All fears of a native up- rising in the city were dispelled by the promptitude with which it quelled the outbreak on Monday evening. The streets were de- serted last evening by 9 o’clock and not a light was to be seen in the native quarter. The Filipinos, acéustomed to Spanish methods, are constantly inquiring of the American sol- diers when the prisoners are to be executed.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8.—The Herald’s ‘Washington correspondent sends the following: Aguinaldo’s revolution on the Island of Luzon has received its death blow, and the backbone of the revolt on the island of Panay been broken, either by the peaceful or forci- ble occupation of Iloilo. This is the Philippine situation as viewed In administration circles. The first conclusion is based upon dis- patches received this morning from General Otis announcing that Aguin- aldo’s influence throughout the Manila section of Luzon had been destroyed and that the insurgent leader had ap- | plied for a cessation of hostilities and a conference, which application Gen- | eral Otis had declined to answer. The second is based on the belief that by this time General Milller, in command of the American troops at Iloilo, has received instructions to at- tack and has commenced operations against that city, and it is expected that by Saturday dispatches will be received at the War Department an- nouncing its occupation by the Ameri- can forces. No instructions were sent to General Otis to-day regarding his treatment of the insurgents, and none beyond those cabled several days ago and the gen- eral instructions under which he has been acting will be forwarded. The President has placed the conduct of the campaign in the Philippines en- tirely in the hands of General Otis and Rear Admiral Dewey. The ‘action of General Otis in declin- ing to answer Aguinaldo’s application was undoubtedly due to his desire not to recognize the self-appointed dictator in any way nor to give him an oppor- | tunity to treacherously reorganize his forces and endeavor to re-establish his authority. Aguinaldo will be required | to either surrender himself or he will be captured by force if it is possible to do so, but in the latter case he will un- doubtedly be treated more harshly than he would if he were to deliver himself up to the American troops. With respect to his followers it is stated by administration officials that | they will be compelled by General Otis to lay down their arms and return to their ordinary avocations. | Should Aguinaldo be captured the | President will give no instructions as to his disposition unless General Otis makes a recommendation, and if it should be apparent that he will be a | disturbing element in the Philippines it | is probable that he will be brought to | the United States as a prisoner of war and held for a time in military con- finement. As indicating | administration not to send | the intention of the reinforce- | ments to Manila, I was told to-day that | | the quartermaster general had directed the release from contract of the steam- ers Zealandia and Valencia, which are now returning to San Francisco from | | the Philippines. | | On all sides unstinted praise is heard | of General Otis and the officers. who served under him during his brief but exceedingly lively campaign. His work | and the work of his officers and men | has been effective in every instance and | apparently free from the many bpetty | | complaints with which the department was annoyed during the previous cam- paign. In every battle there have been numerous instances of personal hero- ism, and the insurgent army was cut to pieces with comparatively small loss | to the Americans. In every engage-| | ment the superb fighting qualities of the American soldiers have been dem- onstrated, to the surprise and dismay of the Tagallos.

HARRY A YOUNG. Dr. Harry A. Young of the Utah battery, who, after having been captured by the insurgents at Manila, was murdered and his body mutilated, had only recently been appointed by Governor Wells assistant surgeon of the Utah battery, with the rank of secdnd lieutenant. Dr. Young was a son of the late Lorenzo D. Young and a nephew of the late Brigham Young. His home in Salt Lake City was at the family resi- dence, 1079 Ninth East street. Dr. Young graduated in medicine about four years ago, and after taking a post graduate course at Johns Hopkins returned to Salt Lake City to practice and met with success. When the war broke out he enlisted in the artillery as private and was later made quartermaster sergeant. He had a wide circle of friends in Salt Lake City. The part he took in the battle recalls the large number of the same family who served in the late war. They are Colonel Willard Young and Major Dick Young, sons of Brigham Young; Captain Wash Young, Joe Young of Tor- rey's regiment, and Lester Young of Astor’s battery; Walter Clawson and Wil Young, with Caine's cavalry, who are grandsons; Harry and John, who are nephews of Brigham Young. Five others enlisted, but were not accepted. -5-5-n-8-4n H-E-E-E-N-u-u | -E-E-0- 805 ENEEEEEa : : GALLANT KANSAN FALLS FIGHTING In Lieutenant Alford the Army Loses One o Officers.

