April 15.—After a ! day devoted to routine proceedings, the Senate was trezted to a spirited speech by Bailey just before adjcurnment on tpe question of civil service. The sub- ject came up in connection with a paragraph in the sundry civil appro- priation bill. Bailey announced in plain terms that he had no sympathy with the iridescent dream of civil ser- vice.

Hale interrupted Bailey with the | statement that he fully agreed with| | ouch that the Texan had said, yet, he} added. it was impossible to get a| change because of the unwillingness of | Congress to put itself on record. He| called attention to the fact that when- | ever there was a rolicall on the sub- | ject in the House of Representatives it | failed to sustain other votes' against the civil service system. In view of | is fact, he asked, “Does the Senator | from Texas think there is the slightest ~hance for a change?”’ Bailey replied that he did not think there was, and Hale said: | | | Is there not a sort of pall resting on Congress which prevents its ex- pressing its comviction as to what should be done?” Gallinger - asked concerning executive orderg creating civil service positions for many hundred employes in the rural delivery service. “You might have some one in. the Senate ask the Postmaster General | what members of Congress recom- mended their appointments,” remarked Bailey, and a laugh was provoked at this indirect reference to the recent controversy in the House. At %5:40 the Senate adjourned. . Consideration of the general deficien- cy appropriation bjll was resymed in the House to-day after a number of minor-bills had been passed. The | President’s recent order regarding ser- vice pensions was attacked by Under- wood of Alabama, who contended that there was no warrant in law for it. | The President also was criticized by | Hay of Virginia b.cause of certain | sukpensions of the civil service rules and regulations. General debate on the | deficiency bill will close to-morrow and | the bill will be read for amendment. { —_———— CAPTAIN AND CORPORAL STABBED BY FILIPINOS | Reconnoitering Expedition of Ameri- | cans Has Tragic Ending in ' Mindanao.

DIMOND DENIES THAT HE TOOK PART IN LAND FRAUDS Alleged Conspirator At- tacks Federal Tes- timony. Evidence of Hyde’s Peculiar Methods, -— Further Henry P. Dimond, the San Francisco attorney who is one of the defendants | in the land fraud case, took the stand | in his own behalf yesterday before; United States Commissioner Heacock | and denied in detail any complicity in | the alleged illegal operations of Fred- | erick A. Hyde and John A. Benson and any knowledge of the cnnspn—ncy; charged 1n the indictment found by the Federal Grand Jury at Washington, D. C. Dimond’s testimony, which was not completed when court adjourned, is understood to be preliminary to a| motion by his counsel to dismiss the | complaint as to him. This motion may | be made on Monday, unless the cross- | examination of the witness by Gov- ernment Counsel Heney should prove unexpectedly long and severe. Before Dimond leaves the witness stand he will admit that he was the mysterious man behind the door of Benson's bathréom at the time Wood- ford D. Harlan of the General Land Office visited the well-known ‘serip- per.” This visit occurred in Benson’s parlors at the Willard Hotel in Wash- ingtor during May, 1902. Harlan al- leged in his testimony on Thursday that Benson told him he had an agent in the bathroom whom he wanted him to meet, and that on his refusing to deal with more than one man in the sale of Government secrets Benson had asked him to step into a clothes closet, while he let his bathroom guest out into the hall EXPLAINS BATHROOM STORY. | | Dimond did not veach this part of his story yesterday, but when he re- turns to t stand on Monday morning he will declare that his visit to Benson was in relation to a matter_in which he was acting as attorney for the land speculator, and which is not included in the indictment; that when Benson heard a knock on his door he said to | Dimond, “Please step into the bath- | room a second until I get rid of this vis " and that the lawyer did so without knowing that Benson's caller was an employe of the Interior Depart- with whom it was irregular to have secret dealings. Dimond’s testimony was delivered in a straightforward manner and covered the greater part of the evidence in- volving his name that has been given by the Grand Jury witnesses who have been put on the stand by the defense. He said in part: 4 1 was retained by Hyde in the summer of legal matters in connection selections then pending at m June 1 untfl August 17 e in his office here studyinz s of the Land Commissioner and a trip to Washington. 1 nev took up any Gove t land in my own name ner did any of my family.

