In the meantime the Filipinos will fight. “A schooner laden with ammunition | has been captured, but two others have arrived safely and have discharged their cargoes. Aguinaldo is on his way here. He will recapture the lost posi- tions, organize a guerrilla warfare and commence a general attack. The Gov- ernment and Congress of Malolos are acting as usual and has passed a vote of confidence in Aguinaldo.” HONGKONG, Feb. 11.—The Filipino Junta has posted the following state- ment: “‘A Manila steamer has arrived here with American censorship, giving a version of the recent fight which is ut- se. The Americans commenced bombarding heavily, and by the treach- ery of General Otis, simultaneously by land and sea. Aguinaldo possesses a igned guarantee from sioners that there would be no hostility on their part. Hence the Fili- pino troops were resting and many of the Filipino officers were at the theater on Saturday night and were arrested | shortly before the outbreak. “The bombardment of the defenseless towns of Malate, Paco, Santa Ana and Malabon caused frightful slaughter among the women and children. It is estimated that 4000 of them were killed. The Filipino troops, whose loss was comparatively small, tenaciously held their positions. ; “The conduct of the Amerfcang in the suburbs was outrageous. They com- pelled thé inhabitants to leave their | houses and then shot them down re- gardless of sex. “There is a reign of terror at Manila. Civilians are shot in the streets with- out being challenged. The Iloilo Com- missioners arrived at Manila at the in- vitation of the Americans, and when they were starting to return the Amer: ican soldiers were looting and pillag- | ing. “Aguinaldo sent commissioners to in- quire of General Otis the reason for the hostilities, offering summary punish- ment if the Filipinos were found to be at fault. He received no satisfaction. The Americans are apparently deter- mined on a war of extermination, simi- ar to theéir doing in the Carolines in November, violating the rights cf man- kind and of civilized warfare and com- mitting a monstrous outrage on civili- zation. There is no doubt that the action of General Otis was a political move to influence the vote of the United States Senate, fearing an exposure of the corruptions at Manila. “Four vessels are leaving Manila to bombard Iloilo.” | ment vacated. | Consideration of the legislative, ex- | ecutive and judicial appropriation bill | was concluded and the i!ust before adg\)urnmt‘nL | * During the debate Mason gave notice | | that he meant to continue his warfare in | the interest of the resolution, and th: will refuse to the last to make terms that would meet with the approval of | General Otis, and that when the insur- | rection falls through he will make his bills passed | egcape to the continent rather than re- | main in Luzon.

Congress will be ‘called together soon after the close of this session. Thé authorization by the House Re- publican caucus of a committee to.or- ganize forces for currency legislation ‘was, suggested originally. with a, view to_the possibility of an extra session. If the intention to put the army bill in front of several remaining-appropria- tions for consideration'in the Senate is adhered to it is not improbable that the consequence will be the failure ¢f some of the appropriation bills, even though the army. bill were thus forced through. The fight over the army bill' will be| protracted and intense, and it is.not the.purpose of the administration to sanction any compromise. On ¢ne ‘hand an extra session is threatened if | _the bill, practically as it is, is not adopted, and on the other hand the op- | position professes to feel no fear of an | extra session. Some members of both houses want | an extra session and most of them go | at least as far as to express indifference to the warning ‘of danger of having to | be reassembled. The opinion is ex-| pressed by some of the most careful | observers that the administration is| mere -than half inclined toward an ex- | tra session if the responsibility for its | being called should rest upon the mi- | nority. While there is some objection | to calling Congress together at an un- usual time for the sole purpose of con- | sidering and acting on financial meas- | ures, the fact that it would promote the | desired currency legislation causes the | prospect of an extra session to be looked | upon with complacency by the strong- | est friends of the administration.

