Y Care of the Philippine Leader. The

Accept Our Terms.

Manila, Aug. 22.—General Anderson
has been sent to Cavirte, having been
detached from his command. I—lis
principal bu'smess will be to handle
Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader. The
insurgents are a little ugly. Several
hundred of them have deserted and are
Intrying to enter the city. Aguinaldu
holds*‘the water works and has cut off
the supply. The city is in great need
of water. Aguinaldo has promised to
open the works conditionally. . /

He has made eight demands on tho.-
Americans, as follows:

First~~That the Filipinos withdraw
only to certain limits.

Second—That they retain certain city
convents.

Third—That the Americans
only the city.

Fourth—That General Merritt con»
suit with him regarding the civil ap-
poin-tments.

Fifth—That the. Filipinos have the
right to enter the river and harbor.

Sixth—That the Americans return the
Filipinos’ arms.

control

Seventh—That the Americans be con-

fined to the city.

Eighth—That the Filipinos have the.
right to enter the city armed.

General Merritt sent a verbal reply

yesterday to these demands, but Aguin—
aldo was away. The messenger re»
turned _to—day.
' There have been a few slight disturb—
ances in the city, but they were incon-
sequential. Confide-nce is returning.
The shops are open and business is re-
viving. '

The greatest interest is manifested
in the ultimate disposition of the is-
lands. Englishmen who are in business
here are anxious for the Americans
to hold the whole group, and many Spa-
niards believe that this would be the
best solution of [the problem. They say
that business will be impossible under
the conditions that-formerly prevailed
here, and that the Filipinos would not
be able to establish or maintain-ta gov-
ernment. Aguin-aldo represents only a
small faction of the natives, and trou—
ble would surely follow if he had con-
trol.
Americans give the islands back to
Spain or hand them over to the Fili-
pinos, they will have to quit.

 

Washington, Aug. 23.—-The statement
can be made with assurance that the
United States government will not yield
a hair’s breadth in its firm policy in the
Philippine islands as a. result of the ex—
tensive claims put forward by the in-
surgent chief Aguinaldo. The Manila.
dispatch yesterday which announced
fully the propositions made Ito General
Merritt by Aguinai-do, gave the ad-
ministration its first complete knowl—
edge of the situation up to date, and
the president, Secretary Alger and Gen
Corbin discussed the contents of the
dispatch at their informal conference
at the White House. '

General Corbin refused to discuss the
matter in detail, but he made some sig-
nificant statements which would indi-
cate the general policy 'of President
McKinley and the administration lead—
ers.

"I-think the instructions recently sent
to General Merritt cover this emergen—~
cy fully. Merritt has dealt with the
conditions wisely. No new instructions
are necessary or will be sent.”

General Corbin made these statements
in answer to two or three specific ques-
tions. and further't'hvan this he would
say nothing.

The policy of the government is un-
mistakably to ignore, Aguinald‘o en-r
tirely so long as he makes no hostile
demonstrations. It is equally certain
that the American military commander,
acting under instructions from Wash-
ington. will not hesitate to repel the
insurgents by force of arms should it
become necessary to do so in order to
carry out the government’s declared
policy of the letter. '

 

Gets No Despatches from Manila,

Madrid, Aug. 23.—Lie-utenant General
Correva, minister of war, has received
a cable dispatch from General Jaudenes
dated August 20, in which he refers to
four dispatches giving details of the
fighting at Manila and the surrender.
These have not been received. It is
supposed that the Americans have in-
tercepted them.

General Jaudenes says he has not re—
ceived the. government’s formal an—
nouncement of the signing of the pro-
tocol; and he asserts that the insur-
gents continue hostilities against the
Spani-ards. '

The English declare thatif the '

General Correa immediately cabled a.

request for details of the surrender.

Sampson in ‘Vashington.

