Manila, June S-The efficiency
of the insurgent secret service has
caused General Lawton to adopt
new tactics in the campaign north
of Loguna De Bay. Instead of
prearranging an expedition of
his troops with his officers, the
troops under Hall at Moronga and
Vitality at Pasig are to be ready
to move in any direction on thirty
minutes notice, thus making it
next to impossible for the Tagals
to get word to their officers where
the Americans will strike. There
is little doubt that the insurgents
near Moronga were notified that
the Americans were to throw them
selves behind them and drive their
whole army down the Moronga
peninsula and capture them.

DICTATOR A0UINALDO.
Agile DIsmIsses F1Is Filipino Congress
and Makes Himself Dictator.

Manila, June Sit is reported
that Aguinaldo has dissolved the
Filipino congress and declared
himself dictator. The report is
credited in Manila by the Ameri-
cans here. 1t is not known wheth-
er the congress favored this scheme
or not, but as the congress was
composed of officers of Agulnaldo's
army it is supposed they agreed to
the change. These officers COM
posing the congress were COM
pletely under the command of
AguinaldO, and the change in gov
ernment would be in name only.
A son of Buen Canine, one of the
Filipino peace commissioners, was
captured while enroute to Manila,
by General Luna. He has chal-
lenged Luna to a duel on account
of an alleged insult to his father.

Otis today as follows:
The result of the movement Oh
Morong province was to drive the
insurgents into the mountains,
capturing Antipolo and other
towns. The enemy retreated and
scattered before our advance, leav-
ing 25 dead on the field. Our loss
was four killed and few wounded,
mostly slight. The city of Nor
ong, commanding the only land
route around the bay is garrisoned;
all other troops are withdrawn.
The inhabitants of the province
profess friendship and ask our pro-
lection Large numbers wish to
enter Manila but all are refused as
the city's population Is increasing
too rapidly. The leading natives
throughout the island, including
active insurgent leaders, seek per-
mission to send their families to
Manila which is considered the only
place of personal safety"

THE OLD, OLD STORY.
ToIe Told by Uncle Bob Owens OF Mus
koRee. In Washington,

koaee. In wsshIneton.
Washington, D. c., June -
Robert Owens, lawyer and news
paper man. of Muskogee, l. T., a
member of the Cherokee tribe, and
of partial Indian blood, is in the
city. He is here on business be-
fore the Interior Department.
Speaking of the work of the Dawes
commission in the territory, he
said:
The commission has had land
Office in operation now three
months, and it has made a good
beginning on the allotment of the
lands of the territory to the Indians
in severalty under the recent act
of Congress. The first tribe taken
up was the Creeks. and already
1000 allotments have been made.
There are 10000 to be made in the
entire territory and 10000, 900
acres to be divided. The Indians
will get all the way from so acres
each to $40 acres each, according
to the wealth of the different tribes.
The entire allotment would require
eight years or more, according to
present rate, but the commission
will be able to proceed much more
rapidly as soon as it is more fami-
liar with its work"
Mr.. Owens said of the feeling of
of Indians regarding the new order
of things:
They are, for the most part,
bitterly opposed to it. The wise
men of the tribes see in the distri-
button of the land the beginning
of the end of the disintegration of
the five tribes and their ownership
of the land The Indian regards
the land as a gift from God, not
to be distributed and not to be
bartered or given away. When a
tribe holds its land as a whole this
cannot be done and its property is
safe. Under the new system, al
though there is at present in the
law a provision that the Indians
may not sell their individual lands,
there will soon be modification,
without doubt, which will allow
them to dispose of them as they
see fit. Then the white men will
come in and get possession of
everything, as they always do, as
soon as the bars are let down.
The lands are rich, and each In
dian owns a small fortune under
the new plan, but they will nearly
all be induced to sell out, and for
very small prices by the persuasive
whites. The new law was. in fact.
dictated by the whites, and their
greed for the land was at the bot
tom of it. 1t will be only few
years now, as sure as fate, before
the Indians will be driven out of
the territory The full-blood In
dians realize this even more than
the half-breeds, perhaps, or at
least the thought of it appeals to
their peculiar natures more. They
are, as race, lovers of isolation.
There is a movement on foot now
among the full-bloods, to emigrate
as a body to Mexico. | believe
this will be done, and that II, 900
of them will go before many years
are past and found a new Indian
colony"

