JAGUINALDO NOT GO THE WILL AGAINST AMERICANS So the Insurgents Decide to Re- tire From the Suburbs of Mapnila. . Soon the *Dictator” of the ‘““Philippine Repub- lic”” Will Cable a Statement to This Cou ntry. BY SOL N. SHERIDAN. Special Cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1898, by James Gordon Bennett. MANILA, Sept. 14.—Aguinaldo and five of his subchiefs have concluded not to provoke a conflict with Americans at this time, and, obedient to General Otis’ orders, the insurgents -re to-day moving out of Malate, Eroita and Banta Ana. General Pio Pllar Is throwing up strong works at Las Pinas té protect Bakoor and the rebels’ sup- ply depot at Imus. The insurgent soldiers said the Amer- icans are to be attacked on October 5. Their feeling is deeply aggravated by the attitude of certain sensational American newspapers. Aguinaldo is preparing and will soon issue a state- ment to the American people. San Francisco newspaper of August 3 cor- tained a story of treachery, headed “Perfildious Aguinaldo Hampers Amer- fcan Troops.” To this story the dicta- tor takes strong exceptions. Coples of the paper, which were generally circu- jated here, finally reached the rebel leader, and it w he last straw. Agui- resolved to appeal to Americans, bling his own statement to the As- ed Press. He will deny the arges of treachery, or that he ever gought to hamper American operations, d he will declare openly his willing- s to accept an Amer! protector- annexation of th lands. e » disclaim any ambition for dic- hip or the presidency.

The firmness d g and tact of General Otis have produced an excellent result. The Governor of Tledlo is facilitating commerce, accord- ing to his agreement, and trade with | the southern ports increases daily. IOWA AND OREGON i WILL JOIN DEWEY | NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—The Herald's Washington correspondent telegraphs: Secretary Long informed me to-day that the battleships JTowa and Oregon are under orders to proceed to Manila via Honolulu for the purpose of rein- forcing Admiral Dewey’s command. The Secretary’s statement is a con- firmation of the announcement made | by the Herald on Tuesday last that the | battleships would proceed to Manila. In directing them to touch at Honolulu the authorities were actuated by two motives—first, by putting them in a central position, where they could be avallable for any duty in Pacific wa- ters which might be considered desir- | able; and second, because they did not care to.send reinforcements to Rear Admiral Dewey before the armistice now in force between the United States and Spain expired. It is expected in official circles that the battleships and five colliers which will accompany them will be ready to sail for the Pa- cific by Monday next. While believing there will be no in- ternational developments to change the programme, the authorities do not pro- pose to be in such a position that they cannot modify instructions to vesselsin case of necessity. And it is for this reason that they desire them to touch at certain points, report their arrival and receive any orders the department may find it advisable to send them. So far as Germany is concerned the au- thorities say there is nothing in the at- titude of that Government to cause & belief that it proposes to interfere with any disposition of the Philippines that this Government may see fit to make. It is appreciated, however, that it will be the part of wisdom for the United States to put in the Pacific a force which will be so formidable as to dis- courage even a suggestion of interfer- ence. It {8 for this reason that the Ore- gon and Iowa have been sent to join Rear Admiral Dewey rather than be- cause of any pressing emergency. | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1898. WEST INDIES dRE SWEPT BY FATAL STORMS Hundreds Meet Death in Ruins of Houses and Thousands Are Homeless. Kingston, the Capital of St. Vincent, Totally Destroyed, With a Tremendous Loss of Life. ST. THOMAS, D. W. I, Sept. 14.