How He Tried to Buy Up the Arms
of the Filipinos.
HE OFFERED $40 APIECE
BUT NOT A SINGLE GUN WAS
SURRENDERED.
This Action On Part of Insurgents
Indicates That the Revolution Is
Not Confined to the Upper Ranks,
AS Has Been Claimed By Ameri-
can officials.

New York, Sept. pa special to the
Herald from Washington says: Word
reaches the war department showing
that General Otis has sought to ilni-
tate the policy employed in Cuba by
buying Filipino arms, and that his eff
forts have been unsuccessful. The ma
tlVeS We're given to understand that
upon the surrender of a gun the Mill
tary authorities would pay the person
surrendering it $40 and guarantee him
immunity from arrest for previous
armed opposition to the United States,
and protection for the future Not
withstanding this tempting offer, not
one bona fide surrender of a gun is
reported.
One native, it is said, appeared with
gun IN hand, and the military officers
began congratulating themselves that
the end was in sight, and thai when
the rest of Aguinaldo's troops learned
of the good treatment given this man,
they would follow his example. A re-
QUESTION was made on the treasury Tor
$40, but before the money was received,
investigation uncovered the fact that
the native was acting as an agent for
an American soldier; who had capture
the gun in action and wanted to dis
pose of it at government figures to the
military authorities.
In view of the Discrimination of tie
natives to sell their guns, il is evident
that the revolution is not confined TO
the upper ranks as believed. Were the
soldiers not in sympathy with their sU-
perior officers, it is said by army Of
GERS that they certainly would have
surrendered in small NUMBERS, as they
had a most favorable opportunity TO
reach the American lines without de-
lection.

Filipinos Enraged Because Lieuten-
ant Gilmore Was Not Ransomed.
Boston, Sept. ga naval otlice.- on
one of the ships in Cavite says in a
private letter written to relatives hero,
under date of Aug. 10:
II made a trip TO Manila purpos ely
to see and interview Spanilrd who
claims to have seen Lieutenant Gilmore
and his men. The SpaniarG arrived on
the 18th. coming through the outposts
at San Fernando de Ia Pampanga. IIic
name is Felipe Gala, and he is a
planter by occupation.
ION the 1st of February last he was
on his plantation when he was sur
rounded by a deputation of natives,
who made him a prisoner. He was
forced to follow the movements made
by the so-called Filipino republic and
tramp through mud and water and over
mountains in their wanderings. Two
weeks before the arrival at Manila he
Raw at Bigan, Lieutenant Gilmore and
his fourteen fellow prisoners. From
his report it is judged that they have
Jared badly at the hands of their cap
tors. and although their courage was
undaunted, they were in bad shape
physically, in. reality being half
starved.
: sGilmore himself said he was in bet
ter health than some of the others, be-
ing a man of strong physique and
strong determination. The whole party
was entirely destitute of clothes and
all the necessities of life. The failure
of the United States to ransom them
as expected had so enraged the insur-
gents that their treatment, which Tor
some time had been kind, had since
been the reverse. The members of the
party, however, were not discouraged
and fully expected TO return to their
friends.

methods employed by the United States
government there would be no trouble
in effecting the speedy release of Gil

FORM FOUR DEPARTMENTS.
How Army In the Philippines Is to
Be Split Up.

washington, Sept. PA plan is
under consideration at the war de-
partment to create an army division of
the Philippines and divide the division
into departments on a basis similar to
that in Cuba. The idea is to create four
departments in the Philippines at least
three of them to be commanded by
major generals. The Philippines here
tofore have been known as the depart
ment of the Pacific.
4 1t is expected that one department
of the proposed new division will con-
sist of General MacArthur's command,
north of Manila; another will be Gen
eral Lawton's command, south of
Manila, and a third will be a new COM
mand to operate from Lingayen or
Dagupan. A fourth department prob
ably will consist of troops in the Islands
south of Manila, which include the
commands now at Iloilo, Cebu, and
other points.
The scheme has not yet taken such
definite form as to determine the COM
mands of the division and departments.
There is little doubt, however. that
Lawton- and Macarthur will remain
where they are now and probably the
command in the islands south will be
under a brigadier general. Another Of
ficer will have to be selected for the
department in the far northern part of
the islands at the terminus of the
Dagupan railroad.
The plan is to give each department
commander all the troops that can be
successfully operated and also insure
sufficient garrisons for all points taken.
Protection to the peaceable tribes is
one of the chief objects sought, as
representations made to the war de-
partment indicate that many of the
inhabitants do not want to fight, and if
unmolested and relieved from fear of
attack by the Tagalees, will assist in
supporting the authority of the United
States and make it impossible for the
followers of Aguinaldo to subsist.

DECLINES THE NOMINATION.
Action of the Massachusetts, Demo
cratic Convention Is Scored.

Lynn, Mass, Sept. 22.-Former Mayor
Ramsdell of this city, nominated for
state auditor by the Democratic con-
vention, has declined to be a candidate.
In letter sent this afternoon to w. S.

dence points to an increasing domina-

minds of many the purpose of building
up a powerful organization for the par
tvs sake has been subordinated to the
purpose of erecting a potent machine
for George Fred Williams sake.
THE point to be gained this year in
the state committees views was the
election of delegation to the next ma

HONORS FOR PRESIDENT D|Az
MExIco,s EXECUTIVE WILL BE
GIVEN GREAT RECEPTION.
Invitations Pouring In Upon Him to
Visit Various Cities-Will Be Ma
toms Guest.

Washington, Sept. 22.-In connection
with President Diaz's, visit to Chicago
it is, expected President Mckinley will
meet the Mexican. president at Chi
cago and invite him to Washington as
his guest and the guest of the nation.
Tentative plans along these lines have
been considered and more definite ar
rangements will be made when the
official announcement is received as to
President Diaz's intentions. Up to to-
day the Mexican ambassador has not
received the official notification of the
presidents plan, but it is expected it
will be at hand within the next day or
two. The ambassador is now on his
way here from Manchester-by-t he-Sea,
and ON the receipt of the notification
he will proceed in person to Chicago
to deliver it to the proper authorities
there.
Diazs route north is expected to be
through San Antonio and st. Louis.
AT the latter place he may make stop
as the Latin-Americans of the latter
city have telegraphed to the Mexican
embassy here requesting that he honor
ST Louis with a visit.
In recognition of, the. presence of a
foreign ruler within the country, it is
probable a representative of President
Mckinley will meet the Mexican presi-
dent at the United States border and
accompany him throughout his stay in
this country. An army officer of high
rank is likely to be selected for this
service.
No less than fourteen invitations
from that many cities have been ex-
tended to President Diaz to be their
guest during his stay in the United
States But the understanding among
officials is that he will not be able to
accept many of these.

RUNS WELL UNDER WATER.
Submarine Torpedo Boat Holland
Makes a Good Showing.

Greenport. n. Y. Sept 22.-The sub
marine torpedo boat Holland made
remarkably good showing during the
practice run today in Little Peconic
bay. The new diving apparatus for
operating the steering engines worked
successfully, the boat getting under
water and completely out of sight in
quick time. The trial was in sending
the boat over a mile course submerged,
at the end of which it came to the sur
face and the torpedo was discharged
from the tube The run under the
water was made in about ten minutes,
and the torpedo was successfully dis
charged from the tube, but owing 10
what is thought to have been a dis
arrangement of some of the mechanism
the torpedo. instead of taking straight
course, took a downward turn and the
volume of muddy water sent up showed
that it struck the bottom about fifty
feet from the bow of the boat.
