to the German mlllUry authorities,
and tha wltbdrawl of some now there,
for the present at least, ia desired by
tba Berlin government. This waa

public tha text of the German com
munication or to comment on It until

cles la that the notice is similar to the
on sent Argentina and other neutral
countries.
It Is said that while the German
government doea not Insist that con
suls In Belgium take out Jnew exequa
turs from German officers, It an
nounces that such consuls must exer
cise their functions only by permission
from the military In control of the ter

was submitted here by Lieutenant
Colonel Cbarlea D. Davis, at tha meet
ing of tha Illinois National Guard and
Naval Reserve association. Under the
proposed plan militia regiments would

and th Medical department. Acting
on thla information, tba military offi
cers instituted patrol of tha etreeU

defense.
It Is disclosed that secret sgenU of
th Filipino constabulary who are
member of th secret societies dis
closed tha plan for an uprising, tba
enabling th constabulary and polios to
disperse gatherings at Bagumbeyan,
Paco and Navotoa, near Maloboo.
The aprising ws conducted mostly
by followers of Artemio Klearte,
revolutionary now In Hongkong, to
which place be was banished by th
official several month ago. IU fail

ReporUfrom Nsvotas, a town six
miles north of th capital, say that
simultaneously with th outbreak at
Manila on Christmas eve SO men en
tered th municipal building, seised
three policemen on duty ther and In
effectually tried to open the safe.

Twidnn British authorities were
advised Monday that Germany bad
announced IU refusal to recognize tne
exequaturs of British consul to Bel
inm This is resrarded a preliminary
to Germany's formal taking over of
the government of Belgium.
It is believed here that refusal to
recognise Brand Whitlock a United

received no notification from Germany
that American consuls, originally ac
credited to Belgium, would be required
to obtein new exequatur or certificate
of authority. Until such a notice is

termine a course of action. . -
Officials here regarded the points

In reply to question recently as to
tha sUtus of Brand Whitlock, Presi

Jennings Bryan is to retire soon irom

Th politieans base their credence of
the rumor on their belief . that the
Sju-ratarv of SUte must set out of
the cabinet soon to make hi race for
the presidential nomination in 1916.
They say hi candidacy is an assured
fa Senator Stone, thev sav. will
succeed him in the cabinet because, as
