RUDYARD KIPLING SLIGHTLY BETTER Still He Is a Very Sick Man. HIS PHYSICIANS GIVE HOPE DO NOT SAY THAT HE 1S OUT OF DANGER. Has Passed the Crisis, and With Favoring Conditions Has a Chance for Life. Special Dispatch to The Call. D R R R R R e g + NEW YORK, March 1, 4 a. m. +| —There has been no change in the condition of Rudyard Kip- ling since the 1:30 bulletin was issued by his physicians. | | + + + = + R R R R R g NEW YORK, March 1.—At 1:30 this | morning Dr. Dunham, in attendance on | Rudyard Kipling, issued a statement in regard to Mr. Kipling’s condition, in which he said he was not dfcouraged. “Mr. Kipling,” he said, “is better in one sense and worse in another. We | hope to be able to issue a more favor- able bulletin in the morning.” On being asked as to what he meant by this, Dr. Dunham said that he could not explain, but physicians would un- derstand. It is taken to mean that Mr. Kipling has not yet passed through the crisis of the disease, but that probably the crisis will be -reached before the next bulletin is issued. NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—The following bulletin was issued at 11:10 to-night: Mr. Kipling, on the whole, has not| gained during the day, though the res. piratory function has so far improved that the use of oxygen is no longer neces: sary. The influence of the persisting in- flammation in the upper lobes is still | manifest. E. G. JANEWAY. | THEODORE DUNHAM. It was said that Mr. Kipling's lung | ilable for breathing was at its | area a i minimum on Sunday night.” It was in- creased considerably yesterday and still more this morning. With this im- ovement the danger of coma and de- es away and hopes for re- covery are creased. There is reason to believe, ording to the statements that come from the sick room. that the patient’s right lung will continue steadily and breathing will become so easy by the end of the tenth day of Mr. Kipling’s illness that, unless a re- lapse occurs, his recovery is only a | matter of time. Dr. Conlin, the Kipling family phy- sician at Brattleboro, Vt., is now in at- tendance at the bedside of the author. Mrs. Kipling this morning sent the following note downstairs: Mrs. Kipling wishes to acknowledge with grateful than the many letters and telegrams of sympathy sent her. They are too numerous for her to reply to in-| dividually. QUARTZ CLAIMS BONDED. Alameda Man’s Big Investment Nem) .Tacoma.

The Moravia was making her last trip for the Hamburg-American line, as she had been sold recently to the Sloman line of New York. She was almost three weeks overdue, and it was thought that the delay was owing to some trouble with her machinery. The steamer carried a cargo of gen- eral merchandise, mainly for Boston firms. Both vessel and cargo were in- sured. She had a crew of about thirty. The Moravia was an iron vessel of 2141 tons register, built at Glasgow in 1883. Captain Spinney of the schoonér Ar- bitrator, having been in the vicinity of the northeast bar a day or two after the violent gales of February 12 and 13, sighted the wreck.and stood by watch- ing for signs of life, but failing to see any proceeded on her course to the fish- ing grounds. Later Captain Corkum reports that the schooner Hattie A. Heckman of Gloucester also had seen the wreck and had sailed entirely around it, watching for life, but the steamer apparently was deserted. Captain Corkum says that when he met the Arbitrator Captain Spinney in- formed him he had been in close to the bar during the day of the 12th and 13th, and when the storm abated he started for the fishing grounds. It wasthenthat he ran across the Moravia. She was broken in two and the seas were beat- ing heavily against her. Captain Corkum says it was the opinion of him- self as well as of the captains of the Arbitrator and Heckman that the chances for the escape of the Moravia’s crew in such a storm as prevailed on February 12 and 13 were very slight.

