iLOILO HAS FALLEN.
Fall of the ?Visayan Capital
Announced From Manila.
AMERICANS WIN . WITHOUT LOSS.
No Change Is Reported In the Situa-
tion at Manila—Agulnaldo Reports
Heavy American Losses—Will V
Fight For Liberty to Death.
MANILA, Feb. 14-—9:35 a. m.—-The
United States forces under Brigadier
General Miller captured Iloilo, capital
of the island of Panay and seat of the
so called government of the Visayan
federation, on Saturday last, after a
bombardment. The rebels set the town
on fire before evacuating it, but the
American troops extinguished the flames.
There were no casualties on the Ameri-
can tide.
General Miller, on receipt of his in-
structions from Manila, sent native
commissioners ashore from the United
States transport St. Paul with a com-
munication for the rebel governor of
Iloilo calling upon him to surrender
within a time stated and warning him
not to make a demonstration in the in-
terval.
The rebels immediately moved their
guns and prepared to defend their po-
sition. Thereupon the Petrel fired tw0
warning guns, the rebels immediately
opening fire upon her.
The Petrel and the Baltimore then
bombarded the town, which the rebels,
having set on fire, immediately evacu-
ated.
American troops were promptly land-
ed and extinguished the fire in all cases
of foreign property, but not before con-
siderable damage had been done.
It is believed that the enemy’s loss
during the bombardment was heavy,
but no American casualties. are re-
The 'Kansas and Idaho volunteers
have been recalled from the marsh
lands north of Malabon, and the former .
regiment is ow intrenched in front of
Caloocan. . e American line forms a
complete cordon 22 miles in length from
the coast on the north almost to Para-
naque, south of Manila.
There has been no change in the dis-
position of the troops, except that the
Fourth United States cavalry has re-
lieved the First Idaho volunteers, and
a battalion of the Twenty-third infan-
try has been stationed on the left flank
to prevent the rebels sneaking along
the beach.
The enemy are busily throwing up in-
trenchments on their left, sharpshoot-
ers in the jungle covering their opera—
tions. »
Several Americans were wounded in
the trenches yesterday. Second Lieu-
tenant George A. Seaman of Battery B,
Utah artillery, was shot in the leg While
standing near his gun. Four men of the
Twentieth Kansas volunteers Were
wounded slightly. Sunday night Pri-
vate Brinton, Company B, and Private
Stevens, Company G, of the Kansas
regiment were woiinded.
All the enemy’s dead at Caloocan
have been buried—127 last Saturday
and 300 Sunday. .
The United States cruiser Charleston
has moved up the coast and is now off
Malolos, the seat of the so called Fili-
pino government, at a distance estimat-
. ed at about eight miles.
Aguinaldo Reports American Losses.
LONDON, Feb. 14.—Reuter’s Telegram
company, limited, has received the fol-
lowing dispatch from Manila, dated
Feb. 13, 3M5 p. m.: _
“After the capture of Caloocan a
Spaniard who had been a prisoner there
came tothe Americans, holding up his
hands, and said that the Filipinos had
offered to release the Spaniards, espe-
cially the artillerymen, if they would
undertake to fight against the Ameri-
cans at $4 a day. Most of the Spaniards
refused, and even those who accepted
the offer did so in the hope of effecting
an escape.
“The rebels, according to this infor-
mant, are discontented, unpaid, unfed
and thoroughly disillusioned, the talis-
manic wafers being of no avail against
wounds, hunger and fatigue.
“On Friday Aguinaldo visited Polo, a
few miles northwest of Caloocan, and
addressed the Filipino troops there,
claiming that he had won a victory and
asserting that 2,300 Americans had been
killed.” ‘
Productivity Instead of Protection.
BERLIN, Feb. 14.-,In last Saturday’s
debate in the reichstag upon the inter- ,
pellation of Count von Kanitz, the
Agrarian leader, regarding the commer-
cial relations between the United States
and Germany, Count Posadowsky-Weh-
ner, imperial secretary of state for the
interior, made a singularly able’ and
lucid statement of the development of
the trade of the United States with Eu-
rope, accompanying this with detailed
statistics. Dealing particularly with the
trade between the United States and
Germany, Count Posadowsky-Wehner
said he thought the extraordinary in-
crease of America’s exports was not
solely due to protection, but also to the
industrial productivity of the United
States, which was rapidly becoming a
great industrial as well as a great ag-
ricultural country.”
The Canal and the Treaty. _
LONDON, Feb. 14.——The Times pub-
lishes this morning a long explanatory
historical article on the Nicaragua ca-
nal and the Clayton—Bulwer treaty, ad-
vocating compensation for the abroga-
tion of the treaty and declaring that
“the Americans will think no less of us
if we combine friendship with business.”
In an editorial echoing the foregoing
views The Times says: “Our treaty
rights are undeniable and unassailable.
We cannot be expected to surrender
them gratis. On the other hand, we ad-
mit that, while our interests in the ca-
nal scheme are large, America’s are vi-
tal, and therefore as an. act of friend-
liness we ought to abrogate the treaty
. capitol, and to Mr. Payne of New York
upon reasonableconditions, which need *
not be in any way objectionable to the .
United States.”
Senator Raines’ Amendment.
ALBANY, Feb. 14.—Senator Raines
introduced his

