Complication Is Caused by R:fusal to Accept Febru- ary Installment. PEKING, March 6.—Chinese officials fear that the refusal of the Bankers' Commission to accept the February in- stallment of the indemnity will render the collection of future jnstallments more difficult.

When it becomes known that the 1,20,000 taels of the Feb- ruary installment is lying in the Chinese bang becauge the foreign governments are unable to agree to terms concerning its aivision, the Chinese will possibly relax their etforts to. meet the future install- ments, Sir Robert Hart sent letters to-day to the Ministers of the powers here calling their attention to the complications likely | | to result if the money, which is deposited | in the Chinese Bank at Shanghal, should | be “destroyed or diverted,” | LONDON, March 7.—With reference to | China’s having urged the powers to per- | mit her to assyme the administration of | Tientsin, the Peking. correspondent of the | Times has intérviewed Yuan Shi Kal, the Vieeray of Chili province, Yuan pro- tested that he wag quite willing to insure the customs contributions for the way in- demnity nnd even (o increase the He sald that he was nlso willing CArry out the plans for the improvement of the nay- igation of the Pel Ho.

L., Barnes, attorney for Edward Plercy, who is contesting the petition of ‘his brother, Andrew Piercy, for guardianship ‘of their mother. General Barnes stated that he had act. ed as the adviser of Mrs. Mary Piercy for vears. In an opinion formed from inter- views with Mrs. Plcrey, it was her firm intention that Edward Piercy. should have her property, and subsequent to her making the deed whereby she gave Ed- ward some $30,000 worth of property, Mrs. Piercy had told her daughter, Mrs. Mar- tel, that'the act was free and uninfiu- On one occasion when the witness had called on Mrs. Piercy Andrew Piercy was present, and he had requested General Barnes to leave. The witness said Mrs. Plercy’s mental condi- tion was as good as that of any person in the courtroom. He did not believe a | guardian was necessary in her case. Her | property was in excellent hands, he said,? and does not require investments that in- volve any great degree of ability. He be- lleved that were the court to pronounce Mrs. Piercy insane it would kill her. H General Barnes said he knew of no reason why the deed giving the property | to Edward Piercy was not recorded until | December, although it was executed last | March. He had told E. L. Rhodes some | time before to record the deed and sup- posed he had done so. Mrs. Andrew Plerey asked permission to question General Barnes, which was | granted. After she finished General Barnes made an explanation of some of his remarks. Mrs. Smith, who attended Mrs. Piercy | for six years, was another witness. She sald that Andrew Piercy during his visits to his mother was boisterous and he al- ways wanted money. On one occasion when he called the witness was out of the room, but hearing Mrs. Plercy scream she rushed in, when the old lady told her Andrew had pointed a pistol at her. Mrs. Plercy was_ excited, and asked Mrs. Smith to make Andrew show her the pis- tol. Witness did not see the weapon, howeven Mrs. Smith stated that Mrs. Plercy had told her to keep Andrew and his family away from her. She sald Mrs. Plercy had been well taken care of and was surrounded by every comfort, and while whisky to the house for his mother. She Miss Mamie Walker, another nurse, was positive Id had never threatened his mother with a club. She stated further Mrs. Plercy had never charged her with setting fire to the house on King street. This_ended the testimony. In the after- noon Judge Hyland, accompanied by the stenographer, visited Mrs. Piercy in her room in the Stanford House. On recon- vening court the Judge did not make pub- lic his interview, further than to say that the last words Mrs. Plercy said to him was that if he appointed a guardian he had better make his will.

BERLIN, March 6.—The directors of the Sugar Manufacturers’ Union, repre- senting 500 agricultural districts and the allied industries, at a meeting to-day drafted a petition to the Government re- cuesting that final legislative steps as a result of the Brussels sugar agreement be not taken until the sugar interests have an opportunity of presenting a full statement of their claims. For the moment the question of first importance in Germany is the adhesion of the Government to the international sugar convention which was signed at Brussels yesterday.

A small band of Ladrones driven from Cavite by the constabulary joined them. Twenty-five constabularies, under native ser- geants, attacked them, but on account of hav- ing only fifteen rounds of ammunition eac soon exhausted it and were forced to re without loss. Assistznt Chief Atkinson of the mmediat Iy took chagge and drove the band, with I to the latter, into Laguna, the inhabitants of Rizal province giving information and assist- ing us as much as possible. Florles (Governor of the province), with the municipal police, is in pursuit. There are not 300 arms in the hands of the inswgents and Ladrones in the entire Luzon island to-day The number was reduced early by surrenders, captures or casualties. The constabulary, wi the aid of Trias (Governor of Cavite) and na- tive police, during the last two weeks hav: routed Ladrone bands existing in the island for many years, capturing and receiving by surrender over 100 arms. The most important feature Is t among the inhabitants hostile to Ladroncs and insurgents. All other organized provinces are quiet. situation has not ben so govd since American occupation, and is very eu- couraging, notwithstanding the persistent at- tempts to create a contrary impression. Governor Taft presented the dispatch to the House Insular Committes to-day when questioned on reported reverses. Health Conditions Improve. Surgeon General Sternberg to-day ceived the health report of the milit division of the Philippines for the mo ending January 15 last. The perten of sick was 6.16 and the total sick cases. from the sentiment re- 4 There were 59 deaths during the month, a decrease of eighteen, compared with the previous month. Colonel Pope, who made the repért just before his death, says the lower percen age of sick and the few deaths are espe= clally gratifying in view of active mili~ tary operations of the most arduous cha acter in Samar and tangas. The sit- uation in regard to bonic plague is much more favorable than at the time of the last report. Only three casés of the disease occurred during the month, one being Harry Dunn, a quartermaster's em- ploye, who died December 27. TACTICS ARE RETALIATORY. General Otis Talks of the Torture of , Samar Natives. CHICAGO, March 6.—In commenting on the dispatches from Manila stating that Major Waller and Lieutenant Day of the United States Marine Corps had been or- dered tried by court-martial on a charge of executing natives of the island of Sa- mar without trial, General E. §. Otis, commander of the Department of th Lakes, to-day expressed deep regret thag soldiers had adopted what he called “evi dently retaliatory tacties.” He said that during his experience in command in the Philippines he had not been confronted by anything of the kind. The poliey of the army, he sald, was most humane. He continued: This appears to be revenge for the massacrs of the Ninth Infantry. Of course it is all wrong. It seems to me that the me: must be exaggerated. In all my experience in the islands I never had a case of this kind Put Anmrican soldiers are smarting under the remembrance of the massacre. It 1s probable this affair is in retaliation for that. Wa treated the Filipinos with great humanity. Lucban stirred the tribes up in Samar. It was unfortunate that the Tagalos got into the {sland. The tribes there were not inclined toward war: There Is in Samar a particularly cruel band called Moros, a of robbers They practice all manner of cruelties, and this may be the result. I do not think there is anything about Samar to drive men crazy. The punishment may be death or long impris- onment.
