FOR ANN ExATION.
A Large Majority in the Congress of the
Filipinos, &

San Francisco, October 22.-The United
States transport Rio de Janeiro, which
arrived here today brought the following
to the Associated Press, dated Manila,
September 20:
The Philippine congress has been in ses-
sion since Thursday, September 49, The
first thing that was decided was that
the Philippine republic should not
countenanoe any policy whereby Spain
would have anything further to say with
the islands and would resist by force OF
arms any such measure. A vote was
taken on the policy of annexation to the
American republic and annexation was
decided upon by a large majority, some
seven out of eight voting in favor OF an
nexation. Aguinaldo now expresses him
self as personally in favor Of annexation,
adding that he does not think the ma
tiyes generally will support such poll
cy. When interviewed by the Associated
Press representative, September IL,
Aguinaldo stated that his army consisted
of $1,000 insurgents, regularly armed
and equipped with modern weapons and
that he had some 5000 prisoners OF war.
He stated that an army of 1907 900 could
easily be raised to fight for indepen-
dence. When asked how it was that
some natives openly declared themselves
in favor of annexation to America no
stated that those natives who pretended
to favor annexation were 1nsincere In
what they said. They were merely trying
to find out the intentions Of the Ameri-
cans. He expressed himself as entertain
ing the greatest friendship for the Ameri-
can people, adding that he hoped there
would be no trouble between the rspub-
lie of the Philippines and the republic
of America.
For some time past the insurgents have
been disarming Americans passing
through their lines, but Aguinaldo dis
claim having authorized any such con-
duct on the part of his men. Aguinaldo's
attention was called to the incident of
September 9, when the Pennsylvania
regiment proceeded to establish q new
outpost some distance beyond the form
er one, within the lines of the insurgents
and an insErgent company objected to
its being done. The captain of the COM
pany nearly precipitated hostilities by
ordering the Americans to withdraw
within 20 minut
Aguinaldo was very emphatic in stat
ing that the Filipino whom thus attempt
ed to obstruot the movement of the Ame-
ricans was only a pretended officer of the
| insurgent army.
1t is generally reported about Manila
that many insurgents are not in sympa
| thy with Aguinaldo and do not Include
| themselves among his followers.
Aguinaldo denied having received any
| order or request from Gen. Otis or Admi-
raj Dewey to remove his troops to pre-
soribed distance beyond the fixed city linn
| its of Manila and Cavite. and further de-
clincd to state whether he would remove
| his troops If so requested.

REIGN OF TERROR IN VIENNA.
Doctor Cultivated the Bacillus and an At
tendant was Injected.
DIR. Egbert Took 1t Himself.

Copyright 1895 by the Associated Press.
London, October 22.-The outbreak OF
bubonic plague at Vienna, due to the ex-
periments in Prof. Nothnagle's bacterl-
illogical establishment in the cultivation
OF the plague bacillus, has spread terror
at the Austrian capitol. Five cases In
addition to that of the late Herr Barisch,
tie assistant in the establishment who
contracted the bubonic plague while
culUivating the bacillus. have now CO.
Cured They are two nurses in the
laboratory, another of the assistants, Herr
Barisch's wife, and DR.. Mueller, the
physician who attended Herr Barisch.
The last sacramento Of the Roman
Catholic church were administered to the
latter and to one of the nurses BY a priest,
through window of the plague cells.
DR.. Mueller was considered an author
ity on the plague, having been to bonn
bay for the purpose of studying it on the
spot and he survived all the dangers
there. The disease at Vienna has assumed
a pneumonia form. There are no boils
but each case is accompanied by high
fever and blood splitting. Extraordinary
precautions have now Teen taken to pre-
vent an epidemic. The patients lie in an
isolated building. attended by DR.. Pooch,
volunteer physician, and by sisters OF
charity.
They are surrounded by rope across
which nobody is allowed to pass. DR..
Pooch writes the prescip tions and fastens
them to the window pane. The doctors
outside read them and have them made
up. Then the prescriptions are placed on
the window ledge. from which they are
removed by those inside. Food is con-
veyed to the patients and their attendants
by sisters of charity in a similar manner
and the nurses furnish accounts by tele
phone of all changes in the patients con-
dition. Every person who has come in
contact with Herr Barisch, principally the
hospital attendants, has been isolated.
The excitement in medical circles Ii
tremendous. The well known chemist,
Prof. Hofrotz Luding. has made pa
thetic speech, during which he expressed
the hope that the doctors of Vienna will
prove themselves equal to all emergencies.
This reveals the fact that it is the opinion
of medical men at the Austrian capital
that the plague as likely to spread in that
city.
A painful feature of the Viennese stu
alton is the INSCRIPTIONS attitude of the
Semitic newspapers, which are &C.
cusing the Jewish doctors of bringing the
plague to Vienna. 1t is feared that this
appeal to the worst passions of the mob
will lead to riots against the Jews if the
disease spreads.

ARCHBISHOP KEENE CALLED TO
ROME.

New York. October 22.-The Herald
tomorrow will publish the following:
Archbishop ikeene's departure for Rome
on tine Werra Saturday was surprise
to his friends in this country. He had
not intended to sail until December
when Archbishop Ireland of st. Paul was
to have gone with him. Bis hurried de-
parture, prominent Catholic clergyman
said, was due to the fact that he was
summoned to Rome to make report on
the state of feeling in America in regard
to the annexation of the Philippines
and the attitude of the American people
toward the Catholic church in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the other new American
possessions. Archbishop Keene attended
the meeting of the arohbishops OF tne
United States held in Washington week
ngo and consulted with the different
srchbishops as to the views of the dloceses
as to the church taking aggressive steps
toward Americanizing the new posses
sions.

FOOT BALL TODAY.
The p. A. O. Eleven win Play Its First
Game.

The postponed foot ball game between
the Portsmouth and Portland athletic
club elevens, will take place this after
and big crowd will undoubtedly be on
hand to see the sport.
Both teams are composed of star players
and they are all big fellows. They have
had years of experience at the game and
it will be case of Greek meeting Greek.
The grounds today will be in perfect
shape and this will add greatly TO the
beauty of the game for the elevens will
be able to work all their fancy plays.
The greatest interest is being manifested
in the outcome of the contest, for the
team representing the Athletic club is one
of the strongest ever organized in Maine
while the Portsmouth eleven has been
defeated but once in the three years it
has been in existence.
Walter Woods who will probably play at
fullback for the visitors. is well-known
in Portland for it was here that he made
his debut as professional base ball
player. Woods has been one of the star
pitchers of the Chicago club during the
past season and is just as much at home
in foot pail suit as he is in a base ball
uniform.
There will probably be big delega-
ton of base ball enthusiasts on hand this
afternoon just to sac Woods.
The teams will limo up at O'Clock
sharp and the halves will probably be fiji
teen and twenty minutes each.
The Portland club is more than anxious
to win its first game, but the players
realize that they . have no easy task
to defeat the Portsmouth eleven.
1t will be great game and there will
be a big crowd of rooters on hand to en-.
courage the local team.
