officers Joining Insurgents.

Manila, April 5.--There are persistent
cumors today that Aguinaldo, the in
surgent leader has been supplanted in
the control of Filipino affairs by Gen
eral Antonio Luna, commander in-chief
of the Filipino forces Luna is describ-
ed as being a typical belligerent.
The United States cruiser Charleston
which has been cruising along the west
coast Of Luzon to the north, sent a
boat inshore near Dagupan last Satur
day to make soundings. The rebels
opened fire, wounding United States
officer The cruiser thereupon bonn
barded the town, the insurgents eVacu-
ating 1t.
The proclamation of the United States
Philippine commission was posted in
the streets, printed in English, Spanish
and Tagalos today. 1t was also dis
tributed in the outside towns as far as
Malolos, and has been received with
marked attention by the natives gen
orally, and has been approved by a
number of representative Manilans.
English bankers here who have been
interviewed on the subject are optimis-
tic upon the attitude of the Americans
assuming that it indicates that the de-
csive policy will undoubtedly be sue
cesSful.
A Spanish banker who was inter-
viewed expressed fear that the procla-
nation win not reach the masses con-
trolling the rebellion, because, he eX-
planned, the Filipinos at Manila are
mostly domestics and clerks, who have
no definite opinions, and the Tire-pull-
ers outside of the city have undouht-
eddy intercepted it. Continuing, the
Spanish banker said that if the proc
samauon. had been issued on May .. CT
even Aug. IA of last year. the result
would have been different. as, in his
opinion, based on twenty years eX-
perience, the only argument which ap-
peals to the masses here is the gun.
The editor of the Oceanica thinks the
proclamation is the most polite docu-
ment ever published in the Philippine
islands, and that it is bound TO convince
the wavering of the folly. of further
hostilities
An English merchant says the first
clause, with reference to the establish
ment and maintenance of American SOW
ereignty and warning the rebels, should
settle the question in the mind o.
every thinking Filipino.
A Scotch shipowner thinks it does
not leave any further doubt as to the
policy of the United States, and that
consequently Aguinaldo must submit &c
the inevitable, as the continuance OF
hostilities is opposed to the best inter-
eStS of the Philippines.

The annual report of the division of
mineral resources of the geological sur
vey says the consumption of sulphur
and the amount of iron pyrite burned
for sulphur contents in the United
States in 1898 exceeded to a consider
able extent the domestic consumption
during any similar period in our his
tory. The amount of sulphur mined, as
slch, in this country, however, was less
than in any year since 1894, and as COM
pared with the imports and consump-
ton. has no appreciable effect upon the
total. The product of 1900 tons, all OF
which was from Beaver county, Utah
represented less than one-third of 1 per
cent of our total consumption, esti-
mating the sulphur contents of domes-
tic and imported pyrite ore at As per
cent.

important business with the war de-
partment. lie comes from the Philip
pine islands. and says the reports of the
excellent health Of the American troops
are false. DR.. Harris stated that many
United States soldiers. disheartened
over their physical condition, deliber-
ately place themselves as a target for
the enemy's guns.
1t is the opinion of DR.. Harris that
if the American troops remain in the
Philippines any great length of time,
sickness and death is sure to follow

Attack Upon Crisp.

Attack Upon Crisp.
Albany, Ga, April 5.-Henry Waiter
son, who lectured here tonight, gave
out the following statement:
"The impression has gone out that
the statement recently made by a cor
respondent of the Courier Journal, that
the late Charles T. Crisp was 'scheming
for a senatorship when he died. was an
editorial utterance. Especially has this
idea been unduly magnified by certain
newspapers whose admiration for Chas.
f. Crisp lacks great deal of being
equal to my own.
ne ruth of the matter is the state
ment over which SO much commotion
has been raised was made by a CORE
spondent acting on his own RESPONSE
bility, and not sufficiently edited. The
pretense that it was editorially sane
toned is absurd, for no one who keeps
in touch with Georgia politics could
fail to know that Mr.. Crisp's election
was a matter of but a few days when
he died. The matter is so trivial that
ordinarily l would not notice it, but
while soiourning here for few DAYS
in the section of Georgia where Mr..
Crisp lived, l cannot permit it to go
unchallenged."

Revision of Muster Rolls.

Havana, April 5.-The dissolution OF
the Cuban military assembly an
nounced in these dispatches last night
| does not cause any particular comment
| among CubanS or Americans here, such
a step having been anticipated two
| weeks ago. The American military au-
thorities while pleased that an obsta-
Gle to the disposal of the Cuban army
has been removed, had been prepar-
ing to distribute the S3,000Q00 without
the aid of the assembly's rolls by caus-
ing to be drawn up duplicate rolls. In
this work the provincial governors
were cooperating with the Cuban COM
manders in their provinces. In addi-
ton, the assembly's rolls are being YER
flied and corrected by independent in
quiries, task that may last another
month. In spite of this, the distribu-
ton of money to the Cuban soldiers will
possibly begin in the vicinity of Havana
within a. fortnight.
The general rules controlling the dis
tribution are to exclude all men who
have enlisted since July II, 1898, and tc
exclude former soldiers now holding
government positions or belonging &c
the rural grades, firsr paying each pri-
vate and non-commissiOned officer 500
Then if, as expected, a balance re-
mains, 800 will be paid to each officer
II after this there is any money left
it will be disposed of as the president
directs.
Rumors recently circulated to the
effect that the headquarters of the
governor general will soon be removed
to the City of Santa Clara are abso-
lutely denied by Governor General
Brooke.
It is reported that hereafter the
editors of newspapers will be RESPONSE
Bile for articles published by them.
Heretofore individual writers have
been held legally accountable and the
editors have hired scapegOats to serve
out the sentences imposed for articles
infringing the law.
Ernest Lee Conant and his associates
on the special commission inquiring
into Havana finances, in the course of
an exhaustive report to the local
authorities today, estimate the city's
income on the new plan at 81, 1900 d
year, or L per cent more than former
estimates based upon the old regime.
General Chaffee and family will sail
for New York tomorrow By the
Orizaba, which will carry the family
of General Humphreys.
A benefit performance is being given
this evening at the Tacon theatre in
aid of the Cuban soldiers.
Plantation raids and the carrying off
Of cattle and horses by outlaws are
reported today as taking place IN the
provinces of Puerto Principe, Santa
Clara, Matanzas and Pinar del Rio.
The Cuban troops in the district are
chasing the mauradeTs, no United
States troops thus far having been
sent after them.
The military administration intends
to suppress the so-called brigands at
widely separated points by means Of
the rural guards and has no present
intention of sending American cavalry
or infantry through the unknown ana
tangled wilderness after these nimble
thieves.

DEWEY In Good Health.

Washington, April admiral Van

said today that all the recent reports
received from Manila showed that Ad-
miral Dewey was in excellent health
The surgeon of the Boston has recently
arrived from the Manila station, and
the surgeon general specially inquired
of him as to Admiral Dewey's health.
The response was most satisfactory,
showing that from the standpoint of a
naval surgeon, closely identified with
the admiral, he was in as good health
as could be expected in such eli
mate.