prohibits the sale of liquor in all clubs;

AGONC‘ILLO’S VERSION.
‘guinaldo Says Filipinos Will Die
Gloriously For Liberty.
MONTREAL, Feb. 14.—Agoncillo, the
Filipino commissioner, in an interview
last evening gave-a most unqualified
contradiction to the cablegram from
General Otis, in which it is stated that
he (Agoncillo) telegraphed to Aguinaldc
to drive the Americans out before re-
enforcements arrived.
“The falsity of this is proved by the
American papers themselves,” said the
Filipino general, “in which you may see
the statement that many Philippine of-
ficers were arrested in the theater just
prior to the commencement of hostili-
ties. It is not likely that our officers
would be’ found in the theaters if they
knew that war was to commence. The
thing is absurd on the face of it. It
would have been suicidal for me to tele-
graph any such instructions. Our policy
was to maintain "an attitude of re-
serve.”
Following is a copy of an official tele-
gram from Aguinaldo received by Agon-
cillo, which was translated by Senor
Marti:
“On Saturdaynight the American ar-
my attacked our lines with premedita-
tion and without justification, and the
men-of-war of the American flotilla
bombarded simultaneously Molovan,
Caloocan and famogue, killing men,
women and children indiscriminately.
In the cities of Manila and Tondo de—
fenseless and unoffending civilians were
arrested, the Americans, besides injur-
ing the property of the people, at the
same time saying that they would never
cease till they had-exterminated the
Philippine race.
“The Filipinos are united with one
sentiment. They are resolved to die. glo-
riously for the independence of the Phil-
ippines rather than submit to the un4
just ambitions of the invaders.”

Fatal Railroad Accident.
PITTSBiIR-c, Feb. 14.—The south
bound Cleveland flier on the Pittsburg
and Lake Erie railroad, which left
Cleveland at 11:18 a. m.,‘ was wrecked
yesterday afternod‘n near Fleming
Park, opposite Davis island. The fire-
man was injured so that he died, and 17
passengers were badly injured. The
wreck was caused by a broken rail.
The train was running at a high rate of
speed, required by the schedule, and
the locumotive and several cars were
badly damaged. The train was compos--
ed of a baggage car, two day coaches
and a Pullman parlor car. All were
vestibuled cars, and it was. one of the
best trains on the road. It is one of
the fastest trains in the country and
makes the trip from Cleveland in three
hours. It is presumed that the broken
rail was one of the effects of the ex-
treme cold. -
Senate Without a Quorum.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—At no time

pronounced at the opening of the ses-
sion, neither the regular chaplain nor
any other minister being able to reach
the capitol. A sharp debate over the
unanimous consent agreement reached
Saturday afternoon to vote on the Me-
Enery resolution today. was precipitat-
cd early in the session. The agricultur-
al appropriation bill was called up, con-
sidered' and passed with only a few un-
important amendments.

CHICAGO, Feb. 14. — After being

it is not expected that any of them will
be much the worse for the experience.
Y ung Arthur Fletcher, who made a
heroic effort to bring them ashore in
his boat and who paddled around all
night in the frail craft, did not fare so
well, both his feet being badly frozen.
It is expected that he will be a cripple
for life.

/ CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-—An unknown man
about 30 years of age shot himself in
the temple in the corridor of the Great

of self destruction to place his hat out
of danger before he fired the fatal shot.
