M'KINLEY'S POLICY
Outlined in a Proclamation by Otis to the
FiIipinoS.

Manila, Jan. 5.-Major General OTIS,
military commander of the United
States forces in the Philippines,
has issued proclamation to
the Filipinos, based upon in
structions, received by cable from
President Mckinley. The proclamation,
which consists of 700 words only ap-
peared to-day in all the papers stimuli
taneously.
General Otis. after reciting briefly
President McKinley's instructions, ex-
presses the opinion that it is the inten-
ton of the American government, while
directing affairs generally, to appoint
representative men, forming the con-
trolling element, to civil positions. He
also expresses himself as convinced
that the United States government in
tends to seek the establishment in the
islands of most liberal government, in
which the people will be as fully repre-
sented as the maintenance of law and
order will permit, susceptible of develop
ment, on lines of increased representa-
ton and of increased powers, into a
government as free and independent as
is enjoyed by the most favored prov
inces in the world. To this end he in
vites the full confidence and co-opera-
ton of the Filipinos. Nothing is said
in the proclamation regarding the dis
armament of the rebels. General Otis
asserts his belief that the United States
government intends, so far as is con-
sistent, to draw upon the Filipinos mill
tary force. Although the government
at Malolos has been reconstructed.
Aguinaldo is still president of the Fill
pino republic
A dispatch from Malolos says that a
majority of the members of the new
cabinet belong to the militant wing of
the party. Mabini's address to the con
gress, however, was more pacific than
had been anticipated. 1t was chiefly a
series of meaningless phrases, outlining
no definite policy.

WARRANTS INVALiDATED.
The City of Tacoma Wins the Suit Brought
Against 1t.

Tacoma, Wash, Jan 5.--In the su-
perior court to-day Judge Carroll hand
ed down a decision which, if sustained
by the supreme court, will invalidate
nearly $1.000,0 900 worth of warrants of
the city of Tacoma, now outstanding.
These are the warrants which We're pre-
sented by the original payee in 1892, 1898
and 1894 to City Treasurer Boggs, paid
by him and then resold to warrant buy
ers. Judge Carroll holds that the treas
urer had no authority to resell the war
rants; that the city never authorized
the transactions and never received any
benefit from their sale. He rules that
the transaction was a criminal one and
known by the warrant buyers to be
such. The money paid the city treasurer
was placed in banks and the court
finds about 100000 was lost by failures
This, Judge Carroll rules, was not lost
by the city, but by Boggs as agent for
the warrant buyers. The court holds
that the city never received any benefit
from the money" There are 10 other
warrant suits pending against the city,
and these will be called at once. They
are all similar and a decision is expect
ed along the line of the one given to-
day. The warrant holders will take the
cases to the supreme court

THE NEW FAST MAIL TRAIN
COMPLETES IT'S FIRST RUN ACROSS
THE CONTINENT
Made the Trip in 3S Hours-It Cut Down
Previous Records by Thir-
teen Hours.

San Francisco, Jan. 5.-The first train
of the new government fast mail
across the continent arrived in this city
tonight at S:45 p. m, having covered
the distance of 3,345 miles from New
York in 81 hours 55 minutes. This is 13
hours less than the former record of 10
hours 55 minutes, and shows an average
speed for the entire distance of little
over 81 miles an hour BY arriving here
in the evening instead of the morning.
the train was able to make all import
ant coast connections, and 1t is believed
the time can be further shortened SO
| that the Eastern mail can be sent out
by the afternoon delivery in this city,
giving business men nearly days adj
vantage over the previous system.
The train arriving tonight left New
York at 9:15 p m. on Sunday and trav-
eled over the New York Central & Hud-
son River, Lake Shore, Burlington,
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific rail-
roads. Chicago was reached at $50 D..
m on Monday. From Chicago to
Council Bluffs two trains were rum one
over the Burlington, leaving at 9:24 p.
m. and making the distance in 10 hours
and 35 minutes. The second train, On
the Northwestern, left Chicago at 10
p. m, having eight miles less to run
than its arrival, and made the time to
Council Bluffs in nine hours and 81 min
utes. Then the mail was carried by the
Union Pacific to Ogden, arriving there
so minutes late. Between Ogden and
Palisade, Nev., the Southern Pacific
lost one hour and a half, but this WAS
made up by the time Rocklin was
reached at 5: SO p. IN. to-day, From
this place there was good running and
the trip was finished on schedule time
The fastest average time, AZ miles an
hour, was made over the Burlington
line. TEu other averages We're: New
York Central and Lake Shore fraction
| over 40 miles, Union Pacific, little bet
ter than 33 miles an hour, and Southern

AN ENERGETIC POLICY
Aguinaldo Goes to Iloilo to Fight
Americans.
WILL TREAT WITH SPAIN
Insurgents Want an Understanding
With the Americans as Allies-Terms
Upon Which They Will Give
Up Spanish Prisoners.

