Situation Critical at Manila.
At Manila the situation is critical, but
unyielding attitude of the F'ilipinos. 1t
is reported that the rebel government
at Manila is willing that the Americans
should establish a protectorate on the
condition that they promise to give the
Filipinos absolute independence within
a stated time. 1t is also said that the
Filipinos will demand official recogni-
tion. Efforts are being made to bring
about another conference with the reb-
els. The educated Filipinos are anxious
to avoid trouble, and it is hoped that
the militant F'ilipinos will recede before
wiser counsel. In the meantime the
tension is extreme on both sides.
No German-American Troubles.
New York, Jan. 13.-Major Alphoue
Won Sonnenburg, the German milita,y
expert, who was at Manila during the
blockade by the United States navy
after the battle of Cavite and who is
now in this city, speaking about Rear
Admiral Dewey said: There were
never any honest difficulties between
Dewey and the German, admiral, Won
Diedericks; there was only a theoretical
difference about the Interpretation of one
word in the expression droit de visite-
the right of search. What was the
meaning of. visite, for the forms of
search were different towards different
kinds of vessels. towards merchantmen
and ships of war. But after the friend
hest exchange of letters by the two ad-
mirals. an understanding was at once
reached" Questioned about the attitude
of the native FilipinoS towards the
United States, Major Won Sonnenburc-
was emphatic: THE iE'ilipinos will
fight" he said, unless you give them
what they want. I believe they will
not lay down their arms until they get
self-government."

Interstate Commerce Farce.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The annual
report of the interstate commerce
commission has been given out. The
report says: TO state that the law,
in its present condition, cannot be
enforced, is only to repeat what has
already been said. Until further and
important legislation has been en-
acted, the best efforts at regulation
must be feeble and disappointing.
Meanwhile the situation has become
intolerable both from the standpoint
of the public and carriers"

Ignore Eagan's Defiance.
General Eagan after the hearing was
over refused to say whether he had
a further move in prospect in forcing an
issue between himself and Gen. Miles.
Il have said all intend to say for the
present" he replied. and If any one
wants to bring the matter to a court
martial am ready for that, too, as 1
have already stated before the COM

General Eagan's statements became
known attention was directed to army

Gen. Wood Testifes.
Gen. Leonard Wood, military gov

fore the war investigating commits

the general condition in the island.
He opened with q statement that new

there been a campaign with so small
loss of life. He praised the quality
of the beef furnished.

1t is gathered from the friends OF
Gen. Eagan that he is prepared to ac-
cept the suggestion conveyed in the
letter of the war inquiry commission
and amend his statement Today's
cabinet meeting gave large part OF

testimony. The members declined
to express an opinion as to what, if
anything. could be done in the mat

president and Alger. There is no
doubt the president deeply regrets
the incident, and il is almost certain
that official cogniZance will be taken
of the matter very soon.

A SEASIDE EXPERIENCE.
Little Quiet Joke ON the Family

While we We're at the seaside last
summer sprung a little experiment on
my family. l noticed that husband and
the children were all lacking in energy
and go, and something seemed wrong
with them.
We had been using coffee every morn
ing and it gradually dawned upon me
that perhaps this was the cause.
Without saying anything I bought q
package of the Postum Food Coffee and
having been warned to look out and see
that it was properly made l gave nv
own special attention to it. For about
week we used it and not one of the
family knew but what they were drink
ing the best coffee. When 1 finally told
them it was Postum my husband
laughed and said Let us continue on
the Postum. 1 have been feeling very
much better for the past week and
didn't exactly know why" The differ
ence in the whole family is very mark
ed, and you can imagine I can recon-
mend Postum with good grace and
much pleasure. Mrs. Alice E. Scarlet.

SAD CASE IN HAMDEN.

Miss Mary Gorham, aged As years, of
Hamden, was fatally burned early yes
terday morning. When she awoke and
heard the thunder about 1 a. M, she got
up and went down stairs to be with her
elderly aunt Mrs. Kate. Leek, who is
tmid during storm.
In going up stairs again, the woman
fell backwards and the lamp which she
carried fell to the floor She has been
subject occasionally to epilepsy and it
is thought that an attack seized her,
causing her to fall.
The burning oil ingnited her clothing
and in seconds time she was a mass
of flames.
Her screams brought assistance but
before the flames could be extinguished
she was SO badly burned about the
body that she died at 6 o'clock yesterday
morning. DR.. Swift was called and did
all in his power to elevate her suffer-

VERY CRITICALLY III.
The Smallpox Patient at Springside
Cottage still Alive Last Night.

