AguinaldO's Proxram.
From the Chicago Inter-Otean.

Thus 1t Is that some Of the states of
the American Union have arisen in our
favor, especially the democratic party"
These are the words used by Emilio Aguin-
aldo, organizer and leader Of the Tagal re-
bellion in the Philippines, to encourage his
followers to further resistance to American
authority. These words mean so much that
they should be printed in every language
spoken in the United States and circulated
everywhere to show the people that the
only hope Of the rebels who are skulking
about cities and camps, shooting down
American soldiers is in those who have
arisen in their favor in the United States.
especially in the democratic party"
Aguinaldo advises his followers to reject
all promises and pledges made by the Pres
ident to scorn all terms for peace pre-
sented by the American commissioners, to
rejec. all propositions looking to self-gov-
eminent. because, with help from certain
persons in the United States, and 'espe-
c:ally the democratic party the rebels will
Sc cure the withdrawal of the American
troops and the surrender Of American SOW
ereignty over the islands.
The flag which Dewey raised with the
hope that it might never come down is to
be hauled down by the rebels through the
support and assistance of recreant Ameri-
cans, and especially the democratic par
ty.' This is Aguinaldo's program.

The cheering of the name of Aguinaldo in
New York city at a meeting called in the
interests of free silver need cause neither
surprise nor anxiety. Neither should 1t
serve to confuse the understanding as to
political issues. If there are free silver
leaders who, like Mr.. Altgeld and Mr..
Lentz. favor the enemy as against their
own country, there are other free silver
leaders like Senator Morgan and Gov.
Stone of Missouri. who favor the country as
against the enemy. And. for that matter,
Edward Atkinson and his tribe in New
England are all sound money men.
Neither would 1t be fair to assume that
the New York meeting was solely recruited
from the slums of the city. There were
probably some good men present who had
come to hear the financial question dis
cussed and had no thought of participating
In a meeting whose leading characteristic

The thing to be remembered is that such
crowds In such places swayed by dema-
gogues give out no note which represents
the thought or sturdy manhood of the
country. 1t was from such crowds In such
localities that Mr.. Lincoln and the Union
cause encountered bitter and even bloody
opposition when the war for the Union
was in progress. When the men of New

A Hot Wave.

The September hot wave has come some
what early in the month, and 1t may there
fore not prove to be the only visitation Of
caloric which this section of the country
will have before fall weather actually sets
in. Yesterday the western cities suffered
from unprecedented temperatures, the
weather bureau records being broken in
many places. Fortunately, however, a
high developed soon afterward, bringing
in cooler airs from the north and thus end
ing the heated spell in short order. The
rising temperatures in Washington today
indicate that the heat wave has travelled
faster than usual Today's record shows
an almost uniform rise of fourteen degrees
ever yesterday, bringing the temperature
into the midsummer range. If the cool
airs which have already brought relief to
the west shall continue to flow eastward
the local sufferings may not be prolonged,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-09-06

but rise Of fourteen degrees today and a
maintenance of the same temperature to-
morrow and perhaps Friday would be
sad disappointment to those summer vaca-
tionists who sought their homes on the
first of September. Those who remained at
home throughout the summer have en-
joyed a most delightful season as regards
temperature. There has been virtually no
excessive heat since the June "szzard,"
although July and the early half of August
were uncomfortably moist. 1t may be that
the summer will be unusual as was the
preceding winter, which was marked by
serious excuses of cold in periods. 1t Is
exceptional for the heated season to open
and close with overpowering warmth, while
the mid-season is cool and moist.

