MANILA, Philippine Islands, Nov. IS.
-GenerL Otis, the commander OF the
American forces recently proposed to
Aeulnaldo that ne release the friars and
civilians held in captivity throughout
the provinces. The inSurgent leader de-
MED their maltreatmcnt and refused to
release the prisoners, claiming that the
civiliOns had enlisted as volunteers,a and,
therefore. were legitimate prisoners OF
War. Aguinaldo also denied that wo-
men and children were detained, but
said that some women and children had
voluntarily accompanied their husbands
or fathers into captivity.
As to the friRrs Aguinnldo argues that
they are prohibited bV the pope from
accepting parochial appointments that
they are only permitted to follow mon
astIc life, and that the parishes are en-
trusted 20 ministers OF the independent
monnstlc orders. But, he adds, the
Philippine clericalS have deliberately
and systematically deceived the pope
pretending that the country was bar
bnrous. unflt for the reEulnr ministry
and that It was necessary that the
mohastlc orders should administer the
parishes. Therefore, Aguinaldo Contln-
ned. he considered It necessary to de-
tain the friars until the pope Is unde-
ceiVed.

REMARKABLE ACTIVITY

About the War Department which Gives
aLIoonSo for Many cOnjsetures AS to the
Meaning oft.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. 15.-
There has been remarkable activity
about the war department for several
days IN the way Of preparing troops for
service in lands beyond the United
states. An order has been issued dl-
rectlng at least ten regiments of the
regular army now stationed In north
western forts and ports to hold them
selves in readiness for immediate trans
portation and service in tropical eli
mates. Most OF these regiments were
sent into the northern and western
posts a few weeks ago for recuperation
after their Cuban campaign. While
holding themselves ready for service
these regiments will now be recruited to
their full strength. Nothing is said Of
iiciallV as to what the present activity
means, but there nre several reasons
suggested. It is believed that an early
movement to Cuba Is intended, some-
what sooner than has been generally
believed heretofore.
Another belief entertained is that the
United States government desires to be
in a position to meet any conditions
that may grow out Of the pending peace
negotiations, and bein readiness to re-
sumo hostillties II Spain refuses to ac-
cept the terms the American peace COM
miseloners offer. In this connection an
intimatlon has got about to the effect
that during the delay which has occur
red Spain has been able to form some
sort OF coalition with European powers
to back up the pretensions she has been
making In the negotiations. Another
reason given for the proposed movement
Of the regulars to Cuba is that they are
to. replace the regiments which have
iEiVtn tome trouble and have crested
disturbances, the last row being report
ed from General Woods command, in
Santiago province.
1t may be said that some OF the regu-
lar regiments are destined to replace
volunteers who have been pleading to
be sent home.
An interesting feature Of the matter
is the refusal Of the United States au-
thorIties to order the muster out OF the
volunteers who recently returned from
Porto Rico These regiments were sent
to their homes, and given sixty days
furlough, but contrary to the plans
heretofore followed they were not al
lowed to be mustered out OF service.
As to the ten regular regiments, every
department OF the government has been
directed to prepare supplies for them,
and TO arrange transportation as soon
as they are ordered to move.

THE JUNTA'S APPEAL

To President MeKinlsy-G General MsrEltt
Tells why he dld not ReeogniEo AEnln-
aldo aud his Insurgents.
LONDON, Nov. 1s.-General Wesley
Merritt, United States army, who is
still in this city, has read with a great
deal OF interest the long letter of com
plnint against American officials in the
Philippine islands addressed by the So
called Filipino 1unta of Hong Kong, to
President Mckinley and the people. In
discussing the Flliplnos. the American
general refers to them as Children"
and says It would be impossible TO es-
{abllsh American government in the is-
lands, He adds that they must have
some form of colonial government SINH
lar to the British colonial governments.
Regarding the complaints OF the Fil-
Iplnos, the general said: ut was I'M
possible TO recognize the insurgents and
/ made It point not to do so, as
knew 1t would lead to complications,
Admiral Dewey, after my arrival, pur-
sued the same course. What was done
before Is not for me to comment on. !,
purposely, did not recognize Aguinaldo
or his troops, nor did use them in any
waV, Aguinaldo did not ask to see me
until ten days after my arrival, After
that was too much occupied to sec
him.
SIN talking with leading Filipinos I
told them the United States had no pro-
mIses to make, but that they might be
assured that the government and peo--
pie Of the United States would treat
them fairly. This was because the UNI
ted States Is in the habit Of dealing fair
~ with all struggling peoples. and not
because I had been authorised to sag
anything Of the kind.
I'VE purposely did not give the insur-
gents notice OF our attack on Manila
because we did not need their cooper
alton and did not purpose 70 have It. We
were moved By fear that they might
loot and piund6r and possibly murder.
AEuinaldo's subordinate leaders. in COP
versing with American officers, tEe-
quentiy said they intended to cut the
thrOats OF all the Spaniards in Manila.
"ARninaldo himself wrote complain
inS Letter, saying the insurgents had
been denied their share Of the booty
whatever he may have meant by that !
took no notice Of this letter, nor do
think the subject raised now Is q sub
ieot for consideration between Again-
aldo and any representative OF the
American government"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1s.-Re-
ports OF somewhat dlsquletlng nature
have been received from General OTIS,
In command at Manila. He says that
the province OF Iloilo. in the Island of
Panay, which is technically occupied by
the spanlards Is surrounded by the In
sursents and that fears are entertained
that the Spanish population and garri-
son will be massacred by the insur-
gents.
The capital of the province Is sixty
fve miles from Manila, but this and the
other Islands, with the exception of Ma
Mia, and its adjacent country Is not
under control of the Americans. Here
tofore the United States officers have
tried to prevent disturbances between
the insurgents and the spaniards
through good offices and counsel. The
indications are, however, that the pres
ent situation In IIoito cannot be con-
trolled By the United States army at
Manila or the insurgent leaders there,
and II serious consequences nre avert
ed some other method will have to be
adopted. The troops under General Otis
are not available for any such duty,
and, under the terms Of the protocol,
pending peace negotiations, It Is not de-
sirable to send force from the army TO
the island of Panay. There is no in
tention at present OF sending additional
troops to General Otis, but the situa-
tion Is such as to strengthen the de-
termination OF the administration not to
reduce he available force under his

