ARIS, Sept. 20.—M. Guerin surrendered at five minutes to 4 o’clock this morning without firing a shot, and was conveyed to prison. His com- panions, fourteen in number. were allowed to go free. Thus the six weeks’ siege ended in sublimely ridiculous style.

At a quar- four-seated cabs arrived with an ambulance to take off the pris- vounded in case of an assault. A company of engineers from company of firemen and a prefect of police next came. Prep- arations were then made to take the fort after three summones by roll of drum. Then the surrender was made. The Government had decided to flood the fort if Guerin had refused to nd had a couple of hundred firemen with steam pumps, fire es- capes and miles of hose. All the buildings around were filled with police and municipal guards. Guerin’s house ig lower than the surrounding edi- fices and the firemen were placed on upper stories of the latter, overlook- ing the fort, prepared to turn on the water as soon as the signal should be given, while below, in the street, the engines were snorting as the firemen fed the furnaces and kept steam at top pressure. Infantry officers and officers of the municipal guard paced up and down during the hours of waiting, glancing up at the windows of the fort, from which, in the dim, gray light of the early morning, could be distinguished a biack flag, hoisted from the second floor by Guerin, and a white sheet hanging down with the device in black letters, “Vive I'’Armee” and “A bas by ter past 5 oners and Versaille: a surrender a les traiteurs.” When M. Guerin’s companions separated they took coaches and were driven @ff. Chanteloube joined his parents. Then the troops departed, fol- lowed by the municipal guards and the police, except a few who remained in the Rue de Chabrol to keep order.

Almost instantly came aid from the Japanese authorities, the cruiser Yosohome being at once dis- patched and the Red Cross Society nding a relief expedition. The troops are loud in their appreciation of Japan- | ese kindness. | A pleasant episode for the ship- wrecked men was the passing of the | scene by the Empress of India. She stopped for some hours and proffered everything which could be done in the way of aid. The damage by the recent typhoon which swept the whole southern portion of Japan is even greater than at first reported. The appalling subsidence of the Besshi mine in the island of Shiko- ku entailed the loss of 600 lives. From | some parts of the south reports still |come in of hundreds of houses de- | stroyed, while every prefecture counts | by hundreds its dead. An interesting incident in the Besshi mine catastrophe was the final saving of five miners who | had been imprisoned in the earth for | six days by the caving in of the en- | trance. i} !

The | FILIPINGS MAY RELEASE PRISONERS Ask for Permission to Hold a Conference With Gen- eral Otis. St Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—Secretary Root to-day received a cablegram from. General Otis that seemed to indicate a weakening on the part of the insur- gents in Luzon. It contained a proffer to deliver the American prisoners who have been for so many months in the hands of the insurgents, and also | sought permission to parley with Gen- eral Otis. This cablegram was at once taken by Secretary Root over to the Cabinet | meeting and formed the main topic for | discussion at the beginning of the Cab- | inet session. However, upon reading | | the message carefully its apparent im- | | portance seemed to diminish. Secretary Root himself did not regard the matter as of importance at this btime. He recalled frequent efforts on | the part of the insurgents in the past to gain time at critical moments by opening negotiations, ostensibly with | the object of making peace, and e was | not sure but this last offer wak some- | thing of the same kind. However. the | Secretary was of the opinion that it | would fail to afford the insurgents any | advantage. General Otis would receive | any messenger and listen to him and | make answer to his proposals, but this | would not restrain the military opera- | tions in the slightest degree, and the | American arms would lose no ground. | no matter how the negotiations turned out. There is a possibility also that the | Insurgents may have become disheart- | ened at the renewed and intense activ- | ity in the direction of reinforcing Gen- | eral Otis and concluded, in view of the | great force gathering to open the cam- paign in the dry season, that further resistance would be useles It is pointed out as a noticeable fact that Aguinaldo’'s name does not appear in General Otis' dispatch, and though this may not be of great significance, still among some of the army officlal it i{s surmised that there are seriou dissensions among the insurgents and | | that, perhaps, some of the discordant \elements are acting on their own re- | sponsibility. The text of the disbalch; iis follows: | _MANILA, Sept. Adjutant General, | Washington: General MacArthur reports | from Angeles the visit of two insurgent | ors with a request for into our lines Ameri to send to Manila a prominent in: nt general officer for a conference. The | | Tequested interview was granted and the | rgent officers at Angeies return north | morning with Information. OTIS. | The capture of Lieutenant | and Gilmore | and his party was one of the most stir- | ring incidents of the insurrection. It| occurred while the cruiser Yorktown was making a surv y coast of Luzon with a view to locating | | some of the detached Spanish garrisons | which had long been cut off from the | populous centers. It was known that a Spanish garrison had been surround- ed at Baler, on the eastern coast. and Lieutenant Gilmore, with a boat’s party from the Yorktown, was sent ashore to reconnoiter the surrounding country. | He divided his command, one party re- maining near the shore, while another pushed inland. This was the last heard | of the lieutenant and the fifteen men who accompanied him. The other mem- | bers of the party waited for a long time, but got no trace of their compan- were obliged to return hout them. at once reported the Department and be- loss to the fore he left Manila used every nos wrn the condition of the | t | ble means to k captive Americans.

