THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1899. JAPAN SEIZES ARMS SHIPPED TO AGUINALDO Serious Blow to the Cause of the Rebels. Special cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyright, 1899, by James Gordon Bennett. a + Q . g = with 20,000 stands of e 2 by the Japanese authorities. ANTLA, March 2—Aguinaldo’s army is disheartened as the re- of recent actions. Many anies of the insurgents have retired from the field because their officers sulked. and would not lead their men. One hundred Filipinos ran forward toward the American lines one day re- cently houting: ‘““We don't want any more fight. Viva lo; nericanos.” The local press comments on Gen- eral Rios' failure to obtain the liberty of the Spanish prisoners. Aguinaldo refuses to liberate the priests unless they glve up their landed estates. and he also imposes the condition that the Pope shall recognize the full rights of the native clergy who, because of their rebeliious attitude toward their su- periors are liable to excommunication. The latest news from Cebu is good. The natives are returning to the town and coolies are now willing to work at reasonable wages. Under the native government they asked double pay. Vessels are loading anda business has been resumed. Influential natives of the islands of Malate and Ticao request General Otls to send troops there. They say that 200 men could easily subdue the rebels. The inhabitants are peaceable and are disgusted with the extortions of three successive native governors. The two islands contain 80.000 head of cattle, which constitute the food supply of the rebel army of the south. This is the hottest day of the seas but fortunately all is quiet inside an outside the American lines, and the majority of the men are kept in the shade. The United States tramsport Morgan City has arrived here. The wives of the officers and other women passen- gers were not 1 to land, the au- thorities con: the conditfons ashore too unsettled. The outposts beyond San Pedro Ma- cate were fired upon by the rebels from the walls of the Guadalupe church. A gunboat advanced 300 ds beyond the lines and cleared away the enemy with Gatlings. No casualties are re- ported. General Miller has been ordered to quarter his troops in Iloilo in the cu. tom house or other public buildings and authorized to make the nece v changes at a cost not to exceed $40.000. the sa to be met from the public revenues collected in Iloilo. WHY GERMANS ARE LEFT TO AMERICAN PROTECTION BERLIN, March 2—A high German authority, who prefers to be nameless, | assures the correspondent here of the Associated Pre: that the motives which induced Germany to intrust the protection of Germans in the Philip- pine Islands are simple. The Kaiserin ‘Augusta and other German warships in the Far East are needed in Chinese waters, ow to the recent disturb- and Germany feels that German sts are safe under the protection of Americans. This impli of cours a high compliment to the United State but it is only in sonance with sev- eral previous declaration mad by Baron von Bulow, the German Minister of Foreign Affairs. Regarding Samoa, the same high Ger- man authority said Germany was awaiting the initiative of the other powers. 1f the division of the islands is to be carried out the officials German Navy Department s: man third-class cruiser Falke will be relieved by the German fourth-class cruiser Sperber. The new German gun- boat Yagur is going to China, making a total of twenty-five German war- ships on foreign service. - ADDITIONAL REGULARS ORDERED TO MANILA | WASHINGTON, March 2.—The Sec- retary of War has just ordered the re- inforcement of General Otis by six reg- iments. These are the Sixth Infantry, now at San Antonio; the Sixth lery, scattered along the Atlantic Coast stations; the Ninth Infantry, at Madi- son Barracks; Thirteenth Infantry, in New York State; Twenty-first Infantry, at Plattsburg, N. Y., and the Sixteenth Infantry, at Fort Crook and neighbor- ing posts in the Middle West. These Pears’ To keep the skin clean is to wash the exeretions from it off; the skin takes care of itself inside, if not blocked outside. To wash it often and clean, without doing any sort of violence to it, re- quires a most gentle soap, a soap with no free al- kali in it. Pears’, the soap that clears but not excoriates. All sorts of stores sell it, especially druggists; all sorts of people use it. MANILA, March 3.