AT ILOlLO
TO BE PROTECTED AGAINST
INSURGENTS
AMPLE FORCE ON THE WAY
Otis and Dewey Do Not Wait for
instructions but Proceed to
Suppress Lawlessness
Associated Press Special Wire

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The admins
tration has taken steps to safeguard Ameri'
can interests in the city OF llolHo, IN the
island of Panay, one of the Philippine arch
pelago, and military and naval expedition
is now on its way there from Manila. Cable
advices were received here today from Geh-
eral Otis, commanding the military forces
in the Philippines, and Admiral Dewey,
commanding the naval forces there, show
ing that they are acting in concert IN the
matter General Otis reported that he had
dispatched two regiments and battery OF
artillery to Ioilo on army transports, and
Admiral Dewey notified the navy depart
ment that the cruiser Baltimore had sailed
from Manila for the same place.
1t is explained that these officers are act
ing upon their own discretion in the matter,
and that no official advices have been re.
ceived here to indicate that there, is any
unusual lawlessness in Ioflo. Several days
ago ii was reported by way of Madrid that
the Spanish forces in Ioilo had been at
tackled by the insurgents and had driven
them back with heavy losses, but this re-
port lacks official confirmation. The United
States expedition is more in the nature OF
preeaution, but will take active measures
for the suppression of lawlessness in case
the condition of affairs require it.
A telegram was received from Manila to-
day saying that the collier Nigilant had ar
rived at Manila with her cargo on fire, but
giving no details.
Admiral Dewey is anxious for the arrival
OF the Buffalo, which is now near Malta en-
route to Manila, in order that he may send
home a number of men whose terms of en-
listment have expired.

GORMAN'S LATE DEFEAT
MAKES HIM A PRESIDENTIAL
POSSIBILITY
NOT A FREE SILVER ADVOCATE
Which Would Gain Eastern Support at
the Expense Of Loss in
the West

Special Correspondence to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Dec 22.-The star OF
Senator German is slowly but surely rising
above the horizon as candidate tor the
Democratic presidential nomination In l90O
In and around Washington and New York
he is regarded as the most available condi-
date for the post that has yet been named.
1t is admitted that the west tavors Bryan as
its standard bearer, but it would be foolish
for anyone to underestimate the strength
that German is developing.
The entire east, which in 1896 constituted
the enemy's country, is still bitterly opposed
to Bryan and has apparently picked out
German as his rival. The latter, while he
supported the ticket faithfully in 1896, is
nevertheless understood to be opposed to
the free coinage of silver and his nomination
would mean the permanent shelving of that
question: thing that would greatly delight
the east.
At first sight it may seem strange that a
man should be even discussed for such
pest who had failed to carry his own state
or to be reelected to the senate. But there
is story behind Senator Germans defeat
which is better understood now than it was
year or so ago. The Baltimore Sun is Of
course responsible for Maryland's going Re-
publican both in 1894 and 1896. Its object
in the first of these campaigns, at least ao-
mittedly, was to defeat German, whatever
came to the party. Everybody in Mary
land used to swear by the Sun, and when
it asserted that German was boodier, most
people believed it. But now they have
pretty well awakened to a realization of the
fact that the Sun had an axe to grind, and
that there were financial interests behind its
hostility, involving the question of taxation
on its building and plant. GoHnan sup
ported law that would make the Sun pay
its due share OF the taxes and the Sun OBJ
iected. The paper has lost caste tremer
dously.
1t is curious fact that no senator has
ever laid down the toga to assume the pres
idency. Garfield was a senator-elect when
he was chosen president, but had never
taken his seat Monroe, j. O. Adams, jack
son, Van Buren, W. Fl. Harrison, Pierce,
Buchanan, Tyler and Benjamin Harrison
served in the senate, but were not members
when nominated for the presidency. Cass
and Douglass were the only two senators
that were ever nominated willie senators,
and both were defeated. Hence, those who
profess to be soothsayers in the case of Sen
ator German, declare that it is really good
thing for him to leave the senate now, as, if
he stayed, he would not be nominated, and
if he were, would be defeated.
Benjamin Harrison was defeated for re-
election to the senate in the same way just
year before he was nominated for and
elected president.

