in any future operations he may plan
but as already stated i is believed
this particular crisis will have passed
before they can be transported the
great distance ian the United States
to Manila ThtSfc troops with thoeo
now in ba represent the cream of the
American army according to General
Corpln I Is true that only about 3000
o General Otis soldiers are regulars
but his volunteer soldiers have been un
der thorough discipline and training for
months some as much as eight months
and many participated in the engage
ments attending thi capture of Manila
and a practicollyas good as the reg
ulars
STRENGTH OF INSURGENTS
No one here knows tho real strength
of the insurgents opposed to General
Otis The accounts of their number are
conlllcting and none of thorn comes
from reliable sources Still the best be
lief of the authorities at the war depart
e te
ment is that they number about 30000
men but they are not comparable to
the American forces in personnel disci
pline or quality of arms I is known
that they have some Mausers some
Remingtons and a variety of other fire
arms and It Is suspected they have
been quite plentifully supplied with
ammunition from outside sources
Taken as a whole this armament is de
idedly inferior to that of the American
troops Then with inexperienced of
ficers in many cases even the colonels
of regiments being not more than 21
> ears o age and their lack of knowl
edge of tactics they are at a great dis
advantage Their strong point is their
knowledge of the country and a certain
fanatical bravery in onslaught that
would be formidable to a volunteer
for e not well trained to stand fire
Like the Cubans they rely too much
on 1 swordlike weapon corresponding
to the machete a weapon of little value
against longrange rIle Altogether
th war department officials have not
the < = I ghtest doubt of General Otis abil
ity to hold hispnsitlon Indefinitely and
the only cause for apprehension is the
lear hat by taking to the interior of
the rountry practically impassible for
Anrvlean troops In the approaching
rainy season a prolonged Indianfight
ing style of campaign may follow
DEWEYS FLEET
Besides his soldiers General Otis has
at his back In Manila bay command
ing the city a veritable Rock of Gibral
tar in Deweys fleet With the vessels
he now has and those about to join him
Dewejy will have twentyone ships of
various types Of fullfledged warships
lIe has nine as follows The flagship
Olympia Boston Baltimore Charles
ton Concord Monadnock Monterey
Petrel and Buffalo He has also three
armed supply ships which are just as
effective a a warship almost in attacking
tacking troops outside of fortifications
and in maintaining the blockade They
are the Culgoa the Nanshan and the
Zafiro The vessels on the way to join
Dewey are the gunboat Helena now at
Colombo the Costine at Gibraltar the
Princeton due at Port Said Tuesday
the Bennington the Brutus and York
Town probably at Guam on their way
to Manila the battleship Oregon and
the water boat IriE at Honolulu
The Solace Is about to start
lce any mo
ment from Norfolk for Manila This
leaves out of account the army trans
ports under Otis command which
could be made of great service
The fleet cannot operate against
troops in the Interior but undoubtedly
Dewey will immediately draw a tight
cordon of blockading vessels around the
isalnd of Luzon and make a special
effort absolutely I to cut of the insur
gents from the supplies and ammuni
tion which they must have to carry on
the warAGONCILLO
AGONCILLO MUST GO
One ot the first steps of the admin
istration upon hearing of the out
brk at Manila was to give attention
to the presence In Washington of
Agoncillo the accredited representative
here of the Philippine insurgents They
would not say whether or not any steps
had been taken looking to his expul
ion from the United States or to his
arrest but his status i can be stated
has already been the subject of a care
ful strdy The officials have been
stldy ofclals been loth
to disturb him first because they did
not core to martyrize him unnecessar
ily and secondly I because they did
not care to expose themselves to the
criticism that they were interfering
improperly with the supply of infor
mation and arguments respecting the
Philippine question while the treaty
was pending before the senate I is =
possible however that their patience
pssible paterce
is now exhausted believing a they I
do that he has in some fashion been I
connected with this outbreak and that j
they may be aroused to the point of
action I was said at the state de
partment plainly that Agoncillo
goncio was
either a traitor or a spy I the Philip
pines are regarded as American terri
tory then he is the representative and
active agent of an insurrection against i
the United States and as such is a j j I
traitor It the Philippines are still in
nominal Spanish possession then a a
state of muustill technically exists he i
can b regardfiil only as a spy At the
very least his presence is highly oh i

