The editor of Oceania thinks the proclamation is the most politic docu- ment ever published in the Philippine Islands, and that it is bound to con- vince the wavering of the folly of fur- ther hostilities. An English merchant says the first lause with reference to the establish- ent and maintenance of American sovereignty and warning the rebels should settle the question in the minds of every thinking Filipino. A Scotch shinowner thinks it does not leave any further doubt as to the policy of the United States, and that, conse- quently, Aguinaldo must submit to the inevitable, as the continuance of hos- tilities is opposed to the best interests of the Philippines. There are persistent rumors to-day that Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, has been supplanted 1h the control of Filipino affairs by General Antonlo Luna, commander in chiéf of the Fili- pino forces. Luna is known as a typi- cal belligerent. ington. The rebels are wretchedly armed, and with prompt action on the part of the American generals could long ago have been subdued. Now the war will last at least another year, and it will require at least 50,000 more troops to conquer the rebels. “I heard definitely just before I took the steamer at Manila that General Otis was to be recalled. The reason for his recall I could not learn, but I heard from one of the officers that he would shortly return home. “The stories that .the Americans slaughtered women and children are ‘all rot. “With forty-nine other foreigners, I undertook to advise General Miller be- fore the fight at Iloilo. Had he not broken faith, there would have been no bloodshed. 1 am thoroughly con- vinced that if the American troops had been landed immediately after the de- struction of the Spanish fleet there would have been no land battle. I have interviewed most of the rebel leaders and know they are determined, able men, fighting hopelessly. Aguinaldo is a weakling and not a true leader. He leans more to surrender than any of his men. Montenegre is the born leader and the general that is the true leader, and he alone is repsonsible for the con- tinuance of the rebellion. “The forelgn powers will be heard from if the war lasts much longer. Ow- ing to General Miller's action they are very antagonistic. In the northern part of the islands business is rutned and many of the foreigners are desperate over their losses.” c g AMERICANS SCORED BY AN ILOILO MERCHANT VANCOUVER, B.

TACOMA, April 5.—Washington Democrats are imitating their New York brethren. The State crganization and local Democrats of the Rich- ard Croker stripe have arranged for a Jeffersonian banquet to be held at Tacoma Hotel on April 13 at $1 a plate. Governor Rogers, Congress- men Lewis and Jones and probably Senator Turner will be present. Other reformers belonging to the Populist branch of the “reform” party claim to be shocked at so lavish a display as will require an out- lay of $1 a plate. Arrangements were accordingly completed to-day for another Jeffersonian banquet, to be held the same evening. It will be called an “every-day” banquet and the tariff will be 10 cents a plate. This banquet is being promoted by the Spirit of the Times, a réform paper, which declares editorially: . “A large number of workingmen, recognizing the ridiculousness of attempting to observe ‘Jeffersonian simplicity’ at $1 a plate, and further knowing that $1 for one mdal is something that the most wildly ex- travagant wageworker never dreamed of in his nightmare of possible prosperity, it can only be honest to exemplify Jeffersonian principles on the exact basis of every-day conditions, they have decided to meet in a social gathering on the evening of April 13 and discuss some of the truths enunciated by Jefferson.” The menu of the 1jgcent banquet will inculde: PO STV ITeQ %Ko D FOOO D DT &L SOSOBO4 e Go0e Soup Beof broth a la cattle trust (not so sloppy as the wave of prosperity).

