A RENEWAL OF FRIENDSHIP Between the Republic and the Kingdom Pledged The Spanish Repre scntativc Cordially Received and Welcomed Bac& to the Diplo matic Circle Minister Storer Presented in Madrid at Same Hour A Lengthy Report From General WoodAffairs in Santiago Province Pro gressing Satisfactorily. , Washington, June 3. Diplomatic relations with Spain, broken off April 21, 1898, were formally resumed at 11 o'clock today when President MeKin ley greeted Due d'Arcos, the newly ac credited minister to the United States, Jn the Blue parlor of the white house. Simultaneously, in Madrid, if the pro gramme arranged was carried out, Bel lamy Storer, the new United States minister to Spain, was being present ed to Christina, the queen-regent dur ing the legal minority of his CathCjJef"' majesty, Alphonso XIII. It was a notable occasion in the world's history the resumption of friendly relations between two nations which had been at war and in the brief struggle had changed the map of the world. The speeches of today were especially notable. They were plain spoken and devoid of the usual hazy diplomatic phraseology. The ceremony was exceedingly sim ple. Promptly at 11 o'clock, the hour get, two carriages containing the Due d'Arcos, Secretary Hay and the secre taries of the new Spanish minister, Senors Riano and Pastor, reached the White house. Quite a crowd had col lected to catch a glimpse of the new minister. The party was immerdiate ly ushered into the Blue parlor. The due was attired in his resplendent dip lomatic uniform. Across his coat he wore a scarlet sash and on his breast sparkled the insignia of half a dozen orders, the dazzling cross of the Order of the Catholic being the most con Bpicuos. He carried his plumed cha peau in his left hand and the copy of his address in his right. The secretaries were likewise at tired in their gorgeous diplomatic uni forms. On reaching the Blue parlor they were presented by Secretary Hay to Colonel Bingham, who remained with them while the secretary of state retired for a moment. He immediately re-appeared1 with President MeKinley to whom he presented Due d'Arcos and Senors Riano and Pastor. The presi dent was cordial, but dignified, in his greeting. Due d'Arcos then read his address in Spanish. He stood a little in ad vance of his aides, facing the president, "while a little to the rear and right of the president, stood Secretary Hay. Colonel Bingham and Assistant Sec retary Cortelyou stood upon the left. The minister said: "Mr. President: I have the honor to place in your excellency's hands the royal letter by which her majesty, the queen-regent of Spain, in the name of her august son, King Don Alfonso XIII, accredits me near this govern ment, in the capacity of envoy extra ordinary and minister plenipotentiary. "I have come to renew the relations of friendship, which have existed from of old between Spain and the United States and , which were interrupted by the war of last year. The treaty of peace which Spain has signed put an end to that war and now, looking only to the future, Spain desires that her re lations with this republic may be as friendly as they were in times past, and from the days in which this country was struggling to gain its independence. It is my task to contribute to the re newal of these relations, to strengthen them and to draw them closer; and, in the discharge of it7 1 hope to be aid ed by the kindness and co-operation of your excellency and of your govern ment." The president responded as follows: "Mr. Minister: I receive with the greatest gratification, the letter by which her majesty, the queen-regent of Spain in the name of her august son, King Alfonso XIII, has accredit el you near this government as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo tentiary. "You will find, Mr. Minister, a cordial welcome in this country, not only from those whore friendship you acquired during your former residence, but from all our people, who rejoice as I do, at tie renewal of the ancient bonds of amity which, with a brief interruption, have united our nations for more than 100 years. That these friendly rela tions may be confirmed and strength ened, to the advantage of both peoples. Is my earnest wish, and I can assure you that every member of this govern ment will heartily co-operate with you to that desirable end." It was noticeable that Due d'Arcos, in referring to the gratification with which Spain resumed the friendly re lations with the United States that had existed for over 100 years, plainly said that these