Manila, P L, Jan. GA dispatch to
lthe independents from Malolos, the
Nseat of the so-called Filipino govern
ment, says the governors of all the
provinces of Luzon have assembled at
Malolos for the purpose Of offering their
lives and property to the president and
government, in adhesion to their policy.
Continuing, the dispatch says: They
say they fought only for the indepen-
dence of the Philippines and are unwil
ling TO surrender to strangers
Commenting upon President McKin-
leys proclamation to the Filipinos, is
sued on Wednesday by General Otis,
the Independencia, which is a native
paper, says the problem presented is
most grave. It admits that there are
only two solutions possible, namely,
the Americans abandonment of their
annexation policy, claiming that the
people here are not DESTROYS of alb
sorption in their nationality, or pro-
longed and bloody warfare. 1t cites the
example of the noble patriots Of IlOilo
defying General Miller" and expresses
hope for a pacific termination of the
crisis, but hints of trouble.
The official organ, the Republica, is
less aggressive, but is indisposed to ac-
cept the suggestions of General Otis in
their entirety. The Spanish papers are
evidently afraid to comment upon the
situation.
The California regiment is still on
board the transports here, awaiting or

midas NEW RULER INSTALLED
LORD CURZoN ASSUMES THE
VICEROYALTY.
Brilliant and Striking Scene at the
Government House at Calcutta
Retirement of Lord Elgin-

Calcutta, Jan. 6-Lord Curzon of
Kedleston formally assumed the vice.
royalty of India. A large gathering at
the government house witnessed the
ceremony. At $50 a. m. the new vice
roy, preceded by his aide-de-camp, ar
rived at the government house and pro-
ceeded to the throne room, where he
shook hands with the Earl of Elgin,
the retiring viceroy, with the latter's
family, with aide-de-camps, the mem
bers of the council and others
General Sir William Lockhart the
COMMUNICATIVE chief of the British
forces in India, then formed Lord Cur
IONS procession and the whole party
proceeded 70 the council room, where
the impressive royal warrant appoint
of India was read. The ceremony.
though formal. was most striking, the
brilliant uniforms of the officials and
the foreign consuls lending much color
to the scene. Lady Curzou was among
those present.
A royal salute was fired and the ma
tienal anthem was played.
Directly after the warrant had been
read the Earl OF Elgin and Lady EIgin
and their immediate family left the
government house. Lord Curzon ac-
companied the Earl of Elgin to the
Riverside, and then returned to the
government house, escorted by a full
body guard of the Calcutta light horse.
The route was lined by troops. An
other royal salute was fired and the
squadron of vessels in the Hoogly dis
played all their bunting.
The Earl of Elgin embarked on
board a launch, which took him to the
steamer Give, at Diamond harbor, on
his way to ENGLAND.