t
Washington Feb Whatever may
be the result of the vote which is to be
taken In the senate tomorrow on the
ratification of the peace treaty with
Spain the subject of the relations of
this country to the Philippine islands
undoubtedly will be the uppermost
topic in the senate during the week
The hostile demonstration of the
I Filipino forces under Aguinaldo rend
ers this result inevitable This occur
I rence has had tne effect of intensify
ing the feeling In the senate which had
I grown out of the controversy over the
treaty and which was almost at fever
heat On this account it will be very
difficult for the senate to take up other
I subjects
For the present all interest centers
in the outcome of the vote on the
treaty This vote will morkthe close
ma
of one of the most memorable contests
I that ever occurred in the senate and
there is profound and widespread in
terest in the outcome The vote is set
for 3 oclock and the balloting will be
gin promptly at that hour
The first vote will be on amendments
Of these the only important one yet
offered is by Mr Vest placing the
Philippines on the same basis n Cuba
The vote will then be taken upon the
treaty itself
A favorable vote on the part of two
thirds of the members of the senate Is
necessary to secure ratification Hence
with a full membership of the senate
sixty votes will be necessary to secure
a favorable result There are now
seven senators absent from the city
Of these five namely Messrs Proctor
Stewart Cannon Wilson and Wetmore
are favorable to the treaty and Messrs
White and Turpie are opposed to it
Senator Stewart is expected to arrive
in time to cast his vote and If this ex
t pectation should be realized there will
be only six absentees and dlt would be
I very convenient to arrange for pairs
as two senators in the affirmative will
necessarily be paired against one in
the negative On this basis the total
vote of the senate would be eightyfive
and fiftysix would be necessary to
ratify The friends of the treaty are
counting very confidently on securing
these votes When the senate ad
journed Saturday they lacked only
two votes of having the necessary num
ber and the general opinion among the
advocates of the treaty is that the
hostilities in Manila will have the ef
fect of bringing a sufficient number to
brngng
insure a favorable result They say
there are half a dozen senators who
are not so completely committed
against the treaty as to prevent their
coming to the affirmative side
I The opponents of the treaty do not
concede their defeat but some of them
privately confess uneasiness over the
result as the effect of the Manila en
I gagement Every ballot as It is cat
will be scrutinized with the utmost in
terest and very close tab will be kept
by many senators on the progress of
the vote I it should become appar
ent that the treaty is to be defeated
some friend of It will cast his vote ill
the negative for the purpose of moving
a reconsideration and this motion for
a reconsideration will be made immpdl
ately after the negative result is
known Whether however the treaty
should be postponed for an extra ses
sion will depend upon subsequent de
velopments
The proceedings In connection with
the vote will be entirely in executive
session but if the unanimous agree
ment is observed the first two hours o
the days session will be open to the
public
I OUR ENEMIES SAYS LODGE
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts a
member of the committee on foreign
relations saidi
latons
On the proposition presented I am
1 i favor of standing by Dewey and
Otis as against Aguinaldo Our
status In the Philippines is that under
the protocol we are possession of
the city bay and harbor Manlla We
are acting under a truce with Spain
Those people aho have attacked the I
United States forces are in the eye of
international law still subjects df
interatoral stI subject tf
Spain and would be until the treaty
is ratified They have violated the
truce and are our public enemies and
should b treated a such It was
known a week ago that Agoncillo the
representative of Aguinaldo in Wash
ingto was ready to pack up and po
away giving up every thing but the I
gvin
action of thoe who have opposed the
treaty and the assurances ho has re I
ceived from stone onereauTe od in his
remaining and the encouragement I
which the Filipinos hayereceived from
the United States hasoio doubt led to
the attack upon the American forqes
Senator Gorman of Maryland who is
the lender and organizer of the opposi
tion t the treaty in the senate said
aa to the effect the conflict at Manila
a
would have upon the treaty
I will have no effect whatever
What has occurred is the rfcsult of what
has been predicted by the opponents
of the treaty alljhe time The oppon I
ents of the treaty said that trouble I
would come if we handled those people
without gloves and undertook to force I
ourselves upon the without their con
sent This battle can have no effect
upon the opponents of the treaty in anyway I I
wayPETTIGREW FIXES BLAME
Senator Pettigrew We could have no
possible difficulty with the people of the
Philippines if we had given to them the
honest assurance that we did not propose
pose to overthrow their nfl estb
llshed liberties Instead we made a
treaty with Spain by which the coun
try was ceded to us and we began at
once to occupy it with troops and send
reinforcements which wa sufficient to
cause alarm The dispatch of several
thousand more regulars lately of course
