New York, Sept. 10.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila, says that Gen
eral Aguinaldo, in his capacity as presi-
dent or dictator, in calling meeting of
the "Filopine congress" disclosed the
fact that he had planned to have COM
plete control Of that body from the start.
He will obtain control by appointing a
majority of the representatives of the
various districts. This so-called con-
gress is to meet in Malolas, October Is,
so that Aguinaldo may have ample time
to choose men who will uphold him in
the dictatorship.
Last Stronghold Gone.
Santa Cruz, Sept. 10.-The last posi-
tion held by the Spaniards on Manila
bay has been taken by the insurgents
who followed up their success by wreak-
ing vengeance on some Catholic priests.
An American officer of high rank
has said that crisis in affairs here
can not now be delayed many days, a
fact which, he says, should be fully con-
ceded by the government at Washing
ton.

TROOPS SLEEP
IN CHURCHES

Madrid. Aug. 24.-Genersi Jaudenes
cables from Manila complaining that
the Americans have monopolized every
available housing place and the Span
ish soldiers are obliged to sleep in the
churches. The necessarily great over
crowding resulting from this causes
fear OF an epidemic. General Jaudenes
describes the men as literally lying on
top of one another. 1t
General Jaudenes' dispatches from
Manila make no mention of the terms
OF capitulation. His cablegram upon
the subject seems to have gone astray,
and General Jaudenes has been asked
to repeat II.
After the cabinet meeting today all
the ministers were reserved, with the
exception of Capt Aunon, minister OF
marine. The latter said he thought
that General Jaudenes had not cabled
the terms of the capitulation of Manila
to the government owing TO his want OF
money, the Americans having taken
charge OF the treasury.
Senor Capdepon, minister OF the in
terror, would say nothing except that
the peninsula was tranquil.

The naval board will require month
or more to make the survey and APP
praisal which the law requires when
naval material is to be sold. The board
will determine at the outset what ves-
sells should be retained. as many OF those
on hand are serviceable. as colliers, sup
ply. ambulance or distilling ships. Those
TO be sold will be appraised, and the navy
department will then advertise for bids
for the ships not wanted. There will be
no auction. Bids will be received at the
navy department. the sales being made
to the highest responsible bidders at not
less thap the appraised price.
There Is some curiosity as TO the
amounts which will be offered for these
vessels. When they were bought. the
urgent needs of the government COM
PEELED the payment of prices which In
some cases were regarded as fancy"
Doubts are expressed In naval circles
whether these fancy prices will pre-
vail when the offers to the government
are made, the impression being that
some of the contractors will make good
profits at both ends. selling high and
buying low. The naval board will see,
however, that the government is pro-
tected against serious loss.

NUMBER OF PENSIONERS.

Washington. Aug. 24.--In the forth.
coming report OF the commissioner of
pensions, IL. Clay Evans, 1t will be shown
that on June 80, 1897, there were on the
rolls Of the pension bureau y6.014 PEN
sioners. To this must be added 6S52
original claims granted but not record
ed. and 762 restorations which were not
entered at the time on the books. Com
missioner Evans granted 63,64s original
claims during the past year and re-
stored 40S9 pensioners to the benefits OF
pensions. The pensioners now asgre-
gate 1.040,346. More pensions were
granted last year than any time from
1859 up to 1880.
There is absolutely. no means OF even
approximating what the claims will be
under the recent war. The pension Of
dce has done nothing with the claims
that have been filed up to this time.
They do not aggregate 100, and for the
nost part are claims Of widows and next
OF kin for the soldier boys who fell before
Santiago. Before a claim can be per-
fected II must contain the full record OF
the soldiers service. and this informa-
ton has not yet been complied by the
war department. When this is done the
claims will be speedily taken up. The
majority OF the claims VIII be for
wounds and sickness. the latter leaving
the soldier more or less disabled. No
additional legislation will be required TO
deal with the cases arising from this war.
The present laws, the authorities say.
cover all that is necessary. and claims
will be adjudicated on the same lines as
those of the rebellion.

FOR OFFICERS.
Daughters OF Liberty Took Ballot
This Morning.
Discussion Relating to tn: Order OF
American Mechanics.

The business Of the convention OF the
Daughters OF Liberty was resumed at
10 o'clock this morning. in Columbia
hall. all the delegates being present.
The first hour was devoted mainly to
the transaction OF routine business in
connection with some Of the reports

Then a discussion. ensued which was
very important, for Il was reallyaimed

assailant.
The auxiliary of the junior male order
Is known as the Daughters of America.
and this auxiliary has refused to ad-
NIT members of the o. u. A. NJ. to it's
ranks. and now the Junior male order is
endeavoring TO have the Daughters OF
Liberty follow the game course. Quite
a controversy has arisen over tho ques-
tion, and the discussion this morning
ever, that the, Junior order will not be
successful.
Prior. to the recess for dinner, which
was taken about ~ o'clock, the ballot
ing for the new officers was carried on,
and it was stated that the tellers would
report upon the result of the election
during TIE afternoon session.
During the afternoon session the re-
suit of the balloting for officers was an
nounced.t and among thee more promi-
nent officials elected were: National
councillor. w. l.. Hayward, OF New
York; national associate councillor,
Mrs. r.. j. Burton, OF New York; ma
tional secretary. w. o. Staples, of Con-
necticut: national associate secretary,
Mrs. Ella A. Johnson. OF Rhode Island /:
national treasu G.. III. Burton, of
New York; national associate treas
irer. Mrs. Sarah A. Reed, of New
York.
The convention then considered some
further business, and an adjournment
was taken untfl tomorrow morning.
when the delegates will go down the

cent Park.

Notwithstanding this mans views, IL Is
