duct OF the American campaign now.
He will know just how much confidence
to place in this overture. The history
OF the insurrcction of the F'ilipinos H.
said to be full of as many ins tances
of bad faith on their part as could be
found in one of our own lnGian cam
pal -Hs. The plea of Aguiraldn is theIc-
fore likely to he left with General Otis,
and it will be for him to judge whether
il Is Il proper offer of submission in
g\,d faith, or nothing more than a cum
ming device to gain time to reorganizc
and reinspire the badly demoraliZed Fill
ipinos. The news conveyed by Cen
eral otis message was received with
great qualification, as at least holding
out hope of more speedy termination
Of hostilities on Luzon than was ex-
pectcd after the first outbreak.
There Is no reason to believe that the
president has changed his policy re-
srecting the treatment Of the Filipinos
because of the battle, and it is believed
that If they are content to profit by
the severe lesson administered to them
he will hc willing to receive them as
errng ci!ildren. and treat them with
as great degree of liberality as their
state, and due regard for the interests
of the t'nited States and of civilization,

KICKING AGAINST QUAY.

delphia-W w at erlOo and st. Helena.
Philadelphia, Feb. 9.--A mass meeting
of citizens in opposition to the re-elec-
tion of Senator Quay was held at the
Academy of Music last night. Major T.
A. Hancock of this city presided, and a
large delegation of anti-Quay me mbers
of the legislature, headed by Senator
Flynn of Pittsburg, came from Harris
burg. John Wanamaker occupied q
box, but did not speak. The speakers
were Senator Flynn and Congress
Dalzel Of Plttsburg, Senators S. Sheney
Of Philadelphia and Weller of Cambria
and Representative KoontZ OF Somerset
In the course Of his address, Congress-
man Dalzell said: "Mr. Quay has been
called the Napoleon of politics. Lebanon,
I venture to predict, is his waterloo
after Waterloo comes st. Helena. Mr.
Quay represents that which is demoral-
izing in politics; he represents that which
Is debasing to public sentiment; that
which is degrading to the popular
morals: that which defeats honorable
ambition and that which stimulates un-
worthy ambition, which may be used for
his own personal ends. He has turned
lIle INtpuDiAStiilo VI III cIIlSyl-
vania into a machine which has no ex-
cuse for its existence save that 1t serves
his political fortune"
The speaker charged that Senator
Quay was among those responsible for
the defeat of Blaine in 1876 that he was
hostile to the Harrison administration,
and that he had influenced the Pennsyl-
vania delegation to the st. Louis con-
ventlon in 1896 to vote for himself in
stead Of for Mckinley.
Continuing, he said: "Mr. Quay has
not been loyal to the Mckinley admin
istratiOn. During that critical period in
which the nation was hanging on the
verge between war and peace he advo-
Gated the policy, in opposition to the
president. Of recognizing the indepen-
dence of Cuba. the absurdity of which is
now apparent to everybody. He then
had the audacity to send his secretary
over to the house Of representatives and
gather together the representatives of
Pennsylvania in a caucus to pledge them
to vote against the policy Of the admin
istratiOn. I was accidentally admitted
to that caucus and therefore am able to
say that some of the Quay adherents ex-
pressed their Willingness to obey his will
and fly in the face of the majority Of
their party in the house. When, how
ever a rollcall came, the reprehensible
character of this effort appeared and
they voted with their party. but no
thanks to Mr.. Quay for that
Congressman Dalzell concluded with a
review Of the events of the past four
months, including the conspiracy
charges pending against Senator Quay

ON LAND AND SEA.
Blizzard Wrecks and Damage
Wrought by storm.


! Highland Light. Mass, Feb. 9--A gale
which for severity almost equalled that
of last November ragged over Cape Cod

the northeast late Tuesday night, ac-
companied by heavy snow. At noon the
wind shifted to the north. and, the mer-
curry rising. the snow changed to rain.
Later the wind backed to the northwest,
coming in ftful gusts. The tides ran
unusually high, and under the heavy
winds the waves ran we'll up on the
beaches, making the spectacle the Wild
est of the season. The coast patrol along
the outer side of the cape reports much
debris washed up, but there were no
signs Of wrecks. Observations to sea-
ward We're impossible all day.

Der, lies high and dry on the rocks on
Chubb's island. just off the shore be-

Wagner feels confident that she can be
pulled Off.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Reverting to the
policy during the late war with Spain,
the officials of the war department, as
well as those OF the navy, decline most
positively to afford any information for
publication respecting the instructions
given or to be given to the military and
naval commanders in the Philippines.
With spies in Canada. and even in Wash
ington; with Philippines juntas in the
European capitals and in Hong Kong.
and with malicious spirits in Europe to
contend with. the departments say they
will have all they can do to get news of
their intentions to the American conf
manders in the Philippines in season to
prevent the Insurgents from protiting
byit.
Therefore they refuse to give any in
timation as to what instructions will
be sent to General otis respecting the
application by Agunaldo for a cessa-
ton of hostilities and a conference.
Nevertheless, there is reason to be-
lieve that upon this point, at least, no
Instructions have been sent. The ad.
ministration has unlimited confidence
