MANILA. Feb. 10.— The attack upon
Csloocan by the American forces waa
Inaugurated at 3:40 this afternoon, and
the Filipino stronghold wa> reduced
In short order. The slaughter "of rebels
was like the mowing of grass, and
the Filipinos finally fled in dismay,
leaving the field of battle strewn with
thtir dead. The American losses were
insignificant.
At a signal from the tower of the
De la Loma church, the United States j
double-turreted monitor Monadnock
opened fire from the bay with the big
guns of her fore turret on the earth
works with great effect. Soon after
wards the Utah battery bombarded the
place from the land side. The rebels
reserved their fire until the bombard
ment ceased, when they fired volleys
of musketry as the Montana regiment
advanced on the jungle- The Kansas
regiment, on the extreme left, with
the Third artillery deploying to the
right, 'charged across the or>en and
carried the earthworks, cheering un- ,
der a heavy tire. Supported by the
artillery at the church, the troops ad
vanced, driving the enemy, fighting
every foot, right into the town line,
and penetrated to the Presidencia, and
lowered the Filipino flag at 5.30 p. m.
The enemy's sharpshooters, in the jun
gle on the right, fired at long range on
the Pennsylvania regiment, but the
rebels were soon silenced by shrapnel
shells and the Pennsylvania remained
in the trenches. As the Americans
advanced they burned the native huts.
To reach its present position the bri- !
gade has advanced four times since 1
Saturday, in a series of brilliant com- .
batt on different parts of the line of 1
action, especially so on the 4th, sth and '
7th. The last advance was the most <
sanguinary, the American loss being
one killed and six wounded, while the
Filipinos suffered a loss of forty-four
killed and were utterly routed. The
brigade has lost to date six killed and
fifty-five wounded. The Fili.pinos lost
130. All the dead were buried. Several
bayonet charges were made on the 7th, !
during the advance of the right and
center. The taking uf the Chinese I
cemetery on the sth, by the Montana i
and Pennsylvania regiments, was a su- '
pert piece of work. A brilliantly ex
ecuted advance U2> the slope in the
open made a battle picture that would
delight any veteran.
FILIPVfOS FINAL STAND.
The rebels have apparently selected
Malabon as their base of operations
in the next encounter with the Amer
icans, as they aie concentrating in con
siderable force there, and at Caloocan.
Many small bodies of scattered troopa
are straggling in from the right, and
others are undoubtedly arriving from
the north interior provinces.
Aguinaldo is reported to have estab
lished headquarters at Malabon for the
purpose of rallying his forces for a de
cisive blow. In order to cover their
movements the rebels again opened fire
upon the Kansas outposts last night
from the jungle. The firing was con
tinued for twenty minutes, but with
out effect. The Americans reserved
their lire until a detachment of the en
emy emerged from the bamboos, when
a well-directed volley made the rebels

In anticipation of a native uprising
in this city unusual precautions were
taken here last night by the American
military authorities. Fortunately the

Filipinos are evidently convinced that
an uprising would prove suicidal to
them.

AGUINALDOS ULTIMATUM.
Filipino CUef Gave American*
Three DnyN to Get Out.
VANCOUVER, B. C, Feb. 6.— The
steamer Esmeralda, leaving Manila
Jan. 10, arrived at Hong Kong Jan. 16.
Passengers said that on the 10th Agui
naldo had issued his twelfth and last
proclamation which amounted to an
ultimatum. In effect it gives the Amer
icans three days in which to make up
thtir minds what to do — "get out or
fight." In consequence of this ulti
matum, Europeans living in the out
skirts moved into the city, and Gen.
Oiis quickly prepared for the worst.
Aguinaldo "is said to favor peace at
any price. His followers have not been
paid for three months, and they de
manded from Aguinaldo immediate
payment or the loot of Manila. Hav
ing no money to pay them, the soldiers
got beyond the control of their com
mander. An American citizen on the
Esmeralda said:
"On Wednesday, Jan. 10, the Ameri
can soldiers were lolling about in their
aimless way, having the appearance
of men on whose hands time hangs
heavily. The streets were crowded,
and business was in full swing, but
every one's nerves seemed to be on
edge, as if disaster was imminent and
anticipated. All at once a great crowd
came rushing down the road. I heard
the bugle sound sharply in a dozen
places, calling the soldiers to quarters,
and in five minutes not a boy in blue
could be seen on the escolta. On seeing
the Americans in mass, the insurgents
retired in quiet order."