—Itis reported here that a steamer arms and ammunition, which were bound for the Philippines, has been seized in Japanese waters { lew Artil- | regiments have been ordered to make ready to proceed to San Francisco and thence to Manila. In answer to the direct question as to Wwhether or not the regular troops are intended to relieve a corresponding number of volunteer E nila it was said at the War Department that while this probably would be the it was not possible yet to make a atement. This means that if > reinforcements arrive at Ma- nila the conditions are satisfactory the Volunteers will be brought home, but if Otis shall have need for all of the combined force then they must wait. The reinforcements are made up of troops who are not only regulars in the full sense of the term, but who have been through the Cuban or Porto Rican campaigns. They know what it is to be under fire; how to hunt Indians and to fight in tropical jungles. m replacing the same numbe nteers General Otis will have a majority of regulars in his command, omething the War Department has earnestly desired to bring about at the earliest possible moment. The _posi- tion of the American commander at Manila alsc will be safeguarded against | the effect of a sudden and forced dis- charge of volunteers by the ratification of the peace treaty. DEWEY WANTS THE SMALLER GUNBOATS WASHINGTON, March 2.—Admiral Dewey is again pressing on the Navy Department the urgent need of vessels of light draft as a means of communi- cation between the small islands of the Philippine group. ;To this end the gun- boat Vixen, which figured bravely for a vessel of her light caliber at the out- set of the Cuban campaign, has been | ordered to be i diately fitted out at | the Norfolk navy yard for sailing for | Manila. This will take about a month, and it probably will be three or four months before she joins Dewey’s fleet. | Besides the Concord, which is perhaps | too large to be classified as one of the small craft, the only light vessel now in the Phiiippines available for running | waters are the Petrel na. The Castine and the re now speeding in that di- rection, but the small craft equipment there will still be inadequate. The de- partment is anxious to afford Admiral | Dewey all the assistance possible. He | has repeatedly called attention to the | great importance of this work and has| emphasized the fact that it is light ves- | sels, fit to skirmish about in the shal- | waters and to run in and out of | harbors where the larger ones would be useless, that he wants rather than the heavier types. - | ADDITIONAL CASUALTIES AMONG TROOPS AT MANILA WASHINGTON, March 2.—The fol- lowing bulletin was posted at the War Department to-day: “MANILA, March 2.—Adjutant Gen- eral, Washington: Casualties near | Caloocan—First South Dakota, Feb- ruary 27, Company B, Private Norman H.

Information ob- tained to-day indicates that the ap- pointment will probably be given to | Lawrence Townsend, now Minister to Portugal. He has had considerable dip- lomatic experience, having been secre- | tary to the American legation at Vien- | na before his appointment to Portugal | 1t is mot intended to accredit the Mi ister to Spain until after the ratifica- tions of the treaty have been exchanged in Washington. TRANSPORT SHERMAN HAS REACHED PERIM ISLAND ISLAND OF PERIM, Straits of Bab- El-Mandeb, Mareh 2.—The United States transport Sherman-arrived here yesterday on her way to Manila. The Sherman left New York on February 3, and has on board the Third Infantry of regulars and one battalion of the Seventeenth Infantry. DEWEY WILL BE AN ADMIRAL TO-DAY ‘WASHINGTON, March 2—The com- mission of George Dewey, to be an ad- miral in the navy, has been made out at the Navy Department and sent to the White House to' be in readiness when the bill creating the office of ad- miral is signed by the President. It is said here to-night that the bill will be signed and the admiral notified by cable of his promotion to-morrow. REBELS TAKE NO AMERICAN PRISONERS WASHINGTON, March 2.—The War Department officials pronounce absurd the characteristic Filipino Junta story l*o#M‘ +H Near | to the effect that Aguinaldo has taken several hundred American soldiers prisoners and removed them to the in- terfor. As a matter of fact, General Otis’ bulletins have accounted for every man in the American army at Manila, and there is not on record a single case missing. Secretary Alger has brought the report to the attention of General Otis with a view to securing the most specific denial. INSANE PATIENTS TO WORK A FARM Innovation at Stockton for Which the Legislature May Grant an Appropriation. STOCKTON, March 2—What kind of farmers will the patients of an insane asylum make? That is the question which arises with the announcement that a truck farm is to be operated in connec- tion with the blg asylum at this place. The board of managers has reason to ex- pect favorable action this week by the Legislature on its request for an appro- | priation with which to purchase land to | undertake this novel venture. It will be |an innovation which will be closely watched by other institutions of the kind throughout the land and by those who wish to see