S ALARM OVER CONDITION OF SPANISH PRISONERS | BY SOL N. SHERIDAN. Bpecial cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 18%, by James Gor- tt ¥ Sept. 19.—The condition of the Spanish prisoners is beginning to excite anxiety among military officers here. en thousand of these pris- | oners are quartered in churches and | other buildings within the narrow con- fines of the walled city, where most of | the Spanish live, where the American | garrison is necessarily quartered, nnd“ where General Otis has located the| army headquarters. | Members of the sanitary corps are | kept constantly at work clearing out | filth that accumulates, the Span- | jards not having a knowledge o the laws of sanitation. -The resuit is ;' condition threatening a general out- break of some zymotic disease at any | ent. Typhoid fever is already in- | creasing at an alarming rate. The authorities feel it is absolutely essential to the health of the city to get the Spanish prisoners out of Manila at the earliest possible date. Similar con- ditions are reported from Cavite, where | the Spanish in the hands of the rebels | are suffering for a lack of the necessa- | ries of life. | To make matters worse, the sailing of the hospital ship Rio has been repeat- | edly delayed. It is now stated that the| sel will sail on Thursday. Probably by that time she will have a consider- able accessfon to her invalid passenger list. - SENDING WARSHIPS TO THE ISLANDS WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—The offi- clals at the State and War departments welcomed the announcement to the American people through the Associ- | ated Press of the falsity of the stories | describing the friction between the | Filipinos and American forces in Lu- zon. While the officers do not care to | discuss the matter for publication it | was evident that the main source of their satisfaction was the internal evi- | dence contained in the document that Aguinaldo had profited by the warnings of the American commanders and had gracefully receded from the arrogant attitude assumed by him just before | General Merritt left Manila for Paris. | While there is little in the official rec- ords that tends to contradict what the insurgent chief says, still it must be | recalled that both General Merritt and Admiral Dewey, in cable messages to Washington, have pointed out the threatening complications arising from | the attitude of the insurgents. The Navy Department {s rushing preparations for the start of the big | battleships Oregon and Towa to Hono- | lulu, and orders have been sent to the New York navy-yard to have the me- chanics work overtime on these ships. | The purpose is to have them start on | their long voyage by the end of this month, and, according to department calculations, they should arrive at their destination by the end of Janu- ary. There is little effort made now to conceal the fact that the department will have the ships met at Honolulu by | a dispatch boat with orders to turn their prows westward to Manila. Battleships of this character are not needed to keep the Filipino insurgents | in order and their assembling at Ma- nila, in conjunction with the dispatch of heavy reinforcements of troops for the American land forces, cannot but be regarded as significant. In well-in- | | formed circles here it is said that the real purpose of the President in mak- ing these preparations is to insure the Peace Commissioners against any in- terference in their work of disposing of the future of the Philippines, ac- | cording to their best judgment. Not | having disclosed his plans respecting | the islands outside of Luzon, the seat | of the capital of the group, the Presi- | dent still reserves for the American | Peace Commissioners the right to dis- pose of the remainder of the islands as they may deem best. A long line of curious incidents, to which one of the great Buropean powers has been a party, has beyond question done much to cause a fesling of uneasiness on the part of the ad- ministration, as tending to show a pur- pose to interfere in our free action in the Philippines, and this has been only slightly diminished by apparently frank disclaimers of an ulterior pur- pose, because the incidents cnm!nue‘ | quletly and in a manner calculated to | avoid attracting attention. Such, for | instance, i the gathering of naval ves- | sels to the south of the Philipplnei group, the only explanation of which, | coming from native sources, it is true, | but still bearing marks of genuineness, | is a purpose of acquiring either by seiz- ure or by some secret pact with the Spanish Government the important island of Palawan. | This particular island forms one side | of the gateway through which must | pass all of the extensive commerce that floats between Australia, Micronesia and Southern China. The passage is narrow, and if the islands of the Phil- ippine group are to be retained, outside | of Luzon, this island of Palawan must be kept, forming one side of the gate- way. It is gathered that it is the pur- | pose, therefore, to prevent the aliena- | tion by Spain of any of the Philippine group, and that these preparations, naval as well as military, are but steps toward the execution of his purpose. With the addition to his fleet of two battleships Admiral Dewey will have a force only second to that of Great Brit- ain in Eastern waters, while on shore General Otis will have a more numer- ous army in the Orient than any Euro- pean power save Russia. e e ol AN ATTEMPT TO POISON AGUINALDO MANILA, P. 1, Sept. 19.