1T is CRITICAL.
Situation in the Philippines is
Dangerous.
Admiral Dewey Asks for ReinforcementS
-AguinaldO, Chief of the Insurgents,
Wishes Americans to Leave the
Islands so that His Follow
ers May be in Control.

Manila, Sept. 13.-Rear Admiral
Dewey says he considers the situation
critical. 1t is understood he has asked
for an additional cruiser and battle
ship.
The last Spanish garrisons at Ilocos
and Laguna have surrendered and the
whole island of Luzon is in the hands
of the insurgents, except at Manila
and Cavite.
Aguinaldo has announced his inten-
ton of convening an assembly of the
Filipinos on September Is, in order
to decide upon the policy to be adop-
ted by the insurgents.
The correspondent here of the AS
sociated Press has had an interview
with Aguinaldo, who said there were
$1,000 insurgents armed with rifles.
He added he could raise 100000 men.
Indeed, the insurgent leader pointed
out, the whole population of the
Philippine islands were willing to
fight for their independence.
As to the Americans, Aguinaldo re-
marked that he considered them as
brothers and that 1.-The two sovereign
republics were allied against a COM
mon enemy"
Aguinaldo continued: "We have
been fighting for independence for
long time. The natives who profess
to favor annexation are insincere. 1t
is merely ruse to ascertain American
views. Asked if the Filipinos would
object to the retention of Manila,
Aguinaldo declined to answer.
He denied receiving a request from
Gen. Otis and Admiral Dewey to
withdraw his troops to a prescribed
distance from Manila and Cavite, and
declined to discuss the effect of such
request. Aguinaldo further as
serted that he had never conferred
with the American authorities since
the capitulation of Manila, and that
he had never authorized the insurgents
to search or disarm Americans cross
ing the lines. The correspondent
closely questioned him about the in
cident when the Pennsylvania troops
proceeded to establish new outpost.
The Filipinos objected and nearly pre-
cipitated hostilities, ordering the
Americans to withdraw in 20 minutes.
They issued ammunition and inter-
cepted the American reinforcements.
Finally Gen. Hale ordered all the Penn
sylvanians to advance and the rebels
withdrew.
The local governor has explained
that the incident was a mistake and
has repudiated his subordinates' ac-
ton. Aguinaldo declared to this cor
respondent that the Filipino who made
the trouble merely pretended to be an
officer and is unconnected with the in
surgent army. Aguinaldo complained
that the Spaniards were "dissemina-
ting false reports for the purpose of
fomenting antagonism between the
| Filipinos and Americans"
The whole interview conveyed the
impression that Aguinaldo desires
absolute independence, regards the
mission of the Americans here as ac-
complished, and expects their with.

Lafayette withdrew after helping the

It was . Great Calamity.

Prescott, Ariz., Sept. 13.-Sunday's
fire in Jerome was one of the greatest
calamities in the loss of lives and de-
struction of property that ever oc-
Cured in Arizona. Among those who
lost their lives are a Mexican woman
and her two children; Wilford, an un-
dertaker; dry goods clerk, name un-
known; two laborers, names unknown.
The number of missing is Is. Many
people familiar with Jerome place the
property loss at figures ranging from
$500,O00 to $750,200. There was but
little insurance, the total aggregating
less than $4,000.

and more cotton seed hulla would be re- quired to feed them than are produced in the state. Accordingly. Alabama cattle must be shipped to the pasture lands of the west to be faHened:
 On account of the cattle diseases that they carry with them in a greater or less degree, all cattle with which they come in contact are speedily exterminated. South ern cattle seem to be freer. from these dis cases from the middle of November to the middle of January than any other time of the year, therefore the government prohib- it's their shipment, except for immediate slaughter, during all other months of the year.
 Birmingham alone ships largely over 25,- 900 head of cattle each year to the north and west, to say nothing of those shipped from other portions of the state. In Tus- caloosa and some other Alabama cities thousands and thousands of cattle are rat tened during the winter months on cotton seed huls and are shipped north for im- mediate slaughter in the spring. But all the scrawny ''scalawags" must be retained and rushed through to western pastures during the two months allowed for these shipments
 After the night of Jan. 12, the railroads will refuse to take any grazing cattle from this city, so that just now is busy time in the Birmingham cattle market.

