Washington, Jan. 29.-The situation
At Manila is reported as critical, but
the officials see no reason why they
cannot command it for time at least.
General Otis has reported, in connec-
ton with some matters connected with
the shipment home of some sick Span
ish soldiers, taat he could hold out be-
yond doubt until his reinforcements
arrived, and added that - the news
had reached Manila that there was
every prospecs that the peace treaty
would DO soon ratified by the United
states senate, the effect on the natixa
element had been Satisfactory.

the Philippines.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The president
yesterday sent to the senate cores
pondence on file in the state depart
ment bearing upon the peace treaty,

commissioners to the president and
from the president to the commission
ers, The documents are numerous, as

cablegrams from the president in

the closest attention from senators.
In submitting the papers the presi-
dent sent brief message, saying he

Gomez to DIsbsnd His Forces.
Havana, Feb. 1.-President McKin-
ley is understood to have empowered
Robert p. Porter to arrange for the
disbursement OF 81, 900. 900 among the
Cuban soldiers Mr.. Porter will prob
ably go with Senior Gonzales de
Qucsada TO Remedies to meet General
Maxine Gomez TO persuade the Cuban
commander-in-chief TO disband his
forces and to lend his influence to the
United States military administration.
Senior Castillo, who has returned
from Remedies. after two days visit
with General Gomez, says the latter is
much hurt by what he regards as
American neglect of his authority and
rights, and IL determined not to advise
his soldiers to go home penniless.
Gomez purposes coming into the neigh
borhood soon, and will review the
Cuban troops at Mariana, though the
date has not yet been fixed. There is
some doubt whether he and the other
military chiefs will accept the $1,000
600, no matter what other favorable
conditions may be offered. Mr.. Porter,
who, 1t Is understood, will act as the
representative Of President
Mckinley in the negotiations, has been
directed 10 learn the best terms that
ian be made and is empowered to pro-
bose what 1t is hoped will be agree
bile. Much is expected of the assist
nee he will receive, when approaching
General Gomez, from Senior Miguel
'omez and Senior de Quesada.

CARRIERS TO REGISTEn MAIL.
New Service to Be Inaugurated in Resi-
dence Districts.

Washington, Dec. THE postmas-
ter general has issued a general order
announcing the determination of the
department to provide for the registra-
ton Of valuable letters, or first class
matter, by letter carriers on their
routes in free delivery cities. This new
service will be inaugurated in some
of the leading cities and extended to
Others as rapidly as possible. At first
it will be confined to the purely resi-
Dental districts, excluding business
houses and individuals who have large
numbers of letters for registration at
any n time. The extension of the
system to the business districts is left
TO the discretion of the postmaster.
The postmaster general has received
information that some of the postmas-
tiers and employees, in order to avoid
the labor involved, are advising the
public that the registered mails are not
safe means of transportation of valua-
Bile matter and he has given warning
in a vigorous issued today that such
disregard of duty will be sufficient
ground for removal from office.

THE FOX is TOO SLY
Expectations of Catching Agulnaldo in
the North Practically Abandoned.

Manila, Dec. THE expectation of
catching Aguinaldo in the north has
been practically abandoned, and the
probability now is he will turn south
ward, If he is not already there, with
his destination, Cavite province, his
home, where the Instruction began,
and where it still has its greatest
strength.
Filipino soldiers in hat province re-
Gently have been showing increased en-
thusiasm and boldness, and captured
insurgents say Aguinaldo is coming to
join them with a large army. The same
belief prevails among the natives at
Manila and elsewhere hat A%guinaldo
intends to make his headquarters in
Cavite province.
There are 5000 insurgents before
linus n Bacoor, keeping the Amer
leans sleeping on their arms and night
ly awaiting an attack. The Filipinos
have several cannon. The first mayor

Three soldiers of the Fourth infantry
have deserted and are now with the
enemy. Most of the inhabitants or
linus are so strong in their sympathy
with the Insurgents that it is neces-
sary to use part of a regiment to patrol
the streets and prevent shooting from
houses whenever an attack begins.
The American forces in the north
have separated into many small com
mands and are pursuing bands of Fill
ipinos. Gen. Macarthur is engaged in
clearing the mountain country west of
the Manila-Dagupan railroad. Gen.
Grant is moving from Angeles coward

The nineteenth century closes with
the year 1900. Immediately after mid
night, therefore, of Dec. 81, 1900, is
when the twentieth century begins. In
other words, 1t begins with the first
second of the first hour of the first day
Of January, 1901. The twentieth CEN
fury will open on a Tuesday and closes
on a Sunday. 1t will have the greatest
number Of leap years possible for a
century-twenty-four. The yea 1904
will be the first one, hen every fourth
year after that to and including the
year 1000. February will three times
have five Sundays-in 1920, 1s4S and
1876. The twentieth century will con
tain 36,525 days. which lacks but one
day of being exactly 5,218 weeks. The
middle day Of the century will be Jan.
/, 1851. Several announcements are
made Of changes to be insugurated
with the opening Of the new century.
The first Of importance is that Russia
will adopt the Gregorian calendar.
This will be done by emitting thirteen
days, the amount Of error that will
have accumulated after the close Of
February, 1900. The Russians will
then write Jan. 1. 1901. instead Of
Dec. 10, 1900, or rather. instead of both.
according to the dual system now in
vogue In that country and In Greece.
The other important announcement is
that 1t is not at all unlikely that the
astronomical day, which now begins at
noon Of the civil days, will begin with
the civil day, at midnight. The pres
ent method of having the astronomical
day to begin twelve hours after the
beginning of the civil day is apt to be
confusing. On the other hand. to have
the former begin at midnight. just
when astronomers are often busiest,
will be to them somewhat inconven-
lent,