—Ac- cording to the latest reports from St. Lucia the storm which broke upon the island last Sunday developed almost unprecedented violence, being accom- panied by a tidal wave and tremendous rains. Numerous landslides were caused and many houses, bridges and estates have been destroyed. At least twelve lives have been lost. { Guadaloupe, the French island in the Leeward group, has experienced very heavy weather. Nineteen deaths are reported. ¢ A boat from the island of St. Vincent, 100 miles west of Barbadoes, arrived to- day at the island of Grenada and re- ports that St. Vincent has experienced the most violent and destructive cy- clone ever known there. Kingston, the capital of St. Vincent, is totally destroyed. It is estimated that 300 lives have been lost in that isl- and and that 2500 people are homeless. The bodies of the dead are being buried in trenches. Thousands are starving or being fed at the public expense. The amount of property destroyed in St. Vincent cannot yet be estimated. Every small house is down and many large ones have been destroyed. The demolished buildings include churches, stores and almost all the state build- ings. Three large ships are ashore on the Windward coast and many smaller vessels are stranded. No information is obtainable here from Barbadoes as to the results of the threatened hurricane of Saturday nieht last. Communication is cut off and the worst is feared. TERRIBLE HURRICANE SWEPT OVER- BARBADOES Two Hundred Persons Have Been Wounded and Forty Thousand Rendered Homeless. LONDON, Sept. 14—Advices were re- cefved here late to-night saying that a terrible hurricane has swept over Bar- badoes, in the Windward group of the Lesser Antilles. Two hundred persons have been wounded and 40,000 have been rendered homeless.

THE GENERAL ON DEFENSE THE COUNT'S TALK WAS MIS- ERABLE SLANDER. Bagasta Causes the Cortes to Adjourn in Order to Prevent Further Publicity of the 8 Scandal. 5 Special Dispatch to The Call. MADRID, Sept. 14.—General Primo de Rivera has demanded an inquiry in- to his administration of the Philippine Ielands, and in doing so he said the at- tacks of Count d'Almenas were only “fit for the mouth of a miserable slan- derer.” Count d’Almenas was endeavoring to reply when Senor Sagasta read the de- cree proroguing the Cortes. Count d’Almenas and General Rivera separated, approached the President in a hostile manner, and a duel is ex- pected. Premier Sagasta afterward read the decree in the Chamber of Deputies. It is expected that the Spanish peace commissioners will be appointed with- out delay. A painful impression has been caused here by a statement made by the Pais saying the United States intends to de- mand $20,000,000 indemnity in behalf of American citizens who have suffered through tthe insurrection in Cuba. The Spanish peace commissioners will strongly oppose this, it is_claimed, but fears prevail that the United States will become pitiless and press its ad- vantage to the utmost. The Queen Regent signed the protocol bill this evening. The Government had intended the Cortes to sit until an in- demnity for the suspension of the con- stitutional guarantees had been passed, but the threatened agitation on the part of General Weyler and others, to- gether with the evidence of divisions in both the Liberal and the Conservative parties, convinced Senor Sagasta of the advisability of closing down debates which would have hindered the free progress of the peace negotiations. The Cortes will be next convoked to ratify the final treaty of peace. It is rumored that Senor Perio, Senor Crespo and Senor Lara, members of the Cham- ber of Deputies, started for the French frontier this evening. LONDON, Sept. 15,.—The Madrid cor- respondent of the Daily Mail says: The politicians for the most part favor an entire renunciation of the Philippines in exchange for economic advantages. The Government closed the Cortes to- day (Wednesday) because it feared complications through the publicity a continuance of the session would give to the acts of the Spanish generals. The Standard says editorially this morning, after congratulating Senor BSagasta and the Government upon “having survived a difficult period suc- cessfully,” that the danger is now over. Spain, it continues, appears reconciled, | knowing that whatever differences may arise in the peace negotiations she is bound to yield. As to reports that In- demnity will be demanded the United States knows that no money can be got out of Spain and is therefore unlikely to make such a demand seriously. If the United States secures Luzon it is most probable that Spain will give up the remainder of the islands as a use- | less incumbrance. |ELIZABETH’S BODY IS SENT FROM SWITZERLAND | | Casket Containing the Remains of Austria’s Late Empress Buried in Floral Offerings. GENEVA, Switzerland, Sept. 14.