And Not Permit Americans to Secure
Supplies from the Interior of the
Island of LuzOn.
AGONCILLO STILL In CANADA
HAS EMPLOYED SPIES TO WATCH
AMERICAN DETECTIVES.
Flight of Juan Luna, Another Member
of the Washington Junto-En Route
to Join His Chief.

LONDON, Feb THE president of the
European Filipino Junto, in an interview
with a representative of the Associated
Presss to-day, said 1T is perfectly clear
that the unfortunate hostilities at Manila
were occasiOned by an attempt of the Ne
braskans to find a pretext to obtain control
of the Singalon water works. The Amer
leans for months have endeavored fruitless-
ly to induce the Filipinos to withdraw from
those works, as the latter fully recognized
their immense strategic Importance. By
the destruction of the villages between the
sea and the river bank the Americans Sc
cured a vast open space from which Ma
Mia might otherwise have been attacked
under cover. AS the Americans have cap
tured the water works, the Fiipinos will
now have to retire to the mountains of San
Mateo and Boso-Boso, which, as they are
only an hours distance, command the capi-
tai, and it will be impossible to dslodge
them from there. The whole Filipino
strength will now be devoted to the protec-
ton of the country outside of Manila, as
Aguinlado is aware that, even if he cap
tured the city, he could not hold it with
American war ships in the bay. The Amer
leans will also have to depend for their
food supply on shipments from abroad, as
the insurgents will effectualy cut off the
supplies from the Interior
The Filipino agent concluded with assert
ing that Agoncillo, Aguinaldo's agent in
America, and the European Junto had un-
ceasingly advised Aguinaldo not to COM
mence hostilities, but he added, the Fiji
pinos regarded the landing of American re-
Inducements as threat. and this, added to
the proclamation of General Otis refusing
political rights to the natives and inaugural
ing a military regime, had strained native
opinion to the breaking point.
The Daily Telegraph, commenting on the
fighting at Manila, says: "It is quite clear
that the Americans have given the Filipino
rebels a very sound thrasning at a COM
paratively small cost to themselves. They
have, for the time being, at all events,
placed Manila in safety until the reinforce
ments now en- route reach General Otis.
Although the majority of American soldiers
at Manila were volunteers, they appear to
have fought with as much discipline and
gallantry as their regular comrades could
have exhibited

FATAL CRASH OF TRAINS.
Two Railway Employees Killed and
Two Fatally Injured.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Feb. IA disas-
trous head-end collision between a passen-
ger train and an extra freight occurred

severely crushed. A number of passengers
were severely shaken up by the shock, but
none was seriously hurt,
The collision occurred about half way be-
tween Patterson switch and Pollock. Both
trains were running at high rate of speed
when the crash came, and it is miraculous
that any person aboard either escaped in
jury. Engineer Gregory and Fireman Nc
Coy jumped to save their lives. after
versing the engine and doing all they could
to save their train. They waited too long,
however, and were caught in the debris.
Engineer Watkins and Fireman Hoyste re-
NAMED at their posts and were crushed to
death in the wreck. 1t is believed that both
Watkins and Hoyste were asleep when the
collision occurred. The extra freight,
southbound. in charge Of Conductor Farrar
and Engineer Watkins had orders to meet
passenger train No. 222 at Patterson's spur.
The crew was evidently asleep. as no stop
was made at the meeting point and the
train was running at a rapid rate when
few miles beyond the switch it crashed
into the passenger train. Both engines were
badly wrecked The baggage car was COM
pletely teescoped by the express car. Bag
gageInan Baker was caught in the wreck
age and terribly wounded. The dead and
wounded were taken to Alexandria, where
they are being properly cared for A relief
train reached the scene at 10 o'clock and
physicians looked after the injuries of the
passengers. 1t was not until late this
afternoon that the track was cleared The
freight cars were badly wrecked being
piled high up and it will take several days
to clear away the debris.

The Dispatch From Germany.
1t appears that the move originated at
Berlin without suggestion from the Ger
man authorities here, although the Ger
man ambassador, Dr. Won Holleben exc
cuted the directions forwarded by cable
from Berlin. The dispatch arrived at the
German embassy late last evening and
the first thing to-day the ambassador went
TO the state department and laid the COM
munication before Secretary Hay. gen
eral conference ensued on the situation at
Manila.
Mr.. Hay was not prepared at the time
to give an immediate answer to the Ger
man request that German personal and
property interests should pass under the
care of the United States military and
naval forces.
After the ambassadors departure, Mr..
Hay conferred with the President, and 1t
was result of this that the President
announced his purpose of assuming the
protection of German interests.
In some diplomatic quarters it was
thought that Great Britain might not en-
tirely appreciate this move by which Ger
man warships are sent to China which is
the great field of action between the
Powers of Europe having possession in
the far East.

London, March 1.-The Rome correspond
ent of the Daily News says:
The sudden changes in the weather
brought on the Pope's bowel complaint,
from which he has never been entirely free
since last summer when It was regarded as
alarming. This Is aggravated by pain in
the left side near the spleen.
Intrigues have already begun with re-
gard TO a possible eoaclave, and the names
of candidates ale Ia circulation. The indi-
cations are that the concave, should il be
called soon, would he divided distinctly
into two factions, The first is the simply
religious faction, supporting Padre Gotti,
a barefoot CarmelHe monk from Genoa,
distinguished merely for learning and
p.ety, who would really have good chance
of success.
The second faction which favors an ex-
tension of the political power of the Pope
has three candidates, Cardinal Bishop Lui-
gi Oreglia di Santo Stefano, dean of the
Sacred College, and Camorlengo, of the
Holy Roman Catholic Church; Cardinal
Bishop Serafino Vannutelfy bishop of
Frascatl and prsfect Of the Congregation
of Bishops aud regulars, and CARDINAL
Priest Marianao RampolIa del Tindaro,

Germany Held ia blame for sItua-
tiOn in Samoa.

London. March 1.-The Daily Graphic
publishes this morning, from a Samoan
correspondent story of recent events
there, attributing the whole trouble to the
attempts of Germany TO upset the Berlin
treaty and to secure supremacy In the
Islands. The correspondent says:
"The Germans, long jealous OF growing
British influence seized the opportunity to
break faith. Malietoas S party would un-
doubtedly have been victorious II supplied
with arms and ammunition as the Ger
mans supplied Mataafa, but the British,
loyal TO the treaty refused to supply
either party"
The correspondent then proceeds to de-
scribe what he calls the German plot to
induce Mataafas force of 5000 men to
take the islands by storm" He says on
this point:
The Germans tried their utmost to
make the natives attack the British con-
sulate end the mission house where The
consul was giving refuge TO British sub
iects. II was only respect for the British
flag that held the natives back. The Ger
mans told the natives to kill all the Eng
lish missionaries and TO sweep the pigs of
English into the sea- The lootlng was
terrible. Twenty villages were utterly
wrecked the houses destroyed and the
villages left destitute.
