 NOTHING SHORT
 OF INDEPENDENCE FiIipinos Desire Absolute Free-
 dom and Not Annexation. MESSAGE CALLED TO MADRID That if Complete Autonomy is Granted I.A:x,o. WIFI Grr,,nrf Snan-
That if Complete Autonomy is Granted the Natives Will Support Span ish Rule in Preference to That
 of the United States.

Manila. November 1, Via San Francisco, December 19.-All sorts of rumors are cur rent here as to what the Philippine repup- lie is doing with reference to the settle- ment of the Philippine question, but the Filipino newspapers insist that nothing put absolute independence. will be accepted by the natives.
 Senor Paterno, president of the Philip pine assembly, is said to have cabled a long message to Madrid a few days ago to the effect that if Spain would guarantee au- tonomy and other reform measures the whole country would support Spanish rule in preference to any other form of foreign government
 The claim so strenuously made by the natives that they are a highly civilized race is not borne out by facts, according to Spanish refugees from the north, who have just reached here. They say that after the surrender of the town of Aparri the insurgents formed a parade, the cen- tral feature of which was Spanish lieu tenant, who was carried along the streets suspended from a bamboo pole, to which his hands and feet were tied, just as hogs are carried here by coolies. On arrival at the plaza the procession halted, the pole
 
 squad of rebels proceeded to terrorize their helpless victim by shooting as close to his head as was possible without wounding him.
 When the unfortunate man was uncon- scious with terror the procession moved on again. Another refugee states that because a Spanish officer threw some papers which he did not wish the rebels to have into cesspool, the natives dropped him into the hole and compelled him to recover the papers, after which he was paraded through the streets for hours.
 The Spanish priests who were captured fared somewhat better, according to all re- ports, for the rebels organized them into an extempore brass band to head their pro- cession and by dint of kicks and blows compelled their captives to produce plaints of dtscord, which highly amused the natives.
 The natives indignantly deny these allega- tions and their newspapers retaliate by printing horrible stories of atrocities prac- ticed by the Spaniards before the surrender of Manila, one of them even publishing the afidavits of victims:
 The present unpleasant weather Is having its effects on the health of the Amerioen troops, hundreds of whom are suffering from cramps and ohills, occasionsd by the daMpness of their quarters. The total number of patients in the hospital how ever, is 750, of which only eighteen were smallpox and about 200 fever patients.

LEVIED ON CARS.
Will Washington of Birmingeam At
 taches M. & O. Cars in Atlanta.

Atlanta, December 19.-(Special)-The Journal this afternoon says:
 "Bailif Bradley of Justice Foute's court, levied on thirteen freight cars of the Mo- bile and Ohio railroad Saturday afternoon.
 ''The cars are in the various railroad yards in the city, and the bailiff is now busily engaged keeping track of them.
 'The levy was made under an attach ment sworn out by Will Washington. who alleges in the attachment that he has been damaged in the sum of $15, ,OO0 by the Mo- bile and Ohio railroad. He is represented by Messrs. Hoke Smith and H. c. Peoples.
 "Washington claims that six months ago he was employed by the road as brake man, and that while passing over a trestle one day the car on which he was riding turned over. The debris was piled on top of him for six hours. As result of the accident he has incipient phthisis and other serious injuries.
 "Some of the cars levied or are loaded with cotton but they will remain in the bailiff's hands until the road gives bond"
 Washington formerly lived in Birming- ham where he has relatives.

FIRE AT TERRE HAUTE
Caused $2,ooo,ooo Damage to Build
 ings and Goods.

Terre Haute, Ind, December 19-The worst fire in the history of Terre Haute took place tonight, causing loss of nearly &, ,O00, ,O00 The blaze started in the big show windows of the Ravens & Gaddes com pany, wholesale and retail dealers in dry goods and notions. The cause is not defi- nitely known, ut it is supposed that live electric wire set fire to the cotton with which the window was decorated and be- fore the blaze could be extinguished spread to the decorations of evefgreens in the store and the building was wrapped in flames in an incredibly short space of time.
 A number of small concerns were utterly annihilated in the fall of the rear wall of the Havens & Geddes wholesale house and the losses in their case will more than mark.
