MANILA, Sept. It ? The Philippine
National Assembly was Inaugurated
at Malolos yesterday with great enthusiasm.
There were thousands of visitors
from the provinces and a great display
was made. Agulnuldo, ut 9 o'clock
In the morning, entered the hall of the
convent recently occupied by the Spanish
local government.
It Is un extremely plain room, adorned
only with some religious .pictures.
The Insurgent leader was in evening
dross, according to the Spanish custom.
Thn others wore ordinary costumes.
Agulnaldo. who was received with
cheers and also with cries of "viva
America," by the large crowd of natives
Inside and outside the hall, read a decree
convening the members, which included
several Spaniards. He next read
a message eulogizing the army and
thanking the friendly nations which
had set the historical example of liberty
awl had assisted a down-trodden race.
Continuing, Agulnaldo urgently and
eloquently exhorted the assembly to fol
I'JIV Hie nwuirai J/i lin_ij<n:n, nuu
p'l the "spirit* of the martyred Filipino.*."
The assembly then adjourned for
the day.
A .Spanish delegate suggested that
bufllntsM bo resumed In th?? afternoon,
but n Filipino objected and accum-d the
Spaniard of attempting to undermine
tho ronstltutlon. To this the Spaniard
replied that h?? wan n sincere Republican
nnd that hi* only desire was the
^rlfare of the country. Thereupon the
Filipino npofoglzed and the proceedings
terminated. '

cimprnmlno himself with the native*.
IIo *aId that a majority of the Filipinos
had been struKsllnR for freedom for

Aitnlnaldo professed entire Ignorance
of the autonomous systems in vofrue in

GEN. I1ASKHL DROPS DEAD.
Want Through the Santiago Campaign,

Apoplexy.
COLUMBUS, O., Sept 16?Brigadier
General Joseph T. Haskell, died suddenly
at his home at the Columbus Post
about 4:30 this. afternoon. He ?u
stricken with apoplexy, the excitement
through which he patted during the day
being the immediate cause of the attack.
General Haskell commanded the Seventeenth
Infantry at tbe battle of El
Caney and wa4 twice wounded in the
.left shoulder and knee. He aame home
about a month ago and was rapidly recovering,
the wound in his shoulder,
however, had paralyzed his left arm,
which he carried in a sling.
This morning the Seventeenth regiment
returned home and General Haskell
went to the depot in a carriage to
welcome his gallant men. He rod# at
the head of the regiment through the
city to the post and the cheers of the Immense
crowds of people that lined the
fltreets were directed almost as much to
him individually as to the regiment. At
the reviewing stand the crowd sur
?ol flntrnr# trarp
rounucu me will i i?oc " ?
fairly showered Into the vehicle from
every aide.
Although not as strong as formerly.
General Haskell appeared rugged and
his sudden death was a terrible shock
to his family and friends. At 4:80 this
afternoon Captain Clay called at General
Haskell's residence to pay his respects.
The general was resting at the
time but rame down stairs. They had
been engaged in conversation about five
minutes when General Haskell suddenly
started to his feet, clasping his hands
to his head, then fell to the floor. The
only exclamation he made waa Ohl Oh I
Captain Clay sprang to his assistance
and was surprised to And that nia puwe
had ceased to beat. Post Surgeon Pllcher
was summoned and stated that
death was caused by apoplexy. Mrs.
Haskell was prostrated by her hus?
band's death. Besides the widow, two
sons survive.
G*n?rfcl Hnakell'a Career.
General Haskell was bdrn at Clnclnnatl,
Ohio, November 19, 1838. He was
appointed a captain of commissary- subsistence
in 1863 and served throughout
the war. For gallantry he was breveted
major, lieutenant colonel and colonel
He became captain In the Twenty-third
Infantry July 28, 1886, and was promoted
to major of the Tiyenty-fourth on Jun?
28, 1872. He became lieutenant colonel
of the Seventeenth U S. I., on August
27. 1896.
When Colonel Poland was appointed
brigadier general at the outbreak of the
war. General Haskell, as lieutenant colonel,
assumed command of the Seventeenth
V. S. Infantry and led that regiment
In the battle of El Caney, In which
he distinguished himself by his bravery.
He led the regiment through the succession
ot barbed wire fences that sur
- I-J tUa. ktnflV hnti?M HI Pml?t
until 'fii? was shot. First a bullet struct
his right shoe, gracing his heel. He
"laughingly remarked to a lieutenant
that he had been shot In the heel. Th?
remark was no sooner uttered than h<
was shot in the left shoulder. In another
lnetant he received a bullet In hif
knee. General Haskell lay the remainder
of the day on the firing line, such
attention being given to his wounds ai
the Improvised hospital service provided.
The survivors of the Seventeenth
praised the bravery of their commandei
In the highest terms. More than one
declared that if he had not been wounded
the regiment would "have followed
him to the last man. He kept ahead oi
the regiment and maintained hie sell
possession under a withering fire. Th(
Spaniards had the range perfectly Ir
each line of barbed wire fence and th<
lines of the regiment were thinned ai
each obstruction. It was not until General
Haskell fell wounded that, their ad
vance was temporarily checked. Foi
his bravery at K1 Caney, Colonel Has
kell was recently promoted to brigadlei
general.