FATE OF__ANDREE.
Pcobable Solution of the Prolonged
Silence of the Aeronaut.
KRASNOYARSK, Siberia, Feb. 10.—
A gold mine owner named Meonastys
chin, has received a letter saying that
a tribe of Turgusos, inhabiting the
Timur, peninsula. North Siberia, re
cently informed the Russian police
chief of the district, that on Jan. 7
last, between Komo and Pit, in the
province of Yeniseisk, they found a
cabin constructed of cloth and cordage,
apparently belonging to a balloon.
Close by were the bodies of three men,
the head of one badly crushed. Around
them were a number of instruments,
the uses of which were not under
stood by the Turguses. The police chief
has started for the spot to investigate,
as it is believed that the bodies are
those of the aeronaut, Herr Andree, and
his companions.
The balloon Egle with Prof. Andre
and two companions, Strindeberge and
Fronkel, in the car, left Dane's island,
off the Spitzbergen group, on July 11,
1897. in an attempt to cross the North
polar point. No definite news of the
aeronauts has been received beyond
the message, attached to a carrier
pigeon, found by the whaling ship
Falken, which arrived at Copenhagen
on Sept. 2. The message read:
"July 13, 12:30 PM, latitude 22:02 north,
longitude 12:06 east. Good voyage eastward.
All well."

CANTON, 0., Feb. 10.— The plea In

George, Indicted for the murder of
George D. Sexton, has been prepared
and will be filed in court early Satur
day. Contrary to expectations, the
plea does not go into the merits of the

the motion to quash, filed and over

NKW YORK, Feb. 10.— Two men,
whose names have been most intimate
ly connected with the death of Mrs.
Adams, were on the witness stand
today before Coroner Hart and jury
and put through a rigid cross-examina
tion by Assistant District Attorney Os
borne, who is conducting the case.
Harry Cornish, who gave the poison
to Airs. Adams, was the first witness
called, and at the afternoon session R.
B. Molineaux, who had been named by
Cornish, on the stand, as the man he
believed to have sent the poisoned
bromo-seltzer through the mails, was
called.
Cornish was- again somewhat reti
cent today and equivocal in his an
swers to questions put to him by the
assistant district attorney, and in one
instance at least, occasioned a great
deal of surprise. In an interview with
a number of newspaper representa
tives, preliminary to the commence
ment of the examination, Cornish, when
asked if he knew Mrs. Molineaux, and
if she could have any connection with
the case, said that he wished the as
sistant district attorney would ask him
that question on the stand.
"A man is supposed to perjure him
self for a woman," said Cornish, "but
I am here to tell the truth, if they ask
me such a question."
This seemed a significant statement
at the time, and Assistant District At
torney Osborne put those very ques
tions to him, to which Cornish made
the following answer:
"I never saw Mrs. Molineaux to know
her, and never saw her when she was
Blanche Cheseborough."
He made the statement that he had
suspected Molineaux of having pre
pared the poison because a chemist, a
friend of his, had suggested that be
cause a sediment had been left in the
glass from which Mrs. Adams drank
that the bromo-seltzer preparation
had been put up by a half chemist, a
man who had some knowledge of chem
istry, but not a complete knowledge,
and that as Molineaux knew some
thing- of chemistry his name naturally
suggested itself. This was the reason,
Cornish said, and the fact that he had
a quarrel with Molineaux was another
reason.
Early in the day Cornish sent word
that he wished to make a statement to
District Attorney Gardner. The latter
replied that any communication Cor
nish had to make must be through.As
sistant District Attorney Osborne, who
is conducting the case, on behalf of
Col. Gardner's department.
Cornish then had a long conference
with Mr. Mclntyre, who, besides being
a personal friend of Cornish, is said to
have knowledge of many personal
ramifications - which the my&teiious
poisoning has brought about. After
consulting Mr. Mclntyre, Cornish re
turned to the inquest room. None of
the other numerous witnesses sUb
poenaed were present. Cornish declin
ed to say anything regarding District
Attorney Gardner's remark last night,
that it now behooved him to "clear his
skirts." It is understood that Col.
Gardner made this remark in connec
tion with Cornish's apparent unwill
ingness to tell everything he knew re
garding the state of affairs at the
athletic club, and regarding his re
lations with those persons who have
been brought into the case more or
less in the guise of suspects.
SOMEWHAT ABRUPT.
The first question that Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Osborne asked Cornish
today was somewhat abrupt.
"Will you tell me," he said, "all your
reasons for supposing Molineaux com
mitted this crime?"
Cornish answered, as he did yester
day, that the idea came to him when
he examined the handwriting on the
package containing the bromo seltzer
bottle and the poison.
"You don't believe now that Moli
neaux wrote that address?"
"No, I don't," replied Cornish short
ly.
Cornish also denied that he thought
Felix Gallagher wrote the address
Cornish said that he had learned from
the police that whoever prepared the
bromo seltzer bottle must have been a
chemist. Besides Molineaux there were
in the Knickerbocker club two chem
ists, Jocum and Tuttle.
../' J ° f C T told me '" continued Cornish
that it was evident that the com
pounder was only half a chemist."
Jocum waa intimate with the Adams

