DEWEY To BE AT ITS"HEAD 1,
Gen. Otis, Prof. échurman, Col. Deuby and
Gen. “'hittier Also Asked to Serve—
l’rnf. Shurmzui Called to “'ashington by
the President.
11.111511111111011, D. 0., Jan. 16.--Presi-
dent. McKinley has decided to send a
‘commission to the Philippines to make
a thorough study of the situation and
advise him as to what the policy of the
United States should be regarding
those islands. He has asked these gen—
tlemen to serve on the commission:
Rear Admiral Dewey, commander-
in—chief of the Asiatic squadron.
Major General E. S. Otis, military
governor of the-Philippines.
Professor J. G. Schurman, president
of Cornell University.
Colonel Challes Denby, f01mer min-
isl or to China, and now. a member of
the war investigation commission.
Brigadier General Charles B. Whit-
tier of: New York, recently on duty at
Manila.
Admiral Dewey will be president of
the commission.
It is now only a question as to whet-
her or not the gentlemen. named will
consent to serve, and'as to the date
when the commission will start for the
Philippines.
The fact that Professor Schurman
has been summoned to Washington to
confer with the president indicates that
Mr. McKinley contemplates appoint-
ing the commission immediately, al—
though there is a probability that he
may wait for the ratification of the
peace treaty.
The president desires not only Pro-
fessor Schurman’s views regarding the
future attitude of this country toward
the Philippines, but advice as to the
phases of the question that ought to be
considered by acommission. Should
he consent to serve, there will be lit-
tle difficulty in making up the rest of
the personnel of the commission, as all
of the other men named are thoroughly
familiar and interested in the subject. ,
and will doubtless be glad to accept the
service.
The entire administration 'takes it
for granted that the present Senate will
ratify the pending treaty of peace.
W'hcn this is done Congress will natu-
rally look to the president to outline
a policy of some kind for the future
control of the Philippines
Thus far the president ‘has‘refused
to commit himself officially any fur-
ther than to urge the ratification of the
treaty, which will give the United
"‘"ztcs complete sovereignty over the
is reds, and to favor military control
until the situation can be studied.
President McKinley is not averse to
the Filipinos having independence if
it can be proved that they are capable
of maintaining it.
He 'is not averse to accepting all re-
sponsibility of maintaining sovereignty
andrcontrol of the Philippines perma-
nently. But he wants to be sure of his
ground before taking any definite
stand.
it is believed that the determination
to appoint a commission will have u
gocd‘cffeclt on the situation in the Sen-
ate. "
Those senators who have been dis-
posed to oppose the treaty on the
ground that the president had been
given no advice as to the future con-
trol and disposition of the islands will
see that he has determined to obtain
all the facts through the medium of
a non—partisan commission composed
of competent men before making any
recommendations.
Dex-visilcs Defeat Egyptians.
London. Jan. 16.-—The Morning Lea-
cer publishes the following dispatch
from Cairo:
"Rumors are in circulation here that
on December 28 the Dervishes, under
Emir chil, on the Blue Nile, defeated
the Egyptian forces, the Tenth Sou~
danese battalion being entirely de-
stroyed. It is reported that reinforce-
ments are being hurried up to the
scene and that another battle is im-
m; 'nent.’
Accouli mg to a dispatch from Cairo
on Januaxy 5 Colonel Lewis, with a
Soudanese regiment, and a detachment
of ir1cgular troops, attacked Fedil, the
last remaining formidable Dervish
chief, while he was crossing the Blue
Nile, on December 26, at the cataract
south of Roseiro, storming the island
on which Fedil took up his position
and capturing fifteen hundred Der-
vishes. Fedil, however, escaped with
three hundred followers.
Spanish Islands for Sale.
Madrid, Jan. 16.--The government, on
the reassembling of the Cortes, will
immediately ask; says La Reforms,
authority to sell the Marianne, (Lad-
l‘ones,) Caroline, and the Pelew or
Palau islands, since Spain is pOWerless
to maintain .a sufficient force to de-
fend them.
