Second Lieutenant c. c. Holmes Of
the Goth Infantry is one OF the most
popular men aboard the transport Ga
rome. He is an Englishman, the son
Of the Bishop Of Wakefield and, at the
outbreak of the war, enlisted as a pri-
vate. He was soon promoted to be
sergeant and from this position, was
promoted to be second lieutenant for
conspicuous bravery.
At little town on the island of Pa
nay, his company was surprised and
surrounded by about 500 insurgents.
The Americans fought the natives for
twenty-five hours and then their am
munition gave out
There was but one way to get out of
the box and It was done by charging
with fixed bayonets. Sergeant Howes
led the charge and captured fifteen
rifles and 600 rounds of ammunition.
With the ammunition, the Americans
were enabled to dispense the natives
who had begun to run when the
charge was made. This action OF Howes
in leading the charge is what saved
eighty men from massacre and for his
gallantry in action he received promo
ton.

ULTlMATUM
THREATENED
BY RUSSIA
(From Tuesdays Bnlletin Extra.)
--latest by Associated Press.)


Ii Hung Chang, urging that acquies-
cence be given to the Russian propo-
sails, while others insist on rejecting
the agreement. The attitude of Ii
Hung Chang is accounted for by his
well known friendship for Russian in
terests. In this case. however, there
appears to be arrayed against him the
strong influence of the Southern Vice
roys, Chan Chi Tung and Liza Kun VI,
who oppose the signing Of the treaty.
The reports reaching here this morn
ing showed that the agreement had
not yet been signed.
Its status is most peculiar. The
time within which 1t was to be signed
expired last Tuesday, but on that day
Yang Yu, the Chinese Minister, fell in
the legation and hurt his head so that
he was unable to transact business.
This misfortune caused much amuse-
ment here and some irritation In GER
tain quarters as 1t had been recognized
as timely means of avoiding a direct
action on the subject.
II is not clear to what extent the
Russian intimation has gone, but In
any event II gives an urgency to Chi
mas course which has not been pre-
scented thus far.

Washington, April Information
has reached here to the effect that the
Russian Government, being seriously
perturbed by the course of China, in not
signing the Manchurian agreement,
largely because Of the protest made by
the several Powers. has conveyed a
distinct and unmistakeable indication
to China that II this course Is persist
ed in there may be an interruption Of
diplomatic relations between Russia
and China and a termination of the
present intercourse between them.
This is Titles hort OF an ultimatum
that China must sign or take the con-
sequences of a termination of her
friendly relations with Russia.
To what extent the United States
will take cognizance OF Russia's dis
position to enforce the signing of the
agreement is not yet known. 1t ap-
pears to be the policy of the Chinese
authorities to consider this as a sub
ject which concerns the Powers quite
as much as it does China.
The matter has become further COM
plicated by reports reaching Washing

divided on the course to be pursued,

AGUINALD0
MUST TAKE
HIS CHOICE

(From Tuesdays Bulletin Extra.)
New York. March 30.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says: II
Emelio Aguinaldo has violated any of
the laws of war and declines to take
the oath of allegiance to the United
States he will be tried by n military
commission to be appointed by Major
General MasArthur This is the i'm
portant feature OF the instructions sent
by Secretary Root to General MacAr-
thur today regarding the disposition to
be made Of the prisoner.
General Macarthur will make no
bargain with Aguinaldo, giving him
freedom in return for his aid in estab-
fishing the recognition of American
sovereignty. He will inform Aguinaldo
that the Government is disposed to
deal leniently with him, and he will
be held for the present as prisoner Of
war. He will be kept under close
surveillance. so as not to be able to
communicate with his former subor-
dinates to the injury Of the United
States. He will be allowed, II he de-
sires. to take the oath Of allegiance and
then to acquaint the Filipinos gen.
orally with what he has done and his
views as to their future course.
Aguinaldo has not placed himself In
| n nnaitinn IN no nffarad ony farms nv
the United States under any of the
proclamations or instructions govern
ing the Philippines. No attempt will
be made to bargain with him and he
will first have to accept the sovereignty
of the United States and also show that
he comes within the terms of the am
offered a position under the Govern
ment, IL 1t seemed desirable to use him
In a governmental capacity in the fu-
ture. At present Aguinaldo will be
considered on the same footing with
the other prisoners.
The position OF the United States in
reference to the prisoner seems to have
been misunderstood in some quarters,
and there was an impression that our
officers were ready to make terms with
Aguinaldo in order to secure his SER
vices for the pacifcation of the islands.
It is evident that any oyertures to
bring about this result WIZ have come
from Aguinaldo. No aoubt he will be
given an opportunity to make a propo-
sition Of that kind, but until he does
ha will be considered as captured in
surgent,

DISCOVERY OF OXYGEN.
This Name Perpetuates an Error said
to Have Been Made by Noted
Chemist.

It was 1877 years on the 1st of Au-
gust since Joseph Priestley discov-
cred oxygen. He called it dephlogis-
ticated air. Scheele, who separated
1t about the same time, empyreal
air; while Condorcet, more happily
than either, suggested vital air. La
voisier named it GEOGRAPHICALLY the
acid maker-and in so doing perpet-
uated an error, says London Express
1t is not oxygen that is the essen
tial element in the formation OF
acids, but hydrogen, so called be-
cause it helps to form water. The
early chemists would have hit the
mark better IL they had interchanged
the designations; for oxygen consti'
jtutes the great bulk of water, and
hydrogen is a constituent of all acids
What's in a name in this case is
chemical Misrepresentation. Priest
lev little knew how wide was the
range of the element he had found
Oxygen forms one-hfth of the atmos
phere, eight-ninths of the waters
and, taking altogether, one-half of al
I the materials of the globe, so far as
they are known. AS carbon is the
basis of all the organic substance Of
! the world, so oxygen, the supporter
of life and combustion, represents iti
diving energies.
