A DEFIANT FILIPINO.
Aguinaldo's Berlin Representative
on the Controversy.
ooULDKEEP UP GUERRILLA WAR

Meantime the London Newspapers
Continue to Give Advice as to the
Duty of Our Government in Dealing
With the Filipinos.
London, jan 1.-THE Berlin cor1e-
spondent of The Standard says that
Professional Blumentritt, Aguinaldo' 5
representative there, writes to The
Tageblatt as follows:
1.-THE Americans, being addicted to
drink, are less able to fight in the
tropics than the sober Spaniards. A
guerrilla war could be kept up for six
or eight years, during which the in
evitable conflict between the powers
in eastern Asia would afford the Fill
pinos chance.
''All the Jesuits and Benedictines are
at liberty; only the other orders have
been kept prisoners. The former are
now pro-American, because American
rule offers the only hope of retrieving
their fortunes. III treatment of pris-
oners is severely punished, while nuns
are not molested most Of them being
natives. The Americans imagine they
can buy the insurgent army for 49,
100000, but the Filipinos anticipate
that an American party inspired by
Washington spirit will yet come into
power and grant them independence. =
The Daily Mail publishes the follow
ing dispatch from Hong Kong: "The
Americans who are arriving here from
Manila complain bitterly of the mac
ton of Major General Otis, particular
ly in leaving the Manila water supply
at the mercy of the rebels. They say
a collision between the Americans and
the insurgents is inevitable Aguin-
aldo's dispatches 20 the Filipino junta
here have been stopped
Most of the morning papers comment
today upon the situation in the Phil
ippines, drawing theinference that Sen
ator Foraker's remarks in the senate
chamber yesterday were made by him
as the spokesman of the president and
expressing disappointment and their
disapproval of a possible relinquish-
ment of the Philippines by the United
States
The Times says: Senator Foraker
appears to leave the subject in an I'M
pleasantly ambiguous state. It is in
the Philippines that the new system Of
government will be brought to a test
and no resolutions passed in the senate
can solve the problem. The claims Of
the insurgents to national recognition
can hardly hold water, but there is nc
power in the world that would be sc
much embarrassed by the raising of {
question of this sort as the United
States. To announce that the occupa-
ton of the Philippines is only temper.
airy would be scarcely prudent"
The Standard says: at is a little
startling to find the liberators of Cubs
engaged in suppressing youthful re.
public which claims the sacred right Of
self government. Yet to withdraw
would create another Cuba off the coas
of Asia, for which naval nations would

New York, Jan. 1.-THE Press says:
"Plans have been made to buy the
whole of this years crop of Havana
tobacco. A syndicate of 81 bankers has
been formed for the purpose. It's repre-
sentative will start for Cuba today
The immediate scheme is to control the

Senate Cannot Have the Instructions.
Washington, Jan. 12.-The president
has decided it to be incompatible with
public interest to comply with the re-
quest contained in the Hoar resolution
to supply the senate with the instruc-
lions given the American peace COM
missioners. If any reasons are given
for the declination the leading one
will be the fact that, as the treaty is
subject to action in Spain even after
ratification by the senate, it's con-
summation might be jeopardized by
the publication at this stage of the
confidential instructions.

On another page is an account of con-
fict one of our citizens had with mad
dog at an early hour yesterday morning.
How fortunate it is that this brute made
its attack on brave, stalwart man, and
not on some citizen less able to defend
himself, or some school child even more
helpless Happily science has reduced the
horrors of hydrophobia to the minimum
and in this case are no doubt entirely
eliminated, because Mr.. Watson was
warmly clad and the beasts fangs were
cleaned by the clothing before they
pierced the flesh. That hs is promptly to
have the benefit of scientific treatment, is
due to the fact that President Cloud had
the means and the disposition to advance
them; his reimbursement is only ques-
ton of public or private action.
But where was this dog all night and up
to the time he attacked Mr.. Watson How
many of the thousands or so dogs in
Woodbury. did he bite between the time
he became mad and the time be was
killed ?
Nobody can answer these questions be.
cause of absence of information. But some
body can reduce the danger from mad
dogs in Woodbury. to the lowest point
Theirs is ample law, all that is required il
a disposition by Council TO have it en-.
forced. We believe such authority will
not longer be withheld, and that our citi.
zens will have all the protection from mad
dogs that the law gives.

The outlook now is that we will have

We will fight the former In order TO make

them from becoming so. This is the pro-