—The casket containing the remains of the late Empress of Austria, borne on a four-horse car and followed by two other cars almost | buried in floral offerings, was conveyed to | the rallroad station here at 8:30 o'clock | this morning. An enormous concourse of | people witnessed the ceremony. The cor- tege was led by the representatives of the Imperial Court, followed by the Federal Council, headed by the President and the Geneva Council. The firemen lined the streets, The brilllant sunshine made a striking contrast to the gloomy aspect of the mourners. The funeral train left here at 9 o'clock. The funeral car was ornamented with silver wreaths, surmounted by a silver cross and had white plumes at each cor- | ner. The casket was of polished oak, with | siiver mountings. It was almost hidden | beneath floral tributes, On the arrival of | the hearse at the railfoad station, which | was hung with black drapery, the coffin was removed, the remains of the Empress were ceremoniously blessed and the casket | was placed in the rallroad car, which was | then sealed. After this the Austrian offi- clals embarked on the train and it de- parted from this city. VIENNA, Sept. 14.—In accordance with the Emperor's wishes, the remains of his wife, the late Empress Elizabeth, will be interred beside those of Crown Prince ?udolpm jInterment on Saturday, there- ‘ore, will be Tary. FRIBSTE, “Austria, Sept, 1.—The anti- Itallan demonstrations here were renewed last evening. An attack upon the Italian club being feared, a detachment of olicemen was sent to guard the build- hg. The police and soldiery arrested 120 rioters. any of the latter had arms in theirl{nssesn on. BERNE, Sept. 14.—The assassin, it is said, has written to the President of the Swiss confederation, asking to be tried at Lucerne, where (:fnal punighment is in force. He now admits that he attended an anarchists’ club at Lausanne, where it was decided to assassinate some ‘:‘e‘t ersonage. Six members of the club have geen placed under arrest. The assassination has produced a great revulsion of feeling among the Swiss peo- ple in favor of capital punishment. Shanactal UNION IRON WORKS . TC BUILD THE OHIO Contracts for the Construction of the Three New Battleships Will Be Awarded To-Day. NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—A Washington special to the Herald says: Secretary Long has directed that the battleship which is to be built by the Union Iron Works shall be named the Ohlo. The Cramps will build the Maine, and the Newport News Company the Missouri. The contracts were not awarded to these firms to-day on account of a change necessary to be made in the wording of the recommendation of the board of con- struction, but they will be awarded to- MOrrow. —_—— Photographing Sound, the latest Call, discovery of science, in next Sunday’s | d REQUEST OF THE TURKS REJECTED Admirals Will Not Grant Delay in Crete.

CANEA, Island of Crete, Sept. 14— The admirals of the international fleet at Canea have rejected the request of the Turkish authorities for an exten- sion of time in which to comply with the ultimatum to Edhem Pasha, Turk- | ish Governor of Crete, demanding that within forty-eight hours be should de- liver up the ringleaders of the recent outbreak and massacre, surrender the forts and ramparts commanding the town and disarm the Mussulman troops. It is reported that Mr. Riddle, secre- tary of the American legation at Con- stantinople, is coming here in connec- tion with the American demand for compensation for the destruction of the American consulate. CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 14.—The Turkish Government has sent a circu- lar to the powers alleging that the British provoked the disorders at Can- dia, claiming that the present situa- tion is due to the measures adopted by the powers in cCrete and protesting against the bombardment of Candia. The Porte announces {ts refusal to withdraw the Turkish troops from Crete in s~ite of the statement of the ad..irals that such a step is absolutely necessary. The circular has made a bad impression in diplomatic circles. CANDIA, Island of Crete, Sept. 14.— The Bashi Bazouks have consented to disarm, provided their arms are deliv- ered to the Turkish authorities. The Mussulman authorities, in view of the admirals’ ultimatum, have al- ready arrested twenty ringleaders of the recent massacres here. REPLY OF SPANISH _COMMISSIONERS Satisfactory to' the American Repre- sentatives Who Are Arrang- ing Evacuation. SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Sept. 14.—The United. States Porto Rico Evacuation Commission met this morning. The reply of the Spanish commissioners, setting forth thelr position in accordance with the instructions from Madrid, was received It is satisfactory to our com- missioners, who hoj ain detalls of the evacuation will be arranged within a few days.

