ANOTHER PROCLAMATION BY AGUlNALDo
Erhorts soldiers to Conduct Them

Consider Them worthy of

MANILA, Nov 2.-5;54 p. m.-Agulnaldo

Der to decide whether the imperislistic
policy" and this bloody work are TO be
continued" He eXhorts hio soldiers to can
duct themselves so that congress will con-
slider them worthy of independence and asks
the priests to avoid politics.
A crisis in the Filipino cabinet is pre-
dicted as the result OF the resignation of
Paterno and Nuencamiuo, two Filipino lead
ers, who have lost the confidence of the
rabid revolutonistc.
Some FilipinCo who attempted to come to
Manila with the Spanish commission re-
ceived message from Major General Otis
saying the women and children would be
given American protection, but that the men
who had cast their lot with the insurrection
must remain with 1t. The party includes a
brother CT General Luna, who wac assas-
snated by the guard before Aguinaldo's
house, with his family and the Filipino Sec
retary of the treasury's family. The party
returned to Tarlac.
Lieutenant Slavena of General MacArthur's s
stall, reconnoitering with eighteen men in
frcut of Angeles, discovered a Filipino out
post in trench. The Fillpinos numbered
about forty. AS the Filipinos had sighted
the Americans Lieutenant Slavens only
course was to charge and his party rushed
to the trench shooting and yelling. They
killed three of the Insurgents and wounded
several, who, however, succeeded in escap-
ing. Not one Of the Americans was hit.
Tho lieutenant secured valuable information
about the enemy's position.
The feeling of disquiet aroused at 1oilo
by the arrest Of Santiag1, wealthy Filipino
who has been charged with forming revolu-
tiouary junta, has subsided. The Filipinos
inside the lines were heard chanting the
death cong at night, with the refrain The
Americans Sleep A provost marshal's
force surrounded the quarter and drove the
suspicious looking natives outside the line.
The Americana of Iloilo and adjoining
towns OF Jaro and Molo number about 4O0O
men, consisting of the Eighteenth and
Twenty-sixth regiments, two battalions OF
the Nineteenth regiment, a detachment of
the Sixth regiment and a battery of the
Sixth artillery. The Filipino force is sup
posed to be about 5000 and many men un-
armed. Their lines are about 9OO yards
from Jaro, which is occupied by the Twenty
sixth regiment. The insurgents are sup
posed to have five smooth bore cannon. For
long time past they have been building
trenches between Jaro and their stronghold
Santa Barbara, eight miles north.

Omaha daily bee., 1899-11-03

The commission sums up the result Of
these frutiess efforts as follows:
mo better proof could be furnished that
the primary object OF his struggle Is not
as is pretended. the liberty of The Filipino
people, but the continuance OF his own ar
bitrary and despotic power. In any event
the American people may feel confident that
no effort was omitted by the commission to
secure peaceful ending of the struggle,
but the opportunities they offered and urged
were all neglected, il not indeed spurned."
The chapter devoted to capacity for self
government is the result, the report states
of diligent inquiry for several months, in the
course OF which great number of witnesses
were examined, Of all shades Of political
thought and occupation tribes and locality.
The most striking and perhaps the most
significant fact in the entire situation Is
the multiplicity Of tribes inhabiting the
archipelago, the diversity of their languages,
which are mutually unintellgible. and the
mutlfarious phases of civilization, ranging
all the way from the highest to the lowest.
AS to this, the report says:
Tho Filipinos are not nation, but a
variegated assemblage OF different tribes AMI
the peoples and their loyalty are still Of the
tribal type" ....
Concerning their intellectual capacities the
commission says:
"As to the general intellectual capacities
of the F!lipinos the commission is disposed
TO rate them high. But excepting in linz
tied number of persons these capacities have
not been developed by educati or expert
ence. The masses Of the people are unsdu-
Gated. That intelligent public Op-Oicn on
which popular government rests does net ex-
list in the Philippines and it cannot exist
until education has elevated the masses and
disciplined their faculty of judgment, ent

HArbOr Convenience Smlshcd.

The United States tugboat Iro
quois broke something else than a
record yesterday. She was towing
out scows loaded with coal to the
battleship Oregon. One of the
Hackfeld scows loaded deep down
was being taken out, dashed along
side the Iroquois. The tug kept
too close inward and brought the
scow bang against nest of piles
near the end of the marine rail
way tracks. There we're five
heavy piles in the nest. which
were all broken clean off at the
bottom. The water is thirty feet
deep at the spot. 1t is wonder
the scow was not wrecked, but
likely it's load saved it. The nest
of piles was one of two at the mar
Dor entrance, put down for fasten-
ing lines to while shifting vessels.
They have been useful in regattas
as turning marks for canoe and
swimming races. The tug Eleu
towed the broken off piles out of
the way.

Many of our good citizens are
now arguing that if Congress fails
to pass the Hawaiian territorial
bill at this session, no election can
be held next September as requir-
ed by the constitution of the Re
public of Hawaii, that under the
Newlands Resolution nothing can
be done except by order from
President Mckinley. This last
may be true bat if we are to Judge
from the past, it seems reasonable
to believe that unless somethin &
occurs to cause the President to
change his mind, he will order
that Hawaii's elections, etc, shall
run along the same as usual until
Congress has acted.

ed his sympathy to the poor devil

To me there is nothing in this

He is like mariner without

Then escaping from the nest of
serpents, water snakes and -yul-
lures, ex. governor Taylor took
flight to the happy resting ground,
and sent out the dove of peace
with this laurel:
Il am no longer a candidate.
Never again will I be inaugurated

humble public career now rests on
the Ararat of private life, and l
stand on the peaceful summit and
look down on the receding flood

Tennessee. Some of our local

had put up some very pretty breast
works out of stones and other ex-
cellent material of which there was
an abundance to hand A lot OF
capital fighting ensued as the

packed off back under escort. Some
of them had uniforms, some were
old and bent and withered, others
were mere boys, and sorry lot they
looked as they were marched in il
gangs of varying sizes and deposited
in the arsenal. A considerable
number were badly wounded ano
were taken to the hospital.
