Oregon Going Straight to Manila.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The Oregon is
not going to Samoa, but will go straight
ahead to Manila after taking coal at Homo
lulu, according to the officials at the Navy
Department. The dispatch Of the ocean
going tug Iroquois yesterday from San
Francisco for Honolulu was not inspired by
the desire to change the Oregon's orders,
for, a matter of fact. the Navy De-
partment arranged two months ago to put
the Iroquois to use as a dispatch boat be-
tween San Francisco and Honolulu pending
the laying of a cable, and this trip was pro-
jected at that time. OF course, the oppor-
tunity to send dispatches to the Oregon was
seized by the Navy Department.

ALMOST A CONFLICT.
Americans Threatened by the Fill
pinos-Another Proclamation.


MANILA, Jan 10, via Hong Kong, Jan.
21.-The Americans and Filipinos were
probably nearer a conflict this afternoon
than at any time since the occupation.
Fortunately the matter was amcaby set
tied. A Filipino lieutenant, imagining that
his men had been insulted by some Amer
lean troops, marched company of forty
armed natives to the line of the Americans,
and the sentries, four in number, back OF
the Montana regiment, in obdience to or
ders, were compelled to retire to the out
post in order to avoid trouble AS the Fill
ipinos disobeyed the command to halt de-
ployed in the canebral1e and as
sumed a determined, threatening at
utude, Lieutenant Jansen, who was
in command of the post, telegraphed to
brigade headquarters and General Otis per-
sonally investigated the matter The Fill
pino captain was summoned, and he was
also found to be excited. AS result of the
conference he admitted that the Filipino
lieutenant had exceeded his authority His
men We're dra Tn up in line, saluted cour-

retired The incident is significant, as it
shows the tendency OF the FIIipinos to dis

NEW ROUTE FOR THE CANAL.
More Feasible than the Old One, but
1t WAS Not Accented

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 21.-John T.. Le-
baron, well-known civil engineer, declares
in an interview here that while engaged as
an engineer on the old Nicaragua canal he
discovered new and practical route for the
interoceanic connection. Il was one of the
engineers in charge" said he, land became
thoroughly acquainted with the territory,
and when / discovered the new and more
practicable route, at once laid it before the
men backing the enterprise. But they were
pledged to put the canal through on practi-
cally the route they had laid out, and did
not act on my suggestion. and furthermore,
did not want any ring said Of the new and
shorter route. WI n Congress acted on the
matter and the President designated a COM
mittee to go thoroughly over the ground
and report on all feasible routes, / at once
wrote the committee saying that if it was
desired that I would go to Washington and
make known my route. / asked for no COM
mission or money having no other interest
in the matter than the public interest The
committee did not see fit to accept my offer.
and therefore I have never divulged the
route. The committees has reported favor
ably on the LulI route. which. / believe,
presents obstacles that make it impracti-

proposes is mucn shorter than any other.

sued by an American and signed "W. T.,
appeared on Friday and appealed in broken
English to brother Americans and comrades
to let the Filipinos alone, and that IF their
officers compelled them to fire, to please fire
in the air" The proclamation also appealed
to Americans to disregard Filipinos who
pretend to favor annexation" and alleged
that the American agitation to hold the
Islands is fostered by a few officers who
are making money thereby" The procla-
nation concluded with paraphrasing the
Monroe Doctrine in the words the Philip
pines for the Filpinos."
A native dentist here named Arevelo has
been arrested. He denies the authorship of
the document, but admits connection with
it. Other arrests are probable. He has been
twice imprisoned by the Spaniards for trea-
son. He was formerly an aid of Aguinaldo,
and his arrest caused CONSERVATION among
the Fnpinos
The native paper Independence which is
now published at Malolos, was unusually