The government arrived «at this de-
cision in consequence of advices from
General Rios that an army of four
thousand men, a man of war and two
gunboats would be necessary for the
purpose. _ \

GOOD BYE TO THE‘ HORSE.
Two Companies Organized for the Use of
Compressed Air in New York.
New York, Jan. 16.——In thirty days
the beginning of the end of the horse
will have arrived.
The Thirty—fourth street cross town
line will have done away with him by
that time. As soon thereafter as pos-
siblc, the Fourteenth. the Twenty—
cighth and Twenty—ninth streets, the
Chambers street and the Belt Line.
railroads will be using compressed air
motors, and in ninety days wagons run
by air motors will have started a
wholesale replacing of the horse in the
trucking business.
Back of the plans to doaway with
the horse and control the trucking
business in New York city and else—
where are two big companies, incorpo-
rated Saturday in Trenton N. J., with
a capital stock of $17,000,000. One com-
pany is to manufacture compressed air
motors, trucks, etc., the other is to op-
eralte them.
In the operating company are Rich-
ard Croker and other Tammany men.
who, it is said, will control the truck-
ing of New York city. Mr. Croker’s
company is the Auto—Truck Company.
..W’:ith the news of the incorporation
of the two companies came the an-
nouncement that Joseph Leiter, the
young man who made the Chicag
wheat corner, is back of the Intel na-
tional Air owe-r Company.
Gen.’ Sanguily in’a Hull'.
Havana, Jan.'16.—-General Julio San-
accompanied by four aids, has
sailed for Tampa, Fla, whence he pur—
poses to proceed to W’ashington to
protest against the attitude assumed
toward him by Major General Ludlow,
militaiy gov elnor of Ha1ana.
Genelal Sanguilly called upon Major
Genelal Blocke, governor general of
Cuba. and for the first time gave his
version of the Albisu theatre affair.
He showed General Brooke General
Ludlow’s letter ordering him (Sanguil-
1y) to stay out of the city and not to
wear his uniform.
Sangullly, who had not seen General
Ludlow, got a note of introduction to
him from General Brooke and sent it
to General Ludlow by a Cuban aid.
together with an inquiry as to when
it would be convenient for General
Ludlow to see him.
To this General Ludlow replied thai‘
he could not see Sanguilly, and the Cu—
ban, before leaving here for Tampa.
wrote to the governor general a full
statement of the case. General San—
guilly considers that the Cuban army
has been insulted in his person.
Pllyne to be House Leader.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 16.--Thc.
death of Chairman Dingley of the ways
and means committee makes a New
York man, Screno Payne, the leader
of the Republicans on the floor of the
House of Representatives and the
chairman of the great ways and means
committee of Congress.
It will be remembered that Mr. Payne
was the ranking member of the com-
mittee when the present Congress was
organized and that Mr. Dingley’s se-
lection by Speaker Reed was some-
what resented by the friends of the.
New York man. Mr. Payne, however,
made no protest against the selection
and has always kept up the friendliest
relations with the speaker.
Mr. Payne’s elevation to the chair-
manship of the ways and means com-
mittee will necessitate his retirement
from the chairmanship of the commit.
tee on merchant marine and fisheries
which he now holds.
Many Starving in Havana.
Havana, Jan. 16.--Captain Greble,
General Ludlow's adjutant, found 30
families in one tenement, most of them
absolutely without food, the children
naked and many of them sick.
The patrols report hundreds of cases
of destitutlon, all of which will be re,-
lieved by the systematic distribution
of rations by the authorities.
The rations as issued consist of eight
ounces of bacon, twelve ounces of flour
and meal, with coffee and sugar. It
'is possible, however, that a. ration of
rice, beans and vegetables may be sub-
stitutcd.

Belief That VerdiCt Will be That Dreyfus
-Was Not Proved Guilty.
Paris, Jan. 16.--The termination of
the inquiry into the Dreyfus case by
the court of cassation is expected any
moment.
