TALK WITH GENERAL MERRITT
HIS REASONS FOR NOT RECOGNIZING
THE INSURGENTS.
Admiral Dewey Alleged to Have Said
erOns and Unreliable.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-RepoFts Of a
somewhat disquieting nature have been re-
ceived 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 Spaniards, is surrounded
by insurgents and that fears are entertained
that the Spanish population and garrison
will be massacred by the insurgents The
capital of the province is 3S5 miles from
Manila, but this and the other islands, with
the exception of Manila and it's adjacent
county. is under control of the Americans
Herr ctore the United States soldiers have
tried to prevent disturbances between the
insurgents and the Spaniards through good
offices and counsel. The indications are
however, that the present situation in uoilo
cannot be controlled by the United States
army at Manila or the insurgent leaders
there, and If serious consequences would be
avefted 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, 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 de-
termination of the administration not to re-
duce the available force under his command

SLAUGHTER OF BIRDS.
MIR. Stone Thinks Fashion Leaders Are
Not n Very Humane Glass.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 16.-The report of
Mr. Stone chairman of the committee on
bird protection, was the most interesting
topic before the morning session of the
Ornithological Union to-day. The killing of
small insectivorous birds for game or sport,
it said, seems to be largely restricted to the
Southern States. Nearly every State, he
said, has restrictive laws, though many are
so badly framed as to be absolutely useless
and even good laws are usually dead letters.
The widespread agitation for protection of
the birds has resulted in good and in the
North there is a decrease noted in the num-
ber Of birds brought to taxidermists shops
to be mounted. In the South it seems to be
much more difficult to obtain like results,
owing to the fact that for generations small
birds have been regarded as legitimate
game. Fourteen States now have Audubon
societies, with membership of over $1,000.
The status of the bird milliner remains
practically unchanged, no argument being
able to prevail against the fashion leaders
of the day Traffic in American birds has
been reduced to a minimum, but the use of
imported species goes on unabated.

evacuation of Fashoda would satisfy Great
Britain. Mr. Chamberlain's statements are
regarded here as indicating Great Britain's
desire to discuss and settle all questions
pending while she is in a state Of prepared
ness to exert pressure in support of her
views. High officials suggest that the re-
suit Of the British attitude may be a close
understanding between France and Germany
on colonial matters. Tney say such an under
standing would meet with the support of
Russia, would find ardent adherents among
French officers and would be welcomed by
the French nation at large.
The Soir says: THE national defense
group in the chamber met to-day and in
structed their executive committee to inter-
view M. Delcasse, minister of foreign at
fairs, with regard to Mr.. Chamberlain's s
speech 1t was also decided to propose as
the order of the day in the chamber on
Friday resolution pledging the government
to assure the efficiency OF the national de-
fense."
The Temps this morning, in an attack
upon Great Britain and the United States,
declares that neither can stand alone in the
far East and that "protectionist America
will be compelled to accept the open door
policy in the Philippines for the sake OF
British help in China"

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, Nov. 16.-The
speech of Joseph Chamberlain at Manches-
ter, England yesterday, in the course IF
which he condemned the French policy in
Newfoundland along the treaty shore, gives
general satisfaction here. 1t is regarded as
ensuring a speedy settlement of the ques-
ton. Mr. Chamberlain recently dispatched
royal commission here to inquire into the
whole matter of French treaty rights The
commissioners found the French claims far
more exacting than the treaties permitted
and before leaving a fortnight ago to re-
turn to England they expressed their inten-
ton of supporting the case of Newfoundland
upon every count. There is no doubt that
Mr.. Chamberlains emphatic declaration at
Manchester is the result of conferences he
has had with the commissioners since their
return to England.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.-The steamer

Samoan news to the Associated Press: The
question of a King is exercising the minds
of Samoans to an almost unprecedented
extent, and candidates fer the thankless

there are but two logical candidates The
chiefs representing the whole Of the Samo-
an people are now considering who shall
be finally thrust forward to guard the
destines of the people. 1t now looks as
if there would be two aspirants for the
office-the representative of the Tumua and
the representative of the Malietoa families.
If the two factions cannot agree on King
it is said that, instead of resorting to the
customary force of arms, the leaders will
be induced to lodge the settlement with
the chief justice according to the Berlin
act. The consuls of the treaty powers are
watching the situation with critical mien

of their candidates known cannot be stated

PARIS, Nov. 16-A commissary of police
to-day notified M Francis de Prossense, the
well-known writer, political economist ana
Dreyfus agitator, of his formal expulsion
from the Legion of Honor. This is sequel
to M De Prossense's denunciation of GER

