MERRIIT1T'S OPINION.
Philippines Would Be Valuable
to United States.
NAY HAVE TOLD COMMISSION.
rhe GeneralIE interviewed In London.
AgoncilIo Claimed Dewey Promised In
surgents Independence-Mer Salts
fed There Was No Agreement.

LONDON, Oct 20.-The Globe pub
lished an interview which correspond
ent had with Agoncillo, the representa-
i've Of Aguinaldo, before the former
left Hongkong for Washington and
Paris. Agonclllo is quoted as declaring
that the insurgents had formal verbal
agreement, with Rear Admiral Dewey,
whereby absolute freedom was promised
them in return for their assistance.
Major General Wesley Merritt, who
has arrived here, said that from con-
versations he had with Admiral Dewey,
he was satisfied that no arrangement
had been entered into with the Philip
pine leaders. The general added:
IF the Filipinos were allowed indie
pendenee now it would result in fight
ing between the leaders, which would
be more disastrous than any revolution
which has hitherto broken out. Agui-
naldo's following is slim. and if there
was an election today | do not believe
he would be chosen president
The trend of General Merritt's evil
dence, or advice, furnished to the
United States peace commission at
Paris, may be gathered from the fol-
1OWAhS SuooCluClloo w IlCu u6 ulhu6 ucIo.
"While some of the Filipinos are
able, am rot acquainted with any one
of them who is capable of governing.
81 do not believe the insurgents will
resist the Americans. But there is one
certainty-they will never submit again
to be ruled by the Spaniards.
eff America takes possession of the
Philippine islands it will result in a
new era to the Filipinos and for our
own country. The islands are of i'm
menso strategic value, navally and COM
mercially, and may be easily defended"

BEGINNING TO REALIZE.
Spain Better Understands Our Policy Re
garding Cuba-Postponemen
Granted.

PARIS, Oct. 20.-Judge Day, presi-
dent of the American commission, re-
ceiyed a communication from Senior
Montero Rios, president of the Spanish
commission, saying that advices ex-
pected but not received from Madrid
made it necessary for himself and his
colleagues to request postponement of
any further conferences until Friday
next, which was granted.
The game of diplomacy now progress
ing here has reached stage which
makes it necessary that the next move
be made by the Spanish commissioners
They are confronted by the plain fact
of their protocol agreement to relin-
quish Cuba without Ifs, y lands" or
"buts. 1t has become clear here that
the Spaniards cherished the hope that
they could get around the protocol by
diplomacy. The American commits
sioners, however, have firmly adhered
to the boundary lines already mutually
established and within which they in
sist the Spaniards as well as themselves
shall duly proceed.
1t IS not too much to say that Spain
now has more light than ever before on
the integrity and steadfastness in word
and purpose of the United States. Nor
is it wide Of the fact to say that the
Spaniards are now initially approaching
that the United States did not make
war on Spain to acquire Cuba as a
conquest prize.

We do not see what is the matter
with the letter William j. Bryan ad
dressed the peace jubilee at Chica-
go, explaining his inability to be
present. THE American people, -
he says, ''are prominently peace
loving people, and it is fitting that
they should celebrate the termina-
tion of the present war-a war con-
ceived in an unselfish love for hu-
manity, war which has demon
strated anew the valor of our SOL
diers and seamen, a war which is
destined, let us hope, to establish in
the Orient, as well as in the West
Indies. that doctrine so sacred to the
people Of the United States, namely.
that governments derive their just
powers, not from armies or navies,
but from the consent of the governed.

The announcement that the evac-
uation of Porto Rico had been com
pleted was premature, as San Juan
and several other cities are still held
by the Spaniards, on the plea that
they are waiting for transports to
take them to Spain. 1t is absurd
for this government to accept that
plea, which can so easily be made to
do service for an indefinite period.
The U. S. should take charge at
once and disarm the Spanish troops;
then they could be given all the time
they wanted to return to Spain.

1t would be a good idea to have

it will never be entirely wiped out

AT GLEN PARK.
The Balloon Ascension Yesterday
Was a Complete Success.

horde Of hoodlums made Rome no"i
at Glen Park yesterday. AS result sew
eral of them are registered at the Central
Station, and they are not likely to repeat
their actions The racket started by the
refusal of couple of fellows to pay for
drinks they had ordered, whereupon the
bartender called a special policeman ana
he placed them under arrest. A gang or
their pals interfered, and the fracas soon
spread to many parts Of the grounds. A
message was sent to the Central STATION
and several officers were Immediately dis
patched to the scene, but everything had
auieted down before they arrived.
The balloon ascension made by Profess
sor F. P. Hagel was complete success IN
every particular. The balloon scared to
the dizzy height of 5000 feet from the

Posting Sentries
Under Heavy Fire

CERGEANT GEORGE w. SMALL,
- Company L, First Colorado. had
an experience during the night at
tack of July 81 that will remain green
in his memory for some time to come.
He describes it as follows:
IT was in charge of the outpost sem
tries that night. 1t was my duty to
post the sentries. With the relief l
was sitting in front of the fire think
ing of home when the firing COM
menced and the bullets began TO sing
all around us. The small branches
that were cut away by them fell like
rain. One of the sentries came in and
wanted to know If he could not lie
down as the Mausers were too thick
for comfort. He said he could. see
just as we'll and he thought perhaps
a little better. I told him yes, and
he went back to his post and threw
himself upon the ground. Just then
q bullet ripped up the earth beneath
his leg and one whizzed by my ear.
I told the boys I thought 1t was get
ting too warm by the fire, and that
we had better get behind trees and
cool off. i saw no use in uselessly
exposing myself and men, especially
as we were not in the fight and could
not see from where the bullets were
coming. / felt rather frightened, and
during 1t all I had to leave that tree
and go out and post my relief. / shall
never forget my sensations upon that
night"