created much apprehension on the part
of the people of the Philippine republic
We should do now what we should have
done in the first place state to the peo I
ple of those Islands our good Intentions
and say to them Establish your repub
lic and wo will not allow other nations
to interfere Give us your bond to re
imburse us for our expense In securing
you your liberty we welcomE you to the
family of the republics of the world
The course of the administration on
the contrary has been one of criminal
aggression and apparent bad faith
There can be no question in the minds
of any one who has read the instruc
tions to the peace commissioners that
th presidents purpose always was to
make a permanent claim to the island
of Luzon To turn upon a ally in this
way is certainly the greatest interna
tional crime of the century I believe
the treaty should be amended at once
s as to give assurance to these people
O our g ge faith and thus Jake lljem
our friends even under these trying
circumstances We should even now
withdraw our military forces and allow
them to establish a military govern
ment of their own
Senator Pettigrenv said that in his
opinion the fighting would not delay a
vote on the treaty The opponents of
the treaty he said had counted thirty
three votes a opposed to ratification
but had lost one of them and he could
not say whether the latest news would
cause any other changes
ADMINISTRATION VIEW
Senator Elkins who has been very
active in favor of the treaty expressed
the opinion tonight that enough votes
would be found to ratify it This morn
ing he said he did not see where they
were to come from but he has had In
formation since Indicating that one or
two wavering senators would find in
the conllict which had occurred at Ma
nila an excuse to vote for the treaty
Senator Elkins said that the position of
Aguinaldo was perhaps logical with I
the treaty unratified as Spain had got
ten out and the United States did not
take possession so Aguinaldo says r
am here and will take possession The
senator added that the only thing to do
was to ratify the treaty S as to definitely
nitely fix the status of the Philippine
islands
Senator Hale one of the Republican
opponents of the treaty in the senate
could not be seen I
Senator Martin of Virginia who is
one of the opponents of the treaty
said The news from Manila will not
have any effect on the treaty No man
will change his mind on this account
It cannot affect the status in the senate
TELLER WOULD FIGHT THEM
I Senator Teller who has from the
first been a staunch supporter of the
treaty said Our army is in Manila
by right of conquest and under the
laws of war We are justified in main
taining our position there against all
who may attack us I have been un
easy in regard to the situation ever
since I saw that Aguinaldo had been
authorized by his socalled congress to
declare war upon the United States
There was never any danger of the
United States making an attack upon
the Filipinos but there has been dan
ger from the outset that they not
knowing the conditions here and la
boring under excitement would make
an assault upon our forces But un
der the circumstances the government
has been powerless to do anything to
prevent the present serious combina
I tion of affairs in Manila Under the
laws of nations the Philippine people
are citizens of Spain and of course
there is nothing to do but fight them
until they surrender and bring them
to a sense of their position I is
impossible for our government to with
draw I it has not troops enough to
subdue the Insurgents we must send
enough The occurrence H not pre
vent our doing Justice by the Filipinos
I in the end but it certainly postpones
the establishment of a government
I there for the present
I think i most unfortunate that
the peace treaty was not ratified the
first week after It came to the sen
ate I dont suppose that the Islanders
have read the speeches which have
been made in the senate predicting
the wicked things this government
would do in case of the ratification of
I the treaty but I have no doubt the
I delay has had the effect of causing
the opinion among the natives that our
I government would be embarrassed by
1 the sentiment of the American people
and that this condition of affairs has
I ten to complicate matters I think
it very much to be regretted that the
attack on the treaty has assumed a
political aspect
I TOLD YOU SO
Senator Frye a member of the peace I
commission and a supporter of the
treaty said The condition is what
11 have been predicting every day since
I the discussion of the treaty began The i I
i I absurd compliments that have been
heaped upon Aguinaldo and the delay
I in ratifying the treaty t have had the I
effect of encouraging him to make an
I I attack before reinforcements from the I
I United States could arrive at Manila
j I the treaty had been promptly ratl i I
l1e it Is my opinion that the Philip 1
i pine islands would have been as quiet
i and peaceful today as are the Uliitrd
1 States I had fully expected that the
rejection o the treaty wuul be fol
lowul by an ntta ii upon 0111 fices in i i
Manila and it has cone nly a few I
days in advance of the time I ex i
i pected As for our status In the Phil
ippines we are in Manila and Manila
bay by virtue of the protocol and un i
1 dEl wellestablished principles of In I
j ternational law We have a perfect i
j right to defend Manila and ourselves
if attacked I said last night in Phila
I ef f i i j hP J

