M'KINLEY BOUND TO
CONQUER THE FILIPIN0S

WASHINGTON, April 25.-With a large
War Department map before them, the
members of the Cabinet traced the posi-
tons of the American soldiers and the
Filipinos near Calumpit to-day. Secre-
tary Alger pointed out what was intended
to be accomplished, the positions and the
strength of the opposing forces. The
Secretary is rather hopeful that the Fill
pinos will not be able to elude the Ameri-
can forces this time. He believes that if
a large part of Aguinaldo's army could
be captllsed the termination of the fight
ing might be near.
K Cabinet officer said this afternoon
that the Cabinet has at no time discussed
the subject of the future disposition of
the Philippines. at is the present that
we are thinking Of he said, :'and there
is not the slightest intention of deviat-
ing from the present programme. I be-
lieve it is the unanimous feeling Of the
Cabinet that nothing shall be decided as
to the future status Of the islands until
we have placed them satisfactorily under
the control of the United States"
He said that every dollar and every
man necessary to bring the islands under
the dominion of this country would be
used. When the insurgents have recog-
nized the power of the United States the
question of their future status will be
taken up and discussed.

Movement Started in
Los Angeles.
AIMED AT STATE MACHINE
BURNS AND MCLAUGHLIN TO BE
BUSTED.

Governor Gage to Reward Senator
Morehouse for Having Faith
cred Anti-Newspaper
Legislation.
Special Dispatch to The CAN.


LOS ANGELES, April 25.-An organiza-
ton in opposition to the Republican State
Central Committee is being perfected, the
object being TO wrest the Republican
party machinery of California from the
hands of the men who are now in control.
1t is said by those who are cogniZant Of
the movement that the preliminary stages
have long since been passed. Los Angeles
is to be the head and center of this polit-
ical'maneuver. The leaders have been Sc
lected and ample capital is not lacking.
That the scalps of Burns and Mclaughlin
are the objects of the tilt by those who
are opposed to the machine rule is evil
denced by the statement that the leaders
Of the late Grant forces will supply the
men for the anti-machine fight. The on
slaught recently made on portion of the
Los Angeles County delegation, including
Senator Bulia, is regarded by the initiated
as the primary step in the new movement
Senator Bulla, while declining to discuss
the language useu and the character or
the attack, favored the plan Of having the
Los Angeles delegation make formal re-
ply to the onslaught.
The story was circulated to-day that
Senator H. V. Morehouse would be APP
pointed by Governor Gage as member OF
the code commission as a reward for his
work in obtaining the passage OF the anti
newspaper legislation of the late Legis-
lature, especially the signature law. More
house is said to have given out this in
formation himself.

pouring continuous volleys.
The armored car had one man Killed
and two wounded. The Kansas regi-

seventy killed. many of them by the

JUDGE cRITz M FRANKLIN

The Meadyille Advocate has
hoisted the name Of Judge Crlt2,
Of Clay county, as It's choice for
governor, and contains the fol-
loving reference to the address
delivered by that popular candi-
date during the recent session Of
court in that county:
Hon. r. a. Critz, Of Clay,
candidate for Governor, reached
here last Thursday and spoke at
the court house directly after
noon. He struck popular and
responsive chord in the hearts of
the people Of the county, by his
manner Of handling the question
OF railroad back taxes. Being a
member Of the firm Of Critz &,
Beckett, who have had the litiga-
ton in charge for the revenue
agent, he was able 10 give the
exact status Of the back tax cases,
which he did in most lucid and
interesting manner. His arraign-
ment Of the dealings between G..
p, Huntington and others, stock
holders, and @. p. Huntington
and others, Of the Financial I'm
provement Company, in the build
ing Of the Mississippi Valley road
was most terrific, interspersed
With humor and sarcasm which
kept his audience in a continual
spell Of laughter. lie declared
himself on State issues TO the ey-
ident satisfaction Of the audience.
He fayors an elective judiciary,
the building Of a new state house
with the State s share Of railroad
back taxes, correction Of certain
evils in the distribution Of the
state school fund, and, (by way
Of parenthesis), the building Of
bridges in Franklin county, SO
that the next time he is candi-
date for state office he can
speak here without having TO
consume two days in reaching
Meadville from the railroad. His
speech was well received and he
left with the assurance OF strong
support from the people Of the
county.