—The Repub- lica Filipina asserts that an attempt was made to poison Aguinaldo on Fri- day night. A steward, it is alleged, saw PASTORS ASSIGNED T0 NEW PLACES Concluding Day of the Conference. APPOINTMENTS ANNOUNCED BUSINESS CROWDED INTO THE CLOSING HOURS. Pacific Grove Selected by the Method- ist Delegates as the Site of the Next Annual Gather- ing. Special Dispatch to The Call. PACIFIC GROVE, Cal., Sept. 19—This was the busiest day of the entire confer- ence week. | and the preparations of all the members for departure there was not a moment from dawn till midnight that remained unoccupied. Naturally, the busiest of all these busy men was the presiding Bishop, for upon his shoulders rested the burden of the responsibility of settling the busi- ness affairs of this important body, of | making provision for the temporal and spiritual welfare of nearly 300 men and their families. That peculiar usage of the Methodist church by which each minister | surrendered all right of choice in regard to his home and field of labor, placing the decision solely in the hands of the Bishop, makes it necessary for the church to have great care in its choice of men to bear so great a resposibility, but Bishop Hurst, in whose hands are the affairs of the Cali- fornia Conference, is fully equal, both in natural ability and caution, to the task he is performing. The members of this con- ference feel perfectly satisfled with the manner in which he has ordered their affairs, The clerk of the weather sent a magnifi- cent day, and sunshine without and within, judging from the countenances of the members, prevailed when Bishop John F. Hurst called the first session to order at 9 a. m. The first business of the morn- ing was the report of the committee of Sabbath observance, made by Chairman | M. C. Briggs, D.D., and that of the com- | mittee on missions, read by W. P. Grant. | Both reports were adopted. After a motion of Dr. H. B. Heacock that the committee on ministerial quali- fications be divided into three sections of | five members, one section to go out and | a new_one to be elected each year, was carried, Rev. Dr. A. J. Palmer of New | York addressed the conference on the sub- | ject of church missionary debt, and the | Wworkings of the organization by which | the money belonging to the ethodist | Missionary Society are disbursed in chan- nels along which it is most needed for | civilizing and christianizing the unenlight- ened peoples of the earth. The report of the special committee ap- pointed to consider a_change in the ratio | of the episcopal fund of this episcopacy was presented and after considerable dis- cussion was adopted as follows: That the apportionment of the episcopal fund in each charge be fixed at 10 cents per member, and that it be made a pro-rata claim with that of the pastor an resid- ing elder. The shortage of $67818 in lasi year's fund has made the increase neces- sary and also has made necessary the | further action of the conference that this | assessment be strictly enforced hereafter | in order that the fund may not fall short in_the coming year. Resolutions of courtesy were read and adopted, after which committee reports | were heard. The report of the committee on periodicals was presented by Rev. J. H. Wrythe Jr. and spoken to strongly by Rev. Dr. W. S. Mathews, editor of the Califor- nia Christian Advocate; Bishop Hurst, the | resent _conference president, and’Dr. Seorge P. Mains of New York, the latter of whom talked of the Bublishlng interests of the M. E. Church. Dr. Mains said that Methodism was engaged in the colossal partnership of enterprises to accomplish the sublime aim of conquering the world for Christ. This was Dr. Main's first ap- pearance before the California Conference. Dr. Mains then presented to the confer- ence a check for $109, its share of the div- idend recently declared by the Methodist Book Concern of the United States. discussion which all supposed precipitated by the question vhich Bishop Hurst then asked: *‘Where will you hold your next conference?”’ was obviated by his saying when on motion of Dr. H. B. I{eacock Pacific Grove was pro- osed: “I'd like to be able to vote for Pacific Grove myself.” The motion was carried with no opposi- tion. J. D, Hammond addressed the con- ference for himself and J. N. Beard, both of whom were absent when the vote on ministerial representation in the general conference was taken, asking that their votes in the affirmative be recorded. The request was granted. A notable resolution was presented Dr. Kummer. The preamble stated that as Bishop Willlam Taylor, who was a plo- | neer g{othndlst minister of Caiifornia, a Spanish prisoner who had been al- | DaVing begun as a street preacher in the lowed his freedom make a movement which appeared like tampering with a bowl of soup intended for Aguinaldo, whereupon the steward tasted a spoon- ful of the soup and fell dead. Eleven Franciscan friars are alleged to have been engaged In the conspiracy. The populace, it is further sald, at- tempted to lynch all the Spanish pris- oners,” but Aguinaldo intervened. At Saturday’s session of the national as- sembly it appears Aguinaldo was ab- sent, but his representative related the story of the outrage to the members, who unanimously adopted the chair- man's proposal that they all go to Aguinaldo’s house, express sympathy with him and congratulate him upon his escape. During the evening a spe- clal thanksgiving service was held in the church at Malolos. Soup intended for Agulnaldo is now subjected, it is stated, to a chemical analysis before being presented to the | insurgent leader, and the Spanish pris- eners are kept closely confined. OWTH IN THE ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS BOSTON, Sept. 19.