TROOPS NOT YET LANDED NATIVE PRESS IN HUMOR. TUGLY General Rios Ineists That the Situa- tion of Affairs in the Islands Is Most Grave. Cable to The Call and the New York ald C“xv)-rxgmcd, 1899, by James Gor- ett. MANILA, Jan. 11.—The terican troops remain at Iloilo, their transports being anchored fose to the town. They could take the place in twenty minutes the order was given. The - pro-republican press of the Philippines continues to pub- lish inflammatory articles against annexation to the United States. The general situation is un- clianged. Aguinaldo has or- dered his army to act onthe defensive only. A s MADRID, Jan. 11.—General | Rics, the Spanish commander, has reiterated the assertion that the situation of affairs in the Phil- ippine Islands js most grave. The rebels, it appears, are concentrat- ing in the neighborhood of Man- ila, with the intention of attack- ing that place. Great prepara- tions are being made for the de- fense of the city. The Spanish general also as- serts that the natives of the Vis- cayas have again refused to per- mit the Americans to land, threatening to resist by force if an attempt is made to do so. The Americans, therefore, according to General Rios, have abandoned the idea of disembarking, and he confirms the previous statement to the effect that they are unwill- ing to bombard Iloilo “because the European houses are stocked with petroleum with the view of being set alight by the American shel General Rios alleges that the are determined to fight cans before reinforcements re from the United States. In conclusion General Rios says naldo’s proclamation has “produced immense enthusiasm among the rebels.” PHILIPPINES WILL ;NOT BE HELD PERMANENTLY WASHID 3TON, Jan. 11.—A climax d to-day In the debate on n of expansion which s in in the Senate.

He laid down the broad osition that to adopt the Vest reso- on was to declare that our fathers had- brought forth a nation that was fnferior to all other nations, regardless of the generally accepted idea that one natfon was the equal of another and all £qually restricted. He maintained that the right to acquire territory was an inhérent right of natjonality, and that :we have the right to make war and te énter into treaty agreements, it fol. lows logically that we have the power to acquire territory by conquest and to agsume the responsibilities that may accrue. therefrom. Foraker’s strong assertion that the avquisition of the Philippines was tem- porary in character created a sensation in- the chamber. He maintained, how- ever, that we have a legal right to hold the. islands permanently.

Then we can act intelligently, and I know we will act Jjustly.” | In conclusion, Foraker said he would | place in the record the recent proclama- tion of the President to the insurgents as a declaration of the spirit and purpose of the United States. When he took his seat there was a demonstration of approval | from the galleries, which was unchecked | by the presiding officer. At the conclusion of Foraker's speech Allen of Nebraska continued briefly the debate upon the constitutional questions relating to the acauisition of the Philip- pines. He combated the position taken by Foraker, maintaining that the United States Government could not constitution- ally acquire the Philippine Islands with- out the ultimate object in view of admit- ting them into the Union as a State, ‘At 3:10 o’clock, on motion of Davis, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, the Senate went into executive session. % At the conclusion of the executive ses- sion Morgan of Alabama announced that Sullivan of Mississippl was not ready to proceed with his speech on the Nicaragua canal bill, and on his motion, at 3:35 p. m., the Senate adjourned. pe Ly ol for t BATTLESHIP I0WA IS COMING TO THIS PORT WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—The War Department is negotiating for a charter of the steamer Centennial, now at San Francisco, to carry stores and com- missary supplies to Manila. Captain Barker to-day cabled the Navy Department from Callao, Peru, that he was about to sail with the Ore- gon, the Scandia and the Iris directly for Honolulu on the way to Manila. At the same time the battle-ship Iowa, which had accompanied the Oregon around from New York, started north- ward for San Francisco in company with the collier Justin and the supply steamer Celtic, her voyage being about 4000 miles in length. TREATY OF PEACE IS REPORTED FAVORABLY WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—The Senate Committee on Foreign Re- lations to-day authorized Senator Davis to report the peace treaty The committee was in session for only an hour, and the greater part of this time was consumed in waiting for a quorum, the Senators meantime discussing informally the pro- There was only a bare quorum of the committee present, but Senators Cullom and Clarke, who were among the absentees, sent Senators Morgan and Gray were the only Democrats in attendance, but the other Democratic members—Senators Daniel, they indicated no opposition to immediate action.

During the executive session of the Senate Berry moved that the debate upon the treaty should be conducted in open Senate, but the motion went over until to-morrow. There were only casual remarks upon the policy of publicity, and these were generally favorable to the removal of the secrecy injunction from the treaty and as gener- ally opposed to the cpening of the doors of the Senate for the debate Senator Davis gave notice that he would ask for the earliest pos- gible consideration, giving the impression that he would move to o Qflfififififltfl&fiQQfififiQ?Qfifififififififlfififififinfl o obedience tents and purposes it ceased | rt‘nlm(:it‘l;ll\r:'_ weeks ago.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—The Herald's Washington correspondent sends the following: to the War Department to-day that no change had occurred in the situa- tion in the Philippines. It is under- stood the authorities have been told the wishes of the Filipinos respect- ing the future government of the isl- ands by the representatives of Aguin- | aldo, who conferred yesterday with the American officers, and careful con- sideration was given them during the | conference held at the White House this afternoon by the President and | Secretary of War. ‘What the result of the confernce was could not be learned, but thers is reason to believe the administration will not budge from {ts position to es- tablish peace and order in the islands. The Filipinos are to be impressed with the good-will and friendship which the United States has for them. But there must be recog- nition of and obedience to the sovereignty of the United States. General Otis’ action In appointing commissioners to meet representatives of the insurgents is approved in official circles here, not necessarily follow that the in- surgents are thereby recognized as belligerents and that the United States is treating them as such. The confer- ence was held to impress the natives with the friendly purpose of the United States. This policy will be continued until ‘a satisfactory agreement is reached, which will mean obedience to the desires of the United States or until the treaty of peace s ratified, when a different policy may be put in force. The friends of Germany are much in- censed by the report that the Berlin Government is secretly aiding Aguin- aldo. It is true the attitude of Ger- many several months ago gave rise to apprehension to the Administration, but has since given strong indications of her Intentions to be strictly neutral, and has gone go far as to decline to permit her consular representatives in the Philippines to take care of the in- terests of Spanish subjects. Germany, to quote a gen- tieman withwhom I talked, is too friendly disposed toward the United States to take any untoward steps regarding the Philip- pines. It may be that Aguinaldo is obtaining foreign support, and the authorities are looking into the subject. As soon as the treaty of peace is ratified, the administration will be in a position to protest to Great Britain or China, in case any further flllbustering expedi- tions start from their jurisdiction for the archipelago. \ fsZeReRaReReFaRagaleFeFoReRaeRuTaRaoRoRaReRuTaWeRugoguguPaLaRaeTePaFuPaTuPagaReFeuTapsFoPeTuageTageugeTeTutouRuRaRaRoReReguta] Major General Otis cabled | It is declared that it does | FRANCE SUBMITS AN ULTIMATUM TO CHINA Demands Cash the Murder Fleury, which strained relations between the two result in war. behead the French priest. as a reward for laying down his district of Yunnan, out.

A desperate hand | to-hand fight ensued, in which about twenty men on both sides were badly | cut and bruised. The Japs, although outnumbered two to one, held the Rus- sians in check until reinforcements ar- rived from the city in the shape of stu- | dents from the gymnasium. With poles | and clubs the Russians were belabored until they screamed for mercy. They fled back to the city and demanded pro- tection at the Japanese barracks, which was grudgingly granted them.
