AGUINALDo'S ATTITUDE.
He Is Ugly Because the United states Does
Not how To Him

Chicago. Aug. "a correspondent OF
the Record writes from Washington as
follows:
have private advices from unques.
toned authority In Washington that
several very important dispatches from
Admiral Dewey and General Merritt
have not been given 10 the public and
that the situation at Manila * such
as 10 give the President great concern.
The alarming fact Is that Agulnaldo's
Insurgents have become so formidable
In numbers and audacity that the
American commander M Cavlte il
doubtful whether he can control them.
and Manila would have surrendered
some time ago except for the fear thai
our forces are not strong enough to
prevent the half-clyllized troops of
Agulnaldo from plundering the city
and mnssacreing lis inhabitants. Just
what General Merritt VIII decide upon
cannot he foretold. Up to the time of
sending his last dispatches he had no,
met Agulnaldo. The latter was In an
ugly mood and refused To visit him.
and OF course General Merritt could
not very well hunt up the lnsurgent
chief In order To have n conference.
The situation Is growing more seri.
ots every hour. General Merritt; can.
not accept the surrender OF the Span.
ish commander without assuming the
responsibility OF preserving order and
protecting the lives and property of
both his prisoners and non-combai-
nnis. and 1t II understood that AguInnI.
do has Insisted upon the right TO loot
the city. because the expectation OF
mat privilege has been the chief In
duccmeni 10 bring together his follow.
ers and keep them In discipline during
the siege. Agunaldo Is also out OF
sorts hecaus, OF Admiral Dewey's re-.
fusal To recognize him as dictator of
the Philippine islands. He has the
vanity 10 assume that our government
sent n fleet and an army all the way to
the Philippine islands to establish and
maintain him and his colleagues In
power, nnd now that he has learned
the contrary he declines To obey any
further orders from the American
commanders.

tinguished himself by Unexpectedly
proving he was an orator of rare
dramatic force. For more than an
hour he held the audience spcllbound.
while in the simplest Of language and
with few gestures, but with wonder
ful force and pathos. he told the story
OF his immortal exploit in the harbor
of Santiago tie Cuba. Throughout
he made no reference 10 the part
borne by himself, almost the whole
of his thrilling story being devoted
to eulogizing his gallant companions
and of their magnificent bravery and
implicit confidence in the face of
death. the noble American seamen
whom he affcctionately referred to as
''jackics.'
The occasion of Lieutenant Hob
sons appearance al The opera house
was Il monster benefit for the families
of soldiers and sailors. He was
wildly cheered when he appeared,
and throughout his address was ap-
plauded again and again. A new
point was developed in his talk of the
experiences of the Merrmac's men.
1t was that the Spaniards. after the
sinking of the Merrimac. displayed n
tendency to resort TO inluisition meth
ods to gain information from the

Chicago. Aug. "a special to the
Record from Washington says:
Senator Jones of Arkansas Is on his
way TO New York for the purpose of
demonstrating with Croker. Murphy
and other advocates of II progressive
platform for the Democratic campaign
and to caution them that the issue
they propose to raise in the Missouri
state convention next week will not be
approved or supported by Democrats
of the slellback variety Mr.. Jones
has been appealed to by senator Vest
and others who have become acquaint-
cd with the plan of the jingoes ana
will attempt to exercise his authority
and use his influence as chairman of
the national committee against so rad
ical Il departure from the previous
principles of the party without the ac-
ton of n national convention. In addi-
ton to the story that told the other
day, 1t is said that the plan Is to place
Il plank in the Missouri platform that
will appeal to the jingo sentiment of
both parties, not only declaring in
favor of the removal of the Spanish
flag from the colonies in the Pacific,
but for the establishment of independ-
ent republican governments Ill tne
Philippines. Cuba and Porto Rico.
The plan is now. as | understand 1t.
to oppose annexation and TO demand
liberty and government for the en-
shaved people of the islands named.
This is intended not only to go be-
yond the purposes of the President i'll
treating for peace with Spain. but to
embarrass him in the ngotiations by
developing sentiment against the an
nexation of Porto Rico and the reten-
tion of Spanish sovereignty in the Pa
cific Those who advocate this plat
form-and I am told that Governor
Stone of Missouri is the inventor-in-
sist that it offers the only way in
which the Democrats can possibly
reap any advantage from the war. and
that II will meet with so much public
approval rs 10 gain them majority i'll
