WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Wnen the sem

the final debate on the treaty. Aliens
resolution demanding the same treat
ment of Filipinos as had been accorded

his speech. He stated at the outset that
he would vote for the ratification of the
treaty. He disclaimed that he repre-

taken on the question. After explain
ing that ratification of the treaty and
territorial expansion were two different
things.
Allen eulogized the American soldiers

hight between the Americans and
Filipinos as an additional argument for
ratifying the treaty.

ADVANCE TO
BESIEGE. MANILA
But the Admiral and General Otis Have
the Situation Well in Hand-FOrty
Dead and $50 Wounded.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The following
cable was received from Admiral Dewey
today:
"MAN1LA, Feb. 6.-The insurgen is
have attacked Manila. Tne Boston
leaves today for Iloilo to relieve the Bal
timore, which will return to Manila.
Two men wounded yesterday on the
Monadnock, one of them seriously"
1t is believed this cable left Manila
more than twelve hours later than any
that has heretofore been published, and
the war department officials understand
from it that the insurgents have again
attacked Manila in force and are pur-
suing an aggressive policy, having
brought up their forces from the, rear.
Nobody at the department, however.
feels greatly alarmed over it.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Naval officers
are satisfied that Dewey means that the
scene of insurgent attack has been trans
ferred from the outposts to the city itseli
He has twenty-one vessels from which
he can land 1900 seasoned riflemen il
General Otis needs them. He can also
land rapid fire Calling Maxim guns
with their well-drilled crews.
His smaller gunboats can ascend the
Pasig river and penetrate the insurgent
lines.
The exchange of the Boston and Bal
timore is thought to indicate that Dewey
considers the situation serious, as the
Boston's machinery is not in good con-
dition; moreover, the Baltimore has
large lanGing force and greater rapid
fire battery.
The emphatic CONNECTION is expressed
that the insurgents easily can be beatel
back.
A prominent government official i
authority for the statement that German
agencies largely supplied the insurgent
with arms. He said that 5000 stand
of arms were secured in Hong Kong fo
Aguinaldo by German firm, and tha
the German consular agent there wa
instrumental in effecting their pur
chase.

Editor J. H. Wallis of the Washing
ton County News has arrived in the
city from st. George for the purpose
of attending conference. He reports
that the people of southern Utah are
elated over the construction of the
Utah & Pacific road, as they are now
within sixty miles of railway commu-
nication, instead of 100, as heretofore.
1t is believed that the abundant horti-
cultural products of the Dixie country
may possibly be marketed now in sue
cessful competition with California
fruits. Notwithstanding the long wagon
haul. The people of that section, how
ever, believe that the Rio Grande West

and that the extension will pass direct

ing fall. 1t is proposed to make it a
southern Utah event and of general
interest to the state at large.

Distribution Will Be Made Today By
State School Superintendent Park

The sum of $36,6S5O5, the state school
tax fund available for distribution under
date of March 81, will be apportioned to-
morrow by State Superintendent Park of
the department of public instruction to
the several counties and metropolitan
cities on basis of school population. The
county superintendent will re-divide the
fund among the districts. By the last
enumeration the number of children of
school age in the state is S3,113, and APP
portionment is at the rate of A cents per
capita.
The apportionmentS of Dec. 81 was of
S2.97 per capita; that of Oct. 81, 6 cents,
ard the one of March 81, 1898. 81 cents.
The comparative reduction in.athis APP
portionment is due to the fact that the
collection and remitlances by county
treasurers of last years taxes for the
state school fund at the end of December
were nearer to the maximum than at any
time in recent years.
Under the new law hereafter apportion-
nents of state school moneys will be
made only Immediately after March 81
and Dec. 81 of each year. the distribution
of Oct. 81 having been rescinded on ac-
count of it's preceding the date of tax

Indictments Found Against Thirteen
South Carolinans.

Charleston, S. c., April I'm the
United States circuit court here today,
Judge w. B. Brawley presiding. true
bill was found by the grand jury
against thirteen of the men accused of
lynching Postmaster Frazer 3. Baker,
a negro at Lake City, S. c., on Feb. %,
1898. Fifteen men are under arrest,
but no explanation of the dropping of
two names from the indictment was
given.
Before giving the case out, Judge
Brawley delivered an impressive
charge. The crime was one of the
blacklist ever perpetrated in South
Carolina, he said, and it was the duty
of the government to prosecute to the
fullest extent any or all of the men
who might have been implicated in it's
commission.
The jury retired, and brought in the
bill after being out less than an hour.
The men on trial are: Martin Ward,
w. A. Webster, Ezra Mcknight. Henry
Stokes, Henry Goodwin, Moultrie Epps,
Charles D. Jayner, oscar Kelly, Marion
Clark, Alonzo Rodgers, Edwin NJ. Rod
gers, Joseph P. Newhall and Early p.
Lee, merchants and farmers of Lake
City and vicinity. The last two men
toned have turned states evidence.
The trial will begin on Monday. Ex
Attorney General w. A. Barber and
j. P. Kennedy Bryan of the Charleston
bar will assist the prosecution.

for the state to prove.
Briefly summarized, this is that on the

the same time went to point near there

peared in the darkness. He claims Mrs
Georges fingers were blackened with
burned powder when arrested, and that
she had not only threatened to kill Sax

that she had outlined her plans to an
other party He also says that he cares
not what relations are shown to have
existed between the two that they were
not such as to have justified the crime on
the evening of Oct. 6. 1898. In connection
with these relations he rferred TO the
accused as an adventures, pure and

THE NAUvOO LEGION.
The history of the Nauvoo Legion is
inseparably bound up with that of the
people of Utah. 1t was organized in
1S43 and furnished men at every emer-
gency confronted by the people on their
journey to their new home, and there
after. It's veterans now include the
oldest and best citizens of the state. In
1852 the officers and men of the Legion
were reorganized for service in Utah,
and, naturally. developed into the state
militia. In 1870 it was virtually abol-
ished but only went out of official ex-
istence in March, 1887.

far brighter than it has been in past
years. The population of the colony is
rapidly growing, and bids fair to be-
come as great as that of any other
stake located at a like distance from
Salt Lake.
1.-THE people of Mexico" said Presi-
dent WINS last evening, ARE becoming
more acquainted with Mormonism, and
the baptisms into the fold during the
past year or more have been surprising
in their proportions. Our people, on
the other hand, are showing a true
friendship for the Mexican people, and
the best of feeling prevails among all.
''Our population has increased by a
third, l might say, since 1895, and a
great many of the newcomers are
emigrants from Utah. These have been
welcomely received in our midst, and
the people of our faith show a manifest
determination to stand together and
make our colony an important factor
in Zion We have excellent schools for
our children.
THE country is fertile and the people
are mostly engaged in farming. Great
interest is attached to the question of
irrigation, and the prospect for i'm
provement of the present advantages
is very good.

WINS, "the Saints in our stake are
prospecting and the work of God is
going steadily forward there. 1 hear

that the extreme drouth of the winter

the farms difficult. In the southern
part of Carbon county, in Emery and
in other southern counties, the ground
is so hard" he said yesterday, that it
will have. to be irrigated before spring
blowing can be done. There is plenty
of snow in the mountains, however; as
much as any spring for ten years past,
and this gives an assurance of good
crops after the difficulty of getting the
