CLUBS Will NOT REfORM BOYS.

The action Of Judge Hanecy In hold.
Ing one Of the guards ut the John
Worthy School to the Grand Jury for
brutnlly assaulting 12.year.old boy
may be regarded as one Of the fruits
Of the new juvenile court law passed
by the last Legislature.
While II II true that the new law con.
fers no new powers upon the courts In
the matter OF punishing officers for
maltreating Juvenile offenders commit
ted to their charge. the moral effect Of
the law will be such that hereafter Il
guard or custodian Of delinquent chill
dren who uses violent or cruel meas.
ures with them will do 80 ut his peril.
The Chicago boy IL to have his day In
court-a court established expressly
for his benefit-and he Is to be tried,
not rs hardened criminal, but as q
boy. with the heart and mind Of boy,
whose waywartlness IL nearly always
the result ola misdirection of his boyish
energies and capabilities for which par.
ents are directly responsible.
The evidence submitted to Judge
Hnnecy showed that guard ut the
John Worthy School had knocked down
the little lad, had struck him with a
heavy stick and pushed him against a
stone wall SO hard that It partly stun.
ned him. When he came to conscious.
ness he found himself In u dark cell
under the school. He cried three hours
before he was taken out and placed In
a dormitory, where his wounds We're
dressed.
No matter how incorriglble or vicious
this particular 12.year.old offender may
have been, such brutality Is absolutely
without defense and calls for the Sc.
verest condemnation ana punishment.
Even II only half the allegations are
true. the treatment Of the Lad was
shocklngly brutal and disgrace to any
institution that pretends to exercise
any reformatory influence over boys.
Juvenile offenders cannot he reform
cd by clubs and dark cells. These are
the implements for the manufacture
of criminals. An institution that per-
mits their use upon 12-year-Old boys,
under any circumstances, no matter
how exasperating the offense, should
me wiped out Of existence. A boy Is a
boy and club on his head Will not
make a man Of him.-Times.Herald,

TO SUCCEED M'coMAs
4. NJ Clabaugh to Go on the District
Supreme Bench.

The place on the Supreme bench of the
District of Columbia, to be vacated by
Judge Louis E. McComas, the newly elected
senator from Maryland, will be filled, it is
learned from reliable sources, by Attorney
General Harry NJ Claybaugh, also of
Maryland.
Judge McComas was in Conference with
President Mckinley last Saturday after
noon, and later the fact that Attorney Cen
eral Clabaugh had been determined on was
learned.
Judge McComas, when questioned, denied
that the appointment had been made, but
said he felt confident it would go to Mr..
Clabaugh. He said that the President will
act in the matter possibly in weeks time,
but certainly before two weeks expire. 1t
slated for the place In fact, it is asserted
the arrangement was effected soon after
the nomination of Maryland federal officers.
MIR. CIabaugh's Career.
Mr.. Clabaugh is a warm personal friend
of Judge McComas, and has gained repu-
tation in politics and law. He was born at
Cumberland, Md, July 16, 1856, and lived
there until 1862, when his father, the late
G. w. Clabaugh, moved his family to Bal
timore, and then, in 1878, to Carroll county.
Mr.. Clabaugh was sent to the Pennsylvania
College, and Gettysburg, and graduated in
1877. In the following year he graduated
In law from the University of Maryland.

Baltimore, and entered upon the practice
OF his profession in that city, but. on the
death of his father in 1880, he moved to
Carroll county, where he has since lived, a
lawyer and farmer. Mr. Clabaugh has
been a prominent republican in Maryland.
DE was delegate to the national conven-
tion at Chicago in 1884 which nominated
James 6. Blaine for the presidency. year
or two later he was the nominee for the
state senate from Carroll county, but was
defeated by Pinkney ]. Bennett After the
selection of William J. Vannort as republi-
can candidate for governor in 1891 Mr..
Clabaugh was unanimously chosen chair
man of the republican state central COM
mittee of Maryland. He was reelected
four years ago, and had an active share in
directing the movement of the party lead
ing up to the convention of 1895, at which
he was nominated attorney general. He
has an office In Baltimore with George R.
Gather, jr., also a prominent politician.

