April 24—The court-martial, which tried Major Waller and Lieutenant Day of the Marine Corps on charges of executing natives of the island of Samar without trial, reconvened to-day on orders received from Washington to revise cer- tain portions of the records.

W., WASHINGTON, April 24—Promise of the evacuation of Tientsin, China, has at last been made by the foreign powers having troops stationed in that city. The commanders of the military forces at that point have, according to advices received m Washington, signed an agreement set- ting forth the terms upon which they will withdraw. in character that the United States may deem it advisable to enter a strong pro- test against their acceptance. The pow- ers represented In Tientsin are Great Britain, Germany, France, Austria, Italy and Japan. All of the powers with the exception of | were willing to evacuate the | Germany native city. In reply to recent interna- tional inquiries, Germany indicated her purpose to retain a garrison at Tientsin. Her military agent at that point, how- ever, is a party to the agreement drafted by the foreign commanders and it s not considered likely that he signed the docu- ment without instructions from Berlin. As the agreement must be approved by the diplomatic representatives of the pow- ers in Peking and as the German Minister is absent, it is not certain that it will be finally adopted. As drafted by the military officers, the agreement makes provision for the perm- anent occupation of points in North hina. Two places are named for the use of foreign troops in the summer sea- son. The Chinese are not allowed to maintain a garrison in Tientsin nor to send troops into that city to suppress riots or other disorders. The foreign soldiers are allowed to freely pass through the city and their arrest by.Chinese is for- | bidden, The Chinese are authorized to have but one man of war at Taku and are pro- hibited from placing mines or torpedoes in Peiho River. China will undoubtedly accept the terms, unless she is able to obtain suf- ficlent support from the foreign «Govern- ments to enable her to resist the pressure of those nations which approve the agree. 8ingly, the objection of the United tates would 'be unavailing, especially in view of the fact that it has had no par- ticipation whatever in the negotiations of which the agreement is the result. aae——— Shasta Copper Mines Are Sold.

