Forced Into Maioios Demonstra- tion fby Hotheadsr Anxious to: Have .1 Amer-man Policy Defined. All Parties Are Awaiting the Result. Manila, Oct. 3.-—No change has been made in the situation here by Aguin- aldo’s Malolos demonstration. All par- ties are still awaiting the result of the Paris conference to determine the fut- ure of the islands. Even if a delegation from the dicta- tor does wait upon General Otis and offer him the protectorate over the new “republic” it is not likely the veteran commander will commit himself. Aguinaldo has been forced into ac- tion by hot heads desirous of securing from the Americans some indication of the probable _- policy of the United States. The dictatorpresident does not occupy a very firm seat, and unless some definite result to his actions can be shOWn soon he realizes that his own life will be endangered. 4 The Americans are settling down for a. long occupation of the city of Manila. Several wives of officers arrived on the izona. Great mortality continues among the Spanish prisoners in the walled city, despite the fact that the whole place' is copiously sprinkled with disinfec- tants, the American sanitary corps making the most strenuous efforts to cleanse the place before the unhealthy season, now just opening, gets into full swing. Private Edward J. O’Neil of Com- pany E, First California volunteers, 'was not killed before Manila, as was reported. The man is still alive. By order of Provost Marshal General Hughes every official of the Manila penitentiary was arrested Saturday. General Hughes declines to make the specific. charges public, but the men are suspected of peculation and of using their office against the American in- terests here. .un—wl— Aguinaldo’s Speech. Manila, Oct. 3.——-There is considerable comment here upon Aguinaldo’s speech at Malolos on Thursday. During the course of his remarks Aguinaldo said: “Our friends the Americans came for the purpose of demonstrating the gen- erosity and grandeur of their govern— ment and to assist in releasing the peo- ple from slavery without annexing the islands, thus setting a good example. We now understand and appreciate the famous Monroe doctrine of ‘America for Americans,’ and justice demands that they add ‘the Philippines for the 9 9! .ar The insurgent officials express_disap- pointment at the non—attendance of Americans at the festival of Malolos. The provincial government has de- clined to allow an American officer to inspect the Dagupan prisons and secure their plans without Aguinaldo’s sanc- tion. The half caste interpreter used Aguinaldo instructed his troops at the railroad stations beyond Malolos not to allow any Americans to pass. Mothers Congress at Utica Utica, N. Y., Oct. 3.—The New York State Congress of mothers, held here last week, adjourned Saturday after a harmonious and pleasant session. The name was changed, and hereafter the organization will be known as the As- sociation of Mothers. Many valuable and instructive papers were read. The work of the congress is to be devoted to urging. upon the mothers of the state the necessity of» inquiring into the conditions surround- ing the school life of their children and recOmmending a personal interest in ‘the teachers under whose care the chil- dren were placed, and to securing ade- quate instruction of girls in the duties of motherhood. Officers were elected as follows: President, Mrs. D. O. Mears of Al- bany; first vice president, Mrs. J. Cal- vin Meade of Oswego; second vice pres- ident, Mrs. E.H. Merrill of Syracuse; recording secretary, Mrs. Almon Hens- ley of New York; corresponding secre- tary, Mrs. Franklin H. Chase of Syra- cuse; treasurer, Mrs. Fannie Bailey of Syracuse. About one hundred delegates were in attendance. Filipinos at. White House Washington, Oct. 3.—The inteEFxTiEW of the Filipinos delegates with the ~president was Saturday entirely infor- mal, it being distinctly understood that tthe administration did no receive the representatives of the insurgents in any official character. General F. V. Greene, who came from the Philippines with them, was present throughout the interview. I 'While the Filipinos refused to dis- cuss the interview, claiming it to have been to pay, their respects, it is pre- sumed they informally talked over their mission, which is to secure repre~ sentation on the Paris commission, if possible, if not, then to be heard by the commission as to the attitude and wishes of the insurgents. Assistant Secretary of State Adee was present at the interview. Camps in Cuba. Washington, Oct. 3.—-The war del- Ipartment has decided to send boards of oflicers to Cuba to investigate and -report upon 10cations for camps for ‘the army of occupation in that island. Each board will consist of a quarte1- master, a commissary and a surgeon. Havana, Cienfuegos, Matanzas and Mariel will be visited. There will be five posts established, including Man- zanillo, and six counting Santiago.