relations bad been broken by war, while the president delicately I spoke only of relations interrupted for a short time. At the conclusion of the address the ; president stepped forward and shook ? hands cordirJly with the new minister and they engaged in conversation in a low tone for a minute or two. The president gracefully inquired after the health of the queen-regent and the ; king. He courteously referred to the due's former residence in this country and his many friends here and re- peated the assurance of the concluding words of his formal greeting that ev ery one here would unite in making the minister's stay in this country pleasant and satisfactory. The party then retired and was driv en to the Arlington hotel. The ceremony today was in striking contrast with the meeting that oc curred in the same room April 7, 1898, two weeks before diplomatic relations were broken off, when tbe representa tives of the six great powers of Europe Great Britain, France, Germany, : Russia, Austria and Italy made a final effort to avert the impending war by presenting a joint note of the pow ers in the interest of a successful solu tion: of the Cuban problem. The presi dent upon that occasion still clug to the hope that peace would reign, but j he distinctly impressed the represen ; tatives of the powers that Spain must afford the necessary guarantee for the re-establishment of order on the island ENCOURAGING REPORT FROM j GENERAL WOOD. The war department has recived a lengthy report from General Wood at Santiago, in which he says he has just returned from a long trip through the interior and along the north coast of Santiago province. The people are all at work, peaceful, contented and, as far as one can see, fairly happy. Gen eral Wood' speaking of the alleged bri gandage in his province says: "The reports which had alarmed the citizens in the vicinity of Sama and1 Banes, were, as far as I could learn, circu lated by an old scoundrel called Feria. He has spent his time apparently in circulating reports of brigandage and actually inciting some ignorant men to commit lawless acts. I took him off quietly and told him. that my orders to my officers and the guardia rural were to give all men of his description a short shift if they were caught in any work of this sort. The whole problem today in Cuba is work. Put the idle people who are reading the incendiary press to work, relegate to a back seats the politicians whose present impor tance Tests solely on the attentions they are receiving from our people and they will not have followers enough left to give them the-slightest importance or weight in the community." TO AVERT TROUBLE OVER ALAS KAN BOUNDARY. It is learned at the state department that the negotiations now in progress at London between Ambassador Choate and Lord Salisbury relate, entirely to the arrangement of a modus vivendi to avert the danger of a hostile colli sion on the Alaskan border, during the present season at least. It is expected to resume the negotiations for the set tlement of the whole boundary ques tion when Sir Julian Paunceforte re turns to Washington from the Hague. There is every reason to belive the at tempt to secure a modus vivendi will succeed, but the basis cannot be dis closed at this time. General Young Sails for ITIanlla New York, June 3. General Samuel B. Young has left here for the Philip pines. In Washington he had a con versation with the president before going west. Asd if he thought General Otis could subdue the islands with 30,000 men. as he claims, General Young re plied that he had no doubt of it. He said further that it would not take a month to do the work after the rainy season is over. Troops Guarding Court Durlns a man der Trial Lexington, Ky., June 3. One hun dred picked riflemen of the First Ken tucky regiment and a Gatling gun bat tery left today by a special train for Clay county, in the mountains, to serve as a guard during the trial of Thomas Howard for murder. Howard is connected with parties to a bitter feud and it was regarded as necessary to have troops present to prevent vio lence. Dewey to Leave Hons Kods Tuesday Hong Kong, June 3. Admiral Dew ey's health is still improving, but he is keeping quiet at the Peak hotel, only once having come down to the city and accepting no invitations. He will sail on Tuesday. According to his present plans he will not visit England on his homeward journey, but will proceed straight to Gibraltar and thence to New York, where he expects to arrive at the beginning of October, after a leisurely voyage.

