CLAIMS OF FILIPIN0S
FOR RECOGNITION

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. - Senor
Felipe Agoncillo. the representative of
Aguinaldo in Washington, has filed
with the State Department a memo
randum setting forth at length the rea-
sons for his claims that the Philippine
government should be recognized by the
United States. Accompanying the mem
orandum is a letter in which Senior
Agoncillo states that he had received
no. reply to his communication of Janu-
ary s, in which he asks that a suitable
time be arranged when he could be
presented to the President and heard
upon his claims. In view of the posi-
tion in which the representatives of the
American Government and the repre-
sentatives of the Philippine govern
ment find themselves upon the islands
at this time, he urges that the matter
be given immediate attention.
The. letter and the memorandum have
been listed as official documents in the
State Department, and although the
officials themselves have refused to

1T is 10 be regretted that the ire
spopsible enthusiasm of some Washing
ton politicians should have led to the
use Of language unnecessarily offensive
to Germany. 1t may well be believed
that. Aguinaldo and the insurgents
were inclined to establish relations with
Germany or with any other power. but
whatever views Germany may formerly
have held it is certain that she has not
the least idea now of interfering with
the plans Of the United States as to
the Philippines. Rather than involve
herself in such difficulties she is more
likely thinking of the Carolines. which

less expressed a Willingness for Senior
Agoncillo to do so if he desired. The
papers are now in the hands of Secre-
tary Hay. The memorandum is along
the same lines as statements hereto
fore made public by the Filipino repre-
sentative.
Senor Agoncillo asserts the Filipinos
established and for seven months have
maintained a form of government re-
sembling the American, in that it is
based upon the right of the people to
rule; that Spain having at the time of
the signing of the treaty of peace pos

mainder Of the Philippines. except Ma
Mia, being in possession of the Philip
pine republic, Spain could give no title
to the United States for the islands,
and that having no title to give her
claim cannot be rendered better by the
ratification of the treaty of peace.

LOSES HUSBAND AND
BOTH OF HER PARENTS
Death Deprives Mrs. Joseph Hutch
inson of Three Dearest Rela-
tives Within a Few Davs.

BOLINAS, Jan. 15.-Mrs. Joseph Hutch
inson, who was a Marin County belle
prior to her alliance with a resident of
San Francisco. is now at her old home
here. Death within a few days has de-
prived her of husband, mother and father
under peculiar circumstances.
On Christmas day Mrs. Hutchinson sat
chatting at the table with her husband
at their residence in the metropolis. Sud
denly Mr.. Hutchinson's head dropped for
ward and he slipped from his chair to the
floor, and a physician who was hastily
summoned gave the simple verdict,
heart disease"
Broken-hearted, Mrs. Hutchinson re-
turned to Bolinas. where lived her aged
parents, II. O. Andrews and wife. She
found them both dangerously i'll. The
father was IS years of age and the mother
Sc. Last Wednesday Mrs. Andrews quiet
ly passed away and was removed from
the side of her husband, who, lying in a
stupor, was unaware of the departure of
her who had journeyed through life with
him. Thursday the old man died, and
both were laid away side by side. The
funeral was one of the largest ever wit
messed in this part of the county.
Mr. Andrews was a Presbyterian min
lister, who came to this county from Sa-
lem, Mass, many years ago. AT one time
he was candidate for County Clerk on
the Democratic ticket.

MANY PEOPLE LISTEN TO
PLYMOUTH'S NEW PASTOR
A Crush to Welcome DR.. Hills Such
as Has Not Been Equaled
Since the Days of Beecher.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-There was an ac-
tual crush before the opening of the doors
of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, this morn
ing of people determined to hear Rev. DIR.
Newell Dwight Hills, formerly of Chi
cago, who delivered his first sermon in the
edfice. The gathering in it's different
phases brought forcibly to mind the days
of Henry Ward Beecher, and DR.. Hills
more ardent friends are delighted be-
yond expression. When DR.. Lyman Abb
bott, the retiring pastor, opened the
services at 10:30 o'clock, every pew and
gallery seat was filled and the extra
chairs in the lower aisles were as eagerly
taken.
People stood five and six deep in the
rear aisles, and there was line of lis
teners standing along the walls of the
spacious side aisles. 1t was probably the
largest attendance since the Beecher
period. DR.. Hills occupied a seat on the
platform to the right of Dr. Abbott and
Rev. Henry vi. Field was on the latter S
left.
DR.. Hills was listened to intently. He
seemed perfectly at ease, and spoke so
distinctly that every person in the church
heard him. His theme was Jesus Christ,

Realm of Intellect"

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

He says the Cubans are in the main
peaceable, and there is no danger of a
conflict between them and the Ameri-
can authorities. provided the latter
show the necessary tact. The Cuban
generals have been busily engaged in
disbanding their forces, and are aid
ing in the work of reconstruction in
perfect good faith. He sees no reason
why the Cubans should not form a
Government of their own, but Of
course they would always be more or
less under the protection of the United
States. He denied that there was the
slightest truth in the pretended revela-
tion from Havana regarding the blow
ing up of the Maine.
Akers says tat by the end Of Janu-
ary there will be from $50 to 200 CEN
trail sugar factories in operation in
Cuba. 1t is estimated that the sugar
crop should be from 100000 to 100000
tons, as preparations are already be-
ing made for planting increased areas
next me and July. Thus it will be
seen that the resources of the island
are already entering again on period
of peaceful development.

SPANISH SOLDIERS YET
CROWD CIENFUEG0S

CIENFUEGOS. Jan 15.-The entire
military department of Santa Clara,
Major General J. c. Bates commanding.
is quiet. Twenty thousand
Spaniards still remain in the vicinity
of Cienfuegos, but one transport is now
loading and twelve others are expected
to arrive at an early date. 1t is i'm
probable, however, that the evacuation
will be completed much before the mid
die of February The Spanish troops,
who are thickly quartered in the ware
houses and along the wharves, swarm
through the city day and night. Their
officers crowd the hotels The soldiers
are poorly fed and have had no pay for
months. They are quiet enough, but
their presence makes impossible a
proper cleaning of the towns and pre-
vents activity on the part of the Amer
lean administration.
Six companies fof the Fourth Tennes-
see Regiment are at Trinidad. six COM
panies at Sancti Spiritus, while the
Sixth Ohio Regiment is stationed here.
A battalion of the Sixth Ohio will soon
be assigned to the city of Santa Clara.
The Sixth Ohioans are living in tents
outside Cienfuegos and the general
health of the men is excellent. The
Spanish barracks in town were found
in wretched condition and quite un-
useable, but the barracks at Santa
Clara city will furnish good accommo-
dations and there is well-equipped
hospital there.
Cuban soldiers garrison the country
towns in the province, as we'll as guard
the plantations, whose owners in some
cases pay each soldier $6 month. The
behavior of the Cuban troops in gar
rison capacity is highly recommended
They observe discipline and maintain
perfect order.
The Cuban Mayors and civil admin
istrators in the interior towns Of the
department are awaiting the advent of
the American authorities. In numerous
cases no communications have reached
them from the latter and they are pro-
ceeding with their ordinary duties in
default of instructions.

GOVERNOR OF GUAM

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15-The Presi-

Navy to assign Captain Richard P.
Leary, U. S. N, to duty as military
governor of the island Of Guam. Cap

against his being sent away The case
was laid before the Secretary of the
Navy, and the result is that Captain
Kempff will remain at his station.
Captain Leary commanded the cruiser
