FILIPINO MANIFESTO.
Americans Charged With Starting
HostiIities and Barbarous Warfare.

Hong Kong, Feb. 13.-The Filipino
iunta has issued the following state
mcnt:
"A Manila steamer has arrived here
with an American censored version oil
the fight which is utterly false. The
Americans commenced firing heavily,
by the treachery Of General Otis,
simultaneously by land and sea.
Aguinaldo possesses signed guarantees
from the American commissioners
that there would be no hostility on
their part. Hence the Filipino troops
were resting. Filipino officers were at
the theater Saturday night and were
arrested shortly before the outbreak.
The bombardment Of the defenseless
towns of Malate, Paco, Santa Ana and
Malabon caused frightful slaughter
women and children. 1t is esti-
mated 1000 were killed. The Flip
inc troops, whose loss was compare
lively small, tenaciously held their po'
sitions. The conduct of the Amer
leans in the suburbs was outrage
Gus. They compelled the inhabitants
TO leave their houses, then shot
them down, regardless of sex. There
is a reign Of terror at Manila. Civil
ians are shot In the street without be.
ing challenged. Iloilo commissioners
arrived at Manila at the invitation OF
the Americans. When they were start
ing to return American soldiers were
looting and pillaging. Aguinaldo sent
commissioners to inquire OF Otis his
reason for hostilities, offering sum
mary punishment if the Filipinos were
found to be at fault. He received no
answer. The Americans were appar-
emily determined on n war of exter-
mination similar to their doings in the
Carolinas in November, violating the
rights of mankind and civilized war
fare, committing n monstrous outrage
on civilization. There Is no doubt the
action of Otis was n political move to
influence the vote of the senate, fear
ing the exposure of corruptions at Ma

young man who was brought to Dead
wood from Lead and placed in the
county Jail by the county physician
under the s%upposition that the young
man was suffering with delirium tre-
mems. it was proven that death came
as a result of a severe attack of pneu-
monia, and that instead of being vio-
lent with too much whisky, he was
suffering intensely from another dis
ease. The coroner's jury censured the
county physician for seeming neglect
of his charge.

New ASYLUM Building.

Sioux Falls, Feb. s.-For some years
county authorities in South Dakota
have been greatly Inconvenience
through the lack of sufficient room at
the state insane asylum at Iankton to
care for all patients promptly, necessi-
tating the keeping of insane persons in
county iails for long periods untl
room could be made at the asylum by
the discharge of persons cured.
To remedy this a new building was
commenced at the asylum, and this is
o nearing completion. Architect
Dow, of this city, states that the new
building will cost south Dakota about
$4,000, but that if ii had been con-
structed for any private person the
cost would have been not less than
$40, 900. The new structure is built OF
Sioux Falls granite.
The saving in the cost of construc-
ton was due to the granite being fur
nished free by The officials of the state
p~enitentiary, and the inmate labor en-
ployed in its construction. The asy-
lum has low ATS inmates.

Dakota Items of Interest

Ed Carr, of Deadwood, fell fifty
eight feet down a shaft in which he
was working near Portland. A COM
panion in the bottom of the shaft
caught him before he struck the bot
tom, which saved his life. He u $
tanned a broken leg and numerous
bruises.
United States Marshal Belding
brought to Deadwood a stalwart
Young Indian buck, who, it is alleged,
murdered another Indian at Pine
Ridge agency. He will be tried in the
United States court at Deadwood.
C. w. Green, United States timber in
~spector for the Black Hills, has been
at Hot Springs recently and has set a
great many to guessing us to whether
people are going to be permitted to
cut wood for their own use. He has
notified parties who have been haul
ing wood to that city to sell that they
are forbidden so doing and it will net
be permitted. The old dead timber
NAV be used for domestic purposes,
| after which timber may be cut by
people for their own use, but they
must pay for it according to stumpage

NEW USE FOR CORNSTALkS.

Poems Grove, n. j., Feb. 13.-At the
big powder works Of the Duponts, at
Carney's Point, interesting expert
ments in smokeless powder are being
made by experts in the employ of the
government. One of the difficulties
that has attended the manufacture so
far is that the powder is not wholly
smokeless and that it apparently loses
strength through storage. The expert
ments, it is said, led to the discovery
that cotton could not be ground fine
enough to bring the best results and
