OTIS MUST PROTECT HIMSELF
AS to the change in conditions wrought by
the ratification of the treaty to-day, there
is a variance of views, and Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin and Second Assistant
Secretary Adee, of the State De-
partment were giving the matter
attention to-day, with the idea of being
able to send full instructions for his future
guidance to General Otis Immediately. The
extreme view on one side is that until the
Spanish government ratifies the treaty it is
not in legal effect. According to that view,
therefore, the United States government is
estopped from proceeding beyond their lines
at Manila for the time. BY the other ex-
treme view the United States government
is free to do just as it pleases in the entire
group of islands and will, therefore pro-
ceed at once to complete the military oc-
cupancy of the islands. Perhaps there is
justification for this last view in the fact
that the Fiipinos were Spanish subjects
nominally when they broke the terms of the
protocol and thereby release the United
States from it's Observance. The medium
view, and that which is likely to be fol-
lowed, is that General Otis is justified in
doing anything that is necessary to protect
his army and all American and foreign in
terests in Manila. even though this obliged
him to assume the offensive and to go out
side of the old lines in pursuit of the in
surgents, who may be seeking to reorganize
and recoup from their late defeat with
intention of attacking again or even threat
ening the Americans
Secretary Long said this evening that no
additional orders had been sent to Admiral
Dewey and he did not anticipate that any
would be necessary just now. He had been
acting on the theory the President desired
to follow the most liberal policy in dealing
with the Filipinos and there was no reason
now 10 change the policy. The Solace
started at D. m. with a supply of ammu-
milton and other needed stores for Dewey's
fleet via the Suez canal but it it not the
intention to send further naval reinforce
ments.
1t was learned. upon inquiry at the War
Department, that all the American troops
at Manila have an abundant supply of
smokeless powder. The regulars have the
Krag- -Jorgenson rifle and about 5000 of
the same weapons are in the hands of the
volunteers. 1t is no secret now that the
authorities here were preparing to arrest
AgoEcillo just as he fled, but probably they
are not sorry that he got off safely and thus
relieve them from performing a disagree
able task. The conduct of the remaining
members of the Philippine junto is still under
close watch, and while the treatment
to be accorded them has not been determ-
fned it is recognized that they are in a
precarious position legally and can secure
immunity only by the exercise of the great
est discretion.

A Spanish Minister Predicts Serious
Trouble for Amerieans.


MADRID, Feb 6.--The newspapers here
to-day publish an interview with a minister
who declared that the Philippines are 60
ing to cost the Americans dear. "as the
Filipinos are not so susceptible to bribes as
the Cubans" The minister is quoted as
adding: THE Americans will repulse any
attack on Manila. but such victory will be
Of no advantage to the United States. for
the insurgents, embittered by defeat, will be
less disposed TO make an arr ngement and
the struggle will go on in the hinterland
which will be very unfortunate % the Amer
leans, who are absolutely incapable Of noun
tain warfare. The situation of the Ameri-
cans is very critical. They will be compelled
to grant independence to the Fiiipinos, in
spite of the fact that they viii thereby bring
upon themselves the worlds ridicule."
The minister also expressed the belief that
the rupture at Manila would influence the
United States Senate, because the anti
annexatonists will point out that the an
nexation OF the Philippine islands Will de-
mand enormous and uncalled-for sacrifices
Of men and money" Continuing, the min
fster said. THE rebels therefore, have
shown cleverness in choosing the eve of the
ratification of the treaty for an outbreak.

HONG-KONG, Feb. 6.-The Filipino Junto
here has issued a statement setting forth
that the fighting at Manila was only an
outpost sklmish, designed to influence the
vote in the United States Senate to-day on
the peace treaty. This afternoon another
statement was issued reiterating the allega-
tions Of the first and asserting that. despite
the fact of the American control of the
cable, the Juntos version proves that the
fighting was only an outpost brush, due to
American aggression. This second state
ment says General Aguinaldo had given
special orders to the commanders to pre-
vent hostihties unless the Americans vio-
lated their agreement by forcing the Fill

One Regular Army Omcer killed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-First Lieutenant
James Mitchell Fourteenth Infantry, is the
only officer of the regular army killed in
the engagement Saturday night so far as
the official report shows up to date. He was
a native of Ireland and has been in the
army since December 1867. He enlisted as
private in the seTe.ih Cavalry, and after
seven years service in the signal corps
was appointed second lieutenant in the
signal corps in August, 1885. Subsequently
he was transferred to the Fifteenth In
fantry and became first lieutenant of the
Fourteenth Infantry in August, 1892. He
accompanied his regiment to Manila as part
of the first expedition that went to the
country from San Francisco, under General
Greene, early last summer

RUINED.

