INDEPENDENCE
OR DEATH
This is the Motto of the Fli-
pinos at Manila.
New York, Jan. 13. A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: The
situation here becomes graver hourly,
The Herald correspondent visited
Aguinaldo's outposts around Manila
Saturday and Sunday. The native
troops seemed enthusiastic at the idea
of an attack npon Manila. On all the
houses are displayed flaming posters
bearing this inscription: "Indepen
dence or death." It is said native
troops tn the environs of Manila num
ber 30,000.
All profess great hatred for the
Americans. The correspondent was
arrested frequently on suspicion of
being an American, but was released
upon showing his consular papers.
Aguinaldo's soldiers one and all are
longing to attack Manila. They de
clare they will accept no terms except
absolute independence.

Governor Tells What he Knows About
Kazan's Beef.
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 13. Governor
Roosevelt has sent to General Miles at
Washington a letter concerning the
meat furnished the "Rough Riders
during the recent war. Roosevelt
states that four kinds of beef were
issued. The corned beef was good,
but the canned roast beef was unfit for
food. When the rough riders left
Tampa, a large quantity of speoially
prepared beef was placed on board the
transport in wbich they embarked.
This beef was stored in the forward
end of the transport. It had been
prepared by some special process un
known to Roosevelt but supposed to
be in some form of solution. The
transport was out from Tampa but a
few hours when this beef (began to
smell. The stench was so great thai
the men avoided the forward side of
the transport as much -as possible.
The meat could not be eaten and was
thrown into the ocean. The fourth
kind of beef was served to rough
riders at Santiago after July 5. It was
of good quality and was brought to
Cuba in a special steamer with refrig
era tor facilities.

THE SITUATION
IS IMPROVED
Eneourasringr News Re
ceived from the Phil
ippines Wasaixgton. Jan. 15. War de
partment officials were very much en
couraged upon receipt of the news
from Otis at Manila, that indicated a
distinct improvement in the situation
there.
The general's dispatch completely
negatives the absurd story from Mad
rid of the American troops at Manila
having mutinied and refused to pro
ceed to Ilo Ilo, necessitating, the with'
drawal of Miller's forces from that
port. Otis is master wherever he has
planted his foot, and undoubtedly is
able tb carry out any policy an to treat
ment of natives the administration is
likely to dictate.
There are indications that encour
age offioials here to believe that the
conciliatory policy towards the natives
that was recently adopted will succeed
although it cannot be expected that
the Filipinos will be convinced at once
of the absolute good faith in which
Otis is acting towards them.

'. With all on Board.
Tacoma, Jan. 15. During . the
prevalence of a terrifio gale in Tacoma
harbor, the British four-masted bark
Andalana capsized and sank in 22
fathoms of water some time between 2
and 4 o'clock Saturday morning. The
captain, mate and 15 sailors were
drowned. Not a soul escaped. The
vessel had just discharged her ballast,
and was lashed between two great
boom logs to hold her leyel. The
disaster was caused , by the breaking
adrift of one of these logs, causing the
other one to upset the Andalana. She
probably sank within a very few mlu
ute after capsizing.
The ship was 2395 tons displacement
and was valued at $150,000. She bad
arrived in ballast from Shanghai and
was preparing to take on wheat for
England.

complete paralysis of the telegraph

Postal Telegraph companies was cut
off from (all but southern points.
Considerable) damage was done
throughout tho city by the high winds
and a number of persons were injured
by falllog signs, poles etc, but so far

EAGAK TAKES IT ALL BACK.
Withdraws the Objectionable Portions of
Bis Statement to the War Board.
Washington, Jan. 16. Commissary
General Eagan today sent to the war
investigating commission a revised
statement in place of that originally
made in response to Miles' charges.
The revised statement Is about 35 per
cent shorter than that which was or
dered withdrawn because of its violent
and abusive character The commis
sion went into secret session to read
the document and decide whether in
its present form it has been expurgat
ed sufficiently to permit it to be made
a part of the commission records.
Accompanying Eagan's revised
statement was a letter from the com
missary-general in which he disclaim
ed, any intention in his former
testimony of disrespect to the corneals-
ion. - The writer la excuse for his
vituperative language states that he
nas been placed before the world as a
man who fed the army on poisioned
meat. He says it is but natural that
when proper opportunity was given
him to meot and refute the charges he
should characterize them in harsh
language and in terms that are deemed
improper, no matter what the provo
cation. Ho concludes:
'I therefore withdraw the language
and matter so objectionable, and re
submit to you my sworn statement,
with abiding faith that your commis
sion having all the facts before it will
decide the points at issue justly."

an J
Arrangements for Paying the
Cuban Soldiers.
New York, Jan. 16. According to
Brigadier-General Jose Miguel Gomez,
a member of the Cuban commission in
wasnington, tne Cuban army- is sure
to receive the three years' pay to
which it is entitled, $40,000,000 being
advanced by the United States, with
the custom-houses of Cuba as' security
for its repayment.
Brigadier-General Gomez, who has
just arrived in this (city from Wash
ington, is grateful for the way the
commission 'has been' received. The
negotiations, it is expected, will be
completed by the end of this month,
when the commission will return to
Cuoa. GeneVal Gomez said last night:
'Our hopes have all been realized.
At first, however, things looked very
dark for us. Poor General Garcia was
the most pessimistic member of the
commission. He had little hope for
the success of our plans when he left
for Washington. The rest of the com
mission argued, however, that as the
Americans had taken charge of Cuba
and thus prevented us from raising
money, we had a right to request a
loan with wbich to pay off our men.
General Garcia asked for only $100 for
each man.
'One of the commissioners protested
because of the small amount. Then
came the general's death, and for the
time being negotiations were sus
pended. At our next meeting it was
agreed that an official list of the men
in the Cuban army would be required
before any agreement could be reached.
Accordingly, I left for Cuba, whence I
returned on January 6 with the re
quired document.
"There are 47,000 men to be paid in
the Cuban : army. The amount we
have requested is $40,000,000, to be
turned over to us either tn one or three
payments. We will give as security
the customs houses in Cuba.
As affairs now stand, however, I
think we will receive the amount in
three payments. "This, however, is
not decided yet."
