MILLER WILL LAND.
Orders to that Effect Cabled from
Washin Cton.


Chicago, Jan. GA special to the
Times Herald from Washington, d. c.,
says:
president Mckinley has decided to
force the issue with the FilipinoS. His
decision may result in battle at Iloilo.
1t may lead to harassing war with the
natives of the Philippines The preSi-
dent has ordered General Miller to land
the American commander no alternative.
He is directed to be conciliatory toward
the natives, but at the same time he is
instructed to use force, if necessary, to
effect his landing and establish himself
in the desired camp. In other words,
General Miller is to act on the defen-
sive. He will not fire a gun unless at
tackled by the Filipinos.
General Millers troops have been
cooped up in transports for nine or ten
days. He has had several parleyS
with the insurgents who took possession
of IloiIo as soon as it was evacuated by
the SpaniardS and he has assured them
of the beneficent character of his mis-
sion. He has brought these considerate
negotiations to a climax by publishing
President McKinley's message of peace
and good will to the natives"
General Miller has about 5000 soldiers
at I1oilo. He will also have the support
of several gunboats, for Admiral Dewey
has notified Secretary Long of the navy
cord and the Petrol to join the naval
force under Colonel Dyer at Iloi1o. 1t
is not known how strong a, force the
insurgents have at that point The war
department has information which
seems to indicate the natives have only
about 900 stand of arms and it is as
sumed that fairly represents their fight
ing power at IlOilO. They have no mod
ern artillery while the American force
is well equipped in that respect. There
is no doubt of the ability of General
Miller to defeat the Filipinos in pitched
battle, but he has been warned not to

TO DESTROY ILoILo.
Insurgents Will Do Anything to Pre-
vent an American Landing.

Hong Kong, Jan. 6.-Leading repre-
sentatives of the Philippine junta in
Hong Kong, in the course of an inter-
view with the correspondent of the As
sociated Press, today declared that the
serious crisis in the Philippines is due
to what they designate as covert, un-
fair treatment of the Filipinos by the
United States" They said that despite
the known fact that the whole of the
Vizayas group was in possession of the
Filipino forces, General Otis was or
dered to take possession of the entire
archipelago and dispatched troops and
war ships to the southern Vizayas. The
FiIipinoS, according to the junta rep
reSentatiVeS are determined to prevent
the landing of the Americans at Iloilo
and may, as last resort, destroy the
city for strategical purposes.
The junta insists that a rupture of
the friendly relations now existing be-
tween the Filipino national govern
ment" and the American executive is
imminent and hostilities are probable
unless, what they characterize 1.-The un-
reasonable, unfair and overbearing
They say the Filipinos would deeply
regret such a rupture, but would ac-
cept it as inevitable
In concluding the interview the
spokesman of the junta representatives
said:
1.-The FiIipinos appeal to the Ameri-
can people to uphold the rights of man
kind and to avoid blOodShed, assuring
the Americans of our desire to complete
a friendly settlement through an inn
partial commission of inquiry.
1.-The Filipinos loyalty supported the
Americans against the common enemy,
and they now look to the American ma
tion to fulfill the promises made to
Aguinaldo at Singapore before he pro-
ceeded to assist Admiral Dewey. All
the FilipinoS ask is the trueSt and best
rights of mankind

STANLEY'S MESSAGE.
Contains 5000 Words and Has Gone
to the Printer

Wichita, Jan. 6.-Governor-elect Stan
ley's message has gone to the printer
and contains about 5000 words. Some
thing will be said about abolishing the
board of pardonS.
1t is pretty thoroughly believed that
some reference will be made to the
legislature asking for prison reforms
looking toward the reformation of pris-
oners rather than the punishment of
convicts to take them out of striped
clothing, giving the prisoners full credit
for meritorious conduct and the cancel
lation of the obnoxious title of reform
school," and further advocating some
kind of legislation for a kindergarten
for children criminals.
1t is said there will be some change
suggested In the doing away with the
executive clerkship.

DAMAGES FOR MRS. LAM0NDE.

The jury that heard the testimony in
Singer Machine company this after.
noon brought in a verdict in favor OF
sthe plaintiff and assessed damages at
$3.50. Mrs. Lamonde sued to recover
damages for an assault committed on
her by Mr.. McIsaacs, an agent OF the
company, who came to her house with
a deputy sheriff to remove a machine
There was testimony TO the effect that
Mrs Lamonde was pushed about sew
eral times and that inside of two weeks
a child was born dead. Her husband,
when he saw the trouble his wife waa
in over the machine, offered TO pay the
sum due thereon.
Walter +. Angel, counsel for the de-
fendant, when the testimony for the
plaintiff was all in asked for non-suit
on the ground that there has been no
evidence introduced TO show that Nc
lsaacs was at Mrs. Lamonde's as the
agent OF the defendant company, but
that the evidence did show he went
there at the request OF the deputy
sheriff. The agent of the company
on this occasion was the deputy
sheriff. who went armed with a writ of
replevin. Dennis J. Holland, who. with
Stephen j. Casey, was counsel for the
plaintiff, argued that the testimony
showed Mr.. McIsaacs directed thd
sheriff i'm the service OF the writ, had
taken the drawers out OF the machine
and had assaulted the plaintin before
the writ was served.
Judge Douglas thought there was
enough evidence OF agency to go TO the
