barded The crew was taken prisoners
and removed to Porac.
| Petrino, the president of the so-called
Filipino cabinet, has fallen into dis
favor among the Filipinos on account
of his peace proclivities. They sus-
pect him of planning to repeat his
| treachery of the former insurrection,
when he went over to the Spaniards,
and they may expel him.
American officers north Of Manila
tell the correspondents of the Associ-
ated Press that Aguinaldo is attempt
ing to enforce good government after
the American fashion, ordering his SOL
diers to suppress a band of robbers,
three of whom were executed at Mar
aquina. He has also prohibited gam
bling in the villages under his control.
The Manila Times reports that Gen
eral Otis has peremptorily driven the
Dominican friars out of the San Jose
college of medicine ae Manila and
turned the college over to the Manila
educational department. The friars had
been previously notified that they had
no business with the medical college
and must vacate. After disregarding
the notice four days after General Otis
exercised his authority. Students re-
fused to sign a protest favorable to the
friars. This college was a Spanish in
stitution, managed in connection with
the Santo Tomas University. Under
Spanish rule the Dominican friars were
permitted to do some Of the work.
When the Americans came in the Do
minicans endeavored to hold the college
as their own. They appointed the fri
ars to all professorships and undertook
it's complete management as a church
institution. The American education
al authorities found this distasteful to
the Filipinos and believed, further, that
it should be managed by purely medi-
cal men. The matter was referred
for decision to General Otis, the Phil
ippine commissioners, and, supposedly,
to President Mckinley himself.