The dispatch adds: “At 4 p. m. the American ships o ed firing. Then the army fired three guns, at an inter- val of ten seconds, signaling the ad- vance of the whole line, the Kansas -regiment leading through the ; jungle. ‘The rebels’ left wing was diverted by : Major Bell and a hundred men. It was like clock work. There was no. hiteh .anywhere. | “The rebels, estimated to have num- | bered 10,000 men, were demorglized by | the shells. The Americans advanced | in open order. At 600 yards.there was & halt and then a charge and the reb- els stampeded from their -trenches. which were admirably constructed. The Americans refrained from wasting am- munition but rushed on without firing and used their bayonets and the butts | of their rifles. There was heavy | slaughter. | “The railroad is practically uninjured. The Americans will probably reach | Malabon to-day and Malolos in a fort- night.” . HEALTH CONDITIONS ‘ OF MANILA TROOPS | WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—In re- sponse to & resolution of inquiry ‘the Secretary of War to-day sent to the Senate a statement from the surgeon general in regard to the health condi- tions of the troops in the Philippines. He says that the sickness in some regi- ments has been as high as 17 per' cent, but .that he believes that the average ‘has seldom exceeded 10 per cent. He also says that climatic conditions do not appear, so far, to have been at- tended by unusual mortality. He adds that malarial diseases have caused no deaths, and gives the total death rate as shown by the returns for' July, Au- gust, September and October as equal to 9.36 per thousand, which f{s only slightly in excess of the rate in garri- sons In_the United States in time of -: peace. More than hdlf the deaths were ‘caused by typhoid. * A peculiar fact is noted as follows: Injuries, notwithstanding 127 cases of - wounds received at Cavite and Ma- . ‘nila, give a smaller rate of admissions * than is ordinarily found among United ‘States troops in their home garrisons and the death rate from accidents and | theaters.

The report covers the time up to the end of October only, but the surgeon general says that smallpox has ap- peared since that time in some ‘regi- ments, and that the death rate has been relatively higher from this cause. The surgeon general says there is no accurate data as to when the sickly season begins in the Philippines, but that the generally accepted view ac- credits more fevers to the spring months than to other seasons.

A sort of a free fight ended in the utter defeat and flight of the antl-Imperialists.

While dignified in tone, it was a good deal more energetic_in remonstrance against the conduct of the German officials at Samoa than Mr. White had given expression to or perhaps had even concelved. .But, in: asmuch as every claim of our Gover ment has been based on.a strict adher. ence to.the lines of the treaty of. Berlin, | the German Government has found, itself under the necessity of moving to secure an amendment to. that convention in the line of its desires, according to the usual methods of diplomacy. The United States and British Governments doubtless will | give a ready response to any invitation on the part of the German Government for another conference, providing there is an underslandmg in advance of the objects to be attained. MOB LYNCHES THREE NEGROES IN GEORGIA ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 11.—A telephone message at midnight from Losburg, in the southern part of the State, says a mob took Cupid Redding and two unknown negroes from the jail there to-night and lynched them. The prisoners were deliv- | ered after a short parley with the Sheriff | and the mob at the jail. The prisoners were secured and, according to the tele- phone advices, the mob started for the | woods with them. Governor Candler to-night- ordered a company of State militia from Albany to Losburg to prevent, if possible, the Iynching of a negro at the latter place. It was reported to the Governor by the Sheriff of Lee County that a party of lynchers would tgke the late night train at Smithville and come to .osburg for the purpose of lynching the negroes. The Governor was not informed of the ne- Toes' names, but was told that they had Been arrested and jailed at Losburg dur- ing the afternoon. . : 'Ehe black men lynched are believed to have been concerned in the assault upon Mrs. Roney, which was one of.the most atrocious crimes of the century. In De- cember the housé of John Roney, a school teacher, was entered by Cu Redding and two companions. e leader of the black trio ordered Roney to hald out his hands and, he tied them behind his back, after which they bound him to a box. The negroes then. ransacked the house, and, having completed ‘this part.of their work, Redding attacked Mrs. Roney in sight o her helpless and infuriated husband. PRICES ' OF. MEAT ASCEND SKYWARD LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11.—The wholesale, . price of meat has taken a jump within the dast * week that is phenomenal. In that| itime’ prices have advanced 25 per cent, “and‘“there is no prospect of a decline. The. on Monday are, in cents: Beef, Ti4; veal, T%; mutton, 9; pork, 7%. There has been no such advance since the time of the washouts in 1898, except in a few Isolated cases. The general public is bll!!fulli' unaware of the tremendous increase. It is predicted next week wiil see an advance in retall prices to corie- spond with the wholesale .prices. Beef will reach the highest figure. Arizona has been sugplylng the Southern Califor- nia market, but the uup&:\y has been pret- ty thoroughly exhausted, and now buyers are purchasing cattle in and around Ba- kersgeld and_other northern points and in Nevada. The wholesalers unhesitating- ly declare that beef will reach 9 cents very shortly. The cause of this unusual nSvance is attributed chiefly to the dry weather here_and the severe weather in Oregon and Washington, with a conse- quen! shortage of fat cattle. i e ‘WILL DISCUSS ROBERTS’ CASE. ‘Woman’s Naticnal Conference Opens that there is.a very decided prospect | { How much of the current passed through, . raculous, another warm wave next week and the change is not contemplated with favor by the‘fruit growers.

