Macarthur Discovers Plot to Murder
His Garrison.
Special Dispatch 70 the Standard.
New York, Aug. 9, 2. a. ma Manila
dispatch just received here says:
General Macarthur has thwarted a
plot to murder his garrison at San
Fernando and burn the city. When
MacArthur's column took possession of
the place and established the garrison,
large number of>natives who profess
ed srien as.ap, ;,ot ,ad in. A majority of
them professed to be members of the
Macabee tribe, traditional enemies of
Tagals. They performed many acts of
kindness to the American force and
were rapidly gaining the confidence of
the officers.
Recently they asked for permission
to take the field and fight the forces of
Aguinaldo and presented a plan for the
arming of a large force of their tribes
men. The plan was viewed with favor,
but Macarthur was cautious and de-
cided to make searching investiga-
ton before he took any action. Spies
discovered that the supposed friendly
plan was in reality plot aimed at the
massacre of the garrison and the de-
struction of the city He at once Or
dered every person not a property
owner in San Fernando to leave the
city and used force in the execution of
the order. Men, women and children
were driven outside of the American
lines. The experience of Macarthur
will have a tendency to make other
garrison commanders throughout the
islands extremely careful"

NO POSSIBILITIES OF WAR.
MIR. Choate Attaches Little Importance TO
Laurier'S Remarks.

London, Aug. S.-Joseph H. Choate.
United States ambassador to Great
Britain, was interviewed to-day by
representative of the associated press.
in regard to the recent war or arbitra-
ton speech delivered by Sir Wilfred
Laurier, the Canadian premier. He
said There will be no war. 1t is safe
to say no amount of political talk by
politicians in other countries could or-
casion war in this connection ChOate
added that negotiations We're progress
ing. but" he explained, they are al
ways slow, and I can say nothing at
present as to their status"
The ambassador, continuing, said
that the Canadian parliament was on
the eve of dissolution and that the
leaders of both parties had to speak.
Mr. Choate seemed to think that tn
latter circumstances explained Sir
Wilfrid Laurier's position and he was
inclined to attach small importance to
the premier's remarks.
Regarding Mr. Choata's statement,
the Canadian High Commissioner Lord
Strathcona said to a representative of
the associa ted press:
Sir Wilfrid I.aurier's remarks We're
merely a figure of speech and not a
political dodge, as intimated by Mr..
Choate. Sir Wilfrid Laurer would moi
descend to such a thing, nor did he in
any way mean to challenge the United
States. No sensible man could regard
war as probable. but Canada is simply
taking a leaf out of the United States
book in demanding now what the
United States demanded in the Ven
eZuelan case. Canada is now a ma
ton, though closely allied to Great
Britain. As such she must protect her
rights. We merely ask for an equitable
settlement through arbitration follow
ing the United States lead. We be'ieve
President Mckinley is thoroughly in
earnest in his endeavor to have the
question honestly settled. The misn-
depreciation of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's
remarks by the United States is unfCr-
tunate. Any bitterness or abuse by the
Canadian press is absolutely unauthor-
ized. The negotiations are progressing
and I believe a satisfactory settlement
of the Alaskan question will be
achieved -

was then shot and instantly killed
while resisting arrest. Both are co!ored
and belonged to the 9th United States

to the guard house for inattention to

rifle and went to Jackson's room and
shot him twice, the last shot being
fatal.
After Carter did the shooting he
started toward the city in an attempt
to escape. "A detachment of 25 soldiers
was ordered to capture him. Carter
shot several times at his pursuers, but
had not gone far when he was fatally
shot, his body showing seven bullet

CRIME IN NEW YORK.
1t Is Alleged to BE Increasing Under a
"Wide Open" Policy,

New York, Aug S-Mr Moss, counsel
for the Mazet investigating committee,
opened the session of the commission to-
day by stating that he would attempt to
shcw by the records of the police depart
ment that there has been a large increase
in the number of rohberies and hurglaries
in this city recently and that it is the re-
suit of what has been called the wide
open policy. Mr.. Moss said it was i'm
possible. owing to the lax methods of the
police, to tabulate list of the crimes
committed
When the committee resumed its
sio', Mr.. Moss read from reports of trials
Of delinquent officers before the police
board. He instanced a case where five
officers had been charged with neglect
ing to report an attempted burglary and
with failing to take any steps to appre-
hend the criminals. The case against the
officers had been dismissed with a rep
rimand for each.
Charles f. Dillon, a detective of Mr..
Moss staff. Identified transcripts of the
''robbery' book of Chief Devery, which
he had made for the committee. 1t shows
that from Jan. /, 1898. to May TO-, 1899.
1,0j9 robberies were reported. The total
value of goods stolen was 1894
Witness said the robbery l&,k dat
ed back to March 1. 1897. From that date
to Jan IA. 1895 there were So robberies,
for a total of s172 537. All the robberies
since 1898 in the book were "burglaries"
and were cases where arrests had been
made None of the entries were COM
plant of a robbery. Dillon made a COM
parson of the 10th precinct book and
the chiefs book. He pointed out vari-
Gus discrepancies and said there was no
way of discovering from the police rec
ordS hOw many robheries had been COM
mittrd and reported to the police within
any given time.
Chairman Mazet inquired of Mr.. Moss
if there was any rule in the police de-
p&rtment requiring the chief of police
to keen a record of all rObberies.
Mr.. Moss did not know but associate
couEsc! Clark said that there was rule
to that effect. Mr.. Moss read from the
records of various precincts in an ef-
fOrl To prove to the committee that dis
rlepdncteS EXISTED between the precinct
hlO:ters and the books kept by the chief.
The 18th precinct, the tenderloin, was
next taken up. Mr.. Moss said that in
1897 there We're 21O arrests for felony in
tni. precinct. while in 1898 there were
S3i Mr.. Moss explained that he gave the
figures to show the increase of crime in
the district during the year. In the first
six months of 1899 the number was 1876.
Mr. Moss said that many robberies that
occurred in the precinct were not record
el on the chiefs books. From Jan. /.
1885 un to July |. 1899. there was a total
of SIS 597 stolen money reported on the
book most of which sum represented

