4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1899. Filipino Insurgents Profess Great Hatred for Americans and Display Posters Inscribed “Liberty or MANILA, Jan. 9 (via Hong- rong Jan. 12).—The stiuation here hourly becomes graver. The second proclamation issued by General Aguinaldo states that if the Americans attempt to take 1loilo hostilities will commence. I visited General Aguinaldo’s] outposts around Manila on Sat- urday and Sunday. = The -native troops seemed enthusiastic at the | idea of an attack upon Manila. On all houses were displayed flaming posters bearing this in- scription, “Independence or| death.” It is understood- the native| troops in the environs of Manila number 30,000.

WASHINGTON, Jan.. 12.—The “Sécretary of War was much gratified this morning by the receipt of the following .cable- gram at 7:20 o’clock: “MANILA, Jan. 12.—Adjutant General, Washington: Conditions apparently improving.

General Aguinaldo's soldiers, | one and all, are longing to attack | Manila. They declare they will| except no terms except absolute independence. News 'received‘ from Iloilo to-day is that the American troops have not yet landed. Women and children have left Iloilo, and banks have removed their treasure to war- ships. The natives have poured kero- sene over every house in town in order to set them on fire if the Americans seek to force a land- ing. Thousands of natives are leav- ing Manila. The markets are bare of provisions. The First California Regiment, which embarked a week ago in five steamers, presumably for Iloilo, are at this moment disem- barking. This would indicate that General Otis has abandoned his designs upon Iloilo for the present, or that he requires all his men to defend Manila, THE RIVER AT ILOILO HAS BEEN BLOCKED BY NATIVES MANILA, Jan. 12.—The situation at| Tloilo is unchanged. The Filipinos are unceasingly active day and night. On Saturday they loaded some lighters with rock and sank them at the en- trance of the river, blocking the chan- nel for all vessels with the exception of launches. The lights have been ex- tinguished. Order, however, is main- talned with severity and offenders are promptly shot On Sunday one of the Arizona's boats, manned by soldiers, was carried on by the ebb tide to Quimares Island, and while attempting to land there armed natives assembled on the beach and compelled the Americans to retire. The Filipinos refuse to have any dealings, with the Americans. Vegetables and fruit are not obtainable, business is suspended and the warehouses are filled with rotting sugar. | At Manila the situation is critical, bat pacification possible in spite of the unyielding attitude of the Filipinos. It is reported that the rebel Government at Malolos is willing that the Ameri- cans should establish a protectorate on | the condition that they nromise to give | the Filipinos absolute independence within a stated time. It is also said that the Filipinos will demand official | recognition | Efforts are being made to bring about another conference with the rebels. The educated Filipinos are anxious to avoid trouble and it is hoped that the mil- | tant Filipinos will recede before wiser | counsel. In the meantime the tension is extreme on both si b : FRIENDSHIP OF GERMANS | AND AMERICANS AT MANILA | NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Major Al-| phonse von Sonnenburg, the German | militar expert who was at Manila during the blockade by the United States navy after the battle of Cavite. | and who is now in this city, speaking | to-day about Rear Admiral Dewey. | sald: { There were never any honest differ-| ences between Dewey and the German admiral, Von Diedrici there was only a_theoretical difference’ about the inter- | pretation of one word in the expression “droit de visite” — the right of search— \at was the meaning of visite, for the | ms of search were different toward | rent kinds of vessels, toward mer- | chantmen and ships of war.