BRAVE FIREMAN’S DEED OF HEROISM One burly Coloradan, who was discussing the capture of the water works, said it reminded him of a rabbit drive on the Colo- rado plains. Standing on a Locomotive Cow- catcher, He Snatches a Babe From Death. SAUSALITO, Feb. 8—With the shrieks of a frantic mother ringing @ in his ears, and with the grip of only one hand holding him in position on the cowcatcher of a locomotive thumping and pounding over the rails, : under full pressure of the air brakes, Manuel Viera, a fireman in the ® employ of the North Pacific Coast Railroad, this evening heroically res- cued the 18-months-old child of Deputy Marshal Eugene Cramer from 5 [ 3 death. The 4:20 train to San Rafael pulled out of the depot and was Just under good headway when Engineer “Jack” Driscoll saw the baby boy toddle through the gateway of its father’s residence and in the direction of the railway track. In a second he was horrified to see the little fel- low stumble over a rail and fall, to lie and kick its heels contentedly in the air, utterly oblivious of the iron monster rushing on him. Driscoll reversed the engine, set the air brakes and then waited with blanched face for the end, realizing that the distance was too short to permit the locomotive to come to a stop. k Fireman Viera took in the situation and acted in an instant. With a spring he went through the window of the cab and ran along the side of the boiler to the cowcatcher. Clinging on with one hand, he leaned out and caught the child up just as the sidebar touched it. An un- steady nerve or five seconds’ delay and the little fellow would have been mangled into an unrecognizable mass. Mrs. Cramer, who had witnessed the feat from her window, fainted as the baby was handed to her by its brave rescuer. Viera is the pride of the force now and was warmly praised by Su- perintendent Shoemaker. $ $ Il 0000000000000000000600 ratic course. The officers of the mail boat, seeing the Japanese vessel com- ing direct toward their own, ran her astern at full speed, but they were un- able to avoid the inevitable crash. The Amagi Kan struck the Peking right amidships, carrying away a life- boat and about twenty feet of the rail and indenting three of the plates. Luck- ily the plates were not cut through. The blow was a sliding one, thanks to the skillful handling of the two ships when within a few yards of each other. The warship did not stop at all. For a time it was feared that the Peking was in immediate danger, and orders were at once given for the boats to be got out. The shock of the col- lision brought all the passengers and most of the crew on deck, and in a few minutes all the boats’ crews were at their stations and everything was ready for the lowering of the boats. The City of Peking was able, however, to proceed on her voyage to Hong- kong, where she was repaired. The Empress of China brings news of a still further misfortune which has befallen the big freighter, Kinshis Ma- ru, out of Seattle for Japan ports. Two days out from here on the last trip (she left on December 28) she experienced a gale, with mountainous seas. While the crew was engaged in securing the | hatches five men were swept overboard and drowned. Heavy seas carried away a good portion of the ship’s bulwarks and companion ways. News comes from Kobe that five sail- ing vessels foundered during the gale on January 25. TWO TRAMPS STILL HELD ON SUSPICION May Not Be the Outlaws Who Fired Upon the Ione and Jack- son Stage. JACKSON, Feb. 8.—There were no further developments to-day to connect the twe tramps arrested on suspicion yesterday with the atterfipt to hold up the Ione and Jackson stage. They are still held in jail pending further investi- gation. The officials are not satisfied that they are the right persons and the search has been prosecuted to-day with unabated energy. Constable Kelly and Deputy Parker of Jackson visited the scene of the shooting to-day. Searching among the | high rocks close to where the shooting | occurred they discovered some old clothing and rags and an old sledge- | hammer. The latter article is deemed | important. It has a rough handle, and | therefore is not such an implement as could be used for blacksmithing pur- poses. It is more likely that it was taken frem a ranch. It weighs about | eight pcunds. The officers hope to be | able t¢ find where it was taken from. Fgihiyid TOUCHED THE JUDGE’S HEART. | Aged ex-Convflct—'l;Juapes With a Light Sentence. WOODLAND, Feb. 8.—George Ross, an old man past 50 years of age, was given shelter by Mrs. Milton Enyart Monday night. He disappeared during the night, taking with him a set of | bharness, which he sold. He was ap- prehended at Blacks and brought back | to Woodland. He waived time, pleaded | guilty, asking leniency on the ground | that he was hungry, had no money and | could not obtain employment. In view | of these extenuating circumstances the | court sentenced the old man to thirty | days in the County Jail. Deputy Sheriff Hughes was at one time general overseer at Folsom State | Prison. When he went {o lock up the prisoners in their cells he recognized Ross as an ex-convict, who was re- leased about three years ago and who has served more than one term on con- viction of burglary. His real name is De Witt Lynn. He is now congratu- | lating himself upon having received | such a light sentence before the fact| of his prior convictions became known. | e St BANKER PARKINSON DIEC AT PALO ALTO PALO .ALTO, Feb. 8.—Dr. B.

