COL. FIFE.

MANILA, Dec. 13.-Lieutenant-C Col
onel w. J. Fife and Captain M. F. ELL
rich of the First Washington Regiment
are under arrest and confined to their
quarters. They will be tried by court
martial under the sixty-first article of
war for conduct unbecoming officers
and gentlemen. Their arrest was or
dered by Colonel Wholley of the First
Washington on charges preferred by
one of the Captains and sworn to by
several other officers of the regiment.
The charges include drunkenness and
causing members under their COM
mand to become intoxicated. The trial
will probably be prolonged through
several weeks. All the papers in the
case must go to Washington for final
action.

AGUINALDO MEN.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Senor Fe-
lipe Agoncillo. the representative OF
Aguinaldo in Washington, has filed
with the State Department a memoran-
dunn setting forth at length the rea-
sons for his claim that the Philippine
government should be recognized by
the United States. Accompanying the
memorandum is a letter in which Sen
or Agoncillo states that he had receiv-
ed no reply to his communication Of
January 9Th, in which he asked that a
suitable time be arranged when he
could be presented.

SOUTHERN ISLANDS.

MADRID, Jan. 15.-The Government,
on the reassembling of the Cortes, will
Immediately ask for authority to sell
the Marianne Uadrones), Caroline and
the Pelew islands, since Spain is pow
erless to maintain a sufficient force to
defend them. The Government arrived
at this decision in consequence of ad-
vices from General Rios that an army
of 1000 men, a man-of-war and two
gunboats would be necessary for the
purpose
BERLIN, Jan. 15.-The VOssische
Zeitung, referring to the voyage next
summer of the German cruiser Arcola
in the Pacific, says it will be connected
with the intention of the Government
to acquire the Caroline islands.

FIRST CALIFORNIA.

SACRAMENTO CCal), Jan. 16.-Cap-
tain Frank w. Warren of the First
California Regiment, now at Manila
is here working to secure some action
by the Governor and the Legislature
that will induce the authorities at
Washington TO permit the men from
this State to return. Captain Warren
says that the Californians were among
the first to go to the scene of war and
bore the brunt of the service. Now they
want to come home and think they
should be permitted to do so.

BARRETT TALKS.

SHANGHAI, Jan. 16.-John Barrett,
formerly United States Minister to
Siam, in an address before the Shang-
hal Chamber Of Commerce today on the
question of American control of the
Philippines, said he feared that the op-
ponents at home of such control did
not appreciate its vital Importance to
American commerce and influence in
the Far East, where immeasureable
opportunities would otherwise be lost.
The failure to assume and maintain
control, said Mr.. Barrett, would for
ever relegate the United States to a
secondary place in the Pacific. AS for
the difficulties of governing the archi-
pelago, they had been exaggerated.
iAguinaldo and his followers could be

dent and his advisers. While the cable
gram was not given out, it can be stat
ed on the best of authority that it con-
tanned the welcome news that the crisis
at Manila is now considered over The
officials here take this view and it is
the general opinion that a satisfactory
understanding with the insurgent
forces has been reached
MANILA, Jan. 16-Tt is reported
here that the more conservative Fill
pinos IN Iloilo are urging Aguinaldo to
permit Miller's troops to occupy the
city. They fear that the insurgent
troops will get beyond control and loot
and burn the city Things are at a
standstill here, but it is evident that
the American policy of inactivity is
costing prestige every day that it con-
tinueS.
HONGKONG, Jan. 16.-The censor
ship at Manila prevents a full and
proper understanding of the situation
there. The rebel troops have advanced
their outposts to the American lines
and resort to every device to provoke
trouble. Many natives have been ar
rested for smuggling arms into the
city. 1t was predicted that the natives
would attack the city on January 18th,
but there was no ground for the re-
port.
PARIS, Jan. 16.-It is reported here
that, as a new means of embarrassing
the United States, Spain will open di-
rect negotiations with the FiIipinos for
the release of the Spanish prisoners.
The plan is to treat them as a power,
and thus recognize them as such. This
action will, it is said, be followed by
the recognition of other powers. 1t is
said that Spain will first demand of the
United States the immediate release of
the prisoners.

pacified by a mixture of diplomacy and
firmness. Nor would the Monroe doc
trine be violated, for the occupation of
the Philippines by the United States
was not a direct act of conquest, but
the inevitable result of a war in which
grave responsibilities had been un-

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-
From the present outlook there
will be no Hawaiian legislation
at this session except the pass
age of the extensions of customs
and contract labor laws. These
bills are ready for considera
tion in the committees of the
Senate, the former having
passed the House, and it will
take only a few moments of the
morning hour to get them
through any time within the
coming month. There is no
opposition to these measures,
and they will be made laws if
nothing else Hawaiian is taken
care of at this time.

LONDON, Jan. 16.-Diplomats refuse

report cabled from Washington that
the United States is willing to ex-
change the Philippine islands for the
British West Indian islands.
A high official Of the Foreign Office
characterizes the statement as absurd.

A COMMISSION.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-The Com
mission which the President is about
to appoint to proceed to the Philip
pines will not be subject to the con-
firmation of the United States Senate.
but will be named under reserved au-
thority of the President and its ex-
penses will be paid out of the appro-
priations. 1t is not expected to com
nit the United States Government to
recognition of the independence of the
natives nor is it to frame a scheme of
government for the islands as was the
case with the Hawaiian Commission.
Undoubtedly, however, the Commits
sioners will unofficially confer with
the natives and advise with the mil
itary authorities, it being felt here
that men of their experience and quail
ifications will be valuable counselors
IN the conditions now existing
1t is believed that the natives can
be kept from hOstilities until the ar
rival of the Commission at Manila, and
then it is hoped that the best results
will follow the visit, including the re-
assurance OF the natives upon many
points as ID which they are now doubt
ful 1t also will be perceived that by
the appointment of the Commission
the President is granting the appeal OF
some OF the best Filipinos, who are
confident that both sides will be en-
lightened by it's creation and declare
tnat the United States Government
viii be shown that the abilities OF the
Fil;pincs for government has been
uuderesiInated, while the Filipinos
themselves will be induced to have
patience before insisting upon self
government.

POLL MADE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-As to the
future Of the peace treaty poll of the
Senate has been made by the opposi-
ton, and this is said to develop the
fact that men who now say they will
vote against the treaty number thirty
are counted in the doubtful column.
Still with this showing the leaders of
the antis are not hopeful of preventing
the passage of the treaty at the present
session. The say the pressure of the
administration, which is always felt
when there is some question OF vital
Importance before Congress, is suffi-
cient to pull the measure through The
fact of the matter is that they have
something like thirty votes against the
treaty, and when Hoar introduced his
resolution, which declares the inten-
ton of the United States is to give the
Philippines to the natives for a repub-
cans a way to be with the President ON
the treaty and at the same time indi-
cate their opposition to any kind of ex-
pansion. There are several OF these
Republicans, and they will fall into
line behind Hoar's resolution and then
vote for the treaty, making the declar-
alton of policy serve as a sop to their
consciences
