THE END OF FILIPINO
INSTRUCTION IN SIGHT
Continued from page -

| Aguinaldo is evidently selecting the
army as a cloak for his congress, hop
/ ing by subterfuge to overcome General
Otis consistent policy of ignoring the
Filipino government. The Fflipinos
argument is that 1t is impossible to
arrange an armistice without the sane
ton of the congress. General Otis
puncturQd this assumption by saying
that if General Aguinaldo could make
war without the congress, he could stop
without reference TO that body. One of
the ccnfereeS afterwards remarked that
they are shrewder than white men in
diplomacy.
While the insurgents are undoubt-
edly tired of war, the leaders are torn
with dissensions. There is a suspicion
that it was hoped by means of a con-
ference to ascertain what they could
expect If they saw that anything is
to be gained by continuing the war, an
armistice would afford them an oppor-
tunity for recuperating their forces.
1t is an interesting commentary upon
Aguinaldo's scheme that only sixty OF
the 300 members of the Filipino con-
gress have taken the oath of allegiance
which their constitution requires.
A Filipino proclamation replying to
the proclamation of the American COM
missioners has appeared. 1t is signed
ny IhdulIll lOl lliG bieSiuCl4l, anu 10
dated at Caniasdro April 10. 1t is in
the usual grandee style and declares
that President Mckinley issued the
proclamation in order to force the
American congress to ratify the cession
of the islands under the treaty of
Paris.
This contract of cession was made
with the Spanish after Spanish domi-
nation had been ended by the valor of
our troops" the proclamation asserts
The proclamation complains that the
Filipinos were not represented at Paris
during the negotiations of the treaty,
and that they are without assurances
OF the fulfllment of American prom
ises. 1t dilates upon the alleged Anglo
Saxon hatred of blacks. and asserts a
desire to enslave them. DeDlorIng a
lack of foreign aid in prosecuting the
war, the proclamation concludes:
We stand alone, but we will fight to
the death. Coming generations viii
pray over our graves, shedding tears
of gratitude for their freedom"

The storm struck Newtown at els
in the evening, coming from the south

! Jew were able to take advantage of
| their storm cellars. Striking the east
ern end Of town it cut clean swath
| 500 or 600 feet wide through the best
portion of the place, sweeping every
| thing before it.
+, Over thirty houses were torn to splin-
| tiers. On one street alone d row of ten
houses was entirely demolished. Here
scarcely any one escaped death or in
| jury. The walls of buildings fell with
crash that sounded above the roar
of the storm, burying people in the
ruins. Frame buildings We're twisted
and lifted from their foundations,
others We're utterly demolished, pieces
of them being carried for miles. Others
shifted in their position apparently un-
hurt; one was turned squarely around,
while another was turned upside down.
Samuel Desper, at the appearance of
the black cloud. started with his fam
lily for a neighboring cellar, but his
house was blown over them just as he
reached the front door His two daugh-
tiers We're caught with him by the tim
bers and killed instantly. His wife was
seriously injured. though still alive.
Mrs. William Hays was killed while
running uD the street in search of
shelter. The mutilated trunk, with the
head missing, was found in the street
later. Mrs. Hays husband and two
children met death within a few feet
Of each other.
The storm lasted five minutes. When
it had ended the sun came out for
few minutes and shone brightly over
scene of ruin. Women and children
were rushing through the streets, while
men busted themselves attempting to
restore order. A Thunderstorm fol-
lowed and darkness gathered quickly.
The night proved most dismal one.
Numbers of citizens piled the ruins
necessarily, answering the cries of the
injured from this place or that, carry
ing the dead to the depot and the
wounded to the places of safety. Houses
of the survivors were thrown open to
the unfortunates and all possible done
to allay the suffering. Chillicothe sent
a squad of physicians who materially
aided the Newtown rescuers.
When morning broke on the scene
the search was begun with renewed ac-
tivity and has been kept up all day.
Considerable CONSERVATION prevailed
and nightfall found the searchers still
at work, with no knowledge of the ac-
tual number of killed and wounded. A
complete list will not be had for several
days. Scenes of intense grief were en-
acted on all sides. The storm blew
down the telegraph wires in and about
town and washed away the bridge over
Medicine creek, a-small stream south of
town, partially demolishing the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul depot,
stockyards and a dozen stock cars.

Speaks to the Sailors.

Captain Coghlan and men of the
Raleigh, it gives me great pleasure tc
give you welcome home, and to con-
| graduate each one of you on the heroic
part you played in the great battle or
| the. 1St of May at Manila, which was q
most glorious triumph of American
arms and made new and glorious page
in American history.
I assure you that when / give you
welcome l am only speaking the hearty
welcome of 1000, 900 American citizens
who honor you all for your splendid
services to our country.
This feeling not only extends to your
great admiral, who we all love and
honor, but to the humblest member of
the crew who was in that great fleet at
Manila bay. I give you all a warm and
generous welcome and my thanks
Secretary of the Navy Long then ad-
dressed the sailors. He said:
You have heard the naval COM
mander-in-chief and listened to the
most feeling words in which the presi-
dent of the United States has Just eX-
pressed not only his own generous rec
ognition, but that of the whole Ameri-
can people, of your distinguished SER
vices during your whole connection
with the United States navy.
THE country knows on whom she
may depend. The record of the United
States navy is unsurpassed in the his
tory of the world, and of that record
we do not forget you are a great part
not only the officers of the deck but
also as the name has become Familiarity
endeared, the man behind the gun.
Cheers For the President
AT the conclusion of Secretary Longs
speech the sailors gave three cheers for
the pres q ent, and three for the secre-
tary of the navy. This was followed
by the ships yell:
Who are we? Can't you see?
I'VE are members of the new navee.
'Rah! rah! rahl Raleigh, -
This amused the president very much.
The president then shook hands with
the various officers Of the cruiser and
spoke a pleasant word to each Then,
with the ladies of the party, the presi
dent made an inspection of the war
ship. He examined the big gun on the
starboard side, which spoke first in
the war at Manila, and displayed much
interest in all he saw. y general hand
shaking concluded the visit. and the
presidential party returned to the tug.
a flying visit was made to Cramps
shipbuilding yards, where the battle
ship Alabama, in course of construc-
ton, was inspected.
Some surprise was expressed at the
agility displayed by Mr.. Mckinley in
climbing ladders and mounting steps
on the Alabama and at the wharves.
AS the president was about to de-
scend from the upper deck of the
battleship he discovered that the steps
We're very steep. Remarking that the
best wav to get down is to back up"
he went down backwards.
The presidential party left for New
York in a special train over the Penn
sylvania road at 2:35 p. m. An immense
crowd in and about the station cheered
the president as his train pulled out.