State institutions put as near | as_possible upon a self-sustaining basis. The tract of land it is proposed to pur- | chase is on. the San -Joaquin River, five | miles from the asylum. It is fertiie and | wéll adapted in every way for truck farm- |ing. There are about 100 acres in the | farm. It was impossible to procure land | adjoining the all within the city limits, and town lots Svould be rather expensive even for a rich | iment upon. The working force to the number of about 100 a day is to be conveyed to the farm every morning and returned in good | season to_the lum, and_ eventually. when the North-street canal is opened to the river, the m may be reached by the water route, the canal runs along the northern boundary of the asylum grounds. There are about 300 men of young and State to expe medium age, physical strength and llgfh:.“ B o perience around the grounds | s 'who will be available the work. Exp has demonstrated that considerable work can be got out of the patients, as in nearly every instance they are daft on only one or two subjects. They are | whimsieal about their worlk, but what the overseer lacks in quality he_ will have in Quantity. Many of the patients are pos- sessed of a distinct aversion are patients and o that they e o so. There is sald cannot be forced to do { in_dealing acy is all-effective but diplomacy I Whenic with this class of unfortunates. | strike seemed to be imminent the induce- | ment of extra tobacco was held out as an incentive for industry among those af- flicted with laziness. Tobacco generally had the desired effect, and the “kickers would resume their spasmodic efforts at | work. The idea relished by those who reside near the ?ao:m.e or ‘even in this city; but the board of managers will probably surround them With such safeguards as to obviate any excuse for a public protest. The under- taking is at best an experiment, and no one except a few of the asylum directors Seems to anticipate that the farm will reduce the asylum expenses to any notice- able degree. The only benefit will be in Supplying work for patients. The physi- cians, as a result of experience and ob- cervation, have found that work has been beneficial in many cases that have come under their care. But the experiment, from a financial point of view, is at least worth watching. THE PLANET JUPITER'S ERRATIC MOVEMENTS Professor George W. Hough Thinks He Has Made an Important Discovery. CHICAGO, March 2.—Professor George . Hough, the astronomer at the Dear- born Observatory in Evanston, has made public a new discovery in regard to the surface rotations of the planet Jupiter, Which is completely at variance with the existing belief. It is the general tenet of astronomers, and the statements are em- bodied in the most recent textbooks on the science, that the surface rotation of the planet Jupiter is similar to that of the sun, being quickest near the equator and slowest in the high latitudes near the oles. PO his concluslons, based on a long rec- ord of observations extending =~ over twenty years, and which he has just com- leted, Professor Hough announces his elief that the surface of the planet Ju- piter rotates upon its axis in separate en- velopes or strata. Professor Hough further discovered in a rotary movement, and this also sup- ports the ring or strata theory, strength- Phing Professor Hough's belief of many years that Jupiter is in a gaseous or plas- tic state.

Grover Cleveland passed through Washington this afternoon, bound for the South on.a duck shooting expedition. He is accom- panied by Robley D. Evans (Fighting Bob). John D. Spreckels and ex-Senator Felton were at the Perinsylvania Railway | station at the time and had the pleasure of greeting the ex-President. Mr. Spreck- els and ex-Senator Felton left for Phila- delphia, where they will remain_for sev- eral days, then proceed to New York and thence to San Francisco. - Rainfall in Sonoma Valley. SONOMA, March 2.—Up to noon to-day nearly an inch of rain had fallen in this valley during the present storm. This afternoon a gentle rain again set in, with ‘the prospect of a heavy precipitation. Farmers, fruit raisers and dairymen are pleased with the prospects, which were never. brighter in t..s valley in March. Grain is_growing rapidly, and there is feed in plenty for stock. There will be a good yleld of fruit of all kinds, except apricots, which were injured by last sea- | son’s drought. — - Sundry Civil Bill Conference. WASHINGTON, March 2.—At 11 o'clock to-night, 'when the conferees on the sun- dry civil appropriation bill adjourned, they stated that they had not yet reached a final agreement. TheK had, however, cleared away many of the items of dis- agreement, although the most important subjects, including the Paris Exposition and the Pacific cable, were still open.

