AT THE CAPITAL.
Wheels of Government Clogged By ths
Snow.

Washington, February 13.-with two
inches less than three feet of snow on
level ana the mercury lowering constantly
near zero, the capital is In the grasp OF the
most severe blizzard IN Its history
The snow fall, which began on Saturday
evening, has continued without cessation,
the official measurement in fifty hours be-
ing twenty inches on top Of the heavy fail
of few days preceding. Driven by
high northwest wind, 1t has drifted in banks
of from five to eight feet In Depth suspend
ing all traffic, tieing up the street car lines,
cutting off the city from all outside commu-
nication by rail and causing untold suffer
ing among the poor.
At the capitol neither houses Of congress
had quorum and only a handful of clerks
put in an appearance at the various de-
partments, all of which closed early die
missing Their employees. At the city hall
the same conditions prevailed and no courts
were held while public schools made 10
attempt to hold sessions Towards after
noon, when the railroad companies were
forced to admit that their traffic was prac
tically abandoned, the city was forced to
real zing that a ia mine of coal and pro-
visions was impending
The price of everything in the eating line
went soaring skyward. While discomfort
is general even in the homes of the well-to-
do the police report that the condition of
the really poor, particularly the large col
ored population, is pitiful in the extreme.
Every effort is being made by the officials
and the charitable association to al
leviate the suffering, but on account of he
terrible weather conditions but little can
be accomplished. There has not been dur
ing the day a moments cessation of the
snow fall and with the gale prevailing to-
night 1T is dangerous for any one but
strong man to venture out.
Many persons have been overcome by
the cold, but no fatalities have been re-
ported within the city limits.
The Potomac river is frozen from lis
source to Point Lookout, where it empties
into the Chesapeake.

HIGHLY GRATIFIED.
The War Department Officials Hear of
Iloilo's Capture.

Washington, February 13.-The Associated
Press dispatches announcing the capture of
Iloio, on the island of Panay, by General
Miller, was the first news received in Wash
ington of the capture of the second largest
city in the Philippines.
The news was quickly carried to the pres
ident at the white house. who received it
with pleasure. Half an hour later the Of
ficial announcement of the fall of the city
came in a cablegram from General OTIS
which General Corbin promptly made pub
lie. ezssfs
There is feeling of intense qualification
among administration officials who are
aware of the victory, considerable appre-
hension has existed, not, however, as to the
ability of the Americans to take the place
when they decided upon tbs step, but as to
the loss of life which this might incur. The
tension between the opposing forces at Iloilo
has been for some time at the danger point
and a collision between them at any time
would not have surprised any zone. here
1t is felt that General Miller has conducted
himself with great circumspection in treat
ing with the natives, as their attitude has
been anything but concilatory and petty
annoyances have been resorted to by them
to provoke the Americans. ~
About a month so ago the officials in
the Philippines deemed it wise to send
forces to noilo because of reports that the
natives were gathering IN tnaL ana nelSh-
boring localities and were threatening to
take the city. General Miller, who was on
duty at Manila, was selected for this duty,
and several regiments of infantry were Sc
lected and conveyed by an American man
of-war. Before they had reached Iloilo, the
spaniards, who then occupied the town,
surrendered it to the insurgents. When the
American troops attempted to land they
were notified by the insurgents that such
course would precipitate battle, and Gem
eral Miller, under his instructions to pur-
sue a conciliatory course, held his men
aboard the troopships. The men became
tired of this, and about two weeks ago the
Fifty-first Iowa was sent back to Manila,
and the First Tennessee was sent to Iloilo
to replace it. AS soon as the latter arrived
1t is believed General Miller decided to
force a landing.
The desire OF the administration has been
that the natives should submit to the Amer
lean demands and avoid forced fight, but.
1t appears that up to the last moment tney'
could not be SO persuaded. General Miller
has with him the Eighteenth infantry ard
Battery g of the Sixth artillery and, if they

IN NEW YORK,
Thorough Blizzard Raging in the Me-
tropolis.

New York, February 13.-The storm which
has been raging since Saturday night in
creased in violence today, becoming a thor
coming down. bitter northwest wind
drives the snow in clouds through the
streets, piling up three-foot snow drifts.
The street cleaning department, after strug-
Cling for thirty-six hours to clear the prin-
clpal streets, gave up entirely. Traffic is
greatly hindered and elevated trains pay 10
heed to schedule time.
Ia the suburbs, where the winds have free
sweep, the drifts are five to ten feet high;
street railways have stopped altogether and
suburban steam railroads are blocked.
Many neighborlng towns are cut off from
New York altogether. Floating ice cakes In
the rivers hinder the ferries greatly. No
person ventured from his home today unless
compelled to do so. Tonight the streets,
even in the theater district, are almost de-
serted. The temperature is higher than last
Friday and Saturday, but the flying snow
stings like a whip and persons who are
obliged to be out suffer terribly.
All the charitable societies are taxed be-
yond their resources, owing to the unprece-
dented demands made upon them. Nearly
all the poor are either freezing or starving
today. The continued storm has handicap
ped all efforts to aid, and the blizzard of
today has necessltated complete suspen-
sion of such efforts. In the poorer quarters,
the Jews, Italians, Greeks, and Syranians
and Americans, who seek living by sell
ing fruits, confectioneries and other small
articles from push carts and stands have
been driven out of business altogether and
brought to the verge of starvation.

WERE FINALLY RESCUED.
Five Persons Were Adrift on the Ice for
Fifteen Days.

Chicago, February 13.-After being adrift
in the ice foe in Lake Michigan for over
fifteen hours, the five persons who were
carried out Sunday evening by the breaking
of the ice were rescued, and 1t is not ex-
pected that any of them will be much the
worse for the experience.
The names of the saved are:
Elmer d. Brothers, Miss Orel Manley,
Chauncey ManIey, Guy W. Caron, and
George Mallory.
The castaways were discovered at day.
light, four miles from shore, by the Chicago
Life Saving crew. Miss Manley was almost
dead when the life savers came, but the
physicians think she will recover entirely.
The five people tramped up and down all
night In their efforts to keep warm, and,
finally, when Miss Manley became uncon-
scions, they made bed for her of their
overcoats.

Mia the following dispatch:
After the capture OF Caloocan, a Span
lard who had been prisoner there came
to the Americans holding up his hands
and said that the Filipinos had
offered 70 release the Spsniards, especially
the arttlierynen, If they would undertake
to fight against the Americans at "a day
Most of the Apaniards refused and most of
those who accepted the offer did so In the
hope of effecting an escape.
The rebels, according to this informant,
are discontentsd, unpaid, unfed and thor
oughly disilusionixed, the talismanic waters
being of no avail against wounds, hunger
and fatigue.
On Friday Agunaldo visited Palo, few
miles north of Caloocan, and addressed the
Filipino troops there, claiming that he had
won a victory, and asserting that 1900
Americans had been killed.