Horrible Scenes
. RIvATE Charles Carter, Company
/ K. Tenth Pennsylvania, was an
in the Hospital

. RIvATE Charles Carter, Company
K, Tenth Pennsylvania, was an
other of the soldiers who was
wounded in the memorable attack of
July 81 He was shot through both
lungs and lay for five weeks in the
field hospital at Camy Dewey. From
his cot he witnessed the day attack
upon the city, and his description of
the way in which the wounded men
were brought in and cared for is most
interesting. He says:
"As fast as a man fell he was bun
died into carametta, which is small
two-wheeled cart, generally drawn by
a pony much smaller than the cart.
The wounded soldiers were placed in
these without much regard for their
ease or comfort. A guard escorted
the cart to the hospital, and the pony
was always driven by a native. AS
soon as the hospital was reached the
native backed the cart up to the door
and the man was taken into the OPP
Grating room. At first it was awful,
but finally l grew accustomed to the
sight of men torn and mangled. Their
cries were heartrending until they
were got under the influence of chloro-
form. The physicians operated upon
the soldiers just as rapidly as possible.
Frequently at night the. last sound [
would hear would be the groans Of
some poor IellOW, ana 1t WOulU De the
first sound that fell upon my ears in
the morning. l became accustomed to
the sight of seeing men die and be car
ried out for burial When a soldier
was dead they would sew him up In
sack and take him out. Then a detail
would come for him, and that was the
end of 1t all. 1t was horrible, but
finally I came to look upon death just
as one looks upon any other thing in
life and these daily occurrences made
no impression upon me-"

HE citizens Of San Francisco had
their first real opportunity yester-
day to gaze upon a lot of genuine
heroes. The invalid soldiers who re-
turned on the Rio Janeiro were
the exposures of every eye at the
Preside. Not only were they
visited by the men now en-
camped at the Preside and about
to depart for the Philippines, and who
wanted to know all they had to ex-
pect, but many hundreds of citizens as
well piled the heroes with questions
until the men grew weary of answer
ing. The boys who have been, and
seen and conquered and lived to re-
turn are not 10th to talk and tell OF
their experiences. and while the most
of them, especially those that return
with wounds, are extremely modest
yet pinch of salt has to be taken
with the statements of few.
Major Matthews stated that all OF
the men are doing nicely, and OF the
dozen who are really sick he has hopes
of recovery in all but one case, that OF
Private William s. Jefferson, an I'M
assigned recruit of the First Colorado.
He has typhoid fever with complica-
tons and cannot recover. His death
Is but the question SUI nsG OF co NEW n0uf
deaths s. door do with With the same disease.
The returned soldiers TOOK dQVan-
tage of the beautiful weather to re-
main out of doors as much as possible.
They gathered upon the verandas and
steps of the barracks, and each and
every man was surrounded by an in
terested group of admirers. who lis
tened eagerly to every word that fell
from the lips of him who had been
there Major Matthews permitted the
California boys to go into the city and
visit their homes, and he also allowed
others who had friends here to go and
see them.
The men who have returned will be
furloughed just as rapidly as they get
well enough to leave the hospital.
Those members of the Thirteenth
Minnesota who are sufficiently re-
covered will leave for their homes on
O. private car tonight. The car was
provided for their especial benefit by
the Governor of the State. Some Of
the men are soldiers whose time of
service is nearly up, and who have
been sent back with only a few days
TO serve, and when this is up they will
be discharged. All of the soldiers are
happy to be at home again and not
one of them has so far expressed any
desire to return to Manila. They all
declare that this country is good
enough for them, and that while their
patriotism has not cooled in the future
they will think twice before they go
again.

Doings of the
Men in Camp

THE Utah Troop of Cavalry, which
| has been doing duty in the
Yosemite, has been ordered to the
Preside.
The funeral of Private Deutchen,
Battery I, Third Artillery, who died
at the post hospital of typhoid fever,
took place yesterday afternoon.
Private James N. Meadors of the
Eighth California, who was recently
acquitted of the murder of Private
Try of the same regiment, has been
arrested and confined at the Preside.
He will now have to appear before
a military tribunal to answer the
charge of conduct prejudicial to good
order and military discipline. He can
not be tried for murder again.
The Indiana will sail this week. It
is now expected that the Pennsyl-
vania will get away before the Ohio,
as the latter has required much more
repairing than was at first thought
she would.
Private Charles P Tuthill of the
Corps of Engineers, who was returned
as insane, is thought by Major Mat
thews to be only shamming insanity
The man talks intelligently and there
is nothing about him to indicate that
he is mentally unbalanced He was
tried for conniving with the insur-
gents and was convicted and SEN
fenced to be shot, and it is said that
he escaped upon the groAnds of in
sanity. The man has only fourteeen
more days to serve.