situation. it says: 1.-The Americans are try
ing all the time to excite the Filipinos to
commence hostilities, in the meantime trick
ing the natives for the purpose of gaining
time necessary for bringing out reinforce
ments." The paper adds: "rhe proclama-
ton which was suppressed and for which
Arevelo was arrested. appears to have hit
the nail on the head. The Filipinos need fear
nothing. The American soldiers are com
pletely demoralized. They are unwilling to
fight free people who are only demanding
their rights"
The idea of possible deception is probably
more general than the authorities knoY. A
Filipino officer said to the correspondent
that it was ridiculous for the Americans to
think that the Filipinos believe they are
bringing more troops and war ships here to
establish a protectorate over a country for
which $20,000000 has been paid.
The Malolos government is inf1exible and
Aguinaldo's determined stand seems to have
temporarily welded all factions together.

DE GARLICHE EXPEDITION.
Surgeon Cook Reports It a Com
plete Success.

BUENOS AYRES. April 4-The
steamer Belgic, having ON board the

copyrighted cable dispatch dated Mon

erick A. Cook, surgeon of the Belgic ex-
petition:

originally planned. We lost men by

The last previous communication from
the expedition was from Ushu ala, the
southern point of Terra del Fuego, De-
cember 4, 1897, stating that on the
next day the steamer would sail for the
unknown south. Originally the pur-
pose was to return last fall and refit at
Melbourne, Australia, but ,to-day's dis
patch makes it certain that the Belgic
party was the first to winter south of
the Antarctic circle.

WARREN F. LELAND.
The Proprietor of the Burned
Windsor Hotel Dead.

NEW YORK, April 4.-Warren F.
Leland, proprietor of the Windsor Ho-
tel, which was destroyed by fire On
March 18th, died at 5:34 o'clock this
afternoon at the Hotel Grenoble Mr..
Leland's death followed an operation
for appendicitis performed on Friday
last
Mr.. Leland had apparently been in
good health up to Thursday last, not
withstanding the amount of work he
had to do in connection with the burn
ing of his hotel and the grief he felt
at the loss of his wife and daughter,
who were among the victims of the
fire. On that day he began to COM
plain, and as his illness was evidently
serious, a consultation of physicians
was held on Friday, and it was deemed
advisable to perform an operation
After the operation the patients con-
dition was satisfactory, but he had a
relapse on the following day, and a
second relapse to-day. At 4 o'clock
this afternoon he began to sink rapid

THE CUBAN ASSEMBLY.
Votes to Disband the Army and
Dissolve.

HAVANA, April 1.-The Cuban Mil
itary Assembly this afternoon voted 10
disband the army and to dissolve Inc
voting was twenty-one in favor against
one opposed.
The muster rolls were left in the pos
session of the Executive Committee OF
the Assembly, who will facilitate the
preparation of copies for Governor Gen
eral Brooke.
The army question is considered set
tied
The Assembly before adjourning sine
die ordered the disbanding of the army,
and passed upon the details and meth
DDS of the disarmament. A new Ex-
ecutive Committee was then appointed
to attend to the routine work connect
ed with the commission of Cuban Off
GERS. and this committee will supply to
General Brooke the copies of the Cuban
muster rolls.
Salvador Cisneros of Puerto Principe,
who was chosen President of the Cuban
republic at the meeting of the Provin-
cial delegates at Puerto Principe Sep
TENDER %, 1895, and was ultimately
succeeded by Senior Batolome Maso, was
the only member to vote against the
resolution to disband and to- dissolve.
This afternoon the Executive Com
mittee resigned, and a new committee
was elected, composed of Seniors La
cret, Hevia and Gualderto Gomez. This
committee which is entirely unofficial
will attend to matters connected with
the officers commissions.
General Andrade considers that there
is no reason why General Brooke, now
that the Assembly is dead, should be
unwilling to ask the unofficial commit
tee to deliver the muster rolls. If any
objection still exists in the mind of the
Governor General, Andrade suggests
the committee should hand the rolls
to member of General Brooke's staff
