ILmkL The Dalles, Dec. 16, am, bt
Chicago, -Jan. 6. A Special to the
Times-Herald from Washington saya
President McKinley has decided to
force the issue with the Filipinos.
His decision may result in a battle at
Ilo Ilo. It may lead to a harrassin?
war with the Philippines. It is hoped
ana believed that such calamities
will be averted, but it 'remains for the
insurgents to determine what the
result may be.
The president has ordered General
Miller to land his troops at Ilo Ilo.
The order leaves the American com
mander no alternative. He ' is direct
ed to be conciliatory towards the na
tives, but at the same time he is in
structed to use force, if necessary, to
effect his landing and establish himself
in the desi -ed camp. In other words,
General Miller is to act on the defens
ive. He will not fire aun unless
attacked by the Filipinos. . I
General Miller's troops have been
cooped up in transports for n:ae or ten
days. He has - had . several parleys
with the insurgents, who took posses
sion of Ilo Ho as soon as it was evacu
ated by the Spaniards, and ' he has
assured them of the. beneficent char
racter of his. mission. He has brought
these considerate negotiations to a
elimajr by publishing President- Mc-
Kinley's message of peace and good
will to tb,e natives. " '
General; Miller has about 3000 fol-
diers at Ho Ilo. He will also have
the support of several gunboats, for
Admiral Dewey has notified Secretary
Long of the navy department, that he
had sent the Concord and Petrel to
join the naval forces under GoloDel
Dyer at Ilo Ilo. Ic'is not known how
strong a force the insurgents have at
that place. The .war'dopartment has
information which seems to indicate
the nati ves have only about 3000 stands
of arms, 'and it is assumed that fairly
represents their fighting powers at Ilo
iio. ' ;. ;
They ' have no" k modern ' artillery,
while the - American force is well
equipped in that respect. There is no
doubt of the ability of General Miller
to defeat. the Filipinos in pitched bat
tle, but he has been warned -not to be
the aggressor. . , ' ' '

Manila, Jan. 8. Within a few
hours of the proclamation issued by
Otis in behalf of McKinley, agents of

attention. The revolutionary presi

Aguinaldo in his manifesto declared
he had never agreed .at Singapore,

the sovereignty of the Americans here

win independence. He asserts that

WaSHiNGTON, Jan. 6. The quarter
master's department is preparing to
bring to this country the remains of
1200 American heroes' of the Spanish
war, who e)tner were killed by bullets
or died of fever in Cuba or Porto Rico
Bodies not claimed will be buried in
the national cemetery at Arlington;
days before the Spaniards capitulated,
stating clearly and definitely that the
American forces came to overthrow
the Spanish government and liberate
the Filipinos.
In conclusion, Aguinaldo declared
tnat ne naa natives ana foreigners as
witnesses that the American forces
recognized not only by acts that the
Filipinos were the belligerents, but by
publicly saluting the Filipino flag, "as
it triumphantly sailed to the skies be
fore the eyes of all nations."
y Aguinaldo then solemnly protested
in the name of the Deity, who is em
powered to direct bis brothers in the
difficult task of regeneration, against
the intrusion of the American govern
ment and reiterated that he could
produce proofs that he was brought
with the- understanding that the
Americans promised him their co
operation to attain independence.
The revolutionary leader then called
upon all his followers to work together
with force and after assuring, them
that he is convinced that they will
obtain absolute independence urged
them to ',' never turn from the glorious
road" on which they have "already so
far advanced," .

Chicago, Jan. 8.-7-A. special to the

Secretary Alger has made such stren

Admiral Dawey be made governor-gen-
-eral of the Philippines, and has in
sisted on the right of the army over
tne navy in all matters of military
rule, that he has probably won his
point. The president put the matter
forward merely , as a suggestion, it is.

