The Revolutionists Agree on One. Point, That the Islands Must Be Freed From Spanish Rule. LONDON. Sept. 13.-The Manila corre spondent of the Times, ti'li-gr't"? Thursday, says: THE LEADING DRY GOODS AND CLOTHING HOUSE OF ASTORIA "I am the only for Ign joiirnul.ar prt enl at the Insolvent congr.s at Main l". which has been selected a the temporary capital of the revolutionary government. ICurly th:s forenoon Aguliiulilo, ac-om. lanlrd by a large staff of general,, and ministers, moved In state from the ton veiitlon now occupied as his military headquarters to a church half a mile dis tant. 'Il.re lie w:ia received by the as-emtib d deltg.iles and conducted to the platform In the chancel, fnm wh ch he delivered brief mensage. The substance of the me- ige was congratulatory on the happy termination of the revolution und com plete conquest of territory. ..e made a flowery apeal to the delegates. klnK them, by the memory of the Illustrious patriots of Philippine history, to follow the mple of Kn'Witd, Kritice and America In preparing n constitution and; promulgating laws to secure the complete and pennant nt lllerty of the people of the riilllMUncs. The message exclte.1 but I little enthusiasm, because II was absolute-1 ly non-coinmlital. j "The asuemlily then proceeded lmmell- alely to onganlae preparatory to the dis cussion on the proposed constitution and the rode of laws and the election of a president. j "A strong party. Intoxicated by the present measure of success, favors oppo-' slthm to any foreign protectorate, being contldent that the people can govern themselves. Wiser councillors strenuously ors such a suicidal policy. AtnWently unanimity now exists only In f determin ation to free the Islands forever from Spanish rule. This Is the universal feel Ing and will probably prove the control ling power In the determination of the final action of the congress," CUBANS WANT ABSOLUTE INDEPENDENCE OF ISLAND. They Fear the Americans May Capture Their Trade and Reduce Them to Poverty Through Competition. HAVANA. Sept. 15.-The prominent fea ture of the situation Is the feverish and wldc-sprcud agitation of the Cubans in favor of the absolute Independence of the, Island at all costs. I This violent impetus given to the agltu- J lion for Independence Is the result, nppar-i ently of the arrival of Mr. Porter, and the examination he Is making Into tariffs,; municipal taxation and other matters of i internal government, which Cubans had expected to handle and administer them selves. Porter's operations are viewed with sus picion by an Important section of Cubans, who keep on calling meeting against "the usurptlon of privileges purchased at aucn it sacrifice." They Insist on "absolute freedom, unre. strained, und liberty, or a light to the death." One reason why many Spaniards who at first favored annexation have now charmed their opinion Is that thoy fear competition of American rivals us store keepers, hotel managers, and restaurant keepers. They are afraid that the Ameri cans, instead of coming to buy out their establishments und stocks at fabuluous prices, based upon old Spanish duties, will open shops next door. Import goods nt duties under the new regime, ruin their business and reduce them to poverty. Ex actly the same, spirit prevails among planters. The. deduction seems to be this: With Cuba independent, no foreign cap ital and no competition: with Cuba under American rule, compotltlon against which Cuban would not have energy or powor to succeed. Thcso questions are uppermost In every mind, making general uneasiness and d l- id Winter Goods Now Arriving Daily H.

Never before In the history of republican politic In Connectlcutt has thore been eo bitter a contest as that which was waged on the anti-convention stages between the forces , seeking the nomination for governor, with George E. Lounsberry on tne one hand, and John Addison Porter, the president'! secretary, on the other. Porter forced the fWihting on a platform avowedly con structed as opposed to the state organiza tion of the party. The surprise of the day was the unexpectedlyjoverwhelmlng vic tory of the Lounsberry forces. Louns berry Is a wealthy shoe manufacturer ot South Norwalk, ana a brother of ex-Governor Lounsberry.

La Numbr j of Officers Will Leave the Service With the Close of the War. ( WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-The war de- partment will soon take up the question ot j mustering out a considerable number ot ( the general officers of the volunteer army, . including major-generals and brigadiers, now that the volunteer forces have be, reduced ao largely. All the regimental ; officer have gone out . of the service j with their respective regiments, but the entire force Of the general officers will still be on duty. The first attention of the department will be to organize the ; several corps and division, on the basis of the reduced number of regiments and when this Is done general officer will be named a corps commanders, etc. Reor ganlxatlon can be affected with about half the general officers now In the er- i vice, so that when new assignments are made, those officers remunilng unassigned , will be mustered out. It Is believed, however that with the j close uf the war a considerable number 0f higher volunteer officers will signify : their wish to leave the service and will i resign so that the number which It will I be necessary to muster out will be com- paratively small. MRS. BOTKIN WILL MAKE A HARD FIGHT. She Claims to Have No Fear of the Evi dence Presented to the Governor for Extradition. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept 15-Chlef ot Police Lees has carefully compiled the evidence he will submit to Governor Budd In the Botkln case. He has gathered be tween this city and Dover, Del., neanj forty affidavits bearing on the murder ot Mrs. J. P. Dunning and her sister, Mrs. Deane by means of poisoned candy sent by mail. The requisition from Governor Tunnell, of Delaware, for the delivery of Mrs. Botkln to Detective MeVey of that state Is accompanied by a warrant sworn to by John B. Pennington, father of the murd ered women, charging Mr. Botkln with the murder of Mrs. Deane. Besides the warrant are numerous affidavits from Kent county, Deleware, establishing the murder of the two women. Other affidavits give In detail the cir cumstances ot the case, nearly all of which have heretofore been published. In a sworn statement Mr. Dunning eays that be believes the handwriting on ths envelope bf the anonymous letter wh:cn INVOLVED reached bi wife In July, ls9T, was that of Mrs. Botkln. He could not Identify the writing on the box which contained the candy a he had not seen it. The only new point Is contained In the affidavit of Mark Green, a drug clerk, who declares that In the latter part of May, or early in June, while employed at luv2 Market street, he sold 25 cents worth of arsenic to a woman who said she wanted Jt for the purpose of bleaching straw hats. Her appearance, he said, resembled that of Mrs. Botkln. Mrs. Cordelia Botkln and the attorneys for the defense claim to have no fear of the evidence that will be presented to Governor Budd by the prosecution. I'Bey base their confidence on the alleged abil ity of the accused woman to establieti a complete allbL The alibi will cover period dating from the day Clerk Frank Green claims he sold Mrs. Botkln arsenic In the Owl drug store to the day she was arrested In Stockton. COLORADO REPUBLICANS. DENVER. Sept. lS.-The republican state convention made the following nom inations this afternoon. . Governor, Henry R. Wolcott; lieutenant governor. Charles W. Noble; secretary. W. R. Brlsbln; treasurer, Fred O. Roor; auditor. George F. Adam; attorney-gen. eral, C. C. Goodall; superintendent of pub lic instruction. George Humphrey. The platform, after commending the ad mlnietrotlon of President McKlnley, say: The republican party 1, and always ha been, a bimetallic party. The repub lican of Colorado are earnestly devoted to the cause of bimetallism. It bag n sympathy with mono-metalllsm, and be lieves that the final Imposition of a single standard upon the people of this country would work Irreparable Injury. It mem bers believe that the proper place for the republican bl-metallist Is in the ranks of the party and not out of it. In the future, as In the past, the republicans who represent Colorado at the national capital will be found working for the res toration of silver. True blmetalllst are necessarily believers In hard money gold and silver as the basis ot our national circulation." WORK PROGRESSING SMOOTHLY. SAN JUAN.
