PREDICTS ANARCHY
IN THE PHILIPPINES
Recent Disturbances, Though Dam
gerous, Are Said TO Be
Insignificant
Ru 1ttncintcd Prcst


Washington, Dec. 31.-Private dis
patches from Manila saying the recent
disturbances In the Philippine Islands,
though dangerous, were insignificant
in accomplishments, were laid to-day
before the Senate committee consider
ing the Philippines independence bill
by Dean c. Worcester, former secre-
tary of the interior of the islands. The
dispatch came yesterday from his per-
sonal friend. p. G.. Mcdonnell, Ma
nila editor, and for their accuracy Mr..
Worcester Vouched to the committee.
The dispatch read:
General commanding Corregidor
denies the rumor regarding disarming
of scouts. Mob in botanical garden
scattered by the police before the time
set for uprising. Arrested twenty
bolo men. Movement wide. Quite
well organized, Ricarte connected with
them.
Drastic measures required to pre-
vent ii from spreading. IT is general
Is believed the disturbance is being
influenced by widespread idea of gov
ernment weakness. Sedition not sup
pressed because wrong interpreta-
ton of promises of administration in
circulation by politicians among ignor-
ant masses Foreigners apprehensive.
Great many have applied for firearms
permit. Impossible to do anything to
corroborate many facts. Witnesses
are forbidden to give information.
Government win not allow us to see
documents seized by army. Uprising
insignificant in mplishment, but
dangerous on account of potential agi-
tation of lowest classes.
Leaders at Large
Similar to 1876. Have arrested
men in Manila. Many leaders have
not been apprehended. Communica-
tions secured indicating Americans
We're to be attacked. Property to be
confiscated or destroyed. There is no
evidence that property owning natives
are involved. Absolutely no Ameri-
cans connected with uprising.

A phrase "have issued arms to civil
employees contained in the original
dispatch was eliminated by Mr.. Nc
Donnell in a later message and Mr..
Worcester told the committee he be-
lieved the statement cancelled was un-
true.
Mr.. Worcester gave it as his opin-
ion that the disturbances were what
might be expected before independ-

SOFIA. Nov. i0.--Surprse was caused
here to-day by the announcement that
Prof. stephen Panaretoff OF Robert Col
lege, Constantinoplc. has been appointed
Bulgarian Minister to the United States
and that he is now on his way to WASH
ington. The matter was kept so quiet
that even some members OF the Cabinet
did not know OF the appointment.
Bulgaria at present has no diplomatic
representative at Washington and when
the matter of sending Minister to the
United States was preached by a former
Cabinet il was laid aside on the ground
that the remoteness of the relations of
the two countries did not warrant the addl-
ton OF such an expense to the budget,
II is said that the real reason for the
appointment is the desire of King Ferdi-
nand to visit the United States in the near
future. Prof, Panaretoff will be his dplo-
matte advance agent. Queen Eleanora
was to have visited the United States
early in the present year and King Fer
dinand said he would probably attend
the Pan-Amerlcan exposition at San Fran
cisco in 1915, but the plans were spoiled