Crawford, electrical engineer at the power house of the Southern California Power Company. in Santa Ana Canyon, made a short cir- cuit last evening by striking his head, against a live copper wire carrying 30,000 volts, while standing upon a transformer. his body cannot be approximated, but.ft was sufficlent to blow out the fuses”in the power house. Yet Crawford was un- injured by the electric volt, save a slight burn upon the head.

By Bushwhacking Tactics the Na- tives Will Worry the Ameri- cans for Many a Day. Copyrighted, 1899, by the Associated Press. LONDON, Feb. 11.—The dispatches from Manila occupy a prominent posi- tion in the British newspapers, ‘and there is no doubt that the American victories are popular here. The British cannot understand the incredible folly of the Filipinos in forcing. hostilities, which is put forward as proving the correctness of the American view that they are at present incapable of self- government., A The weekly newspapers devote con- stderable space:to the developments of the past week. The Speaker says: ““The American’ course is justified by the account of the fighting, and even more fully by the Filipinos’ own state- ment of their case. Their efforts to starve and worry the American troops into sickness and their generals into concessions culminated with an ‘at- tempt to control the water supply of the city, which would have resulted in intense suffering. to 300,000 people non- combatants. The Americans’ resistance taught the Filipinos a severe lesson on the customs of civilized warfare.” The Speaker predicts that there will be -little more real fighting, expresses the opinion that the real difflculty is how the government of the Philippines is to be carried on, and says: “The only way America can fulfill her mission is by a trained civil serv- ice. The brilllant reputation acquired by West Point, during the past fifty | years encourages the hope that a civil service academy will meet with no less success. Few people take more kind- 1y to training or acquit themselves bet- ter. than the American graduate. He has more adaptiveness than his Eng- -lish colleague; has probably more ener- gy and a stronger will. We have little +doubt .that a trained civil service for her new possessions will show Amer- ica the desirability of a trained civil :service for herself.” . The Saturday Review says: “The :thought of what would have happened at Manila if Aguinaldo’s savage troops had been let loose in its streets-is it- self sufficient to make us view the vie- tory with satisfaction. The revoit, ‘however, is not.likely to end with the slaughter.around Manila. The guerrilla ‘warfare which the Filipine. can wage effectively may tax the resources of the Americans for many a day.” Utterances instructive to Americans, pihg, which is composed of the lead- ing ship: owners of the Ufitéd King- dom. 3 The chairman, in his opening addrgss, which was openly applauded, said that while ‘excellent relationship now existed between. Great Britai and . "America there were questions which would have to be faced and settled. He hoped the Foreign Office would not agree to the abrogation of . the Clayton-Bulwer treaty unless the neutrality of the Nicaragua, canal and non-preferential rates were gyaranteed to Great Britain. The chairmén further . remarked that Great Britain also had the greatest in- terest in the ultimate control of the Philippine Islands, as up to pow the valuable carrying trade. from the is- lands had . been almost entirul({ in British hands, and he urged the Gov- ernment to lighten the heavy -burdens of the ship owners, in view of the in- creasing competition of Germany and the fact that America was doing every- thing pessible te get her trade carried in her own vessels. The Speaker, referring to the fore- going references to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, says: ‘““We do not think both bills hefore Congress are clear and satisfactory to British - interests, and it is desirable that the guarantees should be'stronger than ordinary law.” OF INTEREST TO THE COAST.
