UNFRIENDLYNESS
OF GERMANY

New York, Feb. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Rear
Admiral Dewey has notified the navy de-
partment that he has found another
schooner loaded with arms and ammuni-
ton intended for Aguinaldo and his fol-
lowers. Information in possession of the
authorities is to the effect that the Ger
man consul at Hong Kong was concern
ed in the sale of arms to the Filipinos and
this fact may account for their action in
keeping the matter secret There is rea-
son to believe, however, that the matter
has been brought unofficially at least to
the attention of the German authorities
and that a representative of the Berlin
government has declared his conviction
that it was wholly unaware Of the con-
duct of it's representative. The authori-
ties feel satisfied that the German consul
will not be permitted to continue his un-
friendly course.
This is not the first evidence the au-
thorities have obtained showing the un-
| friendliness Of the German consul for the

United States. The state department re-
Gently received information that this
officer had been instrumental in the pur-
chase by agents of Aguinaldo from Ger
man firm in Hong Kong of something like
10000 stand of arms and ammunition
which We're safely delivered in the Philip
pines. 1t seems therefore that through
German agencies the Filipinos are quite
we'll armed.
1t is expected that Great Britain Will
take steps to prevent the shipment OF
arms and ammunition to the Filipinos
from Hong Kong and it may be that their
prevention will cause the traders in Hong
Kong to move their wares to Chinese ter
rtory and then ship them to the archl-
pelago 1t will also be practicable for the
Filipinos to send supplies from Cochin
China.

intend to show any vacclatiOn in thi :
matter. The policy to be pursued is tn
same as that adopted immediately upc
the outbreak of the war with Spain
concentrate every effort to break dows
the power of the enemy in the quckes
possible time. No apprehension is felt q
to the result of the attack on Iloilo Gen
Miller has at his disposition about 5000
men and he will be aided in his operations
by the cruisers Baltimore and. Boston and
the SunboRts Petrol and Concord. There
are said to be about 10000 natives defend
ing the town, but they are badly armed
and it is not believed any great difficulty
will be experienced in driving them out.
AS to the future policy of the admins
tration in the Philippines the president
has determined to take no action until the
report of the Schurman commission is re-
celved. Secretary Alger announced that
no action will be taken looking to the
dispatch of renfOrcements to Manila UNI
til after the cabinet meeting tomorrow.
Beyond advising the different vessels of
the engagement with the insurgents ana
of the necessity of being prepared in case
they should be needed for service in the
far east, Secretary Long has done moth
ing which will result IN the assl lgnment of
additional vessels to Rear Admiral Dew
ey's command.
1t was said that Rear Admiral Dewey,
before the outbreak of the insurgents, ca
bled to Secretary Long that in his opinion
he would have a sufficient force. when ali
the vessels ordered to join him arrived to
cope with the insurgents. 1t is under
stood, however, that the department has
practically determined to hasten the re-
construction of the former Spanish gun
boats now at Hong Kong, in order that
they may be ready for service by the lat
ter part of spring. Maj. Bird, assistant
quartermaster general! who has charge
| of transportation. has been making ar
rangements during the day for the lmme-
| diate mpressment of steamers in case the
department requires them to carry troops
i to Gen. Otis. The navy department has
decided to send a cargo of ammunition by

said that Gen. Otis has about o.0Oo,OoO
cartridges and plenty of ammunition for

GENERAL MILES
PRAISES TROOPS

Washington, Feb. 7.-Major General
Nelson A. Miles pays a glowing tribute
to the valor of the American soldiers in
the fight at Manila.
1.-THE American soldiers have again met
with remarkable success, just as they
have all through the war; he said. "This
last conflict and it's glorious results is but
another testimonial to the courage, patri-
Otism and gallantry of our soldiers.
They respond nobly to a call to duty and
acqut themselves with honor. All re-
ports show that officers and men distin-
guished themselves by their GOODNESS and
true American fortitude under fire. Their
herosm add to the fame of our army l
feel quite certain that the conflict will
have a salutory effect upon the insur-
gents and will doubtless discourage them
from renewing hostilities."