VOLUNTEERS MAY STAY IN COLONIES The President Wants to See Ameri- cans Settle the Philippines and Cuba. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 28.—To- day's Cabinet meeting was uneventful. As usual the Colonies furnished the chief topics of discussion, but only de- tails of minor interest were gone over, with the exception of the mustering out of volunteer troops in the Philippines and the transportation to the islands of regulars to replace them. The lat- ter subject was discussed - at some length, the President desiring the ad- vice of members of the Cabinet as to the most desirable route. Now that warm weather is approach- ing it is believed it will be more desir- able to send troops by way of San Francisco, instead of taking the East- ern route through the Suez canal and the Red Sea. Secretary Hitchcock, who is familiar with the climate in that part of the world, called attention to the extreme heat through which troopships would have to pass if the Eastern route were taken. By taking that route ships are compelled to cross the equator and spend several weeks in the belt where the climate is intensely hot. By tak- ing the Western route transports would consume less time in the voyage and the trip would be much more comfort- able for the soldiers. It was finally decided that the West- ern route would be chosen and steps will be taken immediately to provide more transports. There is a scarcity of ships now at San Francisco, but more will be chartered. The situation in the Philippines was discussed in a general way and the President expressed his gratification at the way the campaign has been con- ducted. According to the statements of members of the Cabinet after the meeting the question of probable com- plication with foreign powers. was not touched upon, neither the President nor any of the members of the Cabinet be- lieving there is any danger of such trouble arising. In reference to the muster out of vol- unteer troops in the Philippines the President has on foot a project which he is anxlous to have carried into ef- fect if it is in accordance with the rules of the War Department. That is, that any members of the volunteer army who wish to take up their residence in the Philippines or the West Indies may be mustered out there, without having to return to this country at all. Mr. McKinley and others are of the opinion that a great many soldiers will have seen oppertunities for business ventures which they would like to take advant- age of and he believes that it would be a good thing for the future of the colonies if inducements could be of- fered to American citizens to remain there. The question was submitted to the | judge advocate general of the War De- | partment several days ago, and is still | being considered by him. It is proba- ble that some arrangement will be made whereby those soldiers who wish to remain in the Philippines will be | mustered out there by their command- ing officers and not be required to re- turn to the United States. DAMAGE WANTED FOR BRITONS SLAIN LONDON, Feb. 28.—The Manila Rail- way Company has received a cable dis- ? | patch from Manila, dated February 27, saying the railway has ceased working | as a means of public conveyance, the Americans using the line to convey troops to Caloocan. The railway was not damaged by the recent fires. | In the House of Commons to-day Hon. Philip Stanhope, Radical, asked he Government whether attention had @ pecn called to the British sublectsiat | Manila, and whether the circumstances | there were such as permitted friendly representations to be made to the United States to procure pecuniary compensation for the families of those | whose lives were lost. Mr. Broderick, representing the For- | eign Office, replied that the British Con- | sul at Manila had reported the fact and would doubtless furnish a full re- port, when the Government would be | able to decide what course to take. The Filipino agent in London says he has received advices that Iloilo has | been burned. These advices further state that the Filipinos at Cebu have only retired to the hills at the request of the foreign residents to avoid bom- bardment of the place by.the Ameri- cans, the foreigners promising to in- tercede with the Americans in behalf of the Filipinos with a view to getting Filipino rights respected. AMERICAN COMMISSION ARRIVES AT HONGKONG HONGKONG, Feb. 28.—The Ameri- can commissioners appointed by Presi- dent McKinley to investigate conditions in the Philippine Islands arrived to- day. They are the guests of Consul Gen- eral Wildman, and when informed of the action of President McKinley in re- storing to the Cortez family the estates confiscated by the Spaniards, expressed their pleasure over such a diplomatic move on the part of the American Government. “I believe,” said Professor Schur- man, “that this one act will do us a great amount of good. It will give the | lie to Aguinaldo and undoubtedly win over to our side the more intelligent of the Filipinos.” A strong anti-American sentiment exists here because of the attitude of local newspapers, which give much space to false stories of the alleged in- humanity of Americans. These stories undoubtedly emanate from the Philip- pine Junta here, and have more or less effect upon residents. The Junta is ac- tive and well supplied with funds, and is endeavoring to enlist European ad- venturers hanging about Hongkong. COWARDICE SHOWN BY A SHIP CAPTAIN Abandons His Vessel in the Omly Available Boat, Leaving the . Crew to Its Fate. DARTMOUTH, England, Feb. 28.—The British steamer Garton, Captain Willis, from Brunswick via Norfolk for Bremen, arrived here to-day, having on board the second officer and six of the crew of the British bark Galatia, Captain Lewis, of St. John, N. B.. which sailed from Turks Isiand with salt for Boston and was re- ported February 38 to have been aban- doned, water-logged and dismasted. The Galatia was deserted on February 15, at which time she was in a sinking condition. Previous to that the bark had experienced terrible weather and had be- gun to leak rapidly. On February 15 Cap- tain Lewis, the chief officer, the steward, stewardess and three seamen left her in the only remaining boat, the others hav- ing been stove in during the gale. The boat was lost sx&m of in a furious gale, and the second officer considers it impossi- ble’ for her to have weathered the storm. The same evening the Garton hove into sight and took off the remalnder of the crew of the Galatia at a great risk. The high seas running prevented the boat launched by the Garton from approaching the bark, So the men on board the latter donned cork jackets and were hauled (hgou%hl the ater. aptain Lewls, according to the second officer, took with him all the provisions and left the remainder of the crew on board the sinking ship, although, he adds, there was room for ali in the boat, which hung about the bark until 1:30 p. m. and then rowed off.

