AGUINALDO TO
FLAY CZAR
He Has Dissolved the Philippe Congress.
PROCLAIMS HIM
SELF DICTATOR
Meanwhile His People Continue to De
sert Him Even the Insurgent
Leaders Ask Protection for Their
Wires and Families.
London, Jane 8. A epecial dispatch
from Mauila today says it is reported
that Aguinaldo has dissolved the Philip
pine congress and proclaimed himself
dictator.
Troops are Well Fed.
Washington, Jane 8. Among the re
ports which accompanied the report ot
General Oti3 regarding operations about
Manila, are those relating to the subsist
ence of the army. It appears from these
that the subsistence corps was prompt
in every way in supplying the troops
with food.
Under date of March 20, Major Robert
Fitzhugb, commissioner of subsistence,
says that on the evening of February 5,
after hard fighting and general advance
all along the division line, that the troops
were given their supper promptly at the
regular hour, and during all the subse
quent movement, while the troops have
been constantly confronting the enemy
either in line or in the trenches, the con
tinuous supply of rations had been main
tained and at all times a reserve of at
least two days' travel rations had been
kept on hand.
Otis Outlines Situation.
Washington, June 8. The situation
in the Philippines is described by Gen
eral Otis in the following cable:
"Manila, June 8. Adjutant-General,
Washington : The result of the move
ments in Morong province was to drive
the insurgents into the mountains, cap
turing An tl poli and other towns in that
section. They retreated and scattered
before our advance, leaving twenty-five
dead on the field. Our' loss was four
killed and a few wounded, mostly slight.
The city of Morong is garrisoned. All
other troops are withdrawn. The in
habitants of the provinces profess friend
ship and ask protection.
"Large numbers wish to enter Manila,
but are refused, as the city's population
is increasing too rapidly. Leading na
tives about the islandr including active
insurgent leaders, seek- permission to
send their families to Manila. It is con
sidered the only place of personal secur
ity." The conclusions drawn by the way de
partment officials concerning the condi
tion in the Philippines, given in the dis
patch of General Otia, are that the in
surgents are little more than a maraud
ing band which will continually decrease
when the men find there is life and lib
erty under the American government.
The people who are coming into the
American lines asking protection are
considered like those who sought pro
tection in the forts during the early
stages of American development in the
West.
Nothing is said as to the intention of
Otis to continue active hostilities, but
this matter is left wholly to his diecre
tion. He will no doubt fight or rest, as
the circumstances determine.
End of War a Long Way Off.
New Yobk, June 8. A special to the
World from Washington says : "The
end of the war is a long way off,"
writes Brigadier-General Hall, now on
duty in the Philippines, in a letter to a
friend in this city. The letter is dated
early in May, about the time Aguinaldo
was making his overtures for peace, and

Would Hot Suffer So Again for Fifty
Times Its Pi ice.
I awoke last night with severe pains
in my stomach. I never felt so badly in
all my life. When I came down to work
this morning I felt so weak I could hardly
work. I went to Miller & McCurdy's
drug store and they recommended
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. It worked like magic
and one dose fixed me all right. It
certainly is the finest thing I ever used
for. stomach trouble. I shall . not be
without it in my home hereafter, for
I ebonld not care to endure the sufferings
of last night again for fifty times its
price. G. H. Vii-son, Liveryman, Bur-

Cayenne, French Guiana, June 8.
The dispatch boat Goland will leave here .
this afternoon for Devil's island in order
to take Dreyfus on board the cruiser Sfax,
which will anchor this afternoon off the
island. The Sfax will probably leave
for Benest tomorrow morning.
Last fall I sprained my left hip while
handling some heavy boxes. The doctor
I called on said at first it was a slight
strain and would soon be well, but it
grew worse and the doctor then said I
had rheumatism. It continued to grow
worse and I could hardly get around to
work. I went to a drug etore and the
druggist recommended me to try Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. I tried it and one
half of a 50-cent bottle cured me entire
ly. I now recommend it to all my
friends. F. A. Babcock,' Erie, Pa. It

WITHHOLDS
MESSAGES
Even the Casualty List Is Held Up Sev
eral Days Before Being Posted.
Washington. June 8. The war de
partment declines to make public any
diepatch from General Otis regarding
the situation. He has been instructed
to strictly ceneor all news and to be
consistent. The war department since
the departure of Secretary Alger, has de
clined to make public anything received
from the Philippines. Even ca&Uality
lists are held up a day or two before be
ing posted on the bulletin board. The
department is pursuing the same policy
as that for the month or eix weeks prior
to the attack of the Filipinos upon the
Americans.
Acting Secretary of War Meiklejohn
stated tbat while some advices had been
received from General Otis he waa not at
liberty to make them public. The same
reticence is displayed by Adjutant-General
Corbin. No dispatch has been
posted from General Otis detailing the
situation for more than a week. The
indications are that the department will
now endeavor to conceal everything.
No credence is attached to the London
report that Aguinaldo defeated Generals
Mac Arthur and Law ton.

HIS DEATH
CAME SUDDENLY
Believed to Have Only a Slight Attack
of Pneumonia and Appeared Better
Two Hours Before He Died.
June 7. Auguetin Daly died
suddenly this afternoon.
New Fork, June 8. A dispatch to the
World from Paris says : Mrs. Daly and
Ada Rehan were with Augustin Daly
when he died. Mr. Daly had been ill in
London two weeks with a severe attack
of the grip, and a complete rest bad
been ordered, but he wanted to come to
Paris on urgent business. His physicians
etroogly adyised against the trip, never
theless Mr. and Mrs. Daly and Miss Re
han crossed over last Saturday, On ar
rival here Mr. Daly immediately took to
his bed and never left it.
He would see nobody except an old
friend, Eugene Grivase, a celebrated wa-
ter-color artist. Mr. Daly jestingly put
him in charge of the ladies. Mr. Daly
was treated for a slight attack of pneu
monia, and his condition caused no fear
of a fatal issue. ' M. Grivase accompa
nied the ladies through their shopping,
Tuesday . Mr. Daly was worse and a
trained nurse was called in, but Tuesday
night the patient was better and talked
cheerfully until late. He talked again
Wednesday morning, but was silent from
noon until 2 o'clock, when he had a
slight spasm and died. Death was pain
less, eudden and very unexpected. - No
body had been notified tha't there waa
any fear.
Both Mrs. Dalv and Miss Rehan are
distracted with grief. ' Mrs. Daly will
not leave the room. The body will be
shipped to America as soon as pos
sible. Mr. Daly's mother is there. The
ladies will go in the same ship. Mr.
Daly bad been seriously affected by
worry over a London lawsuit through
which he was trying to recover posses
sion of his English theater, which ia ir
the handa of Mr. Edwards.