l^t^ W J ORK ' Feb - 10 — Henry George has sent the following
letter to President Grout, of the borough of Brooklyn, declining
i invitation to act on a committee to arrange for the Maine me
morial services:
I have deep sympathy -with all who lost dear ones on the ves
sel and would be glad to subscribe to the limit of my means to
ward an assistance fund, but I do not wish to participate in any
public ceremony that shall even remotely seem to approve of the
policy of the administration at Washington.
"I believe in liberty— liberty of the Jeffersonian kind, that
would give absolute freedom of action to the individual without
infringing the rights of others, and I would at the outset have
had our government-recognize the right of the Cubans to be free,
whatever complications might have resulted with Spain as a con
sequence. But Ido not believe in the kind of liberty that Presi
dent McKinley is dealing in.
'The freedom that is given under a military despotism must
be a s rotten as the horrible meat that was given to onr citizen
soldiers in the recent Cuban war. Men who came to official pow
er by use of the most gigantic corruption fund that was ever seen
in politics, who have since rioted in public expenditure at Wash
ington, who have added enormously to the common man's bur
dens for the benefit of ring 8 and special interests, and who have
killed more soldiers with bad food and bad treatment than Were
slain by Spanish bullets, are not to be Implicitly trusted when it
comes to conferring liberty upon other people."
family, and examine* the compound
before the police took It away.
QUOTED THE EXPERTS.
"Now look here, Cornish," said the
assistant district attorney, "you said
that I was not; treating you fairly. I
do not suspect you ofHhe crime, and I
am giving you evei'y chance to tell all
you know. Are you perfectly candid?"
"I am telling you all I know," said
Cornish.
Mr. Osborne asked Cornish If he had
any opinion as to who wrote the ad
dress on the poison package. Cornish
said he had not.
"Didn't you tell Col. Gardner that
you thought Felix ; Gallagher wrote
that address?" asked Mr. Osborne.
"I told him the experts said the let
ters were written by the man who ad
dressed the poison packages, and I felt
sure Gallagher had written the letters."
"And you think he wrote the address
(in the package?"
"No, I think there is a resemblance
In the writing. I cannot say who wrote
that address. The experts said the
handwriting was the same."
MR. MOLINEAUX TESTIFIES.
Cornish gave way on the stand tem
porarily to Molineaux. Mr. Osborne
asked the witness abruptly if he was
innocent of the poisoning of Mrs. Ad
ams. Molineaux replied:
"I am absolutely innocent."
Molineaux told of his connection with
the Knickerbocker and New York Ath
letic clubs, and said that he had left
the former club largely because of his
quarrel with Coniish. He was asked
if he had known Henry C. Barnett, and
replied that he was a warm personal
friend of that man, a friendship that
had lasted several years. He could
suggest no motive why any man should
send poison to Barnett. Molineaux
then described the rooms at the Knick
erbocker Athletic club on the second
floor, occupied by himself, Barnett,
Ccrnish and Adams. A fishing trip
on Morgan's yacht Victor, which had
been brought into the case, came into
discussion. Molineaux said he had
had several trips on the yacht, but
Barnett had never been with him.
He had met Miss Cheseborough on one
of these trips, being introduced to her
by her married sister.

