Is Conducting a Vigorous Campaign to Quell

Manila, Jan. 8. General J. Franklin
Bell is conducting a vigorous cam'
palgn in Batangas Province. Every
available soldier Is In the field. The
columns under the command of Col
onels Wint and Dougherty are doing
excellent work and driving the.Fillpi
nos In all directions. A number of
the latter are fleeing to Tayabas
Province, where the native constabu-
lary are rendering valuable assistance
in capturing men and rifles.
The advocates of peace at Manila
deprecate the stern measures era-
ployed by General Bell. In reply
General Bell says that these peace ad
vocates have bad numerous oppor
tunities to use their influence, as they
have been given passes through the
American lines almost for the asking,
and that it has been afterward proved
that they often only went through the
lines for the purpose of assisting the
insurrection. General Bell says that
the best peace method now is a rigor
ous warfare until the insurrection is
completely subdued.
The arrest of members of the weal

covered from the effects of his
wound. In an official report of the
encounter, it Is said that Schoeffel
killed three men before he received
his wound, and that the remnants of
the detachment of 18 men were saved
by his personal courage and daring.
The civil authorities say that the

ful. On the other hand, the military
authorities consider Leyte to be dan
gerous on account of- Its proximity to
Samar, If for no other reason.
TREATY OF EXTRADITION.
Has Been Signed by Secretary Hay and Dan
ish Minister Brua
Washington Jan. 8. Secretary Hay
and M. Constantln Brun, the Danish
minister to the 'United States, today
signed a treaty of extradition between
the United States and Denmark. This
particular treaty was drafted during
Secretary Gresham's administration
of the state department, but was not
completed then, owing to the objec
tion of President Cleveland to any
extradition treaty that did not permit
a country to deliver up its own citi
zens under extradition proceedings.
Denmark would not agree to surren
der her citizens to the United States,
and the treaty was allowed to remain
n abeyance until recently, when, find
ing that the United States had made
several treaties without the objection
able provision, Denmark reneved the
negotiations that ended today in the
signing of the treaty. As it will go to
the Senate for approval, the conven
tion Is silent on the surrender of a
country's own citizens.
PEKIN IN GALA ATTIRE.
Foreign

Entry of the Court.
Pekin, Jan. 8. The Chinese capital
on the eve of the court's return pre
sents an animated and gaudy scene

of Chinese officials, clad in furs and
embroidered silks, ride about the
streets of Pekin, and parties of for
eign soldiers bent upon sigh-seeing,
roam everywhere. Thousands of new
soldiers from the Province of Shan
Tung, who are finely uniformed and
equipped with modern weapons, en
tered Pekin this morning and marched
through Legation street.
The foreign ministers have decided,
In consideration of recent events, not
to witness the re-entry of the court.
Negotiations concerning the Man-
churian treaty await the arrival of the

Only One National Movement Now on
Foot.
Cleveland O., Jan. 6. There Is but
one national movement In the United
States for a memorial for William Mc-
Kinley, to be built by popular sub
scription. That memorial will be
erected over the grave of the late
president at Canton. The work of se
curing subscriptions Is in the hands of
the McKinley National Memorial As
sociation, with headquarters in Cleve
land, Ohio. Some confusion In the
public mind has resulted because there
existed an organization in Washing
ton, D. C, known as the "Washington
Arch Association." Its object was to

mac river. The Arch Association no
longer exists, having voted to go out
of business and leave the field to the
national organization having head
quarters In Cleveland.