New York, January THE New
Yorker Stats Zeitung will publish to-
morrow the following from its Berlin
special cable correspondent:
Il am informed from an unquestion-
able source that after the surrender of
Iloilo the Spanish general tried to in
duce the German consul at Manila and
the German vice consul at Iloilo to take
charge of the protection of the private
interests of the Spaniards. The two
consuls wired to Berlin for instruc-
tons and received the following an
Swer:
The German empire, being a neu-
trail power, is not in a position to take
charge of functions which could easily
be construed as partially for Spain. All
we endeavor to obtain in the Philip
pines is protection and unrestricted
movement of our commerce. Since we
see that both are secured under the
United States flag we are fully conf
dent that there will never arise a sit
uation which could cause us to deviate
from the strictly neutral attitude OBJ
served by us up to this day"
The correspondent adds that tho
Washington government has been in
formed of this declaration.

An Increased Appropriation Will be Asked

for It,
Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, January An
increased appropriation will be asked
for the hospital for the insane at Wes-
ton this year.
I'VE will ask" said DR. Stathers, the
superintendent of the hospital, who
was here to-day, for $165,0O0, which is
$4,000 more than the last appropria-
ton. For the last four years the hos
pital has been running behind, not
through mismanagement or because of
any ones fault, but simply because the
a preparations have not been large
enough to meet the expenses Of the in
stitution.
I'VE have a big institution and II
takes a lot of money TO run it. We
have now 1920 patients, the largest
number the hospital has ever had, and
within ten of its greatest capacity. For
these patients we have 10 attendants.
It requires 720 pounds Of beef a day,
81 pounds of coffee and 30 pounds of
butter, with other food in proportion
to feed them Then all tho patients
have to be clothed Medicines cost a
good deal, gas for heating costs S.. 1000
a year and this all counts up rapidly.
1--WE have our own electric light
plant now and it is one Of the finest
small plants in the State. The entire
building is lighted with incandescent
lights and the grounds with arc lights.
Ten thousand dollars Of the approprla-
ton asked will be used to pay what is
still due on one Of the new buildings
and about $4,000 Of 1t for other In
debtedness which has been accumu-
lating."
DR.. Stathers says no special legisla-
ton will be asked for and no new build
ings are required. :. All the hospital
needs now is a lit @larger appropria-
tion for current LICENSES.

Special to the Register.
Washington, ID. c., January An
order was issued from the Office of the
Adjutant General to-day for the imme-
date muster out at Columbus, Georgia,
of the First Regiment, West Virginia
volunteers. This is the result in great
part of pressure that was brought to
bear on the War Department by those
members of the regiment who were dis
satisfied with soldier life on a peace
basis. and were unwilling to do gar
rison duty in one of the United States
colonial possessions.
Although the order is supposed to so
into effect Immediately it will be al
most full month before the boys will
return home. This is on account of
the machinery of the War Department,
which even this long after the close
of the war is clogged by red tape, and
sadly out of repair.
In the first place there are very few
officers of the regular army detailed
for mastering out of volunteers, and
these are all busy mastering out other
regiments that preceded the First West
Virginia. 1t may be one or two weeks
before start is made on the West Vir-
ginia troops, and then an almost in
terminable time will be required to
conform with the rules and see that
everything is done according to army
regulations.
The mastering out officer will be fol-
lowed by the paymaster. whose pres
ence will be heartily welcomed by the
sturdy soldiers from West Virginia, as
it is understood that there is consider
able back pay coming to the men and
officers of the regiment. Moreover, he
will pay the boys in full to the date of
muster out, and if the bill now pend
ing before Congress is passed in time
they will receive as a bonus a full
months pay with ration money.
The regiment will not come home in
pouy, puI VIII pe uloudhueu 1T Ooi-
umbus. This will be no hardship,
however, as, according to an old army
law, the men will be allowed for every
twenty miles of the return trip a days
pay with ration money from Columbus,
Ga, to Charleston, where they entered
| the United States volunteer service.
This will equal about eighty cents for
every twenty miles, or considerably
more than transportation.