CUBAN CHIEFS CONNER.
Considered the Position of (. the Cuban
Army. ( y .
Havana, Jan. 8. Twenty-five
Cuban generals and citizens met at
Mariano yesterday to consider the po
sition of the Cuban army. Among
those who attended were Generals Vi-
dac, Lacrete and Pedro Gil, but Gen
eral Maysi Rodriguez, commander of
the Mantanza province, and General
Menocal, commander of Havana pro
vince, were not present.
A document was drawn up for dis
patch to General Rodriguez, asking
him to call a general meeting of offi
cers to take action, first npon the need
of a sum of money to enable the offi
cers and privates of the army to make
a new start in life; and secondly, with
regard to the lack of respect shown to
the Cuban officers by the people of
Cuba and the Americans.
The latter matter has special refer
ence to the refusal of the municipal
police to salute General Sanguilly and
other officers. The meeting today re
sulted in a th-ee hours' talk, critical
but not unfriendly to the Americans,
and no disposition was shown to as
sume an attitude of protest or opposi
tion. On the contrary a willingness
to disband was expressed providing
the money is forthcoming to give the
men composing the Cuban army a new
start. . As one of those present put the
case, "As the United States collects
the island's revenues, we must look to
the United States."
FILIPINO COMMIT-
TEE PROTESTS
They Hold America's
Claim of Sovereign
ty Is Premature.
London, Jan. 9. The Filipino com
mittees in Paris, Madrid and London
telegraphed Saturday to McKinley.
The Paris dispatch reads as follows
"We protest against the disembarka
tion of the American troops at Ilo Ilo.
The treaty of peace is unratified. The
American claim of sovereignty is pre
mature - Pray consider the resolution
regarding Ilo Ilo. The Filipinos wish
for friendship of America, and abhor
militarism and deceit."
A representative of the Aossociated
Press learns that the Filipino junta
at Paris has received a telegram from
a Filipino agent at Hong Kong, dated
Saturday, saying:
"Fight with the Americans unavoid
able. We are not the aggressors."
A telrgram from an English house
at Manila today says the situation is
yery strained, and there is much anx
iety there. The dispatch also con
tains news from Ilo Ilo, the substance
of which is that the American troops
haye not yet landed.

The president has practically selected

Mr. Potter was formerly minister to

Both Branches of the Leirislartire
Organized.
Salem, Or., Jan. 9. Both houses
of the legislative assembly convened
at the appointed time this morning,
but beyond organizing little was done.-
The senate did nothing. The house
pent some ,time in electing a ser-
grant-at-arms, and then passed a
couple of resolutions.
The senate was called to order at 10
o'clock by President Taylor. The
roll-call showed all present but three.
On motion of Reed, the senate ad
journed until o'clock p. M.
The house was 'called to order at
10:20 with speaker Carter in the chair.
The roll-call showed a quorum present
50 members answering to their names.
On motion of Moody, of Multnomah,
Speaker Carter was declared speaker
for this session, some doubts having
j been expressed as to the legaity of
the continuance of the special session
organization. Speaker Carter ex
pressed his gratitude in a few well
chosen remarks.
The election of Carter was followed
by a resolution offered by Curtis, of
Clatsop, continuing in office the other
officers of the house,' clerks," etc.," ex
cept the sergeant-at.arms. The reso
lution was adopted by a vote of 49 to 0.
The motion of Reeder, of Umatilla,
that the honse proceed with the elec
tion of asergeant-at-arms was amended
by Whaley, of Multnomah, to enable
the republican members to hold a
caucus. A recess was therefore taken
for half an hour, but afull hour elapsed
before the caucus adjourned and an
nounced its choice. The plum fell to
Ben S. Worsley, of Astoria. ' -
congress convened after the holidays
it found committee work no further
advajced than when it adjourned 10
days before.
Exactly eight weeks remain before
the end of the 55th congress, and it is
a grave question whethar in this time
it can enact the absolutely neceesary
legislature, or whether the president
will have to, call an extra session to I1
complete the work.
When the appropriation bills are
enacted, it is possible for Congress to
adjourn and let matters go.
