BIS INFLUENCE IS DESTROYED One Bailie With the Americans Has Been Sufficient to Show Him That Warfare Would Be Disas trous' Otis Will Dictate the Conditions Under Which He May Surrender His Forces. Washington, Feb .8. There was an almost complete release today of the tension under which, the rapid oc currence of events in the Philippines have held the officials of the adminis tration since the first startling news from Manila on Saturday nig'ht. This was brought about through the .receipt of a 'bulletin from General Otis sum ming up the latest results of the fight ing he has had with 'the natives. The statement that Aguinaldo's in fluence has been destroyed and that the Filipino leader was seeking for a cessation of hostilities and for a con ference was most acceptable and was interpreted as an admission that lie 'had realized his terrible mistake. It is entirely improbable that he will be able to obtain anything like the same terms as were possible last week. No one knows just what General Otis intends to impose in the -way of terms. Secretary Alger this afternocu re peated his statement of yesterday that he had given the general no instruc tions since the battle and sa'w no reason for giving any. He realized, he said, that General Otis being on the ground and having proved his fitness, was in better position to deal with the situation Chan any one in Washington. Should the general ask permission, therefore, to do anything he would be granted permission immediately. "Should he ask for instructions- on any point," said Secretary Alger, "he will be told to exercise his own dis cretion." In this view cf the case, it will be seen that no cne here can at present tell how General Otis is deal ing toward Aguinaldo's application. But the opinion expressed by men here who know General Otis' experience with the Indians is tha't ihe will make the laying down of arms a conditio of dealing -'with the insurgents at all. and if that condition is met of course it will mean a speedy termination of the rebellion. DEPLORES HOSTILITIES NOW. Aguinaldo's Representative Thinks They Secured Ratification of Treaty. London, Feb. 8. The Filipino junta here has received a cablegram from Agoncillo, the' agent of Aguinaldo, dated Montreal, Feb. 7: "The deplor able hostilities have had the effect of securing 'the ratification of the peace treaty." Agoncillo also says he be lieves the outbreak was provoked by the Americans in order to insure a ratification of the treaty. AGONCILLO ADMITS IT. Montreal, Feb. 8. Jana Luna and an unknown Filipino arrived here to day. iLuna said that he had simply come to visit Agoncillo. Agoncillo was asked about his cablegram to the junta in London. He admitted that he had sent such a telegram and intimated that they were in a position to prove that General Otis had been ordered to 'bring on a conflict so as to force the peace treaty tihroug'h the senate. He said he was being kept ip:c:ty well posted on whatever was being done against his country. DISPLAYING THE WHITS FLAG. Washington, Feb. 8. The war de partment received th-j following dis patch today: "Manila, Feb. 8. "The situation is rapidly improving. A reconnoissance was made yesterday to the south several miles to Lagunza bay and to the southeast eight miles, driving the straggling insurgent troops in various directions, encountering no decided opposition. Their army is disintegrated and the natives are re turning to their villages displaying the white flag. (Signed) "OTIS." i MY, BUT HE TALKS BIG. Montreal. Feb. 8. Agoncillo said today that since war had been declared it would never be stopped until the Americans made overtures for peace. POULETT EARLDOM CLAIMANTS Viscount Hinton, the Lawyers Find Had Two Younger Brothe.s London, Feb. 8. The Globe says that the lawyers who have been searching the records relative to the claim of the so-called Viscount Hin ton, the son of Earl Poulett's first wire, to the title and estates of the late earl have discovered that this claimant had a brother three years younger' ttan himself named Frederic PouleLt. He was born at Portsea in 1852, and died at an unknown date. It is alr.o arxer tained that another son was born in 1854 and'died in 1S57. He was called Charles Blewitt Poulett. Thus, apparently, there are only two claimants to the peerage living, tho Viscount Hinton, whose paternity Earl Poulett repudiated, and who for many years supported himself as an organ grinder, and the son of the earl's last wife, who was always recognized by the earl as his rightful heir. : o: FILIBUSTERING IN THE HOUSE.

S The net re sult of the work during the two days alloted for consideration of public building bills in the house was a re port on a single bill providing f jr the erection of a building at Newport News at a cost of $75,090. Sixtjr-five bills in all carrying or authorizing the expenditure of about $12,000,000 were favorably considered in committee of the whole but when the committea rose today, because seventeen other bills reported favorably had not been acted upon in the committee filibuster ing was resorted to and all efforts to advance the bills, favorably acted upon in committee were blocked. DEPOSITORS ORGANIZE. San Jose, Cal., Feb. S. The meeting of. the depositors cf the Union Sav ings bank this morning was much more largely attended than that of yesterday. The report of the commit ter; recommended that a -permanent organization be effected to consist of a chairman, secretary, treasurer and finance committee.