is not had sign. Prices of stocks have gained little, after yielding at first close B cents per share highs; for railroads and $l05 per share higher for trusts.
 Wheat declined IA cents owing to the termination of the corner at Chicago, and western receipts were about double those of last year. and Atlantic exports 2,S40,3l5 bushels, flour included, against 2,l50.909 bushels last year. A speculative estimate makes the quantity still in farmers hands 40 per cent. of the crop, which is quite possible, but the consumption and exports in half the year ought to take more than 40 per cent. of the years crop.
 Exports of corn for the week fell below last years. although western receipts were unusually large, and the price fell but 9sc.
 Cotton was disappointment to many, although the accounts of reduction in wages by New England works gave hopes of larger consumption. But with the eer- tainty that the print cloth works are to continue, prices have further declined to 21a cents
 The wooden and worsted mills are both buying wool quite largely at prices proba- bly, close to the best for reports which declared there were no concessions a month ago are now rejoicing that recent raggedness ir prices has passed away.

Financial Review.

New York, Jan. 7.-Bradstreets financial review will say tomorrow:
 Although duh and somewhat reactionary conditions ruled at the beginning of the week, the last three days have brought with them a display of speculative activi- ty and strength in the market.
 The earlier hesitancy was apparently due to disappointment on the part of traders who had bought stocks on the theory that there would be pronounced January rise because the public did not come into the market ait the very commencement of the new business year. The small profession as consequently Mqudated long holdings on Monday and Tuesday, and put out con- siderable lines on short sales, hoping that the decline would ex tend further. Leading factors in speculation seem to have con- tributed to this result and their brokers were for a time considerable sellers of the market. Among the unsettling factors were rumors of possible complications among the European powers in regard to China, while interviews were put out in which some of our prominent railroad men declared that through railroad rates were unproftable and that the conditions un- der which competitive traffic is carried by the roads render it useless to look for improvement unless legislation is secured authorizing the formation of pools.

Peculiar Circumstances Sur-
 rounding Its Death.
CORONER TO INVESTIGATE
The Mother Accuses John Sanford With Having Administered Poison-Says He Repeatedly
 Threatened to Kill Her and the Baby.

Yesterday afternoon the 9-months-old who lives in Avenue c, corner of Twenty first street, died under suspicious circum- stances
 The woman accuses her husband, John Sanford, with having administered poison The matter was reported to Officers Gull pepper and Reese, about o'clock yester- day afternoon, by George Gladden., the father of the child, the woman having subsequently, married John Sanford
 The officers went to the house at once and found that the child had died with convulsdons, short time before, the mother charging Sanford with having been the cause of it's death.
 Coroner Burkhalter was notified and the body was removed to the undertaking es> tablishment of the Warner-Smiley con- pany, where an inquest will be held at o'clock this morning.
 Sanford is boot-black at the Morris hotel and has disappeared.
 Becky Sanford, his wife, made the fol- lowing statement last night:
 Ever since we were married John has threatened to kill me and the baby. He left home this morning at o'clock and the baby was well and all right. About 10 o'clock it was taken sick and had spasms. I sent for pr. Wilkerson and he said he did not know what was the mat ter with the child, but that it was dying. I then sent for John and told him to bring another doctor. He came with pr. Ma son, who also said the child was dying, and that it had been given an opiate.
 q accused John of poisoning the baby, and he denied it. The woman that lives next door found little package of powder on the floor on his side of the bed, which looked like morphine. He said he had never bought any morphine. When the child died he went back to town and said he would be back at o'clock, but he had not been home up to midnight last night. He was at Kate Hamiltons house about two blocks from his home at 6 o'clock, and when he heard the officers were after him he jumped over the fence and ran away. believe he killed the baby because he said he would do so.''

