Response of the President to a Senate Resolution—Instructions to Na- tive Commissioners, In further response to the Senate resolu- tion of January 17, the President sent to the Senate yesterday afternoon additional dccuments bearing upon the insurrection in the Philippines. The papers are ail im- Portant. One of them is a report of Col. Armas Blanco of the Philippine army the “general commanding the second zone,” of the events of February 2. 1899, in Tondo. He says that on hearing the alarm of fire he immediately oriered twenty men who gathered to hold themselves ready, “so that when the designated hour arrived they would be ready to go to Meisic, where the American barracks are, and set on fire the houses about thera in order to interfere with their coming out from the barracks, as was agreed upon in the meeting with D. Rosend Limon. The result was that on marching to the scene of operations we found the Calzada of Azcarraga was filled with Americans, and with them were a num- ber of country people, who cried out, ‘Brothers, to the strife. For now is the heur!’ This is what men were saying to that crowd, and at the proper time they sounded the call of our army, “Advance ard fire." The sight of that strange scene threw us into confusion, for we believed that all ed from the be- ginning a pared by the enemy spies. He then ordered a retreat, and when they met the Americans. colonel latter gave his forces two volley: that his men with their daggers to-hand conflict forced the Americ tire. Another letter, dated at Tarlac, Octot 23 last, signed by J. M. Leyba, commen an unnamed Filipino officer, of whom the writer says: “He will go .to Manila commissioned by our government to throw seme dynamite bombs and set fire to the houses or the principal buildings, especially those occupied by foreigners.” Alliance With Spantsh Proposed. Among other documents ts an unsign letter to General Rios of the Spanish army, and in command at Iloilo, dated at Malolos, October 25, 1898, thought to be inspired by Aguinaldo. In this letter the writer sa: that his desire is to et save from ship- wreck the sovereignty of Spain in these islands.” He then proceeds: “I am in- formed that you are considering surrende ing the place to us or to the American aft xX months of vigorous siege and of total ndonment I understand how you can prefer us to the others. The way to make t urrender is to join us and pro- claim the federation of the Filipino re- public with the Spanish republic, recogniz- ing the chieftainship of our honorable pres- ident, Senor Emilio Aguinaldo; a fraternal embyace will take place between Fillpinos, wi ans and Spaniards. There will be hurrahs for Spain and the Filipinos united as a federal republic; your troops will pass into the common army; you will be pro- moted to a lieutenant general. Those who want to can go back at our expense, and the flags of Spain and the Filipinos will float side by side. You will give an ac- count of this to Madrid and in the mean- time we shail fight the Americans together. We shall conquer and then we shall wait and adjust our future relations. “The surrender of the heroic column you command is the greatests outrage which can be inflicted upon those valiant men since they have suffered the humillation which their unfortunate companions suffer here; and you, the able and upright and valiant general, are you going to sign a treaty with the Americans? God preserve you from it, sir! Your transfer to our side does not really involve treason to Spain, since the moment sovereignty passes to the Americans you are free to transfer your allegiance. This is in accordance with the principles of national honor, and it would serve as the first base of the new al- Hance between Spain and the Filipino: and then from both come honor and ap- plause for you as having been the one for- tunate enough to effect it.” Instructions to Filipinos. Both the preceding document and the one immediately following were on paper used in the private office of Aguinaldo, but neither of them bore any signature. The second document in this connection, which is not dated, is apparently a letter of in- structions to Filipino commissioners who were to accompany the American troops to lloilo. They were told not to recognize the sovereignty of the American government, and upon disembarking the commissioners were to prepare the Filipino forces to at- tack the Spaniards “some hours before the Americans can enter the place.” They are told that in case either the Spaniards or the Americans want to treat and make prom- ises to “believe nothing, and pay attention to nothing, but press the attack until you die or conquer both of them.” If the attack should not take place until after the entry of the Americans the Filipinos were in- structed that they ‘‘must continue to enter the city, preparing to occupy it and taking Possession of the ground, but without firing a shot, unless the Americans commence.’ In case the Americans should begin the Fi ipinos were to “attack immediately, and not to give up until killed.” Proposed Attack on Americans, In this connection the Iofloans were as- sured that the Americans were valorous only in appearance, and would soon yield if met with valor. If the Filipinos should get Possession of Iloilo before the embarka- tion of the Americans then the Filipinos were to “conceal themselves well in order to deceive the Americans, and make them think that we are more than we are in fact. In this case,” the instruction continues, “let them approach, and when they are in due range of our rifles there should be a general discharge, so that as many men as possible will be killed at once. We can calculate one of our soldiers being worth four of theirs, so that in the hour of victory after the com. bat we should have less losses than theirs.” Another document relates to a conference sought by Gen. Otis with Filipino leaders relative to the expedition to Iloilo, and says that Gen. Otis tried to secure a deputation of natives to accompany the expedition in order to conelliate the insurrectionists there. ‘There is a note with this document saying that Gen. Otis had indicated that it was the burpose of the United States to annex the Philippines, but that the general admitted that there were two parties in the Senate. Aguinaldo’s Proclamation. A proclamation, signed by Aguinaldo, on the 24th of May, 1898, says: “I see the Span- ish government is unable to struggle with certain elements, which constantly oppose the progress of this country, and now since the powerful and great North American na- tion has come, showing a disinterested pro- tection, which will enable us to secure the liberty of this country, I come to assume the command of all forces ready to assure the attainment of our revived aspirations.” He said he would first establish a dictator- ship, and afterwards a government with a cabinet. The papers are all translations of docu- ments captured from the Filipino forces. ee UNUSUAL DOUBLE WEDDING. ns to re- A Grandmother and Granddaughter Were the Bride: A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Press from Bloomsburg yesterday says: A double wedding took place at Mainville, this county, today, in which a grandmother and a granddaughter were the brides. The ceremony, performed by Rev. J. D. Smith of the Baptist Church of Bloomsburg, was witnessed by a large number of friends. F. W. Gearhart of Altoona was married to Mrs. Mary C. Farnsworth of Blooms- burg. and her granddaughter, Miss Pauline Smith, the daughter of Miles Smith of Main- ville, ‘was married to Herman Young of Philadelphia. It was the intention to have a triple wed- ding, but Mrs. Farnsworth's son was pre- vented from being there owing to a business engagement. Horseshoe Ourve to Be Straightened. President A. J. Cassatt of the Pennsylva- nia railroad has planned to build a straight line of railway between Gallitzin, the top of the Allegheny mountains, and Altoona, the base, cutting the distance from twelve miles to seven. These plans, which are very ex- tensive, do away with the famous horseshoe curve. GROSVENOR'S EXPLANATION PRESIDENT’S MIND, Says That the People Are Sustaining the Course of the Republicans on the Porte Rican Bi A motion to strike from the naval pill the contingent fund of $50,000 for the Navy Department was defeated in the House yes- terday afternoon. A point of order against the appropriation of $350,000 for the new Naval Academy at Annapolis was pending when the House adjourned. Mr. Groxvenor’s Explanation. During the debate on the bill in the af- ternoon Mr. Kitchen challenged Mr. Gros- venor to explain the President's change of mind on the Porto Rican bill. “As soon as it became manifest to the President that money had to be raised in some way and that the ways and means committee of this House had brought in a tariff bill providing for 15 per cent or 2 ber cent,” replied Mr. Grosvenor, “the President recognized the right and power of this House to originate that tariff bill. Up to the very last moment of the passage of that Porto Rican bil! gentlemen on the other side insisted that the President was still in favor of free trade in Porto Rico, and newspapers from one end of the cont!- nent to the other claimed that we on this side of the House were in a contest with the President; that the President never had changed his mind; that he was still in favor of free trade. But I call the gentleman's attention to the fact that in the message of the President he gave no sign or in- ication of when he desired that that free trade measure should go into effect. We by our vote put it so that within the next sixty days, ninety éays, four months time after the organization of the government, the people of Porto Rico can have free trade. The President has signed it and thereby given his approval to it.” “The gentleman says the President bows to the will of Congress,” tnterposed Mr. Wheeler. “In the debate on the Porto Rican question, when the gentleman appealed to his colleagues to support the pending bill, he charged it to be true that the President of the United States was then in accord with hi Mr. Grosvenor—"I say so now. . Mr, Wheeler—“He changed his opinion—" Republican Attitade, Mr. Grosvenor—"I say he did not change his opinion In any material respect: he simply changed from the original idea of free trade to what was almost the condition of free trade that we appended to the me ure. The country understands it. Con- gressman after ngressman who stood here in defense of the bill has gone to his constituents, just when the democratic noise was the loudest, and has been sent back here with a unanimity almost unparalleled in the nomination of congressmen. And the great body at Philadelphia, the Manufac- turers’ Association. on yesterday approved of the Porto Rico bill, the very