Washington. Aug. ia high gov
ernment official said yesterday that the
indemnity which the United States
would demand for every American citi-
zen killed or MANNED by the Chinese
during the present trouble would be
sufficiently comfortable to support
their families for the remainder of
their lives. This government does not
want a province. a town, village, or a
single square foot of Chinese territory
as indemnity" said the official, who is
close to the president. There is but
one indemnity which they can give our
people, and that is a monetary indem-
nifty to the families of their American
victims"

THE FILIPINO AMNESTY.
Why Aguinaldo Does Not Accept
the Proclamation.
FEARS HE WOULD BE EXCEPTED.

Gen. Pio Del Pillar Desires TO Become
On Good American Citizen-CoI. Pet
tit, Tried by Court Martial, Restor-
ed to His Regiment.
Washington, Aug. l4.-Copies of
Manila papers received at the war de-
partment contain a letter purporting
to be from a personal friend OF Agui-
naldo, which states that the Filipino
chief does not take advantage of the
amnesty proclamation because some
time ago he gave orders to his follow
ers to break up into guerrilla bands.
The amnesty order excepts those who
violated the laws of war and it states
that Aguinaldo fears that he would be
in the excepted class, should he un-
dertake to surrender under the am
nesty proclamation.
The letter is dated at B!ac-No- o-Bato,
which is said to be the present pro-
visional headquarters of Aguinaldo. 1t
states. however. that Aguinaldo never
stays more than one night in a place
and only a few hours in any one To-
cation He allows no one To come
near him, except his most intimate
personal friends.
A dispatch in one of the papers,
dated at San Pedro Macati. states that
Gen. Pho Del Pillar. who recently sur
rendered. says he wishes to become a
good American citizen. and intends to
accept the American terms offered to
his people He said he would like
nothing better than to raise a regiment
of native Filipinos TO serve in China.
Copies of orders received at the war
department announce the sentence of
Jacinto Enron. a native. Enron was
sent to the penitentiary for five years.
The order states that Enron was a
member of a band Of outlaws operating
in Cagayan province, Luzon. which
committed various outrages upon the
whole population and kept the people
in a constant state of terror.
The orders also contained the ac-
quital of Col. James S. Petit Thirty
first volunteer infantry. who was
charged with being responsible for the
death of prisoner named Juan Ramos
by turning him over to the president of
Zamboanga. The findings and the ac-
quittal are disapproved by Gen. Mac
Arthur, who says that, notwithstand-
ing the alleged character of the prison.
er. which tended to reveal him as a
guerrilla or outlaw. he was neverthe-
less entitled to protection, and to have
his guilt determined in the regular way
by war tribunal. Although the acqut-
tai is disapproved, there was nothing
further for Gen Macarthur to do, and
he restored Col. Petit to his regiment.

Is eastward. Tidal waves are as fixed

Those great rivers Of the ocean how
from time to time and no one shall

There has not been a disaster Of
analogous nature to that Of Calves
ton except that OF the sea islands Of
the Carolinas and Georgia since st.
Thomas was almost destroyed. The
harbor Of Charlotte Aemlia, the crater
Of an extinct volcano, was swept by
a so-called tidal wave, which took
every ship In the harbor and landed
them either against the mountain
sides or the crevices Of the foothills.
That wav was due. It was supposed,
to an earthquake, but it must have
been a submarine earthquake, for the
land Of the island was not shaken. An
other remarkable so-called tidal wave
was that which took the store
ship Wateree about three miles inland
from africa and landed her between
two small hills. which made It i'm
possible for the United States to gel
to it without expanding more money
than the ship wal worth. There have
not been such disasters due to cumu-
lative waves as that which took place
in Galveston since africa and St
Thomas were overwhelmed.

westward, bringing with It the waves
OF the Gulf Of Mexico. till It struck
Galveston, then made the curve which
is shown on the map, and struck the
Great Lakes. The damage to the
crops in the various states which It
crossed was great. On Sept. - the
remnants Of the storm we're rushing
up the st. Lawrence valley. Had It
not been for the establishment Of the
stations In the Lesser Antilles. which
were put in operation after the Span
ish-American war, the weather bureau
could not have foreseen so far the
progress OF the storm. The establish
ment Of the West Indian stations is
approved by all the people in the
United States. The establishment Of
those stations has shown their value
when It Is taken into consideration
that the millions Of dollars damage
done in Galveston might have been
so much greater had not the forewarn-
ing Of the department OF agriculture
made many ships get into harbor.
There is no port in the United States
that cannot say it was not warned Of
the approach Of this storm. OF course
the storm was most erratic. Usually
a storm will follow the curse Of the
gulf stream, and when it strikes the
Florida straits It will 90 forth across

disturbance assumed a definite shape
and definite progression was begun.
The United States weather bureau
would not have been able to have pre-

not been for the West Indian stations.
Two days after the storm center had
been located definitely by the West In
Han stations the progress Of that gath

Galveston had been decided compare

The northern coast and for the south
