General Otis Commissioners Meet
 Filipino Representatives - McKin-
 Iey's Intentions Discussed - Hong-
 kong Junta Breaks With wfldman.
 Washington, Jan. 1.-The fact has been developed that President Mckinley is satisfied that some foreign power Is behind the defiant attitude which Agui- naldo has assumed toward the United States. There has been more or less suspicion of that sort ever since Agui- naldo began to show open contempt for the authority of this government, but apparently there was nothing definite on which the administration could base it's belief that a stronger power was urging the Filipinos not to submit to the demands of General Otis. It is now said that the information in the posses sion of the administration Is definite enough to indicate that Aguinaldo Is getting substantial assistance from some nation unfrendly to the continu- ance of American rule in the Philip pines. Everybody has pretty strong suspicion as to which nation is meant.
 Re-enforcements For Dewey.
 That the administration intends to take no chances about having an ade- quate land and naval force in the Phil ippines has been shown in several ways recently. The latest suggestion in re- gard to the strengthening of Dewey's squadron contemplates the dispatch of the Detroit, Marblehead and Montgom- cry to Manila. These vessels are second class cruisers and too large to enter riv- CTS and shallow harbors like the light draft gunboats that Dewey requested. In order to ascertain whether these three ships would be acceptable, the na- " department will communicate with Admiral Dewey on the subject.
 Two late dispatches have been receiv- ed at the war department from General Otis. One related to some instructions that had been sent and the other said, in answer to a question from the de- partment, that the health of General Miller's troops at Iloilo continued good. No news from Iloilo has been received since Sunday. The department does not know whether General Miller's force has been landed. New instructions to General Otis were prepared at the war department and transmitted last even ing. The meager information obtaina- ble indicates that there has been nn change in the policy of the administra- ton to treat the Filipinos with consid- eration and to avoid any conflict.

FINE WAS TEN DOLLARS.
Result of Officers Experiment With
Appiejack.

BY placing himself on the outside of two
glasses of applejack the 31st of last month
Policeman Charles g. Smith of the fourth
precinct today incurred fine of $40 in
ftcted by order of the District Commission
ers. and received a warning that hereafter
he must abstain from partaking of such
luxuries as may, in a measure, deterOrate
his capacity for duty, or otherwise more
serious consequences will follow.
1t is learned from a report made to the
Commissioners by Major Sylvester the
chief Of police, that Officer Smith, who is
said by his lieutenant to be temperate
man and an active and energetic officer,
appeared at the station house under the in
fluence of some intOxicant. That was early
in the evening. He was sent to bed by the
lieutenant, and at midnight went on duty in
good condition. Smith explained that go
ing home the afternoon of the day in ques-
ton, he found there a friend from Virginia
with some Caroline county appieiack
Never having tasted alcoholic bevera ges
and being wholly ignorant, therefore, of
the peculiar resultant effects of applejack
he drank two glasses, with the result above
stated.
In recommending that the officer be fined
SIC and warned to hereafter abstain from
such Injuries, particularly Caroline county
Commissioners that Smith is not a drink
ing man, but that in experimenting with
something he knew nothing of he incapaci-
tated himself for a proper showing when
the time came for him to report at the sta
ton house.

GRANTED A RESPITE.
Orde- in Horton Case Signed by the
President.

President Mckinley this morning signed
the respite of George W. Horton. the con-
demned murderer, fixing the date for his
execution at Friday, December s. The
reason given in the document of respite is
that the attorneys for Horton have pre-
scented a petition to the Supreme Court of
the United States asking for writ of GER
tiorari.
Attorney General Griggs early this morn
ing recommended that the application for a
stay Of execution be granted, and the pa
it reached the White House.
In the Court of Appeals today, when the
motion that the mandate of the court issue
in the Horton case was reached, counsel
for the condemned man explained that a
respite would unqucst.Onabiy be granted
today by the President. Assistant United
States Attorney Could informed the court
that he had learned this morning from the
Department Of Justice that the Attorney
General had recommended that Horton be
respited until Friday. the Sth of December;
that the papers had been forwarded to the
White House, and that the President would
undoubtedly attach his signature to the or
der of respite during the day.
The Court of Appeals thereupon decided
not to take any action in connection with
the issuing of the mandate at this time
As heretofore stated, counsel intend to
call the case to the attention of the Su-
preme Court of the United States next
Monday.