is about this: Ten. or a dozen manu

would combine, getting together a
capital of $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 and do,
say, a $15,000,000 business. They might
pay a good jobber in the West and a

OPEN DOOR IN CHINA
LORD CHARLES BBRESFORD, OP
BRITISH NAVY, COMBS TO
ADVOCATE IT
RECEIVED IN SAN FRANCISCO
Will Visit Boards off Trade In Lead-
Ing American Cities to Secure
Their Views on Commercial l'u
tnre of the Orient Argues That
America Is Most Interested In
the Open Door Policy.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10.— The new
Japanese liner America Maru arrived
here today from China and Japan, via
Honolulu, one day ahead of time. On
board the vessel was Lord Charles
Beresford, admiral of the British navy.
The America Maru was met at the
Heads by a government tug boat bear-
Ing a party of distinguished citizens,
who went to welcome the visiting ad
miral, who came to this country In a
threefold capacity, viz: As a British
statesman, an officer of the royal navy
and a commissioner from the associ
ated chambers of commerce of Eng
land. The party landed before the ves
sel docked, by special permission, .and
the admiral was driven to the Palace
hotel.
Lord Beresford'e proposal of an
"open door" policy in the Orient has
been received with great attention
throughout the world, and it will like
ly play a most prominent part in the
settlement of the far Bast question.
"In an interview today Lord Beres
ford said:
"It means simply that, instead of
'spheres of influence,' which means the
breaking up of the Chinese empire,
that England, America, Gei-many and
Japan shall, by agreement, maintain
free and equal commercial relations
for all in the Orient. It includes the
reorganiaztlon of the Chinese army,
officered both as to commissioned and
non-commissioned officers by Euro
peans; that the Chinese empire may
be properly policed and life and prop
erty made safe. As It is now mob 3
and rebellions are liable at any time
to destroy both lives and property, as
actually happened not long ago, when
about 6,000,000 taels' worth of property
belonging to the French mission in
Western China was destroyed.
MUST GUARANTEE ORDER.
"China must have a revenue and the
'open door' policy by guaranteeing or
der and uniformity In customs regula
tions, and tariffs will provide it in
greater abundance than it has ever
been provided before, besides insuring
that it shall not be wasted as it now
is. It will mean the opening up of the
empire in all its progress and devel
opment of its wonderful resources of
mining. The returns from the con
cessions from these natural resources
now lying idle will be a source of great
revenue to the empire.
"If the spheres of influence policy
is allowed to be adopted, Russia will,
of course, become all powerful in the
North, France in the South. England,
of course, cannot get everything. Ger
many will get what she can. While
America will probably get nothing,
for though I think she is destined to
be a great trading nation in the Orient
— greater than Great Britain or any
other country, yet America's commerce
is bound to grow. With the spheres of
influence, of course, Russia would put
on preferential tariffs in the regions
she dominated, and France would do
the same in her territory. I do not
know whether Germany and England
would or not. Thus America would be
cut out altogether, or practically so,
from the China trade, and England
: from all but that she dominated. So
that America really has more interest
in the 'open door' than England has.
"I go from here to Chicago, New
York and Washington, to get the senti
ments of the boards of trades and
chambers of commerce there on ' the
proposal."
Lord Beresford will remain here for
some time and many receptions have
been planned for his entertainment.
On next Monday the chamber of com
.merce will entertain him and he will
piobably be Invited to give his views
on some of the questions of the day
particularly of the condition of com
merce in the far East and the oppor
tunity for investment . of American
money. Mayor Phelan will deliver the
address of welcome and other well
known San Franciscans will speak.

