In 1852 he was appointed commander of the
Thirtieth Infantry Corps, at Metz: in March,
1883, was selected by Bismarck TO succeed

LINCOLN. Neb., Feb. civilian J.
Bryan expressed no surprise over the rati-
ication of the peace treaty and commented
briefly on the matter. When the Associated
Press correspondent asked him if the ratifi-
cation of the treaty would end the fight
against annexation of the Philippines he
said: Not by any means. While many
have thought that the fight should be made
against the treaty I have felt that the real
fight is to be made for a resolution declaring
the national policy. The opposition to the
treaty has served a useful purpose. and the
opponents of the ratification made a gallant
fight, but there was never any chance of
defeating ratification. Now that the treaty
is out of the way it can be treated as a
domestic question and the line can be drawn
between those who believe in forcible an
neXation and those who believe that the
Filipinos should be allowed to govern them
selves. | have not lost faith in the doctrine
of self-gOvernment and believe that the peo-
pie will repudiate the i~mperialistic policy.

highest towers to watch the bombardment
There were no street cars or carriages to be
seen. and the streets were almost deserted.
The Minnesota troops, acting as police,
searched every native and arrested many
of them. with the result that while there
were several attempts to assassinate Amer
lean officers on Saturday. there were none
on Sunday. Absolute order was maintained.
The United States flagship Olympia
steamed across the bay on Sunday morning
and took up a position near the German
cruiser Irene and the British cruiser Mar
cissus. off the Mole. She is still there. The
Americans are determined not to give the
Filipinos a chance to recuperate.
The official list of the dead and wounded
has not yet been submitted for publication,
and it is impossible. owing to the fact that
the regiments are scattered, to obtain a re-
liable list except from headquarters.
Two Filipino commissioners from Iloilo
and four rebel officers were arrested here
this morning after boarding the steamer
Uranus. Many suspects have been arrested
in various parts of the city.

treaty lights. Mr.. Morgan's prospecting
and exploring expedition, consisting of a
dozen British, American and Chinese Off
Gals, including Prof. Monroe Ferguson, the
scientist, of Pittsburg. started for SEE
Chaun on Jan. l.
William Pritchard Morgan, NJ. p, and his

hostilities will necessarily aggraNate the sit
uation of the Spaniards in the Philippines
The impartial says: The attack or
Manila was the judgment of God IN the
Americans, who, after despoiling Spain, are
beginning to feel the consequences. If only
the Spanish prisoners had been released we
should regard the affair with complete in
difference. The insurgents number $4,000
men, of whom 1000 are armed with Maus-
ers and 10000 are armed with Remingtons,
If they continue the struggle the Americans
will be driven out of the Philippine islands. "
To-day'S Cabinet session was chiefly de-
voted to a long discussion of Philippine mat
ters. General Correa, minister of war, ex-
pressed his pleasure at the good relations
existing between General Rios and General
Otis"
Dispatches from Manila describe a con-
ference between General Otis and Agui-
naldo, some days back, at which,
when Aguinaldo learned of the intention
Of the Americans to attack and capture
lloilo and other ports he declared that he
would begin hostilities if the United States
sent any enforcement TO the Philippines.
The conference failed To arrive at any I'M
deTstanding." According to the same dis
patches II would seem that the insurgents
lack ammunition, as they have beer seeking
TO purchase it everywhere and have been
Offering high prices. They recently gave
II out that General Rios had delivered to
them 5000 Mauser rifles and 3,000,0 0 cart
ridges in exchange for prisoners, but this
General Rios denies.

THE TENTH PENNSYLVANIA.
Friends of the keystone Fighters Re
Iieved of Anxiety.


PITTSBURG, Feb. 6.-The news Of the
battle at Manila caused much anxiety
throughout Washington. Fayette and West
moreland counties where the Tenth Regi-
ment was recruited. Receipt of the list of
killed and wounded brought relief inasmuch
as none of the boys of the Tenth were re-
ported seriously hurt. All on the list are
well known here except Joseph Sheldon,
of Company H, said to be from Washington.
AS no Sheldon is on the company roster,
the wounded man is supposed to be Ser
geant Joseph Shidler, son of a well-known
resident of Washington. Major Everhart
Bierer, of the Tenth, aged thirty-four years,
who was wounded, is the youngest son of
Captain John Pierer. of Uniontown, who
has another son, Captain Daniel Bierer, of
Company c, Tenth Regiment, in the fight at
Manila. Major Bierer entered the state
worked his way to major. He was in com
mand of the reserves that made the gallant
charge in the face of the enemy's CALLING
fire across an open field at the battle of
Malate, when the Tenth Regiment lost so
many men and so disastrously routed the
Spaniards. Major Bierer is a mining and
civil engineer by profession and when he
went to Manila resigned his position as
chief engineer for the Oliver q Snyder Coke
Company. He has a wife and five children.

FOREIGN COUNTERFEITERS.
Six SiciIians Held at New York for
Federal Examination.

NEW YORK. Feb. 6.-Six Sicilians were
arraigned before United States Commits
sioner Shields to-day, charged with uttering,
selling and having in their possession coun-
terfeit 81 and s. treasury notes. All We're
locked up to await examination on Saturday
next. The prisoners are, it is believed by
the police, all members of a gang that has
been operating in the larger cities of the
United States since April last. They are
Albert Anselmo, Giovanni Cinquemino,
Joseph Castelle, Giovanni Parretto, Giovanni
Pinnino and Mino Guido.
The capture Of these men was made by
secret service agents, who believe they have
all Of the rang. Castelle and Anselmo have
served time in prison in this State for coun-
terfeiting. When the rooms of C~inquemino
were searched, five photographic stones, from
which the police say the counterfeit bills
were printed, but from which the impression
had been removed, were found, together
with a lot of paper, ink and coloring matter
with which to stain the bills and give them
a time-worn appearance. The bogus bills
first appeared in St. Louis in April last, and
soon afterward they were afioat in this city,
Philadelphia and elswhere. 1t is estimated
that fully $751; 900 worth of these counterfeit
bills nave been put into circulation through
the medium of this gang.

