KROHN WILL NOT DISCUSS HIS PLIGHT Declines to Offer Explana tions of Wea^ Points in His Story. peeling iQ Madera Grows More Bitter Against tf)e Young Official's Accusers. MADERA, May 29.— 1f there Is any mystery concerning the details of the alleged robbery of Deputy Tax Collec tor Krohn it has not yet been solved. Circumstances have developed that are held by some to point to a conclusion not in accordance with the story told by Krohn, but they have served no more definite purpose than to accentu ate the bitter feeling the majority of the people in this community hold agrainst those who pretend to look with suspicion on the story told by the pop ular young official. Krohn is still confined to his room from the effects, so his physician states, of the beating- he received at the hands of the two masked robbers. His numerous friends are permitted to see and converse with him, but newspaper correspondents are excluded. To all queries the reply is that Krohn does not care to be Interviewed. This re luctance on his part to discuss the de tails of the alleged robbery is unfortu nate, as It leaves the public in doubt on several Important points that, as the case now stands, are certainly not in Krohn's favor. One of these points has to do with the question of the time at which the supposed robbery occurred. On the day following the robbery Krohn stated he was attacked by robbers at about 10:30 o'clock in the evening, and that during the struggle that ensued a pano of glass in the counter railing was shattered. Several persons who were near tho office heard the crash of the breaking glass and all agree that it occurred at 11:25 o'clock — fifty-five minutes later than the time fixed by X: hn. This fact, taken In connection with Kr< inn's statement concerning the time 'ii the steel safe inside the large vault, forms a bit of circumstantial evidence that is troubling the minds of the friends of the young man. The was kept in this steeh safe, and Krohn says the time lock on the safe was set for 11 o'clock. In other words, the safe could be opened by any one familiar with the combination before lock, but after that hour no one could open it until a fixed hour on the .ing- morning. According to Krohn's story, he was held up at 10:30 k and was told to open the safe. He replied that he could not, as the time lock was on. The robbers said they knew the time lock did not begin to work until 11 o'clock, and If he did not comply with their demand they would kill him. Krohn then went to the safe and opened it. One of the robbers looted the safe, and then both attempted to lock Krohn in the vault. During the struggle that ensued the glass was broken, Krohn was beaten into Insensibility and the rob bers escaped with the coin. All of these things are supposed to have occurred within the space of ten minutes. The glass was broken at 11:23 o'clock has been established beyond a reasonable doubt by the testimony of three or four reputable witnesses, who heard the crash and located the noise as coming from the interior of che Tax Collector's office. One of these wit nesses is Night Watchman Tooker, who was within 150 feet of the office at tho time. He, in company with others, made an immediate Investigation, but was unable to discover anything. Pre suming that the glass was broken ten minutes after the robbers first entered the place, and after they had obtained possession of the cash, it follows that the time when Krohn was fored to open the time when Krohn was forced to open did open the safe, therefore, is a mani fest impossibility, for at that time the time lock had been at work fiften min ntes. If it is conceded that three or four dis interested witnesses are telling the truth regarding the time when they heard the crash of breaking glass, then ADVERTISEMENTS.

For Information uddroaa tOIIN BON-LOCK B MERCANTILE COMPANT, ~08 Market at., San Francisco, j the story told by Krohn Is impossible of belief, because it is contradicted by facts that cannot lie. It is possible that Krohn can furnish | ] some explanation for this and other ! I apparent contradictions to his story, but he prefers to let the public place its own construction on the suspicious cir cumstances of the case as it now ap pears. So far as the county is con- I cerned, the alleged robbery will result in no public loss, as Krohn's bondsmen are responsible under the law. The ] | money that Krohn claims was stolen I { should have been paid into the treas ; ury some time ago, and the fact that ; it was not paid makes Krohn and his J bondsmen responsible for its loss. The work of experting Krohn's ac j counts is going slowly forward, but the j result will not serve to throw any light on the supposed robbery. The books will show that Krohn should have had in his possession the amount of money | he claims to have had, but they will I not show whether Krohn had appro- ] priated to his own use or whether it j was stolen at the time and in the man ner in which he says it was. The only result that the expert will be able to at tain will be to try to fix the exact amount which will have to be made good by the bondsmen. In this connection the generous action of Krohn's brothers and relatives is worthy of special notice. They have | signified their intention of turning over to the bondsmen all of their property without reserve in order that the bondsmen may indemnify themselves for the money they will be forced to turn over to the county. The property so off^rf/d amounts in value to more than $30,000. COMMERCE OF COUNTRIES NEAR THE PHILIPPINES. Statistics of Interest to American Producers in View of Present Conditions. WASHINGTON. May 29.