Frances G. Greene of the American army
of invasion of the Philippines and Senior
Felipe Agencillo, vice spresident of
Aguinaldo's revolutionary government,
arrived in Chicago today. en- route to
Washington.
Senior Agencillo said: SIN all my his
torical studies I have paid the most atten-
ton OF the growth of the power and in1u-
enoe of the United States government.
1t is my ideal of government and it is
the pattern which the Philippine people
will follow when they are independent.
This is the land that we have looked up
to for many years and the one in whose
footsteps we have tried to follow
Senior Agencillo discredited the report
that France had promised to recognize
the Philippine republic and intimated
that his sole hopes of independence were
with President Mckinley and the govern
ment of the United States.
General Green expressed q very high
opinion of the Philippines as men and
fighters. The Inhabitants of the islands,
he said, were superior in every way to the
Cubans or to the North American Indians
and once they were freed from Spanish
oppression, had magnif cent future be-
fore them. General Green and Senior

WANT RIGHT TO SELL.
Spanish Peace Commissioners Will Claim
That for Philippines.

Madrid, September 26.-The cabinet
this evening had under discussion General
Blancos despatch concerning the Ameri.
can claims in connection with the evacu-
alton of Cuba.
Duke Almodovar de Rio, minister of
foreign affairs, states that the Spanish
peace commissioners have been instructed
to contend strongly for the integrity of
Spanish sovereignty in the Philippines
on the ground that the protocol between
Spain and the United States was signed
before Manila capitulated; and also to
make firm stand regarding the Cuban
debt and the Philippine loan of 1886 if
Luzon is ceded to America.
Should the United States prove less
exacting than is expected the commits
sioners have power to make all possible
concessions, political and commercial,
compatible with the retention of Spanish
sovereignty in the Philippines. but in the
event of losing portion Of the islands,
they are instructed to resist to the utmost
any attempt of the United States to claim
the right of preference over other powers
remainder of the islands.
1t is understood, however, that all
instructions are only referendum. Most
of the commissioners and attaches speak
English.

plies to the writers of each of them, re-

GOOD WORD FOR GAR.
American Party Pleased with Plan of
Disarmament.

Boston, September 26.-The first regu
lar autumn meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the American Peace society was
held at the sooiety's rooms today. Robert

Resolved, That we have learned with
the greatest satisfaction OF the action OF
the Emperor of Russia in issuing an
invitation to all the powers represented
at st. Petersburg, to hold conference
for the discussion of question OF O re-
duction of armaments.
We regard this action of the sovereign
of one of the greatest powers OF earth as
among the most important steps ever
taken for the; promotion of international
unity and of more Christian and stable
civilization.
A resolution was passed expressing ap-
probation of the fact that President Nc
kinley had so quickly and cordially noti-
fed the Czar of Russia that this govern
ment approved of the proposed conference
in the interest of international peace, aud
will send a representative to it, when
held.
The board also adopted resolution de-
claring that, in view of the present wide-
spread feeling of friendliness between the
people of this country and Great Britain,
the time is opportune for the re-openipg
of negotiations for a permanent treaty
of arbitration between the two nations,
and urging the President to proceed in
the matter at the earliest practicable
moment
Ii was voted to send to President Nc
Kinley n protest against any permanent
enlargement of the army or navy of the
United States except what may be abso-
lutely necessary for police purposes.

DUE NORTHERN PACIFIC.

Milwaukee, Wis.,, September 26-Spec,
ial Master Carey has filed decision in
the U. S. court of great Importance to
the general creditors of the Northern Pa
citic railway company.
Master Carey finds that there is sill due
the company, although 1t has succeeded
in acquiring the entire property OF tn the
Northern Pacific, the sum of $50, 292, 68l,
with interest from September /. 70 this

The only tangible assets of the Northern
Pacific railway company that remain are

North Dakota and Minnesota. Those are
nearly 4,000. 600 acres, but there is great
deal of litigation to be first settled with
reference to the taxes that have not been

NOT so MUCH HURRY NOW.
Admission of Food Supply Steamers Does
Away with Need of Early Evacuation of
Cuba.

Washington, September 26 6-Commander
Eaton of the Resolute has been given ad-
ditional duty in connection with the
American military commission at Ha.
vana. The exact need for this is not
known at the navy department, thesorder
having been made at the request of the
commission, but it is supposed that Ad-
miral Sampson wishes the officer to make
an examination of the Spanish naval
properties scattered along the various
Cuban ports outside of Havana.
The authorities here feel that by con-
senting to the entry of the vessel with
food supplies, the Spanish officials in a
large measure ridded the question of
evacuation of the urgency that attached
to it.
The reports that come to the department
from Santiago make it apparent that
even among the immune regiments,
made up as some of them are, of negroes,
supposed to be almost exempt from at
tacks of climatic fevers, much sickness
prevails and it is only fair assumption
that the ordinary troops would suffer
more were they sent into Cuba.
Therefore. while the American and
Spanish commissioners at Havana are
still seeking to reach an agreement as to
the time to be allowed for evaouating
the island, it may be said the President
expects THAI the result will be a compro-
mise between the dates mentioned on
each side, and that the movement will be
gin towards the latter part of October and
be concluded soon after New Years. This
will accord very we'll with the plans of
the war department., as it will enable it
to avoid sending to Cuba any consider
able number of soldiers until the healthy
season is we'll under way. 1t Is the pres
ent purpose to make the replacement of
the Spanish forces in DETAIL not sending
over any large expedition, but establish
ing a garrison at one point after another.
1t is thought now that no more than
%, 900 men will be required.

ARME MANS DREW KNIVES.
Made Attack on Striking Brockton Shoe
Makers.

Brockton, Mass, September 26.-
There was a small sized riot this after
noon at Montello in front of the Field
Hazard factory. Eight Armenians had
just arrived from Boston on the train
and were on their way to the Field-Haz-
zard factory when the trouble happened.
At Field-Hazzard's they were inter
cepted by the pickets who tried to induce
them to keep away from the factory.
The Armenians listened for few min
utes and then, apparently expecting an
attack, showed fight and pulled out
dirks, black-jacks and billies. Those
who were not armed resorted to stones,
throwing them, and one of them hurled
large stone at a Pole named Antonio
Brown. The missile struck Brown on
the left arm causing a nasty wound.
When the crowd saw the knives and
the other weapons there Was wild rush
to get out of the way.
Nelson Orcutt was compelled to run
for his life, and he came down town to
swear out warrant against the Armeni-
ans. Brown will have the man who hit
him arrested.
The Armenians had no cause to draw
their weapons and everyone who wit
messed the affair is indignant.
Another disturbance took place at d.
W. Fields factory this afternoon. Twelve
colored lasters on their way out, began to
throw stones to scare the crowd. The
strikers and others retaliated ana soon
made it so warm for the negroes that
they broke into run and tried to escape.
A mum ber of persons were struck but not
seriously injured. -Four police officers
each caught a man and all wsre taken to
the police station and locked up. The
excitement at this end of the city is in
tense. The police guard at that vicinity
was dou bled tonight.
The conference committee of the lasters
met tonight when the committee sent to
Boston to interview the machine COM
panies, made it's report. The committee
said it had notified the companies that
if they did not remove their agents from
the Brookton factories by Wednesday
morning, the entire district would strike.
The pickets reported that they had
induced fifty new employees to leave for
their homes.
Two more demonstra tions occurred
during the evening.