4 Message From AguinaIdo.
SENATOR HALE'S STATEMENT.
He Claims That the Treaty Trainers
Are Responsible.

Senator Hale today gave out his impress
sion concerning the effect of the battle of
Manila the peace treaty. He said: Il
am not surprised at the occurrence. If the
treaty had been made as it ought to have
been made, putting the Philippines on the
same basis as Cuba, no trouble would have
arisen, or if the managers of the treaty
had consented to an amendment on this
line there would have been no trouble of
this kind. Or, still further, if they had
agreed to the passage of a joint resolution
declaring that Congress did not expect per
manent occupation trouble would have been
avoided. But the truth is that underneath
the expansion newspapers and back of the
movements of the leaders of the expansion
cause lies the determination to be content
with nothing but permanent annexation.
This means a protracted war of SubJuga-
ton against the people of the Philippine
Islands. The ratification of the treaty
means, not peace but immediate war. We
must send more troops and more ships to
Manila and must undertake the immense
job of conquering the people who are try
ing to establish government Of their own.
Some of US have warned the expansion
lists against this from the beginning, and
We have foreseen the consequences of re-
fusal to accept the warning. l am very
sorry that the trouble has come about, but
is was inevitable from the day that our
commissioners 10 the Paris conference de-
pines TO the United States, instead of ask
ing her to abandon her own sovereignty
and leave the matter of the government of
those islands to the inhabitants of them,
as in the case of Cuba.
THE battle ought to have the effect of
making men think twice before going an
other step in course that involves all the
evils L have alluded to. Ratification means
annexation, and annexation means war.
referring 10 alleged dispatch from
Augusta, Me, printed in Il Washington pa
per, asserting that letters and kilograms
have been sent to me, urging me to vote
for the treaty, / would say that there is no
foundation whatever for the statements
therein made. In all the letters L have re-
ceived from Maine, numbering perhaps 100
in the last few days, only TWO have urged
me to vote for the treaty. The rest have
all recommended a contrary course Gov
ernor Powers wrote NE ten days ago favor
ing ratification, but he has not teIesraDhed
me as represented, nor have | heard any
thing from MIR. Manly or DR.. Hill. who are
represented to have wired me in the inter
est of the treaty. The dispatch bears evil
dence Of having been made, not in Augusta
but in Washington"
Mr. Hale said further that he had not
changed his attitude toward the treaty and
he did not think there could be any doubt
as TO how his vote would be cast on the
ratification resolution.

Gen. Henry Substitutes Three Depart
ments In Lien of 1t.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, February g.
Governor General Henry has ordered the
dissolution of the insular cabinet and sub
stitutes for it the following departments:
State, justice, finance and, interior.
The order announces that, 1t having be-
come evident to General Henry, after a
careful trial of two months, that the in
sular cabinet does not correspond with
American methods Of progress, he declares
its dissolution.
The members of the cabinet tandered
their designations to Gen. Henry on Satur-
day, but the designations were held In
aheyance. The heads of the nav depart
merts will confine their duties to their de-
partments, and the governor general will
preside and give instructions directly to the
heads of these departments.
Heads of the new departments who OBJ
ject to the introduction of. American meth
DDS and to investigation OF their depart
ments will be relieved and the vacancies
Will be filled by the appointment Of the
most competent persons, irrespective OF
party affiliations.
General Henrys action in removing the
insular cabinet was impeIled by the dis
position OF the members to disregard him
and by their objection te the temporary
substitution of American officers in the de-
partment OF public instruction and in the
department of public works, both of which
departments belong to the Interior Depart
ment. In accordance with the generals best
judgment as to the policy to be followed.

DEWEY MAY SHE'LL MANILA.
Insurgents Warned to Keep Out of
That City.