honors save a meeting.
 That is the way Richmond and the re- mainder of the state of Virginia looked at the matter. But-oh, the woe of it-the law has interfered and Colonel Cussons and General Hundey are still strangers and may never get together at all. Two Vir- ginia honors may go creeping around for unnumbered years seeking satisfaction.
 Last Sunday there appeared in a Rich mond paper an article signed by Colonel Cussons. It was a most bitter attack upon the general and a reply to card which the general had published week before. Gen. Hundley was at his country seat in Amelia county when the paper reached him. He promptly saddled his horse and made a few necessary arrangements respecting the fu- ture of his family and rode to Richmond. Col. Cussons was stopping at Murphy's his toric hotel and awaiting the result of his card.
 Richmond friends saw the general ride into town and assisted him in dismounting at the Murphy hostelry. The general reg istered, was shown room, and all of Rich mond and the remainder of the state of Virginia knew that the general and the colonel were under the same roof; that each had made his final disposition of earth ly things, and that within very limited number of hours they would meet" That is when the "expectant attitude" occurred.
 There Is a chief of police in Richmond. His principal duty has been to corral crap players and look after razor fighters. Some how somebody got worried about this pres- ence of the two Virginia gentlemen at one hotel, and the chief was earnestly besought. Col. Cussons and Gen. Hundley must not

 From the 18th day of January to the 18th day of November, inclusive, during each year, no cattle are to be transported from any of the above mentioned states to any other portion of the United States except they be shipped for immediate slaughter. When cattle are thus shipped for immediate slaughter, separate cars must be used bearing the placard South ern cattle" Isolated pens must be used to receive them. The law also provides specific instructions for disinfecting all cars and pens occupied by these cattle.
 A local cattle dealer explained to an Age-Herald reporter yesterday the neces- sity of this law. He said that Alabama raised more beef cattle than can be fed in this state. Grazing lands are too poor to support any great number of cattle,

distinguished for acts of bravery. Col Gus sons was so impetuous in the face of dan ger that he was promoted on the field of battle. Incidental to his career he had a row with a man named Kerns, from Mo- bile, Ala, and shot Kerns in an affair of the code.
 Kerns was given up for dead when Gus sons saw him last. Years after a man knocked at the Cussons door and asked for the Colonel, and when he was shown in he calmly reminded the Colonel of the meet ing on the field, apologized for his haste in the matter of insult and was taken into the Cussons household and given the hap piest entertainment of which Virginia is capable
 Cussons had another affair of galantry with Belo, the editor, now the chief of the Galveston and Dallas (Texas) News. Gus sons plugged Belo at the first fire and Belo went down, but he was game enough to struggle to his feet and beg another shot, which the seconds refused. Cussons has amply demonstrated his right to meet any one who desires an interview of that character.
 Gen. Hundley is himself man of rec ord, but 1t is of different kind. He has not been given to the ten paces habit, but he has swung sword in a cause, and rid den into the thick of flying lead with the abandon which is characteristic of his kind.
 All of Virginia is ready to testify to the gallantry of these two typical gentlemen, and all of Virginia is ready to. swear at the coarse policeman who has dared to step between perfect gentleman and his evident duty,

