LET AGUINALDO ESCAPE
THIS IS THE SENTIMENT OF Of
FICERS IN MANILA.
Representative Weeks Gives Hi
Views Regarding the Islands
and Their Needs.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 5.-Repre-
sentative Edgar Weeks of Michigan, who
arrived from Manila on the transport
Hancock, when asked about conditions in
the Philippines, said: Il saw Aguinaldo
and spent half a day with him. He is not
an intelligent man, and, think, feels that
he is inferior in intellect to the Americans.
He seems TO me not clever, but cunning
The general opinion among the military
men is that Aguinaldo should be allowed to
escape. He is dead issue and is no longer
a menace to the United States. 1t is sup
posed that he does not want to run away,
as he would at once be assassinated by the
friends of Gen. Luna, whom he ordered to
be killed
'"The new method of educating the natives
adopted by this government Is wrong
Refined, handsome young ladies from vas
sar and other colleges went down to the
Philippines to educate these natives. They
have had to put up with all kinds of pri-
vations and to eat native food and in some
places their lives have been in danger. L
think this is entirely unnecessary. In
places of these young ladies, discharged SOL
diers of education who had become accli-
mated should be appointed, and the young
ladies should be sent home.
1.-The question of the Sultan Of Sulu and
his harem is very small matter when
you are confronted with the great ques-
tions that are now involved. The sultan
lives in dirty tumble-down house, and he
may have several wives, but he is very
insignificant individual. I do not fear any
trouble with him.

THE CHARLESTON EXPOSITION,
Conference Between Secretary Gage
and Senator Tillman.


Senator Tillman had an extended confer
ence this morning with Secretary Gage and
Chief Clerk Hills of the treasury regarding
a resolution that Senator Tillman had
passed through the Senate yesterday direct
ing the Secretary of the Treasury to fur
nish to the Senate an estimate OF the
amount it would be necessary to appropri-
ate to defray the expenses of the govern
ment exhibit at Charleston. The treasury
departments their separate estimates be-
fore the treasury can submit to the Senate
the full amount that will be required to
cover all expenses. Secretary Gage has in
formed Senator TilIman that during the day
the treasury will prepare joint resolution
making the necessary appropriation. This
resolution will contain blank for the sum
to be appropriated, and Senator Tillman
will introduce 1t in the Senate in that FORM
hoping to be able to get it through the Sem
ate and permit the House to fill In the blank
space with the amount to be appropriated
for transportation installation and care of
the exhibits. 1T is not the Senate | am
afraid off, said Senator Tillman, "as that
body will do the right thing. but it is the
House which will be the stumbling block, if
there is any
The joint resolution to be prepared by the
treasury will constitute the board of man.
ayers for the government exhibit at Ruffalo
as the board to handle and care for the ex-
hibits at Charleston.
The treasury officials, including Secretary
Gage, are much in sympathy with the
project to have Congress pay for the ex-
penses of the exhibits and hope that some-
thing will be done along that line. 1t is be-
lieved that about SO, 900 will be required to
pay the expenses.

THERN RAGE
PETITION BEING CIRCULATED FOR !,
REPUBLICAN, CAUCUS.
To Determine If RedactiOn of Repre.
is to BE Party Policy.

