Letters TO War Department Intimate
He Is Hiding there.
In the mail from Manila, which arriv-
ed at the War Department on Friday,
there were at least two communications
expressing the conviction that Aguinaldo
is hiding in that city. One of these let
tiers is from a United States secret SER
vice official, who has found conclusive
evidence that the Tagal leader had been
in Manila since the rebel armies in Luzon
were dispersed, and who was satisfied
that, as he had not escaped by water,
he was probably still concealed in the
native part of the town. The other let
ter was from an army officer attached TO
headquarters, who voiced the opinion of
all the higher military authorities that
Aguinaldo was certainly not in any Of
Ahe outlying districts on the island of
Luzon.

comrades, Mygatt says, thirty men of his
company led the unarmed Filipinos into
the jungle and fired volley after volley
into them, until all Of the brown skinnedl

The national House of Representatives
on Wednesday afternoon completed its
record on the Porto Rican tariff bill by
co,acurring in all the Senate amendments.
The final vote was 161 in favor of the
bill and 153 against il, with eleven mem
bers present and not voting. There were
nine Republicans who refused to vote for
the bill but voted against it. They were:
Lorimer of Illinois, Warner Of Illinois,
Crumpacker of Indiana, Lane of Iowa,
Henry G. Smith of Michigan, Fletcher of
Minnesota, Heatwole of Minnesota, Lit
tleheld of Maine, Mccall of Massachu-
sets. These nine Republicans wiped out
the Republican majority of eighteen IL
the House by voting against the party.
The majority for the bill was made up of
Democratic votes. Had all the Demo
Gratis voted against the bill, the nine Re
publican votes that went against it would
have caused the vote to break even.
The Republican leaders secured, by one
vote, the adoption of rule allowing four
hours debate on the motion to concur in
all the Senate amendments. The result
was the adoption by the House of civil
government bill for Porto Rico, which
was not read in its entirety in the House.
The contest over the bill began with the
session of Wednesday, The committee
on rules brought in a rule limiting the
debate TO four hours and fixing the time
for the final vote on the motion TO concur
at ) o'clock. There was forty minutes
debate allowed on the adoption of this
rule. There was bad temper evident on
both sides of the chamber in the begin
ming, and Incorporate language was used
by the leaders on both sides.
The rule was then submitted and was
adopted by vote of 15S to 142. Eight
Republicans voted against it. They were
Littlefield, Mccall, Crumpacker, Lori
mer, Warner, Heatwole, Lane and III. g..
Smith. Mr.. Fletcher of Minnesota voted
for the rule, but afterward voted against
the bill. Announcement of the result was
greeted with applause, and the House
then settled down to the debate upon the
bill. Speeches in favor of the bill were
made by Messrs. Watson of Indiana,
Hopkins of Illinois, Dolliver of Iowa and
Chairman Payne. Its passage was OPP
posed by Congressman Lorimer, Warner
of Illinois, Crumpacker of Indiana, Nc
Call OF Massachusetts and III. G. Smith
Of Michigan.

of fire in front of his lines with English
dead and wounded, and he brought off his
guns and men every time retreat OF
change of base was necessary.
There are many other able soldiers
among the Beers. Commandant Olivier
performed a brilliant feat in landing his
army of 5000 men and q wagon train,
twenty-five miles long, between the Brit
ish lines and the Basutoland border, with
out losing gun, wagon or man, al
though the British cavalry was scouting
all over in an endeavor to reach his lines
and cut off his retreat. That was STRAIT
egy of a high order and military critics
regard the retreat as one of the most mas
terly on record.
Tom Kelly is another strong command
er. He ranks among the first, although
little heard of yet. He is in charge of
the Zoutpansberg department, and has
10000 Kaffirs under him. He is a ram
pant Boer agitator and as fond of fight
ing as a Matabele warrior.
Then there are Gems. Smet, Schalk-

Pretorius, Meyer and host Of others, all
Of whom have already distinguished them

able strategists and artillerists.