Washington, D. G, Aug. 22.——A-dmiral
Sampson arrived in Washington this
afternoon and visited “the war depart—
ment shortly before 4 o’clock: ‘

He had a short conference With Act-
ing Secretary Allen and Captain 'Crow-
ninshield. He left the war department
at 1.10 o’clock for the White House.

 

 

Capt. Mills’s Appointment.

W's-s‘hington, Aug. 22.-—-Calptain Albert
L. Mills, who has been made the new
superintendent at ’West Point, was
graduated from the United States Mil~
itary Academy in 1879.

In the charge at San Juan 'hill Cap-
tain Mills was shot through the head,
and it was thought had suffered a fatal
wound. He did last the sight of one
eye. .

Gen. Merriam is to Band Barracks an
' Hospitals and Survey the Harbor.
San Francisco, Aug. 23.—Important
work lies before Major Ge_neral__3\derri-
am in Hawaii. .
General Merriam, with his staff and
about 1,300 troops, left here yesterday
on the, trapsport Arizona, for Manila,
via Honolulu. The Scandia, with an-

part in a few days.

It is understood that General 'Mer-
riam carries with him plans and au-
thority to construct barracks and hos—
pitals for the troops at Honolulu, which
post is now attached to. the department
of the Pacific, of which he is the com-
manding officer. _'

The hospital at Honolulu is .to cost;
with its site, $35,000. Barracks for at
least 1,300 troops are also to be erected
at ‘Honolulu. The First New York
regiment, consisting 'of 1,300 men and
300 of the Second regiment of volunteer
engineers, have been sent from here
as the United States first garrison on
the island. This force will be increas-
ed by the enlistment of a battalion of
four hundred men from the Hawaiian
military.

General Merriam has authority to
spend $190,000 for the erection of these
barracks. Officer-5’ quarters at Hono-
lulu are alsoto be built, and it is un-
derstood that General Merriam ‘has the
power 'to spend $58,000 for that pur-
Residences for forty-four officers
are to be purchased. '

One of the most exacting duties with
which General Merriam is intrusted is
the survey of the harbor of Honolulu,
and a report as to the best means of
fortifying. He has with him three
competent engineers who will have im-
mediate charge of that work. _- -._

Oregon and Iowa at the Navy Yard.

New York, Aug. 23.—T‘he battleships
regon and Iowa are now moore} _at
the piers at the Brooklyn navy yard.
They left the Tompkinsville, S. 1. na-
val rendezvous, where they had been
anchored with the remainder of Admi-
ral Sampson’s victorious Santiago fleet
since their arrival Saturday, yesterday
morning, and 'Were made fast at, the
government naval station about noon.

navy yard, leaving there at 11.40 o’clock
and the Iowa followed shortly after and
was berthed at 12.10 o’clock. \Bo'th ves-
sels are to be dry docked and will un-
dergo extensive repairs and a general
Mauling that will keep them at the
navy yard for several weeks.

The two battle-ships were given such
an enthusiastic greeting during their
trip up' the East “river that it was in
miniature a repetition of the memora-
ble naval parade of Saturday.

 

More Ships Comzng Here.

W'ashington, Aug. 23.—Orders have
been issued by the navy department
which will prevent the assemblage of
any large fleet at Hampton Roads. The
large warships will be sent to New
Yorkia'nd Boston and torpedo boats to

The only ships to remain at Fortress
Monroe are auxiliary cruisers and «bugs.
These orders were issued owing to com-
plaints of steamboat companies that
a large fleet in the harbor at Hampton
Roads would interfere seriously with
navigation.

Peace Commission ”to Be Named
This Week.