A Censored Special

CHICAGO, Dec. pa censored special
cable to the Tribune from Havana says:
Rioting began at Montserrat tonight. A
battalion of Spanish troops hurried from
the barracks on the Prado to Galiano street,
the dividing line between Cuban and Span
ish territory.
Order was restored, but in the firing which
occurred before the troops arrived an eight
yearold Cuoan child was killed by stray
bullet.
Spanish territory in the new world is now
limited to a narrow strip of land between
Havana harbor and Galiano street. The
flags of Cuba Libre and the United States
are waving within two blocks of the Prado,
a great boulevard which runs through the
center OF Havana.
Montserratt having been evacuated, the
place was alive today with Cubans and peo-
pie from the United States. The scene
enacted at Cerro and Nedado last week and
at Jesus del Monte yesterday was repeated
at Montserrat. There was even a greater
demonstration, for Montserrat comes al
most to the city. Some OF the flags leaped
across the dividing line and waved on the
Spanish side. The celebration begun on
Christmas night, today reaching its height
Crowds of men and women waving Cuban
and American flags and carrying branches
OF trees paraded the streets, shouting and
singing.
Many Americans went over to see the
demonstration. They did not remain long.
Owing to the intense enthusiasm, the popu-
lace insisting on kissing 'the brave Ameri-
canos," whether they wanted to be kissed or
not.
Several affrays took place between the
Spanish residents and the Cubans. A
grocery keeper on Oquendo street refused
to put up the Cuban colors and was beaten
almost to death with sticks. As evening
came on the demonstration became noisier
than ever, as many of the negroes parading
were drunk and greatly excited. The
Americans became fearful of another clash
with the Spanish troops like that which
ushered in Christmas day.
Francisco Luinteso, a Spanish volunteer
patrolling the street near the Prado, was
fired at from a house top and killed.
Cuban was killed in the heart of the city.
Half dozen Cubans and Spaniards were
shot or stabbed in atfrays about the city.
There was fight between Cubans and
Spanish in front of the United States club
at midnight. Several CT the participants
were badly cut with machetes. Many
American soldiers who were in town be-
have6 so boisterously that General Ludlow
says he is sorry that they We're permitted
to come into Havana, and in future none
will be permitted except on strictly military
business.

TROUBLE AT PANA
Innumerable Brawls Between Union
Miners and Negroes

PANA, H., Dec 26.-The Christmas fes-
tivities have resulted in innumerable
drunken brawls and encounters between
union and negro non-union miners. Four
of the latter are in jail and as many more
are nursing serious wounds. Two negroes
fought duel with knives in West Pana, and
both were badly cut up.
James Meyers, a negro miner, was as
saulted tonight by unidentified persons, and
his injuries are reported to be fatal. A negro
miner named Snyder attempted to shoot his
wife. A bystander turned the gun, and
the charge entered Snyder's right lung,
making a fatal wound. The provost guard
today arrested twenty persons, among them
City Treasurer Corwin, Mine Operator
Overholtz, exDeputy Sheriffs Buckley and
Ny Burger, and Secretary Treasurer Ellison
of the local miners union, who were found
with arms upon them.

DISCRIMINATING Duty
FAILS TO KEEP OUR GOODS OUT
OF CANADA
In Spite Of Tariff Disadvantage Ex-
ports to Canada Show q Steady
and Large Increase

NEW YORK, Dec. GA special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The new Canadian tariff does not appear
to have decreased exports from the United
States to the Dominion. That measure,
enacted in 1897, provided that goods enter
ing Canada from Great Britain and her
colonies should enjoy tariff rate Of 20
per cent less than that collected on goods
from other countries, one-haf of that re-
duction going into effect on August !, 1897,
and the remainder on August !, 1898. The
expectation from the United States to Can
ada has, therefore, since August !, 1898,
been made under whatever disadvantage the
new discriminating rates of that tariff al
ford. 1t is therefore interesting to compare
the figures of the exports to Canada since
that date both with those of the correspond
ing months of 1897, in which only one-half
of the discriminating rate was in operation
and with those of 1893, within which no dis
eliminating rate existed.
The figures of the treasury bureau of sta
trade are now available for the months OF
August, September and October. They show
that during those three months of 1898, in
which the full 25 per cent reduction in favor
of Great Britain and her colonies was in
operation, exports from the United States
to Canada were larger than in any cores
ponding three months in the history OF our
commerce WIFI tudt COuully. Ill AoSe, oI0
exports from the United States to Canada
have never shown more rapid gains than
since the enactment of the new Canadian
tariff, gaining to imports'from Great Britain
and her colonies over those from the United
States.
In the first three months of its opera
ton in 1897, the discrimination in favor
of goods from Great Britain increased only
l21s per cent, exports from the United States
to Canada increased nearly $4,000, 900, COM
pared with the corresponding months of
1895, against an average gain of $2,5OO, 900
in corresponding periods of earlier years.
In August, September and October. 1898,
however, which were under the full opera
ton of the new law, the increase over the
corresponding months of 1897 is more than
s5,OOo,oOo. The total exports. from the
United States to Canada in August, Sep
tember and October of the present year
under whatever of disadvantage the new
law in its full operation affords, are nearly
fifty per cent in excess OF the corresponding
months OF 1896 and practically double those
of the corresponding months of 1894.

ing the last twenty four hours one man has
been killed and twelve have been wounded

burglaries have been committed. The city
is in state of unrest. Three more wards

mally turning over the island to the Ameri-
cans OIL January lst, will leave for Matanzas,
where he win remain for fortnight, going
thence to Cienfuegos.

til further orders.
Some disturbances have occurred in San
Lazare street and store there has been

commissioners have sent a staff officer with
a detachment of troops to the scene OF dis
order. The Eighth and Tenth regular in
fantry regiments are encamped near the

The Spanish troops are evacuating the
city so rapidly that it is almost impossible
for the Americans to provide promptly for
the preservation of peace. The proclama
ton of the United States commissioners ap-
peared in extra editions OF the Spanish
newspapers this evening.
Major General Buffers mission to Matan-
zas and Cienfuegos is in the interest of san
