FILIPINO ASSEMBLY
MAKES PROTEST
President McKinley Warned Not to At
tempt Forcible Means.
AMERICAN CLAIM
IS PREMATURE
United States Not the Possessor of the
Philippines Until the Peace Treaty
is Ratified.
London, Jan. 9. The Filipino torn
tnittes in Paris, London, and Madrid
telegraphed Saturday to McKinley. The
Paris dispatch reads as follows:
"We protest against the disembarka
tion of the American troops at Iloilo.
The treaty of peace is unratified The
American claim is premature. Pray
consider the resolution concerning Iloilo
The Filipinos wish for the friendship of
America, and they abhor militarism
and deceit."
A representative of the associated
Press learns that the Filipino junta at
Paris has received a dispatch from
Filipino agent at Hong Kong, dated Sat
urday, saying:
"Fight with the Americans unavoida
ble. We are not the aggressors."
A telegram from an English house at
Manila today says the situation is very
etrained, and there is much anxiety
there. The dispatch also contains news
from Iloilo, the substance of which is
that the American troops have not yet
landed.
Alger was at the white house some time
this afternoon. He stated in the most
emphatic terms that no alarming news'
had come from General Otis, and he did
not believe a shot had been fired so far,
or that one woujd be fired. He is confi
dent General Miller will be able to han
dle the situation successfully and obtain
possession of Iloilo without bloodshed.
He is of the opinion that the insurgents
have been so long imposed UDon that
they are naturally suspicious, and fear
the worst if they surrender their strong
holds into the hands of the United
States.
The policy to be adopted now is a gen
tle one. Persuasion will be used before
powder. The president, it is said, also
views the situation in a similar light.
War Department Reticent.
Washington, Jan. 9. A good deal of
reticence is exhibited at the war depart
ment relative to the state of affairs at
Iloilo. The government's instructions
to General Miller at Hollo were to land
and get in communication with the in
surgents. This . is as , far as bis .orders'
have gone, except tuat when he has es
tablished a communication with the in
surgent officials and the people, he is to
make public the purpose of the United
States. Not a shot is to be fired by the
forces of this country unless they are
attacked or unless further orders are
sent from this country. ,' -r
The program was agreed upon between
McKinlc and Alger several days ago.
Memorial at Manila.
San Francisco, Jan. 9. The Singa
pore Free Press says that Spencer Pratt,
consul-general for the United States, has
sent to General Otis, United States mil
itary governorat Manila, a proposal that
a memorial should be erected at Manila
to the memory of all Americans who fell
in the capture of or died of .disease dur
ing the campaign.
The proposal is that all Americans
now resident in the far East, of whom
there is a very considerable number,
should be invited to contribute toward
this object.

New York, Jan. 9. Trie death is an
nounced in Brooklyn of William Peake,

Previous to the Civil war, the Peake

TERRIBLE COLLISION
IN NEW JERSEY
Thirteen Killed and Many Otters More
or. Less Injured.
TWO PASSENGER
TRAINS MEET
The Trains Split in Two, the Rear
Cars Piliug Up On the vDebris of
Those Ahead.
New York, Jan. 9. At 3:35 p. m. a
dispatch was received in this city from
Bound Brook, N. J., stating that thir
teen passengers had been killed and
from thirty to forty Injured in a railway
collision near Bound Brook. Twenty
five of tbe wounded were taken to Plain
field and others to Elizabeth.N.J. There
was a head-end collision.
The collision is reported to have been
between a local train and the Black Di
amond express. .The local was bonnd
from Bound Brook to Jersey City, while
tbe Black Diamond express was on its
way to Buffalo. - The express does not
stop, and tbe engineer was running un
der a heavy bead of steam when the ac
cident occurred. Engineer Rich was in
the cab of the local train. There were
many passengers on the train on their
way to New York. There had been a
freight accident early in the day near
the scene of tbe disaster. The first ac
cident was responsible for the blocking
of one of tbe tracks. The local was cross
ing to get on the dear track, when the
express hit it at the railroad crossing.
The .work of rescue was immediately be
gun. Railroad officials were notified
and a special train was sent to the scene.
The injured were taken to the Muhlen
berg hospital in Plainfield. ; The train
split in two, tbe rear cars piling up on
those ahead. Scores of passengers were
Imprisoned in tbe broken and twisted
iron and wood work. Fire from tbe lo
comotive communicated . to the "cars
near by, and the horror of tbe incinera
tion of those caught under the wreck
was threatened.
Tbe forward car was split open and
every soul in it was either killed or
maimed. Bodies were lying in every
direction. Two or three were piled on
top of each other in places. ' Limbs were
torn from the trunks of some passengers
and hurled yards away. Under a tan
gled mass of iron and steel of one of the
engines could be beard the screams of
the engineer or fireman pinned in an
almost inextricable position with escap
ing Bteam slowly boiling his torn flesh.
The other inmate of the locomotive cab
was doubtless dead, as was the engineer
and fireman of the other train.
Stole Two Guns.
Eugene, Or., James Smith was ar
rested late last evening on a charge of
stealing two guns from M. S. Barker's
store. He resides at Coburg, and while
in Eugene yesterday called at the store
to inspect and price guns. It is alleged
that be concealed two guns under bis
overcoat and left the store. Shortly
afterward, one of the guns was missed
by Mr. Barker, and be immedietely
notified the officers. They found Smith
getting his team ready to leave town.
On searching his wagon they found the
two gunB concealed in the wagon, with
Mr. Barker's price tag attached to them.
A preliminary examination was held
this afternoon, and Smith was bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury, with bonds fixed at $500.
A WRECK IN
Deafness Cannot De Gored
by local applications, as they cannot
reach tbe diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafnesp
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed yon have a rumbling sound or
imperfect bearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cass out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.