TWOMEMBERS PERISH| The Explorers Will Remain at Punto Arenas Three Months and Then Start for the Antarctic. to The Call and the New York Bpectal Cable Herald. by James Gor- . Copyrighted, 159, don Bennett. BRUSSELS, April 6.—Fresh details have been received regarding the Bel- gian south pole expedition. The expe- dition when stonned by the ice near Alexanderland had traveled to 71 de- grees 36 minutes, and discovered new lands, seas and many volcanoes. One officer, Lidutenant Danco, who had charge of the magnetic' observa- tions, died in June. Some months earlier the expedition lost a young Norwegian, Wincke, an excellent draughtsman, who illustrated the expedition. The members suffered much from cold in Stepember, when the minimum was 43 degrees below zero. De Gerlache did not state whether he intends returning toward the south pole or coming back to Europe. Doubt is thrown on the matter by the fact that he wires his correspondence will be sent from Punta Arenas. MONTEVIDEO, April 5.—The cap- tain of the German steamer Karnock brought a voluminous report from Lieutenant de Gerlache, chief of the Belgian Antarctic expedition, to the Belgian Consul here, and various dis- patches. The Belgica expedition gath- | ered many various collections. The ex- pedition will stay at Punta Arenas for’ three months and then return to the Antarctic regions. FORMAL INVITATIONS TO THE PEACE CONFERENCE They Will Be Issued To-Day Through Various Ministers, but Bulgaria Is Slighted. NEW YORK, April 5.—A special cable to the Sun from The Hague says: For- mal invitations to attend the peace conference will be issued to-morrow through the Ministers to the Nether- lands of Great Britain, Russia, Ger- many, Austria, France, Italy, Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Luxemburg, Servia, Rou- mania, Montenegro, Greece, Switzer- land, United States, Slam, Persia, China and Japan. The note of invita- tion remarks that only questions speci- filed in the second Russian circular will be discussed. All national political questions will be rigorously excluded. Bulgaria’s dignity has been woundedi by her omission from the list of nations invited to attend the peace conference at The Hague, which includes other Balkan States. She ascribes her omis- sion to the fll-will of the Porte, which she believes has influenced Russia against her. There is reason to be- | lieve, however, that Bulgaria will | eventually be invited to take part in the conference, though it may depend on her behavior during the next few | weeks in connection with the threat- ened Macedonian troubles. POOLING THE BUSINESS OF - LIGHTING COMPANIES Three Los Angeles Corporations May | Soon Arrive at an Under- standing. LOS ANGELES, April 5Tt is stated | in commercial circles that the recent at- | tempts to pool the business of the Los | Angeles Lighting Company, the San | Gabriel Company and the Edison Com- pany, by which they were to district the | city and regulate prices, is still, under consideration. While those interested In the corporation deny to-night that the combination has not fully materfalized | owing to a disagreement among the prin- | cipals as to details, still the di'parlurel of President Barker of the Edison Com- pany for the st to-morrow gives color | to the statement that the trifles whlvhl have been seeming obstacles may be re- moved by the time he returns, In connection with this pc of interests the astounding discovery has been made that the time in which the terms of the conduit ordinance should be obeyed has been by manipulation extend- de from last December until July 3. The last extension asked for was only for three months, which would expire yester- day. It has been discovered that the or- | dinance grants an extension of three | months from April 3. No one at the City | Hall is able to explain how this_deferred date crept into the ordinance. The Edi- son Company is the only corporation that has not conduits all underground. PORTUGUESE FOR HAWAIIAN PLANTATIONS Secret Movement Afoot to Import | Thousands of Contract Laborers. TACOMA, April 5.—Private advices received to-day from Honolulu state a secret movement is under way in Ha- wati to flood the islands with Portu- guese laborers from the Azores Islands, There will be from 5000 to 10,000 im- ported as soon as arrangements can be completed, unless the plan is fore- stalled. They will probably be brought by Italian warships by way of Cape Horn, but it Is possible they will come overland by way of Tacoma, ¥f ships can be found to carry them. This enterprise i{s the result of the approach of exclusion of Japanese by the United States contract labor laws. Secrecy has been preserved to prevent opposition on the ground that it is a scheme to evade contract labor laws. The Portuguese probably will be im- ported'as free immigrants. TO PRISON FOR LIFE.