The steamer expected here to embark the first detachment is the Conde Wifredo of 2767 tons, belonging to the Pinillos line. She left Cadiz September 1 for this port and for Havana. SENATOR HOAR OFFERED THE LONDON MISSION But the Veteran Massachusetts Ben- ator Will Decline to Go Abroad. WASHINGTON, Sept. 14—It is under- stood that President McKinley has in- vited Senator Hoar, the senfor Senator from Masachusetts, to accept the London mission to succeed Mr. Hay. While a definite response has not yet been re- celved, it is gathered that the Senator will probably decline on the ground that he would be more serviceable to the coun- try in his present condition, while the delicate health of Mrs. Hoar renders a c;mfi\lge of climate inadvisable at her time of_life. NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—The Washington correspondent of the Press says that if Senator Hoar accepts the post of Embas- sador to England, and Secretary long is appointed his successor, Colonel Roose- velt may become Secretary of the Navy. it S, FAURE WILL NOT NOW INTERVENE Minister of War Zurlinden Expected to Resign From the Ministry. PARIS, Sept. 14.—A semi-official note issued this evening says: All the state- ments of the newspapers regarding the alleged intervention of the President of the republic in the Dreyfus affair are incorrect. This is interpreted to mean that there will be no presidential crisis. It is now taken for granted that Gen- eral Zurlinden, Minister of War, will resign on Saturday, all the efforts of his colleagues to persuade him to ac- cept revision having failed. ‘When General Zurlinden’s successor is appointed he will find the courts of cassation all set in motion for revision. e ke Plenty of Food at Dawson. PORT TOWNSEND, Sept. 14.—The steamship Discovery, arriving here to- night from Skaguay, Alaska, brings ad- vices from Dawson up to August 27.

It Is Stated That the United States May Find It Necessary to Retain All the Phil- ippines. Bpectal Dispatch to The Call. ‘WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.—Much sat- isfaction was expressed to-day over the reports from Madrid that the lower house of Parllament had passed the Government bill accepting the terms of the protocol. The upper house already has passed this measure, so that the last fear of the legislative .opposition of the trans- fer of Cuba, the Ladrones and Porto Rico is over. The authorities here feel that this carries them by a danger point, as it has been feared for some time that the animosities in the Span- ish Cortes would lead to the defeat of the Sagasta Ministry on the question of evacuating the Spanish islands, either in one branch or the other. It is not doubted that the commis- sion will start the negotiations at Paris with the assertion that we have con- quered Spain in the Philippines, and that Spanish sovereignty has already been forfeited there. This will not, however, necessarily signify that it is the purpose of the administration to re- tain possession of the entire group of islands, or to permanently deprive Spain of all her possessions in the Pa- cific. It is not believed that the admiffis- tration has gone beyond the determina- tion to retain the whole of the island of Luzon, but it is understood to be the intention of the President to establish at the outset the right of this Govern- ment to determine the fate of the is- lands. The matter of relinquishing posses- sion of the rest of the islands is in- volved with so many conditions to be considered that it is realized that it may by force of circumstances become necessary to deprive Spain permanent- 1y ‘of all her possessions in that quar- ter. It is understood not to be a mat- ter of policy to acquire all this terri- tory, but it may become a necessity. The commercial and trade side of the question, as involving the development and expansion of our commerce in the Pacific, is occupying chief attention in connection with determining our policy. WASHINGTON COAL FOR SAN FRANCISCO Fairfax Mines East of Tacoma to Be Developed on a Large Scale. TACOMA, Sept. 14—Increased demand for coal on the Pacific Coast, particularly at San Francisco, has led