WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-News comes
from Manila that Father McKinnon, late Of
the California volunteers who ap-
pointed an army chaplain and sent out
again to Manila with Archbishop Chapelle
to assist in Dacifying the natives and ac-
custom them to American methods, also

sage was received at Manila and published

cede me direct and come from Rome to you.
Archbishop Ireland endorsed the same.
President Mckinley knows of the present
steps now to be taken by the hierarchy OF
the church"
The message was read by direction of the
archbishop of Manila, to whom it was di-
rected in the form of an encyclical, and the
archbishop announced that he intended to re-
main in his place in Manila unless silenced.

CUBANS WAIT ON PRESIDENT
Present Petition from the Farmers
and Planters Association Asking
for Commercial Priyiiescs

WASHINGTON Nov 22.-Evaristo NJ
Montalvo and Francisco Figueras, commits
| sioners appointed by the Planters and Farm
ers association of Cuba; w. o. Mcdowell
president OF the Cuban American league ac-
companied by Senior Quesada, the Cuban
commissioner, called upon the president to-
day and laid before him a petition adopted
by the Farmers and Planters association.
The petition is based on the belief Of the
commissioners that the rehabilitation of
Cuba depends, first of ALL upon the revival
of its natural industries, sugar tobacco and
mines. To secure this Industrial revival the
commissioners pray the president to provide
for the establishment of an agricultural
bank, with branches in the principal cities
of the island that money may be easily
obtained by the planters on crop and land
security.
They pointed out, however, that no amount
of production can bring prosperity to Cuba
without market for its crops. They there
fore, ask that the president extend to Cuba
the same commercial privileges as will be
enjoyed by the islands of the British West
Indies under recent treaties or else that he
renew the reciprocity arrangements made
for Cuba's benefit with Spain under Presi-
dent Harrison in 1891
Minor points touched on by the petition Is
the desirability OF the same postal arrange
ments with the United States that now exist
between the United States and Mexico and
Canada, also the repeal of any order pre-
venting competition in capital out Of Cuba
The petition quotes the Views of Commits
sioner Robert p. Porter on the economic
needs of Cuba and submits the draft of
charter for the proposed agricultural bank.
They discussed the general situation in Cuba
with the president and when they left the
White house said their conference had been
very satisfactory, though not inclined to go
into details as to what the president had
told them. Later they went to the Treasury
department, where they had an interview
with Secretary Gage.

OF Importance is to be made by General
Wheaton, who will go up the coast to Vigan.

learned that east OF the route Aguinaldo is
taking are mountains Inhabited by tribes
not friendly to Aguinado and which will be
likely TO attack him If he attempted TO cross
their territory. The country along the coast
is quite well settled. There are several lit
tie rivers making harbors from which It Is

and who has just returned from the Philip
pines. where he was two months on the

ipino commanders offer many inducements
in the way Of salary and commission to

these Americans led the Filipinos in several
of the fiercest engagements and play an
important part in keeping alive the spirit
of rebellion among the fragments of Agui-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-General Otis to-
day cabed the War department as follows
MANILA, Nov. 22.-Dispatch 21st from
Lawton at Tayug reports Young with cav
airy and Maccabebe scouts at Arngay, with
advance north to Baoang rear San Fernando
about to move on trail east of Trinidad.
Young reports considerable insurgent force
moving in that direction; that Aguinaldo is
in charge, seeking to cross over to Bayam-
bong
Portions of Lawton's troops now being
pushed through to Tayug with rations. Bat
talon Twenty fourth will join Lawton to-
morrow Nothing from Wheaton for sew
eral days. Macarthur operating west Of
railroad and north OF Tarlann. Wire from
Tarlann north working; troops On entire
railroad line ratoned without difficulty.
"Iloilo reports seven companies Sixth and
Twenty-sixth volunteers, under Dickman,
struck insurgents northeast Jaro; casualties,
six wounded Enemy left on field eighteen
killed. Dickman captured seven prisoners,
four one-pound brass feldpieces and sew
eral thousand rounds ammunition. Eigh
teenth infantry yesterday drove insurgents
north on Santa Barbara Hughes with COL
umn north and west of Santa Barbara; re-
ports of results not yet received"
The dispatch from General Otis does not
yet make it appear that the Efforts to cap
ture Aguinaldo and the larger portion of his
army will be successful. The intention of
General Young to prevent Aguinaldo reach
ing Bayonbcng seems evident but this
seems scarcely probable now. Some errors
have been made in the transmission of the
dispatch. Bayonbong is evidently meant
instead of Bayambong. The town given as
Tarlann is probably Tarlac, as the situation
of Macarthur would indicate that he is op-
Grating not far from that place. No alarm
is felt regarding the situation of General
Wheaton as he has been for some time be-
yond teegraphic communication.
Operations are also progressing in the
islands south of Luzon, the last portion
of the dispatch indicates.

that the difficulties can be corrected without
