, movement in whateve1 barro or suburb
having assurances that all the troops that
surround Manila will proceed without de-
lay TO force the enemy's line and unite
themselves with their brothers in the city.
With such a general movement, so firm
and decided against the Americans the
combat is sure to be a short one and
charge and order that the persons and
goods of all foreigners shall be respected
and that the American prisoners shall be
treated we'll
'Article S-Al of our chiefs In the SUBJ
urbs should prepare groups of the Sanda-
han who will attack with ferocity and de-
ter the Americans within their lines at
tempting to break through their lines
Article gives additional instructions
about throwing and squirting through bam-
boo syringes boiling water, tallow, mo-
lasses and other liquids.
Article 10-In place of bolos or daggers
If they do not possess the same the san
dahan can provide themselves with lances
and arrows with long, sharp heads and
these should be shot with great force in
order that they may penetrate well into the
bodies of the enemy And those should be
SO made that in withdrawal from the body
the head will remain in the flesh
Article lit can be taken for granted
that If the above instructions are observed
the enemy will not be able to use firearms
because of the confusion In his ranks as
they would shoot one another For this rea-
son have always thought the rifle useless
In this kind of combat, for experience has
taught me, my dear brothers, that when
the Sahdahan make their attack with
courage and decision taking advantage of
the confusion in the ranks of the enemy,
the victory Is sure and in that case the
triumph is ours.
Article Pat last, If as I expect the re-
suit shall favor us in the taking of Manila
and the conquering of the enemy the chiefs
are charged with seeing that the officers
and soldiers respect the consulates, the
banks and commercial houses and even the
Spanish banks and commercial houses,
thus taking care that they be not seduced
by the hope of plunder AS If God sees
this he will reward us and the foreign
nations will note the order and justice of
our conduct. 1 charge that in the moment
of combat the officers, soldier and whatever
patriots take part in the struggle will not
forget our noble, sacred and holy idea-lib-
erty and independence. Neither will you
forget your sacred oaths and immaculate
banner: nor will you forget the promises
made by me to the civilized nations whom
l have assured that we Filipinos are not
savages nor thieves, nor assassins, nor are
we cruel, but the contrary, that we are
men of culture and patriotism, honorable
and very humane. Above all l expect that
you will respect the persons and goods of
private persons of all nationalities includ-
Ing the Chinese; that you will treat well
the prisoners and grant life to those of the
enemy who surrender. And that you will
be on the lookout for those traitors and
enemies who by robbery will seek to mar
our victory.

TROPICAL STORM
May Bring Relief from the Present In
tense Heat.

Washington, September 5-12:15 D. m.-
The Weather Bureau has issued the fol-
lowing storm bulletin:
"A tropical storm which has been moving
slowly westward over the Caribbean sea
during the last few days crossed Cuba
Tuesday night and is central this morning
near Key West Fla. Thus far the storm
has been attended only by heavy rains and
winds of moderate force.
The outlook, however, Is that the center
of the disturbance will move northward
over the eastern portion of the Gulf of
Mexico with marked increase Of intensity
and cause dangerous winds along the mid
land east of the gulf, Florida and extreme
southern Atlantic coasts tonight and
Thursday; continuing a northward move
ment the storm probably will be felt as far
north as Norfolk by Thursday night and
is likely to extend over the middle Atlantic
and south New England states by Friday.
AS indicated high easterly winds along the
Atlantic coast, this disturbance promises
to cause general rains over the eastern
part of the country which will cover the
south Atlantic coast and gulf states Thurs
day, the middle Atlantic states Friday and
New England Friday night and Saturday.
1t will also terminate the period of high
temperature which has prevailed east of
the Mississippi.

CONFERENCE OF
COAL OPERATORS
VIII Refuse to Recognize United
Mine WOrkerS-General
Denial Entered.

