MAINTAINS A
NEUTRALITY
Confident That Her Subjects Will Re
ceive Ample Protection Under the
Stars and Stripes.

New YORK, Jan. THE New York
Stats zeitung will publish tomorrow
the following from its Berlin special
correspondent:
1 am informed from an unquestion-
able source that after the surrender of
Iloilo, the Spanish general tried to in
duce the German consul at Manila and
the German vice-conscl at Iloilo to take
charge of the protection of the private
interests of the Spaniards. The two
consuls wired to Berlin for instructions,
and received the following answer from
the German government:
"The German empire, being a neu.
trail power, is not in position to take
charge of any functions which might
be construed as as parciality of Spain.
All we endeavor to obtain in the Phil
ippines is protection and unrestricted
movements of our commerce. Since We
see that both are secure under the Unit.
ed States flag We are fully confident thai
there will never arise a situation which
could cause US to deYiation from the
strictly neutral attitude observed by III
up to the present day"
The correspondent also adds that tht
Washington government has been in
formed of this declaration.

Saturday Night.
HOPE
OF RECOVERY
Physicians Say Radical Change, One
Way or the Other, Must Take
Place Very Soon.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE condition
of Representative Nelson Dingley, of
Maine, who has been i'll with pneumo-
MIA for almost week, has undergone q
marked change for the worse, and to-
night his physicians hold out little, if
any, hope of recovery. Although the
lung has improved considerably and the
cough lessened, the effect of the pneu-
monia has so weakened the system as to
decrease the vitality to an alarming ex-
tent. The poison from the sickness has
permeated the whole system, which
renders it less potent to stand the ter
rible strain. Much OF the day the pa
tient was delirious and appeared to be
uttering extracts from speeches he had
made on the tariff question in the house
of representatives. He was conscious
only when aroused. The physicians cay
there must be radical change one way
or the other very soon.

General Otis in behalf of President Nc
Kinley, agents of Aguinaldo billed Ma
Mia with manifesto which attracted
considerable attention. The revolution
ary president objects to General Otis
signing himself military governor of the
Philippines. Agulnaldo declares he
had never agreed at Singapore, Hong
Kong or elsewhere to recognize the sov-
ereignty of the Americans here, and in
! sists that he returned to the Philippines
on an American ship solely to conquer
the Spaniards and win independence.
He asserts that both his proclamation
of May "a and June II stated this fact
officially, and he claims General Merritt
confirmed this by a proclamation eev-
eral days before the Spaniards capitu-
lated, stating clearly and definitely that
the Americans came to overthrow the
| Spanish government and to .libera te the
Filipinos. Aguinaldo claims that he
had natives and foreigners as witnesses
that the American forces recognized not
only by acts that the Filipinos we're bel
| ligerents, but by publicly saluting the
| Filipino flag "as it riumphantly sailed
to the skies before the eyes of all ma
! tione.''
Aguinaldo then solemnly protests, in
the name of the deity, who is empow-
cred to direct the brethren in the. diff
cult task of regeneration, against the in
trusion of the American government,
and reiterates that he could produce
proof that he was brought here on the
understanding that the Americans
promised their cooperation to attain
| independence.
The revolutionary leader then calls
upon all of his followers to work together
with force assuring them that he is con-
vinced that they will obtain absolute in
dependence, and urging them never to
turn from the GLORIOUS road" on which
they have "already go far advanced"
General Otis attaches no importance
to the manifesto. He says he feels con.
hdent that the opinion of the better
classes of the Filipinos is not expressed
in it, but as to whether the Filipino
masses can be controlled and the Filipi
no army kept in check he does not know
although he hopes for pacific outcome
of the trouble.

In the death Of CASTELAR,. Spain loses .
rare patriot. Most patriots will not as
sist In any movement for which they or
their party are not to receive political
credit CASTELAR, was q patriot who al
ways furthered the plans Of others, in
different to the fact that 1t might bring
them glory. only provided that the work
should be In the line Of benefit to his
country.
The son Of a liberal father. and
brought up sufferer by the expressions
and prosecutions OF a despotic mon
archy. CASTELAR, became q believer in re-
publican institutions He saw his views
50 far impressed upon the country that
a republic was established, and he be-
came its president: but the people were
not % far advanced as he. and the re-
public crumbled.
The jealousy Of rivals in public life
and the ignorance Of the people COM
bined against him. and the result was
restoration OF the monarchy. Although
he had not ceased his efforts to educate
the people to the idea Of self-govern-
ment. 80 long as the administration OF
affairs was conducted upon liberal lines,
he gave qualified support to the SOW
ereign. In doing this he subordinated
his own personal ambitions. and advan-
tage was taken OF It to belittle him be-
fore the people. both by those who were
partisans Of the crown and by the Radi.
Gals. who could not thrive except upon
unrest and revolution.
CASTELAR, knew that II would take years
to bring the Spaniards to q realization
Of the responsibilities entailed in self
government. He was opposed to op-
preston. and he was wise enough to
see that q form Of government which
avoided oppressive measures. and at the
same time kept in check the irresponsi-
bic demagogues. was the best under the
present conditions. No nation ever had
a grander son. and although he had his
personal faults. his love OF his country
and his self-denying services to her
cause entitle him to rank among the
very few who have placed patriotism
before selfish purpose.

Two False Statements.

roads Is that. while the true value Of all
such properties in the country is s. 0O0.-

and that the people have to pay tolls on
the companies debts as we'll as the prop.

statements for which there Is no warrant.
The railroads, as may be proved by any
good statistics on the subject. are not cap
TALKED In the sum OF 81. 600 100 more

not taxed to pay interest On the true value
and the excess value combined, Tor Il has

enough to pay even moderate rate Of In

OF either capitalized or true values. II Mr..
PETER would take the trouble to read some
OF the reports OF the Interstate commerce