— The com merce of the countries adjacent to the Philippine Islands is the subject of a series of tables which will appear in the i next monthly publication of the Bureau of Statistics. The statement consists of tables showing the population and commerce of the islands adjacent to the Philip pines, and the share which the United States and other nations had in the commerce for a series of years, and is accompanied by a map showing the steamship routes and distance from that port to the ports of the adjacent countries. The fact that the countries now in easy reach of the Philip-pines contain a population of 85,000,000, that their purchases from other parts of the world amount to over a billion dollars every year and their exports to a like sum, and that the larger portion of these purchases comprise the classes of goods produced in the United States, add greatly to the interest in this sub ject. The tables will show the popula tion and area of the countries, their trad^ with each of the leading nations of the world and the percentage which each nation obtains of their exports and imports, the articles which have been exported to each by the United States during the past five years and the total commerce of the United States with each of the principal countries of that section by years since 1880. THREE SPANISH SPIES MAKE THEIR ESCAPE Futile Efforts to Capture the Men Who Tried to Destroy a Fort Taylor Mortar Battery. KEY WEST, May 29.— The three sup posed Spaniards who tried to blow up the mortar battery near Fort Taylor on Thursday night have not yet been captured. Captain Merrill, command ant at tho fortifications, had armed searching parties out looking for them last night, and to-day the torpedo boat Porter has been scouting in the adja cent waters in search of them, but without success. They are thought either to have gotten safely (iff to Culm, or to be in hiding on one of the neigh boring: keys. ■ Two of the suspects were seen driv ing along the beach road near the for tifications yesterday afternoon. They were followed to the eastern end of the island, where they were joined by a third man. All boarded a rowboat "and made for Stock Island, a neighboring key. One, who is thought to be the leader, carried a rifle. When last seen their boat was approaching a sloop or schooner lyinr off Stock Island. This morning both sloop and small boat were gone. The authorities have de tailed descript ! ns of the men. TO DRAW GERMANY AWAY FROM RUSSIA England to Accomplish Its Object May Make a Colonial Concession of Great Value. Copyrighted, IS9S, by James Gordon Bennett. BERLIN, May 29.-I am in a posi tion to inform you that English offi cers' expressions of friendship to Ger many, ambiguously referred to by Joseph Chamberlain at Birmingham, were of a most decided character. In fact, they have taken official as well as non-official Germany rather by sur prise. It is even asserted here that the project includes a possible colonial con cession of great value to Germany, pre sumably as the price for drawing Ger many away from Russia. I have also authority for the state ment that the idea of England, Ger many and America joining hands is be ing seriously entertained, not so much here, but in Washington and London, whence it Is forced on German atten tion. The rumor that Sir Frank Lascelles was about to be transferred from here le utterly unfounded. The British Em bassador Is persona gratlsslma with the Emperor. J XHJ3 SAW FBAKCISCO CALI,, MONDAY, MAY 30, 1898. NEW POLICY SHAPED BY THE WAR Henry Norman Writes of the Probable Course of This Government. Believes It Will forsake Tradition and Retain Territory Wrested from Spain. Call Office, Riggs House, Washington, May 29. Henry Norman, editor of the London Daily Chronicle, whose letters from §city during the Venezuelan bound dispute attracted such widespread rition. is in Washington again as correspondent of his paper. To t he cabled the following to the Chronicle, and through his courtesy the Associated Press is able to present the matter from this side. Since my arrival I have sought dili gently in all quarters for some outline or suggestion of the policy to be pursued by the United States in the immediate fu ture. The result of the war is a fore gone conclusion. Each day's news has, therefore, only an incidental interest. But, wholly without intention on the part of the administration, the country is rapidly approaching a situation where a decision more momentous than any for j a century past must i><- taken. The re- I suits of this decision will affect European nations hardly less than America Itself. Upon such matter I have been unwilling Ksay a word until convinced it was ed on solid facts. I have conversed h almost every man, beginning with highest, where authority will mold issue, and with many other friends new acquaintances, representative of all shades of opinion. The inquiry has been like the search for a needle in a haystack, and 1 have now reached the conclusion that in this particular stack there Is no needle at all. I mean that neither in the White House nor the State Department is there any definite conviction or determination on the future direction of the national pol icy with regard to the disposal of these over-sea possessions over which the American flag will be flying when the war is over. This may sound like a hos tile criticism. Nothing is further from my mind. The United States has drifted steadily toward its new fate. If the Maine had not been blown up war would not exist to-day. The neutrality of Eng land forced Admiral Dewey's squadron to sea, and to smash the Spanish Asiatic Iron and seize Manila was his only • -••. This accomplished, it became in stantly imperative to send him re-en- Mients, and these had to be strong -• h to defeat twenty Spanish regi ments and occupy the principal islands. The same is true of the Atlantic. When war was declared it was believed that the insurgents were capable of taking the field against the Spanish if supplied with arms, ammunition and food. It is now known that they arc wholly incapable of this, and the military authorities have become deeply averse to any co-operation with the insurgents, holding the view that the American army should act with com plete Independence, sq as to be free to face whatever