GENERAL WOOD ARRIVES.

Military Governor of Santiago at New
York-Has Things in Good Shape.
New YORK, Jan. 1.-THE United
States transport Mississippi. which
sailed from Santiago on the even
ing of Jan. has arrived. On board the
transport were General Leonard Wood
military governor of Santiago, and Lieu
tenant Hanna, aide-de-camp; DR.. Cas-
tillo, brother of the Cuban General
Castillo, and Colonel Gibson, who super.
intended the distribution of provisions
to the starving Cubans.
General Wood, who was interviewed
at quarantine regarding the protest OF
the people of Santiago over the dis.
posal of the funds Ct that province
said he sdid not care to talk on that
matter before he visited Washington
There was some dissatisfaction, but
nothing to amount to anything. When
he left Santiago everything was in
splendid shape, schools were being or
ganized and ready to receive scholars
and nearly 1000 miles of roads had been
constructed in the province. The Gus.
toms receipts were the largest ever col.
lected and exceeded the amount col
lected and turned into the Spanish
treasury. Funds were available fol
meeting the expenses of the administra.
ton of the province, and the only ex.
pense to the United States wenld be the
cost Of maintaining her army. The best
of feeling prvailed and the general con.
dition of things was all that could be
desired. General Wood appeared to be
in excellent health.

CLIMAX AT HAND.

Some Definite Action in the Philippine
Crisis Expected immediately.
MANILA, Jan. 1.-THE situation is
rapidly approaching climax and it is
just possible that another day will see a
peaceful solution. Meanwhile all sorts
of alarmist rumors are in circulation.
The United States authorities are taking
every precaution. The troops in quar-
tiers are under ARMS and the Califor-
mans have disembarked from the trans
ports.
The natives, it is reported, have been
ordered not to work for the Americans
and the employees in the commissary de-
partment have gone on strike. Many
natives are leaving the city. Major
General Otis, however, has the whole
situation thoroughly in hand.
Aguinaldo Again Proclaims.
A second proclamation by Aguinaldo,
bearing the same date as the one that
Immediately followed the one issued by
General Otis, has appeared eon the
streets, but it is alleged to have been
recalled. Its terms are much more We
hement than those used in the first
proclamation. Aguinaldo threatens to
drive the Americans from the islands,
calls the Deityto witness that their
blood will be on their own heads if it is
shed and details at greater length the
promises he claims were made by the
Americans as to the part of the in
surgents in the campaign. It is be-
lieved that this second proclamation is
the original draft which was not
adopted by the Filipino congress at

of the Hardest Of All to
Solve.
General Wood, Governor Of San.
tiagO, Arrives at New
York.

New YORK, Jan. 1l.-Robert P. Por-
tsr, President McKinley's special COM
missioner to Cuba and Porto Rico spoke
at Cooper Union on Practical Problems
that confront us in Cuba" The meet
ing was held under the auspices of the
Peoples Institute and Charles Sprague
Smith, Director Of the Institute, intro
duced Mr.. Porter, who said that Cuba
has now, under the occupation Of the
United States, everything she ever
fought for. industrial and commercial
freedom. The United States wantsnot
foot of her soil without paying hard
cash and will expend every penny of
Cuban revenues on Cuba.
He said the political future of Cuba is
difficult problem to dispose of, and
thought it advisable for the present to
let matters stand as they are. He said
the intelligent Cubans favor annexation
but it seemed to be question whether
this country could constitutionally hold
islands as colonies. He is firmly con-
WINGED that the Cubans can govern
themselves, and that they will make
application for admission to the Union
as state. From military and strate-
gical points of view, he said it would be
insanity to let Cuba go, and the ques-
ton, therefore, is in what state shall it
be held.
Mr.. Porter, in answer to questions,
said the labor problem is the most puz-
cling one in Cuba. He could not say
what the solution is to be. He said the
island has capacity of 100000 tons OF
sugar annually, but because of lack of
labor, the planters can produce but
100000 tons annually. He said that he
thought large capitalists will find profit.
able investment in the islands, but he
would not advise clerks or men of small
means to go there.
He said the future of the island de-
pended altogether upon the upbuilding
of the three great industries, sugar
tobacco and iron ore. He prophesied ar
era of peace and prosperity for both

IN UNIVERSAL SORROW
General Lawton Was Popular
With ALL Ranks.
HAD RESPECT OF NATIVES
The Body Will Be Brought to the United
States-Successtul Execution of the
Plan or Campaign Due to His
Brilliant Leadership.

Manila, Dec. 20, s p. m.-Major Gem
eral Lawton's body was brought from
San Mateo to Manila this afternoon,
his staff and squadron of cavalry
acting as escort. 1t was found neces-
sary to bridge the river
The funeral will take place from his
late residence here, a mansion former
ly occupied by Spanish general. The
body has been placed temporarily in
vault in Ell Paco cemetery, where many
of the American soldiers have been in
tered, and guard of honor will be
maintained. When Mrs. Lawton and
her four children shall have completed
their arrangements for returning to
the United States the remains will be
taken on a transport, with an escort
of officers for final interment, as is
thought probable here, in Arlington
cemetery.
General Lawtons death has caused
universal sorrow in Manila. No Amer
ican officer had greater popularity
among all ranks, and in his dealings
with the natives he commanded their
respect and confidence to q remarkable
degree. The mayors whom he installed
in the neishboring towns are arrang-
ing to attend the funeral in a body.
To his executive ability and per-
sonal Leadership is chiefly due the
brilliant execution of the plan of cam
patsn in North Luzon which has scat
tered the insurg ants from San Isidro
to the Gulf Of Lingayen. That section
of the island, which had to be tra-
versed during the very worst season
of the year, presented difficulties con-
sidered by all acquainted with it to be

Lawton thoroughly covered the pro-
gramme assigned him.
When he reached Taug and found
that the other division had not arrived
he went through Dagupan on his own
responsibility, Although he imposed
great hardships upon his men, he had
invariably shared their lot cheerfully.
Thirteen Americans, including three
officers, We're wounded in the engage
ment at San Mate where General
Lawton was Killed ], 2pptain Brecsiu-
ridges wound is not &onsidered dan
gerous, although the bullet penetrated
his arm and side
1t is estimated that the insurgents
numbered 500 and that half of them
were armed with rifles. The Ameri-
cans numbered 1900, but the command
had been much depleted by sickness.
The wagon train found the roads i'm
passable and was obliged to return.
The insurgents retreated to the north
east, leaving six dead. They have other
forces near Taytay. This region, al
though close to Manila, has proved the
most difficult from which to dislodge
the enemy 1t is now reported that the
intend to concentrate at
Santa Cruz, Laguna province and N
the district east of Laguna de Bay.
The American secret service reports
that Aguinaldo has Joined the Mar
quina force.