Even the Spanish non-combatants were granted this privilege. The only condi- tion made was that those steamers which. being in a blockaded port, belonged to the Government of the United States, should return to Dewey's hands after the sur- render of Manila. Furthermore, he grant- ed that in the case of a typhoon all these steamers of refuge might come over and anchor with the American fleet at Cavite. Asked if German military men gener- ally who had seen the run of events at Manila. held the same opinton of Dewey, the major replied that they did. The question was asked: ‘“What are going to be the future relations of Ger- many and the' United States-in rezard to possessions in the Eastern archipel- ago?” Major von Sonnenburg replied: “Ger- man and American interests through- | out the whole world run along parallel lines, and parallel lines, you know, never meet. I do not see how any ill- feeling can arise between the two great peoples.” Questioned about the attitude of the native Filipinos toward the United States, Major von Sonnenburg was em- phatic: “The Filipinos will fight,” he said, “unless you give them what they want. I believe they will not lay down their arms until they get self-govegnment.” SRl STRONG OPPOSITION TO PEACE TREATY WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—Little busi- ness was transacted by the Senate in open session to-day. Sixteen bills on the private pension calendar were pass- ed and a joint resolution extending the thanks of Congress to Miss Clara Bar- ton and other officials of the Red Cross Society for their beneficent work in Armenia and Cuba were adopted. In the executive session the proposi- tion to debate the Paris treaty in public was discussed, but no conclusion was reached. Senators Hale and Hoar announced themselwves openly during the session as determined to vote against the treaty, and while the discussion was in progress, a number of Democratic Sen- ators held a conference for the pur- pose of deciding upon a course of an- tagonism calculated to secure its d feat.

During the general debate | two set speeches were made agalnst | imperialism by Carmack and Gaines of | Tennessee. The diplomatic and con- sular bill is the sixth of the regular | appropriation bills to pass the House. Seven budgets yet remaip to be acted upon. The bill, as passed, carries $1,- 705,583. In his speech, Carmack protested | against launching this Government on a career of conquest and criminal ag- gressfon. The President, he declared, was now waging war upon his own re- sponsibility, for his own purpose. While the svar against Spain had been blessed of God, this war for the conquest of the Philippines was a crime against liberty and the curse of God was upon | it. It revolutionized every tradition of | the republic. It was being entered upon | thoughtlessly and recklessly without | considering the cost. It wasin utter con- | tempt of the solemn warnings of the | greatest and wisest of our statesmen. | The flag was to be kept floating over | the Philippines, but not a single free | man was to stand beneath its folds. A country that was mnot fit for a free man's home was not fit for a free man’s flag. (Democratic applause.)

He wanted to know if we could serve God and Mammon at the same time. Carmack was liberally applauded and congratulated by his colleagues when he concluded. Gaines (D.) of Tennessee followed with an argument against the power of the United States to acquire terri- tory except for the purpose of making States of such territory. FILIPINO REFUGEES TELL QUEER YARNS HONGKONG, Jan. 12.—A steamship Jjust arrived from Manila brings a large number of rich and influential Filipinos and their families, who have left the Philippines owing to the situation there. The refugees say the landing of American troops at Iloilo would be treated as casus belli, and that the Filipino army thereupon would attack General Otis at Manila. The Fillpino Government has offered an asylum in the province to foreign families, including Spaniards, who are | now inhabiting Manila. The Filipinos here say that ten Amer- ican volunteers jumped overboard from the transports bound from Manila to Iloilo, swam ashore and said they had not volunteered to fight the Filipinos. The report is not confirmed. INTERESTS THE COAST. Pensions Granted Westerners and Army Orders Issued. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan, 12—By di- rection of the Secretary of War Second Lieutenants William C.