M Francis de Prossense is the son of the
famous French Protestant pastor and writ

son was born in Paris in 1853, entered the
ministry of foreign affairs in 1879, was ap-
pointed secretary of the French embassy

ROME, Nov. 16.-King Humbert, in open
ing Parliament to-day, made reference to
the rioting in Italy last spring. His Majesty
said he was looking forward to the moment
when he would be able to pardon those who
were mised at that time. The financial
condition of the country, his Majesty as
serted was satisfactory, the navy would be
gradually increased, and series of internal
reforms would be submitted. In conclusion
King IIumbert said Italy needed peace, and
cordially adhered to the Cars proposal to
discuss the question of disarmament at the
approaching congress.
King Humbert, while driving to the houses
of Parliament, accompanied by the Queen,
the Crown Prince, the Duke of Aosta and
the Duke Of Genoa, was heartily cheered,

throne was frequently interrupted by ap-
plauSc.

HONOLULU, Nov. q. via San Francisco
Nov. 1e.--d'he transports Ohio and Indiana
arrived in port early on the 5th inst The
Zeandia arrived on the 7th with
the Tennessee regiment. The trans
port Indiana brought a woman stowa-
way, Sadie White. She came on board in
soldiers uniform and was not discovered
until the third day out. Then she was put
in a stateroom and guard placed over her.
She was put ashore here. She claims to have
a sweetheart on the Bennington. She was
assisted in smuggling aboard by Private
Moore of Company h. He was given twenty
days in the guardhouse and a fine of $40.
The transport Ohio left for Manila on the
7th the Indiana followed her on the 8th.
The Zelandia will sail on the 18th. Typhoid
fever broke out on the Arizona just as she
was ready to sail for Manila. General King
is himself very sick. The Arizona will be
held here until health conditions are bet
ter. There are to-day nearly three hundred
patients under treatment at the various
state hospital camps

The Twentieth Kansas Regiment had an
opportunity to vote here before the Indiana
sailed for Manila. The soldiers voted as fol-
lows for the principal state officers: For

same. All the Republican candidates for

ceived majority. The count had not been
finished when the Indiana sailed and the
result will be cabed from Manila
Van Wyck is believed to have received
good majority of the votes cast by the New
York soldiers yesterday Each voter sealed
his own ballot. They will all be sent to the
secretary of state of New York to be opened
by him and sent to the various counties to
be counted with the local vote. For this
reason the votes were not counted here, and
results are only estimated There in all
about $50 votes cast OF these it is esti-
mated that Roosevelt got 200 and Van Wyck
$50. Roosevelt's remarks about the volun-
teers lost him a great many votes among
the soldiers. Only about 40 per cent. of the
soldiers voted In fact. there was compare
lively little interest shown in the election.

FRIARs HELD PRISONERS.
General AguinaldO Refuses xn-~Re
lease His Clerical Enemies.

UeheFaA AgutnaAdO Refuses 4n--Re=.
lease His Clerical Enemies.
MANILA, Nov. 16-General Otis, the com-
mander of the American forces. recently
proposed to Aguinaldo that he release the
friars and civilians held in captivity
throughout the provinces The insurgenA
leader denied that they were maltreated.
and refused to release the prisoners, claim
ing that the civilians had enlisted as vol
unteers, and therefore were legitimate
prisoners Of war. Aguinaldo also denied
that women and children were detained.
but some women and children had volun-
tarily accompanied their husbands or faith
ers into captivity. AS to the friars Aguin-
aldo argues that they are prohibited by the
Pope from accepting parochial appoint-
ments; that they are only permitted to fol-
low monastic life, and that the parishes are
intrusted to ministers of the independent
monastlc orders. But he adds, the Phil
ippine clericals have deliberately and sys-
tematically deceived the Pope pretending
that the country was barbarous, unfit for
the regular ministry, and that it was nec-
essary that the monastic orders should adj
minister the parishes. Therefore Aguinaldo
continued, he considered 1t necessary to de-
tain the friars until the Pope could be un-
deceived.
The Spanish papers here assert that 9.
sanguinary mutiny has taken place on
board the steamship Bernardino, and that
the native crew massacred the transports
officers The papers also appeal to the
United States to control the natives. Ad-
vices from Iloilo say the natives of that city
distrust Aguinaldo and want American
domination