Washington, Aug. S.-Aguinaldo's ad-
dress does not worry the officials here.
There is no idea that any foreign gov
ernment will heed the address 1t has
been the desire of Aguinaldo and asso-
ciates from the first to secure such rec
ognition, and the appeal merely put
this desire into a rather formal shape.
and it may bring to an issue the posi-
ton of outside governments. The state
department does not share the appre-
hension said to exist among army Off
GERS that China has given indirect rec
ognition to the Filipinos by refusing to
allow the Americans to ship horses
from China to Manila because they
were "contraband of war" Minister
Conger reports China's course is en-
tirely due to certain domestic regula-
tons prohibiting the expectation of
horses or ponies.
Some time ago General Otis made re-
QUESTION on the war department for
$500 horses to mount the cavalry IN the
Philippines. He stated in the dispatch
that the horses in the islands were not
satisfactory and that the contracts fer
them in China had failed, the words
'contraband of war" being aided.
The matter was then -eferred to the
state department for investigation and
Minister Conger on the 5th wrote let =
ter to Secretary Hay enclosing The cor
respondence that had passed between
the Chinese foreign office and himself
relative to the refusal Of China to al
low the ponies to be exported. Il ap-
pears from this correspondence tina: r..
S. Dalton had contracted at Tien Tsin
for rs ponies and 25 mules, but was re-
fused an export pass. Minister Conger
upon investigation found that the re-
fusal was based upon a law of CHR a
prohibiting the export of horse as and
10
well as other countries and the Chinese
foreign office said they could not make
an exception in favor of the United
States No suggestion is made that the
ponies are contraband of war ana Gen
eral Otis must have been mis!nfCrmed
when he sent his dispatc To the war
department.
The course which the foreign consuls
at Manila will pursue in connection
with Agunaldo's communication is a
matter of some conjecture among Off
cials here. At the state department
there is no disposition to limit the
consuls in forwarding the appeal to
their respective governments. AS a
rule it is quite unusual for consuls
holding exequaturs from friendly gov
ernment. and having official relation
with it, to carry on communication with
an insurrectionary leader. But it is
appreciated that in this case the con-
suls are the innocent victims of Aguin-
aldo's letter writing. AS militarism is
supreme in the Philippines, any ques-
tion arising as to the course of the con-
suls would be referred to General Otis,
but there is no intimation here that he
has been advised of the address or that
he will have any objections to its trans
mission by the consuls. 1t is rather ex-
pected however, that the consuls win
take occasion to advise with the mill
tary authorities as to the proprieties of
the situation before taking final action.

APPEALING TO THE POWERS.
Aguinaldo Requests Them to Recognize
Filipino Independence.

Filipino Independence.
Manila, Aug. S.-Aguinaldo has ap-
| pealed to the powers for recognition of
| Filipino independence" in document
dated Tarlac, July 27, and signed by
| Buencamihio. 1t has been received by
all the foreign consuls in Manila with
the request that they forward it to their
respective governments.
The Filipinos use their old argument
that they had conquered the sovereign
ty of these islands from Spain before
the signing of the treaty of Paris and
therefore Spain was in no position to
cede them to the United States. They
argue that the possession of 1000 Span
ish prisoners captured with their arms
fighting against Filipinos is eloquent
proof of the nullity of Spanish sover-
eighty as when they surrendered
Spain's hold was irrevocably lost.
The document then says:
Replying TO the Spanish commits
| sion's request to release the prisoners
because Spain no longer has political
| interests in the islands, we asked for a
| treaty of peace and friendship between
| Spain and the Filipinos whereby the
| prisoners would be released, but the
| commissioners refused because it would
mean recognition of our independence.
| This is equivalent to saying that the
| prisoners must stay in our hands in
| definitely because their possession is
| our most efficacious method to adjust
our account with Spain and obtain
| from her recognition of our indepen-
| dence"
The Filpinos claim that they con-
quered all the country except Manila,
and that they co-operated in securing
the latter's capitulation by surround
ing 1t at the cost of thousands of lives.
They also claim they conquered the
country unassisted, except for the SO
guns that Admiral Dewey gave Aguin-
aldo and that Admiral Dewey and the
British and Belgium consuls recog-
nized the Filipino sovereignty by asking
for passes to visit the country.
They claim that they have letters
from American consuls and generals.
recognizing their sovereignty and prom
ising that the Americans would recog-
nize their independence which was at
the disposition of the powers"
The Filipinos attempt to make capi-
tai of the statement that Admiral
Dewey had confidence that Aguinaldo
would observe and fulfil the rules of
war that he gave him 100 Spanish
prisoners which the navy had Captur-
ed. Finally the Filipinos appeal TO the