Because they were ordered to bathe a mutiny broke out among the Third Kentucky volunteers, who have just landed at Matanzas, Cuba, while at ssa on the transport Minnewaska. The troubls occurred on January 20, but the news of it was not received until today. Colonel T. J. Smith issued the order and all the mea were called to quarters at 2 o'clock. The first company cho sen for the ordeal was A. A stiff breeze was blowing and when Captain Burchford crdered the men to strap in order that the water cculd be thrown upon them from a hose not a man moved. Members of company G. whose turn 'was to come next, cheered and said they would stand by them. Cap tain Burchford threatened to put his men in irons f.jr disobedience and was told by Private Bradley Wilson to go to a warmer climate. Instantly the captain ordered Wilson arrested, but none of the soldiers would arrest him. Finally it was thought toest to call out company G to undress for 'ts .washing, but only one man was willing to bathe. The men were then commanded to go to the hold. Hardly had they reached this place than they noticed prepara tions to turn (the hose :n them there. Immediately there was a stampede for the deck. Greatly exasperated, the captains reported the state of affairs to the colonel, who although usually very firm, took the matter very good natur edly and rescinded the oider. GREEN WILL APPEAR.

Consul Rose and a Former Officer in the German Army Conducted the fighting and Raiding of Ma -taafa's Followers. Ban Franri:;eo, Feb. 8. The stenmer Moana arrived from Samoa today bringing full details cf the recent out break at Apia to the Associated Press from its correspondent. He writes that while Chief Justice Chambers was hearing the claims of the rival candi dates for the kingship, the Mataafa natives, who were numerically strong er and were openly supported by the German officials and the entire Ger man population, 'began to talk of im mediate war in case the decision went against him, and the life of the chief justice was openly threatened by cne of the chiefs. The three consuls agreed to issue a proclamation putting the chief justice under the protection of the powers. For some reason the German consul broke his word and declined to do so. The British and American consuls thereupon issued a proclamation and hoisted their national flags over the residence of the chief justice. On De cember 31 the chief justice decided Ma taafa ineligible for election, and Malie toa Tanu, king. The German consul and the president declined to recognize Tanu and went over to Mataafa. In a few hours the rebel forces surrounded the residence of the chief justice, Uvhich was guarded by 200 loyal natives, and Captain Sturdy of H. M. 3. Porpoise landed twenty-five sailors under Lieu tenant Gaunt. The residence was barricaded and the men stood to arm?, all night, when the chief justice and his family iwere taken down to the beach. Fighting was expected to commence any moment and the British and American consuls did all they could to prevent hostilities; By midday on Sunday the rebel trccps completely hemmed in the royalists. Their- plans had been caiefuiiy laid and the rebels were headed by an ex-German officer, Von Bulow, who is at the present time in receipt of a pension from the Ger man government. Under his direction barricades were thrown up in the main streets cf the town. Vcn Bulow, and the German consul were in constant consultation and Ger man merchants supplied cartridges to the rebel?. The German consul rode at their head and Von Bulow was in actual command. The fighting was severe in the main streets. Darkness ended the fighting, and the rebels ther looted the town. On the following day a provisional government was estab lished by agreement of the consuls. CHAMBERS' DECISION. Based on the Eerlin Conference the Protocols Thereof. and 'tan ciated Samoa, Francisco, Feb. S. The Asso Press correspondent at Apia, has forwarded tire decision of Chief Justice Chambers awarding the kingship cf the Samoan islands to Malietoa Tanumafili, which decision caused the outbreak between the na tives. The decision rehearses the his tory of the appointment of Malietoa Laupepa, late king of Samoa, who died in 189S, and quotes that section cf the Berlin treaty which stated that his successor shall be duly elected accord ing to the laws and customs of Samoa. Justice Chambers' decision that Ma taafa is ineligible for the kingship was evidently due to the introduction of a copy cf the Berlin treaty, together with the .protocols of the nine sessions of the Berlin conference. AT A STANDSTILL. San Francisco, Feb. 8. Dr. Kramer, prominently connected with the Ger man legation in 'Samoa, arrived on the steamer Mcana today and it is believed that Ife brings important advices for his governmeut regarding the situa tion in Samoa.