INSTRUCTIONS TO
THE COMMANDERS
OF THE LAND AND NAVAL FORCES
IN THE PHILIPPINES ARE
SENT.

New York, Feb. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Instruc-
tons have been sent to Maj Gen Otis
today directing him to communicate to
the insurgents the information that the
treaty of Paris had been ratified by the
senate and to continue his operations
against them so as to promptly crush the
revolt against American sovereignty.
The cruiser Boston, which left Manila
on Monday for Iloilo, ostensibly to re-
iieve the Baltimore, carried with her in
structions to Brig. Gen. Miller to at once
occupy Iloilo with or without the consent
of the natives theret In adopting such a
vigorous policy against the insurgents
the president is actuated by a desire to
bring to an end with all dispatch the re-
bellious movement Aguinaldo has started
against this government. 1t was deter
mined upon as the result of the confer
ence in the executive mansion today
which was participated in by the presi-
dent, Secretary Alger and Secretary
Long. At this conference instructions to
Gen. Otis and Rear Admiral Dewey were
prepared along the lines indicated. These
officers were directed to cooperate in the
campaign and the president assured them
nf his confidence in their ability and dis
cretion.
Approaching the impossibility Of oper
ating q campaign from Washington, Gen.
Otis has been notified that the president
leaves in his hands the conduct of the
war. but he is directed to act vigorously
and bring Aguinaldo and his followers to
subiection with all possible dispatch. 1t
;s the confident belief of the president
that as soon as Aguinaldo learns Of the
ratification Of the treayy he will appre-
ciate the futility of a conflict with the
United states and will be willing to make
tarn7s of surrender. 1t is assumed that
Aeoncillo, who is in Montreal has taken
measures to inform Aguinaldo of the ac-
tion of the senate, but Gen. Otis will be
ahead of him and will send the informa-
tian into the insurgent lines without de-
Law Secretary Long, for the information
of Rear Admiral Dewey, cabled to that
officer the simple message:
"Treaty ratified"
IT is possible, of course, that Aguinaldo
may continue fighting, in which event he
will be shown no quarter, but will be re-
leutlessly pursued until he is forced to
surrender. President Mckinley does not

On Saturday A. l.. Noble, represent
ing the republican party, discovered
what he termed fatal error in the
nomination papers filed in the county
clerk g Office on October 18th by the
chairman and secretary of the Peoples
party convention. and there was con-
siderable talk among the faithful of ap-
plying to the court for an injunction TO
restrain the printer from printing the
Peoples party ticket on the Official bal
lot as certified by the county clerk
The point raised by Mr. Noble was that
the name of the party making the NOM
nation was not designated. This we
deny. The party appellation is as plain
as words can make it and the law has
been complied with, If the session laws
of 1897 as distributed by the secretary
of state are genuine. Perhaps Mr.. No
ble's law book is a little finer blooded
and it may provide for things that the
common herd of books does not pro-
vide for, but we are skeptical enough
to doubt 1t. Last year the same kind
of nomination paper was filed and no
objection was raised. How they in
tended to get out an injunction when
the law provides that no Injunction can
issue and no objection can be raised to
restrain the placing of name or names
on the ballot unless it is done at least
twenty days before the election. is an
other thing we cannot understand.
Perhaps Mr. Mobiles books contain a
special law to overcome that difficulty.
However that may be, there will be Ito
injunction. but if County Attorney
Griffin is authority the republicans are
thinking of apply ing to the courts for a
new lease of power in the event of their
defeat at the polls. If they do they
will find that Mobiles special laws don't
go in the courts and that the will of the
people is not very easily defeated. The
fact is the republicans have given up
struggle on the deathbed. The Populist
nominations were legal and regular
moreso than the republican nomination
of the candidate for commissioner
This matter has been thoroughly inves-
tigated by one of the best lawyers in
Medicine Lodge and be pronounces the
papers good. Our only regret Is that they
/, did not try to keep the Peoples party
ticket off the ballot. They would have
fallen as fiat as they did when they tried
to get B. 3. Daugberty's name off the
Popnlist aud democratic tickets.
