Will be Pressed in Wash
ington This Winter.
AN ENVOY IS SENT OVER
To Try and Get This Country to Re-
cOgniZe the independence Of the
Enthusiastically Not be Rec0g-
niZed BY State Department.

Washington, Oct. PA special to the
World from WASHINGTON says: Secre-
tary of State Hay, when asked if Senior
Regidor, he Filipino envoy, would be
permitted to appear before the Philip
pine commission, said:
Il have heard that he contemplated
visiting the United States and would
present some such plan as that outlined
by the newspapers. He ould have no
official or diplomatic status in Washing
ton. either as the agent of the Filipino
Insurgents or as a diplomatic represent
ative OF the so-called Filipino govern
nent. The question Of his being heard
by the Philippine peace commission rests
entirely with the commission itself.
The state department is not concerned in
the matter in any way"
From a confidential source it is learned
that Senior Hegidor will employ as his
legal representatives a We'll known firm
of Washington lawyers who have had
much experience in international prob
lens. The basis of demand Of the Fill
pinos for the establishment of an indie
pendent government will be contained IL
a memorial to be fled with the commi,-
sion as coming from a number Of the
leading residents of several of the larger
islands of the Philippine archipelago rep
resentinG various races and not by any
means confined to the Filipinos. This
memorial will recite that the Filipino
government which was established June
IS. 1898, was directly inspired by the ex
ample of the United States. that at the
time of the adoption Of the so-called gov
ernment the natives who were in q ma
jority and by every right should govern
the islands, found themselves superior ir
position as to their control of their
country to that Of the Americans when
the American declaration OF indeperd-
ence was framed. The memorial vii.
plead that this country should not repu-
diate an example based upon it's own G X
perience in resisting conditions similar
to those which the United States con
tested q century ago.
The Filipino envoy, Senior Regidor, will
it is understood, not con1ine himself tx
diplomatic representations. If he is re
fused an official status he will immedi
ately start a newspaper propaganda
much after the fashion of that Instituted
by the Cuban junta during the early
years of their war. He will endeavor t.
have literature favorable to the Filipino.
published in the congressional record
which will be distributed throughout tn
country and in this name arouse sym
pathy for his people. Senator Hoar af2t
others of equal note can be depended
upon to assist in this crusade. Member
OF the house Will also be willing to cham
= pion the cause of the FilipinoS. TIL
j withdrawal Of Speaker Reed is regarde'
as of material assistance to their caus
for the reason that. while personally fay
oring the independence OF the Tilipinos
he was so great q party man that h
refused to permit a discussion OF tn
question in the house.

Boston. Oct. 21.-At an Informal con-
ference of Judge Fessenden and the
counsel in the Woodbury-IIddy libel suit
in Massachusetts the court intimated
that the plaintiff would have to amend
her declaration materially and at the
same time tina the Defendants demurrer
would be overruled. The plaintiff has
80 days to file a new declaration and the
paragraphs in the old suit touching on
Mrs. Eddy's personal claims as we'll as
reference to in books and
pamphlets will have to be left out or the
libel may be dismissed. The paragraphs

MILES CALLED DOWN
Hereafter Secretary Alger Will be
the Supreme Authority in the War
Department.

Washington, March 23.-The follow
ing order has been issued at the War
Department.:
Headquarters of the Army,
Adjutant Generals Office,
Washington, March =, 1899.
The following decision has been made
and is published for the information
and guidance of all concerned:
War Department,
Washington, March %, 1899.
Ordered, that hereafter no chief or
acting chief of staff corps shall be de-
tailed or ordered to any duty by any
authority without the approval Of the
Secretary of War.
(Signed.) r. A. ALGER,
Secretary of War.
By command of Major General Miles.
H. C. CORBIN, Adjutant General.
This order of Secretary Alger has
been issued to set at rest all questions
as to who is the supreme authority in
the War Department. 1t is an old con-
troversy, dating back to the time when
Jefferson Davis was Secretary of War
and Gen. Scott commanding general Of
the army. The last time the matter
was brought prominently to the atten-
ton of the country was during the ad-
ministration of President Arthur, when
Secretary Lincoln wrote very caustic
letter to Lieut.. General Sheridan stat
ing that the staff corps of the War De-
partment, with the exception Of the adj
jutant generals and the inspector gen.
erals corps, were under the direct con-
troll and subject only to orders by the
Secretary of War. The order of Secre-
tary Alger will hereafter include the
chiefs of those corps under the sole con-
troll of the secretary. Gen. Miles has
held to the construction based upon the
letter of Secretary Lincoln. The cause
for the issuance of the order was a re-
cent order of Gen. Miles to Lieut. Col
Darlington, acting chief of the inspec-
ton generals corps during the absence
of Gen. Breckenridge, directing Darling
ton to visit certain points in the West
on an inspection tour. The order of the
secretary does not refer to Gen. Brock
inridge's present duty in Cuba, as he is
acting under orders issued by Secretary
Alger.

