FILIPINOS SERIOUS
LY AGRIEVED
Appeal to the President for
Simple Justice.
CONSIDERATION
WAS NOT GIVEN
American Officers in Command, They
Say, Have Treated Them Very
Shabbily, and They Have Asked
the President to Direct Them. to
Temper Their Actions.
Hosg Kong, Nov. 16 A part of the
document drawn up by the eocalled
Filipino junta here, whose members
claim to represent Aguinaldo, the in
surgent leader, and - the government
which be claims to have established, is
appended. '
It is. impossible to ascertain how far
this junta represents Aguinaldo and his
followers. It is needless to add that
many of the statements made are not in
accordance with the' facts .in the case.
The. Filipinos write;
"We, the Hong Kong representatives
of onr countrymen, appeal to the great
and good judgment of President Mc
Kinley and the spirit of fairness and
justice of the American people, as always
shown in their regard for the petitions
of the weak and oppressed.
"While the fate of the islands is still
undecided, and we are doing all in our
power to prevent a conflict between the
Americans and Filipinos wailing pa
tiently for the conclusion of the Paris
conference we implore the intervention
of the president,' supported by the will
of the people, to end the slights shown
our leaders, officials, soldiers, and peo
ple by some of the American military
and naval authorities and soldiers.
"We do not wish to do Admiral Dewey
or General OtiB wrong, but we presume
that reports,, under press censorship,
will be, as thev have been, sent broad
cast, alleging that all the mistakes are
ours, and that the Americans are treat
ing us most kindly. But we must tell
the trnth, for the best interests of both
parties, depending upon the American
president and people to see that justice
is done to our leaders, Aguinaldo espec
ially, having fall confidence in ultimate
ly receiving justice from America.
"What have we done that we should
experience unfriendly treatment? Are
the Americans our friends? The tension
becomes greater daily, and any moment
a shot may be fired by an irresponsible
American or Filipino soldier. And the
flame thus started can only be quenched
with blood dear to us.
"We beseech the American president
and people to help us to control our own
people by directing the officers at Manila
to temper their actions with friendship,,
justice and fairness."
NEW SYNDICATE
IS IN CONTROL
Transfer of the Nicaragua Canal Grant
k Completed -Maritime Company
Shut Out
New Yobk, Nov. 16. E. E. Cragin,
of Chicago, who engineered the purchase
of the concession for building the Nicar
agua canal in the interest of the Grace
syndicate, arrived today on the. steamer
Allegheny from Greytown. He was ac
companied by a corps of civil engineers
belonging to the, corporation. Cragin
says the syndicate which be represents
now has full control of the building of
the inter-oceanic canal, and the .old
grant -has been canceled.. Cragin' said:
"We. went down theie for the purpose
of ascertaining if the ' grant held by the
Maritime (Miller) company, was work
able, and soon discovered it was not.
The concession for years had practically
been canceled by the violation of several
articles of the 'agreement. Although the
government held that the concession ran
until October, 1899, there was no dis
position on the part of the officials to
grant a renewal of the work which had
ceassd nine years ago. Then we arranged
for a new and independent concession,
work on which will be pushed vigorous-
ly." - ' ; '
POWERS STAND
BEHIND SPAIN
Support for That Government's Pre
tensions Regarding the Philippines
Said to Have Been Pledged. .
Washington, Nov. 16. There has
been remarkable activffy about the war
department for several days in the way
of preparing the troops for service in
lands beyond the United States. An
order has been issued directing at .least
ten regiments of the regular army now
stationed in Northwestern forts and posts
to hold themselves in readiness for im
mediate transportation and service in
tropical climates.
It is now believed that an early move,
to Cuba is intended. ' - '
. Another belief entertained is that the
United States government desires to be
in readiness to renew hostilities if Spain
refuses to accept the decision of the
American peace commission.
In this connection a report has got
about that during the delay which has
occurred, Spain has been able to form
some sort of coalisioh with the European
powers to break up the pretentions she.
has been making in the negotiations.
An interesting feature of the matter is
the lefuaal of the authorities to crder
the muster out of the volunteers who re
cently returned from Porto Kico. .
Disabled at Sea. )
Seattle, Nov, 15. The steamer Cen
tennial arrived here tonight, from Hilo,
Hawaii, bringing an account of the
wreckof the steamer City of Columbia,
which for two days and nights tosBed on
the ocean, gradually breaking up, her
machinery disabled and the water pour
ing into her. Through unexcelled steam
ship she finally reached a dock in the
harbor of Hilo, 'where she completely
broke down. .
The City of Columbia left Honolulu
October 29th for Seattle with about
twenty passengers, who were brought to
this city by the Centennial. The crew
remained at Hilo. The vessel was con
demned by the board 'of survey. The
steamer was .valued at about $100,000,
and was insured for $60,000. She was
owned principally by Alexander Bailie,
of Tacoma. ' .
. ..' : '
- Scramble at Lewiston..
' Lewiston, ' Idaho, Nov.. 15. The
Northern Pacific and Navigation com
panies are locating lines in the Nez
Perces country. Appearances indicate
a lively contest between ' the two com
panies. It looks as if there will "be
plenty of railroad building in the Pacific
coast states. The Northern Pacific is the
aggressor. The Navigation company is
supposed to be backed by the Union
Pacific and the Great Northern roads
and the contest promises a lively one.
Bonds will be plenty. It looks as if
dividends wilLgo into new rail lines in
stead of the stockholders.
All the railroad officers who have been
interviewed are extremely reticent, bnt
the surveyors' gangs "are doing a great
deal of talking and are supposed to be
well posted. . .
The speech of Father Abraham in the
last number of Poor Richard's Almanac,
published by Benjamin Franklin in
1757, '.'Contains the Wisdom of many
ages and nations assembled and formed
into one connected discourse." When
first published it attracted world wide
attention and was copied in all the news
papers in America ' and England and
tranelated into many foreign languages.

REFUSES TO PART
WITH PHILIPPINES
Her Commissioners at Paris
. Reaffirm Their Position.
WILL NOT DIS
CUSS SOVEREIGNTY
They Assert That the Peace Protocol
Does Not Warrant Any Reference
to Spain's Withdrawal Only on
Her Own Terms.
Pabis, Nov. 16. The meeting today
of the Spanish-American commission be
gan at 2:15 and ended at 3 p. m. The
Spanish commissioners presented a doc
ument in answer to the American argu
ment which was submitted last week.
By mutual consent, the memorandum
was handed to the Americans without
being read, and the meeting adjourned
to Saturday next. -
The. Spanish communication will be
translated this evening, and its con
tents wil be discuBsed by" the United
States commissioners tomorrow at the
usual daily session.
The Spaniards in their communication
today reaffirmed the position which they
assumed against the discussion here of
Spain's Philippine sovereignty;' They
insist that the words, "shall determine
the control, disposition and government
of the Philippines" in article' 3 of the
peace protocol, do not warrant any refer
ence to Spain's withdrawal from the
Philippines, except on her own terms,
and therefore the Spaniards propose
arbitration on the construction to be
..m
placed on- the words, "control, disposi
tion and government." '
