AN HEROIC DEED.
A Stationary Engineer, at the Risk of His
Own, Saves the Lives of Hun
dreds-Badly Injured.

Columbus, o., Jan. 3.-It is not often
that it falls to the part of stationary
engineer to play the part of hero,
but that is what happened to Lee Chal-
FAINT, substitute engineer at Wolff
Brothers shoe factory yesterday.
Though badly scalded, he leaped
through binding clouds of steam,
raked the fires from under the boilers
and prevented an explosion that
jeopardized the lives of 500 employees
in the building.
The regular engineer of the plant is
i'll, and Chalfant was working as a sub
stitute. Yesterday morning he noticed
there was too much water in the boiler
and so opened a valve to let some of it
out. Then he went around in front
to watch the guage while the water
the water was going out too fast and
that a jet of steam was escaping with
great force. In trying to shut il off
he was badly scalded, but in spite of
the pain he thought only of the horri-
BILE consequence of an explosion.
There was but one thing to do and
that was done quickly. Selling
shovel he sprang to the furnace doors
and began raking out the fires. The
boiler cooled down and the danger
point was passed. Then Chalfant gave
the alarm. He was taken to his home,
where he lies in a precarious condi-
ton, but with prospects for his recov-

GEN. MERRITT 5 OPINION.
He Believes Gen. Rios Surrendered
Iloilo with Intent to Embar-

DIFFICULT TO PREDICT THE OUTCOME.
a Hong Kong Correspondent of the London
Globe Discusses the Relations of the
Fnipinos and Americans = Overtures
from Germany and France that were
Promptly Rejected.

Chicago, Dec. 30.-Maj.-Gen. Wesley
Merritt, who is spending the holidays
in this city, was very much surprised
t o hear of the surrender of Iloilo by
Gen. Rios to the insurgents. Gen.
Merritt believes the surrender may
have been an intentional move ON the
part of the Spaniards to make it diff
ficult for the United States to gain
control of the PHILIPPINE islands. 'It
is. of course, impossible" continued
Gen. Merritt, ito predict what bearing
this move will have on the ultimate
disposition of the islands. Gen. Rios
had no right to surrender to the in
surgents, unless, indeed, his command
was on the verge of starvation, or in
some equally tight place.
When Manila fell all the islands in
the archipelago went with it, and
though the surrender then made on
paper might not have amounted to
much, and might have been terminal
ed should the Spanish have felt them
selves sufficiently strong, yet the sign
ing of the protocol some six days later
prevented any further control of the

to attempt to wrest any of the surren-
dered territory from the victors. Con-
sequently, Rios only move should
have been to turn over noilo to the
United States troops.
1.-THE idea the insurgents have is
that the more territory they can as
sert that they hold, the better their
claim to the right of independence
when the time comes for them to treat
with the United States regarding

FILIPINos AND AMERICANS.
Hong Kong Correspondent of the Londo
Globe Ventures Some Opinions.

Hong Kong Correspondent of the London
Globe Ventures Some Opinions.
London, Dec. 30.-A correspondent
of the Globe writing from Hong Kong
on November 26 saws:
1T will be great misfortune if,
through hasty action or ignorance of
the actual state of affairs the Filipino
natives rise against the Americans.
Hitherto, although the Americans have
often given great provocation, the Fill
1pnos have shown great forbearance
and strong dislike to come to blows
They do not want to fight, and if the
Americans only meet them half way
all will go well.
There is much to be gained by just,
statesmanlike settlement with the ma
tives, while there will undoubtedly be
great losses through a continuance of
arbitrary treatment. The just aspira-
tions of the people ought to be taken
into consideration, and 1 believe they
would if only the proper men are sent
out by the president to settle the ques-
ton of the future government of the
islands on the spot, after proper delib-
Grafton and very careful investigation.
Such commission would discover that
the Filipino leaders have been loyal to
the Americans.
l am informed that they refused to
consider the overtures of Germany and
France. When Prince Henry visited
Hong Kong he caused the Filipino
leaders there to visit him and informed
them that he was empowered to prom
Use the natives full recognition of their
national government if they would
cede to Germany, as quid pro quo,
small coaling station. France, more
recently, made similar advances, and
in each case the reply was eve can not
settle anything with you. The Amer
leans promise US independence, and we
wish to wait and see what the Amer.
leans will do for u.s."

AN UNPOPULAR ORDER.
rhe Concentration OF Customs Receipts NJ
Havana Resented at santiago
Many Protests Coming.

Santiago de Cuba, Jan. 3.-An order
has been received from Havana, which.
if enforced, will mean. In the Judg-
ment of the commercial classes here,
serious injury to the province. TINS IS
a direction to transmit the entire Gus
toms receipts each week to Havana.
Compliance with such instructions
would involve the abandonment OF
many necessary public improvements
especially in the matter of roads and
waterworks.
Since American occupation began
these funds have been used for such
purposes, and have been the principal
means of meeting the necessary ex-
penditures. The Heraldo says that to
carry out this order would rob 10000
Cubans of employment, most OF whom
would probably take to the hills and
become bandits, having no other re-
course.
Robert T, Mason, British consul at
Santiago, says it was Spain's prac-
tice of monetary Capitalization which
caused most of her troubles in Cuba.
Gen. Leonard Wood, United States
military governor of the department.
on being asked to express an opinion
respecting the order, declined to be in
terviewed, but, it is reported, that.
without offering any criticism OF the
policy which dictates the order, he has
shown his annoyance at the possibili-
ty of stop being put to the good
work being done in the province.
The local taxation fund is barely
sufficient to meet the expenses of the
city. There is nothing over for inn
portant improvements, and the Gus
toms receipts are considered by COM
petent judges to be absolutely neces-
sary for the successful management
of the province.
Popular excitement over the order
is growing among all classes. The
chamber of commerce, the Sons of
Veterans, the supreme court and the
San Carlos club have called meetings
to take action, and each organization
will cable to Washington an earnest
protest against what is described as the
suicidal policy of >centralizing money
at Havana"
