STILL PROTESTING.
Attitude of Our Government Toward
the Filipino "RepubIic" Not
Pleasing to AgonciIJ0.

Washington, Jan. 31.-SiXto Lopez,
secretary to Agoncillo, the Philippine
representative here, called at the state
department about three o'clock Monday
afternoon and left with the chief clerk
another communication addressed to
the secretary Of state protesting
against the attitude of our government
toward the Filipino republic" The
terms of the protest do not go as far as
an ultimatum. The same fate awaits
this communication as that which befell
its predecessor-it will be diplomatical-
ly ignored.
It is believed that a refusal of recog-
milton to this appeal will be the signal
for an attack by Aguinaldo on the
American troops, Aguinaldo having
been invested with full authority to de-
clare war against the United States.
1t is understood also that Agoncillo will
remain but a few days in this country if
he be again ignored by the state de-
partment.

FURIOUS SNOWSTORMS.
Cause Great Suffering Throughout
CoIorndo--Extreme Cold at
Many Points.

Denver, Col, Jan. 31.-Snow began
falling on the mountains shortly after
midnight. and the storm which has
been raging since week ago, with an
occasional let up, is again in full blast.
Fuel and proyisians are getting
very low at Breckenridge, Col,
and much suffering from the lack of ne
cessities must surely result. Not a
wheel has moved out of Como, on the
South Park, for two days, and reports
from there tell of great losses
to range stock. No trains have
moved west of Leadville on the Col
orado Midland for several days. Should
the storm keep up its present fury
great suffering and loss of life will re-
suit. The storm extends along the
mountains of Wyoming, and already
the loss to cattle has been great.
Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 31.-Unusual-
ly cold weather prevails throughout
western Missouri and the state of Kan
sas. In Kansas City, where the mer-
curry registered zero at nine o'clock
Monday morning, the temperature
steadily fell until one o'clock in the
afternoon, when the government
weather bureau officials recorded four
degrees below zero. This is the coolest
weather experienced in western Mis-
souri, since February, 1895.
Omaha, Neb., Jan. 31.-The present
storm is the severest of the season in
this state. For As hours the mercury
has been IS degrees below zero, and in
the northwestern part of the state the
weather has been even worse. Stock
has suffered severely. No estimate can
be made of the individual losses of
range cattle, as no herGer could go out
for an hour on the open range with any
prospect of ever returning alive.
ST. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 31.-Tlfrty-
eight below at Battle Ford and 10 be-
low at Marquette were the official ex-
tremes of temperature in the north
west at seven o'clock in the morning,
while ST. Paul, with 90 below; Duluth,
so below; Moorehead, "a below; Miles
City, 16 below, and Winnipeg, below,
were about average northwestern tenn
peratures.
Dubuque, Ia, Jan. 31.-Severe wealth
er continues. The government Their
mometer marked II below, others IS TO
23. The streets are deserted, and bust
ness is at standstill Reports show
the severest weather of the season
throughout northern Iowa, and much
suffering among stock.
Chicago, Jan. 31.-Ten degrees be-
low zero at ten o'clock Monday night
| marked the lowest notch reached by the
mercury this winter in Chicago. The
cold is growing more intense and it is
probable that Is or IS degrees below
zero will be reached. The intense cold
has caused great suffering among the
poor, but although frozen hands, feet
and faces have been numerous, no
deaths attributable to the cold have oc-
CURED as yet.

Toledo, o., Jan. 30.-The loss of an
entire family in Lake Erie is reported
here. On one of the islands in the Bass
group lived a family named Robson.
The family consisted of the father,
mother, a daughter of 20, son of five,
and hired man, Henry NJ. Martel. The
little boy was sick, and before aid could
be secured from the mainland or other
islands he died. His parents did not
want to bury him on the island, so they
determined to take the body back to
Canada, whence they came. A clinker
boat was used, as the lake had not
frozen sufficiently to warrant a trip
across the ice. The entire family
started on the perilous journey. Just
how the family met death will perhaps
never be fully known, but it is pre-
sumed they were overtaken in snow
storm.