shape of stray dogs that may happen along.
Should one approach, pussy has timely
warning in the polly's stimulation of a Cog :
barking. When the cat has made its posi-
ton safe. Poll proceeds to berate the Of
Tending canine which has disturbed the do
mestic felicity of the pair in the strongest
English that tongue can command.
Strangely enough the parrot never uses
profanity on any other occasion. The in
slant the cat is disturbed, however, he lets
loose the fioodgates OF his pent-up wrath in
the choicest billingsgate, and will not be
coaxed from his rage for hours at a time.
The friendship grew out of the cat saving
the birds life when the latter was very
young. Before that time Poll had no use
for Puss. In an unguarded moment he al
lowed a strange cat to approach near
enough to seize him and pinion him beneath,
a paw. But before the cat could fasten h:.,
teeth in the bird Pussy had attacked the
stranger. The latter got the worst licking
1t had ever experienced, and ever after tina +
gave the bird and cat a wide berth.
From that day the friendship between the
two began, and it has since been sealed by
continual manifestations of good feeling.

Ready for a Long War.
From the New York Herald


If this story, related by an English cor.
respondent at the Cape be true, the Trans
vaal expects long struggle and Is ready
for it. A Boer asked Kruger why he did
not begin war at once
Are you ready for it?" asked Kruger
looking at the man attentively.
Certainly" said he; Il have gun, horse
and eight days rations, as required
Have you got three months food?"
Yes, 1 think L can hold out with what l
have for three MONTHS
Have you six months food?' said the
president.
We'll, 1 could hardly hold out for SIN
months
How about twelve months, them
mo, that l can't do" said the country
visitor.
well, why are you talking about war.
then? Do you know that the British hay,.
already imported six months food for the ir
people into the country, and have not be-
gun to ask money from their volksraad for
any expenses?"

QUEER ANIMAL FRIENDSHIP.
Cat and Parrot Are Boon Companions
and Stanch Allies.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Fur and feathers do not agree very well
as a rule, even in woman's toilet. In real
life, of course, you know they are deadly
enemies. If you have bird do not keep a
cat, and if you have a cat do not keep a
bird. Above all things, do not keep 4 par
rot and cat, for the two can stir up more
trouble than anything else known outside
Of a Kansas cyclone.
A parrot has no greater delight in the
world than to simulate the barking of a
dog. The bark will terrify The cat until
she finds out she is being fooled. Then
look out for her. Her rage knows no
bounds. and if she can wreak dire Ven
geance on the bird she will go to any
lengths of cunning to do 50. But the par
rot is not always the -aggressor. The cat
occasionally offends. If Poll, in an absent
minded moment, happens to be seated near
the side of the cage, Pussy will spring up
with vicious eye and extended claw and
scare the bird out Of its four or five senses,
If it does not succeed in doing the bird
some substantial injury.
If the two ever get near enough to come
to real conflict there will be the most Sc
rious time within the peaceful household
that you ever saw. Pandemonfum reigns,
and both comba tantS are literally torn to
pieces. Nothing can present a sorrier spec
tacle than a cat that has had an encounter
with a parrots beak, and woaful indeed is
the sight of the unfortunate bird who has
met the cat In deadly combat and escaped
with his life.
1t is rarely, indeed, that the two can be
found living in peaceful amty. Albert Eng
lish of Waterford, Conn, maintains that
he possesses in his pair the most remark
able couple he has ever hear of.
The parrot is never Gagged The door
stands wide open for it to enter its house
when it pleases. but it rarely. If ever, goes
inside. 1t sleeps at night perched on the
back of a great rocking chair in which the
cat takes its maps. Never during the day
does the eat lie down that the bird does not
sit beside it and keep watch as a guardian
angel for the approach of danger in the
