Paris, Feb. 14.— The French government has made a notable concession to the American in surance companies, whereby the new insurance law will not be applied so as to affect injuriously their interests. This closes a long and animated controversy, w hlch threatened at one time to re sult in restrictions making It difficult for the American compar.r-s to continue business In France. The concession* now granted are a dis tirot mark of the eovemmenfs desire to foster the friendly relations between the two countries. This frit-ndly action is taken at a time when the American delegates at Aleeclras are able to exert important pressure toward settling: the Franco-German differences. The Insurance law permitted the government to require foreign companies to deposit French securities as a guarantee for the payment of French policies. The American companies agreed to deposit French bonds covering their future business, but they objected to making a large purchase of French securities covering their past business. The Minister of Commerce insisted on deposits on past business, approxi mately SSo.OOO.ChX*. The government has now waived the latter deposit, on condition that the companies publicly announce that their past business is guaranteed by American securities and not by French securities. The regulation to this effect, with the government indorsement, has been submitted to the Council of State as a preliminary to its promulgation by the State De partment. Ambassador McCormick. who is now at sea on his way back to his post, has taken an active part in the discussion. Its satisfactory conclu sion has been communicated to Washington by the Charge d'Affaires. Mr. Vicnaul. who advised the department that it was the belief in diplo quarters that France's friendly course would be recognized by suitable acknowledg ments from the American government and sym pathetic consideration for French interests in other pending questions. France's action, how ever, was entirely spontaneous, without the slightest suggestion of the Moroccan or other questions. MOXU3IEXTS DEDICATED. Commission at Santiago — Hearty Cuban Welcome. Santiago de Cuba, Feb. 14.— Cuban gratitude, American cordiality and official dignity marked the celebration of the unveiling this afternoon of the monument at El Caney In honor of the Americans who lost their lives in the siege of Santiago. The American officers enthusiasti cally praise Governor Yerro, Mayor Bacardi and the Cuban military officers and citizens for their hearty reoeption. Many thousands of people crowded El Caney Road, but in spite of this there was no serious blockade, the police man agement being perfect and the road eaual to a c:ty boulevard. At the battlefield the Fifth Ar tillery and the Cuban artillery bands alternated la playing military and other airs. Lieutenant General S. B. M. Young, repre senting President Roosevelt In a dignified speech greeted the Cuban officials and people. General Andrada, representing President P&ima, responded, and expressed the national gratitude to the United States and the desire of Cuba to cooperate vith the United States in every way.

APPEAL FOR FAMINE SUFFERERS. Through the California branch the America* Natlenal Red Cross has received from the Amerl cans resident la Japan an appeal for the famine stricken people In three northern provinces of that country. In one province the rice crop has yielded or.ly 12 per cent of the average, and the sentence of death hangs over a quarter of a million of people If forgotten &nd unaided. In the eastern portion of another province the yield is, only 15 per cent, and three hundred thousand people are In great distress and on the verge of absolute starvation, and in at third province it is certain that over one hundred thousand persons cannot live without speedy and prolonged aid- The report says: Already thousands in these three provinces are reduced to shrub roots and the bark of trees, by whl'h mere li f e may for a time be sustained, but at the "least calculation six hundred and eighty thou sand r-ople are now facing extreme conditions.

POWERS SEEK TERMS America and Italy Active at the tyoroccan Conference. Algeciras. Feb. 14. — Yesterday's optimism re garding the outcome of the Moroccan confer ence appears to have been as gTeatly exagger ated as was Monday's pessimism. It must be understood that one conversation will not suf fice to settle the Franco-German difficulties, but it is the fact that negotiations are going on with the same gocd prospects of success which always have existed. The Associated Press has the best authority for denying the statement emanating from Berlin that M. Revoil. tha principal French delegate, proposed that France, Spain and one other power shall control the Moroccan police. On the same authority It can be said that no Importance should attach to the alternations of optimism and pessimism In the French press. The efforts of disinterested powers, particu larly the United States and Italy, have been active In the last three days toward finding a satisfactory arrangement of the questions of the etate bank and the police, both of which form the subject of conversations between the delegates of the powers directly interested. The German delegates are fully aware of the fact that France considers that control of the police is absolutely necessary to her position on the Mediterranean. The admission of that fact as an absolute condition Is necessary to the suc cess of the conference, and the disinterested powers will seek to find concessions In other directions. The delegates at their session to-day exam ined the proposed reforms in the customs of Morocco and the plans for the suppression of the contraband traffic in arms, and then ad journed until Saturday. No word was spoken at the session concerning the main feature of the Franco-German controversy. The Ameri can delegates, while optimistic, admit that the prolonged inability of the French and Germans to reach an agreement renders the situation in creasingly difficult. Ambassador White, head of the American mis sion, has played the leading part In bringing the French and German delegates Into confidential communication, his Idea being thus to bring about a private understanding: before the Issues are presented at the sessions. If a private un derstanding should not be reached. Mr. White hopes that the open conference may find a so lution. He and the Marquis Visconti Venosta, head of the Itsiian mission, and others have diicussed numerous plans, but not one of them has taken concrete form, owing to the firmness displayed on each side. Berlin, Feb. 14.— The situation at Alseciras has again changed. Ther* is a possibility of a way yet being forund to bring: the German and French governments into agreement, though tha nature of the suggestions, which have been made by a neutral power, not made public. Washington. Feb. 14— All that can be ascer tained at the State Department regarding the reported intention of Ambassador White to sub mit a proposition to the Aigreciras conference which will be acceptable to both the German and French representatives is that the Am bassador's basic Instructions look to the ex tension of his good offices, whenever they can be prudently offered, to prevent a failure of the conference and to reconcile opposing Interests. It is believed at the State Department that there is middle ground between the extreme French and German views on which both par ties may be brought tog-ether, and it 13 not doubted that Mr. White will endeavor to bring this about if there Is promise of success attend ing h!s efforts. Meanwhile, it is said, there is a better rea son for hope from the fact that the issues over which the German and French are contending Just now are those toward which America may properly be regarded as occupying a position of neutrality, hence Mr. White 1 * activities could not be questioned as beine influenced by self interest. RUSSIAN WABSKIPS DEFECTIVE. Admiral Rojestvensky Ascribes Defeat to Structural Weakness. St. Petersburg, Feb. 14 —"Perhaps I am guilty to some extent f«r our defeat, and perhaps my subordinates did not do all they might have done, but at all events we who fought the bat tle were not thieves," said Admiral Rojest vensky. who addressed the Imperial Teehanlcal Society yesterday evening on the causes of the Russian defeat In th« Sea of Japan. The ad miral mads no epeclflc charges regarding ras cality In the construction or equipment of the ships, but he told of the destructive effect of the heavy Japanese shells, which when they ex ploded In the water near the Russian vessels cracked plates and opened great leaks, while those which hit the Russian ships were as de structive as mines. A young lieutenant in the course of the dis cussion attempted to lay the blame on sub marine boats, but the admiral 6aid that no sub marine boats or mines were used in the en gagement.. JUDGMENT AGAINST COATS WORKS. Warsaw, Feb. 14.— The Commercial Court at ■U'ldezow, near Lodz, has ordered the Coats thread factory to pay the wages of eight hundred em ployes for the ten weeks when the works were closed.