INTERCEPTED LETTERS

Between Filipino officials Sent to WASH
ingtoo.
Washington, March 23.-The capture
of LuZon, by the United States forces
recently, resulted in the cOnfiscation of
considerable mail addressed to the in
surgent government. 1t includes
number of letters of Aguiualdo and
other leaders and brings out some in
teresting facts about Filipino official
methods. Postal Agent Vaille at Ma
Mia has forwarded some of the mail
to Acting Postmaster General Heath.
One letter is addressed to Aguinaldo's
so-called secretary of the treasury and
is in reply to request for money. The
writer is apparently the fiscal officer
at Lucena, Luzon, to whom the 1nsur-
gents had entrusted the duty of squeez-
ing the merchants and he had appar
emily confiscated for the insurgent
cause lot of cocoa fibre belonging to
a large tobacco company. When asked
to turn over the proceeds the agent
remarks that only $500 had come into
his hands and that amount he had
naid to the troops who were clamoring
for more. The letter is written in very
fair Spanish.
Apparently Aguinaldo's treasury Of
fcials are running short of paper for
the outer covering of the letter is made
Of sheet of paper, written all over,
torn out of a record book, and it was
tied around with fragment of Manila
bagging.
Some intercepted letters to Aguinal-
do himself have also come into the pos
session Of the postoffice department.

Out of Is.463 Measures Introduced, Only

Washington, March 23.-Mr. b. S.
Platt, enrolling clerk Of the Senate, has
prepared a statement giving in figures
the results OF the work of the last Con-
gress. The statement shows that l ,457
bills and joint resolutions became laws
out of a total of 1S,463 introduced in
both houses. OF the measures intro
duced 1868 were presented in the
House and $3.50 in the Senate. OF
which became laws, 942 originated in
the House and 515 in the Senate There
were only two direct vetoes during the
Congress-, one of these applying to
Senate bill and the other to a House
measure. There were, in addition to
these, four pocket vetoes-bills which
failed to become laws because they were
not approved by the President. The
record shows that the Senate passed
1,173 Of its own bills and that the
House acted favorably upon only SIT,
or fewer than half of them, while OF
the 1,0S1 bills passed by the House the
Senate acted favorably upon 946. A
larger number OF bills were introduced
than in any previous Congress.

An American Photographers Narrow Es-
cape at the Hands of Filipinos.
San Francisco, March "a letter
from Capt McQuesten, surgeon OF the
Twenty eighth regulars, now at Manila
tells of the release of A. l.. Peters, a
photographer, who was captured ana
tortured by the Filipinos. Peters was
made prisoner while taking pictures
outside the lines. He was thrust into
a filthy Jail, where he was visited by a
native captain, who tested his sword
on his body and threatened to Kill him.
The rebel chief then called in num-
Der of naked savages, all armed, who
executed a war dance and made passes
at Peters, one of whom wounded him
in the arm. The next morning he was
taken to Malalos, where he found eight
Americans, two Englishmen, and a
Spaniard. From here he finally secured
his release through the intervention OF
American officials
1.-THE savages who attacked Peters,
continues Capt. McQuesten, were of
the tribe known as head hunters and
cannibals. They live in the interior OF
the island and will not show any mercy
after this to any unfortunate white man
who may fall into their hands"