HONG KONG, February 6.-The following
dispatch was received here from Manila
before the outbreak there occurred:
Rear Admiral Dewey, in an interview
said the Monadnock is guarding one end
of the city, the Monterey the other, and the
army protects the rear lie added that he
had sent word to Aguinaldo that If the in
surgents entered Manila, he would reduce
it to mortar and stone.
The insurgents are an armed mob, the
dispatch adds, incapable Of government,
and are angry with Admiral Dewey for
seizing vessels flying Filipino flags.
The admiral, the correspondent says Is
not favorable to annexation, but he believes
in the gradual Withdrawal of the United
States troops. He also says the United
States is morally bound TO establish a sta
Bile government in the Philippines.

TREATY RATIFIED
Senate Endorses the
Peace Commission.
ADMINISTRATION SUSTAINED
Some Previously Classed as
Doubtful Voted in Favor.
NECESSARY TWO-4HIRDS SECURED

The peace treaty, which has been before
the Senate SO long, and the terms of which
have been so sharply discussed, has finally
been ratified, receiving the necessary two
thirds votes. In the early hours of the
session it was said that a canvass of the
senators showed that the treaty would be
defeated, but Senator Davis and those who
have been the administrations most active
supporters declared that when the time for
voting came it would be found that the
treaty would be ratified. This proved to be
the case, and although the opposition led
by Senators German and Hoar fought every
inch of ground they were finally outvoted
and the treaty was ratified.
The treaty was ratified by thre majority.

THE FIGHT IN DETAIL
Troops Which Were Engaged in the
Encounter Near Manila.
FILIPINOS MADE AGGRESSIVE ATTACK
American Soldiers Responded by
Vigorous Onslaught on Them.
SITUATION NOW QUIET

| MANILA. February g. 7:l5 p.m.-Owing
to the area embraced in the scene OF Sun
| days engagement-a semicircle Of fully
| seventeen miles-details regarding individ-
ual fighting have been extremely difficult
to obtain. So far as can be gathered the
| brush commenced at S:45 Saturday even
| ing by the firing of a Nebraska sentry at
Santa Mesa upon Filipinos who were DELHI
erately crossing the line. after repeated
warnings. with the evident purpose OF
| drawing our fire.
The first shot from the American sentry
| was evidently accepted as a prearrangcd
| signal for ii was followed almost immedi-
ately by terrific fusillade along the entire
| Filipino line on the north side Of the Pasig
| river. The American outposts returned the
fire with such vigor that the Filipino fire
was checked until the arrival OF reinforce
ments.
All the troops in the vicinity were hurried
out and the Filipinos ceased firing for half
an hour, while their own reinforcements
| came up.
The Fighting Resumed.
At 10 o'clock the fighting was resumed,
the American firing line consisting of the
Sd Artillery, the Kansas and Montana regi-
ments, the Minnesota regiment, the Penn
SAlNSllld regiment, the NGDfdshdilt the
Utah battery. the Idahos. the Washingtons,
the Californians, the 4th Cavalry. North
Dakota volunteers, 9th Artillery, 14th In
fantry and the South Dakota and Colorado
regiments in Manila The Filipinos con-
centrated their forces at three points, Cal
cacan, Santa Mesa and Galingatan. and
maintained an intermittent fusillade for
some hours.
They brought artillery into action at
Galngatan at l0:30 o'clock, but only one
gun annoyed the Americans to any appre-
ciable extent-a howitzer on the road be-
yond Santa Mesa.
The 81 Artillery silenced the Galngatan
battery by firing tWo guns simultaneously,
which was followed Immediately by volleys
from the infantry.
LuiI i'm the Firing.
At about midnight there was a lull in the
| firing lasting until 3:45 am. when the
| whole Filipino line reopened fire. The
| Americans poured terrific fire into the
darkness for twenty minutes. and then
there was another lull until daylight, when
the Americans generally advanced.
During the night, in response to Rear
Admiral Dewey's signals flashed across
from Cavite, the United States cruiser
Charleston and the gunboat Concord, sta
toned at Malabon, poured deadly lire
from their secondary batteries into the
Filipino treanches at Caloocan.
After daylight the United States double
turret seagoing monitor Monadnock opened
fire off Malate and kept Smelling the Fill
pinos' left flank. while the other vessels
shelled the enemy's right flank for several
hours.
BY 10 o'clock the Americans had appar-
entity completely routed the enemy and had
taken the villages of Palawhong, Santa
Mesa. Paco, Santana, San Pedro, Macorte,

LONDON PRESS COMMENTS.
All Agree That the Filipinos Made
Serious Mistake.