body that a few weeks ago was quoted on this floor as opposed to it. (Applause on the republican side.) And, from one end of this country to the other, the people of this country are taking care of it. The republican party will se any votes in the coming election be- of its action on the Porto Rican bill. are not holding back by the coat tails of the world, and hollering whoa. (Laughter on the republican side.) We have got some- thing to show for our opinions. Witness the splendid organization of the government of Hawaiian territory. Look at the liberal, generous, Christian laws that we have be- stowed upon the people of Porto Rico. Look at the fact that but for the intervention of a few men on this side of the water we should have extended the same benefits of the Constitution, the same Mberty of Amer- ican citizenship in embryo, at least, to the people of the Philippine Islands. But we would not consent that you should drive us to admit that the people of Porto Rico and the people of the Philippine Islands were upon an equal footing with the people in the United States. (Applause on the repub- lican side.) We wouid not consent that mil- Mons and millions of Malays and all those people might come over here and march into our labor markets, and we will make !t warm for you before the campaign is over. (Laughter and appiause on the republican side.) You voted that the Constitution car- ried equal citizenship to the Malays and the Chinese of the Philippine Islands, and that is your position today. It is your complaint that we would not let you do {t; but in due time, under the wisdom of the republican party, and under the blessings of God. we will send liberty and equal rights as rapidly as they can comprehend them to the people of Porto Rico and to the people of the Phil- ey Islands. (Applause on the republican side. When Mr. Grosvenor took his seat Mr. Williams demanded au opportunity to re- ply, and time was accorded him. Mr. Williams Retorts. “Mr. Chairman,” said hc, speaking with deliberation, “as a man grows old he learns some things. I have learned something to- day. I will never again, while a member of the American Congress, undertake to ask a question of any member on this floor who is not sufficiently well versed in the ordinary courtesies of human Intercourse as to be capable of returning at least a poe lite reply to a polite inquiry. that it would be almost impossible for me without a breach of parliamentary rule to express myself upon tha® particular sub+ ject. tion which he either could not answer or Would not answer, or in his usual lawye?- like, politician style, desired to evade. That question has not been answered yet. The gentleman said on this floor that the Presi- dent of the United States had net changed his mind upon the Porto Rican question, Remember, I did not charge that he had. What I charged was that he had permitted others to change his mind for him, which, in my opinion, was not a thing of which any man could at any time be proud. But in charity to the President and in charity to many of the members of this House, I asked the gentleman when he denied that the President had changed his mind, that he permit me to ask a question, and he yielded. I asked him whether the Presi- dent had not in a publio message announced that he was in favor of free trade between Porto Rico and the balance of the United States, and also whether various members of this House had not risen, one after an- other, to say that the President had told them in private conversation subsequently that he was at the time of the conversation in favor of the bill which passed the House. There was nothing rude tn that inquiry: there was nothing personal in it; there was nothing discourteous in it; there was noth- ing unprecedented in {t; there was noth- ing in it that could have stirred up wrath in the breast of any man except one who felt as if he haa to break up the conven- tion In a row in order to keep from ar- riving at an election. That is all.” (Dems ocratic applause.) Mr. Grosvenor disclaimed any intention of affronting Mr. Williams and there the matter ended. ° HEARD CARRIES LOUISIANA. Latest Returns Give Him Majority in Every Parish. ‘ A dispatch from New Orleans, La., last night says: Today's returns do not in any respect chenge the result of yesterday's election, as indicated in last night's dis- patches. W. W. Heard, democratic candi- date for governor, appears to have carried every parish in the state, though in three or four the vote was close. The sugar district is almost solid for the democratic ticket, and the legislature is almost solidiy demo- cratic in both branch: The constitutional amendment, suthoriz- ing the city of New Orleans to issue $14,- 000,000 bonds for water, sewerage and drainage improvements, has carried over- whelmingly. The total vote in New Orleans was 21,648, slightly over half of the regis- tration. Heard received 18,051: Caffery, 2,647, and Reams, 950. Heard’s majority is 14,454. The returns received today indicate that the democrats carried their local tick- ets throughout nearly every parish in the state. . ———_+ e+ —___ A Russian Officials in Disgrace. * A Vienna dispatch says: Two Russian ad- mirals and forty-two other Russian naval officers of high rank are reported to have been arrested at Sebastopol owing to irregu- Jarities in the construction department, and 2 amounting to millions of les.
