If there is one thing that General Henry

Porto Rico it is the fact that nothing sticks
to the hands of American officials when
they leave the island. and that their record

SUNK AT HER PIER.
Steamship Germanic at the Bottom of
North River.


NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The White Star
line steamship Germanle, lying at pier 45
North river shipped a quantity of water
and settled to the ground tonight with
what the rates call an s degrees list. The
Germanic came into port last Saturday,
heavy with ice, and when her cargo was re-
moved the ship was top-heavy. A large
gang of men worked all day yesterday coal
ing the ship and were at the task when the
accident occurred They say the most of
the snip list. The heavy wind and com
paratively rough sea in the North river to-
gether with the untrmmed cargo of coal
and the top-heavy condition of the vessel,
because of the ice on her side, made the ship
very unstable and she rocked greatly. A
small hurricane struck the river at $3.50 p.
m. caused the vessel to roll away over the
port, submerging the open coal holes and
permitting her to ship a great quantity of
water in her bunl1ers. The tide was low and
the Germanic grounded. 1T is said that she
is not damaged, and will he all right as
soon as the water is pumped out. This will
be accomplished before noon to-day
The Germanic was built in Belfast in July
1874. She is 455 feet long by AZ feet in
breadth and "a feet depth of hold. Her gross
register is 5086 tons and her net register
1889 TONS She has eight bullsheads, three
masts and three decks. Her commander is

the same. The faculty Of Colby University
to-day ordered the institution closed and
sent the students hurredly to their homes
The same action was taken at Coburn In
stitute. The State Board Of Health is
searching for those persons who have left
the city the past few days in order to
quarantine them to prevent the outbreak of
the infection in other places. Nearly every
smallpox case in nearby towns has been
traced to the city. The infection was first
brought here by soldier from Southern

AGONcILLo INDIGNANT.
Says He Did Not Advise AguinaIdO to
Drive Out Americans.

Drive Out Americans.
MONTREAL, Feb. 13-Agoncillo the Fill
ipino commissioner, in an interview tonight,
gave an unqualified contradiction to the
cablegram from General Otis, in which it is
stated that he, Agoncilo, telegraphed ad-
vising Agunaldo to drive the Amer
leans out before reinforcements ar
rived. THE falsity Of this is proved
by the American papers themselves
said the Filipino, in which you may
see the statement that many Filipino officers
were arrested in the theater just prior to the
commencement of hostilities. 1t is not likely
that our officers would be found in the thea
ter if they knew that war was to commence.
The thing is absurd on the face 1t would
have been suicidal for me to telegraph any
such instructions. Our policy was to main
tain attitude of reserve"
Following is a copy of an official telegram
from Aguinaldo received by Agoncillo which
was translated by Senor Marti: "On Sunday
night the American army attacked our lines
with premediation and without justification
and the men-of-war of the American flotilla
bombarded simultaneously Malabon. Caloo-
can and Paranaque, killing men, women and
children. In the cities of Manila and Tendo,
defenseless and unoffending civilians were
arrested, the Americans besides iniuring the
property of the people, at the same tins
saying that they would never cease till they
had exterminated the Philippine race The
Fiipinos are united with one sentiment.
They are resolved to die gloriousIy for the
independence of the Philippines rather than
to submit to the unjust ambitions of the in
vader"