situation may arise after the Spanish are expelled. To President MoKinley alone Is due tho escape of this country from the fatal blunder of recognizing the Insurgents as belligerents, and for this every tninking American to-day is - rofoundly grateful. Again, there was originally no intention of bombarding or seizing Porto Rico. Admiral Sampson's bombardment was a failure; it should have been sooner and final or not at all. That mistake Is not to be repeated, and the second Spanish fleet will not find a base there. Moreover, nobody could have foreseen the extraordinary change of public opin ion after Admiral Dewey's victory. Be tween April 3 and May 1 a revolution took place. On that day the Idea of keeping the Philippines had not occurred to any body; on the next day few people thought of giving them up. Now, also, it is ap preciated that it is impossiole to dispose of them to any other power without the gravest complications, while public senti ment is intolerant of the idea of restor ing them to Spain's misrule. Thus, in every direction, events have moved and the administration has follow ed. . In Ambassador Hay's words, it has been a case of imposition of invisible hands. The moving finger has written] and it cannot be lured back to "cancel half a line." The question is, will the United States, when peace is signer!, withdraw within its rid limits, abide by its old traditions and resist the temptation of empire; or will it accept boldly what the fortunes of war have brought and turn its face toward a new destiny? The struggle will be long and bitter. The opponents of annexation urge that the constitution permits no territory to be incorporated in the Union which cannot become a state. It is replied that America must no longer let George Wash ington do its thinking for it. "Why," ask some, "would we needlessly entangle ourselves with European powers and enter the far Eastern political are- na?" "We are always entangled, reply the others, "our interests are equal to those of England in keeping open the vast mar kets of China, and England will he over borne and China seized piecemeal unless we range ourselves alongside her." "It will take a great navy and army," say the objectors. "It is perfectly certain," reply the an nexationists, "that the country has al ready determined to have such a strong navy and army that we never again shall be caught in this disgraceful state of unprepared ness." In view of this sharp division of opinion it is obvious the only statesmanlike course of the President is to finish the war first and let the policy take care of itself.

M has been decided to enforce only a mod erate revenue tariff upon the Philip pines, to which American goods will be subject like the goods of other nations, and this is already so great a departure from tradition as to render other de partures lees surprising. Cuba will be given every chance of freedom, but if, as may be, she lacks the elements of inde pendence, she must become American. That Porto Rico will be retained I feel sure. Europe, therefore, needs to en visage a development of American pol icy which will upset many calculations arid possibly radically modify the pres ent balance of power. CERVERA CARRIED NO FOOD TO SANTIAGO Landed Men and Arms, but Brought No Provisions to Relieve the Famine Situation. PORT AU PRINCE, May 29. — Two Italians who set out from Santiago de Cuba in a small boat on May 19 and landed near Mole St. Nicholas on the 22d, arrived here to-day bringing in formation as to the situation at San tiago. The state of affairs there is critical, particularly so because of the lack of food. A great many of the un fortune people, especially the recon centrados, are dying of starvation. The whole population is terribly dis couraged and keenly desirous of peace. The arrival of the squadron under Cervera without food supplies for the city deepened the general despond ency. The squadron has disembarked 800 men, artillery men and engineers, and landed 20,000 Mauser rifles, a great quantity of ammunition and four big guns destined fur the fortifications. In spite of the strict silence main tained by the officers and the com manders, the general expression was, when the Italiar left, that the squad ron would set out for San Juan, Porto munition there. THE HARVARD TAKING ON COAL AT KINGSTON. She Will Be Allowed to Remain in Port Twenty-four Hours Longer Than Usual. KINGSTON, Jamaica, May 28 (de layed in transmission).— The United States auxiliary cruiser Harvard, for merly the American line steamer New York, is coaling here. The Colonial (Government is undecided as to how much coal she will be allowed to take on board, but she will probably ship six hundred tons at least, enough for all present purposes. As something trifling is wror - with her steering gear and her boilers are dirty, she will be allowed to remain h«ro 24 hours longer than usual, under the neutrality regulations. With the exception of medicines, the Harvard has not taken on board any supplies. Captain Cotton of the Harvard said that all were well on board the squad ron when he left the vessels under the command of Commodore Schley on Fri day. Rear Admiral Sampson was then supposed to be off the northwest coast of Cuba. STORES FOR THE ZAFIRO SEIZED AT HONGKONG Dewey Is Fortifying Corregidor Island and Mining the Channel of Manila Bay. Copyrighted, IS9B, by James Gordon Bennett. -ONGKONG, May 29. — The police last night seized a quantity of stores which were being supplied by a Chi nese "compredore" at Hongkong to the United States auxiliary cruiser Zaflro, now being 1 used as a transport. The stores were conveyed in three lighters and a steam launch to the Zaflro, which is still at Kowloon Bay, in Chi nese waters, where she has been coaled and provisioned. Americans are fortifying Corregidor Island at the entrance to Manila Bay and are mining the channel. They will give a warm reception to any possible antagonist. CALIFORNIANS IN NEW YORK NEW YORK.