He showed me his circulars announcing that he was a dealer in forest reserve lieu serip and that purchasers might locate the lieu a h i him at an added con- craticn to make the selections and get them ved. 1 did not know that I was to pe ted with Benson in any way, but I him at Hyde's office shortly after I went me Ives or empl! ccnn I“' re. hen I left for Washington in August it wes with the expectation of spending about ays there in familiarizing myself with the department and taking then in the hands of Brit- ton & Gray, who had been acting as his at- tcrneys. TILT BETWEEN COUNSEL. “Did you know that Hyde and Ben- son were in any way connected in for- est reserve lieu land interests?’ asked Charles S. Wheeler, Dimond’s attorney. “Just before I left for Washington,” the witness began his answer, “Mr. Hyde told me—" “I object,” shouted McEnerney of counsel for the other defendant, Hyde. “This is a privileged communication from client to attorney and must not be disclosed.” For a few minutes the two-lawyers for the defendants debated the matter, Wheeler declaring that Dimond did not intend to do injustice to his former but adding, “I propose to go fully into the whole connection between the two.” : “I am very loth,” said the Commis- sioner, “to make a ruling that will close relations of these defendants.” Then Heney took a‘hand. “A prima facie case has been made out,” the Government lawyer said, “and therefore no communication be- tween these defendants is privileged. The prosecution hopes the witness will tell all he knows.” “Dimond proposes to clear himself by violating a rule that has obtained ever since the dawn of Anglo-Saxon juris- prudence,” was McEnerney's reply. “If such a rule exists,” Heney retort- ed, “no attorney is safe in dealing with a client unless he knows his whole his- tory.” “If such a rule does¢not exist,” Mc- Enerney retorted, “no client is safe in dealing with any attorney.” ““Objection overruled;” Heacock de- cided, and then Dimond completed his interrupted answer. It was harmless. “Hyde informed me,” he said, “that Benson had an interest in some of the | Dimond.” base lands used for selections and was entitled to part of the money tied up in this way.” CONTRADICTS VALK. Dimond told of his work in Washing- | NDANTS IN THE I AT THE HEAHR ENOGRAPHER WE L LAND FRAUD = CASE WHO YESTERDAY | RING FORE COMMISSIONER HEA- | 10 TESTIFIED AGAINST F. A. HYDE. | Enerney’s objection was again em- phatic, but the Government attorneys laughed. “Mr. McEnerney doesn’'t mean to ob- ject,” said Heney: “he is only making a little stage play. But we object to the introduction of the letter as a self- serving declaration. to get on the record a lot of innocent professions.” The letter was excluded, as were many other documents of a similar purport offered later. Dimond’s examination proceeded: He declared that he had had no knowledge of the methods by which Hyde ac- quired his lieu ‘“bases,” the State school lands which the Government charges were obtained from Oregon and California by forgery. He had re- mained in Washington much longer than he expected, but he nevér learned that any clerks in the General Land Office were receiving money from Ben- son or Hyde. All his work there was of a routine character, bringing him in contact with the Commissioner and rarely with any of the clerks. He had entered appearances in many of the Hyde selections, but never discovered that any of them were based on fraud- ulent titles. In fact the only questions raised by the department against these claims were as to unpaid taxes on some of the base lands and other minor defects that were easily cured. He had never conveyed to Benson or Hyde any information received from a Government employe. The only matter in which he had ever represented Benson, the witness said, was that of the San Fraacisco Mountains Forest Reserve in Arizona, in which Benson got the agency for the sale of 28,000 acres of lieu lands for the 'Aztec Land and Cattle Com- pany, a New York corporation. ~This transaction is not involved in the in- dictment. It kept the witness in Wash- ington until June, 1902, after the bath- room incident. At this point the hour for adjourn- ment suspended Dimond's examina- tion, which will be continued on Mon- day morning. MRS. CURTIS ONCE MORE. Barlier in the day Mrs. Belle A. Curtis had been recalled by McEnerney end questioned briefly but inconclu- sively regarding the Hyde-Benson pooling agreement. Then Samuel Knight of Dimond's counsel asked her whether she had ever had in her pos- session, while she was Hyde's stenog- rapher, any instrument relating to lieu land selections which she knew was forged. This brought out some new testimony to the following effect! I never knew positively, but’I had srave suspicions that some of the names appearing on documents were not signed by their own-rs. This was true of the name of ‘“‘Elizabeth This woman was supposed to- live in East Oakland, but in two instances papers to be signed by her were not out of my hards more than thirty minutes or an hour at the most when they were brought back to me from Hyde's private office With her name sigred to them. One of these papers was o letter to the Land Commissioner regarding the Elizabeth Dimond selections then pending ton, giving a clear account of his time | before the department; the other was a deed there and declaring that his relations | °',f¢] with the Interior Department had been of the most regular and professional nature. He positively contradicted Wil-. liam E. Valk, the former special exam- iner in the lieu 1and division, who tes- tified that Benson had given Dimond a card which he presented to Valk and on which- the writer said, “This man represents me and is all right.” “Mr. Benson gave me no note to any one,” said Dimond, “and I did not have a line of writing or typewriting or a paper of any kind from him when I went to Washington.” Next came Wheeler's effort to get in evidence Hyde's letter directing the ‘Washington lawyers, Britton & Gray, to transfer his cases to Dimond..