PARIS, Feb. 10.— Late this afternoon
there was some excitement on the
streets caused by the shouting of the
rival parties. A crowd of antl-revi
slonists, on finding themselves unable
to gain admission to a meeting that
was being addressed by M. Quesnay
de Beaurepalre, moved off and demon
strated at the office of the minister of
war, the Palais Bourbon; and the of
fices of the Libre Parole, where the
demonstration became rather threat
ening and ended in a scuffle with the
police, who made numerous arrests.
Strong police guards are posted every
where, and these have prevented
serious developments.
In his speech at the meeting M.
Quesnay de Beaurepaire stated that
uiJess the revision proceedings were
brought to an end it would entail
either civil or foreign war. Politicians
everywhere will share this opinion.
Nevertheless the chamiber of deputies
is evidently in no mood for a minis
terial crisis, and'lt is even said that
the open letters to the government by
M. Brisson and other prominent depu
ties yesterday served to increase to
. day's majority in favor of the revision
bill, several of those who signed it be
ing suspected of aiming at office.
The debate in the chamber today
proved stormy, but unimportant. Dep
uties who signed the open letter did so
in face of the premier's threat to bring

government evoked protests, and dur
ing his speeches there was so much
disorder that the bell of the president
was ringing almost continuously. M.
Dr.puy's speech, appealing to the
patriotism of the deputies, gave him
an easy victory over a weak chamber.
He himself had only predicted a ma
jority of about fifty. M. Dupuy holds
optimistic opinions and thinks that be

will be decided and settled for ever.
The bill was adopted by an over
whelming vote.

HOBO CLUB FUNCTION.
The First Banquet of a Iniqne New
York Organization.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.— The first fort
nightly banquet of the Hobo club was
held in the banqueting rooms of P. C.
Volta &.Son, 25 Mulberry street. Thir
ty hobos of the vicinity were there and
did justice to a menu of baked maca
roni, roast beef with mashed potatoes,
pie and beer. The beer was served in
schooners holding a quart, and the
supply was unlimited.
After the dinner "Brooklyn Joe," who
had combed his hair in honor of the
occasion, was introduced. He called
attention to the two American flags
draped over the table and the tomato
can suspended beneath them. He said
the can was the insignia of the order.
"Dog Dodger Dan" started to recite
"The Raven." He got as far as the
second stanza, when some one shouted
"You're drunk."
' "So was the man who wrote it," he
retorted. "He was as dopy as me or
you."
At 10 o'clock the guests had arranged
themselves in a row at the door to ask
loans from the reporters present.
The Hobo club was organized two
weeks ago. Each day for thirteen
days the members paid two cents each
into the general fund, and, when each
had paid 26 cents, the banquet was
prepared.

