Asks Recognition of Spain.
Madrid, Jan. 24.--Pr.ernier Sagasta de«
clares that.Aguinaldo has made the
liberation of the Spanish prisoners in
the Philippine islands conditional upon
Spain recognizing the Philippine re-
public and allying herself thereto:
Aguinaldo, it is added, has similarly
demanded the Vatican’s recognition of
the Philippine republic.
Gen. Otis Heard From,
_ Washington, D. C., Jan. 24.--General
: Otis, commanding the military forces
i in the Philippines, has cabled the war
department as follows:
Manila, Jan. 21.
Construction hospital Nagasaki un-
necessary. Health of command good.
;51 Diseases successfully treated here, ex—
7 cept chronic bowel difficulty and rheu-
matism. Send number of such cases
by transport Zealandia to San Fran-

Agoncillo Becomes Defiant.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 24.--The Fil-
ipino junta in Washington now num-
bers five members. The three who left
Manila several weeks ago have arriv-
ed and taken up their headquarters
with Agoncillo and Lopez. They are
Jose Lozado, Juan Luna and Captain
Marti Burgos.
Agoncillo, thus reinforced, has grown
rather defiant, and has demanded of
Secretary Hay that he appoint a time
for him to see the president so that
he may present his credentials as am-
bassador.
. It is said that their next move will»
be to ask the United States to evacu-
ate the island and let Aguinaldo’s gov-
ernment take its place.
The state department, of course, has
paid no attention to these communi-
cations, nor will it, and certainly Sec-
retary of State Hay will make no ap-
pointment with the president to re~
eive Agoncillo in any official capac-
'ty. The junta has a lawyer here who
eems to be working with the opposi-
ion senators, and has laid the gniev-
nce of the Philippine junta before
enator Caffery. It is due to this that
enator Caffery introduced a resolution
ast Week in thé Senate asking the
resident to send to that body any
ommunication received by the state
epartment from the agent of the so-
‘alled republic.
The president has not complied with
his request, either.
The lately arrived Filipinos have a
cry exalted opinion of Aguinaldo and
is army. Captain Burgos said there
re thirty thousand Filipinos under
rms; that Spain could not have con-
uered them and he was sure that the
Inited States could not. He was c011—
dent that they would have won their
dependence from Spain had not the
nited States interfered.
“The only assistance Admiral Dew- -
1 ever gave us,’ ’said Captain Burgos,
vas to transport twenty-six Filipino
‘ cers from Hong Kong to Manila,
id to furnish General Agu'inaldo’s
en with one hundred and fifty stands
'arms from the arsenal at Ca-
te."
It is said that the, expenses of the
ilippine junta are being paid out of
9. four hundred thousand dollars that
-- _uinaldo' obtained from Spain on the ,
, cement to desert his followers and
ve the Philippine islands. '

J. V. QUARLES.
It was in the famous fight which
Senator Timothy HoWe made for re-
election that the name of Mr. Quarles
first figured. He had not been dream-
ed of as a. senatorial possibility at
that time. One morning a friend cast
a vote for him. Others followed on the
second ballot, and he came within two
or three votes of being elected senator,
although then barely above the requir-
ed senatorial age. .
The Samoan Trouble.
Washington, Jan. 24.-—Inquiries made
by the state department show that no
further advices can be expected from
Apia, Samoa, before the latter part of
next week.
This is based on the presumption
that the reports will come on the reg—
ular line of vessels that travels be-_
tween. Auckland and Apia, but, of
course, there is a possibility of some
private sailing craft making the trip
if events of sufficient importance to
demand an immediate report have ta-
ken place there since the last steamer
sailed.
By Friday or Saturday of this week
the British warship which recently left
W'ellington should arrive at Apia, and
thus make it possible for one of two
British vesse‘s which then will be in
port to be used for conveyance of ad~
vices to Aukland.
Return of Sick Soldiers.
Norfolk, Va., Jan. 24.--The army
transport Victoria, which lay in Hamp-
ton Roads all night, came up to Old
Point wharf yesterday and began dis-
charging the sick soldiers from Ponce
and Santiago, neaily two hundred in
number.
The regular army and volunteers
from Illinois, Ohio, Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania regiments were represen-
ted. Nearly all of the patients are
suffering from tropical fever, and the
condition of some is said to be criti~
cal.
The men “ere taken to the Josiah
Simpson Hospital in open trolley cars,
berths being arranged between the
seats. The trip north was without in-
cident and the ‘sick soldiers received
every attention.
President's Outing.
Washington D. C., Jan. 24.--President

Klondikers’ Winter Output.
Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 24.—-P. H. Heb—
be has arrived from Dawson and
brings news, that Dominion Creek has
just jumped into prominence as a gold
producer of the first rank. excelling
Bonanza and equalling Eldorado. Its
claims are not as rich as a. limited
number on Eldorado, but its length is
greater.
Dominion and Eldorado together will,
produce. afrom ten million dollars to
tweIVe million dollars at the spring

A conservative estimate puts the
winter output of the Klondike at thir.

