TAKES HAT OFF TO LINCOLN
AguinaIdO's Representative stops at
Chicago and Pays q visit to
statue In Lincoln Park.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-Major General f. V.
Greene OF the American army of invasion of
the Philippines and Senor Felip Angoncillo,
vice president Of Aguinaldo's revolutionary
government, arrived in Chicago today, en-
route to Washington. General Greene's err
rand is to give the executive his views
and the views Of his fellow officers concern
ing the right course for this government
DO pursue in regard to the future of the
islands. The Filipino goes to appeal 30
the president for representation on the
Paris peace commission and for immediate
Independence for his people.
During the day Senor Angoncillo at his
own request, was driven to Lincoln park
to see the big bronze statue OF Abraham
Lincoln, who, the Filipino statesman said
was his ideal American statesman and citi-
zen. About ten or fifteen minutes was spent
at the statue, Senior Angoncillo barring his
head to "one Of the greatest of the world S
rulers" as he put it.
In all my historical studies l have paid
the most attention to the growth of the
power and influence of this United States
government said Senor Angoncillo. "It
is my ideal of a government and it is this
pattern which the Philippine people will
follow when they are independent. have

there is nothing in either of those empires
that compares to the freedom of this coun-
try. This is the land that we have looked
up to for many years and the one in whose
footsteps we have tried to follow"
Angoncillo discredited the report that
France had promised to recognize the Phil
ippine republic and intimated that his sole
hopes OF independence were with President
Mckinley and the government of the United
States.

ROBBERS NOT IN CUSTODY
Men Captured In 81. Joseph wanted
for safecrackinR in nm
Iowa Town.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 26.-The hopes OF
the local police received a dash OF cold water
today when word from st. Joseph, uncon-
hremed but apparently authentic, was re-
ceived that the three men, James Morgan,
John Ryan and James McAleer, arrested in
that city last night, were not the desired
Missouri Pacific train robbers but a band
OF safe crackers from Iowa who had just
made successful raid in that state. The
men. when arrested, had in their possess
sion several hundred dollars worth of pow

tective who wenV to st. Joe last night and
saw the suspects this morning. Chief OF
Police Hayes still hopes that the men are
part OF the gang of train robbers and they
will not be allowed to leave the state until
the officials are thoroughly satisfied on this
point.
ST. JOSEPH. Mo-, Sept. 26.-James Nc
Aleer, James Morgan and John Ryan, the
three men arrested here last night suspected
OF being implicated in the robbery of the
Missouri Pacific express train near Kansas
City last Friday night, are probably not the
men wanted for that crime. Chief of Police
Hayes Of Kansas City, Chief Special Agent
Kay OF the Missouri Pacific, st. Louis. and
party of detectives came to st. Joseph this
morning to examine the prisoners. They do
net believe them train robbers and the
prisoners will not be taken to Kansas City
1t is almost certain the men are the robbers
of the Hastings, Ia, bank looted of 81, 900
last Wednesday night.
Notwithstanding the strong alib John
Kennedy establishes for his where
abouts when the Missouri Pacific express
car was blown up the police refuse to be-
lieve that he had nothing to do with the
crime. The officers say they do not believe
that Kennedy was one OF the five men who
actually did the work, but they believe he
knew all. about it. They believe he came to
Kansas City Friday night, met some of the
real robbers, got his share Of the booty and
divided with the other outside helpers.
IL the robbers are not caught it will not
be the fault Of the railroad and express
companies They intend to go after the
thieves In earnest Jackson county is to be
combed and swept for the train robbers.
Governor Stephens has offered $500 for the
arrest and conviction Of the robbers.

NO NEED HURRY MEN TO CUBA
Action of Spaniards Makes IL Unnec-
essary to Press Troops Forward
in Unhealthy Season.

WASHINGTON Sept. 26,-Commander
Eaton of the Resolute has been given addi
tional duty in connection with the American
military commission at Havana The exact
need for this Is not known at the Navy
department, the order having been made at
the request of the commission, but 1t is
supposed that Admiral Sampson wishes the
officer to make an examination of the Span
ish naval properties scattered among the
various Cuban ports outside Of Havana.
The naval authorities are deeply concerned
as to the disposition Of this property to be
made by the commission and owing to its
peculiar status, being not captured yet, but
subject to the disposal Of the commission,
it is not easy for the members to foresee the
outcome of the commissions deliberaton on
this point.
Nothing has been heard from the COM
mission itself since the cablegram OF yester-
day relative to the Comal. The authorities
here feel that by consenting to the entry
OF the vessel with relief supplies the Span
ish officials in u large measure ridded tho
question OF evacuation OF the urgency at
tached to it. So long as the Cubans-starv-
ing and naked-were denied the relief that
might come to them from the United States
government and the Red Cross this was
a powerful reason for insisting on the imme-
diate evacuation by the Spanish government
officials. in order that we might succor the
distressed Cubans.
Now, however, that our government is
free to do this under existing conditions
there is not the same necessity for haste
and the War department will not be obliged
to force American troops in numbers into
Cuba in the very worst part of the season,
so far as health conditions are concerned.
The daily reports that come to the depart
ment from Santiago make IL apparent that
even the immune regiments, made up as
some of them are of negroes, supposed TO be
almost exempt from attacks of climatic
fever. much sickness prevails and II is only
fair assumption that the ordinary troops
would suffer more were they now 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 evacuation of the
island. 1t may be said that the president
expects that the result will be a compromise
between the details mentioned on each side
and that the movement will begin toward
the latter part OF October and be concluded
soon after New Years
This will accord very well with the plans
OF the War department, as 1t will enable II
to avoid sending to Cuba any considerable
number OF soldiers until the healthy season
is we'll under way. 1t is the present pur-
pose to make the replacement OF Spanish
forces in detail, not sending over any large
expedition. but establishing a garrison al
one point after another, beginning probably
at the western end OF the island The au-
thorities have concluded In view OF the
spirit shown by the Cubans as reported to
It, that 1t will not be necessary to have