MAY REPEAL WAR TAKES.
Congress- Likely to Relieve Some In
terests of Stamp Burden.

tCICots VI otoinp DuIuChs
A special message may be transmitted
to Congress by President Mckinley be-
fore the adjournment of the present ses-
sion, recommending a reduction in the
special war taxes. No official administra-
tive edict has yet gone forth TO cut down
the treasury receipts, but close friends
of President Mckinley state that in view
of the almost abnormally excessive re-
ceipts a plan will be entertained at the
present session to relieve the people from
the onerous burdens caused by the war
tax. Initiative legislation will be taken
in the lower house of Congress, where sew
era hearings and numerous petitions
have already been recorded. designed to
obtain reductions in the special tax on
articles which il is claimed are now ex-
cessively levied upon TO pay the expenses
of the Spanish American war. The food
stuffs, medicines and financial documents
of exchange upon which the special
stamp tax is levied are most likely TO be
favored.
The war revenue stamp taxes If not re-
pealed will produce during the next fiscal
year about $45, 100000 of surplus reve-
nue.. The United States needs no war
chest" like Russia or Germany. There
is already surplus of S15O,OOO,0OO in
the treasury. That surplus needs no ad-
ditions. Then, it is argued, why should
Congress hesitate to repeal those unnec-
essary and irritating taxes which are
forced on the attention of the people
when they buy medicines, send kilograms
or express packages take out insurance,
purchase land, give notes, draw checks,
or make contracts? A prominent mem
ber of the ways and means committee
said the other day that he considered the
taxes on proprietary medicines burden
some and unnecessary, and expressed the
belief that they should be among the first
TO be done away with. 1t is altogether
likely that the first features of the law
to be repealed will be those relating TO
taxes upon such medicines and others
which do not yield much revenue, and are
troublesome to those who have to fix the
stamps.

HOPE OF PEACE GONE.
6OERS, IT is CLAIMED, WILL
FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
st. Helena, Salisbury, Cronje's Sur
render and Other Causes Unite Brit
aims Foes for More Potent Warfare
More Men Now at War.

The Beers have already formed the
opinion that their independence is as
sailed, writes correspondent, and have
put the question of peace, except coupled
with that of sacrifice, beyond hope. The
decision 10 send the captured Beers to
st. Helena makes 1T certain that the
Beers will not surrender except in the
last extremity. The average burgher pre-
fers death to exile. Gen. Cronje's sur
render, instead of being the crushing blow
which it at first seemed, really works to
the ultimate benefit of the federals. The
Beers have more men in the field to-day
than at any time before. England's only
hope of conquering lies in her vast re-
sources, but these are minimized by Boer
tactics. If fought to a finish the war is
certain to result in appalling loss.
Owing to the shortage of arms and
ammunition the latter is manufactured
for use by the Beers. Their artillery is
stronger than when the war began, ow-
ing to the capture of British guns. The
English artillery is tolerably served, but
does little damage. A prominent military
attache thinks six months the lowest
probable duration of the war. The Beers
will probably continue to fight even if
tuey lOSe ITelOTiu, WHICH Is unIlkely u
occur for a long time yet.
Recover from Temporary Panic.
The relief of Ladysmith and Kimber-
ley and Gen. Cronje's disaster coming to-
gether caused the Beers to become panic
stricken, and they temporarily abandoned
Bloemfontein. Had Lord Roberts been
able to follow up his successes the war
might have been ended now. but the
British reached Bloemfontein utterly fag
ged out and recuperation was absolutely
necessary. This afforded time for the
Beers to recover promptly from the pan
ic, and they took full and renewed de-
termination to resist to the bitter end.
On the whole. the military situation
is not necessarily more unfavorable to
the Beers than two months ago. There
are several reasons for this. The re-
serves have been weeded out and fighting
commandos are now composed of resolute
men. AS the war progresses the Beers
learn rapidly and are fighting with great
er skill. The progress of the war has