—An officlal welcome verelgn Grand Lodge of the In- t Order of Odd Fellows was the Y. M. C. A. Hall to-day. The members of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, 200 in number, and the ladies rep- resenting the Order of Rebekah, were es- corted to the hall by committees. The members of the Sovereign Grand Lodge after the welcoming exercises marched to Copley Hall, where their se- eret deliberations” began, Following the reading of reports a great deal of busi- ness was rushed in and referred to com- mittees. Grand Sire Carlton reported that a re- guest had_been received from Brother Badley, who s with the United States army in Manila, for permission to estab- lish the order in the Philippines.. The grand sire recommended that action to this end be taken by the Sovereign Grand Lodge at this session. He also recom- mended legislation by which members of the order serving in the army may be ermitted military lodges or associations, fimited to consultive, or fraternal ses- sions, strictly prohibiting initiations or conferring degrees. He reported the or- der in forelgn countries as growing and prosperous. A request has heen recefved or the establishment of the order in the Argentine Republic from W. D. Mayer, United States Consul at Buenos Ayres. Grand Secretary J. Frank Grant pre- gented a voluminous report. Grand Treas- urer Richard 8. Muckle made nis report, which, summarized, shows: Cash balance, $68,058; received from grand secretary, $57.401; total, $125,460; payments, $64,516; total balance, $60,843. Committees were then appointed. The session adjourned until to-morrow morn- ing when the election of officers will be the important business. The Odd Fellows to-day sent & message to President McKinley bearin, to him and to the salfilers ang the army and navy. P S— SAN PEDRO HARBOR WORK. Construction of the Breakwater Soon to Be begun.

S M0 g Adams a Theatrical “Angel.” SACRAMENTO, Sept. 19.—George Ad- ams, one of the owners and managers of the scenic spectacle “The Battle of Ma- nila’" which gave exhibitions in Snow- flake Park last week, was examined in the City Justice’s Court this afternoon on a charge of having obtained $60 by false retenses. He was discharged. Adams as been playing the role of a theatrical “angel,” having sunk $830 in “The Battle of Manila” enterprise. —— Gold Amalgam Stolen. VANCOUVER, B. C., Sept. 19.—A tele- gram from Lillooet states that 800 ounces of gold amalgam has been stolen from the Golden Cache mine. It was the re- sult of a three weeks’ clean-up and was worth _about $10,000. There is no clew to the robbers. S No one will use a fountain pen after greetings sallors of trying & “Koh-I-Noor'* copying pencil. * |E R village of San Francisco and who con- tinued unbroken misslonary labors for fif- ty-flve years and passed a phenomenall useful life in Christian influence upon all continents and almost all islands of the sea, had come to California to rest and recuperate, the committee ?roposed that the conference adopt a resolution of wel- come, expressing the profoundest venera- tion for this honored man of God. The resolution was adopted by a unanimous rising vote, after which the Bishop gave an_eulogy upon his venerable co-laborer. The report of the committee on educa- tion contained the most important action of the day In the conference. The com- mittee propofed to take care of the large debt now resting on the property of the University of the Pacific by unifying the indebtedness and runding it by issuing $ worth of ten-year 5old-bem1nx bonds at 5 per cent, the bonds to be se- cured by trust deeds to the Columbian Banking Company of San Francisco. The bonds are to be floated by popular sub- scription and other means invoked by the laity of California. This action was unan- imously adopted by the conference. Several gifts to the University of the Pacific were reported. Dr. Farrar of ¥'~taluma gave 40; Mrs. Woodward of Saratoga, twelve acres of land valued at $2850; Joseph Shepard of Poiat Arena, 320 acres of timber land valued at $2000 Dr. J. E. Stubbs, president of the Unive sity of Nevada, $100. Trustees of the University of the Pa- cific were elected as folllows: Rev. Drs. E. R. Dille, H. B. Heacock, F. F. Jewell, Ell McClish, T. H. Woodward, . Han- son, Messrs, L. B. Hanson, T. B. Hutch- inson, S. E. Holden, L. J. Norton, J. A. Percy, 1. J. Truman, Rolla V. Watt. Referred cases were taken up by the committee on conference relations. The relations of J. D. Henderson and W. C. Sawyver were changed to supernumera and those of T. R. Bartley to effective. A veritable “battle of glants” occurred in regard to a resolution relating to church extension, introduced by Dr. A, T. Needham. It provided that the Church Extension Society be asked for a dona- tion and loan to help the Eighth Avenue Church in Oakland to meet its heavy in- debtedness. The resolution was finally a dopted.