srccial Dispatch TO the 1ntelllgencer
GRAFTON, w. Va, Nov. 1.-THE ex-
,ected, as foreshadowed IN yesterdays
dIspatch to the IntelligenceR happened
4, the recount of Taylor county. BY
"changes" of from thirty to thlrty-hYe
ea6h IN three or four precincts the re-
count wiped out majority for Bro
ard. (Rep.), of over eighty and subsa-
tu,cd majority'of thlrtY-seven for
Dent, (Deu1.), for Legislature. Strange
to say, no one else was affected by these
changes except the member Of the leg
islauge and county commissioner.
The county court stands one Demo-
crat to one Republican, there being a
vacancy.
The Republican county clerk is alleg-
ed to have openly and actively opposed
for election the Republican candidate
for county commissioner who was
counted out to-day by the changed bal
lots.
The county court refused to allow any
testimony from the commissioners and
clerks OF election at the precincts where
these wholesale changes on recount
were shown.
It was from start to finish a cold
blooded swIndle, the changes having
been made on the tickets since the bal
lots were turned over by the commits
sloners Of election
Secretary White, of the Republican
state committee, says the committee has
proof of who some OF the conspirators
are, and that some one is likely to make
the trip to the penltentiarV.
The next "count-out" is expected In
Marion and the Lewls-webster district,
as the parties who have been "fgur-
I'M" on these jobs have been in Marion
and Taylor.
The county court OF Taylor had not
signed ap-ihF-tVF4t%eu4e sf,,sleetioa ct
seyen-thirty this eveuibgs and Judge
Holt was applied to for an Injunction to
restrain them from completing the theft
by signing certificates OF election. The
circuit court will sift the facts and the
interests Of the people will be protected.
This Is the first experience cur people
have had with baIlot-box manipulators
and ballot-switchers, and may It be
the last. Honest men of all parties
stand aghast at the awkward and plain
theft attempted. There is but one opin-
ion: the ballots we're changed since the

MERELY A BLIND.

The Recount Demanded tn KauHWhA
CounIy-A Well Developed Democratic
Conspiracy TO steal the Lag .Intnrs.
Special Dispatch to tho IntelIEencer.
CHARLESTON, W. Va. Nov. 16.-As
telegraphed the Intelllgencer last night,
the Kanawha county court finished the
canvassng of the vote at midnight
This morning General Watts and D. c.
Gallagher, representing the Democratic
county committee, demanded recount
for the entire county ticket. The de-
mand was made on behalf OF Flournoy,
Ray. BGackwood and Drew, on the leg
Islatlve ticket. and Christy and Dent,
for commissioner and superintendent Of
schools.
Mr.. Floyd, chairman Of the RepublI-
can county committee, demanded a re-
count OF the vote cast for congressman
and state senate. The recount Will be-
gin tomorrow, and will probably oc-
cupy two weeks.
Republican leaders here state that the
recount in this county is merely
blind The Democrats expect to accom-
pIsh nothing by 1t. But while re-
count Is going on here and accomplish
ing nothing, member of the house can
be gained in another county.
This evenings Charleston Mali
Tribune says: "The Republican mana
gers have evidence almost positive that
the change in the result in Taylor coun-
y was made by scratching the ballots
after they were counted by the election
commissioners. Chairman Dawson
stated on Sunday, in an interview. that
he had evidence of the intention Of the
Democrats to commit fraud. Mr., Daw-
son Informs the Mali Tribune that It is
fact, and he says that he has no doubt
that he can lay his hand on the man
who DID the job in Taylor county, and
that he knows who ls operating in some
other counties.
THE Republicans Of the state can
rest assured that there Is on hand a
well conceived and carefully planned
conspiracy to steal the legislature. The
charge Of fraud by the Wheeling Reg
!y;er and other Democratic newspapers
IS made simply to cover up the work
Of the Democratic thieves"
