Speech.

That Was the Keynote of AguinaIdo's
Speech.
Manila, Oct. There is considerable
comment here upon Aguinaldos speech
at Malolos on Thursday The keynote
was the independence of the Philippine
islands. During the course of his re-
marks, Aguinaldo said:
Our friends, the Americans, came
for the purpose OF demonstrating the
generosity and grandeur Of their gov
eminent and u assist in releasing the
people from slavery without annexing
the islands. thus setting a good exam
pie We now understand and appre-
ciate the famous Monroe doctrine of
America for Americans, and justice de-
mands they add the Philippines for the
Fllipinos"
Tine insurgent officials express disap-
poinument at the non-attendance of
Americans at the festival at Malolos.
The provincial government has de-
clined to allow an American officer to
inspect the Dagupan prisons and Sc
cure their plans without Aguinaldo' S
sanction.
The half caste interpreter used
threats, and, consequently, Aguinalda
instructed his troops at the railroad
stations beyond Malolos not to allow
any Americans to pass.

A RECORD OF FACTS.
investigating Committee Receives State.
ment about Establishment of Camp
Wikoff

Washington, Oct. 1.-The war investi-
citing committee devoted it's time today
largely to the consideration Of state
ment filed by Nelson Hersh, on behalf
Of the New York World giving what he
styles "a record of facts concerning the
establishment of Camp Wikoff and It's
management together with specific in
stances of abuses, charged TO have ex-
listed, dates, number Of sick in hospitals,
deaths, etc"
The specifications cover q pages of
typewriter matter taking up the
movement OF the Santiago troops after
the surrender of the Spanish at that
place and before the breaking out of
yellow fever there in July. 1t Is assert
ed that at the time Montauk Point was
selected as the site for the camp it was
a barren waste. The details Of the Sc
lection of the camp site are given as
also of the transportation of troops and
1t is asserted that when the first de-
tachment Of 275 troops arrived on the
Sth of August the camp was not ready ia
receive them and they slept under their
blankets and IN the opsn air. as nc
tents had arrived" This, 1t is added,
was II days since 1t had been decided
Continuing, the assertion is made
that by the 10th Of August the sick
were reported suffering from want of
proper accommodations and food, that
their tents were without floors and
with only the blankets between the
sick men and the ground, and that a
glass of sour milk apiece, was the pnly
nourtshment the sick received in "a
hours.
The war department is charged with
frequent changes Of plans, and it is as
serted that Gen. Young was given only
six days for the preparation of the
camp before the arrival Of troops
when two weeks time was necessary
which caused great confusion. On
the 18th of August DR.. Edison visited
the camp and found that the 140(
troops there were almost wholly de-
pendent upon a body of water without
linlet or ontlet and known as For,
pond. for their drinking water. This
pond received the drainage from the
camp, and the doctor found the water
to contain nine grains of salt to the
gallon. This condition, he said, caused
disease and rendered the pond con-
slant menace to health.
BY the Goth of August there were 20,
600 men in camp and 1900 in the hospi-
tai, with many unable to secure admis-
sion from the transports. The state
ment has several witnesses attached to

patience and cheerfulness. The oppos-

zeal that it seems q pity that they did
not meet foemen worthy of their steel.

BIG UNDERTAKING.
Largest Piece of FinancIering Ever Tried
BY Boston Capital.


by Boston Capital.
Boston, Oct. 1.-The reduction in Bos-
ton bank capital and the liquidation of
nine Boston banks is probably the
largest piece of fnanciering ever under
taken by local capital. 1t involves the
transfer of s25, O0O,0 900 of deposits and
the shifting of about $25, 100000 in loans.
1t is very difficult to represent ac-
curately the state of feeling concerning
the consolidation. 1t is declared that nc
$25, 000, 900 bank such as Is proposed to
form out Of those which liQuidate, can
be run in the interests Of the mer-
chants 1t must be run as a collateral
bank which is in favor of the bankers
and brokers, rather than the mercan-
tile community. Bank men generally
are also opposed to the plan
Alanson w. Beard, ex-state treasurer
and ex-collector of the port of Boston
in an interview today on the proposed
consolidation Of banks, said:

cupy the room in which she was found
by the officers. Mrs. Vinney's fears
were removed by the display Of money
and diamonds made by the woman.
Her new tenants face, the landlady
said, bore an expression Of fear. She
got many papers and read them care
fully. She stated that she came from
Aberdeenshire, and explained her

A BIG FIRE.
Nearly Entire Business Section of Colo
RADIO Springs Burned.

tS SR'tu6S GuAHSus
Colorado Springs. Col, Oct 1.-This
city had visitation of fire this after
noon which threatened for four hours
to destroy the entire business district.
The wind was blowing at the rate of As
miles an hour from the southwest when
the fire started at the Denver and Rio
Grande freight depot at the foot Of
Cuchares street at 2.1O o'clock D. M.
and the flames spread with great ra-
pidtty. A strip four blocks long from
north to south and two blocks wide
from east to west. has been burned
over. but at this hour, D. M, the con-
Migration is believed to be under con-
troll.
The flames are still leaping high in the
air all over the burning district. but the
wind has died down and there is no
doubt that the fire engines which have
come from Denver and Pueblo, in re-
Spouse to appeals for aid, Will be able
to confine the flames within the pres
ent limits. The Antiers hotel, one Of the
largest in the west, the lumber yards
and two blocks Of business houses have
been destroyed. The loss Is estimated
at 100000; insured for half that
amount. The general losses OF business
firms are individuals not enumerated
above $465,0
The fire started in a pile of rubbish I'M
derneath the platform at the Denver
and Rio Grande freight depot. Within
five minutes it had communicated to
freight cars standing at the depot, and
1t spread so rapidly that 1t was tmpossi-
Bile to move any of the oars Half a
car Of powder, consigned to g. 8. Barnes
& Sons exploded. The cans were
thrown for hundreds of feet, and the
wonder Is that nobody was injured.
Then came the terrible danger to the
city. Great chunks of fire were scat
tered about, and in few moments the
CriSsey & Fowler lumber yards, 500 feet
away, were burning. The wind was
sweeping a. perfect hurricane. The
flames rushed through the lumber
yards and burned all the light frame
buildings in the block Then they leap
ed acrossNthe street and burned out the
Ell Pasa Lumber Co. and the paint es-
tablishment of SpeFry s. Tucker. A
few minutes after the Newton lumber
yards caught. For a time after this.
it looked as If the Antlers hotel might
be saved, but the heat was too great.
There was not water enough to send
stream half way UP the build
ing At 4 o'clock 1t was burning on the
south end and the famous hotel was
doomed.