Representative Crunpacker of Indiana,
one of the original movers of the PROPOSE
tion to reduce the representation of the
southern states in the House of Representa-
tives, is circulating petition for the call
ing of republican caucus to determine
whether the dominant party in the House
shall take up as a definite policy some plan
of action against the alleged over-represen-
tation of the southern states.
Mr.. Crumpacker stated today that no re-
publican thus far approached had declined
to sign the petition for the caucus. He said
that he believed that two-thirds of the re-
publicans of the House are in favor of ac-
ton.
To Determine TIVE Things.
The caucus, if called, will determine two
things: First, whether the reduction of
southern representation is to be made re-
publican policy; second, What means shall
be adopted to reach the desired end in the
quickest and easiest manner.
While there is unaninaty among the
movers in the campaign as te the object in
view, there are many differences of opin-
ion as to how it is to be gained. Several
bills and resolutions on the subject have
been introduced already and a new bill will
go in tomorrow. All propose different meth
DDS Of operation Mr.. Crumpacker thinks
the causus should outline the procedure
and then there will be absolute concentra-
ton Of effort. There does not seem to be
"a disposition upon the part of any one en-
gagged in the propaganda to allow the pride
Of authorship to interfere with the work in
view, for it is realized that time can be
saved by agreement. The object of many
republicans Is to take Aetion before the
next congressional electioA occurs, if possi-
BILE.
Approval Of Senate.
Mr.. Crumpacker received Information to-
day from influential republicans in the SEN
ate of approval in the upper body of the
campaign that is being started in the
House. These senator's urged the House
republicans to go ahead with the work and
push it to early completion.
Representative Moody of Massachusetts,
whose resolution challenging the Louisiana
delegation was published in Mondays Star
has received great number of letters
commencing his course. He said. today he
expects the committee on! ru1es to take up
his resolution for Consideration at an early
date. While he st1ll thinks his method the
most direct one of getting at the question
he will willingly defer to the, Judgment of
his colleagues in this regard and will be
satisfied II he has sNceeeded in aiding in
attracting attention to the abuses of the
present system. So

THE CASE OF NEELY.
A Question That May Cause Further
Delay.

The prosecution in the case of Charles
Neely, charged with postal frauds in Cuba,
has met with a hard check, which at the
least may cause much further delay in the
trial of this case. 1t appears that the
prosecution is of necessity relying largely
upon letters rogatory setting out testimony
taken in the United States. Such deposit
tions may be used lawfully according to
the Spanish practice. But the question has
been raised. and has been discussed by the
cabinet. whether such a proceeding is law
fui under the statute by means of which
the extradition of Neely to Cuba was Sc
cured The extradition laws are held by
Neelys friends and counsel to demand for
the accused the opportunity to be con-
1ronted with witnesses against himself or
have fun opportunity to cross-examine on
dispositions, as he would have under Ameri-
can legal practice. To admit this pojnt
would be to greatly endanger the success
of the prosecution, in the opinion of the
officials here. but so far no decision has
been reached

PHILIPPINE CONDOLENCES.
Action Taken in Regard to the Death
of President Mckinley.

Some of the resolutions of coincidence
adopted by Philippine organizations in rela-
tion to the death of the late President Nc
Kinley. which are being received at the
War Department through General Chaffee,
are very affecting in their quaint simplicity.
One received today, setting out the feel
ings of the municipal council of Bacarra,
Luzon, reads, in part: "Au the members,
having received this news, grieve, mourn
and are indignant at SO lamentable a mis-
fortune, and after a few moments of sob
bing and silence unanimously resolve to
record in the minutes the deep sorrow which
the death of the Honorable President has
caused. - And that, in support of
the soul of so distinguished a President,
there be sent in the name of the town
committee to the parish priest, so that to-
morrow the day of the burial the funeral
offices may be performed at o'clock in
the parish church of this town in the pres
ence of the principalia and all the members
of this municipal council, dressed in full
mourning"

FIGHT ON Mr.. WADSWORTH
DAIRY INTERESTS AGAINST HIS
COMMITTEE APPOINTMENT.
Effort TO Punish Him for Defeat of the
Bill to Tax OIeomargarfne
Last Session.