SAGASTA TRUSTS. M’KiNLY Briana Believes; That the Conditions of Peace Will Not Be Onerous‘ Madrid, Oct. 3.—Many reports have been sent out stating that the Spanish government had lodged a. serious pro- test at Washington and ordered the Paris commission to stop negotiations, all on account of the course of events in the Philippines. There is no truth in all that. The Spanish government does not propose making. any reclamations whatever. Senor Sagasta says that by the protocol concluded at Washington, the United States engaged not to give assistance to the Lagalos, and hefeels sure that President McKinley will keep his word. In ministerial circles the spirit is optimistic. The talk is that the terms of peace will be less unfavorable to Spain than was anticipated; that the president will act in a generous spirit, and that Spain is not to be despoiled of the Philippines. Admiral Cervera presented himself to General Polavieja Saturday and has joined the latter’s political party for reform and pure government. The members of the chamber of com- merce of Barcelona have voted to pro- test against Senor Sagasta for not an- swering their urgent telegrams. 7 The Marquis de Camillas has gone to Paris"? to make arrangements for furth— er transports to ‘repatriate‘. the troops and not 'for- the purpose of negotiating a loan, as generally shpposed. The Imparcial says anything which _suggests'the continuation of the war This is ' should be rejected by Spain. said relative to the Philippines, which the leading papers of the country op— enly discuss the wisdom of relinquish- 1mg. LEE FAVORS MARIEL. Says It Should Be the First City in Cuba Occupied by Americans Washington, Oct. 3.—If. the recom- 'mendations of Major General Fitzhugh Lee are adopted the first landing of troops comprising the Cuban army of occupation will be at Mariel, twenty miles west of Havana. During his con- versation with Secretary Alger Satur— day General Lee was asked by the for- mer to state what city he thought should be first occupied by American soldiers. General Lee replied that 4Mariel would be an excellent point to start in with, as the health conditions there are better than at almost any other place on the island. Mariel is situated at the base of a ridge of mountains and is practically free from malaria and other fever. When the war department was out— lining the plan of campaign against Havana, early in the war, it was in- tended to capture this point and use it as a base of operations. It is now regarded as practically cer4—“ tain that when troops embark for Cu— ba they will sail for Marie] and that ' this is the first Spanish city to be cc- cupied by our soldiers.

Dr. Guilford was arrested by Inspec- tor Freese of Scotland Yard, who has been on her track ever since she land- ed at Liverpool from Montreal, on last Tuesday, from the steamer Vancouver. She was taken into custody at a mid- dle class boarding house in Hampstead, and gave'the name of McAllister, al- though on first arriving in London she declared her name was Catherine W‘ i1- bur. The prisoner was taken to the Bow street police court, where she was formally charged and remanded. She will be taken before a magistrate to—day. Porto Rico Ours by October 6 San Juan de Porto Rico, Oct. 3.——The Spanish transport Isla de Panay ar- rived here Saturday,,and a second tran- sport is expected to-day. These, with a hospital ship which will, come from Havana to remove a number of sick troops, will carry away about 3,590 Spanish soldiers. Suflicient vessels are said to be now on their way here to remove the re- mainder of the troops. It is Admiral Schley’s opinion that the evacuation by the Spaniards and the official delivery of the island to the American authorities will be complet- edby October 6. The Spaniards are'now engaged in perfecting the details of the evacua- tion and arranging for t. 1e transporta- tion of officials and their families back to Spain. New Camp Si tes Washington, Oct. 3.——Generai Schwan who has just returned to Washington, has made a report recommending that camps be located at these points: In Georgia, at Augusta, Macon, Ame- ricus, Albany and Atlanta. ' In South Carolina, at Columbia, Spar- tanburg and Grecnville. He recommends that in Alabama the camps at Anniston and 'Huntsville be retained. It is thought that Gen. Schwan’s rec- ommendations will be approved, as they are the result of a long and. ther- ough investigation of'the subject GRAVE CRISIS lN CHINA Reports of the Emperor’s Murder Confirmed. Horrible Details ——_——-1 PEKIN AMERICANS STONED «0 . Reported Suicide Turns Out to Have Been ‘ Horrible Assasiuntion. Executions were Balborous Torture. A Red Hot Iron Said to Have Been Run Through the Emperor’s Body. London, Oct. 3.—-A special dispatch from Shanghai says the announcement of the death of the emperor is con— firmed. The reports as to the means employed in his taking off differ. One story has it that he died by poi- son and another that death was caused by strangulation, while a third states that he was subjected to frightful tor- ture, a red hot iron being thrust through his bowels. A special dispatch from Shanghai says it was semi- -officially announced there that the emperor of China com~ mitted suicide on September 21. An earlier special dispatch from that place says telegrams furnished by the Taotai, or local governor, to a Chinese paper there, allege that the emperor committed suicide on September 21, af- ter Signing the decrees which placed the empress dowager at the head of af- fairs in China. This, it is added, is understood to mean that the emperor was assassinat- ed. All the English speaking secretaries and the principal membeds of the Chi- nese foreign oh'ce, it is further an- nounced, have been seized and banish- ed. The British foreign office Saturday received a dispatch from her majes- ty’s minister at Pekin saying that -l\l1‘. Mortimer, a members. of the Bxitish le- gation, on returning home with a lady was insulted and attacked by a mob, which stoned him and covered him with mud. Later