Although the condition of Mrs. Will
liam Keihl of Lamberton street, the
smallpox patient at Springside home
was very serious yesterday the phys-
clans in charge, felt confident that she
would survive the night. She is receiv-
ing the most attentive care, being I'M
der the constant supervision of two
trained nurses, and although in the
cottage for isolation cases of contagious
diseases the same degree of temperature
prevails in the main building Several
stoves supply the heat which Is distrb-
uted very evenly. Just before her re-
moval to Springside arrangements had
been made for heating the cottage with
steam and new boiler and the neces-
sary piping had been arranged for, but
the patients sudden arrival prevented
the completion of the improvements.
All necessary requisites for heating
the building by steam throughout will
be in place in a short time.

Programme.

Programme.
| Following is the programme for the
concert this afternoon at 4 o'clock at
the Hyperion theater:
Ludwig Won Beethoven, symphony in F
major, No. 8, OPP. 90.
Allegro Vivace e Con Brio
Allegretto Scherzando--
Tempo di Menuetto--
allegro Vivace-
Ruggiero Leoncavallo, prologue to ST
Pagllacci."
Mr.. Miles,
Richard Wagner-A Siegfried Idyll.
Three songs with piano.
a-Peter Ilyitch Tschaikowski-"Th
Only Once
b-"No Tidings Came from Thee
c-Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Serenade from Don Juan.
Mr.. Miles
Jules Massenet-Overture to Phedre.
This will practically be Mr.. Miles de-
but before a New Haven audience. He
has sung here, but only in small way.
He is one of the most talked of singers
in the country at this time. He has
ter and Maine festivals, and every
where one hears good things of his
work. Great interest has been shown
in his appearance at to-day's concert,
and the sale of seats indicates an I'M
usually large audience. Mr.. Miles will
sing the beautiful Prologue" to Il
Pagliacci" and later two songs by
Tschaikowski and the serenade with
string accompaniment from Mozart's
Don juan This should give Mr..
Miles an opportunity to be heard to
best advantage
The orchestral programme is diversi-
fed and interesting. The symphony is
Beethoven's eighth. This has never
been played before by the orchestra,
nor the two other numbers, Wagner's
"Siegfried IdylP' and Massenet's
Overture to Phedre."
In the January number of the Musi-
cal Record w. J. Henderson. the we'll
known critic, made the following pass
ing reference to our orchestra, winch
shows that the great world is aware
of the existence of our organization:
"Our good brethren In England, who
do not know what it means to hear such
concerts as those of the Boston SYM
phony orchestra, and who are quite ig-
norant of the fact that in America such
towns as New Haven and Kansas City
support symphonic concerts, can now
rub their complacent palms together |
and make their annual jest about the |
of opera in the musical |
life of the United States"

THE CH4MBER OF COMMERCE..
Special Meeting Held Last
Night.

| A special meeting of the chamber of
| commerce was held last night to hear
the report of the committee on new en-
terprises concerning the hearing on the
proposed exemption from taxation of
new enterprises which locate in New
Haven. A large attendance was pres
ent. The committee reported that as a
result of the public hearing it would
not recommend that the chamber of
commerce work for any legislation in
that line, but would recommend that
the chamber Of commerce and the court
of common council use their influence
in the general assembly to have passed
an act empowering the court of COM
mon council to cause the assessment
on the increased grand list to be COM
pleted before October 1, 1900. 1t was
voted to authorize President Ford to
appoint an additional committee to CO.
operate with the present committee on
municipal affairs in regard to this mat
ter President George H. Ford, in con-
sequence of this, appointed the follow
ing committee: General e. e. Bradley,
F. Fl. Sperry, Max Adler Henry C.
Rowe and John c. North.
The committee on harbor improve
ment, consisting Of Henry G. Rowe, N.
D. Sperry e. Harrison Wagner, John
c.. North, Herbert Mason, F. c. Bush
nell and Charles I. French, reported,
through the chairman, Mr.. Rowe, as
follows:
ut is with great pleasure that the
committee on harbor improvement is
able to report a complete success in Sc
curing the recommendation of the con-
gressional committee in favor of the ex-
tensive and much needed improvements
for our harbor.
'Those members of the chamber of
commerce who have not given special
attention to this matter may not real
ize that we have secured a recommends
alton in favor of the expenditure of
$345, 900 for dredging the harbor of New
Haven, which is a far larger sum than
the total amount that has been expend-
ed by the government in dredging New
Haven harbor during the whole history
of the city.
"The whole expenditure in dredging
by the government up to the year 1897
project we have secured a recommended
ton for the expenditure of $345, 900, q |
sum exceeding the total previous eXpen-
diture by $105,000. This is to be expend- |
ed in annual appropriations of $4,000 |
each, While the average annual eXpen- /
diture in dredging since 1867 has been
only about $500.
IT have received a letter from Mr..
Sperry, from which l learn that the
whole of the present appropriation is
to be used in the improvement of the
1arbor, and none of it is to apply to the
oreakwater, which, of course, is not
work specially for the advantage of
New Haven, but which affords a farbor
If refuge to vessels passing through the