Whether representatives who favor or
oppose the proposed special tax on oIeo-
margarine shall exercise the controlling
voice in the House committee on agricul-
ture is without doubt one of the most tur-
bulent questions which presents itself to
Speaker Henderson in his present task of
making up the House committees
The dairy and farming interests of the
country, as represented in organized form
| and by their special journals, have been in
clined to concentrate their strength against
the reappointment of Representative
Wadsworth of New York as chairman of
that committee. and to this end have been
bringing strong pressure to bear on the
Speaker.
In this connection there is only one point
of attack being made against Mr. Wads-
worth, and that is that he opposed the
'oleo' bill at the last session. Mr. Wads-
worth Is farmer, and his record as chair
man OF the agricultural committee has in
all but this one instance it is said been
hishiy satisfactory to the agriculturalists
Conservative Members Alarmed,
Conservative members of the House, who
are also enthusiastic supporters of legis-
lation to tax oleomargarine see In this
attack on MIR. Wadsworth serious cause for
alarm. 1t would be an unwarranted pun
ishnent and humiliation they declare. for
the Speaker to violate all established GUS
toms ana precedents and turn Mr.. Wads-
worth down simply because he conscien-
tiously opposed a measure which he be-
lleVed was not a proper one to enact into
law They say that such a course would
lnJure the prospects of "oleo" legislation
on the floor Of the House more than any,
thing else. Mr.. Wadsworth is popula r
among his colleagues in the House, and the
general resentment in case of his humilia-
tlon would. they predict, react directly on
the cause of that defeat.
Wh1le the farmers and dairymen are
working against Wadsworth, the oleomar-
garlne interests are making the fight Of
thelr lives to secure the five vacancies on
the agricultural committee for friends of
their product. Mr.. Lorimer who led the
hight against the BILL both in the commit
tee and on the floor of the House, at the
last session. was not reelected His dis

IN this direction, and are counterinp with

TAI committee is the place for AGRICULTURAL

PRINCE HENRY RETURNS.
Peace Patched Up with His Queeu
Wilhelmfna.

p AMSTERDAM, December 5.-With the
view of allaying public indignation and ex-
citement semi-official intimations have been
circulated to the effect that Queen Will
helmina has forgiven her husband, Prince
Henry Of the Netherlands, the suggestion
being that the public ought to follow suit.
Since Prince Henry returned to Het Loo,
December 2, the queen and he have been
dining together and gradually rsuming
normal relations Yesterday they walked
together and afterward drove in the castle
park. The relations between Prince Henry
ana the members of the court are, however.
very strained. The former cordiality has
been replaced by an attitude of frigid DO
hteness on the part of the prince consort.
and apparently the gentlemen Of the court
are equally indisposed to gloss over recent
occurrences

MINISTER SILVA GRATIFIED.
bel1eves That the Crisis Has Been
Passed in Colombian Affairs.


DR.. Carlos Martinez Silva, the Colombian
minister to Washington, called at the State
Department this morning. to see Secretary
Hay. 1t was his first visit to the depart
ment since his return from the City of
Mexico. where he had been in attendance
upon the congress of American republics.
DR.. Silva spent about half an hour with
Secretary Hay, going overt situation in
Colombia, and expressed his qualification at
the quiet conditions which have replaced
the critical state of affairs on the Isthmus
of Panama. Indeed, the minister regards
the victory Of the government on the 18TH
mus as decisive. He points out that the
trouble In the interior of Colombia is so
insignificant as to give the government no
further concern, and the only quarter which
has been looked to with apprehension was
the tsthmus. Now that conditions there
have resumed their normal quietude, DIR.
Silva feels that he has good ground for the
pelief that the unsettled state of affairs in
his country Is now to give way to general
return of peace and prosperity.

cHAFFEE ORDERS PORTS CLOSED.
Too Many Supplies Filter THROUGH to
the Insurgents.

MANILA. December General Chaffee
has issued orders for the closing of all
ports in the Laguna and Batangas prov
iEces. The quartermasters there will cease
paying rents to the Filipinos for buildings
used for military purposes as it is known
that a large proportion Of the money so
paid finds it way to the insurgents in the
shape Of contributions, and General Chaffee
intends that no more government funds
shall find their way into the hands Of the
enemy. The reason for closing the ports
Is that too many supplies are found to be

gents.
