MANILA, Jan. 5.-Major General Otis.
military commander of the United States
forces in the Philippine islands, has issued
proclamation to the Fflipinos based upon
instructions received by cable from Presi-
dent Mckinley. The proclamation, which
consists of 700 words only, appeared to-day
in all the papers simultaneously

dent McKinley's instructions. saws the Amer
lean government intends, while directing
affairs generally to appoint representative
men, forming the controlling element, to
civil positions. He also expresses himself
as convinced that the United States gov
ernment intends to seek the establishment
in the islands Of most liberal government
In which the people will be as fully repre-
sented as the maintenance of law and order
Will permit susceptible of development. on
lines of increased representation and the
bestowal of increased power into gov

joyed by the most favored provinces in the
world To this end he invites the full conf

A FRIEND OF GILLETT.
Mr.. Hunt Trying to Arrange Matters
with the Cattle Kings Creditors.

KANSAS CITY Mo-, Jan. 5.-Charles F.
Hunt, the stockman of Chihuahua, Mexico,
who is reported to have come north as the
agent of Grant G. Gillett, the Kansas cattle
plunger, was in conference here to-day with
several of Gillett's creditors. To all inter-
viewers, however. Hunt denies that he in any
war represents Gillett or that he is trying to
arrange for Giletts return to the United
States. The most that he VIII say is that
he is a friend of Gillett; that he met Gillett
daily in Chihuahua; that Gillett is still there,
and that his family is en- route to Mexico
to join him. When pressed as to the object
of his conference with Gillett's creditors, Mr..
Hunt said: Il am a friend of Gillett, and l
believe that some good could be done both
to Mr.. Gillett and his creditors by establish
ing communication between them.

THE SOUND MONEY LEAGUE
Adopts Resolutions Asking Tor Congressional
Action on Financial Matters.

New York, March 30.-The committee
appointed by the Central Council of the
National Sound Money League at its
recent meeting held to draw up resolu-
tons setting forth the purposes of the
league and report latter, has drawn up
the following:
THAT the National Sound Money
League demands that declaratory act
of Congress be passed making all
bonds. notes or other obligations of the
United States payable in the lawful
unit of value. which is by statute a dol
lar made of gold: also an act of legis-
lation giving the holder of any note or
coin of the United States the right to
demand redemption under suitable
prohibition in respect to subsidiary
coins of less than 81 each in said unit
of value or dollar made of gold or it's
multiples in other coin.
THAT so long as the government
continues to Reissue it's notes TO circu-
late as money, the league favors legis-
lation establishing separate bureau
of issue and redemption to the treasury
department. in which shall be held a
separate reserve of gold coin in sufIi-
Gent amount to assure the prompt re-
demption OF all the demand obligations
of the government.
