INSTRUCTIONS TO GEN. OTIS.
Establishing Provisional Govern
ments in the Hhilippines.

1t is said at the War Department that
Gen. Otis is acting under instructions from
the President of December last in the or
ganization of provisional governments in
the Philippines. The Presidents letter to
Gen. Otis stated that the destruction of the
Spanish fleet, followed by the reduction of
Manila. practically effected the conquest
of the Philippine Islands and suspension of
Spanish sovereignty. He directed that the
military government of the United States
maintained in Manila be extended with all
possible dispatch to the whole of the dis
trict coded to the United States by the
treaty of peace. The military commander
was directed to announce that 1--WE come
not as invaders or cOnquerors, but as
friends" Those who submitted were to be
promised support and protection; all others
will be brought within the lawful rule We
/ have assumed, with firmness, if need be,
but without severity as far as may be pos
sible. Suggestions were made as to the
government of the ceded territory and the
rights of property, taxes, etc.
This letter of the President, together with
the instructions of Secretary Hay to the
Philippine commission, are the basis of the
governments which are to be established
in the Philippines.

Big Importation of Champagne.
During the first six months of the pres
ent year, ending July /, the importation of
cbampagnes into this country reached the
total of 12S.175 cases, which, doubled for
the year, means an unprecedented importa-
tom of 236, $50 cases, or 3,052, 200 quart bot
ties of wine for consumption in the United
States These figures do not mean that
this entire Importation viii have been ac-
tually consumed by champagne drinkers,
but it does mean that the agents represent
ing the various foreign champagne making
establishments have had reason to increase
their orders to the extent which COMPARE
son of these figures with those or previous
wears would indicate. They have sold
nearly all of the 12S,175 cases import ed up
to July l, and they have good reason to be-
lieve that as many more cases will be sold
during the remaining six months of the
year. New York stands pre-eminently at the
head of the list of consumers, nearly so per
cent of the entire importation being drunk
here The money value of the estimated
importation will reach the amount of
s., 1888, $50, which is more than s2,000,0o0
in excess of last years importation, and 1t
means too, that in New York city some
thing like 81, 100000 will have been spent
for champagne.
To Restrict Cigarette Smoking.
No more cigarettes for the youth of New
York. At the next meeting of the board of
aldermen the law committee of that body
will report favorably an ordinance to pre-
vent the sale of cigarettes to boys less
than eighteen years old. Once IL becomes
a law it will be a misdemeanor even to
give youngster under eighteen a cigarette
or anything in the shape of a cigarette
The ordinance Is the first step in the cru
SADIE against cigarette smoking, for which
the average New York boy is notorious. In
a few days the little paper roll will be to
the small boy even as the most forbidden
of fruit. Little Robert Reed and his record
for separating himself from the nasty weed
will doubtless pale into insignificance when
the cigarette ordinance gets into good
working order. and the boy who is fire.
quently entered on the records of Bellevue
as being able to smoke his twelve packs a
day without turning hair will be thing
of the dead past.

Dewey Reception Plans.

The committee on plan and scope of the
Dewey reception is considering a sugges-
ton made by President Little of the board
of education, that the celebration extend
over three days, and that the third day be
devoted to the school children. He believes
that at least 100000 boys and girls would
like to form a parade and march past the
admiral. great chorus of school children
could be drilled for the occasion. 1t is
pointed out that the great reviewing stand
which will be erected near Grants tomb
could be turned over to the children on the
third day, and that here Admiral Dewey
could listen to their patriotic songs The
suggestion meets with great deal of favor
at the hands of the committee on plan and
scope, and the chances are that it will be
adopted and made a feature of the regular
program. 1t is not thought that participa-
ton in the naval parade on the first day
and in the civic exercises and military pa
| rade of the second day will proye too
fatiguing to Admiral Dewey. 1t is said al,
the city hall that nothing will be settled
finally until word comes from the admiral
fixing definitely the date of his arrival here
The general impression seems to be that
he will be in New York between Septem-
Der p and October 1. There is little likeli-
hood that his arrival will be delayed be-

THE MATTER OF PROMOTIONS.
Secretary Long Preparing n Report
on 4dmirals Schiey and Sampson.

The work of the Board Of Naval Officers
selected By Secretary Long to assist him in
preparing a report TO the Senate upon the
question of promotions pending before that
body is completed and the facts and rec
ords in connection with the advancement
of Rear Admirals Sampson and Schley are
ready to be forwarded. Secretary Long
gave out a statement yesterday in which
he said that he had had the records col
iected.
In order 10 insure entire fairness in this
statement of facts he had them verified
by three oficers-Captain Evans. who COM
manded the Iowa, not only on Santiago. but
during the whole course Of the flying squad
ron from Cienluegos; Captain Taylor of the
Indiana. and Flag Lieutenant Sears, of the
Brooklyn. He thought perhaps. he ought
to have taken one of these from the New
York. as well as from the Brooklyn as the
names of Sampson and Schley are both
specially mentioned in the request. He
had selected Lieutenant Sears. as he was

Manila. Feb. G.
Secretary of Navy, Washington:
Insurgents have attacked Manila. Boston leaves
today for Iloilo to relieve Baltimore, which will
return to Manila.
Two wounded yesterday on board Monad-
nock-one seriously DEWEY.
To the naval officials the opening para
graph of Dewey's adYices indicated that
another fight had occurred. At the War
Department, however, the supposition that
the engagement had been renewed after the
defeat of the Filipinos Sunday was dis
credited. When kilograms containing he
lists of casualties came from General Otis
without any reference to second engage
ment the military authorities became alb
solutely satisfied that there had been no
more fighting. They said that General Otis
would surely have reported the fact.
No significance is attached to the ac-
tion of Admiral Dewey In sending the Bos-
ton to relieve the Baltimore at Iloilo. The

the heavy casket from the steamer to the
cutter. The heavy box was ornamented
with single design in red, white, and
blue. bearing the name and date of death
of the general The casket was placed in
the open cutter. secured by ropes covered
with floral tributes. and then. amid the
profound silence OF hundred spectators it
was towed away from land and placed
aboard the Nashville. She sailed for Cuba
with the remains later in the afternoon.

PLOTS AGAINST A JEW zoUAvE.
Charged With Theft, But Acquitted
nv

Charged With Theft, But Acquitted
by Court-MartiaI.
Paris. Feb. 6.-The European edition of
the Herald publishes the following:
A court-martial at Algiers has pronounc-
ed judgment, which the Figaro" char
acterizes as doing the greatest honor to the
conscience and impartiality of the mil
tary jurisdiction. A Zouave named Ii ty,
OF Israelite faith. was taken before it
charged with theft.
Two of his comrades, in his absence from
his room, hid ST. piece in his mattress
and then denounced him to the adjutant on
duty, stating that some one had sto en-
Of. pice and PSF. banknote, and that they
suspected Lilly.
The Zouave was arrested, his room
searched and the ST. piece of course found
in the mattress. but not the PSI. note. The
81. piece was regarded as more than suffi-
cient proof of Liity's guilt and he was
taken before the court martial
He appeared on November % for the first
time. The facts seemed Overwhelming and
he would have been sentenced but for a
reseryist, who overheard one of his ac-
cusers, private, Nicolas, boast of having
had the Jew court-martialed.
The court-martial, of which Colonel
Nussard vas president, was much shocked,
and ordered an adjournment and exposed
the abominable plot against the Jewish
Zouave
At the adjourned trial the court-martial,
after a consultation of a few minutes.
unanimously acquitted the prisoner and
the numerous spectators at the trial sep
arated, rendering homage to the impair
tiality on the part Of Colonel Nussard.