Perilous Trip to Mi wall
San Francisco, Jan. 2. The steam
er Alameda brings particulars of the
hard time the S. D. Carleton had dur
ing her run from Puget Sound to Hon
olulu. The vessel was on her beam
ends half a dozen times and on many
occasions the crew thought the masts
would roll out of her. For two weeks
the decks were awash, and most of
the time from two to three feet of
water was running through the
cuppers, and members of the crew
took their lives in their hands every
time they went on the main deck. For
twelve days the Carleton was off Honolulu,
THE CZOLGOSZ AUTOPSY.
Assassin Was Sane and Fully Responsible for
His Crime.
New York, Jan. 7. An exhaustive
report on the trial, execution, autopsy
and mental status of Czolgosz, the as
sassfn of President McKinley, ts given
in the New York Medical Journal. The
report embodies the result of much
careful investigation by Dr. Carlos Mc
Donald and Edward A. Spitzka, of thl3
city, ihe question which these inves
ttgators set themselves to answer was:
"When Czolgosz shot the Presideut
did he know the nature and quality of
tne act ne was going to commit, and
that the act was wrong?"
This was from the legal standpoint.
from the standpoint of medical sc!
ence the question that framed Itself
was;
"Was Czolgosz at the time he com
mitted the act a victim of mental
disease or mental unsoundness?"
The reply to these questions, which
embodies the entire history of the
case from the trial of the criminal to
his execution and the disposal of his
remains, (takes up nearly 12 pages In
the New York Medical Journul, and,
divested of all technicalities, is to
the effect that Czolgosz, was sane and
responsible under the law, and pun
ished for that offense; yet, every
thing in his history, according to the
medical experts, pointed to the ex
istence in him of the social disease,
;tnarchy, of which he was a victim.
His refusal to reply to questions at
the trial is regarded as having been
in line with his role, expressed In the
theatrical declaration: "I am an an
archist, and have done my duty."
Mr. McDonald concludes his report
with the declaration that Czolgosz,
when he assassinated President Mc
Kinley was In all respects sane both
legally and medically and fully re
sponsible for his act.
Mr. Spitzka, who made the autop
sy, concludes his report as follows:
"There has been found absolutely
nothing that could have been at the
bottom of any mental derangement.
Taking It all in all, the verdict must
be socially diseased and perverted,
but not mentally diseased. The moit
horrible violation of human law can
not always be condoned by the plea
of Insanity. The wild beast slumbers
in all. It is not always necessary to
Invoke insanity to cause its awaken
ing." NATIONAL LEPER STATION.
Hawaiians Severely Criticize Bill Introduced
by Delegate Wilcox.
Honolulu, Dec. 31, via San Fran
cisco, Jan. 7. The bill introduced in
Congress by Delegate Wilcox, pro
viding for a National leper settle
ment on the Island of Molokai, was
a surprise here as the matter had not
been discussed in Hawaii since Con
gressman Kahn, of , California, pro
posed a similar scheme a year ago.
At that time the plan aroused strong
opposition in Hawaii and Is now crit
icised with equal vigor. The plan is
greatly objected to by local papers,
though some of the home rulers ap
pear to favor it, on the ground that
it will save Hawaii the expense of
maintaining the leper settlement.
Collector of Customs Stackable has
received from Washington orders to
admit importations from the Philip
pines free of duty. As a result, about
40,000 Manila cigars that have been
held here in bond will be allowed to
enter free.
Hawaii has been visited by a heavy
rain storm, which, at one point, is
thought to have been a record-breaker.
Unofficial reports from Papaaola,
Island of Hawaii, state that last Wed
nesday 40 inches of rain fell in 24
hours. Professor Lyons, of the gov
ernment observatory, says that this
Is a world's record, but he discredits
the report. From another district a
fall of ten inches in five hours Is re
ported, and throughout the Islands
there were heavy rains. A few wash
outs occurred, but there was no seri
ous damage.

Washington, Jan. 4. Admiral Samp

rear admiral without being conscious
of the fact It was a promotion which
he had looked for, and It Is said to
have been the one thing which trou
bled him in his last moments. The
appointment was made the day before
he died, but it was only when his
brother-in-law. Dr. Fairfax Irwin, re
turned from his funeral at Annapolis
that the appointment was found.

