Harden's Allegations.

Hongkong, Dec. 3O.-The Filipino
junta has replied to the report of Com
missioner Harden. who was sent to the
Philippines by the government of the
United States to report on the condition
there prevailing. The junta asked the
Associated Press to publish the follow
ing as revealing the true situation and
sentiment" in the Philippines:
we deny that Aguinaldo will be sat
isfed if made d major general IN the
command of five native regiments, and
that if this is done the national arIny
could be disarmed and d%isbanded.
repeat our appeal for an i'm
partial inquiry by an able commissioner
and impIore the American people 10 re-
frain from a hasty decision.
The Filipino government views with
alarm Commissioner Harden's proposal
to impose in America q high protective
tariff against Philippine products.
'IlOilO surrendered TO the national
army, which is the completion of the
occupation of the island of Panay.
there is no truth in the reported es-
Establishment of an opposition republic

The FilipinOS are yeaTning Cor Il

To their brothers across the sea, the
Filiplnos send greeting ~ earnest
prayer that with the new year will come
a dawn of a new era of peace, prosperity
and good fellowship with the free and

Manila, Dec. 36.-The British schooner
Esmeralda, which has just arrived here
from the Ladrone islands, reports that
after the United States cruiser Charles
ton left the island Of Guam, in June
last, the %Spaniards refused to recognize
the authority of Francis Portusach,
who was verbally authorized by Cap
tain Glass to act as governor, and 5ose
SistO, a former public administrator,
was declared governor. lie armed part
OF the native guards, collected u tax
of So q head and secreted fifteen tons
OF powder and q small stock Of an.mu-
milton when the island was taken by
the Americans.
The schooner Abb reports the mas
sacre of the Spanish garrison by the
combined native force at Panopi, Caro-
line islands. Henry Naoti, an educated
chief, has been selected to be ruler.
He is said to be favorable to the Amer
leans.
The British cruiser Buenaventura has
gone to Iloilo to protect British inter
ests there.
The Spanish steamer Romulus, which
has just arrived here, confirms the re-
port that the insurgents at Iloilo are
inclined to surrender that town to the
Americans if satisfied as to the form Of
government which will be accorded
them.
Francis Portusach, whom the officers
of the United States cruiser Charleston
left in charge of the Ladrone islands,
being the only American citizen there,
is a native of Spain, where he was born
about thirty years ago. He took out
his citizenship papers in Chicago dur
ing the year 1883. He is said to be the
sen of a wealthy merchant of BARGE
Iona.
Panopi may mean the island of
Puynipa. 1t is probably the second in
size of the Caroline group.

Explained-Police Etchings.

found two Dagos. Then Mrs. Peterson,
a Swede Woman was found in another
room, and finally two colored people.
MI. and Mrs. Will Walker, were routed
from their quarters. Mrs. Peterson
said the Dagos got to fighting, which so
alarmed her hat she cried Police!
Help!" Walker said he thought the
best way to attract the attention Of the
police was TO fire a shot, so he whipped
out his trusty IS" and. raising d win
dow, let her go off. When it came to
the Dagos, they denied point blank
that they had been fighting. Mrs.
Walker said she thought that one of
the Dagos, in coming into the house,
made a mistake and tried to enter Mrs.
Peterson's room, which so frightened
her that she became hysterical. No
arrests were made.

A DILATORY REFEREE.
Interesting Developments In the Ohio
Standard Oil Fight.

Columbus, o., Dec. 30.-Attorney Gen
eral Monnett filed d motion in the su-
preme court this evening, asking that
the order appointing Allen T. Brins-
made referee in the suit instituted

rescinded, and that the testimony be
taken directly in open court. The at
torney general also asks that the Off
GERS, employees and agents of the
Standard Oil company be compelled to
bring into court all books and papers
that may be demanded in evidence.
The hearing before the referee has
been in progress for several weeks and
the attorney general has become impa-
tient owe the repeated delays and post
and failure Of the defend
ants u produce records. In his petit
ton the attorney general says:
ut will appear manifest to the court
from the record of the referee, Allen
T. Brinsmade, hat he has yielded to
the applications for continuance and
delays, and it will be absolutely impos-
sible to furnish the court the necessary
information by reason of said delay.
The state is informed and believes that
mentary evidence have already been
destroyed since the former adjournment
of said referee, on or about Noy. 10,
1898, and The order of said court on
Dec. Z, 1898; that it is further manifest
from the proceedings for the last year
in attempting to bring before this court

which should have been furnished by

Police Etchings.

At 10 o'clock last night a telephone
call at the police Department brought
the information hat a man bearing
some of the traits of a burglar was
wandering around near The Her
aid corner. The informant was Ben I.
Lloyd, who said the fellow had been
going around houses and approaching
in a very suspicious manner,
with his cap pulled low over his eyes.
Chief Pratt started Policeman Davies
out on the case, and it was with visions
of arresting a much-Wanted burglar
that the officer hied away. The fellow
was found all right, but he proved the
embodiment of innocence. He was
a middle-aged man, and had not been
drinking, but was feeble in mind and
had become lost, not being able to find
his way home after dark. He gave
his name, as John Blazzard. and said
he lived out by the "O'Grand." It APP
pears that he is a son of old Blazzard
of "w'ip-stock" fame, well known in
the early days. John was willing to
lodge at the police station all night,
saying he thought he could find his
way home in the morning. When De-
tective Gillespie looked at Blazzard he