las I we htiv received and It has come

upon
j SENATOR RAWLINS VIEW
I
I j I Senator llaulns wncse vote has hrsn
i counted ais umavoiabie to tae treaty I
I but who has been rcjadeJ as doubtful
j said Our status nt the Philippines I j
I as I understand it is this lbs inhabit
ants of the islancs still owe allegiance
i to the Spanish kingdom but our croups
j are in temporary military occupancy of i
j Manila under the tenas of the protocol
I they have attacked the United Statcu
I forces they have done so In violation
o the protocol or armistice between I
Spain and the United States fcc which
if It were worth while we might hold I
Spain responsible in some way which I
do not undertake to suggest The at
tack indicates that the natives are net
friendly to the United States and that
if we undertook to retain control there
we shall for a time have the same dif
ficulties which Spain has encountered
If we owe the iatives any obligation at
the present time they do not seem to
appreciate our method of discharging
it The affair emphasizes the import
ance of our being rid of the responsi
bility thrown upon us as soon as we
can possibly dispose of it
Senator Lindsay who will vote for
the treaty says To my knowledge it
would have been better if there had
heen an earlier disposition of the treaty
by the senate for I think a collision
would have been prevented by ratify
lag the treaty We have never ac
I knowledged the independence of the
I Filipino government and the United
I I Stains forces are lawfully at Manila
Of course wa will defend ourselves
from attack no mat r whence it
comes I is difficult to say what ef I
fect the trouble at Manila may have
upon the senates action with respect
to the treaty Senators on both sides
of the question of ratification may be
rendered the more determined by the
occurrence In law until the treaty
shall have been ratified the Filipinos
are Spaniards and particularly in the
present circumstances are our ene
mies
Senator Harris who had been gener
al regarded as In the doubtful list in
the vote on the treaty said I an
nounced several days ago that I ex
pected to vote for the treaty and I
only regiot that the vote could not
have been secured before the battle at
Manila occurred as I think such action
would have had a tendency to pacify
the natives and keep them quiet The
Filipinos are a people of peculiar temperament
perament and they would have been
impressed by prompt action on the part
of the senate Of course there Is noth
ing to do now In Manila but to stand
our ground and take the beet care of
our forces here that Is possible
RATIFY THE TREATY
Senator Cullom a member of the
committee on foreign relations ant a
supporter of the treaty said The
fighting at Manila Is a very serious affair
fair and I am sorry that it occurred
but I am gratified that our army was
able to more than hold its own There
is only one thing to do and that 1 to
stand our ground and I Tnorer troops