One of Senator Pritchard's friends writes me as follows regarding the re cent letting down of the civil service bars: "In the recent order modifying the civil service law the president adopted many of the suggestions con tained in the report of Senator Pritch ard, who is chairman of the civil ser vice committee. Among other things the senator recommended the exemp tion of all positions in the revenue ser vice except clerks and that recom mendation was adopted without modi fication." The state superintendent of public in struction has written a letter to At torney General Walser, asking whether the recent decision of Judge Timber lake as to Sampson county, that the old and not the new board of education is entitled to office, applies to all the counties or to Sampson alone. The f usionists have had some good pickings out of the agricultural depart ment and its is said they have had some rarely good ones at the Agricul tural and Mechanical college. One of the fusionists said regarding all the boards: "All of us 'are .rascals, demo crats and fusionists, too." The board of agriculture meets again October 17th, when the state fair will be in progress. The state treasurer decides as to the tax on undertakers that it is $10 for the state and $10 for the county. He also decides that an undertaker is a man who has charge of funerals and not a manufacturer or seller of coffins. The tax on undertakers does not therefore apply to the latter. The state charters the Patterson Tex tile Company, which will build and op erate cotton and woolen mills at the town of Halifax. The capital is $200,003 and the stockholders are Oustavus and Clarence Millhiser, of Richmond, and Samuel F. Patterson, of Baltimore. A North Carolinian named Bobo, from McDowell county, is in jail at San Juan, Porto Rico, charged with killing a native. He has been court-martialed and E. J- Justice, member of the legis lature for McDowell, went there and defended him. Justice has returned and says Bobo will be acquitted. Bobo's father was killed in the Custer mas sacre in 1876 and his father-in-law is the sole survivor of that massacre. His name Is Kanife. Odds are offered that George T. Win ston will be elected president of the Agricultural and Mechanical college here Monday. Mr. Cronly, ,of the Atlantic Coast Line, was her today and delivered to Clerk Brown, of the corporation com mission all the returns of the Atlan tic Coast Line up to May 30th. This is quick and highly creditable work. THE SITUATION IN SAMOA The mataafans Keep Back of the "Dead. Line," but Strengthening their Position Tauu de facto King Apia, Samoa, May 19, via San Fran cisco, June 3. Since Admiral Kautz's proclamation of April 23rd, directing Mataafa and his following to keep be hind certain defined limits around Apia, the prescribed district, covering ah area of twelve miles long and six miles broad and which was followed by a no tification to Mataafa that unless the rebels were outside the prescribed lim its in twenty-four hours fire would be opened upon them wherever they could be reached, there has been no conflict with the rebels. Captain Sturdee and her majesty's ship Porpoise, accompanied by Rev. William Huckett, of the London Mis sionary Society, as interpreter, paid the rebel camp at Falenta a visit the day following, and, in order to avoid mistakes in the future, went over the boundary line with several Mataafan chiefs, who promised to keep the peace until the commission had time to act. The district which the rebels have evacuated is quite large enough to supply food to the Malietoans in Apia, and thus one of the great difficulties of the naval authorities has been ob viated. Since the rebels went to Fa lenta, a strong patrol of 700 or 800 men daily make the round, seeing that all is quiet and that no looting or damage is done by Malietoa's followers. Mataafa is building forts inland of the town of Falenta and his followers stoutly declare that even if the commis sion is unanimous against him, he will never acknowledge Tanu as king and will fight to the bitter end. The assertions may be only talk, but t the question of the kingship does not i seem to lie within the scope of the com J mission. Tanu was publicly crowned j by the American and British authori ties and was saluted with royal honors , by the Philadelphia and the Tauranga on the occasion of his coronation and of his formal visit at the warships : since the armistice has been in force. ' His chiefs and Tamasese, the vice king, are carrying on the government in a way that performs all the functions of a good and stable government and they are in possession. Tanu is king de fac to as well as de jure. In addition there are now in Apia 3,500 male adults car rying 2,700 rifles, supporting him. This means that absolutely half of Apia is . at present supporting Tanu as king of Samoa In the meantime, the . rebels are strengthening their positions, sending out messengers for their sympathizers ; to come and join them and are busily j engaged manufacturing cartridges.

I think we have served long enough and I intend to step aside and give some one else a chance. I believe the other members will resign too." Politicians here regard this as ample confirmation of the inference that the Illinoisai is now Mr. Bryan's cam pagn manager. They say that as chair man of the "co-operators," he is more than likely to call for contributions to the cause of 16 to 1. Should the demo cratic national committee relegate that issue to the rear, he would have to quit one position or the other.