NEW YORK, April 5.—A Washing- ton special to the Herald says: It is the confident expectation of the officers of the signal corps of the army that within a short time messages can be flashed to and from the War Depart- ment to Fort Myer, five miles away, without the aid of wires. Important experiments already made at Fort Myer by Colonel James Allen, now acting chief of the signal corps, and Lieutenant George O. Squire, have demonstrated that it is practicable to transmit messages by means of elec- tric waves produced in the manner em- ployed by Marconi. These officers have found that at a distanee of 1000 yards they can telegraph any message, and it is intended to increase the distance gradually until the War Department and Fort Myer are connected. Lieutenant Squire told me to-day that he was much gratifled at the re- sults of the experiments,” and he be- lieves that when the experiemntal stage has been passed the system will be of much value for working between the shore and lighthouses, communi- cating between vessels at sea and for marine work generally. Perhaps the most important demon- stration so far made has been the im- | possibility of exploding a magazine on board a modern ship by means of the | electric waves. Lieutenant Squire said that in the first place it would be neces- sary to have an operator on board the ship to be destroyed, and even then it would be impossible to transmit a wave through iron. The placing of the in- strument in an iron cage will prevent waves from reaching their destination and a zinc screen also stops them. On account of the length of the waves their energies are absorbed differently by different substances. Thus water and metal absorb all their energy; ICATING SRR R R PARIS, April 5.—In view of the success of the experiments with the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy across the Strait of Dover the authorities propose to transmit messages to England from Paris. The terminal proba- bly will be the Eiffel tower, the distance to South Foreland being 230 miles. PO P PP R PP + L R R R R R e glass absorbs nearly all, and paraffine | and hard rubber absorb hardly any. | | Thus they move through hard rubber | and paraffine as light moves through | air, glass or water—that is to say, with | hardly any resistence—while glass lets very little of them through and metal and water are impervious to them. Lieutenant Squire estimatés that the waves travel at the rate of 186,000 miles | a second. At this rate they could | reach the sun in eight minutes. In | time of war, Lieutenant Squire states, | | it is possible to fire a gun 500 yards | | away by means of a spark thrown that distance. | Experiments in transmitting mes- sages thus far have been very limited, | as the instruments were received a few days ago. The instruments used | are the finest that could be obtained.’| The messages so far sent have been re- | | ceived without difficulty. The appli- | ances include an ordinary battery and | Morse electro-magnet. When the key | is pressed a current flashes between | two brass globes, causing a spark and setting the electric waves in motion. | | Whenever the sender desires to get in | U | | communication with. the receiver the‘ | pressing of a key causes a bell to ring | \calllng attention to the instrument. | e TRAIN THE GIALS N HOUSEKEEPING Mrs. Weymouth’s Advice to Mothers. Spectal Dispatch to The Call PASADENA, April 5—The second day’s session of the Woman's Pflrlla-: ment of Southern California opened this morning with an increased attend- ance, and at each meeting to-day the auditorium of the Universalist churc was crowded with people—mostly wo- men, of course, though there was a generous sprinkling of men. The pul- pit was freshly decorated with poppies, roses and palms. The ladies sensibly removed their hats and were kept in the vestibule while papers were being read. The first paper of to-day’s session was by Mrs. Orange, who took for her subject “Housekeeping as a. Profession for Girls.” Mrs. Weymouth contended that more attention should be paid to the training of young girls in the duties incidental to keeping house, not neces- sarily for other people, but for them- selves. She said it was evident girls nowadays were allowed to neglect this important branch of education. In the discussion that followed Mrs. Ella L. Sessions of Hueneme spoke in line with the author of the paper and coincided with most of her deductions. Mrs. Sessions of Hueneme and Mrs. Hughes of Iowa led the discussion, bringing out the point that girls were | unwilling to engage in housework out- | side of thelr own homes because they felt they would not be respected in such positions and because they had less lib- erty than in other lines of work. Dr. Black of Los Angeles denied that housekeeping required more brains, but said it required willingness. criticized woman's tendency to think | lightly of men’s work. A resolution, introduced by Mrs. Caroline M. Severance of Los Angele: was adopted, committing the parlia- | ment to the approval of the efforts leading to a perpetual peace, in line with the action of the women of the East, who are hoping for the coming of an era of universal brotherhood. The resolution commended the coming convention at The Hague and hoped that the Czar's disarmament proposi- tlon will be accepted by the world, and that there would be no more war. The afternoon programme included a paper on “Child Study for Women Clubs,” by Miss Virginia Pease of Na- tiomal City. There was a spirited aa- dress on ‘“The Municipality and the In- dividual,” by Mrs. Lou V. Chapin, in which she took the position that so. clalism meant not liberty, but despot. ism; that municipal ownership of utili- ties in this country was dangerous, for the reason that City Councilmen now grow rich in unsalaried positions. Mrs. Mary Darling read a paper on *Oppo: tunities for the Middle Aged Woman, after which the members of the parlia- ment were taken for a drive by the Board of Trade. This evening a reception was held for the members of Women's Fraternal So- cieties, only members of secret socie- ties being admitted. This closed one of the most successful sessions of the Woman's Parliament yet held in South- ern California.