LONDON, February 6.-The afternoon
| newspapers here agree that the Ffipinos
have made a fatal error, and they say they
are convinced the Americans win not allow
the trouble to influence their policy.
The Pan Mall Gazette says:
Aguinaldo and his merry men have not
displayed clear conception of the Ame-i-
can character. We take it for granted that
there will be no looking back now until
America has plowed the Philippine fur1ow
right through, although the job is likely to
be long and troublesome.
The Globe says:
Americas mistake has been in attempt
ing to perform a big job with small m ans.
Now that this has led to the customary
cons equences, it may be safely assumed
that the United States viii place such an
oVerpowering force in the field TO beat
down amy opposition.
Madrid ImparciaI's Views.
MADRID, February G.-The impartial

THE attack on Manila was the Judgment
of God upon the Americans, who, after
despoiling Spain, are beginning to feel the
consequences. If only the Spanish pris-
oners had been released we should regard
the affair with complete indifference.

which 1000 are armed with Mausers and

The Flight.

As If forewarned of the attack to be made
at Manila, Agoncillo, the head of the Phil
ippine junta in this city. fled from here at
11:5O o'clock Saturday night. Accompanied
by Senor Marti Burgos of the Philippine
delegation, he took the train to New York
Montreal.
They We're observed throughout their
journey by officers of the United States
secret service and could have been taken
at any time while they remained within the
borders of this country.
Although Agoncillo boasted on the way
that he purposes to return at once to this
country from Montreal it is almost certain
that he will not again attempt TO enter
American territory. If he does he VIII very
likely be placed under arrest, as it was un-
officially stated at the Attorney Generals
office today that Agoncillo and his asso-
cates are held to be participants in Agui-
naldos rebelious action. Nevertheless he

molcsted, as the government felt that the
easiest course was to permit them and in

Carefully ShadOwed.
Chief Wilkie of the secret service bureau
stated to Star reporter today that ever
since the Philippine delegation has been in
this country it has been carefully watched
by the men in his department. He knew
that Agoncillo and Marti were going away
last SATURDAY, ana MS agent was present
when the tickets to Montreal were pur-
chased. He said that these two made no
effort to conceal their destination, although
1T is a fact that the others of the deega-
ton Informed inquirers that the fugitives
had gone only to Baltimore and would be
certain to return last night or this morn
ing. Agoncillo's tickets We're purchased
Though to Montreal.
Chief Wilkie stated that they were kept
constantly under scrutiny while they were
Fastening Forth, and that at any time had
1t been desired they could have been placed
in custody without trouble He was in
frequent communication with his agents,
and soon as the frightened Fflipinos
reached Montreal he was informed.
No Comment at War Department
The news of Agoncillo's fight to Mont
real was received with interest at the War
Department, but no one in that department
would venture any comment upon 1t or
speculate as to what action, If any, would
be taken by this government in the case
of the Filipino representative. 1t Is thought
however, but little Importance attaches to
his presence IN Canada, much less So in
fact, than to the information bureau es-
tabliShed there last summer by the eX-
Spanish minister. Senor Polo Bernabe
The situation now is very different from
the early days of the Spanish war. The
distance of Manila from Washington Is SO
great that comparatively little control will
be exercised by the Washington authorities
over the actual military and naval moves
on the checker board of war, and what
information Agoncillo might furnish to his
friends in the Philippines would be of little
aid to them. The possibility of his engin-
eering any flibustering expeditions from