Lands- man Silvio Brisolez, Landsman Lyman Paul Edwards and Landsman Fred An- derson. Captain Charles M. Rockefeller of the Nineteenth Infantry is also supposed to be a prisoner with the insurgents. He disappeared last April and no trace of him has been discovered. REORGANIZING THE GUARD AT PASADENA Sept. 19.—Company I, Seventh Regiment, National Guard of Callfornia, reorganized this evening by electing new officers and chos captain Captain D. M. of three wars and perhay in the National Guard service under the staff. Captain Greene has seen sixteen years of actual service. He served in the war | of the rebellion in the Sixth Regiment, | California Volunteers, and the late Hum- boldt County Indian war. He was twi mentioned for gallant service. He enlisted in the Spanish war and was captain of a | troop in the Sixteenth United States Cav- | alry. e is 52 years of age. hree members of the company were removed for the good of the company. They attempted to break up the company by blackballing applicants for member- ship.

Captain_Johnson will leave to-morrow | for San Francisco. He will leave for the | Philippines next Monday and will be as- | signed to the staff of some one bf the gen- | erals by Major General Otis. RECEPTION AT SAN JOSE TO THE VOLUNTEERS SAN JOSE, Sept. 19.—The local Red Cross Soclety is preparing to give a warm reception to the 250 volunteers who will come here Thursday. These are some of the men who have returned from the Phil- ippines and are now w=aiting at the Pre- sidio to be mustered out. They_will be served a bountiful lurch in St."James Park and given a ride about the town and valley. Nothing will be left undone to give them a day of pleasure. ENGINEER JONES DIES OF HIS INJURIES Was Badly Scalded by Escaping Steam in the Wreck at Capitola. SANTA CRUZ, Sept. 19.—A. P. Jones, the engineer who was so frightfully scalded by escaping steam in the collision on the Southern Pacific near Capitola on Tuesday last, died at half-past 6 last evening at his home at Pajaro. Jones had been a trusied employe of the Southern Pacific for many years and was very popular on the road. PASADENA, / | Rudeiy | came again to the white man's burden. IWHITE M BURDEN IN ThE PHILIPPINES The Unitarian Club Discusses It. ol pislign i HE Dutles of Civilized Natfons To- ward the Uncivilized was the sub- Jject for discussjon last night at the annual meeting of the Unitarian Club of California. It was dis- cussed at the Merchants’ Club in the Mutual Life building after one of the most enjoyable dinners ever given by the organization. Fully 200 members and sat at table and enjoyed the dis- n that followed. President Sheldon G. Kellogg presided, and arranged near him were the gentlemen underlined for addresses on the subject. Hon. John Bar- rett, ex-Minister to Siam, was at his left, and Professor Thomas Bacon of the Uni- versity of California at his right. Many other distinguished guests were present. In announcing the subject for discussion President Kellogg said it might properly be called “the white man’s burden,” and he called upon Professor Bacon to lend | the first hand to pass it along. Professor Bacon opened with the state- ment that the Guestion was by no means a new one. Many solutions had been of- fered in times gone by, and now a new | solution was offerable. The problem first | arose, he said, when the first discoveries | of the fifteenth and sixteenth centurfes laid open to the east coast of Europe a multitude of men, alien in race and color, | for whom no provision had been made in the medieval system of European thought, and crudely the Kuropeans of hose times set about solving the ques- tion what to do with them. “The first answer,” continued Professor Bacon, “was direct and easy. It seems a | hard answer to us. It seems one which | could only be suggested by the cruelest | instincts of man, but we misjudge those | persons, who had to solve that problem | and solve it suddenly, if we suppose that there was really in their heart no gentleness, no consideration, no human instinct. Their theory of how the civil- | ized races of the world ought to treat the uncivilized ra how the white man ought to treat the man that was not white—was very simple; the white man ought to enslave the black man. Eve consideration of interest and religion pointed to this solution of the probiem. | What arrangement cowld be better than that which should give money to the | white man in_this world and cternal sal- vation to the black man in the next? | “Portugal and Spain had been- the ex- ponents of this first theory and England and Holland of the other,” continued the speaker. “Their theory was that they should go out and seize the outly parts of the earth, nhabited or uninhabi- ted, and use them for their own behoof. “Verylittle religious zeal,” sald Professor | Bacon, ‘“went into the upbuilding of the | British Empire—very little religious zeal, | indeed. A few colonists on the east coast of this continent were actuated by the religious sense, and founded communities for conscience sake; but mighty little re- ligion had that fine old pirate, Sir Fran- 1 he chased the galleons of ng and captured them for | :if and his queen along the Spanish or troubled the waters of the blue his heel. '8 with What the Engl h and Dutch adven- said Professor Bacon, on this principle, he a: 5 ed, sh Empire in India w; built up.