legs go. determined to fight the fire and
prevent its spreading. Fortunately the
only thing on fire was the chimney of
Dryden's Hall. and was caused by Il

Disciples who intended holding services
there. The Fire Department responded
quickly, but their services were not
needed On Tuesday morning about !

ULTIMATUM TO
....AGUINALDO.
The lnsurgent Leader Must Sur
render Within Forty eight
Hours.

MANILA. March - President McKin-
ley's Philippine Commission has issued
its proclamation tn the Filipinos The
proclamation says that the United
States, through the international obi
cations il has assumed, is responsible
to the whole world for stable govern
ment i'll the Philippines, and that these
responsibilities cannot he ignored The
Commission suggests to the natives the
establishment of native govern
ment that will suit the capacity
and requirements of the Filipinos and
at the same time be consistent with the
interests of the United States
The address conveys to the natives
the fact that il is the President sole
aim to found such a system of govern
ment as will enable the Filipinos to
administer their own affairs under
American control, American protection,
however, not to be exercised in any
spirit of tyranny or vengeance.
The proclamation recites that, Span
ish power having been destroyed on the
islands, the United States is bound to
restore peace, and To this end the insur-
gents are directed to lay down their
arms and place their trust i'll the Gov
eminent that has freed them from Span
ish oppression.
The majority of the Commissioners
are disposed to concede to the Filipinos
a sort of tribal autonomy, under Il
central American Government, To be
conducted on a military basis until Il
purely civil system shall prove to be
feasible.
AGUINALDO MUST SURRENDER.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 22-Gen-
cral Otis has served an ultimatum. with
time limit of forty-eight hours. upon
Aguinaldo. and unless the rebel chief
surrenderS within two days. the Gen
erai will promptly proceed to crush his
rebellion.
Opinions differ in official circles as to
whether or not Aguinaldo will yield.
but as rule civilians are encouraged
by the fact that the Philippine Com
mission thought it worth while to make
a last offer of peace, 10 believe that it
will be accepted, since Admiral Dewey
and General Otis are members of the
commission. and approved its action.
The belief that the rebels now realize
that their cause is hopeless, and that
nothing but further loss of life can
follow further fighting. is based upon
statements made by prisoners and by
Flipinos in Manila, and has evidently
impressed the American commanders.
1t is evident that Aguinaldo realizes
that crisis i'll affairs ut Manila has
been reached, and the next few days
ought to prove decisive.