A cold wave Is coming this way and
will strike St. Paul this morning if it
does not run off the track. This will
be welcome news to those people who
Imagined the winter would pass with
out colder weather than has made the
past week so delightful. It was feared
that the thermometer would not get be
low 35 degrees below zero this winter,
but weather wise prophets predict
that It will go much lower before an
other week.
This prediction is based upon condi
tions reported from Montana and Da
kota yesterday. Montana experienced
a hot wave Thursday, and it had an
effect upon Dakota weather also. It
was thought it might reach Minnesota,
but yesterday afternoon reports came
in that Montana was feeling quite
chilly, and Dakota was not as tropical
a place as had been expected. At
Grand Forks, where the mercury went
up Thursday, it fell to 42 degrees below
zero yesterday, and there were indica
tions that it would be much cooler be
fore night.
The railroad officers which keep in
formed of the weather through their
station agents reported a cooler influ
ence all over the Northwest yesterday.
Even in Idaho and Washington the
temperature was lower than it had
been for several days, and there seem
ed to be no ground for hope that the
Intensely cold weather of the past week
was to discontinue.
"There is no reason," said a railroad
man yesterday, "to expect warmen
weather within two weeks. Every
thing seems to be against it. The cold
area extends all over the country, and
there is no sign of a warm wave any
where."
It was a little warmer in St. Paul
yesterday morning. The thermometers
registered 20 below early in the morn
ing, but toward noon they went up to
12 degrees below, and at 2 o'clock it
was only 9 degrees below.
From that hour the mercury fell
gradually, and last night the tempera
ture was very low again, and pedes
trians went well muffled up.
The coal dealers and the plumbers
are reaping a harvest from the weath
er. It is bankrupting householders to
pay for coal to burn, and it is bank
rupting landlords to pay for plumbers'
bills for mending; frozen and broken
pipes. If the present weather con
tinues coal will go up in price, and
plumbers will be so busy that they will
raise their rutes for work that must be
performed.
There has as yet been little sickness
due to the cold weather, but even the
stoutest citizen of the city will be un
able to withstand the cold If it con
tinues many more days. The stoutest
constitution will feel its effects. As
long as it continues busineps will be
affected. Railroad men are now com
plaining that the cold weather is affect -
ing that business disastrously.
It is Impossible to run trains at the
ut-ual speed, shippers are not willing
to risk moro freight than is absolutely
necessary at this time. Many are not
able to get their freight from distant
points to the railroads, and in the cities
and towns business men are not going
about to transact business more than
they are obliged to. The weather is
consequently affecting the business and
traffic of the entire country.
SHEEP FROZEN^ DEATH.
Henvy losses Suffered by Slii|»i»«"«"«
of Live Stuck.
The past week of cold weather has been
most detrimental to the local liv stock inter
ests, and has been especially severe on ship
pers who have been unfortunate' enough to
have stock on the road coming from long
distances. Long & Co., of Bentun. Mont.,
lost about 325 sheep out of a train of e'.even
cars. When the men opened the ears at
South St. Paul to unload them 170 of the
woolly animals were found frozen stiff and
about 300 more were so b:numbed whh the
cold rtiat they had to be carried out of the
cars. Of this latteT number more than l."< 0
were so badly frozen that they died aft:r
having been unloaded. The loss will prove
a heavy one, as the inspection laws forbid
the use of frozen anima'.s for meat. They
have to be sold for the value of their polls,
and their carcass are made Into fertilizer.
Previous to this loss Long ft Co. and R.
Berry, of Springdaile. lost twenty-six head of
sheep in one shipment.
Other shippers have also suffered severe
lows. J>ut none that compared with the
above two. In one day the yard men at
South St. Paul found forty-one head of cattle,
calves and hogs that had been crippled or
frozen in reaching the market. This loss,
however, was not so noticeable, as it was
divided up among several shippers.
The 16»5«5 In the yards have also been
quite heavy, as there is practically no way
to protect the unsold stuff that has to remain
in the pens over night.
MISERY I)F_THE POOR.
Many AKeneles Are at Work to Ke-
Ileve tlie Suffering.
"Does the continued cold weather cause
much suffering?" was the question put to
Secretary HutcSiins yesterday. "Well," h rt
plied, "It would but for our prompt efforts
to relieve those found in distress. The last
few days our city physician and the police
officers have reported to us a number of
cases that needed immediate attention."
■ "We found, in response to a call of !>r.
Weirick. a family of four small children cry
ing for food. They had nothing In the house
but a half loaf of dry bread and a ftw frozen
potatots. The same day we found a family
of seven children wiiere it was necessary to
send supplies at once; also a family of three
children needing immediate attention. anJ. in
the ease of Th« family burned out at No. 88
Wood street, we found it necessary to supply
moils and ledginga for them until today. We
have now located them on Dearborn sti>et.
on the West side, and given them an outfit
of furni; -c, bedding, clothing and children's
shoes, and paid their first month's rent
whil? the board cf control have provided food
and fuel. We still need for this family a
small heating stove.
"Our police officers have very kindly
watched any cases of distress upon ttielr
beat; one especially, on St. Peter str et.
where the nig>ht officer and some of the
livery m»-n near by alteranately kept irn the
fire for a sick woman through th.se cold
nights, the woman having been lying sick
in the house three days without food and
fuel. Officer Ohrtetianson reported this ca.-.e