FRESNO, Cal., Sept. 18.—The trial of Frank Darby, charged with killing Louis Boldini, was commenced here to-day. The affair occasions considerable interest, ow- ing to the prominence of young Darby. Last June the young man went to ‘White's Bridge to kill doves. He did lit- tle hunting. Instead he remained all the afternoon in a saloon situated near the bfldfie and late in the afternoon Louis Boldini, with a party in which was Lena Castro, reached the place and went into camp. Darby, by this time intoxicatea, chased the woman until she hid under the bridge. About that time Boldini, who had left the camp, returned and was shot down as he attempted to cross the bridge. He fell right above the Castro woman, and his blood flowed through the cracks in the brl%e to her feet as she crouched in hiding. No one saw Darbg fire the shot, but the evidence against him 1s strong. He is making a strong fight for his life, being represent o odes, wis. mith, 5 Willlams and Frank Short. He has had a number of private detectives working up his case for him. Pacific Coast Pensions.

HAVANA, Sept. 19.—The first work of the American Commission to-mor- row will be to prepare a second series of propositions answering the Spanish reply to the first series sent a week ago to-day. Secretary Girauta of the Spanish Commission was about to take a pon- derous document to the Resolute when Major Glous called, and the response was delivered to him. It somewhat dis- pleased the American Commissioners, especially the date set for the comple- tion of evacuation, February 28, 1899, It has been suggested that the evacua- tlon should begin with Gibara, Nuevi- tas, Cienfuegos and Havana in the or- der named, which is not in consonance with the American terms of experi- menting with a small port before be- ginning at the capital. This was re- garded as a desire on the part of the Spaniards, according to the Americans’ Judgment, to cling to the main source of revenue as long as possible. The Spanish reply also ask# that the soldiers be allowed to depart fully equipped with flags flylng. The Ameri- cans were surprised at the number of troops being placed at so large a figure as 115,000, having expected fewer. There has been no Spanish response yet to the second demand of the Ameri- can Commission in reggrd to the Co- mal, upon which the while question of landing supplies depends. The big Spanish malil steamer Alphonso XIIT leaves to-morrow for Spain. One of her passengers will be Rear Admiral Pas- tor Landero, Captain of the Port, originally appointed one of the Spanish Commissioners. Admiral Landero’s delicate health was the cause of his withdrawal from the commission. e sy TERRIBLE STORIES OF ANARCHY IN CUBA LONDON, Sept. 19.—The Havana correspondent of the Times cables ter- rible stories of anarchy in Cuba and says the American Government is ap- parently attempting to suppress the truth. As an instance, he gives the following story, which he declares was suppressed by the censor at Key West: A band of Insurgents attacked re- cently the Providencia Cigar Factory, near Guines, one of the richest in Cuba. The guerrilla force which the proprietor maintained to defend his property un- til the arrival of the Spanish troops, was obliged to surrender, because the Spanish troops now do nothing to suppress lawlessness. The insurgents invaded the inclosure, where they found a lot of reconcentrados. They stripped the women naked, and plac- ing them in line, fired from behind them at the guerrillas, thus making it impossible for the defenders of the fac- tory to return the fire. The correspondent declares that the most irremediable effect of the pro- longed war in the island is the almost total destruction of the white popula- tion, which has left Cuba almost as black as Haytl.