Good fiargaln for Her CParlGe Islauds-The Opinion at Washington. Madrid", June 3. Germany, it is an nounced, pays 25,000,000 pesetas for the Carolina, Palaos and Marianne is lands, Spain retains three coaling sta tions one in each group and Germany undertakes to defend these stations in case of war. Germany, in addition, grants Spain the most favored nation treatment in Germany and in the co lonial islands. Berlin, June 3. The announcement of the cession of the Caroline and other islands to Germany met with a most favorable reception here. The papers which commented upon it laid stress on the success of German policy, which. it is pointed out, accomplished now what Prince Bismarck was unable to do in 1885. Washington, June 3. The opinion here is that Spain has made a very good bargain in the price she obtains for the Pacific islands. The cash com- tiensatkm is about eaual to the sum of $5,000,000 in United States money, Which, it is believed, would alone be full compensation; but in addition, the guarantees afforded by Germany are regarded as extraordinary. The per mission to Spain to retain three coal ipjg stations, and above all, the under taking to protect these in time of war, are certainly of great value. In fact, it is said, the undertaking to protect the coaling stations for Spain may be regarded as in a sense committing Germany to an alliance with Spain, for it is conceivable, to execute the guar antee, Germany may be placed in a po sition where she must go to war for Spain's sake. The concession that Spain may enjoy favored treatment in trade with Ger many and her colonies is said to be of value so far as the mother country is concerned, but of little importance in respect to the colonies of Germany. It is said at the state department that our government is not in the way to be advised officially of this tran saction until, perhaps, Ambassador White, at Berlin, reports it to the de partment as an item of information. The reason for this is that the transfer nominally concerns nobody save the two parties to it. It is said that the United States might have acquired the islands some time ago on practically the same terms. Certainly as to the Carolines, we might have had possession of Ualan, the pearl of the group, and perhaps all of the islands, in exchange for $1,000, 000 cash and exceptional trade rights for Spanish trade in Porto Rico and Cuba. During the peace conference at Paris! the American commissioners of fered $1,000,000 for Ualan, and the trade was underway, When it was broken off through the additional demand by Spain for favored treatment in trading with Cuba and Porto Rico.

Manila, June 4.-10:45 a. m. A vig orous campaign was begun on Satur day against General Pio del Pilar's force of 2,000 rebels in the foot hills at the mouth of LaGuna de Bay and in the towns of Cainta, Tay Tay and Anti Polo, under the supervision of General Lawton. General Hall, with 2,500 men, moved southeast from the pump ing station and Colonel Whalley, who relieved General King in command of hia brigade, proceeded east from San, Pedro Marati, the two divisions ap proaching each other. Colonel Whal ley captured Cainta with small loss, the rebels fleeing before the advance of the United States troops.

Province of Brittany An Unbiased Court to be Had There The Decision of the Reviewing Court Assures the Acquittal of the Accused Drevfus Notified of the Decision. How the News is Received by the Dif ferent Factions. Paris, June 3. The court of cassa tion today rendered a verdict in favor of a revision of the Dreyfus case, and ordering a new court-martial, to sit at Rennes, sixty miles from Nantes, for tie trial of the prisoner. Previous to the announcement of the verdict, crowds of people assembled at the palace of justice and in its neigh borhood, awaiting the decision. Per fect calm prevailed. The decision, which was pronounced at 3:40 o'clock p. m., says the prisoner Is to be retried on the following question: "Is Dreyfus guilty of having, in 1S94, practiced machination or of having communication with a foreign power or its agents with the view of facilitating acts of hostilities in the case of a war with France, or having furnished the means therefor by furnishing notes or documents retraced on the bordereau." The audience received the decision with cries of "Vivefja Justice!" "Vive la Loi!" The session opened at 3 o'clock, when the prudent 0f the court, Mazeau, gave Judgment in the following tenor: "The court, after hearing the report of the premier president of the civil chamber, the public prosecutor's find ings, and the application of Maitre Mornard (cousel for Madame Dreyfus) declare that the demand for a revision of the Dreyfus case was presented in proper, form, and in view of the results of said inquiry, in view of the pre sentation to the court-martial of a se cret document bearing the