ASSASSINATION OF 0TIS7

An Important Filipino Document Il
Discovered While Examining a
Mass Of Captured Papers.
| Washington, April 15.-While ex
aiming an immense quantity OF pa.
pers captured from the Filipino in.
surgents, Captain John r. NJ. Taylor
OF the Fourteenth Infantry, acting
under the direction OF Colonel Ed.
wards Of the Department Of Insulsr
Affairs, few days ago discovered a
remarkable document indorsed on
the back with a direction to kill Gen.
eral Otis. This Endorsement, Captain
Taylor insists, is In the handwriting
OF Aguinaldo, the insurgent chief. A
translation OF the document is as fol-
lows:
"Our Honorable Preeident-We,
the signers, who subscribe the de.
clsration appended, by these pres
ents, protests against the American
proclamation; we recognize no au-
thority but that Of God and the revo-
lutionary government, and we offer
our lives and property for the indie
pendence Of our country.
"Manila-San Miguel, January IL,
1899.
"Feliciano de Cruz, twenty-five sig
natures follow
On the back is written in the hand
writing OF E. Aguinaldo:
"Leberino Kotionko, Felicaino de
Cruz. To kill General Otis. Com
missioned."
Captain Taylor called the atten-
ton OF the chief Of the Bureau OF In
sular Affairs to this document in the
following letter:
"Sir-I have the honor to inclose
herewith translation OF an impor-
tant document | found among the
records OF the Philippines insurgent
government yesterday. The note on
the back is in the handwriting of
Aguinaldo, a handwriting with which
l am familiar and one of such pecu-
liar mannerisms that it can not be |
by one who has seen much |
oft. l have quantity OF shelters
and notes in my official possession;
the mostcursory comparison between
them and the handwriting OF this
note will show it's identity.
"On January 4, 1899, a proclama-
ton Was issued by General Otis, in
which he declared the sovereignty Of
the United States over the Philip
pines. Many protests were drawn
up in the Philippines against this,
most OF them were drawn up by order
OF the insurgent government, but this
letter was probably one unsolicited |
evidence OF the adhesion OF some |
Katipunan lodge, or OF one Of the
popular clubs in Manila organized
by Sandico while in the pay OF the |
United States Government, clubs
whose names covered their real pur.
pose, the formation of groups ready
at a given signal to attack the
Americans within the city.
Probably this paper was handed
to Aguinaldo by delegation of the
slgners II this was the case, the
man who signs first, Feliciano de
Cruz, was one of the delegates.
"Aguinaldo probably talked to
him in private and result OF the
he wrote this note on
the back OF the paper. The other
name does not appear in the sigma
lures. He probably was some fol-
over or intimate OF Cruz.
ut is to be noted that General
)tis's residence was in the Barrio or
ward OF San Miguel. The signers of
ibis paper were men who lived about
t and knew the grounds well; some
u them may have been servants in |

chieaao Butter Supply.

The receipts OF butter at Chicago
this summer have been greater than
during any previous summer for scy.
eral years at least. FROM the first OF
May % the middle OF August there
were received over Cj2.O tubs. which
Is about $4,000 tubs IN excess OF what
was received during the same period
last year. During the summer OF 1895
592. 600 tubs were received, which
was considered phenomenal az that
time In spite OF this large supply
this year the prices have held up. due
largely 70 the rapid growth In popu'
lation OF the city and the continued
activity In business. 10 Is reported
that the home trade Is larger than
ever before and seems inclined TO take
