PROCLAIMS A REPUBLIC.
AguinnIdo Declares That n Govern
ment Has Been Established
in the Philippines.

Washington, Jan. "a. - The govern
ment was notified late Monday night
that Aguinaldo has taken a decisive
step and publicly proclaimed the re-
public of the Philippines. The cere-
mony took place at Malolos Monday,
and was witnessed by the members of
his cabinet. This news comes from
Manila, where the tidings of Aguinal-
dos proceedings were received with
public demonstrations of mild sort.
All is not plain sailing for the insur-
gents, as it is said the rival authorities
at Cebu are fighting. The trouble has
not yet reached an acute state, but the
safety of the town and surrounding
country is in danger. The northern
provinces have recently given indica-
tions that they are not in accord with
Aguinaldo, and should Mondays rash
step on his part lead to hostilities with
the Americans he may have reyolu-
ton as well as war of conquest on his
hands. Another serious feature, ac-
cording to the dispatches, is that the
interior of Luzon is in ferment. Ma
tive officers have been murdered and
no effort made to punish the criminals.
Madrid, Jan. 24-The premier, Senior
Sagasta, declares that Aguinaldo has
made the liberation of the Spanish pris-
oners in the Philippine islands condi-
tional upon SPANS recognizing the
Philippine republic and allying herself
thereto. Aguinaldo, it is added, has
similarly demanded the vatican's rec
ognition of the Philippine republic.

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.

Athens, Jan. 23.-Entire towns were
destroyed and many lives are believed
to have been lost by a series OF terri
BILE earthquakes that shocked the Pelo-
ponnessus, or peninsula of lower
Greece, Sunday. The center of the agi-
tation has been the western coast, in
the vicinity of the Gulf of Arcadia The
loss of life and property cannot yet be
estimated, nor is there any feeling OF
assurance that the earthquakes that
have lasted since early morning are
at an end. Many thousands of men,
women and children who fed from
their homes in terror are camping on
the open hills, hungry and miserable.
A frightful shock early Sunday morn
ing drove people from their houses and
made public buildings and churches tot
ter. Following at irregular intervals
came shock after shock of varied Sc

Kyparissia, town of 1900 popula-
ton and a place of great antiquity, is
completely destroyed. So is Philiatra,

as have Andrusa, Kutiphari, Gargaliani,
Tavia and numerous others. 1t is re-
ported in Staso and several other towns

weekly review of trade says:
"A new year rarely opens brilliantly.
Too many traders have to wait for the de-
mand which in winter comes slowly The
industries resist fairly well the tendency
to unlimited expansion which some have to
meet. Speculation in products is gaining
but little, while In stocks an enormous vol
ume of business results In continually

through clearing houses is extraordinary
i2.7 per cent. larger than last year. 96.9 per
cent. larger than in 1927. and SIS per

lions outside of New York showing a gain
over 1892 of 44.6 per cent Speculation at
New York therefore cannot be the main
cause of gain. Difficulties between holders
Of material and manufacturers continue to
hinder In some Industries, and in some
may prove seriously embarrassing, but the

NEW NAVAL STATION.
| Government Takes Possession of Mis-
sion Rock In the hay of snn
| Francisco.

Washington, Jan. 20.-The president
has issued an executive order setting
apart what is known as Mission rock,
in San Francisco bay, as naval reser-
walton. The purpose is to use it as a
coaling station, and the departments
experts report that it will be the best
station that can be had in San Fran
cisco bay. Lying just opposite the
Union iron works, in very deep water,
this little island is seven miles nearer
the entrance to the bay than is Mare
island, and will save great deal of
time and some risk to the largest naval
vessels in taking on coal. The navy
department sent out instructions to
the commandant of Mare island to take
possession of the Rock in the name of
the United States. 1t is claimed by
private parties under grant from the
state of California, but the govern
ment insists that its title is good. The
place is valued at quarter of a million
dollars.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Germany has
Informed the United States and Great
Britain that if her consul in Samoa
acted in the manner described by the
American and British representatives
he acted without authority and she will
disavow his action, but that she can do
nothing until full report has been re-
ceived. Germany does not mean it to be
understood that she disavows in adj
vance of knowledge of all the facts the
course pursued by her consul. She may
uphold him. And, furthermore, she may
call upon the United States for an ex-
PLANTATION of the decision of Chief JUS
tice Chambers, and in any event will
urge its revision. It is admitted in all
Quarters that blunder has been made.
If the German consul is responsible his
government will remove him, but if Mr..
Chambers decision was not proper then
a demand will be made by the German
government for his relief.