PLANS Ar - WASHINGTON

 

Possibility That Only Three Will Be Ap-
pointed. Desire to Have a Roman Ca-
- ‘tholic. Aguinaldc’: Demands. Assistant

Secretary of the State “’11! Resign

.. When Day Leaves.
”Washington, Aug. 23.——The expecta-

tion in official circles is that the peace
commission will be appointed this week.
The protocol limits the number of com-
missioners to five, ,but does not positive-
ly require that quota. The president
may conclude to cut it down to three
members, in which case he would haVe
only one more—presumptively a Demo-
crat—to add to the members Day and
Davis. If the‘ right third man were
chosen this trio would make a stronger
combination and command more thor-
oughly the. confidence of the , public
than a big commission made up for the
most part of nobodies. In case five: .15
retained as the number of commission-

ers, Senator Spooner still stands con»

spicuously in the procra'mme as a pro-
liability. sis-e .

As to the .u-«n ran widen-t would
like to have at least one Rom-an Cath-
olic of prominence on the commission,
a fact which has caused Archbishop
Ireland’s name to be extensively can-
vassed, but it is generally believed that
the pope would object to a prelate’s
acceptance of such a service, in View
of the political character, and the pos~
sibility that Eyropean international re-
lations may become seriously compli-
cated with the Philippine problem. The
desire for a-Roman Catholic on our
side of the commission is due to the
large interest of the church in the Phil-
ippine settlement. A turn may be
given to the discussions of the joint
commission, when it would help matc-
rially in reaching an understanding, if
there could be no charge lodged against
our commissioners as a body wholly
cult of sympathy with the religious as-
pects of the situation.

Thesuggestion of Associate Justice
White of the supreme court, as a mem—
ber of the commission, is due to his be-‘
in-g both a Catholic and an expert in
Roman law. It is generally believed
here that if he is willing he can have
the appointment.

The demands of Aguinaldo present
the main question before the authori-
ties to—dayf Nothing is vouchsa'fed
from the war department or the White
House on the subject, but it is under—
stood that General Merritt and Admiral
Dewey have been advised of a policy
which recognizes in no degree the
claims of the insurgent leaders. Aguin-
aldo’s attitude has not surprised the
authorities here. There have been
many indications M In “if-assertive
disposition.

The sentiment in" the war and navy
departments is expressed in the imp-1-
tienoe which is mostly call-ed forth by
the action of the insurgents. To some
of the army officers of cynical bent, the
developments among the insurgents in
Cuba and those in the Philippines have
appeared as the irony of fate-«that
those for whose manifest benefit the
war with Spain has been waged, should
be found in a position which makes it
necessary for this government ‘to turn
against them, or, as one of these offi—
cers said this morning, “join with Spain
our enemy, in repressing this rebel-
lion.”

The board ror rme examination of
civil engineers for the navy, which will
meet in this city on September 6, will
be composed of Civil Engineers Max-
son, Parks and Gregory. Attention is
attracted to this board by the fact that
the two minor members have been ap-
pointed to the corps within a year. The
recorder, who is merely a secretary,
and has no power, is Ensign Cunning-
ham of the volunteer navy, who in civ-

 

uni.-

, i1 life is a steel expert and a well known

engineer. . _

Professor John Basset-t Moore, as-
sistant secretary of state, will resign
his place when Secretary Day assumes
his duties as head of the Paris peace
commission. Professor Moore will take.
the position of legal counsel and secre-
tary of the commission, an office hard-
ly second in m-w'me to thve'commis-
sion itself.

It will be remembered that Professor
Moore left his chair as professor of in-
ternational law, at Columbia univer-
sity, New York city, to become Secre-
tary Day’s assistant, when the latter
succeeded Mr. Sher-man, retiréd. It is
stated that the professor’s chair will
be held open for 'him until his return
from service with the commission.
There will be a large staff of attaches
and clerks with the commission. Prob-
ably 500 applications have already been
made and among them possibly 300
“sons of.-their fathers.”

It is said by parties in a position to
know that when Ambassador Hay suc-
ceeds Mr. Day, W. WV. Rockhill, who
was with Mr. Hay before, and is now
United States minister to Greece, will
return to succeed Professor Moore.
Mrs. Rockhill died last month and her
husband has been given a sixty days'
leave of absence. He is'a. fine linguist,
with a knowledge of Oriental languages
especially Chinese. afid it is held that
he will be particularly'vaiuable in con-
nection with the rnaittersl relating to out~

His Revenge.