WATCHES MOVES NEW COMBINE British Admiralty Looks After the Subsidy Agreements, LONDON, April 24—In the House of | Commons to-day the Secretary of the Ad- miralty, Hugh O. A. Reynold-Forester, replying to a question, sald the Admiralty was considering the whole matter of ship subsidies with the view of defining the rights of the Admiralty in the event of contingenices arising, such as the sug- gested shipping combine. When the pres. ent form of agreement was settled upon | no trade combinations under foreign con- | trol were contemplated, but the Admiralty | had appointed a committee to consider | and report on the purpose and form of fu- ture subsidy agrsements. The Admiralty, meanwhile, had made arrangements with the White Star Line, which preclude the possibliity of any of their armed cruise ers or merchant steamers being trans-| ferred to a foreign flag without the con- sent of the Admiralty during the unex- pired portion of the Admiralty agree- Important legal points were in- including the question whether, in | the event of war. there was anything to prevent the companies from substituting a forelgn for the British flag at short | notice and ywhether the Admiralty has the means of énforcing its right of pre-emp- tion or hire in such case; or if by aban- doning the subvention 'the companies could claim that the right of pre-emption geased. All such points would_ be care- ully considered and the Ad 7 rights would be ascertained. s et Tt was said this afternoon that the present uncertain position of the Cunard and other steamship companies in stand- ing out from the Atlantic combination was to_some extent due to the action of the Admiralty, as outlined by Arnold-For- ester in the House of Commons to-day, The Daily Mail afirms that the agree- ment of the Atlantic shipping combina- tlon contains secret clauses to the effect that the American promoters of the con- cern intend to ask Congress to pass a new shipping bill permitting foreign-buiit vessels to be brought under the American flag. The adhesion of the Cunard line is practically certain, continues the _Dally Mall, and the corporation will be formed mainly with American capital. It will take over entire the British shipping com- panies. Those companies refusing fo join the combination will be compelled to fight for their existence. ¥or the three or four years that the present admiralty con- tracts have to run, the paper adds, the vessels will remain under the Britisn flag. At the expiration of this time ail will pass under the American flag and be owned and run by the above-mentioned corporation, which will eventually en- deavor to carry its competition to every portion of the globe. The - Daily Express declares the ship- ping combination is trying to coerce Can- ada into accepting its terms and condi- tions as to emigration rates and traffic, and that if resistance is made the com. bination will buy up the Canadian Pacifi= Railway and declare a commercial war, It is the intention of the combination, says the Express, to demand that. the Canadian Emigration Department in | ticles of clothing and cooking utenslils. i slon may be expected,sbut it is under- GRUEL ROBBERS TORTURE VIETIN Fasten Wounded Man to Tree and Leave Him to Perish. Daring Crime Is Committed " on a Public Highway. in Mexico. Speclal Dispatch to The Call EL PASO, Tex., April 24, —News comes from the Interior of Mexico that Nicolas Becerril and Silvario Aguilar, two “pana- deros” of the pueblo of Contreras, were attacked on the highway by outlaws and robbed of their mules and freight. Becer- ril waes afterward tled to a tree and gruelly tortured, as in the medleval days} of brigandage. Becerril and Agullar were riding thelr mules, laden with the product of thelr bake: between the towns of Tlalosam and Coyoacan, when they were attacked by robbers, just as they were crossing the foothills of Zacatepec. 1t was dusk when the brigands opened fire on the mule drivers. . At the first volley Becerril fell from his mount, with a bullet wound in his temple. The mules took fright and ran, but were intercepted by the desper- adoes, who numbered. four. The robbers ! secured $53, their victims’ mules and the freight. = Aguilar escaped in the gloom and reached Tlalosam and told of the robbery. Mounted gendarmes were dis- patched to the scene of the crime. In the meantime Becerril, despite the fact that he was wounded, was tled to a tree and tortured by the brigands, who left him there to die of hunger and thirst. A cave, the entrance of which was strong- ; fortified, was discovered near the scene of the robbery. In this cavern were ar- The outlaws have not been apprehended. THOUSANDS OF PILGRIMS PAY RESPECT TO THE POPR His Holiness Warmly Thanks Them for Their Loyalty to the Papacy. ROME, April 2.—The Pope received 20,000 pilgrims at St. Peter's this morn- ing. His Holiness seemed to be in per- fect health, and thanked the pilgrims for their loyalty to the papacy. He was ac- corded a warm ovation. There is considerable mystification at the Vatican regarding the reported United States mission to be appointed to discuss the taking over of lands ‘of the religious orders in the Philippines. No one here seems to know when the mis- stood that the Bishop of Sioux Falls, the Right_Rev. Thomas O'Gorman, is pre- paring the ground for it. The Pope, it is sald, is desirous of receiving the mis- sion privately. SULTAN ORDERS RELEASE OF ALL OF THE SUSPECTS Men Arrested for the Kidnaping of Miss Stone Are Given Their Freedom. SALONICA, Roumania, Sunday, April 20.—All the suspects arrested in connection with the kidnaping of Miss Stone, the American missionary, have been released. This action followed a memorial address- ed by the Christian inhabitants of Djum- afbala to the Sultan, asserting thelir loy- alty, begging the authorities to take measures to suppress brigandage and as- serting that the Christlans of Macedonia are heartily tired of revolutionary tur- mofl. The memorial was hailed with sat- isfaction by- the Porte and the releases and ‘military ‘vrecautions for the protec- tion of the Christians followed, as evi- dence of the Sultan's good will.

Dempster & Co. £ NEW YORK, April 24.—One of the lead- ing spirits in the international shipping combination, organized by J. P. Morgan, to-day authorized a denial of the reports that pressure is being brought to bear to force the Campanie Generale Trans-At- lantique into the combination. It is ad- mitted that negotlations have occurred between Morgan and representatives of the French company, but they have not adyanced to that stage where they can be publicly discussed. It has been suggested that the new combine will enter into re- lations with the Pacific steamship lines controlled by J. J. Hill, tnus effecting a world-wide “community of steamship in: terests,” with resultant increase of busi- ness to the transcontinental raflroad lines. Such suggestions are said to be prema. ture, but it i1s well known that the Mor- gan and Hill interests in the steamship business, no less than in several railroad communities, are practically identical. There is no thought at this time of tak- ing any of the coastwise lines into the Morgan combination. although it is point- ed out that several such lines running to Mexico, Central and South American points offer great possibilities in the way of increased business. e e——————————————————— NEW ADVERTISEMENTS, The Real Cause of Dandruff and Baldness. At one time dandruff was attributed to be the result of a feverish condition of the scalp, which threw off the dried cuti- cle in scales. H Professor Unna, Hamburg, Germany, noted authority on skin diseases, explodes this theory and says that dandruff is a germ disease. 3 This germ is really responsible for the dandmuff and for o many bald heads. It can be cured if it is gone about in the right way. The right way, of course, and the only way,.is to kill the germ. Newbro's Herpicide does this, and as nature intended it should.
