FIL|P|NOS ISSUE
VIRULENT DECREE

Hong Kong, Feb. 27.--The Filipino gov
ernment has issued another virulent
anti-American decree in which the fol-
lowing passages occur:
THE American guns respect neither
honor nor property but barbarously
massacre women and children. Manila
has witnessed the most horrible outrages,
confscating the properties and savings of
people at the point of the bayonet and
shooting of the defenseess, accompanied
by odious acts of abomination, repugnant
barbarism and racial hatred worse than
the doings in Carolina.
UNLESS YOU conjure holy war for in
dependence you are only worthy to be
slaves and pariahs. Proclaim before the
civilized world you will fight to the death
against American treachery and brute
force. Even the women would fight if
necessary. American professions and
promises are pure hypocrisy. They covet
the spoils of this patrimony of our race,
wishing to impant here a more irritating
and barbarous dominion than in the
past"

FR|ENDLINESS
OF GERMANY

New York, Feb. PA dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: AS in
dicating the friendly purpose of the Ger
man government to this in the Samoan
controversy, Herr Salt, the newly elected
president of the municipal council of
Apia will come to the United States be-
fore proceeding to his post to confer
with Secretary Hay and other admins
traton officials. Herr Salt will succeed
Herr Rafel who left Apia on February
% for Berlin, where he will be compelled
to make a report to his home government
in explanation of his conduct at Apia.
Herr Salt is now on duty in one of the
German possessions in Africa, and has
been instructed to first proceed to Bos-
ton.
1t was stated today that the Samoan
question had never been at danger
point, as has been reported, but fault
has been displayed on both sides, and
Germany and the United States propose
to take action to restore order. Herr
Rose will probably be removed and Chief
Justice Chambers is expected to be re-
called. Chief Justice Chambers recall
will not be due to his decision or to his
course, but to the letter he wrote to his
brother and which contained statements
objectionable to the German government,
which have been communicated to the
state department. The officials say that
his usefulness has gone, to some extent,
as the result of his letter, and Germany
has intimated that she would be pleased
if some other person was appointed as
his successor.
Within ten days it is expected that re-
ports will be received from the three
consuls, fully explaining their acts, and
when these have been considered, action
will be taken by the two governments.
There is one other point-speaking of
Samoa-which remains to be settled by
diplomatic negotiation. Germany will
insist that Mataafa, by reason of the
overwhelming majority he received at
the election, should be made king, but
the decision of the chief justice and the
protocol of the Berlin treaty exclude
him forever from consideration in con-
nection with the kingship. The admin
istration proposes to support Tanu Great
Britain is similarly inclined, and. as a
majority rules, he will probably be es-
tablished on the throne.

OF THE
FIRE in MANILA

New York, Feb PA dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: The battal-
ion Of the Twenty third infantry, that
has sailed on the transport Pennsylvania
for the island of Cebu, is commanded by
Maj Goodall, with Lieut.. Goodall, adju-
tant, and Lieut. McNabb as quartermas-
ter. The battalion includes company A,
commanded by Capt. Pendleton; COM
pany K, commanded by Lieut.. Moore:
company j, commanded by Lieut.. Schley
and company NJ, commanded by Lieut..
StretZenger.
An idea of the extent of the loss by fires
in the suburbs of Manila since Wednes-
day may be obtained from the figures
herewith given: Sixty buildings of stone
and one hundred and fifty substantial
wooden structures with iron roofs were
destroyed. In addition 5000 Nipa houses
Of the natives were burned.
