AGUINALDo,s REPUBLIC.
Provisions of the Constitution just
Proclaimed at MalOlOs.

NEW YORK, Sept. Boa dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: "Senor
Agcncilio, the Philippine representative
who has come to Washington to ask that
the insurgents be heard by the peace COM
missioners at Paris has made public a
translation of the Philippine constitution
which Aguinaldo proclaimed at Malolos to-
day. In this constitution Aguinaldo for
mally renounces the title of dictator and as
sumes that of president of the revolutionary
government Of the Philippines. He pro-
vides for four secretaries-the secretary of
state, marine and commerce; the secretary
of war and public works; the secretary of
police, interior, justice public instruction
agriculture and industry. A congress is
provided for, to be composed of representa-
tiveS of all the provinces of the archipelago
An important feature of the constitution in
view of the probability that Aguinaldo will
try to obtain recognition from European
governments, is that part describing the
duties of the secretary of state 1t pro-
vides: The Office of secretary of state shall
be divided into three Experimentation diplo-
macy, for marine and for commerce The
department of diplomacy will study and
transact all business concerning the direc-
ton of diplomatic matters and negotiations
with foreign powers The department of
marine shall study and transact all business
in reference to the formation and Organiza-
ton of a navy and the organization and
equipment of such expeditions as may be
desired by The revolutionary government in
carrying out its purposes and designs. The
department of commerce Will transact all
business pertaining to trade, both internal
and external and all preliminary work for
the making of commercial treaties with
foreign nations.

dismissed official of completely with Kang
Yuwei. the Cantonese reformer, but con-
victs him vaguely as crafty and treacher-
cus.' The true reason for his dismissal
and Punishment. the Times correspondent
asserts, is that Chang Yin Houan was a
powerful supporter of the Emperor's party.
The correspondent of the Globe at Hong
Kong says: Kan Yuwei the Cantonese re-
former, in interviews since his escape from
Picking, has said he fled because the En-
peror informed him of plot to depoSe him
and kill the reform leaders. His Majesty,
the reform leader added, wanted Kang
Yuwei to escape while there was time for
him to do so, and commissioner. him to en-
deavor to obtain protection for the En-
peror and for the empire.
Kang Yuwei has arrived at Hong-kong
on board the steamer Ballarat, which was
escorted by the British second-class cruiser
Bonaventure. He was landed and lodged
at the police barracks. Upon sighting two
Chinese cruisers on her way the Bonaven-
ture cleared for action.

DamRge in Colorado.

ST. PAUL. Mimi. Sept. SO-The forest
fires which have been burning in various
places throughout western Wisconsin for
the past few days were famed into furious
storms of flame by yesterdays winds and
did great damage through Chippewa, Bar
ron. Dunn, st. Croix and Polk counties. A
very general destruction of telegraph wires
make the reports very incomplete, but it
seems that the villages of Clayton. Ale
mena and Poskin have been wholly or
partly destroyed, that Cumberland has suf-
fered heavy losses and that Glenwood, Bar
ron, Prentice. Phillips and Turtle Lake
were saved only by great efforts. Reports
of loss of life are coming in. but have not
been verified, except in one instance. A
railroad bridge and trestle over seven hum
dred feet long, on the 500 line, west of
Barron was burned last night and trains
are running by another route. Fires have
been checked in places by rains and the
subsistence of the winds. A rough estimate
places the aggregate loss at from $S,OO0,003
to $5O00,OO0