The list was a long one and con tained many excellent examples, though It could scarcely be called Ingeniously designed, either for the purpose of bringing out the beauties of the songs themselves or for disclosing the excellences of Mme. Eames's art. It had a nrm and dignified beginning In the air from Gluck's "Armide." "Ah al la ÜberteV' which wai also the finest, most dignified and altogether most artistic of the etngrer'B performances, disclosing a much loftier conception of the style demanded by the music than anything else heard during the after noon. It raised high expectations, which however, were dashed at once by her cold, unemotional, square-toed singing of Bach's thrice gracious and graceful song from the Pentecost cantata. "Mem glaubiges Herze." for which she enlisted, quite unnecessarily, mough with the sanc tion of the text, a violoncello obbllgato. The lack of warmth was a feature of all the songs, though there were some In which the deficiency wa» made up to some extent by the brilliant quality of her voice and Its generous volume. It was worthy of note that her voice and manner were at their best In songs which asked little depth of senti ment. In songs like Bchubert's "Gretchen am Spinnrade" there was a surprising failure to grasp the dramatic development and its climax, nor was the sustained ecstasy <if Richard Strauss's "Traum durch die Dammerung" maintained, which put a se vere strain on Mme. Eames's musicianship. That musicianship. Indeed, was frequently on trial In the course of the afternoon. Her intonation was never Impeccable, and her beautiful voice was frequency put to strangely Inartistic uses. Every song was marked by conscientious endeavor; but endeavor does not always suffice in a song recltaL Song singing is a difficult art. H. E. K. "LUCIA"' REPEATED. Thla Is Mme. Sembrich's and Caruso's busy weeK. They sang on Monday and again laet night, before a crowded house, this time In "L.ucia di Lammer moor," and were rewarded by the accustomed trib utes from the audience. Both, of course, will be heard to-night. In the vaudeville bill, and still again on Saturday in "'Marta." At the performance last night, during the first act. some of the woods fell suddenly down upon the stage, without injuring anybody, however. It Is said these woods had been doing duty all day in a rehearsal of "Der Z!^»uner baron," and were weary. MR. SAFONOFF AND THE PHILHARMONIC. Current reports about the engagement of Mr. Safonoff as permanent conductor of the Philhar monic Society seem to call for correction. Some time ago the board of directors was appointed a committee by the society to consider the question of the conductorship for next season and report on the subject to the society at an eaxiy opportunity. A sub-committee, of the board had a more or less Informal discussion of the matter with Mr. Safonoff on the afternoon Immediately preceding his de parture for Europe last week. At this meeting It developed that Mr. Safonoff was desirous to re turn next season to conduct a larger number of concerts than he conducted this season, and that his obligations In Russia made January and Feb ruary 'he most practicable period for his visit. The plan met with the approval of the sub-com mittee, and, though nothing definite was agreed on It seems likely that Mr. SafonoiT -will direct three or four subscription concerts, with their public re hearsals, with possibly an extra pair thrown In. WHIRLED TO HIS DEATH. Machinist, Caught in Shafting, Killed in Fiancee's Sight. Walter Feuerhacke. a machinist, of No. 470 Broadway, Willtamsburr. was almost Instantly killed late yesterday afternoon by being whirled around the shafting In the candy factory of Green field & Co., at No. 107 Lorimer-at. His death was witnessed by nearly three hundred girls employed In the factory. Including Miss Lena Howerlng. of No. 761 Park-aye., whom Feuerhacke was to have married la two weeks. Miss Howerlr.g fell In a faiju to the floor, and hirer being attended by an ambulance surgeon was taken to her home in a hysterical condition. Feuerhacke was attempting to adjust a pulley, when his coat 6leeve got caught. The next Instant he wb.3 lifted off the ladder on which he stood and was whirled around the fast moving shaft. Before the machinery could be stopped his hody had been dashed aiar.y times against the ceiling. GOLD AT CALIFORNIA DBWE3 Surprise in Store for Pacific Coast Men at St Regis To-night.