PULLM AN,
The Feudal Town Established by the
Sleeping Car Magnate, Will be
Sold.

Chicago, January 1.-THE Chronicle
VS.: The dream of George NJ Pull
hams life has been shattered. The
Eenced-in model town of Pullman is to
become a free community. The
anomaly of city within a city is at
an end. The Pullman Palace Car Com
pany has accepted the decision of the
Supreme Court of Illinois sustaining
the contention of Attorney General
Maurice 7. Maloney. The Pullman
Car Company has instructed it's attor-
neys to close the SUIT. The terms of
the decree are now being prepared.
The decree will divorc the great cor
poration from everything save the
business for which it was incorporated.
Thus will end a feudal institution,
the town of Pullman. It's churches
and schools, its hotels, its magnificent
Arcade hall, the market house. the
public library, and 1000 brick resi-
dences will be sold to the highest bid
ders. The Pullman Iron & Steel Com
+ Pany will be reorganized. The brick
works will pass from the control of
! the company.
The streets of Pullman will be given
Lover to the authorities of the city of
SChicagO and the water works also will
pass into the control of the city. Pull
man will cease to be a hedged-in
municipality. It's property will no
longer figure on the assessors books
as $50 acres with the improvements
thereto" In the scheme of disposing
OF the vast and multiplied interests of
the company that the Supreme Court
has declared must be abandoned
preference will be given to the EN-.
ployes to purchase the homes whicn
they now occupy.

INDEPENDENCE.
Manila, January within a few
hours of the proclamation issued by
Major General Otis, in behalf of Pres
ident Mckinley, the agents of Agui-
naldo billed Manila with manifesto
which attracted considerable atten-
ton.
The revolutionary president pro-
tested against Gen. Otis signing him
self military governor of the Philip
pine Islands.
Aguinaldo, in his manifesto, declared
he had never agreed at Singapore,
Hong Kong, or elsewhere, to recognize
the sovereignty of the Americans here,
and insists that he returned to the
Philippines on an American ship solely
to conquer the Spaniards and win in
dependence. He asserts that both his
proclamations of May "a and June II
stated this fact officially, and he claims
that Major General Merritt confirmed
this by proclamation several days
before the Spaniards capitulated, stat
ing clearly and definitely that the
American forces came to overthrow the
Spanish government and liberate the
Filipinos.
In conclusion Aguinaldo declared
that he had natives and foreigners as
witnesses that the American forces rec
ognized not only by acts that the Fill
pinos were belligerents, but publicly
saluting the Filipino flag "as it tri-
umphantly sailed these seas before the
eyes of all nations
Aguinaldo then solemnly protested,
in the name of the Diety who empow-
cred him to direct his brethren in the
difficult task of regeneration, against
the intrusion of the American govern
ment and reiterated that he can pro-
duce proofs that he was brought here
on the understanding that the Amer
leans promised him their cooperation
to attain independence.
The revolutionary leader then called
upon all his followers to work together
with force and assured them he is con-
WINGED that they will obtain absolute
independence and urging them never
to return from the glorious road" on
which they have already so far ad-
vanced."
Major General Otis attaches no i'm
portance to the manifesto. He says he
feels confident that the opinion of the
better classes of the Filipinos is not
expressed in it, but as to whether the
Filipino masses can be controlled and
the Filipino army kept in check, he
does not know, although he hopes for
a pacific outcome of the trouble.
Madrid, January Cen. Rios, in
command of the Spanish troops in the
Philippine islands, cables that the hos
tilities between the Americans and the
