First Tennessee regiment. First Washington regiment Recruits for the Second Oregon regi ment. Arrangements for the embarkation of the troops will be made at once. It was Blated at the war department that no exigency had arisen which made it necessary to send the troops cow at Kan Francisco to Manila, bnt the order Issued today was In accordance with the general plan of the department regard ing a garrison for the Philippines. It was also said the plan included 60,000 men for the Philippines, 12,500 for Porto Rico and 60,000 for Cuba. The troops to be sent to Manila ander today's order will fill the complement for thai station.

Two of these steamer w hich will accommodate about one-halt of the command are expected to arrive n a day or two. Other steamers are on their wsy, and will be sent back as soon as they are loaded with troops. Four steamers will be sufficient for the trans portation of troops and supplies.

Nkw York, fiept. 19. The lotlowing dispatch has been received at the Asso ciated Press office: "Manila, Sept. 19 The Filipino government desires to inform the Ameri can government and people that the many rumors circulated regarding the strained relations between the Filipino and the American forces are base, mali cious slanders of an enemy to boih parties, and without trnth, and are circulated for the purpose of prejudicing the appeal of the Filipinos for cruelty of Spain. "The relations of our people and yours have been end will continue of the most friendly nature, snd we bave withdrawn our forces from the suburbs of Manila as additional evidence of on r confidence in the great American republic."

