NELSON Is FOR EXPANSION,
Minnesota senator Presents Strong Con-

Minnesota senator Presents n Strong Con-
stitutionnl Argument.
The senate was in session for five
hours and half Friday, but the ses-
sion was practically barren of results.
Mr.. Nelson, republican, of Mime
sofa. spoke in opposition to Mr.. Vest s
dnti-expansion resolution. His adj
dress was constitutional argument
in support of the right of the United
States government to acquire territory
He maintained tbat il was no longer
an unsettled question that this couE-
try had the power, not only to acquire
foreign territory by discovery and
conquest or treaty, but also to govern
territory SO acquired.

AGUINALDO SAID TO BE RAPIDLY
CONCENTRATING HIS FORCES.
AGONCILLo DEMANDS RECOGNITION
Islandera Are Under tho Impression That
We Are Trying To Humbug Them.
Outcome Uncertain.

Advices from Manila via Hong
Kong state that the Indepencia news
paper) issued supplement Wednes-
day containing n dispatch purporting
to come from Malolos, the sent of the
rebel government.
1t comments upon the appointment
of the commission and says:
'"The Filipinos naturally suspect
this new attempt to humbug. Dewey
and Spencer Pratt promised us indie
penlcnce if the Filipinos republic was
stable The Filipinos are disillusion-
ed. They believe the commission is
n rusc to gain time until they have ac-
cumulatcd formidable forces, when
America, abusing her strength, will
begin war to ratify her sovereignty"
The Independence then adds that
all the commissioners are pnrtisans of
colonial expansion and incidentally
asserts that the archbishop also fn-
vors annexation "with the sole object
of gaining the s.mpathies of the win
ming side, immaterial which, in the
interests of the religious corporations
The Filpnos of Catallona and Gega-
galin, mistaking salutes exchanged
between British and German warships
on JANUARY 18th, moved 5000 men to
the front of battle, covering the adj
iacent country, but they did not at
tack the American lines.
Reports from the interior indicate
that Aguinaldo's authority is now gen
orally recognized. Every available
man is being recruited and arms depots
are being established at San Bardino,
Union, Trinidad and other large
towns.
The surrounding country is being
levied on for supplies and the Filipino
troops are living on the fat of the land,
while the native villagers are com

- It is estimated that there are fully
$4,000 Filipinos under arms. and it is
said that there are nearly fifty Maxim
guns Mt MalOlos, some of them having
been recently acquired.
The Filipino military authorities
are convinced. they say, that the
Americans will he unable to work
effectively outside of Manila in the
event of hostilities, hence they feel
confident in the future.

Agoncilio Wants Recognition.

A Wash ington special says: Senor
Lopez, secretary of Agoncillo, the
Washington representative of Aguinal-
do, called at the state department at
l o'clock Wednesday afternoon and
lodged with the chief clerk commu
nication which, according to the com
mon expectation, marked the critical
stage in the Philippine question. This
is the third attemp pt made by the Fill
pino representatives to secure official
recognition from the United States
government.
The adviccs from Manila, which
have reached the war department, are
far from reassuring. 1t is understood
that General Otis reports an expecta-
tion on his part that the insurgents
are about to force an issue, and if this
should he SO. the result cannot be
foresccn. Manila itself, and not Iloilo,
as might at first be supposed, is re-
garded the danger point just now.
General Otis is so sure of his ground
that the officials here feel no doubt
as to the outcome of n hostile collis-
ion between the American and insur
gent forces under Aguinaldo, particu-
larly ms General Otis would have the
enormous advantage Of the full CO.
operation of the American feet under
Dewey.
But it is particularly desirable that
even battle ending in victory be
avoided Just now, for the president
has by no means surrendered his con-
victiOn that the misguided Filipinos
can be brought to an understanding of
the real objects of the United States
and peacefully accept the conditions
sought to be imposed.

and the bank never entered appearance.
A judgment was rendered and execution
was ordered, and the property was sold
by the sheriff and bought by Edward
Swentzeu in trust for the company. But
it is since learned that the whole proceed
fngs conveyed no title for the reason Of
Kies' neglect to place such seal, and the
bank still holds its fee title. In the mean
time the bank failed and the receiver or
dered this property sold, and did sell It to
James H Stewart, conveying it TO him
by deed. Now the Anglo-American Land
and Mortgage company, in order to get a
release from Stewart. had to pay him $780,
and they sue B. E. Kies for this amount
on account of his alleged negligence to
affix his official seal.

Will You Vote Early?

Every voter for the improve
ment of Wichita should next
Tuesday go to the polls and vote
in the morning. Don't put
your vote off until the after
noon. Vote before noon. Vote
on your way down town in the
morning. The reason for this is
that it helps get out the whole
registered vote. Urge your neigh
bOrs and friends to vote in the
morning, and vote at that time
of day yourself. By voting in
the morning you will relieve the
congestion in the afternoon. Get
one friend to vote in the morning
and vote then yourself. 1t is
important.