And then oh, the woe of it-this chief of police-vir- ginians say he is from Missouri-swore out warrant for the arrest of two of the finest gentlemen of Virginia, the sole ground for the warrants being that these two had grievance and wanted to arrange settle ment after the most approved Virginia methods.
 But worse than the warrants was the serving of them. In the midst of his wound ed honor Gen. Hundley gallant gentleman of much war and field service. was waited upon by an unfeeling policeman and oom- pelled to go to police station and give a common bond of thousand dollars that he would not fight. Another policeman went for Col. Cussons, after the general had been taken away.
 The colonel mindful of his family duties, had retired to his country seat, seven miles out of town, to do those necessary things which are always done by gentlemen about to engage in a matter of honor. So the policeman missed him, and one virginian escaped that indignity which has thrown the entire state into turmoil. That in this land which has bred race horses, presidents and gentlemen since the day of Jamestown. the cold law should interfere with the time- honored method of settling differences, is more than the populace can stand, and the offending chief of police is unanimously voted man without the instincts of proper person.
 But if Gen. Hundley and Col. Cussons really pine for each other at ten paces they will probably get together. Both are men with things behind them. Both were in the Confederate service. and both were

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Tone of Quiet Confidence in
 Business.
THE OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING
Activity in Iron Industry, Glass Works Resume, Small Volume of Failures, Reduced
 Volume of Business Failures.

New York, Jan. 7.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 The year opens with tone of quiet eonfi- dence pervadlng nearly all branches of business, with encouraging activity in the iron trade, resumption of work by many thousands of industrial employees iff4fhe western glass industry, largely reduced volume of business failures, as compared with corresponding periods in preceding years, and a general outlook certainly not inferior to any previous year at this time. Distributive trade has naturally been rather slow, pending stock taking and the return of statesmen to the field. While the volume of distributive business is no larger industrial activity is a special fea- ture unconfned to any one section, but specially notable in the west. Resumption of work after the holidays has been gener- ally encouraging in that section.
 Autumn weather in the northwest checks distribution. Sales of southern iron are large. Louisiana crop returns have been very satisfactory. Nine-tenths of Florida 8 orange crop was gathered before the late freeze, and cotton is steady and in good export demand. Wool has opened up act lively at some eastern markets and lower prices for cotton goods have stimulated some demand
 Naturally enough there is a slight gain in the number of failures this week over the last the total aggregating 333, against 297 last week, but heavy falling off from 1897. when the total was 4ss.
 The holidays have exercised their ex- pected effect on export trade in cereals. Wheat exports from the United States and Canada for the first week in January amount to 3,4S1,O ,O75 bushels, against 55S5,00 bushels last week, 8 31OS,O 900 bushels in this week year ago and S,471,oO in the corre- spending week in 1896.
 Corn exports also show sensible dimnu- tion. amounting to 4OS6,00O bushels last week, 4,S1eOOO bushels in this week a year ago and 2,626, 900 in the corresponding week of 1896.

Gen. George Hundley and Col. John Gus sons. of Virginia, have not met and the reason of it is at once regret and pain to the entire state of red hills and pine frees. Gen. Hundley has grossly insulted Col. Cussons. and Col Cussons has re- turned in kind, and yet nothing is doing in Richmond, and the people, yesterdays press dispatches inform us, are in ''an ex- pectant attitude" The trouble is this:
 Col. Cussons is an old confederate soldier and was once the grand commander of the Confederate Veterans. He was as well chairman of the history committee, which was to decide just what story of the late unpleasantness should be used in the pub lie schools. There was some talk that a certain publishing firm was spending money to have it's publication used as the official book of the war.
 Col. Stubbs also of Virginia, and a man pf record, was suspected of dealing with the company, and there was investiga- ton of stubbs He proved his innocense and was assisted in the effort by Gen. IIundley, who acted as his attorney. Col Cussons was most active in the prosecu- ton of Col Stubbs and aroused the ire of Gen. Hundley.
 After the investigation had come to naught Gen. Hundley and Col. Cussons began to say things about each other in the papers of Richmond. Richmond and the rest of Virginia, sat by and waited. That sort of thing could end in but one fashion, according to the gray heads of the Old Do- niinion. Gen. Hundley and Col. Cussons must meet. Honor is, after all, the sine qua non of a Virginian of the old type, and nothing could satisfy these two wounded
