Professor Worcester sald at the outset lo- s received roval.

[ propose to take up some of the alleged facts often quoted in support of these se- rious charges and scrutinize them some- what closely. I shall try to make my ex- amination wholly dispassionate.” Professor Worcester then took up vari- ous arguments presented against the It is presumed here that Aguinaldo’s | It is | Otis has for-| commission to the fact that even In his proclamation of June 18, he freely ad- re- mitted that no American had ever prom- | peated representations of the Span- | i1sed htm {ndependence for his people. As showing the bloody work of the In- urgents, Professor Worcester sald: “At the time I left Manila the nrovmce[ of Batanbagas was overrun with thieves and murderers. No attempt was being | made to enforce law and order. The pub- lic schools were abandoned. Forced con- tributions were wrung from the people at the bayonet point, until many were ruined. Unwilling contributors had been | punished having thelr hands hacked | off and even by being buried alive.

His answers were direct- ed specially to the arguments “of a gen- tleman who recently addressed an audi- | ence from the rostrum on which I stand.” He also stated that Aguinaldo Cabinet testified before the members of the | as Taal were intrenched In order that the inhabitants might defend themselves | against their neighbors. The military governor of the province, although a Ta- galo and an insurgent, had characterized | condition existing as ‘complete an- archy,’ and had repeatedly sent in secret‘ to Manila asking for ald to restore order, | nd promising to surrender with his trodéps If we would only dispatch a small force to his aid. “Those who affect to believe that we ire creating bloody disorder by our pres- ence in the Philippines; that the natives | would continue to hate us | If we gave | them good government, that they would | Le better off under a very bad government | of their own than a very good one,ndmm-" istered in part by ours, and that the only | logical and honorable course open to us is to withdraw our forces and leave the | peaceable and law-ablding natives of the Philippine Islands at the mercy of Aguin- aldo and his army, may be sincere in their convictions, but by freely giving voice to them they are encouraging the ambitious leader to prolong a | hope The prolongation of | this struggle is costing us millions of dol- lars, and, what is far worse, good red American blood.

Mrs. Funston will remain at her parents’ home in Oakland, Cal. Two hundred peo- ple were at the depot to give General Funston a hearty good-by. Among them were two former Twentieth Kansas offi- cers, Lieutenants Whisner and Northrup of Company B. “l never sald 1t,” yelled Lieutenant Whisner, directing hls remarks to the general, who stood waving adieus from the car platform. Whisner referred to an alleged interview in which Colonel Met- calf and other officers of the Twentleth Kansas had been criticized. “Your apology is accepted,” sald Gen- eral Funston with a laugh. “I knew you had been mi.quoted.” - General Funston will sall on the first transport leaving for Manila. 'PRESS NEWS BEING CENSORED TOO CLOSELY NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—The dispatches from Manila yesterday referred to “Major Marsh” as commanding the left battal- fon of the Thirty-third Regiment, com- | manded by Colonel Hare, in the sharp | engagement with the insurgents near San | Fablan Saturday. The officer is Major Payton C..March, formerly captain of the | Astor Battery and later on General Mac- Arthur's staff. Owing to the character of the censorship at Manila, General Otis not permitting the sending of the names of the killed and wounded, a full ac- count of the engagement near San Fabian was cabled, but the correspondents were not permitted to send the name of Major John A. Logan, killed in action, or those of the others killed or wounded. s d s i HUGH™S’ ADVANCE IS HAMPERED BY RAINS MANILA, Nov. 15.—Ceneral Hughes, with parts of the Nineteenth and Twenty- | sixth regiments, moved from lloilo Thurs- day, November 9, to Otton, six miles west, | for the purpose of capturing Santa Bar- bara, the rebel stronghold, ten miles north of Iloilo. Heavy rains preceded the movement, and the roads were in places impassable. The same night Colonel Carpenter, with the Eighteenth Regiment and Battery G of the Sixth Artillery, moved westerly from Jaro to connect with General | Hughes. Colonel Carpenter was forced to | return to Jaro on account of the roads, and the entire movement was hampered by lack of proper transportation. Com- pany ‘C of the Twenty-sixth Regiment had the only fighting. When three miles out | of Jaro this company charged the rebel trenches, and three of the enemy were killed. One American was wounded. | General Hughes November 12 occupled Tagbanan and Guimbal, on the southern coast, and also Cordova, in the interior, enemy did not oppose General Hughes' advance, Recent orders from Aguinaldo found in | the trenches said: “Do not oppose the Americans’ advance.

