To Bring Them from Frisco.

movement has been started in Kan
Sas City, Kan, to have the people of the
state raise money to bring the members
of the Twentieth Kansas regiment
from San Francisco in special trains
free to the soldiers, thus enabling
them to save the travel pay allowed
them by the United States government.
Sidney H. Whisner, secretary of the
Kansas City committee has formulated
the plan and it has been approved by
Kansas City, Kan, people. 1t gives every
city in the state share in the honor
of honoring the brave boys of the
Twentieth Kansas. He has taken a
list of all the cities of the state of 900
or more population and apportioned to
them an amount proportionate to their
relative population. Thus almost every
city and town will be called upon for d
share.

to Abandon HOiIO.

MADRID Jan. 13.-The government has
received the following official dispatch from
Manila: THE American troops here which
were ordered TO Iloilo mutinied and refused
to start. General Miller has been ordered to
abandon Iloilo and return TO Manila. All the
American troops have been ordered to con-
centrate here. the situation being of the
gravest character"
According TO other dispatches received
here the American domination in the Phil
ippines is limited to Manila bay" All other
points except Mindano, where the Spaniards
are, are in the hands of the insurgents. One
dispatch says: The American volunteers
are disheartened by the climate and bad
food and are anxious to return home"

government of the undertaking on the part
of the United States peace commissioners

The Generals Statement Not Accepted
by the War Commission.
WASHINGTON, Jan 13.-The war nvesti-
eating commission to-day took prompt ac-
tion on the sensational testimony submitted
TO it yesterday by Commissary General
Eagan, and sent the statement Incorporate
irg testimony back to him, with the priv
ilege of submitting if he chooses to revise
language. Further than this the commits
sion determined 1t could not and would not
proceed. The commission regrets that Gen.
Eagan proceeded as far as he did, and it is
explained to-day that the vituperative ma
tUre of the testimony was a complete sur
prise to the commission, and that but for
the rapidity with which General Eagan read
his long statement and the absorbing vehe-
mence of its delivery he would have been
checked at the time. One member of the
commission said to-day that he was about
to move that the witness be called to order,
but decided not to, believing from the
heated way in which Eagan spoke such per-
emptory action might precipitate some con-
troversy.
The matter was taken up in executive ses-
sion by the commission yesterday immedi
ately General Eagan closed. and ex-Gov-
ernor Woodbury., of Vermont, introduced

to-day and the rejection of the testimony as
it stands was unanimously voted at the ex-
ecutive session preceding to-days public
session At this time there was considerable
discussion on the point of the use of such
language taking advantage of the wit
ness stand, but the general opinion was ex-
pressed the course taken in not interfering
with the testimony during it's delivery and
then carefully considering its propriety was
best. At the time of the creation of the
commission the President, in instructing the
commission verbally assured the members
that all witnesses would be immune from
punishment for what they might say before
that body, but members of the commission
say it never was intended to indulge such
language as that given utterance to yester-
day.
What further steps may be taken in the
matter, save as to the acceptance or reiec-
ton Of the revised statement, if one Is sub
mitted, lies without the scope of the COM
mission If the statement is returned with
the vituperative and Objectionable language
entirely stricken out. and with only temper
ate and conservative language used. the
commission will accept 1t and consider it as
testimony While the action taken to-day

MUNICIPAL PAWN SHOPS.
Chicago scheme for Destroying the
Business of "ShyIOcks."

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-Nearly all the prom
inent business men of this city have been
invited to attend banquet to be given to-
morrow night by the Merchants Club, for
the purpose of considering in detail the
question of establishing municipal pawn
shops in the city. A bill has been prepared
Under the direction of the club, and will be
introduced in the Legislature next week
BY the passage of such a measure it is said
that the large number of "Shylocks' who
infest the city and make loans at exorbitant
rates of interest upon furniture and other
personal property will be forced out of
business. The object of the measure is to
establish municipal pawn shop, where
wage earners may borrow money at the rate
of 1 per cent. month on such securities
as are put up for collateral in the ordinary
10 per cent. pawn shops.