NAPA, Jan. 12.—If the killing of Al- bert Cook was not the result of an act of self-defense by Jesse Walters, the Oakville capitalist, it was one of the most cold-blooded, cowardly and delib- erate murders ever perpetrated. And each day adds strength to the now gen- erally accepted belief that it was the latter, and each passing hour augments the bitter sentiment against Walters. In the general condemnation of the al- leged atrocious crime that is heard on every side, ex-Sheriff McKenzie comes in for not a small share of the blame. All through Napa County the tragedy, though it occurred one week ago to- day, is the still absorbing topic, as Wal- ters is and his victim was well known in this section. Interest was intensified by the sensa- tional testimony which was forced from ex-Sheriff McKenzie yesterday by Dis- trict Attorney Bell. This brought Mrs. ‘Walters, the wife of the prisoner, di- rectly into the affair, and made a dra- matic climax to the many sensational features that have already. developed. His testimony was that he had been asked by Mrs. Walters to give employ- * ment to a cousin of hers; that he had employed Cook, who came to him under the name of Doerman, on the repre- sentation that he was the cousin of Mrs. Walters. This testimony made a deep impression on the Coroner’s jury, and speculation was indulged in to-day by people here whether the finding of the Coroner’s jury would not implicate ex-Sheriff McKenzie in the alleged mur- der as an accessory before the act, on the theory that he was a party to a conspiracy which resulted in the in- veigling of Cook into McKenzie's stable and his subsequent killing. Should the Coroner’s jury go to this length, the authorities will cause the arrest of Mc- Kenzie. This information was vouch- safed the representative of The Call at the office of the District Attorney. In the minds of those connected with the prosecution there is not the slight- est doubt that Cook was foully killed. This confidence is based partly on the evidence already glven at the Coroner’s inquest and partly on testimony not D.A.DUNLAR SHERIFF OF NAPA COUNTY. 170 R (s I ibadiits Weapons Used by the Principals in the Napa Tragedy. made public, but In the possession of the District Attorney. It is claimed that there will be no difficulty in con- victing Waiters. All three bullets fired by Walters struck Cook, notwithstanding that Wal- ters, according to his original state- ment, was under fire when he first shot. Only one of Cook's shots went home, though he fired four shots, and is said by Walters to have taken the initiative. All the missiles that plowed their way into Cook’s body show a range that indicated his back was toward Walters when the latter fired. The testimony of Fred Jacks was that the sound of the first two shots was considerably louder than some of those which followed. The importance of in. theifact thit ‘Walter’s weapon was a 44-calber Smith & Wesson, while that of Cooksg was of 32-caliber dnd a much smalleryevolver in every particular.- At the jnquest, |’ which will be resumed to-gorrow, Jacks’ testimony will be corrojorated by that of A. H. Daniels, an ex-Tustice of the Peace. Jacks keeps a bicyile re- pairing establishment next door ty Mec- Kenzie's stable, and Daniels and facks were in the shop when the shootinz oc- curred. In addition to Daniels, there will ‘es- tify before the Coroner’s jury to-mmr- row District Attorney Bell, who is re- ported to have some startling reveli- tions to make; Maurice O’Connell, why will give important testimony regard. ing Walters’ movements in Napa on the morning of and just preceding the time of the tragedy; Sheriff D. A. Dunlap, who will testify concerning the weapons and the incidents immediately following the killing, and another witness, whose | name has not been disclosed, who will | testify to having seen Walters hanging about in the neighborhood of McKen- | zie's stable and closely observing the[ entrance to it before he finally en- tered it. Since the testimony by him yester- | day ex-Sheriff McKenzie-has worn a more accentuated look of worry, and | the change in his appearance was the | cause of remarks among his friends | and acquaintances. When interviewed I by The Call representative to-day he admitted being aware of the public sentiment and opinion regarding his connection with the affair, and made | the following statement: “I had no knowledge that' the man kidled was Cook until after the terrible event, when the corpse was recognized by Mr. Coward as that of Cook. Be- sides, I did not know that Walters was coming to the stable that day. It would be unreasonable to suppose, if I were a party to this matter, that I would want to be a witness to the crime. “So far as my wanting to send ev-| erybody away from the stable that | morning, there is nothing in it at all. " Tt | was merely by chance that there was | none of the employes in the stable at | the time. The prosecution, I know, | are making much of this fact. | “I am innocent of everything and am | perfectly willing to make known all the information I have. If Mr. Walters | came here because he got wind of Cook | being employed in the stable he has | placed me In a very nasty position and | any friendship I had for him should | cease. | “1 want to say, further, that I never | had any communication with Cook, | either by letter, telegram or telephone, | before he came here. I suppose he | came in response to a letter written to | him by Mrs. Walters, telling him I would give him employment. I did not know where he was located. Iu fact, his employment was a matter of littls or no thought to me. I had ten years’ 44 CALIBRE. SMITH & \WESSON. HoPkins scALLEN 32 CALIBRE. business as Sheriff to wind up, as I was about to go out of office, and I had sickness in my family, so I had enough on my mind without thinking of hiring stable men.” Among the matters under investiga- tion and which may be expected at the examination to-morrow is the wound of Walters' and the pistol found near Cook’s hand. One of the theories held by the authorities is that the wouna may have been self-inflicted, and that the smaller pistol may never have been used by Cook or been in his- possession. An effort is being made to trace the history of the weapon. No one has thus far been found who ever saw a pistol in Cook’s possession or heard of his carrying one.

