now engaged under Generals Lawton
Macarthur and Wheaton, but 1t is esti-
mated that Of the 440OO which General
Otis reported he had yesterday, al
least $4,000 are engaged in the cam
paign north Of Manila. According tc
recent dispatches from General Otis
there has been a general scattering OF
Aguinaldo's forces and one report stat
ed that he lid not have more than s.
090 men with him At Bayambang.
General Otis expressed the opinion
that the disintegration of Aguinaldo's
men meant that they were getting tired
Of the war and predicted the surren-
der Of large number Of bands in a
short time.
Some Of the military experts fear
General Otis is over sanguine on this
point and that the disintegration may
mean the beginning OF a prolonged
guerrilla warfare.

direction. The insurgent force is esti-
mated at 1850.
Colonel Smith first encountered a
small force entrenched a quarter Of a
mile beyond Angeles. which soon re-
treated, leaving two Of their number

DUTY OF CONGRESS-
IN PHILIPPINES
TO ESTABLISH GOVERNMENT
Senator Morgan Thinks This the Best
Answer That Can Be Made TO
the Anti-ESpansiCnists.

NEW YORK, Nov ga special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Congress should at once take action
in relation to the Philippines" said
Senator Morgan tonight. This action
should be taken in the discharge Of the
duty imposed by section four article
four, Of the constitution, which pro-
yides that the United States shall guar
antee TO every state in this union re-
publican form Of government"
The senator said that this imposed a.
distinct duty upon congress, and the
discharge Of that duty by action look
ing to the establishment Of a republican
form Of government in the Philippines
would be the best answer possible to the
ant-imperialists. He explained that
what he meant by giving republican
form Of government to the Philippines

LONDON FINANCES
ARE UNQUIET
GOLD GOING TO HOLLAND
Loans and Discounts Going Up But
No Serious Troubles are Feared
Little Stock Is Being Bought.

NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-The Times
London financial correspondent cables:
According today's aspect, our money
market promises higher rates, but not
much higher The experience Of the
last few weeks has shown it to be un-
safe to allow discount to fall below 81
per cent. At and above that rate gold
was attracted to London, or at least
prevented from going away, but direct
by the rate fell below it, the demand
for gold for export began TO revive,
while supplies ceased to arrive. No gold
has thus far been openly taken back
to England, but Holland has swept
away any small supplies available in
the market, and on these failing
sundry parcels Of sovereigns have been
Withdrawn privately for shipment to
Amsterdam.
In the open market the week loans
rose to 3 and 81 per cent, where they
have since stuck, and Immediately the
bill brokers commenced to work up dis
count, first to 4 per cent and today by
steps to AZ. Whether the market Will
keep thus hard is doubtful, because
cheap loans always in the end defeat
discounters. Brokers say we are deter
mined to put a three months rate Of
discount Of ~ per cent as the mini
num- but they are certain to fail until
lean money can rise in the neighbor-
hood Of 4 per cent
It may do this, but hardly yet, for
the Bank Of England has merely It's
own bill case to depend on as means
Of pressure, the japanese loan money
not being under its control unless It Is !

was that the best form OF republican
government known In the world, which
would b. the best form TO bc found
among the ideal, and that every ster
toward establishing a government In
the Philippines should be an approach
to this high ideal.
No attempt should be made, he said
TO frame a detailed government for the
island as a whole or for any of the
various people who inhabited them
without a thorough understanding Of
all the conditions and needs OF the in.
habitants.
Asked whether he favored a ccueres.
siona commission to visit the Philip
pines and study the conditions there be

government, he replied;
Il think 1t would be wise to have
such commission visit the islands, II
we had undertaken to frame u govern.
ment for Hawaii without the study Of
local conditions which our commission
made. think It is probable that We
would have made some egregious blum
ders, This study Of conditions and ol
the peculiar characteristics and needs
of the people is even more necessary In
the case Of the Philippines than in Ha-
wait. because We know less OF The Phil
ippiues,'
In senator Morgan's opinion the gov
ednment OF the United States should
have charge of the external relations Of
all matters relating to the islands as a
group. while the local affairs should
be condded as far as possible to the
people Of the different localities. In
this connection he spoke Of the town
ship system Of the New England states
es the highest ideal Of local self-goy-
ernment
The question OF who should have the
right to vote would have to be deter
mined by congress, and in this connec-
tion the senator called attention TO the
fact that in the first instance the deter
mination Of who shall have the suffrage
in the states and territories organized
under the United States. is an arbitrary
act, in some places. men only being
allowed TO vote. in others men and wo-
men. and in others various qualihca-
tions being prescribed.
Existing laws, the senator thought.
should be continued In force as far as
they We're good laws because the people
understood them. One change that
would have to be mlde would be to
take away from the friars and the re-
llgious orders their power Of levying
taxes on the people.
Senator Morgan is Of the opinion that
while the United States should under
take at once the solution Of the prob
lem Of governing the Philippines, the
development Of that government into.
its intimate Form will have to be
matter OF growth.

