BECOMING CHAOTIC
Filipino Situation Is Getting to Be
More and More Muddled Pend
ing Treaty Ratification.
NATIVES ARE LOUD MOUTHED
They Are Ready to Burn Iloilo As Soon As
the American Fleet Opens Fire-Agon-
clio Reported Ordered from
Washington.

London, Jan. 9.-The Filipino commit
tees.at Paris, Madrid and London tele-
graphed Saturday to President McKin-
ley from Paris a dispatch which read
We protest against the Decentralization
of American troops at Iloilo." -
The London Telegram says: 1.-THE
treaty of peace is still unratified so the
American claim of sovereignty Is pre-
mature. The Filipinos wish for Ameri-
can friendship, but abhor militarism
and deceit" The representative of the
Associated Press learns that the Fill
pino junta at Paris has received a tele-
gram from the Filipino agents at Hong
Kong, dated Saturday, saying: "a fight
with the Americans is unavoidable. We
are not the aggressors.' A telegram
from an English house in Manila today
says the situation is strained and there
is much anxiety. The dispatch also
contains news from Iloilo, the substance
of which was that the American troops
had not yet been landed The Filipino
junta discredits the statement in the
Globe this afternoon that the United
States government has ordered Agon-
cillo the representative of Aguinaldo, to
leave Washington.
AGUINALDO'S LITTLE BLUFF.
Manila, Jan. 9.-The insurgents at Ilo-
lilo have saturated the buildings with
kerosene and will fire the city if bonn
barded.
STAYING OFF THE INEVITABLE.
Washington, Jan. 9-General Otis is
framing plan Of campaign which will
result in extensiol, of his control over
Panay island, at least, without actual
hostilities; or, If it must come to war
ure of American troops. Probably the
first step in the campaign has been TAX
en- by this time in establishing camp
on the plains Of Guiamaras, lying only
a few miles from Iloilo and easily ac-
cessible to warships. This will be made
the base of operations if hostilities be-
come unavoidable.
The government however, has not
abandoned hope that peaceful solution
can be reached. Secretary Alger says
today that no alarming news has come
from General Otis. He did not believe
a shot had been or would he fired. He
is confident General Miller will be able
to obtain control of Iloilo without blood
shed. Persuasion will be used before
powder. That will be the last resort.
The president views the situation in
hopeful manner.

GOVERNOR BRADLEY IN WASHINGTON.
He u Urging Reforms and Improvements
Much Needed in Alaska Great Short
ara in Public Funds,


Washington, Jan. 9.-Governor Brad
ley, of Alaska, has arrived here to urge
territorial matters. He is anxious for
enactment OF the Carter bill, making
three judicial districts in Alaska. He
says there should be greater appropria-
tions also for administrative purposes,
pointing out that the marshal is una
bic to make arrests on any Of the nu-
merous islands for lack Of transporta-
tion funds or facilities, and the gov
ernor has not funds for going about the
territory. He also wants school appro-
priations raised to 100000. and says
many people who rushed into the Klon-
dixie region are coming out largely be-
cause Of the high taxation.

Letters From The People.

Mr.. Editor:
In your last issue read an article il
regards to the Town Council, bot IL TIT
failure of the council to perperly keel
the town is due to lack of money, l be-
lieve the enactiOn Of vagrant ordi
nance would have the desired effect, a:
we have in this town any number of ne
gro loafers too lazy to strik a lick Of
work, and these worthless negroes are
being fed by the white families of st
MartinviIle through their female cooks
who are notonly satisfied with what Il
given them, but rob the kitchen and
pantry almost every day Of the week.
It is within the power Of the Town
Council to pass vsgrant law, and II
such was enacted and all the lazy ne
groes were made to work upon ouI
streets or quit town. It would prove
great relief for the town. and also q
great relief for the white families who
are the feeders of large class Of lazy
worthless negroes.
1t is a daily occurrence to see large
crowds of negro loafers to congregate al
the street corners. and try to employ
them for any kind Of work. and at any
price, and you will soon discover hosl
worthless they are.
Councilmen, I would suggest that you
take these suggestion under considers
ton and enact the vagrant ordinance al
your earlist convenience, in this manner
you will help our streets and save 0uI
pantry. A BUSINESS MAN.

SATURDAY, August 5. 1899
School Mass Meeting.

The time has arrived for prompt
and immediate action, we know
what the other parishes in the con-
test propose to do. and we have
decided to equal if not surpass them
and capture the Industrial Insti-
tute.
Hand bills were distributed
Thursday morning, calling a mass
meeting at seven o'clock in the
evening to discuss important
school business. At the hour spe-
CITED the Greig Cornet band play
ed some of its nice selections, and
soon after quite large crowd sur
rounded the stand on the church
green, including many ladies.
Mr.. D. G. Liable, the active
chairman of the Campaign Com
mittee called the meeting to order,
after which DR.. A. C. Durio was
elected President of the meeting.
Mayor 7. j. Liable was the ora
tor of the occasion, and in a clear
and distinct manner, pointed out
the necessity of immediate and
united action in order to secure the
Industrial school that will do so
much to develop the intellect and
industry of our children. The
plan adopted by the people of st.
Martinville is to vote a five mills
tax for twenty years, which will
make a sum of $35, 900 and q COM
mittee of nine was selected to Sc
cure the necessary signatures to
to be submitted to the council
the coming week to order the
election.
The tax which is proposed in
the parish of st. Martin, is three
mills for two years, and two mills
for eight years, the tax in st. Mar
tinville will be five mills for twen-
ty years. The parish tax will
make $31 .O0O and the tax of 81
Martinville $4,000 making the
amount we propose to offer for
the school, about $4,000.
We are certain that both taxes,
in the parish and in the town will
be voted, and our chances of get
ting the school are as bright as
those of any of the other contest
ing parishes.