BARS OUT CHINESE
BILL WHICH WILL SOON BE IN
TRODUCED IN CONGRESS.
The Measure Is the One Agreed Upon by the
Pacific Coast Senators and Representa
tives It Is Much More Comprehensive
Than Any Previous Measure, and Its Op
eration Is to Be Perpetual
Washington, Jan. 8. The senators
and representatives of the Pacific
Coast who have been considering a bill
for Chinese exclusion have perfected
a measure which will be introduced
in both houses In a few 'days. It is
much more comprehensive than any
bills that have been presented hereto
fore on this subject, .most of which
simply provide for exclusion of Chi
nese or re-enacting the Geary law.
The bill under consideration contains
forty-five pages. It does not limit it
self to any term of years, as did the
Geary act, but, if passed in its present
form, would be perpetual, unless re
pealed. ,
The bill declares that all Chinese
other than citizens of the United
States, or those residing In the United
States under the present treaty with
China, shall be refused admission, and
returned tp the country whence they
came at the expense of the transporta
tion company bringing them. Trans
portation companies bringing Chinese
to the United States shall detain them
until their right of admission shall
have been ascertained. Penalties are
provided for not complying with the
provisions of the act, $1000 and one
year's imprisonment being the mini
mum, with a liability to forfeiture of
the vessels violating any of the pro
visions of the law.
The only Chinese persons permitted
to enter the United States under the
act are those who have become citi
zens by birth and naturalization and
officials of the Chinese government,
teachers, students, merchants, travel
ers for pleasure or curiosity, returning
laborers, who must have certificates.
or domiciled merchants. Chinese com
ing as heretofore enumerated must
have certificates with a photograph at
tached. The secretary of the treasury
is to ask the Chinese government for
the list of names of all officials other
than diplomatic and consular officers
who desire to visit the United States.
Several sections are devoted to pro
viding how Chinese laborers shall be
registered and provided with certifi
cates when returning to this country.
Certificates for any Chinese laborers
are not good after such laborer has
been absent two years. Domiciled
merchants are compelled to file annu
ally a full and complete report of the
nature and character of their business,
to better identify them. No Chinese,
except diplomatic or consular offi
cers, are allowed to enter the United
States at any other ports than San
Francisco, Port Townsend, Wash.;
Portland, Or.; Boston, New York, New
Orleans, Honolulu, San Juan and Ma
nila, or such other ports as the secre
tary of the treasury may designate.
Ports may be designated on the Cana
dian or Mexican boundary after con
tracts have been made with the trans
portation companies to comply with
the act.
COMPENSATION FOR SAMOANS.
They Receive $4,200 From the United States
for Guns Delivered Up Last Year.
Tutuila, Samoa, Dec. 26, via San
Francisco, Jan. 8. The government
has paid out $4200 as compensation for
guns delivered up by the natives this
year. At a recent district meeting
of the natives, a resolution was passed
asking the commandant to increase
the native tax. The resaon attributed
was that the taxes should Increase in
proportion to the prosperity of the
place under American rule.
Following the example set by Chief
Leiato in road-mjaking, other tribes
have started to improve the roads In
their towns. In Pago Pago especially,
after waiting for the government to
act, the chiefs have taken the matter
up themselves, and are now forming
a road around the bay. Their difficulty
commences when they have cut
through land owned by whites, who
make objections, and place obstacles
in the way of road-making.
An epidemic of influenza has been
passing over the islands, and many
deaths have occurred.
The Mormons of Tutuila gave an ex
hibition of the work of their Samoan
pupils attending the schools, last night
at Pago Pago. Governor Sabree at
tended, and at the close of the per
formance was presented with a walk
ing cane made out of a piece of wood
from the ill-fated Trenton.
Anarchist Plots in Spain.
Madrid, Jan. 8. The police have
discovered traces of anarchist plots
in the towns of Jerez de la Frontera,
Alcada de los Gasules and Archos de
la Frontera, In the Province of Cadiz.
Forty-nine arrests were made.
Pardon for Prisoners.
Washington, Jan. 8. On recommen
dation of the Cuban secretary of jus
tice. Governor General Wood has
granted full pardons to twenty-seven
prisoners confined in the jails of the
islands. He also has granted partial
pardons to Manuel Lorenzo Forcatle
and Enrique Cagigas Junco, Impris
oned for the crime of falsifying official
documents. The Audiencia, of Ha
vana, on July 20, 1901, sentenced them
to imprisonment for fourteen yearb.
eight months and one day. This has
now been commuted to "absolute per
petual disqualification" and Imprison
ment during three months.
Judge Ide Succumbs to Hard Work.
Washington, Jan. 8 Secretary Root
has been Informed that Judge Ide, of
the Philippine commission. Is ill from
