General Shafter DenOunC0S the
 Actions of the Speaker.
SAYS HE HAS SWELLED HEAD
Thinks if Should Be Part of the Work Of inc Next House 10 Elect New SPeaker-NO One Could FOreSee the Responsibilities inc War With Spain Would Bring Upon This Nation.

Los Angeles, Feb. 22-Major-Gen- eraI William R. Shafter was rendered a reception at the Westminster hotel to- day. In conversation with Congress man-elect Waters, General Shafter said:
 ''I have been a red hCt republican all my life and I think that MT. Reed showed exceedingly poor taste and very little courtesy in his recent ac- tion in working against the President In my opinion if there is an extra ses- sion of congress a part of it's work will be the election of a new Speaker of the house.
 MT. Reed has grown very rabld ot late, and is at present suffering with a swelled head When any man gets to that point in his career he is lost. MT. Reed is, to say the least, acting very unwisely and will in time see the error of his way.
 ''I doubt if there were fifty men in this country at the time of the out break of the recent war who had any suspicion of the complications which have resulted from it.
 No one could foresee the present Philippine troubles, but nearly every one was anxious for a conflict and now it's results should be accepted as a nat ural part of the war
 ''The idea of suggesting that the Filipinos be permitted to establish a government of their own is ridiculous. Much as we may dislike 1t, it is the duty of cur government to continue the policy already adopted relative to these islands.
 ''Supposing we were to let the na- tives try a government Of their own making, it would be only . short while until Germany, France, England and other European countries would have the islands divided among themselves. Just about as long as it would take them to split the islands up.''

Aqrarian Leaders Advice 10 inc
 German Ministry.

Berlin, Feb. 22.-The rumors of dis
 sensions in the German and Frussian
 cabinets seem to Ee founded on fact l The stories mainly, but not exclusively center on Baron vOn Hammerstein- LoXten, Prussian minister of agricuI-
 ture, whose fervent aSrarianism pre- vents him from agreeing with his col leagues in their friendly attituCe to- ward the United States. He seems to have wagged his tongue so fiercely against certain other ministers on va= rious occasions in parliament that the official reports of his speeches were carefully edited lest his utterances should mar the diplomatic negotiations between Germany and the United States. One of his speeches in the reichstag, in which he hotly attacked the United States, is said to have caused much trepidation in the foreign office. Whole sentences were suppress ed in the official report of the pro- ceedings.
 Outside of parliament the agrarians are fuming at the ministerial rhetoric in the reichstag on Saturday during the discussion of the commercial rela- tions between Germany and the United States. Baron Manteufel, enc of the most conservative leaders and an agrarian champion said at an, agrarian meeting:
 Had we increased our navy sooner so that we now had a strong fleet, the United States would not dared to have used the language she has used toward Germany"
 At meeting yesterday of the League of Agriculture, powerful organiza- tion, with which the min sters feel it advisable to keep on good terms, the discussion centered on the relations with the United States. A prominent member of the league said:
 tIn the reichstag Saturday the Americans were served with sugar bread. I fear this is usele-s. If we want to impress them we must show them our fist. It cannot be expected that a great power like Germany will allow herse!t to be made a fool of as we have been in regard to Ame. .ica."
 This is a representative view of a large section of the public.

Atchinson, Kan, Feb. 22.-F. w. Hanson, a travelling salesman, was in Atchinson today, returning from hls annual trip to Mexico. He was in Chihuahua Jan. 27. and met Grant Gillett, the former Kansas cattle king several times.
 Gillett lives at the leading hotel with his wife, and, apparently, has plenty of money. Troxe1l, the lawyer, who went away with Gillett is still with him, and is supposed to own an inter- est in the hotel. The general opinion is that GilIett really owns the hotel, which is a large structure and the best in the town of 10000 inhabitants
 Gillett told Hanson Of several im- prOvements he intends to make in the hotel. The bar is very profitable and Hanson believes that it's income is ire quently $1.0OO a day. Gillett meets every train and seems to be interested in a deal to square his affairs in the United States
 ''TroXell and another American named Hunt are Gilletts confidential men" said Mir. Hanson and he lets them do all the talking. Gillett talks and drinks very little''

Manila, Feb. 22.-Wlhile guns on the city walls and those on board the ships of Rear-A dmiraI Dewey's fleet in the bay fired a salute in honor of Washington's birthday, four commits slcners from the island of Negros had an interview with Major-General Otis and informed him that the American flag had already been raised over the island and the inhabitants were ready, anxious and willing tO accept any prep osition the Americans might offer. The insurgents have been driven from the island entirely
 Although the Iloilo rebels have given the people of Negrcs much trouble, es- pccially in the matter of financial as- sistance demanded by the rebel leaders, inhabitants of Negros have persistent ly held aloof, and now through their commissioners have announced that they wanted the advice and help Of General Otis. The latter assured them that the Americans would provide an acceptable government and in the meantime he instructed them net to pay the rebels anything. The Negros commissioners were delighted with their reception.