~ He briefly traced the history of English progress in the Far East, and He continued: This new doctrine has grown quietly but steadily. It has permeated the whole f the English people, but it has only come to our notice lately when we became more inter- ested in those things that h found a philosopher in Benjamin Kidd and a poet in Rudyard Kipling. It is known to us as ““White Man's Burden.’ Little signifi- ce it wouid have had for us if there was opening out a powerful sentiment not among the people who have most to do with | was_introduced a | the far ng | R | | $6220 are open book accoun the settlement of the question of the duty of civilized nations toward the uncivilized. The theory of the white man's burden may briefly be stated as this: It is the busi- ness and the interest and the duty of the White man—that is, the man of civilization, to rule, to eare for, to uplift, to enlighten and to’ bring, if possible, into the light of modern civilization the other man wherever he is found; that it is at once their interest and their’ duty to do this, with violence, With tact, with kindness, s each may be necessary; to do it whether the other man likes it or not; to do it at infinite and im- measurable cost altke to the white man and the other man, and, if possible, to lift this lower, alfen, colored race to something like the plane of civilization which the most advanced nations have reached. In the meantime it is the business of the civilized races of the world—the most civilized races of the earth—to police the whole planet and make people behave themselves just as it is the business of the best and most civilized people of a community to police that whole community so that the elements that are disorderly and uncivilized shall be com- pelled to behave themselves. It Is a part of this theory that it is the duty of the civil- ized nations to put an end to the nameless horrors of heathen savagery and heathen this doctrine of ours—and it's a very sad subject, but it is a subject we have got to discues’ fairly and freely, and in_which every volce §as got to be heard and ever: honest man must have a right to_express his opinion, however unpopular. Mr. win Atkinson, with whom 1 differ greatly has got just as much right,and is justas far removed from any treasonable purpose or treasonable work or nfluence as any other man In this country. If the beginning of | our imperial career Is going to be the sup- pression, either by law or by public clamor, of absolutely free discussion of every subject which can Involve the safety and welfare of this natlon, 1 say the be- | ginning of our mperial career is going to be marked with a biackness that will blast us altogether. ) In regard to the Philippines—for, of | i course, the Philippines is the subject of | which we speak—how dld we get them? I don't know. I didn’t want them. I thin most of the intelligent men of this coun didn’t want them, and for the rest of | us, as Mr. Dooley expresses it, they don’t know the difference between Philippines | and canned goods. And Iy it the ‘American people had any at the an- nexation of the Philippines wouid I t us one-half of what it has us they never would h if they had been con: think that the 2] pines was providential. Perhaps the L« did ft; perhaps the devil did it; perhaps McKinley did it. I don’t know but I sus- pect that all three had a hand in it, but I do know that it's done and it can’'t be un- done. The white man’s burden in the Philip- pines, Professor Bacon concluded, was the day’s work cut out for the people of | the United States. “We have got to do it patiently said. “We have got to do it with perfect | consclousness of what It costs and with really no hope of reward e t that of our_own consciences. But we are going to do it.” Hon. John Barrett, ex-Minister to Siam, soon as the applause at Professor Bacon's effort Fad ed. Mr. Barrett told of his official travels in East, especially in the Philip and gave as his deduction from hi tions that with proper men, not politiclans to educate the Filipino, he would become a valuable acquisition to the nation. On the score of morality in the far East he said was not so cer- tain that the Aslatic might have a white man’s burden. | Professor H. S.