CHICAGO, Feb. 8.—"I will not fight now nor at any other time while I am champion unless the contest is allowed to continue until one man is unable to respond to the call of time.” said Bob Fitzsimmons to-day. The remark was in answer to questions asked him regarding the $30,000 purse which the Lenox Athletic Club of New York is contemplating offering for a twenty- five-round contest between Fitzsim- mons and Sharkey. “Where do you expect to fight to a finish?”’ Fitzsimmons was asked. “Well, Dan Stuart and Curson City are good enough for me,” was his re- ply No Corbett-Sharkey Contest.

RELAND AND THE VATICAN Archbishop Is the Man of the Hour. RECEIVED BY THE POPE AND BESEIGED BY NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENTS. It Is Positively Stated That the Noted Prelate’s Trip to Rome Has Given Great Pleasure to the Holy See. Bpecial Cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 18%, by James Gordon Bennett. ROME, Feb. 8.—Archbishop Ireland is the man of the hour. Everybody is talking of him. Last Wednesday he was received by the Pope. The inter- view lasted nearly an hour. Up to the present Mgr. Ireland has declined to be interviewed, therefore anything re- ported as having taken place or as having been said during the reception is pure imagination. The Hotel Bristol, where Mgr. Ire- land is stopping, is besieged by a le« gion of reporters and correspondents, whose one effort is to ascertain whether Americanism is triumphingand whether the Pope approves or condemns the lofty, bold, liberal ideas of the Arch- bishop. Another question is whether Mgr, Ireland will represent America at the disarmament conference. If we may believe persons usually well informed nothing positive can be said on the sub- Ject for some time. What reporters and correspondents have not been able to learn from the mouth of Archbishop Ireland the Her- ald has succeeded in ascertaining. “This,” said a man in a position to know, “is the truth. All reports from Rome and elsewhere about the alleged discontent of the Vatican with Arch- bishop Ireland and all things related as to a summons from the Pope to come to Rome and explain his conduct have proved absolutely groundless. They were inspired by his adversaries. Mgr. Ireland came to Rome entirely of his own volition, and in doing so has given the greatest pleasure to the Holy See. He has been received most cordially by the Pope, the Cardinal Secretary of State, the Cardinal Prefect of the Propaganda and _other dignitaries. What has been said at these audiences is not known. “The Archbishop refuses to speak on the subject, but it is made manifest in many ways that he Is persona gratis- sima to the church authorities, and the Pope is disgusted and distressed at the violent attacks made as soon as his voyage to Rome became known. St e i | CONVINCED BY LOUD’S EARNEST ARGUMENT WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—Senator Per- kins to-day introduced an amendment to the river and harbor bill increasing from $184,000 to $214,000 the appropriation for work on the Sacramento River under the ntract whicn the Secretary of War is uthorized to make for carrying out the projected improvement. The Senate Committee on Commerce is glving hearings to Senators who have proposed amendments to the river and harbor bill as it came before the House. Californta items will probably remain un- -changed excepting that relating to the Sacramento River. Congressman Burton, chairman of the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors, speaking of the appropriation for the re- moval of Arch and Shag rocks, for which his bill makes provision, said: ““This item would not have been placed in the bill but for the prompt action of Mr. Loud. The committee had discussed the advisability of making the appropria- tion, and had voted not to make it, when it was decided, as a_matter of courtesy, to call in Mr. Loud. His statement to the committee was so clear and convincing, showing the absolute necessity for this improvement, that the committee revised its action and placed the appropriation in the bill. I had been strongly opposed to the whole business, but Mr. Loud changed my mind and the minds of the committee by his strong reasoning and earnest presentation of the case.” g INDIAN BILL PASSED. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8—The Senate confined itself largely to transaction of routine business to-day. The Indian ap- propriation bill, which has been pending for several weeks, was completed and passed. The legislative, executive and Judicial appropriation bill was taken up, but after twenty-four pages of it had been disposed of it was laid aside for the day. A few measures. of minor importance were passed. ADVERTISEMENTS. If Death had to sign the warrant for every vic- tim that he claims as his own, there would be fewer prema- ture deaths. In the major- ity of cases, men an an may not realize it, but the little ills that they neglect are simply the danfier signals that warn them of the approach of big and serious maladies. A well man or woman gets up in the morning happy and clear-headed and alert, both mentally and physically. They have a hearty appetite for breakfast. They go about their work with alacrity. and a sense of pleasure. The day's end finds them tired, but not fagged out. They still have the energy for an evening’s emjoyment. Atnight they find sound, refreshing slum- ber. They do not have frightful dreams during their sleeping hours, nor. are they drowsy during their waking hours.