Paris, Jan. 5.-An official telegram re-
ceived by the Filipino junta here, dated
Manila, Jan. 4, says Aguinado has gone
to Iloilo at the request of the insurgents
there, to place himself at their head,
with a view of fighting the Americans
Senior Tumason, who has been ap-
pointed agent at Paris, London, is ex
pected to arrive here shortly. The mem
bers of the junta assert that the new
cabinet will bring forward the "most
energetic policy" Mabini, it appears,
claims recognition of the Philippines
independence and will not consent to
the release of the Spanish prisoners,
but, it is added, he is willing to come
to an understanding with the Ameri-
the Spanish military and civil officials
and others will only be made on the
following conditions:
/. The negotiations to be opened
formally between Spain and the nat
ional Filipino government, Spain NOM
mating a delegate to treat Herewith.
2. The exchange of prisoners and
Spain to repatriate, firstly. all the Fill
pinos held prisoners for having been di-
rectly or indirectly connected with the
insurection; secondly, all prisoners of
war condemned as traitors, revolters or
deserters or for having in any manner
seconded the Filipino movement during
the present century, surrender to be
made before the Filipinos release the
Spanish prisoners, and Spain to grant
amnesty to all Filipinos and Spaniards
accused of conspiracy in the insurrec-
ton.
3. Spain to defray all the expenses
of repatriation of the Filpinos and also
the cost of maintaining and repatriating
the Spanish prisoners held by the Fill
pinos, such payment being considered
war indemnity; the national Filipino
government consents to pay the expense
of repatriating the Filipinos captured in
formal action, although, it is added, las
matter of fact, the Filipinos are also
entitled to demand the payment there
of by Spain" Friars taken prisoners it
is asserted, will not be included in the
transactions, in view of the fact that
they acted as papal agents during the
war, but their surrender would be made
on the condition, firstly, that the apos-
tolic delegate will ask their liberty in
the name of the pope; secondly, that all
bulls and pontifical DEGREES granting
special privileges to the religious orders
be revoked; thirdly, that all rights of
the secular clergy be respected; fourth
ly, that no Friar hold any parish,
cathedral, episcopate or diocesan
preferments; filthy, that all
such preferments be held by native or
naturalized Filipino clergy. and sixthly,

diet have again been characterized by
scenes of turbulence, eliminating in ac-
tual physical violence. The Japanese gov
ernment forcibly dissolved a social meet
ing of the opponents of the land tax bill

formed for herself new bodyguard, con-
sistng of 10000 men.

ordered from a British shipbuilding firm
another battleship of $4,000 tons. 1t had
been the intention to build this and three
other battleships, previously ordered at
Yokohama
On the night train of the Sanyo railway
Captain Adachi japanese infantry officer
was murdered and robbed by two footpads
disguised as mechanics. Another outrage
occurred recently. The victim this time
was a female passenger who was robbed
of her money and then stripped by her
fellow passenger, who, it has been ascer-
tanned. was a we'll known robber. She
was then thrown out of the train, mar
rowly escaping fatal injury. AS a result
Of these outrages the night train will
hereafter be composed of inter-communi-
eating apartments, a policeman accom-
panying each train to guard passengers.

Madrid, Jan. 1.-The newspapers here
continue to charge the Americans with
III kinds of atrocities in the Philippines.

The Prevailing Epidemic of Imperialism
and Expansion.

and Expansion.
Princeton, N. j.. Jan. 5.-Ex- President
Cleveland, in reply to the question Of
d representative of the Associated
Press for an opinion on the issue of -ex-
pansion, said:
L do not care to repeat my views
concerning the prevailing epidemic of
Imperialism and territorial expansion.
Assuming, however, that my ideas on
the subject are antiquated and unsuit-
ed to these progressive days, it is a.
matter of surprise to me that the re-
fusal of certain natives of our new pos
sessions to acquiesce in the beneficence
of subjecting themselves to our con-
troll and management should in the
least disturb our expansionists. This
phase of the situation ought not to
have been unanticipated, nor the incl
dents naturally growing out of it over
looked The remedy is obvious and sim
pie. The misguided inhabitants of our
new territory who prefer something diff
ferent from the plan for their, control
which we proposed. or oppose our
designs in our behalf should be s1aught-s
cred. The killing of natives has been a
feature of expansion since expansion
began and our imperialistic enthusiasm
should not be checked by the prospec-
tive necessity of destroying a few
thousand or few hundred thousand
Filipinos. This should only be regarded
as one stage in transcendentally great
movement, mere incident in its pro-
sress. OF course. some unprepared souls
would then be lost before we had the
opportunity of Christianizing them, but
surely those of our clergymen who have
done so much to encourage expansion
could manage that difficulty

bundesrath has decided that it is oym-

at the present time there is insufficient
grounds for deciding the facts in ques-
ton, as no case of succession to the
throne or regency has arisen which is
incompatible with the claims of the
Prince of Schomberg-Lippe that this
resolution does not prejudice any later
decisions, and that all further motions,
