Chicago, May 6.-Walter Wellman, IN
his Washington correspondence to the
Record-Herald says: Sensational dis
closures concerning the origin of the war
in the Philippines were made at the war
department to-day. Photographic copies
Of telegram written by Emilio Aguinaldo
were given out. This telegram was sent
by General Noriel to Colonel Cables from
Pineado, near Manila, to Aguinaldo at Ma
lolos, and the reply of Aguinaldo appears
written thereon by his own hand. The
date is Jan. -, 1899.
At this time, it should be remembered,
the Americans and the Filipinos were on
friendly terms, so far as the American
commanders knew. It has been claimed
by Senator Hoar and other anti-imperial-
lists that the collision which occurred be-
tween the Americans and the natives Feb.
was an accident, not premeditated by the
Filipinos, and that if any one was in the
wrong it was the American soldiers who
precipitated the struggle. 1t will be
remembered that fighting began Feb. 4
| and continued several days. Fiftyseyen
| Americans were killed and 215 wounded,
| 500 Filisinos were killed. 1000 wounded
and 500 captured. The treaty Of Paris
was ratified by the senate Feb. s.
In reply to the claim that Aguinaldo
and his officers meant no harm to the
Americans and that the conflict was begun
by the Americans this telegram apd note

some time ago, but the order was not
pressed by the department because of the

HOW RUSSIA VIEWS TREATY.
Very Much Pleased But All the Same
She Is Ready for Trouble If Any
body Wants 1t.

st. petersburg, Feb. 14.-The Russian
official view of the British Japanese
treaty was communicated to the corre-
spondent of the Associated Press to-
day, as follows:
1--WE accept the news of the entente
with the most complete equanimity and
very happy to ascertain that England
and Japan are pledged to maintain the
integrity of China and the independ-
ence of Corea, two principles which
Russia was the first to establish as the
basis for her foreign policy in the Ori-
ent Russia would willingly have SUBJ
scribed to the agreements in the pre-
amble. The English-Japanese say their
convention has only essentially pacific
aims. This makes it all the more as
tonishing when they speak of war and
coalitions. What Power they have in
view we cannot say. But, in any case,
if peace is menaced in the extreme Or
lent, Russia, for her part, will not fail
to take all the measures necessary to
safeguard her interests. We have given
America positive assurances that Rus
sia will do nothing which will disturb
the interests of America in China. Fur
thermore, we have received satisfac-
tory assurance that America is not taxi
ing any steps against us in China"

MIR. CLAY EXPOSES A FRAUD.
causes Sensation by Showing Up
Trfckery in Appointment of COM
mittee Messengers.

Washington. Feb. 14.-Senator Clay
led an attack to-day upon indiscrimi-
mate increases in the Senate force,
which it has developed the Republicans
have been making, and the result was
some plain talk on the part of some
Republican senators, as well as some
of the Democrats concerning what was
denounced as little short of a scandal.
1t seems that under the guise of addi-
tional messengers to committees, indi-
Vidual Republican senators have since
their party has been in charge of that
body greatly increased their patronage.
Several resolutions looking to that end
were introduced to-day. The Georgia
senator had been looking into the mat
ter and discovered the interesting fact
that several of the committees for
which extra service. was asked had not
met in eight to ten years.
Senators Platt of Connecticut and AL
lison joined with him and the result
was that the resolutions under discuss
sion were sent BACK to committee. The
chances are that since the expose there
will be no efforts of that nature in the
near future.

Henry Norman, Liberal, on the subject

"The meeting which occurred April
IA, 1898, was convened by Lord
Pauncefote, as dean of the ambassa-
dors at the verbal suggestion of some
of his colleagues. Whatever opinions
were expressed by Lord Pauncefote
during the discussion, which was of
an informal character, were personal
to himself, and not pursuant to in
structions from Her Majestys govern
ment. The discussion resulted in an
agreement to forward an identical tele-
gram to their respective governments,
suggesting a further communication to
the United States government. on
receipt of this telegram Her Majesty's s
government Immediately replied by OBJ
jecting to the terms of the communi-
cation as injudicious. Two days later,
Lord Pauncefote was informed that

to take no action. We. at that time,

Arms i'm Water in the Bay When
Rescued.
Monaco, Feb. 14.-Santos Dumont,
the aeronaut, met with disaster here
today and had a narrow escape from
death. His air-ship is a tattered wreck,
while tonight his motor lies at the
bottom of the Bay of Monaco
big crowd assembled at the en-
trance of the Aerodrome, and as the
large doors of the building rolled back,
the air-ship emerged. A number of
steam yachts and launches, including
the Prince of Monaco's yacht, Princess
Alice. and a launch belonging to Eu-
gene Higgins, with parties on board,
we're cruising about the bay
with the intention of fol-
lowing the balloon. Cheers greeted
Santos Dumont as his airship rose and
its head pointed for the middle of the
bay. 1t was soon noticed, however,
that instead of maintaining it's usual
equilibrium, the balloon rose and
pitched in way that created consider
able anxiety among the spectators. The
on his Hiobf
and, pointing his ship to the left, con-
tinued to ascend until the long guide
rope was quite twenty feet out of the
water. In turning the balloon, the
guide rope caught in the screw and
this with the erratic working of the
ger.
At the same time squall burst from
Tete de Chen and Santos Dumont
tilted the head of his balloon upwards
in order to disengage the guide rope.
But in so doing the ballast shifted and
the oil used to run the motor began to
spread, fearing an explosion the in
ventor pulled the emergency cord. This
removed the envelope OF the balloon,
which at once began rapidly to de-
scend.
In the meanwhile the steam launches
in the bay were making toward the
spot where it was supposed the ball
loon would fall. The airship descended
until Santos Dumont was immersed
up to his arm-pits in the water. Finally
the end of the balloon burst and the
Prince of Monaco, who was on board
his launch, then gave orders to rescue
Santos Dumont from his perilous posi-
ton. The latter was half pulled and
half clambered over the gunwale into
the boat.
iWth the water dripping from his
clothes, and looking like a water rat,
the inventor sood in the bows of the
launch shouting orders for the salvage
Of his airship. 1t was was impossible
to save more than the silken envelope.
The motor had to be left to its fate,
and it sank.