Burns, the secret service man, was then recalled by the defense | in another effort to get information as to the damaging evidence which the Government claims to have in the shape of forged instruments, but the Commissioner sustained Heney's ob- Jections and the famous detective left the stand with his reputation for knowing much and telling little stiil intact. ————— The News Letter of This Week Contains as a front plece a very pretty picture of Anna Held. Surely she has never been more appropriately surrounded. The News Letter is more than usually in- teresting. “Livernash Is Rebuked,” fis the title of one of the charaeteristic articles. The portent of the strikes is taken up in an ar- tcle which makes good reading for the stu- | dent of theMsigns of the times. It foreshad- ows the gleam of bayonets and the establish- ment of martial law in San Francisco. The theatrical criticisms are thoughtful and true. The “Plifering Sorority Giris” will scarcely | relish the expose in the News Letter. but the general public will find the information given very interesting reading. At this time of po- litical excitement the political situation, as described by Junius, will find all prospective candidates craning their necks. . ———— Davis Denies Guilt.

Bergin, had left the county line on its way to the city at 11:15 o'clock and was nearing the Six-mile House when the motor- man observed two men standing in- side the fence that skirts the roadway. One of them cried out for the motorman to stop the car, which con- tinued at full speed. A shot was heard and when the car reached the South San Francisco police station the po- lice were notified. Policemen hurried to the place and made a search of the locality, but could find no trace of the men. —_—,——— Thomas Murphy Found Gauiity.

