Hong Kong, Dec. 31.-The Filipino
junta here has replied to the report
Of Commissioner Harden, who was
sent to the Philippines by the United
States to report upon the conditions
there prevailing. The junta asked
the Associated Press to publish the
following as revealing the true situ-
alton and sentiment" in the Philip
pines: eve deny that Aguinaldo will
be satisfied if made major general
in command of five native regiments
and that if this is done the national
army could be disarmed and disband-
ed. We repeat our appeal for an i'm
partial inquiry by an able commits
sioner and implore the American peo-
pie to refrain from hasty decision.
The Filipino government views with
alarm Commissioner Harden's pro-
posal to impose in America high
protective tariff against Philippine
products. Iloilo surrendered to the
national army, which is the compile
ton of the occupation of the island
of Panay.

ROMERO is DEAD.
Brilliant Diplomatic Career Of the
Mexican Minister.
For Twenty Years He Represented
His Country at WashingtOn-
Appendicitis the Cause
of Death.

Washington, Dec, 31.-Senor Don
Matias Romero, the Mexican ambas-
sador to the United States, died at
the embassy here Friday morning.
On Wednesday last an operation for
appendicitis was performed upon the
ambassador and, although the opera
tion was entirely successful, the re-
sulting shock proved greater than he
could bear. Up to Thursday evening
it was thought that he was in fair
way to recover, but at that time a
high fever set in and he sank rapidly
until his death.
Senor Romero was one of the most
eminent statesmen and diplomats of
Mexico. He was born in the city OF
Oaxaca, February "a, 1887. In 1855 he
first entered the foreign Office. In De-
cember, 1859, he came to Washington
as first secretary of the Mexican le-
cation and remained here in that ca
pacity until August, 1860, when in the
absence of the minister, he became
charge d'affaires. He returned to
Mexico in 1868 to take part in the
war against the French and was APP
pointed colonel by the president. Soon
after that, President Juarez accredit-
ed him as envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary to Washing
ton. He remained at this post from
October, 1868, until January, 1868,
having rendered most important serv-
ices to his country.
On his return to Mexico he was APP
pointed secretary of the treasury. but
was obliged on account of i'll health to
give up that office in 1872. For three
years he remained in Soconiusco, de-
voting himself to agricultural pur-
suits, and from 1877 to 1878 was again
secretary of the treasury. In 1880 he
served as postmaster general, In
March, 1882, he came back to Wash
ington as envoy extraordinary md
minister plenipotentiary and has re-
mained in that capacity ever since,
with an interruption of only ten
months, in 1892. when, for the third
time he was called to serve as secre-
tary of the treasury. AS representa-
tive of his country in the United
States Senior Romero has shown him.
self most efficient and able diplomat
His efforts have been most successful
in strengthening the friendly ties be-
tween the two nations and with this
object in view he has written great
deal, his productions always receiving
the highest econiums of the press oi
the United States and other countries
Senor Romero was member of the
International American conference
and in that body served with great
distinction, having been one of iti
| two vice presidents. AS representa-
| tive of Mexico in the conference hi

bureau of American republics and

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Popular Young school TeacIra,

Sioux City, Ia, Dec, ga special
to the Journal says: A district school
house about two miles from the vii
lage of Clare was the scene of ter
rible tragedy Wednesday afternoon,
whereby May Thomas, a popular
young teacher, lost her life.
Yesterday afternoon a young man
came to Clare on the northbound Rock
Island passenger train, hired horse
and drove out to the school house
where Miss Thomas teaches. He en-
tered the building and they conversed
for some time, finally walking out to-
gether. After going down the road a
short distance the man drew a revolv-
er and shot her, killing her almost
instantly. He then shot himself and
died few hours later. The young
man was not known at Clare but ii
was learned that his name is Harry
Garvey. He had been keeping COM
pany with Miss Thomas. who refused
his further attentions.

THE FALL OF ILoILo.

AguinaldO's Flag il Flying Over the
City American Troops Arrived too
Late-The situation Becoming COm-
plicated. sas,
Washington, Dec. 29.-There is Q
good deal of anxiety in official circles
here over recent events at Iloilo. Two
official dispatches have been received
by the state and war departments
but it is impossible to gather from
them an accurate knowledge as to the
condition there. 1t is not even possi-
BILE to learn whether the insurgents
or the American forces have taken the
place. Wednesday morning United
States Consul Pratt, at Singapore. ca
bled the state department: "noilo
taken oath. Spanish fled to Borneo."
This threw the officials into deeper
doubt than before. The American
expedition which left Manila to go to
Iloilo, 1000 troops and the warships
Baltimore and Callao, will scarcely
have had time, it is said, to have
reached Iloilo by THE oath inst. So
the inference is that the insurgents
are in possession. Color is lent to this
belief by the fact reported in one tel
egram that the Spaniards had retreat
ed to strongly fortified town on the
island of Mindanao.
Just before noon dispatch came
from Gen. Otis that at once confirmed
the fears of the officials of the war
department as to what has taken
place at Iloilo. 1t appears that the
American forces arrived too late on
the scene and that the insurgents had
added to the difficulty of the prob
lens already presented by hoisting
their flag over the city, which they
have been besieging for months. The
news was contained in the following
message from Gen. Otis:
"Sent Col. Potter on fast vessel to
Iloilo on gath to communicate with
Spanish Gen. Rios; latter evacuated
evening of gath and Potter arrived 80
hours late; insurgents took posses
sion of city on 26th, and Potter found
Aguinaldo's flag flying. Cannot now
report probable results; will not hear
from there for four days, as no cable
communications. Spanish forces have
evacuated all stations in southern isl
ands, except Zamboanga, Mindanao by
orders, as they say, from Madrid
The evacuation by the Spaniards OF
all Philippine ports, as reported by
Gen, Otis, although doubtless inspired
by desire to secure their safety by
concentration, undoubtedly has done
much to complicate the problem al
ready presented the war department
of extending the military jurisdiction
of the United States over the islands
1t will now be necessary to expedite
the execution of the original plans
and it may be fully expected thai
within a week important events will
have happened in the Philippines. i
is presumed that Gen. Otis will de
mand the surrender of Iloilo into his
hands, and this demand may at once
raise the issue between the insurgent.
and our own government of posses
sion of the islands.

A Big strike.

Tacoma, Wash, Dec. 29.-News that
a big strike has been made at the
Leola copper mine has just reached
Tacoma. Several days ago solid FIVE
foot vein of ore was opened just few
feet below the surface, which runs 20
per cent. pure copper and also carries
60 ounces of silver and paying guam
titles of gold to the ton. Several veins
ramify on the property which is
owned by Tacoma capitalists. The
mine is located in the eastern part of
Pierce county, at the foot of Mount
Tacoma, on Canada creek. The fora
nation in the district is practically
identical with that in the Cornwall
copper fields and the ore can be mined
very cheaply. 80.