DUST CLEARED AWAY Archbishop Ireland Rightly Inter- preted the Views of the Sovereign Pontiff. Special Dispatch to The Call. ROME, March 2.—The im- pression prevails here, now that the dust has settled and things can be plainly seen, that the Pope’s letter to Cardinal Gibbons approves real ‘“Americanism” and condemns those who had misrepresented it. The Pope col- lected, examined and definitely repudiated all such misrepresen- tations. Incidentally he believes that the things so alleged never ex- can Bishops would have de- nounced them, and his Holiness thus vindicates true “American- ism.” Archbishop Ireland’s letter ap- pears to have emphasized the Pope’s views, and it is generally understood that Cardinal Ram- polla, Papal Secretary of State, has assured him that the Pope never condemned and never in- tended to condemn real “Ameri- canism,” declaring also that Archbishop Ireland had rightly interpreted the views of the Pope, and urged him to make this fact known. NICARAGUA INSURGENTS ARE NOW DISPERSING Cowed by the Joint Action of the United States and England in Sending War Vessels. COLON, Colombia, March 2.—The United States cruiser Detroit, Commander J. H.

CONDITIONS NOT FAVORABLE DR. TERWAYNE CONTEMPLATES A NEW VENTURE. With His Associates He Will At- tempt to Reproduce Dawson City at the Paris Ex- position. Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., March 2.—Among | the recent arrivals in this city from | Dawson are three of more than ordi- | nary interest. They are Count E. de| Rouloux, M. P. E. de Vick and Dr. | Terwayne, a party, of noted Parisian | aeronauts and scientists, who went north about a year ago, having an| idea of attempting an aerial voyage into the polar regions in search of An- dree. They left the balloon in Van- couver (it was afterwards sold to the United States for war purposes and was used during the unpleasantness with Spain), and went north to famil- jarize themselves with the conditions | existing in the Yukon Valley. | To The Call correspondent Dr. Ter- wayne explained that he very soon abandoned the idea he had formulated, first because of the difficulty of obtain- ing the necessary chemicals for the manufacture of the inflating gas, and principally because the climatic con- ditions were distinctly unfavorable for aerial navigation. An ascent would be impossible at Skaguay because of the prevalence of contrary winds, and in the passes it would be too dangerous for similar reasons. Further north the entire absence of wind prevented any possibility of success, and so the doctor was compelled to reluctantly abandon his cherished enterprise. Arriving at Skaguay on his return journey Dr. Terwayne received the.in- telligence of Andree’s remains having been found, and he congratulated him- | self and companions upon the fact that they had not braved the same fate upon what would have proved a hopeless quest. Dr. Terwayne is nothing if not orig- inal. He has conceived a scheme dar- ing in its originality and magnificent in its possibilities. It is nothing more nor less than an imitation of the Klon- dike in Paris, and the doctor is has- tening as fast as steam can take him to the French metropolis to arrange, if possible, for the necessary space either in the exposition grounds or ad- jacent thereto. Interested in the scheme are some of the millionaires of Dawson, and money | is the least momentous consideration to the enthusiastic and vivacious | Frenchman. The plan is to construct a Teplica of Dawson’s main street—log cabins, dance halls and all—peonle it with genuine Klondikers, and also to show an actual representation of the mining operations as carried on along the creeks. There would be so much realism about it that gold dust would be scattered about and be washed un in orthodox fashion, and as far as pos- | sible the scenery of the Klondike cap- ital would be duplicated. “Of course,” said Dr. Terwayne, “it is uncertain. It is possible though, and if I can get the ground I shall show the Parisians what Dawson Iis like.” “You can tell the readers of The Call,” continued the doctor, “that there will be an epidemicin Dawson this year; they care for nothing but money, and all the filth is allowed to remain on the streets—it is horrible. And I can also tell you that men in Dawson are not earning the money they were. Many will work for little more than a living, but there is little work doing, and I was paying the highest wages to my party of any employer, 85 cents per hour. The royalty is made the excuse for suspend- ing work on many claims, the men thinking it will be taken off. “I can give you some news that will interest Californians,” said the doctor. “The Berry Brothers, who hail from there, were in danger of losing their rich claims on El Dorado. The claims are very valuable and they were taking out over $150,000 a season. The lease lapsed some time ago and by a mis- take in the date they failed to renew it until one day after the time allowed. In the meantime an intimate friend who knew the workings of the claim stepped in and jumped it. The brothers protested, but the Dawson courts held that the jumping was quite legal and the owners had to pay $40,000 to get their property back. Nebraska’s Deadlock.

