He has been identified by two of his
former shipmates. John Conway and

Ashe, and to make sure Conway went
to see him few days ago.
Ashe was with Conway and Collins
in 1856, when the Triumph, while on
her way out here from England, put
into Chile. While there a detachment
of men was put on board from the ship
Liffey, which was then doing duty as a
prison ship for the confinement of
minor offenders. Ashe was among
these. He had been confined on board

CLIMAX is AT HAND.
Philippine Islands Revolt yeryinx
Upon Collapse.

New York, Feb. GA dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says:
General La Chambre, who has occu-
pied Santo Domingo, is now advancing
on Silling, Cornell and Marina and
will attack the rebel forces within
three days. The number of troops en-
ployed is not published. The batteries
employed are two Krup batteries of
eight centimeters, one battery of nine
and two mortars of fifteen centimeters.
With General La Chambre is General
Marina, who takes one battery of artil-
lery OF eight centimeters.
From all reports it would seem that
if the Spaniards are lucky enough to
lntiict a decisive chastisement upon the
rebels in Cavite, the entire revolution
will collapse. The absence of real
leader must tell upon the rebels, and
all their principal men are either in
the fortress here or have been shot by
the authorities. Francisco Rojas, the
millionaire and friend of General
Blanco; Rial, the doctor and idol of
the Philippine Indians; Luna, the ar
tlst whose picture won n gold medal at
the Paris exposition, and every other
native or half-caste of wealth or inf1u-
ence in the Catipuna or inner circles of
conspiracy, which the natives created
for their own purposes inside the lodges
of Masonry, into which the Spaniards
confidently initiated them years ago,
are in the tolls of the law and may be
shot any day.
An immense amount of suffering has
been inflicted on their families by
these misguided men. In dozens of
cares large estates of those implicated
have been embargoed by the govern
ment, and people formerly opulent are
reduced to poverty. Even some native
Catholic priests are among the prison.
ers, seven at least having been tempted
into the plot.
The Vaccinations of the rebels seem
to have permeated all quarters, and
they have taken in their whitening
grasp natives and half-breeds in every
station of life, from the millionaire
property owner, local governor, govern
ment clerk, official doctor or professor
in college, to the most ignorant and
poorest fisherman and domestic servant
in foreign or Spanish employ. Indeed,
it would be difficult to find parallel
for such widespread treachery.
If the rebels on the island can get rid
of the Spaniards they can run the coun-
! try and pay no more taxes. Every one
/ will have plenty to eat, nothing to do
and pay no "cedula'' or other tax to
+ anybody. This is the simple argument
which the agents use everywhere to
beat up recruits and get the peasants to
i join their ranks. Their ideas are
largely socialistic.
As an illustration Of these delight
full tenets the washermen who have
mostly all turned rebels, walked off
/ with half the wardrobes of male and fe-
i male Manila, for every one uses white
4 tropical clothing the year round, and
+ consequently for time the rebels were
the best dressed gentlemen in the Phil

were getting new clothes together.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The house
committee on naval affairs, which is
working on the naval appropriation
bill, spent most of the day in discussing
the question Of the price to be paid for
armor plate. The question was finally
disposed Of by the adoption of an amend
ment to the bill authorizing the seere-
tary OF the navy to contract for steel
armor, of domestic manufacture, for
the three battleships now being con-
structed, and appropriating sum not
exceeding $3.2l0, 900 for the purpose
1t is estimated that S,021 tons of plate
will be needed for these ships, so that
this provision limits the cost to $400
per ton. A substitute was offered by
Mccall, limiting the appropriation TO
81, sos, 150, which would have limited
the price to $3.50 per ton, but this was
voted down.
Another proposition was made to
strike the words 'of domestic manu-
faeture" from the armor clause, which
also failed Members of the committee
who favored this proposition urged
that the hearings showed there was no
competition between the American
firms engaged in the manufacture OF
armor-plate, and that the government
did not have an opportunity of buying
of foreign firms, as American firms
were selling armor to Russia at $3.50 o
| ton.

FOR COAST DEFeNSES.
Importance OF Increasing the Artillery
Branch OF the Army.

Washington, Feb. 10. - Senator
Hawley, chairman Of the committee on
military affairs, has filed a written re-
ply, urging the Importance of increas-
ing the artillery branch OF the military
service by the addition Of two regi-
ments. lie says this increase is essen
tial to the care and preservation Of the
costly works and new guns already
completed, Senator Hawley adds:
Splendid high-power guns and ex-
pensiye lifting devices are absolutely
without a guard, while there ought to
be a carefully enlisted body OF men be-
ing taught to understand how to work
and preserve the guns and machinery.
An artillery force cannot be improvised.
A prolonged education is indispensable.
Since 1887 congress has appropriated
for the purchase of sites and construc-
tion of Notifications, for the construc-
tion of gun factory at Watervliet, the
carriage factory at Watertown arsenal,
and for experimental purposes under
the board Of ordnance and fortifca-
tions, $l4, AL, 775, and since Septem-
Der, 1888, Sl2, 1873, ,297 for armament

$26, 565, 297, and the pending fortifi-
cation bill grants 80, 600, 900, total OF
$50, 800, O00. In the meantime not one
soldier has been recruited to care fol
and handle forts and guns And be
fore that period there were many old
forts, guns and batteries, for which not
even corporals guard could be de
tailed
The present condition of affairs is
wasteful in the extreme. The appro-
priations have been just and liberal
But the guns and forts, without trained
men are useless -