are needed the government ought to
send them promptly Until the treaty
is ratified we are technically at war
with Spain and our army was sent to
the Philippines aa one means of con
quering Spain Probably the attack
was made by Aguinaldo and his follow
ers in the hope of Influencing the sen
ate of the United States to defeat the
treaty I ought to be regarded by
every patriotic American as a reason
why the treaty should be ratified with
out a days delay In my judgment
the Insurgents have been Induced to
makfrthis attack for the purpose of in
fluencing public opinion in the United
StatesShi favor of the withdrawal of
our army from the islands But It
s ms ti me that I must have an ex
actly opposite effect
I have not now and have not had
much patience with the course pursued
by the opposition to the treaty because
I believed it would bring forth just
what has occurred The I h ought to
the ratification
have the effect of securing ratllca
tion of the treaty and I hope it will
MORGAN NOT SURPRISED
Senator Morgan a member of the
committee on foreign relations and a
supporter of the treaty from its intro
I duction Into the senate said
I have known for several days that
it was the opinion of the best Informed
I men in Washingto that Agulnaldos
agent Agoncillo had cabled to his
principal Informing him that a vote will
I be taken on the treaty on Monday at
the same time advising him to precipi
tate hostilities previous to the time set
for the ballot I have not been at liberty
ty to mention this fact to my colleagues
In the senate because it came to me in
a way that made it a secret confidence
The attack upon our forces is there
j i i fore no disappointment t me
I A strong impulse has undoubtedly
i been given to this moement by the
j 1 earnest insistence of some leading men
j I and leading newspapers that the treaty
I with San was a violation of the con
I stitution of the United States From
the first intrusion into the subject
I he demanded for Aguinaldo that the
alleged Philippine government should
be admitted to participate in making
I the treaty down to his memorial to the
senate on January 30 Agoncillo has insisted
I
sisted that the government he repre
I sents or pretends to represent is sover
eign and independent and that the
j i United States has no jurisdiction over
I it without the consent of the Filipinos
i This Is the only Issue he has presented
j I as the representative of Aguinaldo His
i demand has been for a recognition of I
1 independence or nothing and that we
i should give this recognition or fight
1 I On the part of Aguinaldo who is
doubtless supported by other foreign
influences this outbreak against our
I army In Manila Is a crime due entirely
to yersonal ambition He must be
lieve although I 10 not agree with him
I that he has secured and will secure
material support for his course in the
United States This misconception of
his has Involved us in unnecessary I
I bloodshed and in a war which if i is
not cliei ked at once will spread into
Cuba and Porto Rico It is therefore
In my opinion the duty as I hope It
will he the Indignant demand that the
United States government should bring j
all of Its power to heal at once to con
Ince these people that they owe obedi
ence to the law of nations and to show
them that their ingratitude to this
country from which they have received
nothing but lindriess and forbearance
Is u crime that must be answered for

sult of the killing last night in a saloon

at the news from the Philippine

to fight before the Americans were re
inforced
The representative added that
Mablni the head of the Filipino
cabinet and his colleagues were con
vinced that if the Americans were
beaten now public opinion in the
United States would Insist upon the

is absolutely no cause for apprehension
by the Americans as he considers the
American troops perfectly able to cope
with the enemy
The Insurgents said General Merrltt
have the habit of attacking their ene
mies at night I was so when I was
there You will see they will try it again
tonight I think there is no uso in tem
porizing with them The Filipinos are
apt to i t3tar a temporizing policy
Indicates fear
Major Merrltt was asked hoW large he
thought the Filipino army is and hees
timated when he was there that they had
from O to 15CCO men He arrived at
this estimate he explained by counting
tho rifles Tho Insurgents he said fight
in a rather peculiar way A man for ex
ample stays In a trench for fortyeight
hours and then I relieved by another
man who uses the same gun It Is there
fore quite probable that tho Filipinos are
much greater In number than the rUles
which he counted
General Merrltt spoke of the excellent
troops that a In Manila and its suburbs
He referred particularly t the First Min