Beyond the expenditure| of $3,000,000 for the improvement of the | property generally, and another $2,000,- | 000 which is to be set aside for the work | of elevating the tracks of the company at Chicago, it is understood that LheI syndicate has not yet made any defi- | nite plans for the future management of the road.

Mr. Black- stone was offered the chairmanship of the executive committee, but declined it. The other officials of the company ent positions. Chief among the men who owned and have sold the road were Marshall Field, A. C. Bartlett, A. A. Sprague and John J. Mitchell. The price paid, counting in the bond- ed debt, is $74,505,676. With the tidings of the consumma- | tion of the deal came the report that the new owners of the Alton would sell its share in the Union Depot Company, owning the Union Depot terminals at Adams street, and would become les- sees of the Chicago Railway Terminal Company, with its passenger station at Harrison street and Fifth avenue. The purchaser of the Alton's share in the Union depot, according to the report, will be the Pennsylvania. The latter road wants this terminal for its Panhandle line. 3 The sale of the Alton will, it is said. have a far-reaching effect on the rail- road business of the entire country. Transcontinental trains running from tidewater to tidewater without change and without breaking up, even at Chi- lcago or St. Louls, are now a probabil- ty.

TOBERMORY, Scotland, March 2.— The Dominion line steamship Labrader, from St. John, N. B, for Liverpool, ran ashore about four miles from Skerry- vore on Wednesday morning. Captain Erskine, her commander, has sent the following dispatch to the agents of the steamship at Liverpool: “Labrador ran on Mackenzie Rock in a thick fog at 7 o’clock yesterday morn- ing, four miles from Skerryvore. The ship was caught amidships, the seas breaking over. Holds Nos. 1, 2 and 3 were scon full of water. The passen- gers and crew were saved in the boats.

If the ship is not broken up will endeavor to save the mails when a steamship Is obtained.” The Labrador had a good passage un- til Sunday, when she entered a fog bank and lost her bearings.’ Skerry- vore light was mistaken for Inistrahull light, on the north of Ireland. Most of the passengers were still in bed when the steamship struck and there was much excitement, but the passengers were calmed by the assurances of the captain, the boats were lowered with- out a hitch and all on board left the steamship in safety. . The passengers and crew lost every thing they possessed. The women a children were put in the first boat and the other passengers in the second boat. The crew of the Labrador tock the other boats. After three and a half hours the boats met the steamship Viking from Nor- way, which took them on board. When the Labrador was last seen she was settling down by the stern. The passengers of the wrecked steamship are full of praise for the Labrador’s officers and crew and for the conduct of the captain of the Viking. Agoncillo, the Filipino representative, who ran away from the United States on the outbreak of hostilities at Ma- nila, was a passenger on the Labrador, and behaved like an arrant coward when the vessel struck. OBAN, March 2.—A half dozen of the rescued passengers of the Labrador have arrived here. All speak of the suddenn and completeness of the disaster. One lady was obliged to leave jewelry worth $3000 behind her, and an- other passenger, a man, left $1500 in cash. The lighthouse steamer left Oban this afternoen to try to take off the passen- gers imprisoned in the . Skerryvore lighthouse and to salvage the mails. CAUGHT AT SACRAMENTO.
