. E. T. Peoples Councilor,'
Paris, June 5, The Minsters met
this morning, President Loubet in the
chair, and decided to remove the
advocate general, M, Lombart, and
the Minister of Justice. M. Lebret,
was directed to begin proceedings
against M. Tardif, President of the
Assizes Court, before the council of
magistracy, for the way in which
they conducted the case against M.
Deroulede and Marcei-Habert, who
were acquitted Wednesday last of the
charge of inciting soldiers to insurb
ordination, at the time of the
election of President Loubet.
The Cabinet did not arrive at my
decision respecting Generals De Bois
deffre and Gonse, pending the result
of the inquiry regarding Du Paty De
Clam.
The Ministers also decided to trans
fer General Roget, who commanded
the troops which M. Deroulede at
tempted to lead to the Elysee Palace,
at the time of the election of President
Loubet, from Paris to Orleans.
Paris, June 5. The papers this
morning praise the calmness of Presi
dent Loubet throughout the demon
stration against him yesterday. Re
plying the stewards of the Auteuil
race, the President remarked:
You are in no way responsible and
to prove that I have no anger with
you, if there were races tomorrow I
would attend them. I am invited to
witness the Grand Prix on Saturday
next and you may be sure I will be
present."
On his return to the Elysee, M. Lou
bet said to those who accompanied
him:
"All of my family opposed my be
coming President and I had no desire
to remain at the Elysee, but now that
it is dangerous to be the chief of
State, my duty is clear, and I will let
my enemies, if I have any, be convin
ced that I sh;i;l accomplish my mis
sion to the end."
Of the 130 persons arrested in con
nection with the demonstration 43are
still held in custody.
Paris, June 5 The Matin today
publishes an interview with Major
Count Esterhazy accuses Lieutenant
Colonel Du Paty De Clam of having,
for safety, placed in his mother in
laws's house at Brussels extraordinary
documents whJch protect them both,
notably a long- report by General
Gonse, discussing the plan to be
followed in order to screen Ester-
hazy.
The Matin's correspondent at Brus
sels confirms the statement that Du
Paty De Clam left documents in the
possession of the D'Ursel family. Du
Paty De Clam's wife is a daughter of
the Duchesse D'Ursel, Grand Mistress
of the Queen's household and the
Queen's God Daughter.
The Minister of War, M. Kantz, has
ordered proceedings to be taken
against Esterhazy for obtaining and
using documents connected with the
so-called ''Secret Dossier" and the
Minister has also issued instructions
that proceedings be taken against
General Pelleux for the manner in
which he conducted the Esterhazy
case.
The Minister of Justice, M. Lebret,
has written to the President of the
Chamber of Deputies, M. Deschanel,
calling his attention to the reference
in the decision of the Court of
Cassation to General Mercier's show
ing docuaents connected with the
Dreyfus court martial in order that
the Chamber may decide "whether
Mercier is to be proceeded against for
an unlawful act committed while he
was Minister of War.
Our Troopj Exhausted Filipinos Worrying
Them.
Manila, June 6 The rebels on Saturn
day night made an attack upon the
town of Macabebe and, after driving
the inhabitants out, burned the town.
The insurgents nightly annoy the
troops at San Fernando. Several
Americans have been slightly wounded
recently. The enemy hai?e several
Krupp guns, which they bring forward
and use for firing large shells into the
town, when retreating with their guns.
One of insurgent shells fired withfn
thirty yards of General McArthur's
headquarters Saturday evening. The
American troops do not reply to the
nightly outbreaks.
The American forces have occupied
the peninswla, and General Hall's col
umn is encamped at Morong' Major
Truman, marching across from Dinan
gonana, found it impracticable to form
a cordon, and the insurgents, with the
exception of a hundred or two,escaped
through the mountains after General
Pio del Pitar, dragging their battery by
buffaloes at night. A few, however,
may be trapped.
The Washington troops have re
turned to Pasig, hut th progress of the
other troops is uncertain.
The present expedition shows the
difficulty which is encountered by an
army which must depend upon wagon
trains in catching barefooted bandits
in their own mountains, and also gives
proof that the rebels do not intend to
fight battles.
General Hall left Santa Teresa yes
terday morning and marched twelve
miles to Morong, up and down rocky
hills and through woods and swamps.
Scores of his men fell out, owing to the
extreme heat and were left to follow as
best they could. The head of the army
arrived at Morong a noon, having
exchanged only a few shots with insur
gent skirmishers on the way. Groups
of stragglers followed all day, but the
force was 200 smaller than when it start
ed. The men were almost thirty-six
hours without rations and it was con
siderable of an achievement for them
to cover the ground they did.
En route to Morong the Americans
met flocks of Philippinos under flags of
truce, many of them young men with
the bearing of soldier. Many dis
carded uniforms were found in the
houses, apparently those ot soldiere
who had escaped by changing their
costumes from "insurrecto" to
Vamigo," and walking boldly past the
army, which had expected to crral
them. Few were found about Morong.
L Une member of the Washington reg
iment was killed and two were wound
ed in the encounter with the outposts
General Lawton, on board a gun
boat searching the coast for Major
Truman, stopped at Binangonana, op
posite Morong. The natives immedi
ately ran up a flag of truce, and.a
delegation i canoes put off and greet
ed the Americans with the usual pro
testatiens of friendship.
'he Second Oregon volunteer regi
ment has returned to barracks in Ma
nila and is preparing to return to the
United States. The order to sail in a
fevv days will shortly be issued. The
First California regiment will be re
lieved by a regiment of regu ars at an
early date and will follow the Orego
nians. It is intended to send the First
Colorado and the First Nebraska regi
ments next.
will call are still undecided, but it is
probable that stops will made at
Singapore and Col umbo. The ad
miral seems anxious to avoid all dis
play and merely to seek rest. His of
ficeis and crew are elated at the pros
pect of a return home.'
