LIKE TO GET A CRACK AT JEFF DAVIS WHILE OUT
 STUMPlNG.
THE MAN FROM LEE
Says He Thinks He Can Convince tn People That Davis is Not tn
 Man They Want.

Hon. J. F.. Wood, editor of the Lee County Courier and member of the lower house of the recent gener- al assembly, was in the city yester- day, says today's Gazette. He was here on private business Ia con- versation with Gazette represen- tative he said his visit to Little Rock was of no political significance whatever. T read in your Sundays paper, he said "the report of At torney General Jeff Davis speech delivered at Conway. I think it was tie most amusing thing 1 ever read. l believe that Mir. Davis has as much right to be candidate for governor of Arkansas as any man in the State. l object, however, to the policy he is pursuing to secure the nomination. l don't believe any man should be elevated to office by deeeiving the people. If he will come to Eastern Arkansas and pre- sent his claims for the office l will take pleasure, if he will divide time with me, in convincing the people in my section of the State that he is not entitled to any consideration for the position to which be aspires. He said in his speech at Conway that I accused him of being daft. have never in my newspaper, or in private conversation, sald aught in criticism of the mental capacity of Hon. Jeff Davis. His ability as the legal representative of the State government is too well known to the people for any comment from me. As to his fitness to fill the guberna- torial chair, l think I am a good judge of that, and if he will visit my section of the State and permit me to answer one of his speeches, soliciting votes for the nomination, I think 1 will be able to convince the people in my part of the State that he is not the man we want. In my answer to MT. Davis, l shall say nothing that he or any of his friends will be apt to consid CT as abuse or that I am opposed to him on any other ground than that his defeat for the nomination for governor would be in the interest of the State of Arkansas.

The whole matter looked to him like
murder and travesty upon our pro-
fessed following of the loWly Naza

At the close of his speech, Mr.. Mason
asked for unanimous consent for vote
on the McEnery resolution at 2:30 n.

Mr.. Hawley, coming in later. rose to
question of personal privilege and
said: Il give notice that when the
senate is fuller than it is now, I will
move to set aside the unanimous con-
sent agreement given TO vote on what
IS known as the McEnery resolution.
Myself and several other senators made
peremptory objections to that resolu-

unanimous consent to vote upon the
resolution was given. At the first prop

Allen had heard, he said. that it was
the purpose to bring up the army re-

THE OTHER SIDE.
Aguinaldo Asserts That Otis Made a
-. TreacherOus Attack. 49,

| Hong Kong, Feb. 1.-THE Filipino junta
| has issued the following statement:
| A Manila steamer has arrived here with
| the American censorship, giving a YER
| sion of the recent fight which is utterly
false. The Americans commenced bonn
| harding heavily and by treachery of Otis
simultaneously by land and by sea.
Aguinaldo possesses a signed guarantee
from the American commissioners that
there would be no hostilities on their part.
Hence the Filipino troops were resting
and many of the Filipino officers were at
the theater on Saturday night and were
arrested shortly before the outbreak.
The bombardment of the defenseless
towns of Malate, Pace, Santa Ana and
Malabon caused frightful slaughter
| among women and children. 1t is esti-
mated that 1000 of them were killed. The
Filipino troops. whose loss was compare
lively small, tenaciously hold their posi-
lions.
The conduct of the Americans in the
suburbs was outrageous. They compelled
the Inhabitants to leave their houses and
then shot them down regardless of sex.
There is a reign of terror at Manila. CT
Villains are shot in the streets without
being challenged
The lloto commissioners arrived at Ma
Mia on the invitation of the Americans,
and when they were starting to return the
American soldiers were footing and pillag-
ing.
Agunaldo sent a commissioner to in
quire of Otis the reason for hostilities, Of
fering summary punishment If the Fill
pfnos were found to be at fault. He re-
ceived no satisfaction. The Americans
have apparently determined on a war of
determination similar to their doings in
the Carolnes in November violating the
| rights of mankind and Of civilized warfare
and committing monstrous outrages on
civilization. There is no doubt the action
OF Otis was political move to influence
the vote of the United States senate, fear
ing an exposure of corruptions at Manila.
Four vessels are leaving Manila to bonn
bard Iloilo
