A VERY CLEVER DOCUMENT
No New Developnleut in the Philippines—
Filipino Insrrrection Spreading Accord-
ing to Advices Sent Out of Madrid—
szrnisli Losses in Cuba.
Washington, D. 0., Jan. 26.--The pre-
sentation to the state department of
the communication from Agoncillo, the
representative of Aguinaldo, , as he
styles himself, has not changed the
attitude of the department toward him,
and there is not the slightest probabil~
ity that he will be officially recognized
'by the president or Secretary Hay. It
is conceded that the document is clev-
erly phrased, with the intention to put
the United States government in the
wrong in the estimation of the world,
and it is suspected, from the half con-
cealed arrogance of the demand to be
informed of the purpose of our gov-
ernment in sending reinforcements to
the Philippines, that this communica-
tion may mark the, adoption of a new
line of policy by the insurgents in the
Philippines.
The first manifestation of this, in
case it is decided to resort to open
hostilities, probably will be the suddtn
departure of Agoncillo and his stuff
from Washington and from the limits
of the United States.
There was an absence of advices
from General Otis which led the offi-
cials at the war department to the
conclusion that there has been no ap-
preciable change in the conditions at
Manila or Iloilo, and some "satisfaction
is felt in even that style of negative
assuia nce.
Madrid, Jan. 26.--An official dispatch
has been received by the government
from Manila saying that all Spanish
troops and supplies are now concen-
trated in the Visayas islands and Min-
danao.
Madrid, Jan. 26.--An official dispatch
from the Sulu islands of the Philip—
pine group declares that the Spanish
occupation continues.
Dispatches to the newspapers assert
that the insurrection of the Filipinos
is spreading greatly and that a native,
regiment disbanded by the Spaniards

Aguinaldo.
According to figures published here
eighty thousand Spanish soldiers per-
ished, chiefly from sickness, during
the last campaign in Cuba.
The German Anti-Jesuit Law.
' Berlin, Jan. 26.--The reichstag yts—
:erday passed the first and second
reading of the Centrist motion to re-
peal the anti—Jesuit law. The bill
would repeal the law exiling Jesuits.
As a matter of fact the Jesuits have
nearly all returned to Germany, where
they virtually occupy the same position
they did before 1872.
The repeal would give them in form
the liberty which they now enjoy in
fact
Schooner Runs Ashore,
Cape May, N. J., Jan. 26.--The three