stand in the way as precedent or an In
novstion. Were this government, how
ever, to recognize Canada's necessities sufh-
oiently to yield in this one particular It
could not very well go before an umpire
or Joint commission later and ask for
such adjustment as would abolish the
privileYs which It has itself voluntarily
, granite to Canada. The dominion would
be In .cellent position to argue that 1t
had by the occupancy Of the free port
under whatever conditions-acquired a GER
tain degree of vested right which repre-
sented a valuable holding and Of which
1t should not be deprived without compen-
sation. In other words, were Canada to
hold the canal port for ten or twenty years
pending the final settlement Of the bound
airy, using that port in lieu of its proposed
all-rail route through Canadian territory to
the gold fields, it would have good ground
for demanding that the loss of this port
in the last settlement, should it then be
lost to Canada be considered as justify
ing a compensatory grant In some other
direction. The dominion would thus have
something to trade upon which would nave
some weight before the tribunal Of final
adjustment For were Canada to be de-
prived of such port privilege after years
of use. 1t could logically point to the fact
that it had demanded this port right,
even though it We're granted charity,
and that if it had anticipated it's ultimate
loss it would have preferred to proceed
with the costly enterprise Of a Canadian
rail route, which would perhaps in the
meanwhile have gained profitable status.
In any event the concession would surely
arise to plague this government So from
a diplomatic point of view 1t is gratifying
If now the free port proposition has been
laid aside unsuited to this controversy.
The whole drift of the treaty between Rus
STA and England to grant to Russia
control of the coast of Alaska above Port
land inlet That control was passed to the
United States in 1857, and was not ques-
toned for nearly twenty years thereafter.
Now that it has been given value through
the gold discoveries in the inland it should
not be prodgally relinquished even in
part, to accommodate a neighbor unless
some valuable return is offered or held in
prospect.

Asserted the President VIII Send
Nine Regiments to Philippines.
CHICAGO, June ga special dispatch
from Washington says:
president Mckinley has decided to call
for volunteers for service in the Philip
pines. It has been determined to form
at least nine regiments, and possibly
twelve. For the present the president
deems nine or ten regiments enough, and
1t Is understood this number is based on
the representations made by Gen. Otis,
who is said to have recently amended his
estimate Of the forces he will need in
maintaining peace In the islands There
are now $4,000 regulars in the Philippines,
and there will shortly be reinforcement
of at least 7,000
This furnishes Gen. Otis with the army
he desired in the earlier estimates from
Manila. Lately, however, he has had oc-
casion to revise these figures, and under
the influences of the more liberal esti-
mates of Gen. Lawton and other advis-
ers he has informed the Washington Off
cials that the presence of $4,000 or Is, 900
volunteers to supplement the force Of
regulars will be a safeguard.
Actual enlistment for the new yolun-
teer regiments will be under the army Of
fcers and the records will be similar to
those which attended the recruiting of
volunteers at the outbreak of the late
war. 1t is probable the company strength
will be maximum, and this would give for
nine regiments volunteer force of at
least 1900. The call for troops will be
issued as soon as the necessary arrange
ments for recruiting system can be
made

missioner, to twelve years Imprisonment.
have just been obtained here. 1t was at
first reported that his condemnation by
the Ftlipinos was due to the friendship
he displayed towards Americans, but the
information just received shows the ac-
cusation against him was not based on
his peace conferences at Manila as sup
posed. They confirm President Schur-
mans belief in his insincerity, and show
that his advocacy of autonomy among
the insurgents was treated as treason
The charge against the colonel was that
in conversation with Filipino officers, he
predicted that disorders within the insur-
gent territory would lead to civil war
and therefore, he said, ne considered
autonomy under the Americans preferable
to independence. The Filipino congress
tried him on the charge of treason and a
heated debate over autonomy followed
Finally the colonel was sentenced to
death, but this was conlmuted to twelve
years Imprisonment on account of his
previous services to the cause, after an
eloquent plea upon the part of his coun-
sell
Col. Arguelles is one of the most con-
seryative and respected men identified
with the insurrection The rebels have
learned that the American volunteers are
returning to the United States and the
Filipino newspapers show that they con-
strue this to mean that the Americans
are abe ndoning the war and are en-.
couraged thereby.

Absolute Secrecy as to Dreyfus Is

information, says:
Everything is shrouded in mystery.
The cell of Dreyfus is well furnished, in
the usual style of officers quarters. 1t
has two windows, one of them overlook
ing the street. He will be suitably at
tended Distinction due to an officer OK
artillery will be scrupulously observed.
Nine. Dreyfus has not arrived. but is ex-
pected daily. M. Bausch, who has placed
his house at her disposal, is terrified at
the rancour of the 'anti-Dreyfusites. I
had the utmost difficulty in getting him
to speak. He says his house is watched
day and night, and he and his wife have
been insulted to such an extent that he
has had to challenge a local editor to
duel. The editor, however, prefers to
make a public apology. M. Bausch's APP
prehensions are mainly for Capt. Drey-
fus. as he believes that members OF the
patriotic league will attempt to assassin
ate him. He says the procurator general
has gone on mysterious journey, today,
which Mr. Bausch believes to mean tho
arrival of Dreyfus. Several notes of the
Patriotic society are posted here, and NJ