The shouting has subsided, and the uproar may not be re- sumed until the next political campaign opens.

She may at any time decide to sell out to her associates. |"Men in position to judge of the value of her Intérest figure it to be worth from seven to ten million dollars. | President David Starr Jordan of Stan- | ford University spent a few hours-in San Francisco yesterday afternoon, eén route i to Sacramento. He had recelved no | word from Mrs. Stanford concerning the isale of her Southern Pacific stock for $11,400,0%, but he did not for a moment doubt the truth of The Call's story to that effect. On the contrary, Dr. Jordan aad- | mitted that he had an idea such a deal | was being negotiated and expressed his | pleasure at the news of its consumma- tion ou folks know more about it than I do,” he said, with a smile, “for I have not recelved a word from Mrs. Stanford on the subject since she left for the HEast. | Of course we knew that Mrs. Stanford 1 | tended disposing of the Southern Pact | stock as soon as she could do so adyan- tageously, as It was producing no ineoms, | all the earnings of the road being put into improvements. When Mrs. Stanford gave | the stock to the university it was. with | the understanding that she should be al- lowed to sell it should a favorable oppor- | tunity arise, although as trustee of the | university she had power to sell the stock | even if that condition had not been at- | tached to the gift.” ' : Dr. Jordan was asked what immediate uses the money would be put to, but he declined to talk on that subject. “That is a matter that must be deter- mined by Mrs. Stanford,” he said, “and I have no authority to speak for her.. The ty and will The. surest. way 1o catch & husband i lbn.come from the §10,900,000 -r‘u‘l.mo.mo will 8| a great help to the unive enable us to keep In the front rank of the | educational institutions of the country. | Very likely Mrs. Stanford may have some definite plans for at least a partial ex- penditure of the money, but if 80 she must be the first to inform the public as to what she intends to do.” Notwithstanding Dr. Jordan's refusal to commit himself on the subject, it is a fact that the acquisition of a large amount of ready money at this time will be of ines- timable value to the Institution over which he presides. It will provide the means for the immediate erection of new buildings and 1t will allow of the or- ganization of new departments, but it is for Mrs. Stanfosd herself to say when these improvements shall be inaugurated. The expansion movement will not likely be carried out on a large scale Immediate- ly. It is well known that President Jo: dan s not in favor of the forcing process. He believes in a gradual enlargement and upbuilding of the university on a sure, substantial foundation, and while a few new departments may be added within a short time, there will be no hurry and no “forcing.” One of the first things that will be done in the way of enlarging the unlversity will be the completion of the outer quadrangle in accordance with the original plans. Two of these buildings, the assembly hall and the history buiid- ing, are already practically finished ‘anu will be occupied as soon as Mrs. Stanford returns from the East. Two others, one to be devoted to the department of physiology and the other to geology und zoology and connected with the first named two by a grand arch already com- pleted, are in the course of erection. In addition to these, two more build- ings will probably be erected during the coming year. These two are to be located at the two corners of the outer great quadrangle and will be connected with the inner quadrangle by arches. The plans for these buildings have al- ready been prepared by Architect Clin- ton Day and were yesterday approved by Dr. Jordan. One of them will be de- voted to history and literature and tne other to physics and psychology. ‘The new chapel {s also well under way and is a model of church architécture. Still another college building that is re- garded as 'a necessity at the university, and the crection of which will probably begin shortly after Mrs. Stanford's re- one side, for reasons that are obvious to those familiar with the study of chem- | Istry. | There was great rejoicing yesterday among all who are in any way interested | in the !nstitution at Palo Alto over Mrs. Stanford's success in disposing of ler raflroad stock at such a good figure. When she presented the stock to the uni- versity a few weeks ago the fact was realized that the gift might be of little real benefit to the institution for some time because of its being productive of no income. Now, however, the gift has been transformed Into money and the days of stern economy and hard pinching to make both ends mect are no more. T e SPEYER TALKS OF THE RECENT DEAL Complete Confirmation of The Call’s Account of the Big ,. Transaction. NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—At the office of Speyer & Co. to-day it was finally admit- ted that the firm, acting for itself ana several others, had purchased from ihe estate of the late Senator Leland Stan- ford of California the latter's holdings ot ‘Bouthern Pacific stock. Detalls of the sale or other information concerning it could not be obtained from representatives of the firm, but Wall- street men who are, conversant with Southern Pacific affairs said that the amournt of stock Involved in the transac- tlon is 280,000 shares. The average price pald for the stock was sald to have been about $43 per share. Although denied in high quarters, it is the popular idea in: Wall street that the Stanford holdings were transferred through the medium of ‘the stock market, which would account for the recent enor- mous trading in stock. The purchasers of the Stanford stock, represented by Speyer & Co., are the same who recently pur- chaséd the interest of the Crocker estate in ‘Southern Pacific property. They are known in Wall street as the Huntington- Speyer syndicate, and are believed to be Collis P. Huntington, Speyer & Co., J. Pierpont Morgan, Kuhn, Loeb & Co, gnd several important European banking in- terests. The control of the vast South- ern Pacific system will hereafter lie in the hands of these men and the interests which they represent. E Speyer & Co. to-day stated that the Southern’ Paéific stock bought from the Stanford estate will be held by strong in- terests, and it is not likely to come on the market. < Southern Pacific was again the feature of the stock market to-day.