The Matin and the Gaulois express
,beliefthat the verdict will be that a
traitor existed, but that it was not
proved that the traitor was Dreyfus,
who will consequently be sent to an—
other court martial for trial.
The Matin says that Dreyfus be-
lieves that the revision of his case was
due to the exerflions’ of the general
staff a? ..d that he has even thanked
General de Boisdeffre. and his former
comrades in the army for their efforts
in his behalf. . .
M. de Beaurepaire, writing to the
Echo de.Paris,_, expresses the opinion
that Thursday's debate in the Chamber
of Deputies renders it impossible for
the-court of cassation to ,proclaim
Dreyfus innocent.
The court of CIaSSation has again ex—
amined ex—Lieutenant Colonel du Paty
de Clam.
It is stated that the court' will be
.asked _on January 17 to give a decision
upon the question whether Colonel
P-icquart- shall be held under civil or
military jurisdiction. ‘
Launch Lost 'in the Gulf.
Louisville, Ky.. Jan. 16.——Lawrence
Jones, the distiller, has become con~
vinced that his naphtha launch Paul
Jones has been lost in the Gulf of
Mexico, and that all on board dwero
lost.
On the launch were Colonel Harn-
Yocum of St. Louis, and Miss Flmence
Yoc um, his daughter; Miss Marjorie
Woodland of 335 Oakland Boulevaid,
Chicago; Miss Florence Taggart, the
daughter of Mayor Tagg‘art of Indian--
apolis, and a crew of four men, one
of whom was oseph Brinkman of Lou—
isville. '
The launch, loaned by Mr. Jones to
Colonel Yocum, left Louisville early in
December for a trip to Florida. The
launch, which was yacht rigged, left
N911 Orleans for Pensacola Januaiy 3,
since which time no tidings have been
received.
Mr. Jones has exhausted every re-
source to obtain news. Every gulf
port has been notified and every in-
coming vessel met with inquiries.
A yacht has been chartered by Mr.
Jones at one hundred dollars a. day to
cruise along the coast. Mr. Jones says
.that he has given up all hope although
the search is still going on.
The launch cost $18,000. It was sixty-
fivc feet long and ten feet beam, and
had a speedof twelve miles an hour.
It had three lavishly‘ furnished state
rooms, hot and cold baths and an elec-
tric light plant.
Largest Steamship Afloat.
Belfast, Ire., Jan. 16.--The new White
Star line steamship Oceanic, the larg-
est vessel of that company’s fleet, was
successfully launched here Saturday
afternoon.
The Oceanic was built for comfort.
and regularity rather. than for speed.
The ship‘s lines are perfect, but her
engines are not powerful enough to
constitute. her a racer. Still, it is not
likely that she will be much behind the
record.
. The Oceanic is now the biggest yes—-
sel in existence, and the longest ever
built. She was exceeded in size by
only one ship that ever was launched.
and that was the Great Eastern. She
exceeds the-Great Eastern in length
by twenty-four feet, but is neither so
wide nor so deep.
Successor to Diugley.
Augusta, Me., Jan. 16.——The general
opinion among politicians is that Chas.
E. Littlefield of Rockland will be the
of the late Mr.
the representative from
Maine Congress district.
Mn. Littlefield has been a membei
of the legislature and 119.5 attorney
general of the state for four years. He

Aguinaldo's Spanish Prisoners,
\Vashington, D. 0., Jan. 16. «The
Spanish government has again called
the attention of the United States gov-
ernment to the provision of the treaty
of peace that the United States will
use its efforts to secure the release of
Spanish subjects who are held as pris-
oners by -.guinaldo’s forces in the
Philippines, and has asked what has.
been done to comply 111th that agree-
ment.
A reply has been sent to Spain that
this government is doing all that can
be done to secure their release
This is the second inquiry of the
kind made by Spain. Owing to the at-
titude of Aguinaldo it is impossible. to
secure the release of the Spaniards
held by his troops, but Major General
Otis is not relaxing his efforts to carry
out the instinctions of the war de-
partment to make every endeavor to'
have the prisoners rc-eased.
