Agoncillo Says Prospects Are Im-

by Cable to The Associated Press.]
LONDON, Jan. "a, 1S99.-The Filipino
Junta here today received a cable mes
sage from Agoncillo, Aguinaldo's repres-
entative at Washington, declaring that
the prospects were improving, though the
work was difficult.
The absence of direct news from Ma
Mia and the receipt of secret intelligence
from Washington is causing the grayest
anxiety among the Filipinos here. The
arrests of Filipinos by Major General Otis
and the news that numbers of Filipinos
have fed are regarded as most serious
occurrences
1t is pointed out by the Filipinos that
this is exactly what happened in 1896
under General Blanco when the FiEpinos,
on the following day, attacked the Span
iards and the revolution broke out"
The members of the Filipino Junta in
this city say they are so anxious to avert
war that they cabled to Manila today
urging the Filipinos mot to start hos
tilities if there is the remotest possibility
of avoiding trouble

a man lies fiat ON his back, bound so that

utes light in the ceiling, far up, shows q

The figure dcscends slowly, the scythe
swings, and the prisoner realizes that unless
some unexpected help should come, ne will
be slowly cut to pieces. What followed is
told by Edgar Allen Poe in the fantastic

The man awaiting the approach of a
dreadful death is type of a large class of I'M

coils of an octopus, have lost all hope offree-

the victim is yet reveling in that glorious
state of e1hilaration which follows the first
use of the drug. Hso, like the man in Poe's

the disease has progressed so far that the
sufferer notices weakness Of the hearts ac-

INTO POLITICS., AS HE Is DOING
TIE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Governor Lowndes' letter. Writing
bureau at Annapolis is still in fall
swing, grinding out letters by the
thousand. The first batch sent out
were to public officials of this State
irrespective of party. Then followed
an appeal to the school teachers, male
and female, asking for their support,
in return for which a promise of in
creased salary is made. This letter,
which ATTEMPTED to brlbe the school
teachers, met with severe condemna-
ton everyw here, and lowered the
Governor in the esteem Of the people
of this State. Even the Baltimore
"News, one one of the most partisan
Republican newspapers and staunch
est supporters of Lowndes, Was forced
to say editorially of the letter. ''Such
az appeal Is in direct violation of the
spirit of the campaign in the Cover
nor's behalf. The toachers should
vote for the ticket of their choice re-
galdless Of suggestions from Cover
nor Lownd S, or any other source"
Nov Lowdes is attempting to drag

letters to the ministers of the gospel.

One Of the prominent ministers, who
received one of the letters in the early
morning mail Monday, remarked
that he thought the "Governor
could have spent his time more prof.
tally on Sunday than in writing poll
tical letters 10 ministers Of the Cos
pei"
This same minister, rep ying to the
Governors letter, wrote: 81 will rot
cast my ballot for any man who spends
the Sabbath day in writing and send
ing out political letters
Surely, LoHndes is in desperate
straits when he is compelled to appeal
for individual votes from school tea
cheers, ministers aud others, whose
callings take them ont of the realm of
politics. His attempt to drag them
into politics is resented in no uncer-
tain tones.
1t will be observed that Lowndes
latest letter was written on SUNDAY
day that We are Taught to observe in
religious manner. What becomes
of the greatest pretenslons of Lowndes
in favor of good government and re-
form? Can such things be expected
of man who desecrates the Sabbath
by writing political letters to minis
tiers!