Y., Feb. 8. An as sociation cf New York men will soon control the retail supply of milk in New York city. The association is in reality the milk triibt. It has signed a contract with representatives cf the five state milk association to take 15, 000 cans of milk a day as soon as it can be furnished, the pries to bo raid 2 cents a quart in cummer, and l:?i cents in winter. The association binds themselves to observe the contract and to sell no milk elsewhere. The trust furnishes bonds to the amount of a two months' milk bill to keep its part of the con tract. The present plan is a radical de parture from all previous efforts to control milk prices in New York, and it is believed it is to be successful. The farmers bind themselves not to in crease the amount produced more than 25 per cent of that named in the contract CIVIL SERVICE APPOINTMENTS Washington, Feb. 8. (Special.) Miller II.

General Miles was before the senate sub committee on military affairs today which had the army reorganization bill1 under considera tion. He suggested that in view of the probability thai the reorganization bill could not get through this session, that a temporary substitute should be pro vided for the maintenance of the army on its present 'basis until ths next ses sion of congress. AN OBJECT LESSON. Proposition of Akrcn, O., Liquor Deal ers to Close For Two Yeais. Akron, O., Feb. S. Local liquor dealers affiliated with the National Liquor League tell the story of a strange movement on 1 lie part of that organization. It is no more or less than the closing of every saloon in Akron for a period of two years. This is the result of the agitation against the saloons, which has been going on for several weeks, and the liquor men say that they intend to show what effect it would have cn the revenues of a city should the saloons be closed and the state tax cut off. They assort that the National Liquor League is amply able to do this for the salutary lesson it would have on other cities. -o: ESTERHAZY AND PATY DE CLAM Had a Lively Tilt When Brought To gether Eeaurepaire's Charges. Paris, Feb. S. The Echo de Paris says ex-Major Esterhazy cn Jan. 21 was brought face to face with ex-Lisut.

He further assoits that the court communicated with Col. Picquart prior to its examination of the secret depositions of the generals. WOMAN SLAYS PURSUER Resists Attack in Street and Shoots Assailant Three Times. Sistersville, W. Va., Feb. 8. Harry Deffinbaugh was shot and instantly killed this morning by Miss Ella Bowen, the owner of a laundry.

WHAT THE SENATE DID. Washington, Feb. 8. The senats confined itself largely to transacting routine business today. The Ind an appropriation bill which has been pending for several weeks was com- .i 1 HOPEFUL FOR QUAY Developments at Harrisburg Said to Favor Him. Democrats in Caucus Refuse to Bind Themselves to Oppose the Mc Carrell Jury Bill Break in Dead lock Expected Soon. Ilarrifiburg. F'a., Feb. S. Senator Quay's lieutenants have just won two important victories. They defeated an attempt by the anti-Quay leadeis to bind the democrats of the house to oppose the McCarrell Jury bill through a party caucus called hastily and they got the house judiciary general com mittee by a vote of 14 to 9, to report the McCarrell bill to the house. These are steps that indicate that the claims of the Quay leaders are based on sub stantial grounds. They have asrertad most positively since the beginning of the fight that in due time Senatrr Quay would be re-elected. Col. James M. Guffey, member cf the democratic national committee and leader of his party in this state, went to New York last night under tb.3 im pression that he had lined up the deai ocrats in the house for a stout light against the McCarrell bill, abolishing the ancient law giving district at torneys the right to stand aside jurors. But when a house caucus was called this afternoon it developed that quite a bunch of the minority are go ing to vote for the bill. Representative William Creasy of Columbia offered a resolution provid ing that the democrats should voie for the postponment of the bill until March 21, the purpose being to delay consideration until after the Quay trial. This resolution was vigorously resisted on the ground that the party caucus had no right to bind members upon any matter of legislation. There is a general anticipation to night of a change in the situation next week, which may mean the re election of Senator Quay, or the agree ment of the leaders upon Senator Magee or another candidate acceptable to Quay and Magee. I he course of Chairman M. Garrnan has net pleassd some of his democratic brethren. To night Senators Washburn, Lea, Kam erer, Wentz, Cochran, Neely, Miller, Oscar and Miller Williams issued tae following statement: "We sincerely regret and deplore the action of the democratic state chair man, John M. Garman, in his work tiDon the floor of the senate of Penn sylvania in behalf of the McCarrell bill, and further declare that his ac tion, in our opinion, was in direct op position to the best interests cf the. democratic party." :o- MILES' ACTION CONDEMNED. St. Joseph Exchange Indorses National Body Resolutions. St. Joseph, Mo., Feb. 8. A mesting of the St. Joseph live stock exchange was held late this afternoon for the purpose of taking action on the resolu tion adopted last week, by the execu tive committee of the national live stock exchange at its meeting in Chi cago, condemning the action of Gen eral Nelson A. Miles in making serious charges against the packing industry of the United States.