SAN RAFAEL, Nov. 15.—Shortly after 10 o'clock to-night R. V. Halton, the new manager of the Hotel Rafael, notifled Constable Hughes that two of the em- ployes of the hotel, aided by outsiders, had planned to rob the guests and blow open the safe. Hughes at once placed the case in the hands of Deputy Constable Agnew, who procured an assistant and at once proceeded to the hotel, Mr. Halton was informed of the plot by an old employe of the hostelry, who sald he had overheard the two men laying their plans. The suspected employes have frequently been seen In the company of a couple of members of the tough ele- ment which infests the city.

Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Nov. 15.—Highbinder trou- bles broke out afresh in the Sixth street Chinatown this evening and resulted in the assassination of Gin Suey, a cook. Six men entered the general merchan- dise store of Quong Chung Lung & Co. They at once opened fire on Wong Ban, bookkeeper of the store, who seemed to be their especial target. Revolvers ed with bullets and buckshot were used, but Ban escaped with only a slight scalp wound from one buckshot. In the room were Wong Wah On, Wong Chung, Gin Suey and Wong Sing. After firing the first round of shots the high- binders backed out of the door and poured | a fusillade through the glass door and window. Gin Suey was shot in the left side, in range of the heart, the bullet passing through his body. He died In- stantly. The others escaped to the rear of the store. The arrival of officers found no trace of the ass: 8. A mammoth horse-pistol from which had been fired buckshot was plcked up at the scene of the shooting, and the bullet marks showed that about twenty shots had been fired The shooting was the result of a long- standing feud between the Filp Sing Tong and the Wong family. Dering the past year no less than a dozen shooting scrapes ave taken place between these factions, but this Is about the first fatality. The highbinders engaged in the shooting made their escape from Chinatown on foot and were seen making their way toward the raflroad leading to Miipitas. Walker Held.
