WASHINGTON, -Jan. 4— ministration- _circl were thrown into consternation by the receipt of a dispatch from Gen- eral Otis to-night giving the de- tails of a plot among the Fili- pinos, under the leadership of \guinaldo, to resist Ameri ol in the Philippine Islands by force of arms if necessary.

Why, if Aguinaldo’s influence is feared or if he is believed to be rgent is inciting the natives to insurrec- tion, he is not under arrest, is not explained. In‘fact, it is believed by army officers that Aguinaldo has been arrested and that the revolution or insurrection against American authority is really on, and that this portion of Otis’ dis- patch is being withheld from the public.

When - a military official was asked to-night: how many men Aguinaldo had'in the vicinity of Manila he said: “It is pretty hard to tell where the army leaves off and the mob begins.” If any notice was received from Otis up to midnight that he had issued his proclamation to the Filipinos it was not made public, and at the War Department, when told that The Call had a cable to the effect that the proc- lamation had been made, it was deemed of great im- | a dispatch last’ night Otis ex- | | | First California Infantr | !

Of course a landing could have been effected by force at any time the forts were shelled, the city re- s will show a chan duced and the insurgents driven out. Such a course, however, is_just what is most desirous of | General this Government avoiding, and_ consequently Miller has used only, conciliatory ures in dealing with the native: In the meantime, however, Aguinaldo | has been scouring the adjoining islands for native reinforcements, which have | poured into Iloilo every day. greatly increasing the army there. It is thought now that should General Miller attempt to land in spite of the prohibition of the native chiefs a bloody battle might ensue. The last dispatch received at the War Department from General Otis an- nounced that he would send the First California Regiment to reinforce Gen- eral Miller. The published dispatches from Manila this morning announced | that this had been done. The regiment was embarked on the transports Cam- pania and Maritima and convoyved to Iloilo by the gunboat Concord. This action of General Otis was some- what of a surprise to department offi- cials, as he had been instructed to do nothing which would weaken his force at Manila. He was not absolutely bound by those instructions, however, and the fact that he has sent reinforce- s to General Miller is thought to -ate that he regards the situation at Iloilo as General Miller has now something over 3000 men under him. The cruiser Baltimore is the flag- ship of the small naval detachment there, which is commanded by Captain Dyer. The insurgent forces numbered omly about 1500 when the city was turned over to them by the Spaniards, but they have been greatly augmented since. Tt is feared that Aguinaldo is organizing his forces to resist Americans wherever resistance is possible, and a dispatch announcing that a conflict had taken place would cause little surprise at any time. ST THE SPANIARDS DENY — CHARGE OF BAD FAITH MADRID, Jan. 4—The statement that the Spaniards evacuated Iloilo in order to render the situation difficult for the Amerlcans is positively denied. The Government, immediately after the treaty had be-a signed, ordered the Philippines evacuated as quickly as possible, in order to avoid further bloodshed and to conform to the ex- pressed wish of the Americans, who were very exacting. especially in the case of Cuba. An interview with an ex-prefect of a province of the Philippines s published here, in the course of which he is quoted as saying: “President McKinley has shown com- plete ignorance of the situation in the Philippines. When the Americans oc- cupied Manila there were only four in- surgent provinces.

According to the Measure to Reor- ganize the Military Establish- ment, the Troops Would Uost $82,052,865 Yearly. Specfal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—The cost of the proposed military establishment under the Hull bill reported to the House, as compared with the present regular military establishment, not counting the volunteer forces incident to the war, is shown in letters sent by Adjutant General Corbin to Chairman Hull of the House Military Committee. It gives the present cost of the regular army at $24,443,480; cost under the pro- posed bill, $82,053,865; increase of cost, $57,710,231. The cost as applied to the three main departments of the army is as follows: Quartermaster’s department, present cost, $7,107,000; proposed, $40,013,246. Subsistence department, present cost, 739, proposed cost, $10,148,478. Pay department, present cost, $14,496,- proposed cost, $31,891,943. General Corbin inclo letters from Quartermaster General Ludington, Commissary General Eagan and Pay- master General Stanton showing the details of the comparison. The main items of increase in the quartermaster’s department are: Transportation, from $2,300,000 to $17,- 700,000; clothing and equipment, from $975,000 to $5, regular supplies, from $1,800,000 to $7,200,000; barracks, quarters and military posts, from $1,170,000 to $4,000,000; hospitals, $90,000 to $360,000; incidental expenditures, $600,000 to 00,000. General Eagan gives the increased cost of each branch of the service, in- cluding active, sick and convalescent. General Stanton says the pay esti- mate does not cover the 20 per cent to enlisted men during time of war or the proposed 25 per cent to those serving in distant land: MAJOR ESTERHAZY SUMMONED TO APPEAR Will Be Free From Arrest While Going To and Coming From Paris.

CUBANS ARE TO BE AIDED COMMUNITIES CANNOT HAVE ALL COLLECTED. However, Proper Orders Have Been Issued for the Relief of Dis- tress Existing in Various Quarters. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—Regarding the sensational reports from Santiago that the whole province has been in- flamed by the recent order of the War Department “concentrating all customs money in Havana,” thus threatening a stoppage of all public improvements and threatening to throw thousands of Cubans out of employment, it may be authoritatively stated that any excite- ment existing in Santiago is due to a misapprehension of the War Depart- ment’s order. It seems to have been taken for granted that the order con- templates sending all currency collected for customs dues to Havana, and thus | cutting off the Governor of Santiago province from the employment of local labor. The fact is that the officers in charge of customs at the various ports of entry are merely ordered to “make weekly reports to the collector of cu toms of the island at the chief port of all transdctions at the sub-port over which he may have jurisdiction, with copies of entries of merchandise duly certified.” The customs from all the ports of the island are to be used for the benefit of the Cubans, not only in Havana and Santiago, but elsewhere. Expenditures will be divided as equit- ably as possible, so as to relie di tress existing in various quarters. It/ would be just as equitable, it is argued, for the port of New York to retain all the customs funds collected there for expenditure on the island of Manhattan as it would be for Havana or Santiago or any other town in Cuba to gobble all of the customs receipts for expenditure within its own borders. So far from the War Department contemplating any curtailment of the relief work in Cuba an order already has been issued to the Governor Gen- eral directing him to furnish work to every able-bodied Cuban applying for it at a fair rate of weekly wages, meas- ured by Cuban standards. The order suggests that the best lines of employ- ment are in sanitary work, road im- provement and municipal work of va- rious sort: It is intended to offcr a chance for remunerative work to all who are able to take advantage of it and to cut off the gratuitous distribution of rations among those natives able to work for what they eat. The employment con- templated will not be offered. however, to any resident of the island who re- tains his allegiance to Spain. A Boy Who Was Too Smart.

After listening long enough to get the thread of the discussion | he took a hand. “Mamma,” Jimmie interrupted, in a voice, “I know a n not three blocks | from here that has given his wife a thing to eat for more than a week.” The good women went into a perfect spasm of indignation, some of them go- ing so far as to declare that the monster should be lynched.