about 700 people besieged the house o:

barefooted nnd nearly naked, they became
infuriated and surrounded Oenerul

and stoning the building.
Eventually the Spanish general sue

WASHINGTON', S?pL It.?Tha milltary
movement? are being directed rap- in
idly towards the assembling of a large Hi
army In southern stations for winter *r
cam pa and preparatory to the military
occupation of Cuba and Porto Rico. u
About 70,000 troopa are now located in
the south and orders will be issued
sending the First, Second, Sixth, Ninth, n(
and Tenth cavalry from HoaUuk to n
southern etatlona. The Third cavalry 8(
has already gone south and the First j,j
and Second Infantry were yesterday af- tc
ternoon ordered to Anniston and the fC
?nd sixteenth to Huntsvllle. w
This leaves the Seventh. Twenty-fourth tli
and Twenty-fifth Infantry, the Second
volunteer engineers and Companlea G.
H, Fourth artillery at Montauk. With- ta
In a day or two these last remaining ^
troops will be ordered south and Camp t(!
Wikoft will be no more. si
The purpose is to establish winter
camps between the thirty-first and tblr- J
ty-flfth parallels. The major part of
the army thus aaembled is destined for
i service in Cuba, with a much smaller
force for Porto Rico and a reserve in the Q
winter camps. It is not intended, how- p
| ever, to send the army of occupation to Jjj
Cuba until after the unhealthy season
has passed, and meanwhile the troops
will be put In the best possible contVi- d
I tlon. P
ai
On account of the desire of the war de- ~
partment that no chances shall be taken ?|
In the way of exposure of the troops to hi
i the dangers of the unhealthy season, no ^
Impatience Is felt on account of the eJ
: rather slow progress of the work of the si
1 commission of evacuation at Havana, di
[ Great satisfaction Is expressed at the ^
I progress being made In Porto Rlco and fr
> the evacuation is expected to occur e<
' speedily; but In connection with the occupation
6f Porto Rlco the same an[
xlety as to the health of the srmy Is not rf
felt, nor are there similar difficulties In ln
' connection with establishing the govern- A
. ment, Porto Rlco becoming at once a fr
i part of the territory of the United
States. J
Tn assembling and organising the h,
army for the occupation of Cuba the D
consideration or possioie irouoie wan ?
the organized Insurgents is not being Jj(
taken into serious account. The Hava- it
na dispatches stating that there has de- Y
veloped a strong sentiment In favor of
Independence and opposition to annexa- t1
Hon, coupled with hostility towards the le
United Stales is read with rather an air jj
of amusement by officials of the admin- p
istration who suggest that it Is absurd
to give as a reason for hostility on the
part of Cubans toward the United States
that the Cubans are in favor of entire in- 11
dependence. The purpose of the Cubans ?(
to establish a stable Independent form 1
of government is strictly in accordance g
with the terms of the President's proc- n
lamatton and therefore furnishes no rea- C
son for a feeling of Hostility^ *
All the Information in the possession n
of the war department, it is said, indl- b
cntra the most cordial relations and har
mony of purpose between the Cubans
and the representatives of thLn govern- s

of the Cuban republic:
To the Army of the Republic:
It is a pleasing duty -which the government

' which at the same time it deems as the |
' highest gift of fortune^ to announce to

^ struggle carried on in these heretofore

k all the world, between dignity and in>
justice.
There Is no need to say whose is the
victory. Cuban panoplied by a feeling
of honor and the defense of right was
in it*. woAlrnenii bv the magnitude

Cubans In existence, success cannot belong
to Spain.
"All the vigorous efforts of the nation

' from the moment of cry of February 24

* across the small sea which separates

' land. Moved by our convulsions, the
United States could not continue to live
the pleasant life which their prosperity
guaranteed them,and which other countries,
indifferent to our misfortunes.
1 have continued to live. The United
i States gave in their cities hospitality to
j our people, in their manufactories our
. rifles were made;from their shoers came
r numerous expeditions; their press with
I Immense and constant clamor, called for

s "American diplomacy drove the Infar
moua tVeyler out and terminated the
criminal policy of concentration; the
I United States hove continued their
. great work of humanity and Justice,
. sacrificing their own peace, offering
. their own treasure and giving their own
noble blood, constituting itself the executioner
df their verdict by which the
' empire of Spain Is forever extinguished
In the Antilles, and Cuba becomes sovereign
In the enjoyment of her Indes

and heroism; it has shown a perseverance
equal to its bravery.