The ground is thoroughly soaked, and In the low places water covers the land. Giant powder was exploded last night in celebration of the deliverance from drought. The greatest change .has taken place between San Lucas and Bradley. What were dry, sun- baked plains forty-eight hours ago are now great flelds of water, with all of the water courses overflowing their banks. At a point a few miles south of San Lucas the rallroad track was partially sub- merged’ and the foundation of a cattle guard so badly washed out that trains were delayed.

STATE. ; COMMITTEE FIGHT TO DEPOSE THB CHAIRMAN. ATTEMPT Fing]l Action Goes Over for Omne Week, but the Stewart Men Have the Upper Hand. g Stectal Dispatch_to The Call. X, Nev., Jan. 12.—At the Silver e Central Committee meeting following resolution was in- frman: of the tion for the r party in 'ts platform decla ection” of Willlam M. Ste toiithe United States Senate; and whereas, sald W. E. Sharon can no linger hold said e; there- | fore Resolved, That sald W. Sharon be re- B. quested to tender at once his resignation as chairman of the Central Committee. This was opposed on the ground that the gubernatorial contest took precedence with the committee. It was laid on the table temporarily and Governor Sadler was allowed to select a committee, con- sisting of one from each county, to ha ble his fight in the contested election ca Money was subscribed to furnish the sin- ews of war for the contest. On a motion to lift the resolution from the table a hot fight ensued. Sharon was charged by members of the committes with having violated party pledges, Shar= on in defense charged Stewart with treachery. The resolution was finally taken up by a vote of 3 to 9. After a long debate it was decided by a vote of 23 to 19 to adjourn the meeting for one week, and the secrctary was instructed to put in the call that the object of the adjourned meeting would be the deposing of Sharon from the chairmanship. The staving off of the vote for one week is claimed as a victory by the Newlands people. The Stewart men, however,- claim that they are willing to give people of the State a week's time to discuss the matter and allow the central committee men to in- struct the proxies. They say they car- ried their point in having the full pur- pose of the meeting published in the call, and that the vote, 3 to 9, is significant as expressing the sense of the meeting They had full power with the proxies in their hand to administer full punishment to._ Sharon had they felt disposed, but giving their opponents another week was in the interest of fair play. This is the first preliminary skirmish of the battle, and both sides claim the honors. The Stewart men were in high feather to-day over the report that the anti- State Silver party Stewart men were getting ready to run William Sharon in_ case New- lands cannot get sufficient votes. They regard it as a sign that the Newlands people realize that they cannot count sufficient noses to win. Newlands has been in_communication with A. C. Cleveland, who is now sick at the Arling- ton Hotel, threatened with pneumonia. Overtures were made to Cleveland yesters day, and as an immediate_result the word has’ gone out from the Newlands head- quarters that “Sharon will be' thrown into the breach if necessary. This statement was made in the' Entérprise, Newlands® organ, this morning, and is regarded as printed by authority. LOST DURING THE BTORM. Iron Mountain 7P‘szpector Believed to Have Perished. REDDING, Jan, 12—To the list of the lives lost in the great snowstorm in Shasta County will doubtless have to be added the name aof Cal Krocher, who has been missing for four days. He was a+ prospector, reslding at Iron Mountain. He left his cabin last Monday for the moun- tains to the north in search of two pack- horses. A search party, consisting of M. R. Adams, Krocher’s partnér, and two hired men, left Redding' this morning to look for the missing man. Krocher is an old mountaineer and ordinarily is per- fectly at home in the hills, but owing to the heavy storm which set in after his de- parture he is supposed to have lost his way in the deep snow and perished from exhaustion and exposure. A young man named Harknéss was a victim of the snowstorm of New Year's day. He fell exhausted on the Clear Creek divide. He was rescued, but died soon afterward. . Willlam Goodall. of Shasta sought refuge in a tunnel from the fury of the storm, was penned in for days, dug his way out and reached the Camden’ toll~ house ‘more dead than alive. It is be- lieved that other cases, perhaps of death, will come to light with'the melting of the snow and the resumption of communica- tion with the less frequented sections. —— Poisoning Wild Geess.
