FILIPINO NATIVE GOVERNOR.
AN UNCLE OF AGUINALDO APPOINTED
TO THIS OFFICE IN BULACAN-GEN-
ERAI, GRANT PRESENTS HIS
FATHERS FLAG TO HIM.

Ciuisuinto, Province of BuIacan Philippine Isl!
ands. Feb. 2I.-,Iose serapio. an uncle of Agui
naldo and formerly insurgent colonel. has
been appointed Governor of BuIacan Province.
There were several candidates. including two
army officers. but the United states Commission
was unanimously in favor of Serapio. who sur
rendered in General I.awton's progress north
ward and who has since been such a consistent
friend of the United States that Aguinaldo pub
lished order degrading his uncle.
There was considerable protest against Sc
rapio's appointment. chiefly from delegation
which represented The interests of the friars.
The commission announced that it had investi-
gated the allegations made against Serapio and
found them TO ne untrue.
Captain Greenough of the 41st Regiment. was
appointed treasurer. and Lieutenant Wells, of
tho :2d Regiment, appointed supervisor
The other officials appointed We're natives All
the appointments practically were made on
General Grants recommendation.
According to the reputation Of Buacan. 1T Is
not the easiest province to govern. but all the
local leaders and most OF the inhabitants are
friendly to the United states.
Tho question of the selection of capital for
the province was submitted TO the vote of the
delegations Maolos the former seat of the in
surgent congress, is the best town, but Bulacan
has always been the seat OF the government. and
easily first. The ballot was the first free
voting in the Philippines, except at the town
elections held under military orders. The dele
gates enjoyed il immensely. Judge Taft, in ad-
monishing the delegates, said that since they
had the reputation of being gamesters they must
abide by the result and show their capability Of
abiding by the suffrage.
In the course of his speech announcing the
appointment, Judge Taft said nowhere had a
military commander shown such benevolent con-
sideration for the interests of the people as had
General Grant. The appointment of a native
governor indicated the commissions confidence
In the Tagalogs.
The concluding scene of the commissions
visit TO the Province of Bulacan was most
dramatic. General Grant presented Governor
Serapio with flag which once belonged to
General Grants father. The FilipinOs received
the flag enthusiastically, svOre loyalty TO the
United States and Cheered General Grant and
the commissioners

issued on the 10th of this month, show de-
cided increase In individual deposits ana seherai
assets The abstract of the report for the forty
four national banks in New-York City exhibits
the enormous gain in individual deposits of vs.
G4o 1o3 and an increase of S1S426 ioSI i'm total
assets. The Individual deposits in these banks
IN February : were $50 1J0 G5I, and the assets
were 81 215S S4I.SII. In December the report OF
the Controller showed the individual deposits
and total assets to be S476 sol 534 and S1,0I1,
$50 $50 respectively. As was announcer III Inc
Tribune at the time these figures broke all pre-
Vious high records, and now another maximum
figure is established. Tho most important feature
recorded IN individual deposits. which are re-
garded as only single indication OF the great
prosperity of the country.
But what eclipses that further illustration
of wonderful financial conditions in the United
States Is the new high record made to-day in
States Treasury to-day amounted to SiSI,29S,
412 which is the highest amount this nations
gold has ever reached. According to Treasurer
Roberts, this increase is due 10 the large pro-
duction of gold and to generally iourishing con-
ditions. Since early last fall a steady increase
night has passed except in the latter part OF
January, when heavy exports Of gold were made,
that all records were not broken.
Treasury officials predict favorable bank
statement from all parts of the country In re-
sponse to the latest call, and say that the total
assets and deposits for the entire country will
exceed by many millions those shown in the last
statement Of the Controller.

CANAL TREATY FATE.
ALMOST SURE TO DIE on MARCH NE
GoTTATIONS MAY RE RENEWED.

Washington, Feb 2I.-Lord Pauncefote. the
British Ambassador, called at the State Depart
rnent this afternoon. thereby giving rise TO the
conjecture that he was charged with the de
livery of the British answer to the Senates ac-
ton respecting the ay-Pauncefote Treaty. IL
turned out, however that no answer has been
received and the visit had reference 10 unim-
portant matters
The State Department has not yet been ad-
yised that the next step In the negotiations is
be made in Washington. The last formal
action from this end advice 20 Ambassa-
dor Choate. reminding him that little time re-
mained for the ratification Of the treaty, which
would die March T. He not especially
Instructed. however 10 make any advances for
an extension Of the time allowed for the ratiti-
cation OF the treaty. and il is not known that
anything has been done IN this direction BY
either side.
The impression is deepening TO the point Of
conviction among officials here that action
will be taken on the treaty. rather upon the
Senate amendments. by the British Government
before Congress adJourns. But IL would not
surprise them If at a later date overtures
came. perhaps in the shape of the expected
counter proposition. 10y which. using the old
tIsatys as q basis some modification likely to
meet favor both sides might be evolved In
such case the treaty would have TO be again
submitted to the Senate In its amended shape.