to the open- ing of the Fairfax mines, forty miles east of Tacoma. They are owned by the American Development Company, of which H. W. McNeil, formerly general manager of the Oregon Improvement Company, {8 president. The product of the veins now being opened, consisting of domestic and steam coals, will be shipped to San Francisco, beginning in October. The mines will produce 1000 tons daily at first, which will later be in- creased to 1500 tons. Other veins pro- duce blacksmithing and coking coal, and will be opened next year, when an im- ‘| mense coke-making plant is to be built. A one-eighth mile branch of the Northern Pacific Railway 1s beln constructed from Carbonado to the Iairfax mines, where the new town of Fairfax has been laid out. Everything is being done on a large scale, funds for development being fur- nished by British capitalists, who are art-owners with President McNeil of the ritish Columbia anthracite mines at Banff. McNeil is one of the most prom- inent coal men on the Pacific Coast. In shipping and mining circles it is predict- ed that his operation will result in lessen- ing shipments of British Columbia and Australian coals to San Francisco. It is understood in shipping circles that the company Is considering the ad- visability of using barges for carrying coal down the coast. COMMODORE WATSON TO BE COMMANDANT EBastern Squadron Disbanded and Its Commander Ordered to the Mare Island Navy-Yard NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—The Herald correspondent telegraphs from Wash- ington: Secretary Long issued orders to-day disbanding the Eastern squad- ron and assigning its commander, Com- modore J. C. Watson, to duty-as com- mandant of the Mare Island navy yard. These orders indicate the firm belief entertained by the administration that there is no danger of a resumption of hostilities. The Eastern squadron was formed just before the destruction of Cervera’s fleet, when Admiral Camara’s command started for the Philippines, and the object of its organization was attained when Camara and his fleet were ordered back to Spain. Commodore Watson has been ordered to proceed in the Newark to Port An- tonio and there take steamer for New York. His assignment to the Mare Isl- and navy yard was recently forecasted by the Herald and is understood to be t{omughly agreeable to him. i sy WILL INVESTIGATE CAMP SCANDALS ' Prominent Men Who Have Accepted the Posts Tendered by the President.

BOTKIN Overwhelmed With Grief Over Dunning’s Departure for the Seat of War. Mrs. Loretta Simpson, landlady of the Victoria Hotel preceding Mrs. Price, who succeeded her in last April, swears that Mrs. Botkin applied for rooms at that house two or three months before the transfer, and was given a room on the third. floor, opposite that of J. P. Dun- ning. Mrs. Botkin introduced Dunning as her cousin. They only breakfasted at the hotel. Mrs. Botkin represented herself as a newspaper woman. Inquiry was made of Mrs. Nye, a lodging-house keeper on California street, as to the reputation of Mrs. Botkin, who had had & room in her_house. Mrs. Nye spoke very highl: of Mrs. Botkin. i Mrs. Botkin and Dunning came up to- gether to the Victoria, after having se- lected their rooms, and paid a month's rent in advance. Dunn n% was In ({‘ha house only a week when he recelved a telegram to go to Cuba. The next morn- ing Mrs. Botkin was very much excited, crying and going on at a great rate, say- ing she thought that would be the last of Dunning, that he surely would be killed. She seemed very much worried and was almost crazy about his going away. Mrs. Montgomery, who was introduced as a cousin of Mrs. Botkin, came to con- sole her. She remarked that she “‘did not see what Mrs. Botkin could see in Dun- ning.”” Mrs. Botkin went on hysterically before Dunning’s departure and_seemed very much infatuated with him. Dunning came to Mrs. Simpson with tears in his eyes and asked her to be good and kind to Mrs. Botkin. After he left Mrs. Simp- son heard of nothing but the war and Cuba from Mrs. Botkin. = e The largest lunatic asylum in Eng- land is at Prestwich, where the Lan- cashire County Asylum has over 2300 patients.
