so-called Filipino government, says the gov
errors of ell the provinces of the Island of
Luzon have assembled at Malolos for the
purpose of offering their lives and property
in adhesion TO the policy of the President
and government. Continuing the dispatch
says: ''They say they fought only for the
independence of the FiIipinos, and are not
willing to surrender to strangers"
Commenting on President McKinley's
proclamation to the Filipinos, issued on
Wednesday by General Otis the indie
pendencia, which is native paper, says
the problem presented is most grave. 1t
admits that there only two solutions
possible, namely the Americans abandon
ment of their annexation policy, claiming
that the people are not DESTROYS of absorp-
ton into their nationality, or a prolonged
and bloody war. 1t cites the example of
the noble patriots of Iloilo defying Cen
eral Miller" expresses hope for a pacific
termination of the crisis, but hints of
trouble.
The official organ, the Republica is less
aggressive, but it is indisposed to accept the
suggestions of General Otis in their en-
tirety. The Spanish papers are evidently
afraid to comment on the situation

WILL BE DISBANDED.
Division of the Army Into Seven Corps
No Longer Practicable.

No Longer Practicable.
NEW YORK, Jan. "a dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Secretary
Alger will soon issue an order formally dis
banding the seven army corps organized
during the war. These corps are still in ex-
istence, but the dispatch of troops to Cuba
and Porto Rico has so reduced the force of
several of them that only a few regiments
represent corps. The First and Seventh
corps are now in Cuba, but as the island
has been subdivided into seven departments
the corps are practically no longer recog-
niZed such. The Second and Fourth
corps. whose headquarters are at Augusta,
Ga. and Huntsville, Ala, are practically
diSbanded. Instructions have been given TO
al commanding officers of regiments to
grant discharges to such enlisted men who
request it and who enlisted in the regular
army for one year. The six regiments which
are going TO the Philippines especially
receiving the attention of the department
IN this respect, and before they start the
commands will be made up OF men who
have enlisted for three years. The officials
have found that the men are making money
by applying for discharges and then secur-
ing clothing and travel allowances. When
discharged and after the receipt of their ale
lowances they apply for re-enlistment for
three years and obtain the advantage of in
creased pay.

which is said to be success in every par
ticular, and will, it is believed, revolutionize

money have been expended and premiums
have been offered by governments, they
have not been successful The machine can
be operated by a BOY and has a capacity of
four hundred pounds a day, against two
pounds per day, which is the output of a
man in China The capacity of the ma

Comments on General Otis's PrOcIa-
matiOn-TrOubIe Predicted by the
Editor of Independcncia.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Senor Agoncillo,
who Is in Washington as the representative
of the Philippine government has asked to
be recognized by the United States as such
and to be accorded the same rights as other
diplomats. His request is now in the
hands of Secretary Hay. To-day Don Sixto
Lopez, the private secretary of Senior Agon-
clio, visited the State Department and pre-
scented to the officials a letter to Secretary
Hay requesting, upon behalf of Senior Agon-
clio, an interview for the purpose of ar
ranging to present his credentials to Presi-
dent Mckinley, and inquiring when it would
meet the convenience of the President to
meet the Philippines representative.
The letter of Senior Lopez further states
that ne is instructed by Senior Agoncillo, in
view of recent developments, to urge the adj
visibility of an understanding between the
American government and the representa-
tive of the Philippine people as to the rela-
tions between the respective nations; such
an understanding to be reached either at
Washington through the joint representa-
tives of the two governments, or in the
Philippine islands in like manner. The let
ter concludes with an expression of the
earnest hope that the friendly relations be-
tween the two peoples may ever be main
tanned.
Accompanying the letter is a memoran-
DUN setting forth the establishment of the
Philippine republic and the provision for
detailed system of government. From the
facts submitted, says Senior Agoncillo, lit
will appear that the Philippine government
is now as it has been practically ever since
June IS, 1898, substantially in full possession
of the territory of the people it repre-
sents."s
The representatives of the Philippine gov
eminent will now await action upon the re-
quest made to-day. 1t is their desire that
the United States appoint a commission to
hold a conference for the purpose of dis

Bnnd Boonc,s Conccr,

The hnest musical entertainment
which it has been the pleasure Of Kim.
ball people to listen to for some time
was that given by Blind Boone, pianist.
and Miss Josephine Rivers, vocalist, at
the O%pera-honse last night.
Without q doubt, Blind Boone Is a
musical prodigy and the large audience
showed their high appreciation Of his
work by hearty and frequent applause.
At times his hearers were convulsed with
laughter at his amusing rendition Of
plantation songs, or thrilled with the
power and pathos of his heavier pieces.
Toward the close Of his realistic imita-
tion Of the Tornado the audience sat
s%pell-bound, and a pin, dropping, could
have been heard from one end Of the hall
to the other.
Miss Josephine Rivers. the charming
little vocalist, simply took her hearers
by storm with her captivating stage
presence aud happy rendering Of songs,
both sentimental and comic, and was
enthusiastically encored. Should the
company ever come this way again they
will be greeted with u more than crowd
ed house.