in the day, the dispatch says,» some American missionaries were sim- ilarly attacked, as was the Chinese sec- retary of the United States legation. The latter’s ribs were broken. Sir Claude M. Macdonald, the Brit- ish minister at Pekin, reports that there is dangerous feeling abroad. Steps have been taken to call the at- tention of the Chinese government to these outrages. The chief interest here now centers on China, where it is the general opin- ion that the emperor has already been done to death by the empress dowager, who, it now appears, was once a. bar— maid in a Chinese liquor shop. The emperor is known to have lately shown leanings toward Christianity, and it was recently reported that he had burned the Confucian classics in the palace. The man who will now ascend the throne of China is Yin, a grandson of Prince Kung. He is a good looking, in- telligent young man of decidedly pro- foreign leanings. He is regarded by the Chinese as being the legitimate suc- _ cessor of the emperor’s predecessor. Englishmen who have met Yin de- clare he will not be a puppet like his predecessor. He has a stronger will, and, moreover, is not related to the empress dowager. A prominent resi— dent of Pekin, Dr. Dudgeon, who is perhaps the only foreigner who ever dined with Yin, asserts that the em- press dowager is not opposed to pro- gress. He adds that she was lespon- sible for the installation of electric lights in the palace and introduced a railroad and an electric launch into’ the palace grounds. She is also held to have favored other western ideas. It is now said that the diSmissal of Li Hung Chang, who was the ally of the empress dowager, and the strong pressure of Russia,1. which was alarmed at the probable results of the mission of the Marquis Ito to China, were the true causes of the Emperor’s deposi- tion. The time, however, has gone by for a continuance of the old 1egime. The Young China party will not rest satis- fied with the existing state of things. Kang Yuwei, the fugitive Cantonese reformer, is known as the modern sage of China. He is the leader of the re- form party and the originator of the society formed in opposition to the cus- tom of binding the feet of Chinese girls, which was organized in Canton with a membership of ten thousand. Kang’s daughter has never bound her feet and has published a treatise ag'ains foot binding. Note Circulation Increased. Washington, Oct. 3.——The monthly statement of the controller of the cur- rency shows that atthe close of busi— ness on September,30, 1898, the total circulation of national bank notes was 5235, 356,950, an- increase for the month of $8,178, 335, and an increase for the year of $4, 631, 459.

FITCH’S NEW: PLAY. A Strong Society Drama. Interpreted b! the Kelsey~Shanncn Combination. The Kelsey-Shannon Company are' presenting this season a new society drama by Clyde Fitch. entitled “The Math and the Flame.” The play tells an ingenious story, possessing sharp ' contrasts of emotion and comedy. It is said to be a striking as well as a delightful combination of the serious as well as lighter sides of American society life, mainly as it is observed in New York. It is a story of deep heart interest, brightened With delicate touches of comedy. EFFIE SHANNON. The story of the play...deals with a love affair of Marion Walton, the daughter of a supposedly wealthy New Yorker, and ' Edward Fletcher. The former is a rather serious young wo- man, who devotes herself to severe duties in life, even though she is very fond of the gay world of society. The latter is rich and handsome, but cer- tain events in his past have made him the subject of somewhat extensive un- pleasant gossip among society people. This very gossip in regard to his past attracts the interest of the young wo- man, ‘and she defends him against tho-Se who accuse him. She does not believe the Stories of his past, and thinks, at any rate, that she may re- form lIim. The beautifulmoth flutters 111 the flame. He- propomes to her and is accepted on the night ofthe fancy dress party in her father’s home, at which the guests dress in the pictur- esque costumes of the children in nur- sery tales, fiction, etc. This episode is said to have been suggested by the fa mous Beckwith party about a year or \W“ I In... \ §Qli l (3’. _.

In the midst of the festivities the father of the heroine, who is supposedly a wealthy man, kills himself in his own room to avoid the exposure which is threatened on the morrow for his mis- use of large sums of money which have been entrusted to him. Fletcher proves a friend in need to the family, and a year later leads Marion to the altar. The wedding is interrupted by a woman who accuses Fletcher of having wronged her in the past. The rest of the story is de- veloped on very powerful and original lines, and the interest is splendidly sustained to the very end in a very in— genious manner. A Matter of Words. Few men have been shrewder than Disraeli in detecting the subtle. hair- breadth distinctions which are made to pass muster as essential differences in matters of form or ceremony, says the Yogth’s Companion: In the days of the public worship regulation act in England Sir William Harcourt was invited to visit Lord Beaconsfield at Hughenden-Manor. On Sunday, states the London News, which prints the story, the young pol+ itician accompanied his host to the village church, and on the way thith- er was warned that some hints of tho high-church movement had penetrated even that sylvan fortitude. “My friend, the vicar.” said the lord of the manor, “will take what I call a collection and he calls an offertory, and afterward what I call a plate and he calls an aims-dish will be placed on what I call :1 table and he cals an altar.” ' Good As His Word. “Paw, didn’t you say that if ever a school teacher whipped a boy of yours there’ d be trouble?” “I did.” “Well, the teacher whipped me this afternoon and I wasnt doin’ nothin’ but throwin’ paper wads agin.’ the wall." “I never fail to keep a promise, my boy There’s going to be trouble.
