A Paris cable to The Tribune reports the cabinet voted to place all French colonies under civil authority, abolishing military administration. The reform follows reports of cruelty by military rulers and is pushed by M. DeCrais, minister of colonies. Other items note an insurgent attack repulsed near the Angeles line with six enlisted men wounded and a yacht race postponed due to fog and light wind in New York.