Carries the moBt complete stock ot First-Class Grocerios to be found in the City. New York, Sept. 19. A special to the Herald from Washington says : As an indication that Germany has been scheming to share in the disposi tion of the Philippines, the authorities bave learned that, acting under instruc tions from Berlin, the German comman der-in-chief of the Asiatic station has made an exhaustive investigation of the mineral deposits of the islands. He was assisted by a German engineer, who had been temporarily assigned to his squad ron for the special purpose of locating coal. The engineer conducted a thor ough investigation, and his report, which has been submitted to the Berlin gov ernment through Yice-Admiral yon Diedericlis, shews that the best lignite deposits are located on the island of Cebu, one of the Vlscayas group. This information has been received from one of the representatives of this government in Germany, and has been considered of sufficient importance to be presented to the peace commissioners for their consideration. Officials who were interviewed regard ing the matter admit that there can be only one object which would lead the Berlin government to direct such an in vestigationthe desire to extend Ger man jurisdiction over the island which has the largest beds of coal best adapted for steaming purposes. Such an island is Cebu, reports of which have been re ceived, showing that lignite of good qunlity is found there in large quantities. Germany would find Cebu exceedingly valuable as a coaling station, and it would not necessitate ttie establishment of a coal pile at Kiao Chou, which she recently obtained. Aware of Germany's proceeding, the authorities are taking precautions to prevent the consummation of any plan which will enable them to reach fruition. The Berlin government, by the re duction of its fleet in Manila bay, gave an indication of its desire to remain on good terms with the government. While regretting the maintenance of such a large force at Manila, no pro test was made by this government, and the action of Germany in reducing its naval force was entirely voluntary. The report made by the German engi neer explains to the officials why the Gorman vessels were steaming around the islands. It is no longer s secret that Germany is the only nation from which the gov ernment apprehends trouble in the settlement of the Philippine question, and it is to avert the commitment of an overt act that the president determined to so strengthen Hoar-Admiral Dewey's command as to make it superior to the German fleet in Asiatic waters. The battle-ships Oiegon and Iowa will start for Manila via Cape Horn and Hon olulu next Saturday or Sunday, by Tbelr Attitude Toward American Con tinue to be Friendly. Losdom, Kept. 19. The Manila cor respondent of the times says : The insurgents, urged by constant rumors of the intention of America to re-establish Spanish rule in the archipel ago, continue actively recruiting their army. Hundreds from Manila are en listing daily, and troops are being drilled everywhere. Great diligence ia exhibi ted in imitating the American formation and manual, particularly in volley firing. Entrenchments in certain positions are being strengthened, and a vigilant line of pickei ib kept outside the suburbs. At the same time, the attitude of the insurgents is more friendly than before the evacuation. Several thousand rifles bave recently been landed; four new maxims bave also been landed. The provincial orders ary paying into the insurgent treasury a certain portion of the fund captured from convents, professing to reserve the remainder for tbe payment ol their troops. By this means tbey keep prac tically independent of the central author ity, preserving the integrity of their own command. A general occupying one rich province, sent aguinaldo 135,000 in cash last week. petition to President McKinley to estab lifh a protectorate. The attitude of the American officers toward the insurgents is causing unfav orable criticism among the Euro peons who have returned from Manila. They blame their almost criminal ignoranco of the native character, anil their elo mentary ideas of colonizing. The officers seemed determined upon winning glory at the expense of the Insurgents, br hatching imaginary revolts. Aguinaldo has obeyed every order, whether accompanied by threats or not. The insurgent chief at Pasay declined to move, and Aguinaldo asked General Otis not to proceed against him for four days, so as to give him cn opportunity to inter view hira. A British naval officer who has just re turned from Manila says: " What is needed is a force acquainted with the Asiatic custom. America does not seen; to utilize the material she bai at hand. Every one is surprised that O. F. Williams, United States consul at Manila, was not sent to Paris, instead of a lot of staff officers, who know little of tbe Philippines, I am satisfied that if Counsul-General Wildman, who has lived among the Malays, and is familiar with British colonial methods, were given power, he could arrange satisfac tory with Aguinaldo. It is suicidal folly on the part of America that he has not been accredited to Manila long ago." CAME TOO LATE. Afuinaldo' Motive Are Liable to ba Questioned. Los dos, Sept. 20. The Daily News In an editorial article published this morn ing says: The Philippines are McKinley'i old-man-of-tbe-sea, and the mere cooling of the annexation question will not sbaka him off. Aguinaldo's message to tbe Associated Press is couched in the language of suspiciously tautological protestation, and comes rather late in tbe day. Aguinaldo himself could hardly expect his version to be preferred to tbat of General Otis. VERY IMPORTANT Afainaldo'a Meaaag Regarded Intereat nt the Whit Honae. DOCUMENT. With Washinotos, Sept. Tho Associated Press dispatch conveying Aguinaldo's message to tbe American people was re garded with ranch interest at the White House. Tbe president read the state ment with evident appreciation of its importance, but did not volunteer any The agitation among the insurgents is 1 information as 'to tbe attitade of this stimulated by the clerical party, which uses every eQort to influence the natives againBt the American occupation. Evidence to this effect is absolutely trustworthy, although Archbishop Dozal and other prominent ecclesiastics strenu ously deny all knowledge of such action, and solemnly disclaim personal partici pation in it Strikes in all industries are becoming more extensive daily, and the labor question is fast growing serious. The Americans unwisely continue to pay nearly three times the usual wages caus ing discontent to spread rapidly in every class of workmen. All manufacturers are much hampered; the tramways are frequently stopped, and the railway trains are seriously crippled, and a dis continuance of the service is threatened. The strikers naturally drift into the in surgent ranks, consequently labor dis turbances are not discouraged by the the leaders. The news from Washington that the battleship Oregon and Iowa have been ordered here, and that 60,000 tons of coal would be shipped immediately, is interpreted by the American as proof of the intention of the government to hold the island of Luzon. Nothing important ia reported from the insurgent congress, which holds sessions daily at Molo Los. The chief element of cohesion is con fessedly the fear of the return of Spanish domination. If the insurgents shold re ceive reasonable assurances of perma nent foreign occupation, I believe the disintegration of the revolutionary gov ernment would be speedy and complete. The Spanish prisoners are now rigor ously confined within the limits of the walled town. There Is much overcrowd ing in the small area, and it is impossible in the crowded quarters, . in the absence of the proper appliances, to improve the present unsatisfactory sanitary condi tions. The urgent necessity for remov ing the prisoners is fully recognized by the authorities, but no remedy is in sight, and the health of the American troops and the prisoners is seriously threatened. Nearly 10 per cent of the former are already on the sick list. government. Officials near him spoke of the message as a "very important' document. "THEY'RE AFTER HIM.' Aguinaldo' Lire Attempted by Means of Poisoned Soup MAY ASK A PROTECTORATE. Iin- Filipino Cnngrras lino Favorably proaaed the Europenua. London, Sept. 20. The Hong Kong correspondent of the Daily Mail says : The Filipino congress has favorably impressed the Europeans, who have witnessed its proceedings. It is believed that its deliberations will result in a I Manila, Sept. 19. The Republics Filipina asserts tbat an attempt was made to poison Aguinaldo on Friday. A steward, it is alleged, saw a Spanish prisoner who had been allowed b's free dom make a movement which appeared like tampering with a bowl of soup in tehded for Aguinaldo, whereupon the steward tasted a spoonful ut the soup and fell dead. Eleven Franciscan friars are alleged to have been engaged in the conspiracy. The populace, it is further alleged, at tempted to lynch all the Spanish prison ers, but Aguinaldo intervened. At Sat urday's session of the national assembly it appears Aguinaldo was absent, but bis representatives related the story of the outrage to the members, who unani mously adopted the chairman's proposal that they all go to Aguinaldo's house, express sympathy with him and con gratulate him upon his escape. During the evening a special thanks giving service was held in the church at Malo Los. Soup intended for Aguinaldo is now subjected, it is said, to a chemical analy sis before being presented to the insur- -gent leader, and the Spanish prisoners are kept closely confined. CUBANS DESTITUTE. London, Sept. 20. The TimeB this morning publishes a letter from a Havana correspondent in which the writer points out that there appears no disposition among the Spaniards in Cub to attempt a pronunciamento, the Boldiers and civilians alike having ac cepted the disaster and its consequences with a dreary fatalistic calm, and the is land is at last drifting into a conditional . anarchy. Insurgent bands, the correspondent says, are enjoying immunity in the com mission of outrages and plundering, and , this is especially true in the Western provinces, where the insurgents bitterly complain that they have been ignored and abandoned by the United States, and, being left utterly destitute, can only save themselves from starvation by rapine. Without food, medicine and clothing, they are dying like flies, and, nnfortti- ( concluded on page four.)