Wanshlngton, D. C., Jan. 24.--It is
understood that the president has re-

leff, Mr. Wilkinson and _,Mr. Sharp,
three of the nine members of the board
of general appraisers at New York.
The officials here decline to make any
statement in regard to the matter, yet
there is reason to believe that want
of harmony in the board is one of the
causes of the president’s action.

To Help Administer Island Gov-
ernments.
AFFAIRS ARE COMPLICATED
To Operate Under the Direction of the
Secretary of War—The Collection and
Distributioi of Funds in Cuba—Gen.
Brook’s Protest.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 24.-—The sec—
retary of war has completed the or-
ganization of a colonial commission to'
undertake the administration here in
Washington of all matters of detail re-
specting the government of the terri-
tories acquired during the war, or oc-
cupied by the United States forces. The
commission will be composed of Gen-
eral Robert P. Kennedy of Bellefon-
taine, Ohio, Curtis Guild of Massachu-
setts and George W. Watkins of Grand
Rapids, Mich
Up to this time the secretary and as-
sistant secretaiy have . undertaken
themselves‘zto deal with the adminis-
tration of insular affairs, but the ques-
tions involved have become so numer-
ous and complicated that it has been
found absolutely necessary to call for
assistance.
This commission will deal with the
distribution of monies to be spent in‘
public improvements, and all of the
troublesome isSues that have arisen
and are likely to arise, in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines. The new
commission is to act entirely within the
powers conferred by the secretary of
war, and his sanction will be neces—
sary to give effect to any line of action
proposed by the commission.
General Brooke’s protest against the
continuation of collection of- taxes in
Cuba through the Spanish bank has
not yet reached the war department,
so that it has, not been possible to
reach any decision in the matter. The
officials are disposed to show all possi-
ble consideration for the feelings of the
Cubans in this matter, but there are
other considerations than those of sen-
timent involved, such, for instance, as
a due regard for economy, made nec-
essary by the fact that so heavy are
the requirements for the island in the
matter of public improvements and
maintenance and sanitation that all of
the funds derived from possible sour-
ces of taxation will not suffice to meet
them completely.
Therefore, one of the first considera-
tions to be taken into account by the
officials is the comparative cost of the
present tax collecting system and that
of an entirely new system acting under
dhect governmental authmlty.
'1 he latter would requhe the employ-
ment of a numbe1 of Cubans as tax
collectors, and from that consideration
might appeal strongly to the officials
here, who have been earnestly seeking
to give employment to as many of
these peopm as possible.
The department hasnot yet complet-
ed its plans for the allotment of funds
between the provinces of Cuba to be
used in public works. The situation in
Santiago has been noted with some
concern, but it is expected that as soon
as Major General Wood, the military
commander and governor of the pro-
vince, reaches Santiago. he will be
able to convince the people of~the wis-
dom and justice of the plans for the
distribution of the customs receipts
prepared by the government at Vl’ash—
ington.
Philippine Commission Plans,
Washington, D. C., Jan. 24.--Final
arrangements for the departure of
President Schurman and Professor
of the Philippine commis-
sion have been made, They will leave
New York to—morrow for Vancouver,
and sail on the steamship Empress of
China. ,
The state department has supplied
the commission with numerous publi-
cations regarding the Philippines. Sey-
eral large boxes containing books and
maps \\ e1e shipped to Vancouver yes.-
terday
Paymaster Sawyer of the army has
been assigned to the commission as
disbursing officer. The selection of a
secxetary to the commission will not
be made U11 til all the members arrive
at Manila.
E. XV. Harden of Chicago received
an offer of-the appointment, but de-
clined.
It is probable that the commission
will secure the services of some prom-
inent lesident of the Philippines.
Colonel Denb'y expects to leave for
Manila in about ten days. He,will be
accompanied by his son.

