WASHINGTON MONUMENT STRUCK.

Washington Aug. &.-A report made to the War
Department by Colonel Theodore Bingham. the en-
gineer officer in charge Of public buildings and
grounds notes the fact that the Washington Monu-
ment was struck by lightning in an electrical storm
on July g. but sustained no serious damage. A
curious coincidence is that each time the monument
has been struck by lightning the fluid has left the
column al about the same place, namely the fifty
foot landing.

WILL LAND FORCES.
Admiral. Dewey Sends warships and
Men to Iloi1o.


washington, Jan. 6--Admiral Dewey
has cabled to thesaavy department that
he has sent the gunboats Concord and
Petrol to Iloilo to cooperate with the
cruiser Baltimore in support of the
army expedition. These vessels are the
lightest draft vessels in his fleet but
have powerful batteries of inch rifles
and rapid fire guns, which make them
among the most useful vessels in the
fleet. After They are no longer needed
at Iloilo they will continue to cruise
among the southern islands of the arch
ipelago where American jp sdiction has
not yet been established.
Confidence is expressed at the war de-
partment that General Miller will land
all the troops from his transports by the
end of this week. 1t has been decided
that a close confinement of the troops
on Shipboard for over a week would
have damaging effect on their health
and spirits which cannot be permitted
and therefore General Otis will set a
limit on the pacific negotiations with
the insurgents there.
With the display of force that the
army and navy will be able to make in
the neighborhood of Iloilo by the end of
this week it is thought that the natives
will abandon their show of resistance
and welcome the soldiers In any event,
however, according to the present I'M
Outstanding, the troops will be landed
without further delay

Washington. Jan. 6.-The treaty of
peace with Spain, which was submitted
to the senate on Wednesday, has been
made public. 1t is essentially as given
in the newspapers at the time the docu-
ment was signed in Paris President
McKinley's letter, which went with the
treaty, is merely formal message of
transmittal, containing no recommen-
dations.
Accompanying the treaty is a great
mass of correspondence, making print
ed volume of CTS pages. This includes,
among other things, all of the creden-
tials of the American commissioners to
Paris and the protocols, which are the
records Of the daily proceedings of the
commissioners that led up to the final
treaty OF pace embodying necessarily
all of the propositions andcounter prop
osltions of the past, printed in both Ian
guages, English and Spanish. From an
inspection of these it appears that the
press reports from Paris during the pro-
ceedings of the commission set these out
with remarkable degree of accuracy.
considering the secrecy which was sup
posed to cover the proceedings.

SENATORIAL BATTLE.
Quay Carries Republican Caucus, but
the Result Is Indecisive.

quay Carries Republican Caucus, but
the Result Is Indecisive.
The fight over the Pennsylvania sena-
torship began in real earnest on Tues
day night in Harrisburg. Despite the
efforts of the opponents of Senator Quay
to secure a postpcnement of the senato-
rial caucus until a later date, the adhe-
rents of the senior senator carried their
point and secured the Endorsement of
their favorite by 109 of the 1874 Repub-
licans of the Pennsylvania legislature.
This is 10 less than the number necessa-
ry to elect United States senator on
joint ballot, the total membership being
254, Of which 1913 is a majority.
The anti-Quay leaders are jubilant
over the result of the caucus and claim
that the man they are fighting can new
er succeed himself in the senate.
On the other hand, the Quay people
and Senator Quay himself express con-
fidence of ultimate victory. They say
that of the absentees two members Of
The house, Snyder of Luzerne and Clark
of Washington, are kept away by sick
ness and will vote for Senator Quay.

Paris, Jan. 6.--An official telegram re-
ceived by the Filipino junta here, dated
Manila, Jan. 4, says that Aguinaldo has
gone to Iloilo at the request of the in
surgents there to place himself at their
head, with the view of possible fighting
with the Americans.
The, new Filipino cabinet is described
as homogeneous, every member being
pledged, according to these advices, to
resist the American military occupa-
ton Of the Philippines.
A member of the Filipino junta here
explains that Aguinaldo did not run
away. but left Manila for the noun
famous region behind Cavite in order
to make secret arrangements for his
voyage to Iloilo.'
The Filipino who furnishes this infor-
nation also categorically and specifical-
ly asserts that the latest telegraphic adj
vices declare that il the Americans in
sist upon the occupation of the princi-
pal cities by the American troops the
whole of the Filipinos will resist by
force of arms"

physician that whoever would put

a philanthropist indeed and a bene-
