severe test splendidly. and at the time

GEN. OTIS WILL
 REPEL ATTACK
Authorized to Defend Himself if Becomes Necessary. OUTCOME OF THE CONFLICT IsNot to Be Feared By the United States if the Natives Are so Foolish as
 to Assault the Ameri-
 can Position.

Washington, January A.-While the in struct.ons to General Otis have been to avoid any hostile clash with the natives, so far as that plan is consistent with the maintenance of his positin, 1t Is realized here that it is within the power of any ex- cited or intoxicated person to precipitate a battle between the two opposing forces.
 For, it must be understood that there is nothing in General Otis instructions to pre- vent him from most vigorously defending himself and the interests confided to his ground that the officials here feel no doubt as to the outcome of a hostile collision be- tween the American and insurgent forces under Aguinaldo particularly as General Otis would have the enormous advantage of the full cooperation of the American fleet under Dewey.
 But it is particularly desirable that even a battle ending in victory be avoided just now, for the president has by no means surrendered his conviction that the mis- guided Filipinos can be brought to an un- derstanding of the real objects of the United States and peacefully accept the conditions sought to be imposed.

THEY ARE DISILLU5l0NED
Claimed That Dewey and Pratt Promised
 Absolute Independence.
AGUINaLOO RECRUITING FORCES
Country Being Levied on For Supplies The Troops Are Living in Luxury Madrid Gloats Over Americas
 Discontinue.

Manila, January 20, Via Hong Kong, Jan uary A.-The Independencia today issued supplement containing dispatch purport- ing to come from Maolos, the seat of the rebel government. It comments upon the appointment of the commission and says:
 "The Filipinos naturally suspect this is new attempt to humbug Dewey and Spencer Pratt promised us independence if the Filipino republic was stable. The Filipinos are disillusioned. They believe the commission is a ruse to gain time until they have accumulated formidable forces, when America, abusing her strength, will begin war to ratify her sovereignty"
 The Independencia then adds that all the commissioners are partisans of colonial ex- pansion and incidentally asserts that the archbishop also favors annexation with the sole object of gaining the sympathies of the winning side, immaterial which is in the interests of the religious corporations"
 The Filipinos of Catalonia and Gegagalin, mistaking salutes exchanged between Brit ish and German warships on January IS, moved 5000 men to the front in order of battle covering the adjacent country but the did not attack the American lines.
 Aguinatdo Recognized
 Reports from the interior indicate that
 
 Aguinaldo's authority is now generally recognized Every available male is being recruited and arms depots are being estab- lished at San Bardino, Union, Trinidad and other large towns. The surrounding coun- try is being levied on for supplies, and the Filipino troops are living on the fat of the land. while the native villagers are com pelled to subsist on rice
 There is some friction between the Filipino civil and military authorities but they. are united on the question of inde- pendence.
 It Is estimated that there are fully s0ooo Fiipinos under arms. and it is said that there are nearly fifty guns at Malolos, some of them being recently acquired.
 The Filipino authorities are convinced, they say. that the Americans will be unable to work effectively outside of Manila in the event of hostilities, hence they feel confi- dent of the future.
 Many of the Filipino officers complain of alleged discourteous treatment upon the part of Americans at Manila

STEWART AGAIN
 ELECTED SENATOR
The Name of NeWlands Was Not
 Presented.
PEOPLES VICTORY REVERSED
The Nevada Congressman Sees in the Success of the Venerable Senator the Cloven Hoof of the South
 ern Pacific.

Carson, New, January A-The senate met today and voted for United States senator. Stewart received votes, Cleveland and Williams 2.
 In the assembly Stewart received 15, Williams s, Cleveland 8, Mason and Wood burn 1.
 The surprise of the day was the withdraw al of Newands from the fight. Congress- man Newlands made the following state ment tonight:
 ''The issue in the Legislative contest of the last campaign was clearly Stewart and anti-Stewart. The anti-Stewart forces won. They were composed of Independents and anti-Stewart silver party men. To the dem- ocrats and republicans at the election it was suggested that union of the anti Stewart forces could more easily be effected in favor of my candidacy than that of any other man. l offered myself as candi- date, but always stated that I would with draw in favor of any capable bimetallist upon whom the anti-Stewart forces could more easily combine.
 Owing to a divergence of views as to the method of union, the time at which 1t should be effected, and the candidate the task of uniting the anti-Stewart forces was most difficult, and while we were engaged in efforts to unite these forces Stewart suc- ceeded in securing sufficient votes to obtain a majority. My name, therefore, was not presented to the legislature.
 ''The victory gained by the people at the polls has been reversed in the legislature, and the Southern Pacific is victorious"

RACIAL TROUBLES.
Negroes Whipped By Whitecappers in
 Tennessee.

Greenville, Tenn, January A.-Ever since the brutal assault of Bob Posey by a negro at Commerce, there has been a feeling of enmity growing in the town against the negro inhabitants.
 Yesterday Wash Holland came here from Commerce and said that he had been taken out and whipped Saturday night and beaten over the head with pistols. He recognized some of the whitecappers as leading young men of the town, but dares not tell who they are, as they threatened him with death if he told, and he believes they would kill him should he do so. Three other negroes were whipped at the same time.
 The negroes were very much excited yes- terday, and it is reported that nearly hundred have left the place. The county officers are Investigating the matter, and complaints will probably be filed at once against whitecaps generally. Law abiding citizens deprecate these acts.

AMERICAS MISTAKE.
Should Not Have Parleyed With the
 Philippine Natives.

London, January 24.-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Standard says:
 "A distinguished general who was for mery governor of the Philippines has been dilating in the course of an interview upon the difficulty the Americans must experi- ence there. He admitted that Spain would have required an army of 100000 men and the expenditure of $2OO 100000 to reconquer the Philippines, but the American command CTS, he insisted, had committed an ire parable mistake from the beginning in hu- moring and parleying with the rebels, thus seriously damaging the prestige of the whites by teaching the natives that they could dispute and despise supremacy which had never heretofore been chal- lenged."

EAGAN COURTMARTIAL.
Those Who Will Hear the Charges Gath
 ering in Washington

Washintgon, January A.-General Merritt and most of the members of the courtmar- tial which will hear the charges against General Eagan are in the city.
 The court meets at the Ebbitt house to- morrow morning and it is not expected that more than two or three days will be taken to complete it's work. General Eagan will plead not guilty in a general way then he will probably enter the plea of justifica- ton.
 This act is customary in cases of this character but it rests with the court alone whether or not the plea will be allowed It is not likely that it will be denied Gen eral Eagan.