BRINGS FAMOUS FILIPINO BAND Army Transport Sheridan Reaches Port With Many Passengers From Manila NATIVES POOR SAILORS Constabulary Musicians Ex- pected to Create Big Sen- sation at St. Louis Fair Among the passengers who arrived here yesterday on the army transport Sheridan, Captain Peabedy, were 280 members of the Philippine constabulary and ten officers, who will to-day depart for the St. Louis Expesition. This is the second batch of America’s trans-Pa- cific wards that has reached this con- tinent and before the St. Louis Ex- position closes the people of the United States will have first-hand opportunity of learning a good deal about the peo- ple that inhabit Uncle Sam’s Far East- ern pcssessions. Among the native policemen who ar- rived here yesterday are mnren from every province of the arcnipelago and in their ranks ten tribes are repre- sented. Small, but smart looking and soldierly, each litile constable looks a duplicate of the others. Tagalogs, Vi- sayans, ITlocancs, Moros, Bisols, Caga- yans, Macabebes, Gadons and Ibanags, in the neat uniform of the constabu- |1ary service, all Jook alike and, accord- ing to their officers, are all imbued with the same spirit of loyalty to the flag and devotion to duty. FAMOUS CONSTABULARY The famous Constabulary band ac- companies this sample of the Insular Government’s protective arm. Lieuten- ant W. H. Loving, the chief bandmas- ter and the man responsible for his musicians’ wonderful execution, is a crinkle-haired negro just brimming over with martial melody. He is a graduate of the Beston Conservatory of Music and in the Far East has won notable fame as a conductor. In the band are eighty-three pileces, and, in the words of Captain Peabody, the Bheridan’s commander, “it's the rip- roaringest orchestra that ever blew sea air through brass.” It was only at Honolulu and Naga- saki, however, that those who had not made the band’s acquaintance in Ma- nila learned anything of its quality. Although good musicians, the bands- men were bad sailors. Seasickness played no favorites with the natives. | They all succumbed and nearly aill the time the transport was at sea 280 dusky constables suffered the dismal tortures of marine biliousness and in groaning heaps lay about the trooper's decks like a bunch of sick monkeys. The Fil- ipinos came up from the transport in bunches of twenty and thirty last night and were landed By fhe cars at the corner of Third and Market streets. They gazed around in great amaze- ment at the whirl and buzz of the city, and were especially interested in the electric light display. They looked at the towering Call building with ad- miration and delight. CONSTABULARY OFFICERS. The constabulary officers who ar- rived on the Sheridan are: Captain Ira Keithley, in command; Captains L. E. Ross and R. W. Jones, Lieuten- ants L. R. Sweet, N. S. Gilpin, W. H. Loving, Felix Llorente, C. M. Pendle- ton, C. H. Mcllvaine, M. Colmenares, A. A. Cameron and John S. Manning. The Sheridan, in spite of the fact that between her last three trips she has made very brief stays in port, came into the harbor yesterday shining like a yacht. Credit for her smart appear- ance is given to Chief Officer Randall, in whose nautical religion holystone, brass polish, elbow grease and paint hold the high places. In addition to the constabulary the Sheridan brought 391 members of the Eleventh Cavalry, 560 casuals, 556 pris- oners, 40 sick and 1638 other passengers. The ranking officer on board was Brig- adier General Francis Moore, who was accompanied by his wife and daughter and has come home for duty in the United States. General Moore spent W. E.

PROBING CAUSE OF EXPLOSION Board of Inquiry Is Making an Investigation Concern- ing Disaster on Missouri LITTLE PROGRESS MADE Offtcers at Fault Are All Dead and Blame for Acei- dent May Never Be Fixed A i PENSACOL! Fla., April 15. —The court of inquiry to examine into the cause of the explosion on the battle- ship Missouri on Wednesday, in which thirty-two officers and men lost their lives, reconvened on the battleship to- day after an adjournment yesterday to attend the funeral services. Admiral Coghtan of the Caribbean squadron is president of the court, and the mem- bers of the court have been selected, as far as possible, from vessels of other squadrons. It is not expected, how- ever, by those who are familiar with the circumstances, that the court will recommend any proceedings in the case, inasinuch as those who are pre- sumed to be at fault were the turret officers, and they were killed by the explosion. The bodies of the victims are being sent away as fast as their relatives make the requests. It is ex- pected that some of the sixteen bodies interred yvesterday will be disinterred. There are no developments to-day ex- cept bringing to light the disappear- ance of A. W. Boughard, a seaman who was in the turret. Two seamen who were on the afterdeck say they saw a man's body blown through the hole in the top of the turret and into the gulf. In the excitement of the mo- ment they made no effort to recover the _hody, but rushed to fire quarters when they were sounded. The real cause of the explosion probably never will be know: —_————— Eastern reports appear to show that President Roosevelt will be the favorite for renomination as Presidential candi- date, and will probably be re-elected, as he is one of the strongest champions of home life.
