Were any confirmation needed that the
Aguinaldo party intended the massacre
of all non Filipinos in Manila and to burn
the city itself, it has been supplied by
Gen. Thomas NJ. Anderson (retired). He
was in command of the troops at that
critical time in Manila, and in regard to
the wild Statements of Senators Petit
grew and Allen he says in signed COM
munication:
"Sir-In the report of Senator Spoon
er's speech in relation to the suppression
of the Philippine insurrection, it appears
that Senator Pettigrew denied that TheO-
dore Sandico issued a proclamation or
dering the determination Of all inhabit-
ants of Manila-men, women and chill
dren-except Filipino families. | was
then in command of the district south Of
the Pasig river, and found the proclama-
ton posted in conspicuous places in my
part of the city. | had them torn down

hntW HIS hOltONtIs
of my command arrested two Filipino
men in women's clothes setting fire to the
houses in the city. They were brought
to me and had them turned over to the
provost marshal general.
Senator Allen also asserted that Senior
Torres came into the city under flag of
truce to ask for suspension of hostili-
ties. As l know that Torres was within
our lines when the fighting began it is not
apparent how he came in, when it seems
almost impossible for him to have gotten
out On the 9Th of February white flags
were hung out from every Filipino house
in Manila, and the few Filipinos who
ventured into the streets carried little
white flags as an evidence of submission.
Senator Aliens reliable Informant seems
to have forgotten to mention this circum-
stance in saying that he saw Torres going
to headquarters under a flag of truce.
Torres naturally inferred, without con-
sultation, that Aguinaldo would like a
suspension of hostilities, for in front of
our first division alone the insurgents had
lost in one day 700 killed and drowned,
900 prisoners and seven cannon.
: T send this communication to correct,
So far as my testimony is relevant, a very
erroneous impression.

Th0s. H. Baker on Moral Sup

AguinaId0 Would Have Been a Peaceful
Citizen hut for the Encouragement
Given HIM by Sentimental
Traitors.

l do not believe that the Southern Dor
der States would have seeded from the
Union in 1861 but for the aid and COM
fort given them by the Copperheads of
the North. When one distinguished ora
tor declared that the Union army would
have to march over the dead bodies of
10000 Indiana Democrats before they
reached the South, the magnificent utter
ance electrified Tennessee with hope.
Thousands Of men hesitated upon the
brink of the awful abyss. They loved
the Union and hated the Abolitionists.
The Union was theory" entwined with
beautiful and patriotic sentiments. Slav-
cry was a condition" in which was in
vested the hard earnings of a lifetime.
At the supreme crisis came the promise
of Northern Democrats that they would
not let us be hurt; their bitter denunciG-
tons Of the Republican party. The South
made the leap.
During the war we saw Indiana regi-
ments and brigades march through the
State of Kentucky. Tramp" Tramp"
Tramp" they passed through Tennes-
see, Georgia and South Carolina. We
never did learn how the poor fellows got
over those 10000 dead bodies Of their
Democratic friends and neighbors. We
were fully persuaded they killed and
made a corduroy road of them, because
the anti-imperialists of Indiana said they
would.
Our next hope after we got mixed up
together was that England and France
would help US for commercial reasons.
Vallandigham, Stevenson and thousand
other Copperheads like the good brethren
who held up Joshua's arms, held ours up
by encouraging us to hold out a little
longer, by denouncing the war a fail
ure" and keeping us posted as to the
movements of our enemies.
This is all ancient history, but 1, an old
Confederate, can see very readily how
the anti-imperialist league can materially
aid Aguinaldo and his crowd. Every old
soldier, North and South, understands
the force Of moral support. Our war
would not have lasted three months but
for Northern Democratic encouragement
ard I believe Aguinaldo would have been
a. peaceful a citizen as Gomez but for
the encouragement he has received from
the sentimental traitors of the Anti-Im-
perial League.

Makes Five Families
Poor.

A fire that completely wiped out three
two-story houses broke out in Charles
Becker's roadhouse, No. I'll Tonnele ave-
nue., shortly after six o'clock last even
ing. The two adjoining houses, Nos. 709
and 707, were soon ablaze.
The three houses burned like a huge
tinder box. They were isolated from other
houses. Had they not been the fire would
have been one of much greater propor-
tions.
1t is not known how the fire originated.
1t is believed to have started from the
rear of the cellar of Becker's roadhouse.
The occupants of the three houses were
not only rendered homeless, but they lost
almost ali their furniture.
The houses were located at the bottom
of the steep hill, known as the Western
Slope, and it is impossible to reach there
with fire apparatus without going through
a long and circuitous route. There was
also a great scarcity of water and fire.
men who reached the scene were thus
additionally Handicapped in their work.
Nos. 9, Z, II, II and "A Engine Com
panies and No. Truck Company re-
sponded to first and second alarms Mr..
Becker and his family, consisting of his
wife and several children, lost everything.
The roadhouse was owned by Jacob Kies-
semetter of Secaucus.
The two adjoining buildings were owned
by Mrs. Voss. She and her family OF
grown up children, one of them married,
occupied No. 709 James Viedemann and
family and two other families of the
name of Rebers and Borchert occupied
No. 707.
The loss is estimated at between ten
and twelve thousand dollars. Becker S
roadhouse was a sort of station for stage
coach passengers bound along the county
route to Snake Hill.

TWO OVERCOME BY GAS
Flynn Was Found Dead and
Mrs. O'Rourke Uncon-
scious in Old House.

The police made startling find this
morning in an old rickety house at No. All
Third street, which is too dilapidated for
regular tenants to occupy. Thomas Flynn
was found dead and Mrs. O'Rourke I'M
conscious from coal gas.
The house has sheltered many homeless
unfortunates for months and of late has
harbored an unusually large number who
found themselves too poor to- obtain
proper home. Two of the most conspicu-
Gus the ha'bitues of the place were
Thomas Flynn, thirty-four years old, and
Mrs. Kate o'Rourke, fifty-fve years old
Flynn was in poor physical condition for
a long time and Mrs. ORourke was very
feeble from age. For these reasons
number of the neighbors were kind to the
pair. and did what they could for their
comfort Food was brought to the old
house and they lived as well as possible
under the circumstances.
There are many holes and cracks in the
house and to heat it the inhabitants used
a large milk can in which fire was al
ways burning. Wood was easily obtained,
but the question of coal was always a
often used than hard. Soft coal gives
quantities and it happened that soft coal
was used Sunday night.
Flynn and Mrs. O'Rourke and several
others were in the building ait the time
All but Flynn and Mrs. O'Rourke left
early in the evening and it Is thought that
Flynn and the woman must have fallen
asleep At any rate nothing was seen of
them all day yesterday SO an investiga-
ton was started.
Chanceman William Sheehan of the
First precinct police station was notified
that an accident might have happened.
He forced an entrance into the house and
found the couple apparently dead An ex-
animation developed the fact that Flynn
was dead. Mrs. O'Rourke was uncon-
scious and was removed to the City Hos
pital, where she is slowly recovering.
Flynn's body was removed to Speer's $
morgue. Asphyxiation by coal gas was
the cause of Flynn's death.