Yesterday's advices from Samoa by way of Aurkland re porting further fighting tetwesn the adherents of Malietoa Tanus and King Mataafa and the new troubles with the British and American representa tives on the one hand and the Ger man representatives on the . other were received with perfect calmness in official quarters, where it is believed that the trouble is purely local and largely due to personal jealousies. It is the general opinion here that Herr Rose, the German consul at Apia. was perfectly justified in liberating Grossmuhl, the German who was sen tenced to a fine and imprisonment by Chief Justice Chambers, for breaking windows in the supreme court build ing, his nationality bringing him under the jurisdiction of Herr Rose. It is held that Justice N Chambers was nr-t warranted in punishing him. SHOOTING IN A STREET CAR. Provocation Was Refusal to Make Way For a Woman.

MINE TAX BILL LAID TO REST Council Spends Greater Part of the Day in Playing Horse Goldwater Introduces a Bill Providing for a New Legislative Apportion mentMeasure to Fix the Term of the Governor's Appointees. . Genuine business began in the house yesterday, and as one consequence Mr. Sanders, of Yavapai county) is shiver ing in a cold wave that did! not origi nate in Colorado. A well organized enemy, 13 strong, and from Mr. San ders' own camp, held him up and strip ped him to the skin of all his legisla tive ornaments. Mr. Sanders is angry and with good cause, for he was given no quarter. His two bills, creating a mine inspec tor, and making eight hours, a clay for mine laborers, were taken out cf Mr. Sanders' mines committee, where they have been six days, and consideration of them indefinitely postponed. Mr. Parr's bill, taxing the net proceeds of mines, was treated in the same man ner, by the same combination. Air. Sanders struggled, but to no avail. His bills had not been printed, but the caval, led by Williams, Adams and Doan, brought them out of their shells and swallowed them. Sanders raised the point that the rules must be sus pended before the bills could be taken out of committee within 10 days after reference. The chair ruled against him and the majority of 13 brougat the measures before the houe. San ders went so far as to move to adjourn without day, and the motion was lost by a small margin. , Mr. Parr did not resist the ea.ly death of his measure. It is understood he has traded it off for somethine more practical and nearer his hearc Mr. Sanders dees not despair, but pro phesies that his bills will be revived and introduced in the council. The "boleta" or "scrip" bill passed the house, although the strength of th3 vote cast for it is convinced that it is unconstitutional and that the gov ernor .will veto it. , There seems to be nothing in this measure, that has been thrashed over in every state la the union, except political buncombe. Its friends here hope to make political capital out of it in case it goes through, the council and into the hands of the governor. The house, in committee of the whole, considered the bill lejal zing the practice of osteopathy. - A prac titioner of- the science was given 15 minutes to explain it, and after he had reiterated its history, the com mittee reported the bill favorably, and it was passed. , The bill creating Papago county was reported favorably and will be con sidered in whole committee today. The bill to furaish school books frae to all pupils was favorably considered by the whole committee. A bill was introduced to repaal the funding law. Both bodies adjourned before 3:30 o'clock, and listened to an address in the house chamber on wo man's rights, by Mrs. Catt. The council the house of lords of the Twentieth Arizona assembly should have its rattle and woolly horse taken away from it. and after being well spanked it should be put to b2d with the light out. For days the nur sery has been in disorder. The child ren are not sick, but they are possessed with an exuberance of spirit that amounts almost to hysteria. They re fuse to study their picture books or recite their rhymes, and so extraor dinary is their conduct that the day nurses, Tripple and Maclay, are com pelled to stay up nights, mending the linen of the record. Their decorum was examplary early in this school term, but in the past few days they have been beyond control. Mother Arizona is unable to determine which child is most to blame. The Udall boy, from Apache county, ii the only one who seems to have had any bringing up. Little Austin Wright is continually whispering, and never knows his lessons, and is always ask ing "Why?" and ''What for?" Jimmie Finley is a source- of constant annoy ance, but young Morris Gcldwatsr, quiet and demure s he appsara, is the most mlschevous child in the family. The conduct of Dottie Carpenter is scandalous. She says and does the most unusual things for a child of her age. There is certainly something wrong with Dottie. The flush in her dimpled cheeks for the past few days indicates fever in her blood; she moans in her sleep, and her symptoms indicate the necessity cf the doctor be ing called. The Bunch child is eo large that when he plays he hurts all the other children. Even Miss Mur phy, who has always won the glazed picture card for good behavior, jumps up from her desk and says things that (Concluded on Eighth Page.) I .i.in.m.n I ii nil j y
