MANILA, Jan. 10.-The situation ID

of alarmist rumors are in circulation.
The United States authorities are taking
every precaution. The troops in quar-

mans have disembarked from the trans
ports.
The natives, it is reported, have been
ordered not to work for the Americans
and the employees in the commissary de-
partment have gone on strike. Many
natives are leaving the city. Major
General Otis, however, has the whole
situation thoroughly in ham.
Aguinaldo Again Proclaims.
A second proclamation by Aguinaldo,
bearing the same date as the one that
Immediately followed the one issued by
General Otis, has appeared on the
streets. but it is alleged to have been
recalled. Its terms are much more We
he1nent than those used in the first
proclamation. Aguinaldo threatens to
drive the Americans from the islands,
calls the Deity to witness that their
blood will be on th'ir own heads if it is
shed and details at greater length the
promises he claims were made by the
Americans as to the part of the in.

GREATEST RETlCENCE.

War Department Not Giving Out Its
Iloilo Information.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-A great deal
of reticence is exhibited at the war de-
partment relative to the state of affairs
at Iloilo It is admitted that General
Otis has reported to the department the
facts that were reported to him in turn
by General Miller, but all that can be
gathered as to the nature of the COM
munication is that it goes to confirm the
press reports as to the attitude Of the
insurgents. There are excellent reasons
why the officials at the war department
should at this stage maintain secrecy
as to the instructions governing the
movement of troops in the Philip.
pines. The situation is admitted
to be critical, but not hopeless by
any means, and it is extremely
desirable that the danger of rupture
Clall not be increased by infammatory
publications, which powerfully effect
the excitable Filipinos. 1t is believed
that General Otis is framing a plan of
campaign which will result in the ex-
tension of his control over the island of
Panay ut least without actual hostilities,
or if it must come to warfare, then with
the least possible exposure Of the Amer
lean troops.

A VICTORY FOR THE CITIZENS.
Decision Rendered in the Supreme Court
Against Leland Hume, Lessee.

Decision Rendered in the supreme Court
Against Leland Hume, Lessee.
As will be remembered, about year
or eighteen months ago the Cumber-
lane Telephone Company reduced their
rates to so cents per month in Maury
County, and it was charged by the Citi-
Zens' Telephone Company, and yirtu-
ally admitted, by the Cumberland, that
this reduction was made as a competi-
tive rate. That is, it was the purpose
of the Cumberland Company, to in
duce the general public to take their
instruments and thus to ''freeze out"
the Citizens Company.
About the time of the reduction of
rates in Columbia, some citizens in
Memphis applied-under that section
of the code which makes it a forfeiture
of 500 per day to refuse to give equal
rates to all citizens without partiality-
for the same rates that were given in
Columbia. The Cumberland Company
replied, columbia ia q little torn and
Memphis is large city, and hence is
not entitled to so cheap rate as Co
lumbia." Then Brownsville, Tenn,
applied for Columbia rates, and
brownsville is small torn and not
entitled to so cheap a rate as big torn
like Columbia
Both of said towns, viz, Brownsville
and NJ emphis, then instituted suits to
compel the Cumberland Telephone
Company to give them the rates in
force at Columbia. The Cumberland
Company then transferred, or claimed
to have transferred, their Maury
County Exchange to Leland Hume,
Lessee, who was the Secretary and
Treasurer or general manager of
the Cumberland Telephone Company.
Stree then he has, under the name of
| Leland Hume, Lessee, operated the
Maury County Exchange.
A bill was drawn up by Messrs. T.. III =.
Hatcher, James A. Smiser and Judge
Sam Holding, who was not at that time
on the bench, to have said lease set
aside as fraudulent and void. The
case was brought into the Circuit Court
of Maury County and Judgment was
| there rendered by Judge Williams
against said Leland Hume, Lessee, de-
claring said transaction a fraud and en-
joining him from operating the Maury
County exchange. Hume appealed to
! the Supreme Court.
The case has been argued in the
Supreme Court'for several weeks, and
the decision of that court has been
awaited with much interest by the
friends of the Citizens Company. Last
| Saturday the court handed down an
/ opinion depOsing Mr.. Hume as lessee
and declaring that he usurped the fran
chises Of said company, and perpetually
enjoined him from further operating
said exchange. Consequently, the ex-
change must be operated under the
name OF the Cumberland Telephone IL
Telegraph Company.
This is a signal victory for the Citi-
zens, and the attorneys who brought
about the result deserve all the more
praise from the fact that they did II
without one cent Of remuneration or
reward.

BUILDING & LOAN WINS.

The Court of Appeals Upholds Chancellor
Abernathy's Decision.
A decision was handed down last
week in the Chancery Court of APP
peals, upholding the decision of
Chancellor Alternately at this place
in the cases of Cowley and Moore
against the Maury County Building
& Loan Association, rendered at he
regular term of Chancery Court held
last October.
These cases against the Building
& Loan Association were begun in
September, 1897, and have attracted
a great deal of interest on account
of the importance attached to them.
The complainants, Cowley and
Moore were borrowers from the
Association, and, upon failure to
pay their dues, their mortgages
were foreclosed and their property
offered for sale to satisfy the mort
cages. Bills were then filed in
Chancery, attacking the right of the
Association to foreclOse the mort
cages; claiming that the complain
ants, Moore and Cowley, had al
ready paid back the money they
had borrowed, with a legal rate of
interest, and charging that the
Association had overstepped the
rights and privileges granted it by
law, and that it had become merely
a banking institution and was charg-
ing usurious rates of interest.
Chancellor Abernathy's decision
was to the effect that the act of the
Association in fOreclosing the mort
cages against Cowley and Moore
was in strict conformity with the
law, and that it was entitled to have
full possession of the property.
The Court of Appeals upheld
Chancellor Abernathy's decision in
every respect. The case now goes
to the Supreme Court.