words "cette canalle de De ," and seeing that the communication of this document is proved by the depositions of M. Casi-mir-Perier, General Mercier and Gen eral de Boisdeffre, and seeing that M. Cassimir-Perier has heard from Gen eral Merier that the document bearing the words "cette canaille de D ," submitted to the court-martial, was be lieved to indicate "Dreyfus, and that in addition General Mercier and de Bois deffre, who were invited to say whether they knew if same communication had occurred, refused to reply, thus ac konweldging it; seeing that by revela tions subsequent to verdict.the commun ication of the court-martial of a docu- ' ment capable of influencing their minds j and now not regarded as applicable to j Dreyfus, constitutes a new fact calcu ! lated to establish the innocence of r Dreyfus; seeing that the crime charg ; ed against Dreyfus consisted of fur- nishing to a foreign power secret doc uments connected with the national de , fense, accompanying which was a mis ' sive styled a bordereau, undated, un ; signed and written on filigraned paper, ! which is no longer manufactured, and 4 A A. ...11. A. r SAA f A. mat iwu auinenncaiea letters, written on the identical paper, dated contem poraneously with the bordereau, were discovered in the house of Esterhazey, the writing upon which experts have declared to be the same as that of the bordereau, which facts were unknown to the court-martial, tend to establish the innocence of Dreyfus; seeing that the alleged confessions of Dreyfus to Captain Lebrun-Renaud are disproved; in view of these arguments and without submitting others, the court quashes and annuls the verdict of condemnation of December 22, 1894, against Alfred Dreyfus, by the first court-martial of the military government of Paris and sends the accused 'before a court-martial at Rennes, to be specially appoint ed to conduct the new trial." EFFECT OF THE DECISION. ; (Copyright by Associated Press.) j Paris, June 3. The court of cassa tion revises the Dreyfus case and or ders a new trial before a court-martial at Rennes. Every one expected this l decision; still, it caused a hush of as- tonishment. It was received in court , with Jubilant cries of "Vive la Jus tice!" ; The Jewish world rejoiced at the Sat urday services in the synagogues. Telephone messages from the law j courts apprised the senate and cham j ber of deputies of the decision. In the ! former there is a strong Dreyfusite 1 majority. In the latter 'the Dreyfusites are in the minority, but are extremely energetic and aggressive. The rights are thoroughly anti-Dreyfusite. The announcement of the decision was posted in the lobby, which happen ed to be crowded, and was received with great varieties of feeling. The anti-Semitic journals had predicted that a new trial would be ordered at Amiens, where the radical spirit pre ponderates. Rennes is the capital of Catholic Bittany, but General Lucas, commanding the Tenth artillery corps there, is a Jew. This will assure the judges being unbiased by clerical feel ings, but will afford the anti-Dreyfu-ites an excuse for keeping up the agi tation on the ground that the court martial is packed. There is no perma nent court-martial at Rennes, as there is in Paris. General Lucas will choose seven of ficers for judges. The general feeling throughout Brittany is hostile to Drey fus. However, acquittal Is certain, since there was never any case against him save the bordereau and the "ca naille de D " letter. General Mercier, former minister of war, shows nervousness, though not the white feather. He, too, was advis ed to go abroad, but he will not do so. Before du Paty de Clam's arrest his description and photographs of him were sent to the frontier commissioners of police. AT LAST A PATHETIC FEATUIU1 A pathetic feature of the Dreyfuer case is the eleven long supplicatory let ters to President Paure from Devil la land. Dreyfus fancied that General de Boisdeffre and M. Faure were his friends, and he wrote to them accord, ingly . His whole heart, soul and ex asperated nerves were exprewcU fo these letters. No wonder that M. Faure in dying supplicated all those whom he had injured to forgive him. "Those" meant, coming from Faure't ips. Dreyfus and his family. The lato president suffered himself to bt black mailed into hindering the work of Jus tice and Neme5ls took him up also. Were he still alive the event of today could not have happened. Prwildent Loubet has stood out against all tam pering with the Judicature. Ookmei Plcquart's memorial wan adopted, though, in terms, by the court of ces sation. He is still in prison, but will probably be released next week. DREYFUS NOTIFIED OF THE DE CISION. The judgment of the court of roana lion was communicated to Ireyfu, and orders have been pent to convey him to Brest. EMILY CRAWFORD To cure plies, strike at the root that's the way.