A ' writer tells the following story
of schoolboy coolness and pluck, and
states that it is founded on fact.
“Youfre a coward!” A sentence calcu-
lated to make any English schoolboy
clench his fists and promptly endeavor
to make his accuser prove or eat his
words. “Yes, of course you are, or

of the party that upset old Mother
Tuck’s ca ~;” and Dan Isaacs, the
bully of the school, scowled at the
delicate-looking, slim lad, who stood
quietly, if nervously, before him in the
cricket ground._ .

. “Perhaps I am,” was the reply, “but
then I did not pocket any of the old
woman’s apples afterwards,” and
Dicky Ford grew bolder as he went
on: “No, a spree is one thing, but to
rob a poor apple woman is very dif-
ferent.”

“I’ll knock your young head off, if
you say that again,” roared Dan,
crimson with rage and the knowledge
of his meanness, which he thought
had not been seenby any of the other
boys.

But Dicky, lighter of foot than his
persecutor,‘ had scudded off to the
other end of the field.

Presently there was a noise of men
and women shouting and screaming in
the road close by, and every boy ran
to the low wall that bounded the
cricket field. Down the road at a ter-
rific pace came a mad bull, followed
by scores of men and boys at a re-
spectful distance. ‘ '

\

tracted its attention, and with a be!-
low it turned on them, tearing head-
long at the wall with a mad bound. . 0f

tions as the animal half fell, half

ti its feet, stood for a second before
charging the fleeing crowd.

Nobody in the hurry had noticed that
Dan Isaacs had sprained his ankle as
he jumped from the wall, and was
trying painfully to escape the notice
of the bull by crawling into the shel-
ter of the little clump of trees in the
corner of the cricket ground.‘ ‘

Suddenly, the furious beast caught
sight of him, and with a fierce bellow
turned on him. Poor Dan, nearly dead
with fright and pain, just managed
to elude the mad rush by the aid of a
friendly tree, but a few minutes of

dodging fired him out, and he screamed

for help, while the men and boys
seemed purinjx'z-cd and unable lo sug—
gest any means of diverting. the bull’s
attention.

Then they all held their breath in
fright, as little Dickie, with a shout,
burst to the front, dribbling before him
a football right. up to the bull.

“Come back, come back!” they cried,
“you’ll be killed!”

But ~Dicky was no coward now.
With a firm kick he sent the ball slap
in the face of the bull as he was on
the point of tossing the now fagged-
out Dan.

Staggered by the sudden sting of the
ball the beast in its blind-rage turned
to follow the football as it rebounded
from its head, seeing in it a new en-
emy, and, butting at it fiercely, was
soon at the other end of the field,
while the , boys helped the badly
frightened Dan over the wall and hur-
ried over themselves as two men with
rifles made their appearance.

Stopping for a while to take breath
the bull glared around. him as if on
certain what to do next. He had not
much time for decision, however, as
two reports rang out heavily'on the
air, and the bull fell headlong, rose
with a roar of pain and anger, and
then, as another shot echoed against
the school walls, fell again, with a
thud, this time with a bullet through
his heart.

”mime cheers for Dich Ford!”
shouted the boys, as they gathered
round the dead beast. And they gave
them, too, with a will, while Dan,
with tears in his eyes, in broken tones
begged Dick’s pardon for calling him.
a coward. ‘

“Fancy going for a hull with a foot-
ball!” they all cried; “why, nobody
but Dicky would have thoughtlof such
a. thing.” -- , ’

“I don’t know why I did it,” said
Dick, blushing at the enthusiastic
greetings of the other boys; “but I
just thought perhaps a kick at the bull,
-with a football might take his atten-
tion away from Dan.” ,

“Hurrah fer Ezcky .Fordl” they all
shouted again; anl'Dick‘y couldn’t help
thinking that he had bad,.after all,