Union Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Feb. 28.—The directors of the Union Savings Bank will resign at once at the request of the stockholders and depositors, and thus save themselves from being unceremoniously ousted. They | gave the stockholders this assurance this | afternoon, and at a meeting to-morrow | afternoon they will hand in their resigna- | | tions. The stockholders held their most im- portant meeting this afternoon. They pro- posed to meet in the bank, but the ac- commodations were not sufficient, and an adjournment was taken to the Good Gov- | ernment League Hall. President W. H. Wright presided. Most of the directors were present. About 200 stockholders, rep- | resenting 74% shares, attended. 3 President Wright made a statement of | the bank's affairs. According to him the! bank was in good condition, and, aside! from Howard's indebtedness, he declared“ all securitles were good. He reiterated his _statement that depositors would be paid dollar for dollar, and this from the assets without the ald of assessments. The stockholders did not take the same view as the president, and they would be willing to present their stock to Wright. C. I§ Braslan, who was lately elected director, also declared the bank solvent. He read a long tabulated statement show- ing that after the Bank Commissioners had scaled down the assets $457911 there still remained $709,568, which was more ahm numolent to pay the $588,694 due the sitors. rector Bowden followed with a like statement. He sald the directors would et a dividend cut of the institutiom after ts debts were d. These statements were excepted to by the stockhplders. The meeting became noisy, a half dozen stockholders trying to talk at once. A resolution calling for a committee to investigate the business affairs of How- 3 ard was adopted. It was intimated that Howard had hidden some of his_assets. E. Eaton, G. W. Tarleton and J. W. Rea were named as the committee. It was said the directors were trying to shoul- der the responsibility for the failure on Howard and an attempt was made to amend the resolution by calling for the resignation of all the directors. Presi- de\;" ‘Wright ruled the amendment out of order. A resolution asking the directors to re- sign was introduced but not adopted. President Wright: and Director Bowden both said they would resign if given time and asked the stockholders not to go about it in such a manner. It was said Attorney General Fitzger- ald had expressed the view that the di- rectors could not fill any vacancies on the board, now that the bank was in the Commissioners’ hands. The only thing that could be done was that the direct- ors resign and the names of those select- ed for the places be given to the Judges of the Superior Court having charge of the matter. President Wright and other directors present assured the stockholders they would resign. The directors will meet a committee from the stockholders to- morrow. They will then resign, and men from the stockholders will be selected for their places. A motion was adopted that . 'W. Potter be selected as a director to represent the depositors. The Howard creditors met to-day and took steps to preserve their interests. According to Howard's sworn bankruptcy statement, he had about $30,000 worth of dried fruit stored in the Sorosis Fruit Company’s warehouse. The Sorosis Com.. pany now claims this fruit and has been selling it. It claims it bought the fruit frsm growers, but admits Howard had some demands on it. The creditors intend to look into the matter and see who owns the fruit. J. W. Blauer, A. Friant and Jacob Miller were appointed a committee for this purpose, with power to act. FOUR MILLIONS LOST TO CALIFORNIA ‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—The ‘“‘omni- bus claims bill” has finally been agreed upon by the conference committee. The Senate conferees receded from their amendment providing for refunding the California, Oregon and Nevada war claims, because the House conferees posi- tively refused to yield. Thus the State of California loses nearly $4,000,000, Ore, $335,152 and Nevada $404,040. The Calfl?r‘: nia and Oregon claims were defeated out- right, but Nevada's clalm was referred to the Treasury Department for a resart.
