SITUATION CRITICAL.
insurgents Surround Manila Waiting to
Attack American Forces.

insurgents Surround Manila Waiting to
Attack American Forces.
Manila, Jan. 1.-THE situation here
Is undoubtedly critical, but Major
General Otis has it well in hand and
there is no such certainty OF trouble as
many believe. The rebels are concen-
trated on the outskirts of the town and
their leaders have issued strict orders
that they shall act only on the defen-
sive.
An accident might precipitate
trouble. but the idea of rebel attack
upon Manila is ridiculous, as the
Americans control the position.
On Wednesday false alarm, due to
trivial incidents occurring simultane-
ously in opposite parts of the city, led
to general call to the United States
forces. In fifteen minutes the entire
city was covered. The promptitude of
the Americans, while it created scare
for the moment, etfectually restored
confidence throughout Manila and dis
PEELED the excitement due to passing
fear on the part of citizens that an out
break was imminent
1t is possible that the Filipinos, after
the diplomatic conferences that have
been held between the representatives
of General Otis and Aguinaldo, have
finally come to understand that the
cautious and conservative policy of the
Americans is not due to fear, and they
may accept the inevitable with good
grace. 1t is evident that at present
they are unable to appreciate the full
meaning of the independence demand
ed, and when they do understand its
extent. the American proposition will
be acceptable.

FRANCE THREATENS CHINA.
VIII Send An Armed Force to Rescue
Father F1eury.

Vancouver, B. c., JAN 13.-Advices
from the Orient, brought by the steam
err Empress of Japan, indicate that the
relations between China and France
are very strained, and the Chinese are
trying to keep on the best side of the
British. 1t is reported from Pekin that
Russia has demanded a lease of the
Mao Tao islands as a torpedo station.
These islands lie across the entrance
of the Gulf of Pc Che Ii. south of Port
Arthur. The acquisition of these is
lands would still further strengthen
Russia's hold upon the approaches to
Pekin.
1t is reported that the French have
sent China an ultimatum, threatening
to send an armed force from Tongking
into SEE Chuan to rescue unfortunate

Vancouver, B. c., JAM, 14.-Japanese
papers to hand by the steamship EN-

with Hon. John Barrett, recently
United States minister to Siam, on the

Russia and France, whose policy APP

elusive control of vast areas of Chinese
territory and 10 close these areas to I'M

fronted by pressure impossible to
resist and would find themselves COM
PEELED to guarantee with their spheres
of influence the maintenance OF equal
trade rights conferred by existing
treaties between China and foreign

NO FIGHTING AT ILOILO.
But Filipinos Are Making Preparations
Night and Day.

Manila, Jan. 14.-The situation at
Iloilo is unchanged. The Filipinos are
increasingly active night and day. On
Saturday they loaded some lighters
with rock and sank them at the en-
trance of the river. blockading the
channel for all vessels, with the excep-
ton of launches. Order, however, is
maintained with severity. and offenders
are promptly shot
The Filipinos refuse to have any
dealings with the Americans; vege-
tables and fruits are not obtainable,
business is suspended, and the ware
houses are filled with rotting sugar.
At Manila the situation is critical,
but pacifcation is possible. 1t is re-
ported that the rebel governor at Ma
lolos is willing that the Americans
should establish protectorate, on the
condition that they promise to give the
Filipinos absolute independence within
stated time.

ing regained. All the members of his
family were at his bedside.
To within few hours before his
death the family firmly believed. as it
has throughout his illness, that Mr..
Dingley would recover. While the past
few days have given great hope of re-
covery, the progress of the disease had
made the patient dangerously weak,
and had seriously affected his heart.
He served one term as governor of his
state and has been member of con-
gress from the Second district of Maine
since 1881. He was the father of the
Dingley tariff law. and was a student
of economics.

in the supreme court to recover the

claim to have deposited with Mr. Wild

beers of the committee further allege
that sensational disclosures are prob

American government recognized the
Filipinos as belligerents by affording
them assistance in arms and moral in

Rebel Against American Rule


Madrid, Jan. 13.-General Rios, the
Spanish commander, has reiterated the
assertion that the situation in the Phil

rebels, he says, are concentrating In
the neighborhood of Manila, with the
intention of attacking the place. Great

The Spanish general also asserts that
the natives of the Visayas have again
refused to permit the Americans to

an attempt is made to do so. The
Americans, therefore, according to
General Rios, have abandoded the idea
of disem barking, and he confirms a

CALLED MILES A LIAR.
GENERAL EAGAN MAKES SOME
SERIOUS CHARGES.
Declares That Miles Is Burden to the
War Department and Should be Barred
From the Society of Decent People

Washington, Jan. l4.-In his sworn
testimony before the army investiga-
ton commission, Commissary General
Eagan thus referred to Major General
Nelson A. Miles, commanding the
army:
"When General Miles says this beef
was furnished under pretense of an
experiment, he lies in his throat, he
lies in his heart, he lies in every hair
of his head and every pore of his body,
he lies wilfully, deliberately, inten-
tionally and maliciously.
SIN denouncing General Miles as a
liar, wish to make it as emphatic and
coarse as the statement itself / wish
to force the lie back into his throat
covered with the contents of the camp
1atrine.
UNLESS he can prove his statements
he should be driven out of the clubs,
barred from the society of decent peo-
pie and so ostracised that the street
bootblack would not condescend to
speak to him.
HE lied with as black heart as
the man who blew up the Maine, and
he deserves to be characterized and
known to America and Europe as be-
ing the colossal, prodigious liar of the
nineteenth century,"
