'FILIPlNOS' FINANCES.
The Insurgent Congress Discuss
; 4 ing Ways and Means.
1 CONFLICT OVER TAXATION,

Inhabitants ofthe Northe' Provinces
Flatly Refuse to Pay Taxes, Believ-
fngthe Revolutionary Party Would
Abolish Taxation Altogether,
Manila, Sept. 26-The Filipino con-
gress Is engaged in the consideration
of the question Of raising funds to de-
fray the heavy expenses of the main
tenance o8sthe army. pending de-
cision by the Paris conference. Hith-
erto the army Of the Fiipinos has been
chiefly supported by public subscrip-
tion, but now the native government
contemplates the imposition of various
taxes. The inhabitants of the northern
provinces, however, especially of Pam
pang and Ilocos, fatty refuse to pay
land or poll taxes. because it was the
popular impression that the revolution
lists would abolish taxation entirely.
The natives of Pampang and Pam
eastman, the two richest agricultural
provinces of the island. and those Of
llocos and Zambales, who are the
sturdiest mountaineers, distrust the
Tagals. and insist upon the establish
mant Of an American protectorate.
On Saturday the assembly debated
the question of land tax. A ma
jority of the members were opposed
to the maintenance of burden un-
equally distributed and unduly favor
ing the Tagals. and demanded that a
statement of expenditures be submit
ted before the matter was decided.
The statement was not forthcoming,
and the question was shelved
Aguinaldo realizes the difficulty of
reconciling the conflicting interests, but
hopes that the nations will allow the
Filipinos fair chance to show that
they are capable of self government.
Aguinaldo desires the newspapers to
inform the world that there is con-
elusive evidence that many Spaniards
and priests are intriguing with a fac
tion of the natives to foment dis
turbances so that Americans will be-
lieve the whole population to be ir-
reconciliable" He asserts that the in
triguers pay money and provide uni
forms to persons who impersonate rebel
officers and enter the town, and ac-
cuses Eugene Blanco of being the
chief paid agent Of these intriguers.

+ A PULPIT CRITICISM.
Chaplain Brady Tells OF the Horrors
of ChickamRuga.

Philadelphia, Sept 26.-Rev. Cyrus #.
Brady, archdeacon Of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese Of eastern Pennsyl-
vania and chaplain OF the First regi-
ment Pennsylvania volunteers, in a
sermon last night severely criticized
the management of the volunteer
camps which came under his supervis-
ion at Chickamauga, where his regl-
ment was stationed for a long time. He
said the medical. commissary, quar-
termaster and ordnance departments
were all to blame, and continued thus:
II personally saw men left in the
hospitals in camps for SO hours with
out any medical attendance whatever.
! saw men in those hospitals suffering
from fever with the rain beating down
upon them. l saw men committed to
the care of unskilled attendants when
1t was absolutely impossible for them
to receive anything like the attention
they desired. l saw men, suffering
from fever. lying with their mouths
open and their mouths filled with flies.'
In conclusion the archdeacon said:
Il wonder If l dare, being still in the
government service, say more? There
Is much more that might be told if it
We're proper for me to tell it, but per-
haps this will suffice. l had not in
tended to touch upon this phase OF
our experiences al ALL but when
think that these things have taken
place in this. the richest, greatest and
presumably the most advanced nation

my peace"

This indicates the adjustment of a
question that promised for several days
to become serious The Spanish au-
thorities, still maintaining Spain's
right to sovereignty over the Island of
Cuba, refused to permit the Comal TO
land at Havana without the imposition
upon her cargo Of duties amounting to
$4,000. In addition to this, the ves-
sells captain was fined for disregarding
some port regulations unknown to him.
, Against this proceeding the Ameri-

demanded the free importation of the

pointed out to the Spaniards that the

sition assumed by the Spanish officials
was not in accord with the provisions

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
American Superiority Is Crowding Out
Europenn Manu- ufncturc

European Manufactures.
Washington, Sept. 2G.-The United
States consul at Vienna, in Il report to
the state department on the trade for
Hungary for 1897, ascribes the
general decrease in exports to this
country to the fact that the same
goods are now manufactured in the
United States and can be sold at the
same or lower prices than the Austrian
goods. American silk is being sold in
Lyons. the real silk center of Europe,
and French manufacturers are buying
1t in large quantities, especially that
used for lining purposes, to take the
place of that formerly imported from
Austria and Germany. There is a fall
ing off in the demand for pearl goods
and for glassware, due to the popular
ity and superiority of the American
product. 1t is frankly admitted the
consul says, that the American cut
glass is finer and more elegantly cut
than any manufactured in Europe.
The American bicycle, according to
the consul, is finding favor with the
wheelmen, Notwithstanding its higher
price over those of domestic makes.
He thinks that If the United States
manufacturers desire to set their
wheels into the foreign market they
should be satisfied with little less
profit. and they to make easier terms
for their agents. The wheels sent from
America are generally without guards,
brakes or other necessities, and the
agent Is put to the additional expense
and trouble of supplying them.
There is growing demand for Amer
lean canned goods. but high prices pre-
vail because the goods go through the
hands of mddlemen.

THE CONNECTICUT MURDER.
Evidence That Miss Gill Met Death ir
Nancy Guilford's House.

Bridgeport Conn. Sept. GA search
Of Nancy Gulford's house yesterday
settled beyond a doubt that Emma
Gill died there. and it was also learned
that her death took place on Sunday
the 18th inst. Several discriminating
articles belonging to Mrs. Guilford
were found in the search of the prem
ises.
1t is believed that the first portions
of the dismcmbered body were thrown
into Yellow Mill pond between 10 and
il O'Clock Sunday night. Mrs. Guilford
hired team from Bank Brothers, on
Broad street, that night. and was gone
two hours, and the Monday night fol-
lowing she had the game team again,
and was gone until 1 o'clock the next
morning. Mrs. Casperine, who lives
on Cedar street, about 400 feet from
the bridge where the bundle was
thrown off into the pond, positively
identified the team as one she saw
being driven on the bridge about 1890
on the Sunday night in question, and
she also saw it return a few moments
later.
Superintendent Birmingham stated
last night that he expected to hear of
the arrest of Mrs. Guilford at any mo-
ment He was positive that she would
be in custody before many hours.

ODDOSing Revision of DreyfiIS Case

Paris, Sept. 2G.--Paul Deroulcde pre-
sided at a meeting held yesterday for
the purpose of protesting against re-
vision of the Dreyfus proceedings, at
which he made a speech violently de-
nouncing NJ. Brisson and all the prom
inent supporters Of revision. and de-
clared that If revolution broke out
and the scaffold was erected in Paris
the first head to fall ought to be that
of M. Clemenceau. If Dreyfus ever re-
turned to France, NJ. Doroulede as
serted, he would be lynched. In con-
clusion he announced the intention to
reconstitute the League of Patriots,
which the government formerly dis
solved, and resolution to this effect
was carried by acclaim.
