mr. Chamberlain’s speech asked for an alliance, and it would appear that the alliance was one with Germany, but he added: “If people speak in enigmas and fail to bring a thing out straight, they often defeat the object they have in_view.” Mr. Chamberlain 1aeant to ask, Lord Beresford understood, for an Anglo- German alliance, Germany herself be- ing in danger of isolation owing to the difficulties in Austria and Italy; the German alliance, which would “tend to peace and to the advancement of tN.t.dse'fm' an Anglo-American alliance, his Lordship continued *I sympathize with that idea also, but it seems to me pt’%’;‘: u}xrr;-eflcanan he declared, were shrewd, and it was not advisable that it should appear as if Englartd were in | Expressions Speech of Chamberlain Ad- vocating Anglo-Saxon BOYCOTT FELT IN FRANCE ympathy for Spain Promises to Be Costly. on the nce. the war outright. He says it is due to systeinatic American _ provocatfon, which finally became unbearable. He added: “The whole course of the Washing- ton administration has been insincere. My views of war are well understood. I have always held that it is only de- fensible after all other remedies have failed. “The result of the war cannot be wholesome either to America or Eu- rope. The United States will be forced to adopt an intermeddling policy, lead- ing to unavpoidable friction. She thus abandoned her traditional peace policy, and in order to maintain her position she must become a military and a na- val power—an ‘expensive luxury which her geographic position rendered un- necessary. “America’s change of front means | retrogression in the high sense of civ- ilization. This is the main regrettabls fact about the war.” Regarding the speech made on Fri- day last by Joseph Chamberlain at Bir- mingham, Prince Bismarck sald: “The importance thereof depends upon whether Mr. Chamberlain’s pri- vate opinions are those of the British Government. Closer Anglo-American relations are doubtless feasible, but an alliance is improbable and unservice- able to both. “Besides, it iIs a mistake to call the Americans Saxons. Theirs is a_mixed blood—British, Irish, German, French and Scandinavian. The Anglo-Saxon does not even . predominate to-day. This dwelling on so-called race inter- ests is nonsense in politics. Look at the Russo-French agreement and the Dreibund. Politics are not dictated by such far-fetched sentimentalities.