an attack of dysentery, and has gone
to Japan to recuperate. He Is the sec
ond member of the commission to
succumb to hard work under trying
climatic conditions. Judge Taft, civil
governor of the Philippines, Is now on
his way home on the transport Grant,
for the benefit og his health, and also
to confer with the president and the
secretary of war.
Big Salvage Award. .
Tacoma, Jan. 8. In the federal
court today Judge Hanford awarded to
the three tugs and the Tacoma Tug
Company and the steamer Matteawan
about $25,000 for saving the German
ship Flottbek sixteen miles south of
Cane Flattery In January. 1901. The
court remarked on the personal brav
ery of the crew, and awarded to each
man from $300 to $500. The Flottbek
was recently wrecked on the Atlantic
coast, and many of the crew of the
Matteawan were lort with her In the
atorm of December 2.
SAME OLD DOWAGER EMPRESS
She Has Not Profited by Her Experiences of
the Past Year.
Pekin, Jan. 4. Several recent oc
currences tend to discourage the hope
that the dowager empress has learned
a lesson of reform from the events of
the past year. Foreigners are dis
posed to take a pessimistic view of
the outlook. General Yung Lu's deter
mination to organize two anti-foreign
army corps to offset the commanua
of pro-foreign Chinese leaders is par
ticularly disquieting, and an evidence
of the continued domination of his In
fluence, which is bitterly anti-foreign.
Other incidents considered significant
are the suppression of the only lnde
pendent newspaper in this city by ol
der of the governor of Pekin, and the
closing of the industrial school here
recently organized by philanthropic
Chinese. The school was intended tor
the training of destitute youths. Other
liberal Chinese will hesitate now to
give practical vent to their theories,
fearing the displeasure of officialdom,
The edict regarding the recent mur
der of a Belgian priest near Ning Sha
Foo, in Kan Soo province, has ap
peared. It appoints a special official
to punish those guilty of the crime
and reaffirms the dowager empress
good will toward Christians. There is
unusual activity upon the part of the
court in the punishment of those
guilty of au anti-Christian outrage,
and is taken as evidence of the dow
ager empress' desire to conciliate the
powers upon the eve of the return of
the court to Pekin.
Proofs accumulate that Prince
Ching's arguments persuaded the dow
ager empress to trust herself within
range of the legation forts. Officials
arriving here describe the dowager
empress and General Yung Lu bb be
ing extremely nervous and suspicious
lest tne foreigners are planning to
entrap them after their arrival, and
punish them for encouraging Uoxer
ism. The foreigners will probably re
view the court's re-entry into Pekin
from the wall near the legations. The
Chinese officials have been sounded
by the ministers as to whether they
will enforce the old custom of restrain
ing foreigners from witnessing im
perial processions. The replies are
not encouraging. The treaty gives the
legations a strip of wall commanding
a view of the gates of the Imperial
city, and the .members of the foreign
community are planning to assemble
thereon. It will be a great innova
tion. PROSPEROUS PORTO RICO.
Governor Hunt's Message to the Legislature
Necessity for Change in Laws.
San Juan, Porto Rico, Jan. 4. Gov
ernor Hunt's message to the legisla
ture of Porto Rico was delivered at
11 o'clock this morning before a joint
session of that body held in the Thea
ter San Juan. The building was crowd
ed. The message says:
Tranquility and contentment pre
vail in Porto Rico; schools have multi
plied; railroads are being constructed;
the commerce of the island has been
developed and exports have Increased,
agriculture has become more profit
able, roads are being built and debts
are being paid. Tolerance oi opln-
on has become more common, former
antagonism being forgotten."
Governor Hunt's report said further
that 885 schools are open throughout
the island, 934 teachers are employed
in them, and 15,000 children attend
them. The insular revenues have in
creased the available balance by $12S,
000 over the balance of July, 1901,
and the total balance today, including
tariff rebates, etc., amounts to $2,
000,000. Governor Hunt recommends
the revision of the municipal laws and
the adoption of modern city charters.
Concerning the case of Santiago
Inglesias (the representative of the
American Federation of Labor, who
was sentenced here December 11 to
three years and four months' Impris
onment on a charge of conspiracy),
the Governor referred to the ambigu
ities of existing law, and said that the
remedy therefor is in the hands of
the legislature.
There is no room for lawlessness
In Porto Rico," said Governor Hunt,
'but it is perfectly lawful to organize
to secure better wages by peaceable
measures. The ambition to better
one's condition is intensely American,
and where the purpose of organiza
tion is merely to Increase the profits
of labor, or to dignify its worth
through peaceable means, a law bus
ceptible to a construction forbidding
the execution of such a purpose Is un
worthy the American Government,
and should be wiped out."