TREATY TOTE FEB. '6
Senate. Agrees to Take Final
Action on That Date.
GOBMAN’S 03:" FEB ACCEPTED
Believed Now That; Ratification “fill Sui-e-
ly Follow—Committee Discussion“aml n
“'lrite House Conference—Friends.of
the ' Treaty Confident.
Washington, 1’). 0., Jan. 26.--The
Senate has unanimously agreed to vote
on the treaty of peace February 6 at
two p. m. , ,
Senator Davis was not in a. position
Tuesday to accept Senator Gorman's
offer without consulting the commit--
tee on foreign relations. The commit-
tee discussed the ma-tttr yesterday and
decided in favor of taking a. vote, and
the above agreement was reached in
executive session as a. result.
The committee discussion was pre-
ceded by conferences at the White
House between the president and the
administration leaders in the Senate.
Mr. McKinley was reported -to have
urged that a. vote be taken as soon as.
possible.
Meanwhile the debate will go on, and
work will be done on the doubtful sen-
ators. Their constituents will bring
pressure to bear upon them to support
the administration, and it is thought.
that by Monday week there will be no
doubt as to a two-thirds majority for
the treaty.
The Senate’s action is also expected
to have a good effect on the Filipinos.
It will also cause those nations who
threaten to recognize the so-called
Philippine republic to hesitate, and will
show to Agoncillo and his junta that
the administration is not afraid of a
vote. 01‘ of the defeat of the peace
treaty.
The Senate went into executive ses-
sion at 12546 and resumed open session
at 1.40. It was during this time that
the agreement was reached.
At two o’clock the Senate again went
into executive session and Senator D117
vis took the floor to sneak in favor of
ratification.
During the brief recess between the
two executive sessions the administra-
tion senators'expressed confidenc-i in
the result of the vote.
It is now claimed that there will re-
ally be but twenty-three votes against
ratification.
tion claimed over thirty, but now that
the bubble has burst, senators are anx-
ious to get on the right side.
The proposition to take a. vote came
{10m Senator Travis, and Senator Cor-
man. after his offer of Tuesday, “as
obliged to arr-opt it, although he did
so reluctantly. ,
A. leadinr,r li‘.(~lll"(—Y of the fore-Ego
relations comr -i-‘.t- c and a close friend
ot‘ the president. said:
"This nears a. ratification of the
treaty beyond :1 doubt. It is annhor
triumph for the. resident. He insisted
that a vote should be taken anl the
senators placed on record. He felt
sure of ratification and now
T—le wanted a rate this week, but seve-
ral 111embe1-s of the committee thought
it had bettrr
compromise was arranged in .11: (-0111-
mittee fixing the tote ten days l19ncn.‘~'t
lhe situ111- 11 in Manila is such that
further delay may cause an open r11p-.
ture and bl-r-ul' 1160, and the proérvlént
wants the Smut-2 put on recur-ti
peace or war. If the treaty is defeat-
ed one of the administration senators
will change his vote and then move
to reconsider, a motion which 'only
requires a majority to carry and
whichwill prevail. This will prrt the
treaty in its old place and give the
committee on foreign relations an op-
portunity to withdraw it if it so dc-
sires. .
The administration firmly believes.
however, that when the vote is taken
the necessary two—thirds majority to
ratify will be forthcoming.
In Defence of Keely.
New York, Jan. 26.--B. L. Ackerman,
president of the Keely Motor Com-
pany, issued a reply yesterday to the
charge that John W. Keely's “secret
power was simply compressed air."
Mr. Ackerman declares that the tub-
ing and pipes alleged to have been re-
cently discovered at the plant were
known to all connected with the in-
ventor's work, and that. they formed
a portion of some machinery which
had been discarded years ago.
Mr. Ackerman closes with an elabo-
rate description of Keely's methods,
giving much technical information in
regard to the various devices. He says
that recent criticisms have been thor-
oughly unjust, as there has been no
proper. foundation for the charges
made. The statement was authorized
by the directors of the company.
Dewey on England. '
London, Jan. 26.--\’Ir. Hamilton
Brown, editor of the British Realm,
receiveda. letter yesterday from Rear
Admiral Dewey. dated Manila, De-
cember 18, in response to a request for
an expression of opinion on Great
Britain’s imperial policy. The admiral
says:
“After many years of wandering l
have come to the conclusion that the
mightiest factor in the civilization of
the world is the imperial policy of
England.

i'ho miner'alogislt' on account of its
complicated structure, being made up
of many different elements. Not only
are the Maine tourmali-ues the most
remarkable produced in the
States, but some off the. colors from
them are by far" the finest found any-
.where in the world. The stones were
discovered. in this locality in 1820, and
some of the crystals taken from the
surface pockets at this rtime may now
be seen in: the imperial collection of
minerals at Vienna. The mines of
Paris, Maine, have been worked since
1871. The largest fine gem taken out
weighed sixty-'1rinc and one-fourth
carats, and is of a superb light green
color, and absolutely free frd‘m flaws.
It has been suggested that the tour-
nrnlirne be adopted as our national
gem.
0111-. Way to Cook a. Chicken.
An excellent way to cook and serve
a chicken is thus: After cutting the
chicken open down the back pound the
breast bones with a wooden mallet to-
,flatten them a little. Lay the bird in
a shallow baking tin with some slices
of salt pork. and place the pan in a
hot oven. Pour a little salted water
into the pan and frequently haste the
chicken with it while it is in the
oven. Let it remain until about half
cooked. Then take it from the pan
and place it upon a broiler over :1 clear
.tire. Broil the under
chicken. and then turn it and cool:
the skin side to a delicate brown
When cooked place it upon a heated
platter, sprinkle it with salt and pep
par and pour some melted butter over
it. Scatter chopped parsley over the
whole. A chicken cooked in this
manner has all the delicate flavor oi
hroiling and will be more thoroughly
and evenly cooked.