Young R 1lston, being in the North,
ran down to the village to see the old
doctor My father" he said, wished
me to pay my respects to some of his
old college friends, and to you espe,
cialIy. He is too feeble to leave the
plantation, or he would try to see you
himself before he goes away. That
was his message"
The doctor made the lad welcome.
During HE visit Ralston asked many
q lestions about his fathers college
friends that he might tell him of them
on his return.
There was n man" he said, ''of
whom he was most anxious to hear
John Cortrell. My father always
speaks Of him as one of his college
friends. A man Of great Intellectual
power, he says; honest and warm.
hearted. He has often wondered why
he did not make a great mark in the
world. You remember him7" he asked,
finding that the doctor did not reply.
"Oh yes, l remember Cortrell. No
body who knew him could forget him, "
the doctor said, and was silent again.
MY father wrote to him years ago
when he heard he was connected with
a city newspaper, but he received nc

old mans face %curiously.
Yes" said the doctor. m~editatively,
"'Cortrell's story ia not an uncommon
one. Your father is right-there was
no man in our class so fitted to play a
leading part in the world. He was
like a great giant in strength and
health. He had a keen, receptive
brain. He belonged to an honorable
family who for generations had done
good work as judges and physicians
and scholars. The family had great

He was given a leading position on'a
great newspaper. His hand was on
the lever, and his friends waited to see
how he would take his part in moving
the world-in lifting it,"
The doctor stopped.
"Well-and then9" asked Ralston.
"Then he fell in love. Not with the
soul of the woman or with her mind,
but with her beauty. Her hold was on

LOVES MISSION.

In his last sermon to his Chicago
congregation before going to Brooklyn
as pastor of Plymouth church, Rev.
Newell D wight Hills preached on love.
Here is some good doctrine from that
sermon:
"All the collisions with their bruis-
ing, all the battlef1elds stained with
blood, all the jails filled with the
wronqdoers, represent the absence OF
love. D avid sets Uriah in the fore front
of the battle because he does not love
him. The Grecian orator proposes a
cup of hemlock for Socrates because
he has no affection for the retormer.

leg Of his slave E~2ictetua because he
hates the gentle scholar. Eavy can

can build a dungeon, hatred can kindle
fagots for martyrs, but love unshots
all cannon, takes the sting out Of the
tyrant's scourge, opens all dungeon
doors. Love a bind the world to the
feet OF Gld with chains of gold.
"In these days we hear much of the
problems Of poverty and wealth.
Through class hatred the country is
threatened With a trampled ~cornfeld
and the city with a bloody street. Sod

j~urists are saying that corporate wealth
threatens free institutions, and great
lawyers r taxing their genius to for
mulate laws to limit greed and rapacity
and prevent the weak and the strong
from flying at each others throats.
But should love enter into all hearts
the social problem would be solved,
just as the entrance of summer dis
solves ice letters, makes the frozen
clods mellow, turns snoWfakes into
April showers, turns baroness into
bloom and beauty. Love would turn
the oppressor into q protector; selfish
ness makes the miser's wealth q dead
sea of riches, but love changes it into
a river flowing through happy fields.
Selfshness makes a great man a social
brigand and makes capital an ancient
castle, extorting treasure from each

man a knight Grant Of the poor and

TBE PRAYER OF A DEVOUT
PARROT.

A resident of Pittsburg who spent a
part of last summer in England tells
in an exchange an incident which
sadly disturbed the religious peace of a
parish in Penzance.
a maiden lady of that town owned a
parrot which somehow acquired the
disagreeabIe habit of observing at fre.
quent intervals: Il wish the old lady
was dead"
This annoyed the birds owner, who
spoke to her curate about it. Il think
we can rectity the matter" replied the
good man. II also have a parrot, and
he is a righteous bird, having been
brought up in the way he should go.
I will lend you my parrot, and 1 trust
his influence will reform that depraved
bird of yours"
The curate's parrot was placed in the
same room with the wicked one, and
as soon as the two had become accus
toned to each other the bad bird re
marked, II wish the old lady would
die" Whereupon the clergyman's bird
rolled up bis eyes and in solemn &C
cents added: I'VE beseech Thee to
hear US, good L0rd!"
The story got out 10 the parish, and
for several Sundays it was necessary
to omit the litany at the church ser
