TO DECLARE WAR AGAINST THE
UNITED STATES.
Filipino Republic Proclaimed-Filipino
Captain Shot by an American Sentry
Great Excitement in Cavite.

MANILA, January 81, via Hongkong,
January 26-The Republica, the Off
cial organ of the Filipinos, announces
that the congress at Malolos has just
adopted the Philippine constitution.
and passed a vote of confidence in
clare war on the Americans whenever
he may deem it advisable.
At a mass meeting of women at Ca
vite yesterday, the paper adds, it was
en- Enthusiastically resolved to petition
Aguinaldo for permission to take the
mems places in defence of independ-
ence and to bear arms, if necessary.
Paterno has asked for and, it appears
has been granted, the privilege Of
taking a prominent place in the line
of battle against the Americans.
An American sentry yesterday even
ing killed q captain of Filipino artil
lery, at the Tonto outpost. AS result
the native press is intensely excited,
and denOunces it as "COWardly assas-
snaton.'
On Saturday evening, January 21st,
five Filipinos determined to have re-
venge for their captains death, and
attempted to enter our lines. An Anne
rican sentry killed out of them, who
was armed with a revolver, and after
a further exchange of shots, the others
were arrested. The incident has in
tenSitied the excitement here.
The Ambni cabinet insisted upon the
liberation of the Spanish prisoners in
commemoration of the proclamation of
the Filipino republic and also donated
money to the native clergy. A decree
to that effect was signed. The Spanish
clergy, however, remain prisoners.
An elaborate program has been ar
ranged for the formal ratification of
the constitution today.
Nothing was accomplished at the
conference here yesterday, and it is
rumored that the Filipinos at their
next meeting will give the Americans
eight days in which to accede to their
demands for recognition. The rumor
is discredited.

NORTH HILO SECTIONS TO BE
COMPLETED.
Block of Land in Kohala will be OPP
ened to Settlement-Wharf Exten-
sion at Kahului.

At the cabinet session this morning
it was decided to at once extend or to
finish out the North Hilo road so as
to open up the whole of it for travel.
In order to understand this it may be
remembered that parts of this road
remain unfinished, though most of the
sections are in good condition.
The public lands agent requested per-
mission to open up for settlement a
large tract of land situated in the dis
trict of Kohala, Hawaii. The scheme
was approved. The tract to be opened
contains several hundred acres of val
liable land. 1t will be leased in the
usual way.
The Kahului wharf matter was next
discussed. 1t was considered wise to
extend the landing to 450 feet in length
but some of the data concerning it are
required before the work may be au-
thOrized.
Complaints published in a city paper
from correspondents to the leasing of
the lands of Wahiawa to a California
hui were discussed. 1t was the con-
sensus of opinion in the cabinet that
the WrIIerS are new in the country.
The lands of Wahiawa have never been
considered desirable. Moreover, the
scheme of encouraging colonies was
first adopted by the people as a sort of
campaign cry and has since been TAX
en- up and endorsed by the Legislature
1t was the policy to encourage settle
mentS of this sort, on large scale, of
people who knew each other and who
would work harmoniously together.
Just before adjournment Lord
Charles Beresford, accompanied by
Commissioner Kenny arrived, and was
received by the president and his min
isters in the executive chamber.

THE SPANISH PRISONERS
MADRID GOVERNMENT PRESSES
FOR RELEASE.
Five Hundred Friars Employed by Fill
ipinos in Menial Offices-Women and
Children in Danger.

NEW YORK, January ga dispatch
to the Herald from Washington says:
Through the French embassy here
Spain has again urged the United
States to procure the release of Span
ish prisoners held by the Philippine
insurgents.
Information officially received by the
Madrid government from the Philip
pines shows that the lives of Spanish
women and children, as well as of men,
are in danger, and that the prisoners
are not receiving proper treatment.
The Spanish government called atten-
ton to that provision of the treaty re-
quiring this government to use It's
good offices to procure the release of
the prisoners aud urged the United
States to do everything possible to do
so.
Secretary Hay replied that General
Otis had been instructed to give inn
mediate attention to the matter but
| that this government has made no
promises to obtain the release of the
prisoners only by force.
Information has also been received
here showing that 500 friars, held as
prisoners, are compelled by the Fill
pinos to undergo all sorts of menial
and hard labor, such as attending to
the horses of the Filipino officers, in
paving the streets of towns, and so
forth. d.

ladelphia at Apia, to investigate the
entire Samoan situation and to report

mands made on the German govern

POSTAL UNION RULE.
Reason for Change of Color of New
Postage Stamps.

1t is announced from the postofIlce
that the change in color of the new
two cent stamps was made by the Pos
tai Union, which decreed that after
January l, 1899, all stamps of that de-
nomination should be red. This, it ap-
pears, was not definitely understood
before the change was actually made.
The appearance of the new stamp
has caused the rush for the old issue
that might have been expected. Eve
ry person with old letters is looking up
the scarce stamps upon them. A re-
port has been circulated that some of
the country offices have a few of the
old stamps left. Orders for them VIII
fly thick and fast in the course of the
next few days.
There is one lady in town who has a
big collection of the two cents brown
cancelled, She has been saving them
for a year. In several places cards
bearing the stamp were hung out last
evening. Value has not been put on
the stamps yet but no one will sell at
anything like face figures.