AGUINALDO’S NEW‘ ENVOYS.
Men S: nt to Establish a J unto Art-ho at ,
\Vashington.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 23.--Dr. Jose
Lozado, Senor Juan, Luna and Cap-
tain Marti Burgos, the Filipinos corn-
missioned by Aguinaldo to establish 3,
Filipino junta here, ai‘rived in Wash-
ington, Saturday. They are all men of
good appearance. All three are na-
tives of Manila, but were educated in
’ Europe.
Dr. Lozado, is a physician and pro-
fessor of medicine in the only college
in thePhilippine islands. Senor Luna
is one of the leading literary men of
the islands and is a painter and a poet. p
Captain Ifurgos is the only one‘of the
trio he speaks English fluently. He
is a. nephew of Bishop Burgos, who was
shot by the Spaniards
when, at the beginning of the Philip—
pine revolt, he espoused the cause of
the Filipinos and aided in the prepa-
rations for war.
Concerning their mission to Wash-
ington Dr- Lozada said:
“We have come here as the repre—
sentatives of the Philippine govern-
ment. of which General Amilo Aguin-
aldo is president. We are here under
sealed orders from our president to
Senor Agoncillo, who is the ambassa-
dor and plenipoten-tiary to the United
States. We will place ourselyes under
his direction for the single. purpose of
securing the recognition of the Philip-
pine government by the United States.‘
How such recognition will be brought
about, of course, I am not at present
able to State, although We have out-
lined a plan of action and will begin
work ‘at once, always, of course, in :1
diplomatic manner. Much will depend
upon the ratification. or rejection of
the peace treaty now before your Sen-n
ate or its possible amendment. As
yet. the American government has not
defined its policy toward the Philip-
pine islands, but it is our aim to' se-
cure absolute independence, to which
we are justly entitled, as much and
even more 'so than the United States
were from Great Britain."
Asked what the Filipinos under Ag—
uinaldo would do if the American,for—
ces now before the city attempted to
land, Dr. Lozada Said it had been a
month since his departure from the
Philippines and he did not feel at li1b~
erty to express an opinion on the sub--
ject.
“The Filipinos,” he continued, “have
more than forty thousand arms in the
islands and plenty _of ammunition.
Most of these guns, as well as the am-
munition. in fact practically all, was
captured from the Spaniards and sur-l
rendered bv them to us. .We have not
had to purchase munitiOns of war. The
Viscayas have united under the com-
mand of President Aguinaldo, and
their representatives, as well as those
of the island of Mindanao, have asked
to be admitted to the Filipino confed-
eration, so that the authority of the
Filipino government extends over the
entire islands. with the exception of
the city of Manila.
lisl1ed courts of justice. something
which was practically unknown before
in the'islands, and in every way we
have shown to not only the United
States, but to the whole world, our
capacity and ability to govern our-
selves.”
Quesada for Annexation.
Detioit, Jan. 23. --At a dinner at 10»
nia, Mich” Saturday night, Senor Que-
sada, the Cuban patriot, responded to
the toast, “The Present and Future
Relations of Cuba .to the‘ "United
States." '
Senor Quesada said that the Cubans
are willing to abide by the promises of
the administration. Those who said
differently, he declared, did not knou
the Cuban character.
“The American flag is sufficient for
him to love and obey,” seid Senor Que-
sada, “and in time our star shall take
its place in the stars of your galaxy.”
This was greeted with great enthusi—
‘Senor Quesada was interviewed
“The immediate annexation of Cuba
is not to be thought of. The day when
Ithe Cuban republic is placed on its feet
and the Americans have redeemed
their promises, that day 95 per cent. of
my countrymen will gladly vote for
annexation, and this is the inevitable
outcome of the struggle.”
Takes Poison by Mistake.
Troy, Jan. 23.—Mrs. William Hutton,
Jr., wife of Assemblyman Hutton of
the Second. district of Rensselaer
county, died in Troy, Saturday after-
:noon by taking a dose of strychnine
in mistake for medicine. After drink—
ing the poison Mrs. Hutton realized
fher mistake,
summoned. Upon hisarrival Mrs.
lHutton’s words indicated that there
lhad been no intent at suicide.
‘ “I believe I have done something
.that will cause my death, " she said,
and expired.
' Mrs. Hutton had been for. some time
a sufferer with a nervous affliction,
and was accustomed to take medicines.
{She is survived by her husband and a .
‘son‘. She was the only surviving child
inf William Kennedy, who is associated
in the brewing business with Senator
lEdwmd Murphy, Jr.
1 Had she outlived her. father she
would have beengheir‘ tomearly 3 mil-
L'on dollars, as her. father is one of the

Our Troops Near Ilollo.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 23.--I»t is
ports received from- General one about
the landing of United States troops
fon _Guimaras island, near Iloilo, did
not show that the troops had formed
an encampment on the island.
.5 They still retain their sleeping quar-
tors, on the transports," but the greatest
freedom is permitted the men in going
“ashore.
The American soldiers, according to
«the latest reports, were becoming
friendly with the natives, and this as-
sociation was having a. good effect in
removing the suspicion with which the
Filipinos, regard the Americans.
