SALINAS, Jan. 31.-Frederick A. Eken.
a veteran of the civil war, and for more

in a ramshackle hut filled with all sorts
of rubbish, surrounded by no less than
thirty cats and six dogs, which shared
his couch and food. He owned horse
and cart, but to save the animals

THE PRESIDENTS
HEALTH AFFECTED
Illness Compels Him to Decline In1i-
tations to Future Cere-
monies

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-A dispatch to
the Press from Washington says: The
President is SO much interested in the
outcome of the struggle over the peace
treaty that he is constantly inQuiring
about it's progress. He has been so
worn by the shock of persistent oppo-
| sition in the Senate that his health is
affected.
= For more than a week Mr.. \
+ Mckinley has been far from well. 4
4 To intimate visitors amongpublic \
4 men he has confided the condi- 4
= ton of his health as the reason =
= for not accepting their invita- =
4 tons for future ceremonies. At \
= the same time the assurance has \
+ been given that his illness is only \
\ temporary and certainly will 4
r yield to medical treatment. \
Believing that the rumor of his i'll
ness might cause unnecessary concern
the President has desired to keep his
condition from the public. and until to-
day this wish was respected. But a
New York member of Congress who
had been to the White House brough,
the report to the Capitol and spread il
that the President was far from well
Friends Of the President assert he is
improving and that he soon will be al
right.

AGONCILLO WOULD
CENSOR THE PRESS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-In his let
ter to the Secretary of State yester-
day, inclosing a memorial against the
ratification Of the peace treaty, Senior
Agoncillo, the Philippine envoy here,
expressed regret that he had not re-
ceived any assurance of the peaceful
intention of America toward the Phil
ippine Republic, and that his people
are left to fear the forcible destruction
by America of her late ally, the more
so as additional troops had recently
been sent to the Philippines. while vio-
lent expressions in the newspapers and
false accusations mentioned in them
against Senior Agoncillo, may serve, he
fears, to increase their fears. He re-
grets to observe that these express
sions and accusations have received no
official condemnation.

did not consider that we were especially
concerned as to the future of the Fill
p1nos, and so far as he was concerned
he would leave them to work out their
own salvation. This would be far pre-
ferable to assuming responsibility for
them and making them citizens of the
United States, as they would inevitably
come to be If the treaty should be rati-
| fed. We had made allies of them in
the Spanish war by the acts of our own
agents and, in the interest of fair deal
ing should let them achieve their in
dependence if they could do So
Senator Mason, in a few words, in
dorsed Senator Moneys position that
the Filipinos would be made citizens by
the ratification of the treaty and Sena-
tor Teller, in brief rejoinder, contro-
verted this position, saying that an act
of Congress would be necessary to fix
their status toward the body polite.
Senator Hoar also Endorsed Senator
Moneys position.

to the acquisition of the Philippine
archipelago, and said that he had
frankly advised the President and his
fellow commissioners of his belief that
it would be unwise to attempt to shape
its destiny. He had used his best en-
beavers to bring them to accept his
views, but had utterly failed. He had
at last reached the conclusion that he
would either have to join with the ma
Jor1ty or see the treaty fail and the war
continue. In the meantime he had been
largely won over by the arguments of
his colleagues and by the logic of the
situation and he had at last concluded
to sign the convention.
Having taken his position he was
here now to defend the treaty as wise
conclusion of a most delicate diplomatic
undertaking. Many complications had
beset the commissioners in their work,
and while he would not retract what
he had heretofore said as to the I'M
desirability of acquiring distant terri
tory as a matter of principle still there
were times when a nation, as an indi-
vidual, might have TO choose between
evils. There was danger Of many COM
plications of an International character
in case the United States should have
elected to pursue a different policy. He
reiterated that the ultimate conclusion
to take the entire Philippine group was
that of the commissioners rather than
of the President and also went into the
difficulties of getting the Spanish Com
missioners to come to conclusion.
Senator Gray did not advocate per-
manent occupancy of the Eastern is
lands, but said that the duration of our
exercise of sovereignty there should
be settled in the future and not at
present.
In reply to question by Senator
Mason he said that he would not at
tempt to fix a time-that this only could
be done after We had had an oppor-
tunity TO study the situation, to know
the people and learn their capacities.
He had every confidence in the Ameri-
can people and he believed that they
would not only give the natives their
freedom when they had shown a ca
pacity for taking care of themselves
as a nation of the world, but that they
would manage the affairs of the islands
wisely and well while they controlled
them. They would give the islanders
a fair start in civilization before turn
ing them loose to shift for themselves
Senator Money attacked the acquisi-
ton of the islands as contrary to the
spirit of American institutions and as
unconstitutional. He said the Govern
ment of the United States could not af-
ford to put itself in the attitude of a
Don Quixote in a vain effort to care
for and advance the interests of every
people in every land that appeared, ac-
cording to our standards of civilization
to need our help. He had been an ad-
vocate of Intervention in the case of
Cuba, but from this fact it did not fol-
low that he was willing to transfer the
Philippines from Spanish vassalage to
a dependency Of the United States. He