General Wheaton's report from the
Island of Samar Indicates thai little
has been accomplished there. The at

LINEK GOES DOWN
WALLA WALLA SUNK OFF CAPE
MENDOCINO.
Many Lives Lost Unknown Bark Strikes
Her and Disappears -Stories of Surviv
orsVessel Remains Afloat But 35 Min
nutcs After Collision Good Work in
Life-Saving by Vessel's Crew.'
San Francisco, Jan. 4. A collision
at sea Thursday morning between the
steamship Walla Walla and an un
known sailing vessel resulted In tho
sinking of- the steamship and the
probable loss of at least twenty lives.
The Walla Walla, owned by the Pa
cific Coast Steamship Company, sailed
from San Francisco January 1 for
Puget Sound ports. She carried thirty-six
first-class passengers, twenty
eight Becond-clasa and a crew ot
eighty men. When off Cape Mendo
cino, on the California coast, at 4:10
Thursday morning, an iron bark, be
lieved to be French, loomed up ii
the haze and crashed Into the Walla
Wallas bow. Then the sailing vessel
slid off into the darkness and waa
seen no more. All the passengers
and crew of the Walla Walla, except
the few on watch, were asleep, but
were roused by the crash. The steer
age quarters were in the bow, and it
believed that some of the steerage
passengers and crew were crushed to
death.
A big hole was made in the steam
er's bow, and she sank in thirty-five
minutes. The officers and crew main
tained strict discipline, and boats and
life rafts were lowered. All who wero
not killed In the collision got off, ex
cept Hall, who went -down with his
ship. He was picked up later by one
of the boats, uninjured, with the ex
ception of a few bruises. There was
a choppy sea running, and the small
boats could not make a landlne on tho
shore a few miles distant. They drift
ed about all day, and finally sixty
five people were picked up by the
steamer Despatch, which took them
to Eureka. Another boat, under com
mand of Engineer Brown, containing
thirteen people, attempted to land at
Trinidad and was swamped and six
men were drowned.
When the Despatch reached Eureka
with the survivors, the tues were im
mediately sent out for the missing
boats. The tug Ranger picked up one
containing eleven passengers and
three of the crew.
PROTOCOL WITH NICARAGUA.
Some of
the Terms of that Important
Instrument.
Washington, Jan. 6. Some of the
main features of the protocol between
the United States and Nicaragua, re
ferred to in President Zelaya's mes
sage to congress, have been made
known In dispatches from Managua.
But there are many other important
features which have not been dis
closed, one of theBe being the com
plete American jurisdiction and the
establishment of American courts,
civil and criminal, throughout a zone
six miles wide, extending from ocean
to ocean, and including the proposed
canal termini, Greytown, on the At
lantic, and Brito, on the Pacific. Tho
entire policing of this large tract also
is placed In the hands of the United ,
States, so that It has the power to
preserve order, and after that to Issue
judicial process extending throughout
the zone.
Besides the authority of American
courts and of the American police in
the six-mile zone, the chief features
of the protocol are in giving a lease
in perpetuity of this tract to the Unit
ed States, and at the same time giv
ing an American guarantee that the
ndependence, sovereignty and integ
rity of Nicaragua shall not be dis
turbed by the rights thus conferred
upon the United States. No exact
Information is obtainable as to the
price specified in the protocol as pay
ment to Nicaragua for the grant to
this country. It can be stated posi
tively, however, that this price Is
much less than was expected when
the negotiations began, and that it is
considered by officials as satisfactory.
it is understood that at the outset
the view In Nicaragua was that $20,
000,000 would be paid for the grant
to this country, and that $5.000i000
would be paid for Costa Rica's grant.
While there is no information as to
the final sum In the protocol, It Is
known to be far short of the above
figures. It takes the form of a per
petual lease, and It Is probable that
the protocol includes the feature of
an annual rent as part payment. A
protocol with Costa Rica, identical in
form with that with Nicaragua, ex
cept In the matters, of price and ter
ritory leased, has been in course of
negotiation, and it is understood that
satisfactory conclusion will be
reached with that government.

venea in this city for the Duroose of
bearing testimony in the case of Ma
jor Peter R. Egan, post surgeon at
Fort Douglas, charged with neglect of
duty in failing to give proper treat
ment to soldiers under his charge, has
just become known. It completely
exonerates the major of all tte
charges against him. The verdict,
however, is disapproved by Colonel
Sanno, commanding the department of
Colorado, who administers a severe
reprimand to Major Egan. Major
Egan, It Is said, will make an appeal.
Fight With Escaped Convicts.
Casper, Wyo., Jan. 6. In a fight
with four escaped prisoners today.
Sheriff W. C. Ricker was shot and
killed. The outlaws are Clarence and
Charles Woodward, David Foote and
C. B. Franklin. They -escaped the
night of December 31. and Sheriff
Ricker followed them, to a point sev
enty-five miles west of Casper, where
they were in ambush. They fired on
the Sheriff's party and Ricker re
ceived a shot In the breast. The
posse has continued the chase
Notified by Germany.
Berlin, Jan. 6. It has been unoffi
cially announced here that the Ger
man charge d'affaires at Caracas has
handed President Castro a note m
which the German claims against
Venezuela, are clearly defined, and in
which a limit of time Is set for Presi
dent Castro's answer thereto. At the
same time, this unofficial lEnounre
ment carefully points out that tho
handing of the note in question to the
Venezuelan president cannot be con
sidered an ultimatum from Germany,
since the note does not contain any
reference to Germany's future action
with regard to Venezuela.