GOMEZ FOR FREE CUBA
Sets at Rest Contrary Rumors in :
Proclamation.
The Immigration Laws Adopted In Cuba
to Keep Out Undesirable Labor Give
General Satisfaction.

HAVANA (By able).-General Gomez has
ISSUED a proclamation: announcing the
formation OF a. ,Junta OF Cuban Generals to
advise him. He says that he will consult
the Junta on all the details regarding the
dIsbandment Of the Cuban army, and also
concerning the question Of retaining the
arms with which the Cubans fought for
liberty as sacred testimonials Of the strug.
gle for independence and for the defence
Of the noble interests which have not been
abandoned because the army Is to dtsband.
He adds thatthese interests now demand
the help OF all Cubans. and that they should
seek to achieve their highest aspiration,
which is the establishment OF On independ-
ent democratic republic.
The proclamation causes no surprise
among those who know that General Gomez
has never made any declaration favorable
to postponement OF the formation Of
Cuban republic or indirectly fayoring an.
nexation to the United States. Reports
that he had done so were cabled to the
United States some time ago, but they were
absolute falsehoods.
The instructions received by Governor.
General Brooke from Washington to de-.
clare applicable to Cuba the immigration
laws OF the UnlteQ STATES are ceEtaln 10
give general satisfaction here. For one
thing, the new regulations will prevent the
ingress OF any more Chinese laborers, who,
though useful in certain employments,
notably truck gardening, are from
their habits a constant mennce to the
public health. The Sanitary Bureau has
been forced to burn out the filthy quarters
in which the various Chinese colonies here
ha7e been living, there being no other way
to purify those centres OF contaglon. The
immigration laws will also keep out OF the
island all other undesirable people who
may become public charges. While the
present conditions of agricultural prostra.

here for additional labor OF the unskilled

The aristocracy have had to step down
and out Of the county governing business.
The elections that have placed the people
in command have wrought strange changes
In all parts Of the Green Isle. Laborers
on the estates Of the landlords are In many
cases their official superlors to-day. Mem
bers OF old titled families had to witpess
the election to Office OF men, and women,
too-for they also had the privilege OF the
ballot-whom these titled ones had here
tofore ruled with rod OF iron.
OF the masses over the classes was due
almost entirely to Arthur J. Balfour, the
Chief Secretary, who had to that moment,
been regarded as O coercionist. But the
measure he introduced in the House OF
Commons to replace the Government by
Grand Juries by one OF County District
Councils, proved that he had been making
a close study OF conditions In Ireland. He
made an eloquent appeal In behalf OF the
measure, and representatives from all Sec
tions OF ireland bowed in acquiescence.
The bill passed. and the first step toward
Home Rule for Ireland had been taken. 1t
was the first move toward the abolition OF
landlord ascendencv.
As sample OF the sweeping victories
everywhere OF the labor party, William
Shaw, one OF the wealthiest millers In Ire
land, was defeated for Alderman by a dray-
men in his own employ whose weekly wage
was $3.50. Maurice Leonard, agent OF the
Earl of Kenmore, landlord and formerly
a dictator OF the town, was obliged to yield
the first place on the ticket to one OF his
day laborers, earning 1925 week.
Several women were elected to oHce In
Limerick, including Miss Charlotte Bar.

ARMY BEEF INQUIRY.
Government Held Responsible For Loss

Government Held Responsible For Loss
of 100000 Pounds.
WASHINGTON, D. G. Especially. The board
convened by special order to examine
into and report upon the responsibility for
the loss OF SOC. 900 pounds Of refrigerated
beef sent to Porto Rico last summer has
submitted its report and findings. The
beef was shipped on the transport Mani.
toba, from Swift & Co., Of Chicago and
Kansas City. The board finds:
"That the beef was good and fit Tor

August 10, 1898, and was reported to the
proper military authorities. That not.
wIthstanding the time and labor involved
in unloading troops and animals from the

and including August 16, 1893, due and
proper effort was not made to issue this
beef to the accessible troops between that
date and August rs, 1898, the date OF the
departure OF the Manitoba from May
agues. 4;
= "That this lack OF effort was in the ma
ture Of an acqulescence in the arrange
ment already locally sanctioned for the
purchase OF native beef, but lay primarily
In the lack OF controlling authority and q
responsible head OF the Subsistence De.
partment in Ponce. That the meat had
not been subjected to any chemical pgo-
cess whatever for its preservation. That
the loss OF this beef was due to several
causes: Possible deterioration while the
reirlgerating plant was interrupted
or disturbed, August 10 to August II;
exposure to high temperature from the
time OF loading on the transport to the date
OF issue at Mayagrez and after; improper
handling and faulty protection after issue;
against its appearance under unfamiliar
conditions, and delay. That swlt. & Co.

Board and dlrectedthat payment be made
