Manila. June %. 1880 p. m.--De-
tails Of the sentencing of Col AR
guellcs, Filipino commissioner, to 10
years imprisonment, have just been
obtained here. 1t was first reported
that his condemnation by the Filipi-
nos was due 10 the friendship he dis
played towards Americans. but the in
formation just received shows the ac-
cusation against him was not based
on his peace conferences at Manila,
as supposed. They confirm President
Schureman's belief in bis sincerity.
and show that his advocacy of auton-
omy among the insurgents was treat
ed as treason.
Charge Against the Colonel.
The charge against the colonel was
that in conversation with Filipino Of
ficers he predicted that disorders with
in the insurgent territory would lead
10 civil war. and. therefore, he said
he considered autonomy under the
Americans preferable 10 independence.
j he tihpino congress tired nm on the
charge of treason, and heated debate
over autonomy followed. Finally, the
colonel was sentenced To death. but
this was commuted 10 II years inn
prisonmcnt on account of his previous
service to the cause. after an eloquent
plea upon the part Of his counsel.

GEN. WOOD MAY WIN.
Is Seeking to Have Santiago Fully
Recognized at Havana

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, March g.
Today orders were received from Ha-
vana directing the payment of provin-
cial officials, but these orders do not
affect the 1000 laborers out of work
nor meet the fact that the public
works already initiated are suffering
seriously from lack of prosecution.
Civil Governor Demetrius Castillo,
as a precaution against a possible dis
turbance, has sent word to the work
ing gangs that they should stay where
they are for the present, as in all
probability they would have orders to
return to work in the course of two
or three days. He further explains
that the delay was merely the result
of red tape" in the relations between
Santiago and Havana, asserting that
Maj. Gen. Wood, the military gov
e1nor. thinks it quite probable that
his estimate may be accepted by ca
BILE.
Thus far there have been no public
meetings on the subject, but at the
clubs and cafes the United States au-
thorities at Havana are very sharply
criticised for a course, which, justly or
unjustly, is regarded here as a most
injurious discrimination against the
best interests of the province.

however, that no residences in this