New York, September 5.-It has been
ascertained that the coal operators who do
business in the anthracite coal districts
discussed at their meeting in this city the
threatened strike among their employees,
and that after lengthy conference a COM
mittee was appointed to draft statement
se.,.ng forth the views of the operators
and refusing to recognize the United Mine
Workers of America.
The statement asserts that the United
Mine Workers and their leaders are COM
posed of soft coal men not familiar with
the conditions of anthracite mining, and
the association of the anthracite men with
the soft coal districts is believed to be
antagonistic to the best interests of the
men and the mine owners. 1t is alleged
that the soft coal interests would reap the
benfit of any troubles or strikes caused by
that organization in the anthracite re-
elons. 1t is alleged that the scale of wages
has not been reduced in over twenty years,
notwithstanding the numerous periods of
business depression and repeated reduc-
ticns in the coal mining regions, but on
the other hand advances have been made
In a great many mines.
The statement also denies that the mar
ket price of coal is higher than in many
years and asserts that 1t is much below
prices received in 1892 and that the profits
of the business have decreased largely
owing to the increasd cost of mining coal.
The statements generally deny the alle-
cations of the miners concerning company
stores, Noncompliance with the law and
forcing men to use the services of the
company DOCTOR"
The mine owners declared that not over
10 per cent. of the labor employed in the
entire anthracite region hold membership
In the United Mine Workers, and that
only a small proportion Of these members
desire strike. The owners say they would
be pleased If present conditions warranted
g. general advance in wages, but, unfor-
tunately, they do not.

The population of Birmingham, as ascer-
tanned by the census enumerators and
issued yesterday in a bulletin from the
census office in Washington, is 49, Ais, be-
Ing an increase of 4675 per cent as COM
pared with the population of 1890 When
birmingham was incorporated In 1871 it
had an estimated population of only So0
In 1880 its population was S,0S6; in 1890 it
was 2617S.
The census for 1900 was unofficially stat
ed In the Age-Herald several weeks ago
to be between $4,000 and 39,00O and the bull
letin issued yesterday was, therefore, SIM
ply confirmatory of the approximate fig
ures with which the public was familiar
Leading citizens who are in the habit of
estimating municipal progress, and espe-
cially increase of population, express them
selves as well satisfied with the work of
the enumerators. No conservative man has
imagined that the population was over 49,
OOO Indeed, the last school census did not
Indicate a population of more than $1,000
The people of Birmingham have never
Deen given to Dragging. 1t is a noteworthy
1act That no general almanac or .encyclo-

e1SOGS ABOUT STEADY
Market Opened Weak Closing
at Previous Days Prices.
TOP PRICE WAS 1882 ~
This Price Was Brought by
Six Fancy Loads,

Hogs sold about steady here yesterday.
The market opened 8 cents lower, but
subsequently, strengthened and closed at
the previous days figures. The demand
was strong and everything was snapped
up as quickly as it entered the yards.
It might be noted that while this mar
ket was steady, other western markets
were weak and lower. Chicago quoted
hogs as 5 to 1Oc lower; Kansas City
said that they were selling weak to 5
cents lower, while St Louis reported the
market fiat cents lower.
The record for the year was again bro
ken yesterday Six loads of premium eX-
ira fancy heavy packers came In from
one shipper and sold for 1921. The six
loads were selected out of a drove Of
1000 hogs, and were as fine lot of
hogs of their class as have been on this
market in many day. For this reason
they sold at what might be called an
outside price The bulk of the hogs
Sold at S. 2o45. 3213.
The quality yesterday was fair. There
Were a number of loads of common hogs
IN, but the general run was of an aver
age grade. The wagon hogs were a fair
lot and brought good prices. The market
was well supplied with toppy hogs by
the six car lots mentioned before. Taken
as a whole, however, the whole run was
not as good a quality as several days Of
the past week
The receipts yesterday were good for a
Friday. The total receipts of the day
aggregated 1,43o. This was about the
same as a week ago and a trifle larger
than a year ago. There was a light run
of wagon hogs, which arrived early in
the day and were out Of the way before
the car lots began TO come in.