American Domination in the Philip
Spanish COrtes to BE COnyOl1ed.

MANILA, Jan. 13.-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 concentrated in the outskirts of
the town and their leaders have issued strict
orders that they shall act only on the de-
fensive An accident might precipitate trou-
ble but the idea of a rebel attack upon
Manila is ridiculous, as the Americans alb
solutely control the position.
Aguinaldo has republished the second
manifesto in reply to the proclamation of
General Otis, which was recalled on its first
appearance, but it has proved Intellectual.
On Wednesday false alarm, due to the
trivial incidents occurring simultaneously
in opposite parts of the city, led to a general
call to the United States forces. In fifteen
minutes the entire city was covered. The
promptitude of the Americans, while it ere
ated scare for the moment, effectually re-
stored confidence throughout Manila and
dispelled the excitement due to a passing
fear on the part of the citizens that an out
break was imminent.
1t is possible that the Filpinos, after the
diplomatic conferences that have been had
between the representatives of General Otis
and Aguinaldo, have finally come to under
stand that the cautious and conservative
policy of the Americans is not due to fear,
and that they will accept the inevitable
with good grace. 1t is evident that at pres
ent they are unable to appreciate the full
meaning of the independence demanded and
that, when they do understand its extent,

GERMANS INDIGNANT.
Say They Are Not Assisting Aguinal-
dos Insurgents.

BERLIN, Jan. 13.-The correspondent of
the Associated Press, after a thorough In
vestigation, ascertains that the report that
Germany is assisting the Filipinos and fur
nisbing them with war material is absolute
ly baseless. Baron Won Rulow, imperial
secretary of state for foreign affairs, person
ally authorizes the statement such reports
are justified by nothing Germany has done,
is doing or is preparing to do.
Legation Councillor Hammann, of the For
eign Office, being empowered to speak for
the government, supplemented the above de-
NAL as follows: THE only possible eXplana-
tion of the way in which such rumors may
have originated, we find in a dispatch re-
ceived this morning from Herr Kruger,
our consul at Manila" Herr Hammann
then read this dispatch to the correspondent
of the Associated Press The gist of it is
that early last November three unimportant
dealers sent to Filipino newspaper a state
ment that they had always been satisfied
with the treatment they had received from
the Filipinos, and hoped that the good rela-
tions would continue. Despite the fact that
the German colony at Manila and Hong
Kong promptly issued declaration assert
ing that these three Germans in no way
represented the views of the colony and as
suring the Americans OF sympathy, the in
cident was used as handle to impute anti
American sentiments to Germans in the
Philippines. So far as the doings of the
German government and navy are con-
cerned, Herr Hammann said positively that
absolutely nothing had occurred which
could be construed as hostility towards the
plans of the Americans or connivances with
the Filipinos. Hammann concluded his
statement with the remark: Il am amazed
that such baseless lies, though disproved
again and again, should still find credence."
The officials at the United States embassy
feel sure that there is nothing whatever in
the rumors.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-There was no
abatement in the interest exhibited here
to-day in all the incidents connected with
the bitter attack made yesterday by Com
missary General Eagan upon Gen. Nelson
A. Miles. AS might have been expected a
matter of this official consequence was sure
TO attract the attention of the President
and, in consequence, a greater part of the
session of the Cabinet to-day was given
TO its consideration. The Cabinet members
however, We're unusually reticent with re-
spect to what was said and declined to ex-
press any opinion as to what if anything
would be done in the matter, which is now
in the hands of the President and Secre-
tary Alger. Nevertheless, all the members
OF the Cabinet commend the action of the
commission in declining to receive the man
uscript Of General Eagan's testimony until
the Objectionable epithets have been expur-
gated. There is no doubt that the President
deeply regrets the indecent. and it is al
most certain that official cognizance will
be taken of the matter very soon. The cues

gan may be entitled to immunity from pun