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Jan. 31.-A spe-
cial to the Gazette from Texarkana,
Ark, says: There passed through Tex
arkana to-day eight trainloads of negro
soldiers, 1900 in number, composing the
Tenth United States Cavalry, en- route
to San Antonio, When they arrived
here they were drunken mob and an
effort was made by them to tear up"
the town.
A number of the colored soldiers
kicked in a door and entered a resort
and started to run the place at the
point of loaded rifles. Constable James
Rochelle was called to the place after
they had broken up the furniture. A
chase for the cars resulted and just as
they reached them Rochelle captured
the leader of the gang. AS soon as he
did so a hundred rifles were leyeled at
him and every negro loaded his gun.
Every car window held a drunken
negro with a cooked rife and after the
guns had been thrust against the Of
fcer's face the negro escaped into the
cars.
The news spread and every officer in
Texarkana and hundreds of citizens
hocked around the negro soldiers, who
seemed anxious for trouble. County
Attorney Horace Vaughan placed him
self in communication with the Gov
ernor and as a result the trains were
held here for seven hours. The negroes
wanted were kept in a car with an
armed guard outside. The trains were
surrounded by irate citizens, who We're
supplied with dynamite, ready to send
the entire horde to destruction. The
negroes learned of this and finally
agreed to hand over the guilty ones
upon Identification, but as this was i'm
possible no arrests were made. Cool
heads prevented more serious trouble.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

T ONGKONG, Jan. 31.-The Fill
IL pino junta here publishes its
protest against the refusal of
L L the United States to associate
with the Philippine Commission
representatives of the national govern
ment," adding that the usefulness of
the commission will necessarily be
greatly limited by the exclusion of Fill
pinos."
The protest continues:
ut is impossible for the commission,
sitting only at Manila, unaided by the
friendly cooperation of the national
government, to reach a proper under
standing of the actual condition of af-
fairs in the Philippines, the unanimity
of the aspirations of the people and
their capability for self government.
Colonel Denby's utterances in the
November Forum are too pronounced
to inspire confidence"
PARIS, Jan. 31-The Filipino junta
here has received a cable message from
Hongkong explaining the second proc
lamation of the Filipino republic. The
message says:
The first proclamation in August
was the work of Aguinaldo and the
generals. The second is the unanimous
work Of the Filipino assembly"
Last week a Filipino boy was shot
by an American soldier in suburb of
Manila because he was wrangling with
a Chinaman in the market. The soldier
was not prosecuted and the boy s
father, in revenge, attacked an Ameri-
can outpost armed with a knife and
killed three of them. The rest fed.
The Filipino escaped.
"A Filipino officer was killed while
walking in Manila by an American SOL
der. There was no prosecution.
THE American army is daily provok-
ing hostilities by acts of vandalism"
The junta also assert that the allega-
lions respecting the filibustering expe-
dition and anarchy are falsehoods.
The whole country" it is asserted,
has declared its. unconditional support
of Aguinaldo, whose authority has
never been defied The public evidently
ignores the fact that every province in
the archipelago is represented in the
congress"
General Otis action in prohibiting
code kilograms is a fragrant breach of
international law, but the truth is leak
ing out. The Filipino newspapers de-
nounce alleged gross abuses at the Ma
Mia custom house.

SENATORS TALKING
ABOUT THE TREATY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-During al
most the entire morning hour to-day
the Senate had under discussion the
policy of this country TO be pursued
in the Philippine islands. Mr.. Berry
of Arkansas in a speech upon the res
olution offered by Mr.. West discussed
the policy of expansion without a ref
erence to the constitutional point in
volved in the Vest resolution. He
spoke from notes, stating his objec-
tions to the pending treaty of peace.
He declared that he would never vote
to place upon any people a policy
against which Lee fought and against
which Jackson gave up his life.
An attempt by Mr.. Bacon Of Geor-
gia to secure a vote upon his resolu-
ton, which, IN brief, declared that the
United States Government VIII not
make war upon a people seeking for
their freedom, precipitated lively de-
bate, which was participated in by
Mr.. Plat of Connecticut and Mr.. Tel
Ter of Colorado. Mr.. Bacon declared he
would never vote for the treaty unless
some such declaration were adopted
by Congress. To this Mr. Platt took
exception and delivered speech in
which he carefully analysed the stu
alton which confronts this country in
the Philippines. No action on the res
olutions was taken.
When the Senate went into executive
session Senators Gray and Money &C.
cupied the entire time in speeches on
the peace treaty, Senator Gray favor
ing ratification and Senator Money OPP
posing 1t.
Senator Gray was the third of the
Paris Commissioners to speak, and
while he gave some attention to the
published matter bearing upon the
treaty he did not go into this in such
detail as did Senators Frye and Davis
He admitted that In the beginning OF
the negotiations he had been opposed