 Two hours were devoted to the naval appropriation bill, but seemingly only the threshold of the debate upon the cost of armor plate has been passed. MT. Boutelle's amendment fixing the maximum price of armor plate at $545 per ton, but restricting the provision to the appropriation made by the present bill, was ruled to be in ord sr, whereupon another proposition was offered by MT. Underwood of Alabama, for the erection of an armor plate plant by the government. A point of order against the latter proposition was pending, when consideration of the naval bill was suspended to allow members of the house to pay tribute to the memory of the late Senator Nor

Paris, Feb 22.-La Soir announces that M. Manau, the procurateur gen. eral will submit his report in the Dreyfus affair next week. The report will ask the court of cessation. it is said, to annul the conviction without ordering a re-trial. If this be correct, it shows that the evidence before the court not only proves Dreyfus' inno- cent, but the crime for which he was punished never existed, as the French law allows the court of cessation to quash a sentence without re-trial, only when there is proof that the offense alleged was never perpetrated

New York, Feb. 22.-Today's pro ceedings of the court of inquiry investi- gation of the beef controversy devel- oped little that was new. The testi- mony, with the exception of that Of Dr. Daily, surgeon on the staff of Gen eral Miles during the war, and of Col.

 The canned roast beef was generally condemned as unsatisfactory, while refrigerated beef was commended, the chief complaint being that it often de- composed en route to camp.
 When the court met this morning FCol. Davis, the recorder, announced that the examination of witnesses 50 far summoned or reported was about concluded. The court should consider now, he thought the questions of fur ther summons and procedure, and at his suggestion the court went into se- cret session
 When the executive session was con- cluded Dr. William H. Daly was called.

AGUINALDO1S MANIFESTO.
Calls on All to Witness the Honesty of
 His Intentions.

Hong Kong, Feb. 22.-Aguinaldo has issued a manifesto accepting the situ- ation caused by the unexpected provo cation of the Americans. While la menting the hostlities," which, he says, he tried to avoid by every means in his power" making humiliating con cessions and tolerating the insults and outrages of the army of occupation against the people of Manila, he adds he is prepared to sacrifice everything to maintain the integrity and national honor. He calls on all to witness the good faith and honesty of his inten- tions and complains that he has been treated as a rebel, because defended national interest instead of becoming the tool of American preposterous pre- tensions" The rebel leader further alleges that the country is unanimcus in his support, that the people will perish rather than accept the Odious American dominion and alleging that even the corrupt Spanish dominion is preferable.
 The Philippine commission is con sidered by Aguinaldo to be a farce, and Otis, Denby, Lowry and Secretary Harden are classed as pronounced an nexationists, the latter being charged with having maliciOusly defamed the Filipinos in the newspaper reports.
 Finally Aguinaldo expressed the wish to proclaim to the world and off cially dspeI the false rumors that Ger many or any other power has ren- dered assistance, moral or material to the Filipinos, nor have the Filipinos solicited it.

ECONOMY IN CABLE MESSAGES.
Code Addresses Now Used in Official
 Messages to the Government.

Washington, Feb. 22-The first ap- pIication of the government new clde address system, designed to save money in the transmission of cable messages, was made in 8. dispatch re- ceived at the war department from Major General Brooke at Havana. The dispatch was addressed to ''Agwar, 9 who in plain English is the adjutant general of the army.
 A great amount of money has been wasted since the war with Spain began in the use of superfuous words in ad- dresses and signatures to official cable messages. General Shafter and Gen eral Brooke have filed messages that contained a dozen words in addresses and signatures. Every word in an ad- dress or signature of a cable message is charged for by the telegraph com panies at the same rate as words in the body of the message. Che of General Shafter's dispatches was addressed to Hon R. A. Alger, Secretary of War, War Department, Washington, D. C." and signed, 'fW R. Shafter, Major General, commanding the Fifth Army Corps" These twenty-one words,
