Purpose of the Expedition.
1t is assumed here that the purpose
of the expedition is to move down the

Dagupan and Apparri are the strong
holds of the insurgents in the north
and supposed to be the points where
most of the filibustering parties land

il has been the unanimous opinion of
military experts here that Dagupan
should be made base of opera TONS

VIM. Haggerty Jr. was arraigned in
the municipal court late yesterday sf-
ternoon on a warrant charging him
with burglary in the second degree. He
was brought into the courtroom hand

from John Harris of S., AS Harris re-

WEED WILL RESIGN.

weather comes again requiring the
windows to be closed, he will step out
of the council.
Aid Weed offered a motion at the
last meeting of the council forbidding
smoking during sessions of the council
Some of his brother aldermen, who are
fond of the weed, voted the motion
down on tie vote. Mr. Weed was in

stopped, and hygienically he was right

HURRY ORDERS ISSUED.
No Time Lost In Starting Watson's
Reenforcements

Washington, Oct. 5-The navy de-
partment was busi1y engaged today in
arranging to reinforce the feet in the
Philippines, as suggested yesterday by
Admiral Dewey, in the course of his
conference with the president.
In going over the field of available
ships it was found that the plan con-
ceived last evening of sending the
Marietta and the MachiaS with the
Brooklyn would have to be modified so
as to drop the two gunboats
By noon the department had COM
pleted its programme and was in posi-
ton to send sailing orders to the ships
leans was telegraphed to proceed at
once to the New York navy yard to
have some changes made in the galley
apparatus. This change can be made
in six days when the ship will start on
her voyage. The Brooklyn Will be
turned back from Hampton Roads as
soon as she comes within signalling
distance and sent to New York, whence
she sailed this morning before the de-
partment could reach her with orders.
She will be ready to sail by the end
of next week.
A cablegram was sent to the Nash
vile at San Domingo to proceed at once
to Manila via Suez and she is expected
to get off within tWenty-fOur hours.
Orders were also telegraphed to the
Badger at Mare Island to proceed to the
Philippines as soon as possible. No
orders have as yet been sent to the
Bancroft at Boston.
1t was suggested at the navy depart
ment that three of the four vessels now
under orders for Manila will pass
through the Suez canal and so will be
available to divert to South Africa
quiring the presence of a United States
naval force.

DIABOLICAL PLOT
To Burn Otis Residence and
Other Prominent Buildings.

Manila, Oct. 5.-The archbishop of
Manila notified Gen.Otis that there was
a plot on foot to burn the residences
of the governor general and the arch
bishop together with several govern
ment buildings and banks, but the plot
failed to materialize.
AguinaldO according to a report
brought to Manila today by a Dominican
friar from the north has issued to the
Filipino soldiers in the northern pro-
Vinces an order to return to their
towns and to resume farming. The
story lacks confirmation but the rumOr
may be in accordance with Aguinaldo's
policy to keep the country as productive
as possible, using his men in alternate
shifts on the farms or under arms.
Dagupan, San Fernando and Delicinict
which are under the guns of the United
States Warships, are supposed to be
evacuated. 1t is alleged that the evac-
uation orders calls upon the male in
habitants to be orderly in case of the
arrival of the American troops and ex-
presses the hope that the Americans
will protect the town.

HONORS FOR PARTY MEN.
Thirty-nine House Chairmanships to
Be Disposed OF

Washington, Oct. 5.-There are fifty
six regular and three joint committees
which the next speaker of the house
will have to fill up. Even if all the old
chairmen were reappOinted there would
be twelve vacancies at the head of the
standing committees and two in the
joint committees which the speaker will
have at his disposal. These include the
chairmen of the committee on accounts,
alcoholic liquor traffic, banking and
currency, claims, coinage, elections NO.
3. expenditures in public buildings, eX-
penditures in the state department, ju-
dietary, patents, and rules. and the joint
committee on enrolled bills and print
ing.
Colonel Henderson will retire from
the head of the judiciary. committee,
and, as speaker, will become chairman
Of the rules committee. There will be
struggles for all the chairmanships, but
it is believed Colonel Henderson intends
to reappOint most of the old men. The
Illinois chairmen in the last house were
Cannon, appropriation; Hit, foreign
affairs; Hopkins, census; Marsh, mill
tia; Smith, private land claims; War
ner, revision of laws. 1t is believed
they will all stay in.
AS Wisconsin was the first outside
state to declare for Henderson it is be-
Heved the delegation will be looked af
ter. Minor of Sturgeon bay is credited
with the best chances of promotion He
is the third member of the committee
on claims and coinage, in both of which
the chair will be vacant. 1t is believed

these two, as BabcOck will probably re-
main at the head of the district commit
tee, one of the most influential places
in the house It is believed AIcC1eary
of Minnesota will be a strong candidate
for the craftsmanship of banking and
currency.
If Payne is left at the head of the
ways and means committee he will nat
urally be relieved of the craftsmanship
of the committee on merchant marine
and fisheries The place by seniority
would go to Hopkins of Illinois, but
he already has the census committee
temporarily important, and besides
that is opposed to the Hanna-Payne
subsidy measure. AS the merchant
marine committee will have charge of
that bill it is presumed that General
GrosvenOr would like to exchange his
present place as chairman of the COM
mittee on mines for the other, as he
could take charge of the shipping bill
when it comes before the house.