STRIKES ON THE ROCKS NEAR PORT SIMPSON | e | Disaster Overtakes the Steamship | Barbara Boscowitz in North- ern Waters. VANCOUVER, B. C., April 5—The Un- fon Steamship Company’s steamer Cutch, which arrived from the north early this morning, brought the news that the un- fortunate steamer Barbara Boscowitz of Victoria hau for the second time run upon the rocks near Port Simpson. The Cutch | passed the Boscowitz on the 2d inst., and | at that time she was high on the rocks that compose Hankins reef. Captain Newcomb of the Cutch hailed the steamer and ascertained that she had lost her bearings and had struck about two hours before low tide. The master of the Boscow|tz said that if the weather continued fine he expected to float off at high tide. He would not receive any as. sistance from the steamer Cutch. Rough weather would make the Boscowitz a complete wreck. ST, AMERICAN TROQPS ARE DISHEARTENED BY SICKNESS FORT WORTH, Texas, April 5.—Dr. Charles V. Harris of the Medical De- partment, U. S. A., passed through here to-day en route to Washington on im- portant business with the department. He comes from the Philippine Islands and says the reports of the excellent health of the American troops are false. Dr. Harris stated that many United States soldiers, disheartened over their physical condition, deliber- ately place themselves as a target for the enemy’s guns. It is the opinion of Dr. Harris that if the American troops remain in the Philippines any great length of time sicknesv and death is sure to follow. LR Ends Life With Poison.

All indications point to sui- clde by poison. He was born in Indiana, and before coming here was in the employ of the Southern Pacific in Southern Cali- fornia. He has been troubled with his eyes for some time, and this is thought to have led to his suicide. CENTRAL PACIFIC WILL CONVEY THE SOLDIERS LOS ANGELES, April 5—The quarter- master’s department of the United States army will in a few days open bids for the transportation of 5000 officers and men to San Francisco, there to take ship for the Philippine Islands to take the place of volunteers near Manila. Santa Fe will not bid for this transportation. It looks like an exceptionally fat contract, but in reality carries little or no money, and only a land-grant road is able to do the hauling. When bids for the taking of the First New York were asked a short time . ago the Santa Fe made a bid to carry that regiment last. The contract was given to the Central Pacific and its con- nections. The Santa Fe people here say they do not care to carry passengrs at the figures allowed, as the Government demands at the soldiers be carried in battalions in special trains. Thousands of soldiers will be hauled to and from San Francisco before the trouble in the Philippine Islands is ended, and as soon as the Government lien on the Central Pacific has been lifted and that line become a part of the Southern Pacific thes cinch will be removed and (t‘ompetltlon will bring other lines into the Tay. — Letter for the President.

MFULRESLT F MENTAL STRAI A Man From Utah Tells of His Sufferings and Rescue. WORRY AND OVERWORK REDUCE HIM TO A COMPLETE PHYSI- CAL WRECK. The following remarkable story comes from . Mr. T. Ward of Park City, ‘tah, He says: For several years I was broken down in health, my nerv- ous system was a complete wreck, as were also my digestive organs 1 not sleep, could not eat, and was greatly reduced in flesh. 1 'would shake like a leaf at times. Could not think well nor apply myself to business. After trying many remedies without re- sult I learned of Hudyan. I began tak- | ing it, and soon found that I was gain- ing in_strength and had a better appe- tite. One symptom after another began to leave me, ond to-day L find that I am completely cured. Hudyan is a good med- icine and in my opinion no remedy can take the place of it in the treatment of nervous and stomach disorders. Persons who are afflicted with head- ache, dizzy Spells, POOr MEmOry, Nervous- ness, sleeplessness, irritable tempers, cte., are usually suffering from worn-out nervous system. Stomach disorder is very often a complication. Hudyan is an in- fallible remedy in such cases. If the tis- are used up faster than nature can r them it is then that the prgans suffer. It is then you have rheum- atism, neuralgia, heart trouble, nervous pepsia_and other ills. Hudyan being a great blood and tissue builder, it will cure such complaint Since Huydan ¢ nerve and fiber In the hu- cure of all chronic ccmplaints.
