SECRET SOCIETIES
 IN PHILIPPINES
Most Formidable Problem Con
 fronts United States
SOCIETIES ARE POWERFUL
The Members are Crafty, SkiIlfuI and Treaeherous-They are Military and Civil in Character and
 are Hard to Suppress.

Chicago, April Major-General Young, recently commanding the northern part of the Island of Luzon, arrived in Chi cago, enroute from Manila to Washing ton today.
 "The most formidable problem con- fronting the United States government in the Philippines today is presented by the two great native secret societies. the Katipunan and the Sandathan," said General Young. ''The first-named is dis tinctly military in it's character and numbers among it's members the real leaders of the insurrection. The second is civil. and embraces every native in the islands who is in sympathy with the rebel cause. The second secures funds pro- visions and arms for the first, and in- forms its members of all movements of the United States troops. The influence of these two organizations is widespread and our means of approaching the prime movers are limited.
 ''The utmost secrecy governs the work of these societies. They are crafty. skill full and, we have found to our cost, treacherous. Their hatred of our people is as bitter as it Is groundless, and in my opinion the quickest and best, if not the only, way to wean them from their preju- dices is by means of American coloniza- tion of the islands
 twill Aguinaldo's capture have good effect on those still under arms?" was asked.
 Yes; 1t will probably lead many to sub init to what would appear the inevitable, but just how wide this effect will be am unable to say
 General Tinio, the most formidable gen. eral in the north. is still holding out, but through hope of reward he may follow Aguinaido's example. He commands an uncertain number of guerrilas, about 5000, who are independent in character, much as Mosebys men were during the civil war. We have tried to catch Tinio again and again, but he is as slippery as an eel

OPINION PREVAILS THAT JAPAN

GENERAL CLAY IS STILL BARRICADED Refuses All Propositions to Be Seen-FinaIIy Talked
 to One Negro

Foxtown, Ky, April 6.-Gen. Cassius M. Clay remained barricaded in his mansion Whitehall, today and refused all proposi- tions to be seen excepting to talk with Zach White, a negro sent by his son, Brutus Clay late commissioner to the Paris Exposition, and Jim Bowling, who went to deliver a note sent by newspaper men. The old man told White to tell Brutus that he was at war with the world and that no man dared cross the dead line," placed by him fifty feet in front of his door across the walk. To Bowling he said that he had no statement for the press today, but would make one later. He tried to write his answer on the back of the note, but his writing Is illegible.
 Bowling says the general was not wounded in the battle yesterday with Sheriff Colyer and Deputy Terrell, but knives and a shotgun At the front door he has placed a long pole, to one end of which he has tied a white handker- chief and to the other a red handkerchief. The end bearing the red handkerchief is raised, denoting, Bowling says, that the war is on and that he will kill the first man who dares approach within ms leaVe.'t General Clay's dead line Is denoted by walking cane lying across the walk. It indicates that he Is not crippled, but able to meet his enemies In open battle. He cooked his dinner in boiler in front of the fireplace. He boiled a ham and had canned goods with the meat. Bowling says he has some 200 cans of apples, pears tomatoes, corn, etc., in the house, besides several dozens of eggs.
 Brutus Clay, after failing to get an audience with his father, returned home. The old mans desire is to gain the con- sent of his children relinquishing their claim to the property that he may give the old homestead to his child wife, now divorced and married to laborer. Riley Brock.

Danish West IndIes Rspors.

Washington. April 6.-An official denial is given to the London publication recit- ing that the United States government has adopted a menacing attitude toward Denmark in the course of the negotiations touching the cession of the Danish West Indies to the United States. It is stated that these negotiations have been char acterized by the most friendly feeling on both sides. The United States govern ment has not exercised the slightest pres- sure on Denmark, nor will it do SO. If the cession is effected 1t must bep urply voluntarily on the part of the pre4enf owners. It also is denied that Denmaxk has sought or has received the support of other European powers in antagoniam to the United States. for if she should do 10 the United States would have been moAo aware of the fact.

RUSSIA WILL WAIT. Further Course of Events In China Depends on Circumstances.

London, April GA dispatch from St. Petersburg says 1t is learned from a trustworthy source that Russia's dplo- matic agents abroad were instructed on April to communicate to the govern ments to which they are accredited an identical note in the same terms as that presented by Count Cassini, the Russian minister at Washington, to Secretary Hay.
 The text of the identical note, as it ap- pears from news which comes to hand, is as follows:
 That, in the present circumstances, a special agreement in the Manchurian af- fair, instead of being an open testimonial of friendly sentiments on the part of Russia towards China, might entail vari- ous difficulties for the neighboring state. Russia does not in any way insist upon the conclusion of any such agreement, and even abandons all possible negotia- tions in this matter. Inasmuch as the inn perial government ever adheres faithfully to its original and oft-repeated pro- gramme, 1t will quietly await the further course of events.

Discussion Makes a Scathing Attack on United States PAPER IS PROMPTLY STOPPED The Editor and Cartoonist Are
 Under Arrest
A PICTURE OF THE cRUclFIxI0N
Cuban Soldier Was Christ and General Wood and President Mckinley We're the Two Thieves, With
 PIatt Applying Vinegar.

Havana, April 6-The Discussion has General Wood, and its offices have been closed and sealed. This action was due to the publication in the Discussion yester- day of an illustration having the title of the Cuban Calvary" representing the Cuban public personified in a Cuban sol- dier being crucified between. two thieves, General Wood represented as one thief and President Mckinley as the other, both being labelled with their names. Senator Platt was represented as a Roman sol- dier, giving vinegar and gall in the form of the Platt amendment, while public opinion as Magadeline was weeping at the foot of the cross. Below was the following inscription:
 ''will destiny reserve for us glorious resurrection?'
 The picture caused much unfavorable comment yesterday from the standpoint of decency. The editor of the paper. se- nor Coranado, was arrested. but was re- leased on bail. It is probable that no other action will be taken against the Discus cion than suppressing ita publication for several days.
 | Senor Capele. president of the Cuban constitution, has visited General Wood and told the latter that the convention individually and as a body regretted pub lication of this picture. Senor Cspole said the picture misrepresented the feel ings of the Cubans, who held General Wood and President Mckinley in the greatest respect, and were deeply grate- ful to them.
 On his solicitation, General Wood al- lowed the Discussion to continue pubiica- tion, but the judge of the Correctional Court will prefer charges the character of which is to be determined later. against Editor Coranado.
 Editor Coranado and Castellanos. the cartoonist, will be tried on a charge of criminal libel The former is held under 5000 bond and the latter in the sum of $500