Filipino Agent Seeks Refuge On
Canadian Sail
New York Feb 5A dispatch to the
Herald from Albany N Y says Agon
cio representative of the Filipino
junta in this country passed through
that city tonight en route for Can
ada
According to information received by
the correspondent of the Herald the
United States government has no In
tention of arresting AgoncIHo and will
allow him to proceed across the Cana
dian line
Agoncillo says that he has been un
able to communicate with Aguinaldo
owing to the strict censorship exer
rcised by the United States authorities
and thinks that it Is his duty under the
circumstances to place himself beyond
its jurisdiction so that he will be able
to communicate with his home people
He says he knows nothing of a battle
having taken place and thinks it pos
sible that no such event has taken
place although he adds that Itis pos
i sible that something of the kind has
occurred He condemns the action of
the United States government in refusing
fusing him permission to communicate
with his home government He says
I he is not going to Canada for the pur
pose of avoiding arrest He seems ac
1 cording to the correspondent of the
r Herald to be nervous and anxious to
place himself beyond the confines of
i this country a soon a possible

5Tere
i siderable mystery regarding the

Captain Morti Burges art officer In the
Filipino army Dr Luna and other
members of the junta insist that he will
return tonight or tomorrow morning
They laughed at a report which had
spread during the day that he had run
away
I On the other hand i Is known that
the secret service officers have Agon
cillo under surveillance wherever he
may be A story which seems to come
I from a quarter that should be credited
states that Agoncillo left at 1130
oclock last night for New York
The other members of the junta

REPATRIATION OF SPANIARDS I i
Spanish Government Proposes to j
Treat With the Filipinos
Madrid Feb 5It is announced that
arrangements for the repatriation of
the Spanish troops in the Philippine
islands are being made at New York
and San Francisco The American
government it Is added bears the ex
pense of repatriation which is to be
carried out by the Spanish TransAt
lantic Steamship company The Span
ish government through the French
embassy at AVashlngton has sent a
communication to the government of i
the United States saying that in view
of the nonsuccess of the Americans to i
obtain the release of the Spanish pris
oners the Spanish government itself
has taken steps to obtain their release i
But as this will necessitate a certain
expense the government of Spain re
calls the fact that the stipulations of
the treaty of Paris oblige the Ameri
cans to obtain the liberation of the
Spaniards
General Rica commanding the Span
ish troops in the Philippines cables
that Aguinaldo offers to release the
Spanish prisoners on the payment of
J5000CO and the handing over to him
of the cannon rules and 3000000 car
tridges belonging to the Spaniards
The government here replied that It
could not accept this transaction as it
would be equivalent to indirect protec
tion of the insurgents which would be
a breach of the Spanish engagements
with the United States Aguinaldo it
appears still retains the civil prison
ers and the monks

J B Reynolds In New York Sun
Te great Carl Schurz of Gotham
By foreign gods he swore
That the land thyt had annexed him
Should annex nothing more
By foreign gods he swore It
And named a trysting day
And bade Ms messengers ride forth
East and west and south and aorta
To summon his array
Lo on the day appointed
There came a motley crew
Potatos henchman Pingree
The bounding Pettlgrew
The Vest that out of fashion
Godkin high priest of hate
Edward he of cashless feed
Ed whose oven Is all you need
From the Bay spectacled state
Then outspake brave Carl Schurztzius
This battle must begin
The people are against us
And we must tight like sin
In the senate pass the people will
May perhaps bo stopped by three
Now who will stand on either hand
And lllibuster with me
Outspake Pettlgrew the Dakotan
A talker brave was he
Lo I will stand on thy right hand
And waste good time with thee
Then outspake Vest the Missourtan
A spendthrift of words was he
Lo I will stand on thy left hand
And filibuster with thee
But here the parallel ondeth
Some things history does not repeat
The NarrowMinded regiment
Was swept from off its feet
Therell be no graven image
No statue set on high
No tales of the new Horatius
When winds round the chimney sigh
And the end of these poor creatures
Who got in the way of fate
Is like the cow who stsJcl on the tracts
And saw the train too late
