Great Peril.
OTIS IN FEAR OF A MASSACRE
MANILA TROOPS FowERLEss TO
AID THEM.
Serious Situation Will Prevent the
Contemplated Reduction of
American Forces in the
Islands.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHIN GTON, Nov. 16.-Reports OF
somewhat disquieting nature have
been received from General Otis, in
command at Manila. He says that the
province of IIoilo, in the Island of Pa
nay, which is technically occupied by
the Spaniards, is surrounded by the in
surgents and that fears are entertained
that the Spanish population and garri-
son will be massacred. The capital of
the province is 355 miles from Manila,
but this and the other islands, with the
exception of Manila and its adjacent
country, is not under control of the
Americans. Heretofore the United
States officers have tried to prevent dis
turbances between the insurgents and
the Spaniards through good offices and
counsel The indications are, however,
that the present situation in Iloilo can
not be controlled by the United States
army at Manila, or the insurgent lead
ers there, and if serious consequences
are ayerted some other method will
have to be adopted.
The troops under General Otis are not
available for any such duty and, un-
der the terms of the protocol pending
peace negotiations, 1t is not desirable
to send a force from the army to the
Island of Panay. There is no intention
at present Of sending additional troops
to General Otis, but the situation is
such as to strengthen the determine
ton of the administration not to re-
duce the available force under his COM
mand.

ELK YET REFUSES TO

Berg, the Man He Shot, Insists That

SAN RAFAEL, Nov. 16.-Ike Elk still
refuses to make a statement of the facts
regarding the shooting of Berg on the
yacht Chispa, and puts in most of his
time pacing nervously up and down his
cell. He seems 10 regard his release from
custody as a matter of only few days,
and was surprised when told that no such
prospect confronted him. He was in
formed that 1t made no difference
whether or not he was connected with
the murder of Captain Brooks. He is al
legged to have shot Berg, knowing who he
was shooting, and probably being aware
that his visitor meant no harm.
There are several things that look very
mysterious in the affair, the chief of
which is Bergs statement that he will

city, has read with a great deal or in
terest the long letter Of complaint
against American officials in the Phil
ippine Islands addressed by the social
ed Filipino Junta of Hongkong to Pres
ident Mckinley and the American peo-
pie In discussing the Filipinos, the
American general refers to them as
children" and says it would be i'm
possible to establish the American sys-
tenn of government in the islands. He
adds that they must have some form
Of colonial government similar to the
British colonial governments. Regard
;Iie the complaints of the Filipinos, the
general said:
at was impossible to recognize the
insurgents, and 1 made it point not TO
Go so, as l knew 1t would lead to COM
riica,:ons. Admiral DeweJ, after my
arrival, pursued the same course. What
was done before is not for me to com

Aguinaldo or his troops no did / use
them IN any way. Aguinaido did not ask
to sec me until ten days after my ar

cupied to see him.
I'm talking with leading Filipinos I
told them the United States had no
promises to make, but that they might
be assured that the Government and
people of the United States would treat
them fairly. This was because the
United States is in the habit of dealing
fairly with all struggling peoples and
not because l had been authorized to
say anything Of the kind.

BAZET DEMANDS
A CHEAP HOSPITAL
HE SAYS 1T SHOULD SOON BE
BURNED.
An Interesting Meeting of the Board
of Health Held Last
Evening.

At a meeting of the Board of Health
held last evening DR.. Bazet attacked the
scheme of the Supervisors to erect an ex-
pensive City and County Hospital. The
doctor declared that it would be very
poor policy at this time to build a costly
permanent structure, because methods OF
hospital treatment are rapidly improving
and structure that would meet the re-
quirements of to-day probably would be
obsolete in its facilities and appliances
for the care of the sick dozen years
hence The doctor declared that the new
hospitals in Europe were all being erected
on the temporary plan, so that they could
be torn down at an early day and re-
placed Another advantage found in
cheap temporary hospital building was
that it could be burned after short
time and the microbes of disease within
it's walls killed. According to DR.. Bazet
the walls and floors of all old hospitals
accumulate disease germs, which 1t is
impossible to destroy by fumigation.
Other members of the Board of Health
conceded with DIR. Bazet in his views on
the subject, and it is quite possIDle that a
recommendation to the supervisors VIII
be framed asking that the new nospltal

The trial of Chief Food Inspector Dock
arv on the pending charges of drunken
ness and inefficiencv was set for Monday,
November Is. The ,oard will also discuss
the financial situation on that night, as
the Supervisors will have determined on
the ouestion of an extra allowance of
money to the Health Department by that
time.

meeting. having recovered from nro-

COUP EXECUTED BY THE CAP

Special dispatch to The Call.

SANTA CRUZ, Nov. 16.-Captain A.
w. Hall of the sloop Trilby, which ar
rived from San Francisco a few days
ago, had ]. Finnigan, sailor, arrested
last night for disturbing the peace
aboard the sloop.
Ffnnigan says there is woman
aboard, who is being taken to Mexico
against her WILL Through Cullen's
employment agency in San Francisco
the woman obtained a position as cook,
being told the Trilby was a large
schooner When she saw the sloop she
did not like it's character and demand
ed that she be put ashore, but the
CAPTAIN refused Orders were given
the sailors not to allow her ashore
When q constable went aboard to ar
rest Finnigan the woman, who said her
name was Susie, but refused to give
her surname, was hysterical. When
the officer started to go aboard the
sloop to investigate the case he found
the sloop had left in the direction of
Monterey The case against Finnigan
was dismissed, as the captain failed to
appear. The sloop is bound for Mex
leo after a cargo af abalone shells
Hall claims the woman is his wife.
She has relatives in San Francisco.
Miss Della Cullen, who conducts the
employment agency in this city through
which the woman is said to have OBJ
tanned the position of cook on the
Trilby, speaks in a more or less mys-
ferrous way about the whole affair
while claiming not to know anything
concerning 1t. She says that about
three weeks ago a man, evidently about
30 years of age, came to her office and
said he wanted to engage cook for
voyage to Johannesburg, but he re-
fused to give his name or address.
Prior to this the woman, who had sew
eral times obtained employment
through the agency, came to the office
looking for another position. Miss Gull
len could not recall her name. but Said
that she was about 40 years of age and
that she had a son II years old. The
woman had given satisfaction at the
places at which she worked. Miss Gull
len told her Of the offer of the man who
wanted the cook, and after some cor
respondence the woman met the man
by appointment outside the office. She
afterward saw Miss Cullen, who ad
vised her that If the man would not
meet her at the office she should have
nothing to do with him. After the
woman had met the man she refused
to tell Miss Cullen what he had said to
her This is all that Miss Cullen knows
of the affair, except that the woman did
not pay her office fee.

cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
tobe a constitutional disease, and there
