WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-General
Otis had another victory to record this
morning, and though the action before
Caloocan did not result in as heavy loss
to the American side as the battle OF
last Saturday night and Sunday morn
ing, it is believed to have quite impor-
tant results. Caloocan is on the line OF
railroad connecting Manila with Malo-
los, the insurgent capital, and it may be
that the capture of the first named
town will make it possible to advance
rapidly by rail upon the insurgent
headquarters if it shall be deemed nee
essary to force the fighting and under
take the capture of Aguinaldo.
The officials here were encouraged to-
day by General Otis quotation OF the
opinion of credible persons-Ftlipinos.
It is understood to the effect that Agui-
naldo no longer has the power to keep
the insurgents under his lead, and this
points to an early submission of the
insurgents to the American Govern
ment None will be allowed to come
into Manila, however, until they nave
laid down their arms for good. AS Tor
Aguinaldo, 1t is now believed that ne
will refuse to the last to make terms
that would meet with the approval of
General Otis, and that when the insur-
rection falls through he will make his
escape to the continent rather than re-
main in Luzon.
General Miles is very anxious con-
cerning the fate Of the army reorgan-
ization bill, and fears 1t may not pass
at this session.

in Congress, who have heretofore re-
garded an extra session of Congress as

ping, which is composed of the lead
ing ship owners of the United King
dom.
The chairman, in his opening address,
which was openly applauded, said that
while excellent relationship now existed
between. Great Britain and America
there were questions which would have
to be faced and settled. He hoped the
Foreign Office would not agree to the
abrogation of the Clayton -BulWer
treaty unless the neutrality of the
Nicaragua canal and non preferential
rates were guaranteed to Great, Britain.
The chairman further remarked that
Great Britain also had the greatest in
terest in the ultimate control of the
Philippine Islands, as up to now the
valuable carrying trade. from the is
lands had been almost entirely in
British hands, and he urged the Gov
ernment to tighten the heavy burdens
of the ship owners, in view of the in
creasing competition of Germany and
the fact that America was doing every
thing possible to get her trade carried
in her own vessels.
The Speaker, referring to the fore
going references to the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, says: @.
1--WE do not think both bills before
Congress are clear and satisfactory ITO
British interests, and it is desirable
that the guarantees should be7stronger
than ordinary law"

PRICES Of MEAT
ASCEND SKYWARD

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1.-THE wholesale
price of meat has taken jump within the
Slast week that is phenomenal. In that
time prices have advanced 25 per cent,
'andsth is no prospect of a decline. The
Wholesale quotations on meat that go into
force on Monday are, in cents: Beef, 71a;
veal, 71a; mutton, 8; pork, tx.
There has been no such advance since
the time Of the washouts t in 1898, except in
is blissfuliy unaware of the tremendous
increase. 1t is predicted next week will
see an advance in retail prices to corr e.
spond with the wholesale prices. Beef
win reach the highest figure. Arizona
has been supplying the Southern nc Califor-
ty thoroughly exhausted, and now buyers
are purchasing cattle in and around Ba-
kersfield and other northern points and
in Nevada The wholesalers unhesltating-
ly declare that beef will reach cents
very shortly. The cause of this unusual
advance is attributed chiefly to the dry
weather, here and the severe weather in
Oregon and Washington, with a conse-
quen. shortage of fat cattle

PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE Bonapartists
are not resting on their laurels. On
Thursdaysthere was nanother manifes-
tation at Nouveau Theater. similar to
the one. about which I cabled you a
fortnight ago. This demonstration
was also in connection with the per-
formance of sfLe Rio de Rome" ALI
prominent members of the Imperialist
party. were present and the widest en-
thusiaSm was shown during the prog
ress of the play, and again the audi
ence kept up a lively running fire of
comment. There were, however, this
time several counter manifestations,
and for q short interval the perform
ance on the stage had to be suspended
while the one in the auditorium was
brought to an end. A sort of free
fight ended in the utter defeat and
flight of the nti-Imperialists.
The Figaro yesterday reproduced a
passage from the st. Petersburg vi
Edomesti stating that Prince Louis
Napoleon had been received by the
Gar, who invited him to stay to
luncheon. tits also believed the Prince
is about. to leave for Brussels, where
he will confer with his brother, Prince
Victor. According to the ~Bonapartists
the subject of the conference is whether
the moment for striking a blow for the
restoration of the. empire Is not within
hailing distance.
There is certainly "a very general idea
that a change Of some sort is inevita-
bic. ~"

AMERICAS CASE Is
DIGNIFIED AND ENERGETIC

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE sudden
change in the attitude of the German
Government respecting the complications
at Samoa, reported in the press dis
patches, is attributed here to the fact that
ambassador White, within the past day
or two, has been able to deliver to the
German Foreign Office the formal pre-
sentation of the American case. While
dignified in tone, it was good deal more
energetic in remonstrance against the
conduct of the German officials at Samoa
than Mr.. White had given expression to
or perhaps had even conceived. But, in
asmuch as every claim of our Govern
ment has been. based on, a strict adher-
ence to .the lines of the treaty of, Berlin,
the German Government has found itself
under the necessity of moving to secure
an amendment to- that convention in the
line of it's desires, according to the usual
methods of diplomacy. The United States
and British Governments doubtless will
give ready response to any invitation on
the part of the German Government for
another conference, providing there is an
understanding in advance of the objects
to be attained.

TROUBLE AHEAD.
By Bushwhacking Tactics the Ma
tives Will Worry the Ameri-

Day.
copyrighted, 1899. by the Associated Press.


LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE dispatches
from Manila occupy prominent posi-
ton in the British newspapers, and
there is no doubt that the American
victories are popular here. The British
cannot understand the incredible folly
of the. Filipinos in forcing hostilities,
which is put forward as proving the
correctness of the American view that
they are at present incapable of self
government.
The weekly newspapers devote con-
siderable space to the developments Of
the past week. The Speaker says:
1.-The American course is justified by
the account Of the fighting, and even
more fully by the Filipinos' own state
ment Of their case. Their efforts to
starve and worry the American troops
into sickness and their generals into
concessions eliminated with an at
tempt to control the water supply Of
the city, which would have resulted in
intense suffering to 100000 people nom
combatants The Americans resistance
taught the Filipinos a severe lesson on
the customs of civilized warfare"
The Speaker predicts that there will
be little more real fighting, expresses
the opinion that the real difficulty is
how the government of the Philippines
is to be carried on, and says:
THE only way America can fulfill
her mission is by a trained civil serv-
ice. The brilliant reputation acquired
/ by West Point during the past fifty
| years encourages the hope that civil
service academy will meet with no less
success. Few people take more kind
i ly to training or acquit themselves bet
ter than the American graduate. He
4 has more adaptiveness than his Eng
/ 'lish colleague; has probably more ener-
/ gy and stronger will We have little
doubt that a trained civil service for
her new possessions viii show Amer
lea the desirability of trained civil
service for herself"
The Saturday Review says: 1.-THE
thought of what would have happened
at Manila if Aguinaldo's savage troops
4 had been let loose in it's streets is II.
self sufficient to make US view the vic.
4 tory with satisfaction. The revolt
however is not likely to end with tht
slaughter around Manila. The guerrilIs

PROOF AGAINST ELECTRICITY

REDLANDS, Feb. lie. L. Crawford,
electrical engineer at the power house Of
the Southern California Power Company
in Santa Ana Canyon, made short cir
cult last evening by striking his head
against live copper wire carrying $4,000
volts, while standing upon a transformer.
How much of the current passed through
his body cannot be approximated, but It
was sufficient to blow out the fuses in
the power house. Yet Crawford was un-
injured by the electric volt, save slight
burn upon the head. The shock caused
him to fall distance of eight feet to
the floor, cutting deep and ugly wound
upon his head where he struck upon the
transformer. That the electric shock did

The report covers the time up to the
end Of October only, but the surgeon
general says that smallpox has ap-
peared since that time in some 'regi-
ments, and that the death rate has
been relatively higher from this cause.
The surgeon general says there is no
accurate data as to when the sickly
season begins in the Philippines. but
that the generally accepted view ac-
credits more fevers to the spring
months than to other seasons

Situation Is Critical.

New York, Sept. S.--A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says Reports
that 10000 troops will be moved imme-
diately. from India to Natal and that
Sir Redvers Butler will be appointed
commander of British South Africa are
premature, but the situation is critical
without doubt. To-days cabinet meet
ing will be decisive and the result can
be inferred from the text of the Boer
reply and the probable effect it will
have on Lord Salisbury and Mr.. Bal
four, who together are holding SeCre-
tary Chamberlain under check The
consensus of opinion in London is that
close approach will be made to war
and such a catastrophe will be pre-
vented in the end by the intervention
of the Cape ministers and the retreat of
Kruger, who is cautious enough to keep
a bridge open on his rear.
Mining operators, even millionaires,
do not know which way affairs are 60
ing. and there is no business in the
South African market. Sir Alfred Bull
Ter will command the British forces in
the event of war. kruger's forces are
ordinarily set down as 10000. A good
many of his warriors are dead men,
who are brought to life when there is
an election, but those who are left shoot
straight. Mr. Chamberlain is Queen
Victoria's favorite minister, who is at
court oftener than any of his asso-
ciates.

PAVING WORK RESUMED

TO BE FINISHED ON TIME
Contractor Is Now Confident That the
Work Will Be Completed Before
Snow Flies - Progress
OF the Work

Five carloads of paving stones ar
consequence the work of paving, which
has been somewhat delayed lately has
been resumed. The delay has been
caused by the failure to ~et out the
paving stones as fast as required by
the PAYERS. 1t was feared by some of
the city officials that owing to the de-
lay the contractor would not be able
to complete all the paving that has been
planned for this season Mr.. Kinds,
however, has now obtained some ma
chinery which will enable him to get
out the paving stones much faster than
heretofore. This machinery will be
used in lowering the stones down the
side of the mountain to the railroad
tracks. 1t is here that the delay has
been heretofore. 1t is stated that the
contractor will now be able to get out
five carloads of the stones every day.
If so, the paving can all be completed
before snow flies. Contractor Kinds
stated yesterday that he is confident
the contract will be completed by Nov.
l. the limit allowed in the contract. At
least the contract will be completed
by that time unless there is further
delay occasioned by something now I'M
foreseen.

A PECULIAR SYSTEM.
The Family Names of Norwegians Are
Puzzlers,


The peculiar system of family names
used in Norway by which children are
known by the first name of their father
with an addition to designate the sex,
had good illustration in a marriage
license issued yesterday to Hans Hell
geson and Esther Anderson. The name
of Helgeson's father appeared as Hedge
Storkson and his mother maiden name
as Britta Hansdatter Helgeson ex-
planned that "datter' meant daughter,
and that he had sister whose name
was Johanna Helgedatter. and that
therefore there were three distinct fam
lily names in his own family. After
imparting all this knowledge Helgeson
kicked on paying 81 for his marriage
license and came pretty near giving up
his intention of getting married when
he learned of the expense attached to
a license. He said a friend of his had
told him licenses were free. He finally
paid the 50, but he hated to do it.
