r San Francisco, Sept. 29.-The Even
which it makes known the plans of the
Germans in regard to the disposition
of the Philippines. 1t will be remem-
bered that some time ago the Post
published an exclusive article regard
ing the seizure Of the Ladrone islands
by the United States. The details of
this plot on the part of the government
were furnished by a gentleman high in
the opinion of government officials Of
this country and Germany. The same
gentleman now states that Germany is
endeavoring to embitter the followers
of AGuinaldO against the Americans
and that she has officers in their ranks,
secretly drilling them. The gentleman
in question says that this has been go
ing on for years and prior to the inter
ference Of the United States in the
Philippine affairs almost every German
vessel that landed there carried one
or more officers in disguise and stacks
of arms and ammunition for the in
SurgentS.
The Posts informant has just re-
ceived a letter from an authoritative
source in Hamburg, giving the details
of Germany's future in the islands.
Briefly the plan is as follows: Ger
many will send numerous trading yes
sells to the islands and will arm 10000
Filippinos, besides furnishing Krupp
guns and artillery for field use. The
islanders will be thoroughly drilled by
German officers, and by February
Senior AguinaldO will be prepared to
make an onslaught upon the American
forces. To aid this plot, the letter
says that Germany is trying to induce
China to purchase a large number of
big war vessels, Ostensibly to strength
en- her navy, but really to be held for
transfer to Germany should comphca-
tions arise.
The German agents, who have made
a report to their government, say that
it viii be impossible for the United
States to land more than $4,000 men
in the Philippines before Aguinaldo is
ready to make his coup. The German
report of the condition of affairs says
that Americas only hope is to disarm
the insurgents.
The Post attributes the recent order
ing of additional troops to Manila af-
ter their mastering out had been or
dered, as an indication that the United
States has been informed of Germany's
attempt to Illustrate American acqui-
Sition of the islands.

he did not. Sam was doomed. The

that precinct stood on every ballot.
Matson should have been nominated
for assessor. He was entitled to it.
He could have had the recordership,
but withdrew so a woman could be

the session was devoid of enthusiasm.

sTERNBERG's EXPLANATION.
Soldiers Themselves to Blame For
the Sickness.

Huntsville, Ala, Sept. 23.-Secretary
of War Alger and party, who arrived
at Huntsville at 1 o'clock this morning.
inspected Camp Wheeler under the
guidance of General Coppinger today.
Before going to camp the men now here
were reviewed by the party from a
stand. After a luncheon the party left
for Admission.
Surgeon General Sternberg said that
the present camps of the soldiers were
healthful, and he expected a rapid de-
crease in sickness.
In speaking of the cause Of so much
sickness earlier, he said that the whole
trouble grew out of the sudden out
break of the war, neceSsitating the
raising of an immense army Of men
without time to train them and to es
tablish proper places for their care. The
men were unused to army life restric
tons, and they violated sanitary and
other regulations with impunity. The
water supply at some of the camps has
undoubtedly been polluted by improper
drainage and sanitary system, and
much sickness was caused by it.

PLEA TO THE POWERS.
Aguinaldo Asks Recognition of Phil
ippine Independence.

4Rc444C SOA-NAOAON-
Chicago, Sept 23.-The Tribune's
special from Manila, dated Aug. 30. via
San Francisco, Sept. %, says:
Aguinaldo and his chiefs have made
a plea to the powers for recognition OF
belligerency and independence. Agon-
clio, his agent, who was a pas
senger on the steamer China. is on his
way to Europe to submit the question
to foreign arbitration. Before pro-
ceeding to Europe, AgOncillo will stop
in Washington and attempt TO impress
the administration with his appeal. No
mention of the United States nor any
American force is made in the docu-
ment which he carries. The appeal IS
as follows:
ITO the Foreign Powers revo-
lutionary government of the Philip
pines, which was constituted accord
ing to the scheme explained in the
proclamation dated June %, in which
the true causes of the Philippine reyo-
luton were set forth, has demonstrated
that this popular movement is due to
the unanimous desire for just laws by
a people who aspire to progress and
perfection and which can only be OBJ
tanned by one road to liberty.
This revolution actually dominates
the provinces of Cavlte, BantangaS,
Mindoro, Tayabas, Laguna, Morong,
vaecija, Tarlac, Pangasinan, Intanta
Zambales and the capital city of Ma
Mia In these provinces there reign
good order and perfect tranquility.
Laws are administered by authorities
who were elected by the people accord
ing 10 the regulations of organic de-
crees of June is and %.
1.-The revolution also has some 5000
prisoners of war and these are treated
with all the usages and regulations of
civilized warfare and humanitarian
sentiment. On a war footing We have
sc, 900 cOmbatants organized in the form
of a regular army.
I'm this condition the chiefs of COM
munities in the before mentioned pro-
vinces, DESTROYS of interpreting the SEN
timents that animate those by whom
they have been chosen, having pro-
claimed the independence OF the Phil
ippines, have requested the revolution
airy government to entreat and pray OF
the foreign governments to acknOwl-
edgment of the belligerency and indie
pendence of the Philippines.
ITO prove the complete security IN
which the FilippinOs now live, how
they are both able and willing to gov
ern themselves, the accompanying doc
ument, signed by the chiefs, is sub
mitted with this appeal. Exercising the
authority invested in me as president
of the revolutionary government or the
Philippines, and in the name and as
representative of this people, l impiQre
the aid of all the powers of the civil
lied world and beg them earnestly TO
proceed with the formal recognition OF
the belligerency of the Philippines and
of the government.
THE powers are the means desig-
mated by providence to maintain the
equilibrium between people, supporting
the weak and checking the strong and
thus by this means there will be real
lied complete justice and indefinite
progress of humanity.

The above is the ticket nominated by
\ the Republicans yesterday. 1t is the
result Of shrewd manipulation on the
part of the Mckinley men. Whenever
a silver Republican stuck his head UP,
they took crack at it. As a result,
all the members of the legislative tick
ct, with the possible exception of E. l..
Cushing of Bingham, are Mckinley
Republicans.
The three nominees for the state SEN
ate are aVowed Mckinley men. There
was a little doubt about Gill s. PeytOn,
but he removed that after the conven-
ton By stating that he did not vote
for Bryan and was not ashamed of II.
Those who knew Peyton oest were
confident that he was a gold man. for
the story was in circulation yesterday
that a. one time he got fooled on a
gold brick and has been trying to get
even by going after the genuine ever
since.
Mr.. Pickard as is we'll known, is so
Iapt in his attention to the wool inter-
ests that he could be nothing else than
a Mckinley man. While he processes
a liking for silver, with him wool is
the main chance. and so long as that
is taken care of he cares little what
becomes of the product of the mines.
John c. M&ckey of Draper is
staunch supporter Of all the admins
tration does, no matter what il may be.
On the ticket for the lower house, ALL
with the exception of Mr.. Cushing, are
Mckinley Republicans, although those
nearest Mr.. Loofbourow say he was a
silver man and he is claimed by both.
The rule was applied with rigor to
the county candidates. w. w. Wilson,
W II. Haigh and Hal Brown all have
Mckinley leanings, the two first named
especially.
Peter Condie is a Mckinley man and
always was. Arthur z. Graham is sus-
pected OF loving Mckinley more than