REJECTED THE MEASURE
DEPUTIES DID NOT APPROVE THE
TRIAL REVISION BILL.
Decision of the Parliamentary Com
Forecast of VictOria's Speech.

PARIS. Feb. 6.-The parliamentary COM
%raittee, by a vote of 9 to 2, to-day rejected
the governments bill providing that all
cases of trial revision be brought before the
whole Court Of Cessation instead of before
the criminal section of that court. The
committees decision was reached after the
premier, NJ. Dupuy, had presented the gov
ernment's views and had strongly urged the
adoption of the bill. The committee also
resolved to publish all the documents con-
nected with the report of Mazau, first presi-
dent of the Court of Cessation, on his in
quiry into the charges of NJ. De Beaure-
paire.
NJ. Dupuy declares that the government
will resist all amendments to the revision
bill and make its passage a question of con-
fdence.

en- shells into the tower and roof. Company
L and part of Company G, of the. Cal
ifornians, charged into the church but were
unable to ascend the single flight of steep
steps leading to the stories above. After
the incendiaries had retired a company Of
the Idahos and the Washington Guards,
stationed on either side of the building,
picked off the F~ilipinos as they were smoked
out. Many of the rebels, however, escaped
into the brush in the rear of the church.
The Americans captured ffty-three of the
rebels, and during the fighting about the
church twenty of the rebels were killed.
Some $500 women. children and nocom-
batants were allowed to enter the American
lines. after promising to go TO the houses
of friends and remain there.
EXCITING INCIDENT.
Another intensely exciting incident oc-
CURED during the engagement. The Wash
ingtons and Idahos. and Companies X and
NJ. Of the CALIFORNIA;, made a charge across
the rice fields between Pace and Santana
in the face of a terrific fusillade. The
ground to-day, over (which they passed, is
covered with dead and wounded natives.
The former are being buried in groups of
five or six about where they lay, and the
latter are being brought to the hospital. 1t
was at this stage of the eghting and at
CaloOcan that the Filipinos suffered their
heaviest losses.
The Fourteenth regulars were in a par
ticularly tight place near Singalon and Col
onel Du Boce was compelled to rush past
them with the reserves In order to prevent
the regulars from being cut off. In the
last line twelve men were killed before the
rebels retired.
Both sides cheered frequently during the
engagement. The American 'hurrahs'
were almost invariably met by derisive
'~'vivas.' Among the natives the Ygorotes
were especially noticeable for their bravery,
about 200 of these naked savages facing
artillery fire with their lows and arrows.
The scene at Manila, when the alarm was
given on Saturday night, was wildly excit-
ing. The American soldiers in the theaters
and at the c~ircuses, were called out, the per-
formances were stopped, Filipinos scurried
everywhere and the rattle of musketry and
the booming Of canno outside the city was
plainly heard. The residents of the out
skirts Of Manila fiocked into the walled city
with their arms full Of articles. All car
riages disappeared as if by magic, street
cars were stopped, the telegraph lines were
cut and the soldiers hurriedly, but silently
marched out of the city to the stations as
signed to them. The stores were closed al
most instantly; foreign flags were to be
seen flying from many windows and a num-
Der of white rags were hung out from Fill
pino huts and houses.
On Sunday immense crowds of people Wis
tied the water front and gathered in the

THE QUEENS SPEECH.
What Her Majesty VIII Say to PnrIia-
ment To-day.

ment
LONDON Feb. 6.-The Queens speech at
the opening of Parliament tomorrow will
max the usual reference to the pacific re-
lations existing between Great Britain and
foreign countries, and will then deal with
the recent operations in the Sudan and with
the affairs in Crete, expressing the hope
that the Cretan question is in a fair way of
solution by the appointment of Prince
George of Greece as high commissioner of
the powers in Crete. The speech will also
refer to the invitation to attend the Cars
peace conference, which has been accepted,
and contains a very sympathetic reference
to the assassination Of the Empress of Aus
tria. 1t mentions the anarchist conference
at Rome and the probable necessity for the
alteration of the law of Great Britain with
respect to Anarchists is foreshadowed
The speech then expresses great concern
at the fact that the plague continues in
certain localities in India, and pays tribute
TO the efficacy of the measures taken to ex-
tirpate it and to the devotion of the Ofti-
Gals. Cape Colony is co~mplimented upon
its patriotism as demonstrated in the re-
cent vote for naval defense, and there are
very sympathetic illusions to the disaster
in the West Indies. Finally, the speech an
nounces that bills will be introduced for the
municipal government of London and for
the promotion of secondary education, etc.
The usual official banquets on the eve of
the opening of Parliament were given this
evening, with one exception. As the Lib
eral members of the House of Commons
had no official leader until this afternoon
they did not have a |banqueting host. Lord
Salisbury entertained the Conservative
peers, and the Earl of Kimberly, Liberal
leader in the House of Lords. entertained
the Liberal peers. The Conservative mem
bers of the House of Commons dined with
A. J. Balfour, first lord of the treasury.
while the Liberal Unionists were the guests
Of the Duke of Devonshire, lord president
Of the council of ministers. After the ban
quets the Duchess of Devonshire gave a
reception to the members of both parties.
