CHANDLER ON AGUINALDO.
Has Been Investigating the Claims OF
the Philippine Insurgents.

New York. Oct. 5.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Senator William E. Chandler has
just ended a brief visit 70 Washington,
returning to his home in New Hamp-
shire and expecting to replain in that
state until after the election. Before
his departure the senator said. Ia rela-
ton to the Philippine question:
Since the arrival in Washington OF
Senior Felipi Agoncillo and his secre-
tary, Senior AliXto Lopez of Manila,
have had several extended interviews
with Senior Agoncillo and have endeav-
cred to familiarize myself with his
plans. He represents President Agui-
naldo and the parliamentary govern
ment of which he is the head. Ills frs;
desire is that the treaty of Paris shall
provide that Spain shall wholly relin-
quish the Philippine islands, and, sec
ondly, he is anxious that the expert
ment of self-government may be tried
by the people of the islands, with the
assent and assistance Of the United
States. 1t seems very clear that the
people of the islands will not again
submit to Spanish r':ie, from which
they are not actually freed, throughout
nearly the whole territory, and there
fore, If the United States forces should
be withdrawn and Spain should at
tempt to re-subdue the islands, a
bloody struggle would ensue, the exist
ence Of which would dishonor the
United States.
Assuming such a withdrawal 10 be
impossible upon the surrender of Span
ish sovereignty. the natural question
WIFI be whether the people are capable
OF self-government, to which they as
pre-. That they are so capable Senior
Agoncillo asserts his belief, and saws
that If by any possibility it turns out
that he is mistaken, the people will be
willing to be guided by the United
States to any other Just solution of the
important problem OF government
which will arise upon the extinguish-
ment of the power Of Spain.
Il hope that the American
commissioners at Paris will find it
possible to accomplish the one great
object stated. namely the abandonment
OF the islands by Spain. II that can be
done, feel certain that there will be no
serious difficulties encountered in de
Gliding further questions that may i'm
m~ediately rise as to the control, gov
eminent and disposition OF the islands,
Judging from the insight which | have
been able to obtain from Senior Agon-
clio into the desires and purposes of
President ~Aguinaldo and his associ-
ates."

sPANIARDs WANT MORE TIME.
Say They Cannot Evacua;e Cuba I'm.
m~ediately.

Havana, Oct. Sat the joint session
yesterday of the United States and
Spanish military commissions, the
| Spaniards, according to a report, de-
clared it was impossible to evacuate the
Island Immediately, while the American
commissioners insisted that their in
structions called for an immediate
evacuation. After two hours confer
ence On the subject, the joint commits
sions were unable to reach any definite
agreement.
The American commissioners on
their return to headquarters at Trotcha
hotel, Vedado. were busily engaged in
translating the stenographer's notes
and in sending code messages to Wash
ington.
The distribution Of rations from the
Comal, now at Matanzas. began yester-
day.
Mrs. Sampson, the wife of Rear Ad-
miral Sampson, has engaged a Spanish
teacher.
The Cuban general, Pedro Diaz.
spent yesterday on the outskirts of the
city Of Pinar del Rio, where he was
enthusiastically welcomed by the pop
ulation.
The well-known insurgent leader,
Juan Gilberto Gomez and Colonel Gar
cha, a son OF General Calixto Garcia of
the Cuban army. accompanied by Major
Pinillos, have arrived here as a special
commission, charged with the task of
uniting the different Cuban parties in
favor Of independence.
Captain General Blanco today sus-
pended the order issued several days
ago to disband the provisional battal-
lion. reinforcing the regular troops.
The reason for this step is not known.
Mr.. Charles W. Gould of New York,
the special representative Of the de-
partment Of Justice on the United
States Cuban military commission,
visited the supreme court today and OBJ
tanned considerable information in ref
erence to the administration Of justice
in Cuba.

Calling and Hatchkiss guns. They could
have been used with magnificent effect
today. The Indians had fired twenty
five shots before the troops returned
their fire. But General Bacon will en-
trenche himself tonight and await re-
Inducements.
The wounded city marshal of Walker
was brought home under a Red Cross
flag aboard the Flora. He will recover,
but his life is not worth a pinch Of
snuff now SO long as there are any
Bear island Indians remaining in the
country. Marshal O'Connor and Dep
uty Marshal Sheehan behaved with ut
most bravery. The latter, an old man
Of sixty, but the hero of Fort Ridgley
stood yelling at the men to keep their
heads down. while himself standing
erect and b~are-headed.
The young Lieutenant Morrison is a
plucky one. He has never been under
fire before, but there he stood as steady
as a rock and cool as an iceberg. The
men behaved splendidly. O'Connor
was put ashore in a hostile country and
ran for miles over thistles and through
brush to reach the Leech lake agency.
All families are being removed from
the agency at this time. l am going

entered in another part of the book.
In referring to the book. Mr.. Graham
said that in all entries Of the amount
of the state deposit, there was a deduc-
ton of the amount Mr.. Quay had in
use, and there was never one dollar OF
interest credited against it. He said
there were frequent entries of Due
O." Due NJ. S. o. and Due Quay"
All through the ordeal. Senator Quay
bore an air Of composure. He prompted
his lawyers frequently and passed judy
ment on every point raised.
The senator tonight, in response to
an inquiry for a statement by a report
er Of the Associated Press, said:
Il think that no n who was pres
ent at the hearing today entertains any
doubt "a to the truthfulfulness of the
charge boldly made by my counsel, that
this proceeding was instigated by po-
litical enemies of mine, who hide be-
hind the district attorney and will not
permit him to revea their names, and
that their sole purpose was to manufac-
ture campaign literature by false
charges that could not be met and an
swered except on a trial in court.

lutely false and wholly without foun-
datlon. | have always had an account

protected for any loans | Obtained from

Not a single share of stock was ever
bought for me, either directly or indi-
rectly, with public money, and my let
tiers which were offered in evidence
themselves clearly show this. Nor did
| ever have the use or benefit, either di-
rectly or indirectly, to the extent of one
penny, of any of the states money on
deposit in the Peoples bank. Nor did

ty.
AS to my sons transaction, which
was perfectly legitimate, | had nothing
whatever to do with it, except that
having full confidence in his ability to
pay the loan at maturity, | indorsed his
paper and it was fully paid at maturi-
ty."
