Filipino Plot.
Washington, Feb. 22.—The following
dispatch was received yesterday after-
noon from Gen. Otis:
Manila, Feb. 21.—Adjutant general,
Washington: The following was is-
sued by an important officer of the in-
surgent government at Malolcs on Feb.
15, 1899, for execution during that ev-
ening and night in this city: OTIS.
“1. You will so dispose that at 8
dr at night the individuals of
Fitorial militia at your order will
Ind united in all the streets of
5edro, armed with their halos and
fvolvers or guns, and ammunition,
[if possible.
“2. Philippine families only will be
respected. They should not be molest-
ed, but all other individuals, of what-
ever race they may be, will be ex-
terminated without any compassion
after the extermination of the army of
occupation.
“3. The defenders of the Philippines
in your command will attack the guard
at Bilibid and liberate the prisoners
and ‘presidiarios,’ and having accom-
plished this, they will be armed, saying
to them: ‘Brothers, we must avenge
ourselves on the Americans and exter-
minate them, that we may take our
revenge for the infamy and treachery
which they have committed upon us.
Have no compassion upon them; at-
tack with vigor. All Filipinos en
masse will second you. Long live Fil-
ipino independence.’
“5. The order which will be follow-
ed in the attack will be as follows:
The sharpshooters of Tondo and Santa
Ana will begin the attack from without
and these shots will be the signal for
the militia of Trozo Binondo, Quiato
and Sampaloe to go out into the
streets and do their duty; those of
Pake, Ermita and Malate, Santa Cruz
and San Miguel will not start out until
12 o’clock, unless they see that their
companions need assistance.
“6. The militia of Tondo will start
out at 3 o’clock in the morning. If all
do their duty our revenge will be com-
plete. Brothers, Europe contemplates
us. We know how to die as men,
shedding the blood for our country.
Death to the tyrants. War without
quarter to false Americans, who have
deceived us. Either independence or
death.”
The portion of Gen. Otis’ dispatch
vindicated by dashes the officials were
[unable to decipher. There is no
^“fourth” paragraph in the insurgent
tatement as furnished to the press.
Last Page Finished.
Lshington, Feb. 22.—The house
|ied the last page''of the naval bill
and adjourned, with a point
ter~pending against a provision
fixing the price of armor plate at $545
per ton. The provision in the bill went
out on a point of order on the ground
that it was not limited to the armor
to be purchased with the appropria-
tion in the bill, whereupon it was
modified to meet this objection, and
ftgainst it the point o.f order pending
at adjournment was raised.
Much of the time yesterday was oc-
cupied in debating the amendment of-
fered by Mr. Mudd (Rep.) of Mary-
land appropriating $720,000 to com-
plete the three buildings authorized
to be erected at the naval academy
at Annapolis. The naval committee,
with the exception of Mr. Cummings,
strenuously opposed proceeding with
the work or rehabilitating the naval
academy until comprehensive plans
had been decided upon, but the house
overruled the committee and adopted
the amendment.
Two important provisions in the
paragraph, providing for the con-
struction of the new ships, went out
on points of order.
Advices from the orient state that
the Russian government is. pouring
troops into Pont Arthur and Talien-
Wan on the ground that the force now
garrisoning those places is too small,
Jm view of the apparent discontent of
the inhabitants of the Liao-Tung Pe-
ninsula.
United States jurisdiction will be
rigidly extended over the whole
Philippine group.
Situation Improved.
Washington, Feb. 22.—The cabinet
at its meeting yesterday discussed the
message received from Gen. Otis at
Manila, and reached the conclusion
that the situation generally in the
Philippines was considerably im-
proved. From other sources it is
learned that the insurgent leaders have
admitted that when the United States
forces are reinforced by the troops now
nearing: Manila their chances of suc-
cess will be greatly reduced.
Nominations.
^Washington, Feb. 22.—The president
jess nominations to the senate:
|ph A. Gill of Kansas, judge of
^ed States court, northern dis-
klndian Territory; David D.
^^bama, United States elr-
kfifth judicial circuit.
Many Bodies.
New York, Feb. 22.—Packed away,
each in a refrigerator cell, amid tons
of ice, there were in the morgue until
yesterday 170 bodies of the city s un-
known and homeless dead, the largest
number ever gathered there since the
present morgue was built. The cause
of this was that the city burying
ground on Hart’s island was hemmed
in by ice and could not be approached
by the steamers of the charity depart-
ment.
The city supports on Hart’s island a
colony of forty men whose duty it is
to dig the graves in the potter’s field.
These men for ten days have been
without occupation.
The tug Fidelity and the sidewheel-
er Thomas S. Brennan of the charity
fleet both tried to break through the
ice which surrounds Hart’s island, but
failed. On Sunday the big steamer
Lighter was fixed for a rush through
the ice. One hundred and sixty-one
bodies were loaded on her and she
steamed up to Hart’s island. In spite
o*’ all the captain could do he was
not able to force a passage. The grave-
diggers watched the Columbia strug-
gling with the ice.
The Columbia tried it again how-
ever, and reached Hart’s island after
a hard battle with the ice.
An important discussion of the prob-
lems of politics, by Franklin Smith,
will appear in Appleton’s Popular Sci-
ence Monthly for March, under the title
Politics as a Form of Civil War. Mr.
Smith is very sharp in his arraignment
of present political tendencies.

Tasted Like Sea Weed.
Washington, Feb. 22.—The session
of the Miles court of inquiry began
yesterday with Col. William H. Pow-
ell of the seventh infantry, who was
stationed at Madison barracks at the
outbreak of the war. He said that
he started for Tampa on April 19 with
a month’s rations and did not come
in contact with the food from the com-
missary department at Tampa until
about ready to start for Cuba. The
regiment went through the Santiago
campaign and after the city was cap-
tured and the regiment quartered in
the city he received requests from
his men for money to buy stuff to eat.
He investigated the so-called canned
roast beef and had some of it served
at his own table.
“I could not eat it,” he continued.
“It was a stringy, unwholesome-look-
ing mess, more like wet seaweed thoa
anything else I can think of. The men
were sick and debilitated and could
not keep it on their stomachs. We
had at that time 152 sick. Soon after
that the fresh beef began to arrive and
the men ate readily and began to pick
up in health. Afterward we were
moved out to camp near the San Juan
battle field. Here much of our meat
spoiled before we could get it.”
Army Bill.
Washington, Feb. 22.—Formal dis-
cussion of the Hull-Hawley army re-
organization bill was begun in the sen-
ate yesterday afternoon. Mr. Hawley
and Mr. Warren (Reps.) supported the
measure and Mr. Mitchell and Mr.
Cockrell (Dems.) opposed ft, while Mr.
Proctor (Rep.) addressed the senate in
favor of some amendments which he
had proposed to the bill.
All the speakers are members of the
committee on military affairs.
Mr. Cockrell’s speech, though brief,
was particularly notable, as he spoke
definitely for the opposition to the
army bill. He declared practically in
so many words, that the Hull-Hawley
hill could not become a law this
session. He and those who stood with
him were willing to give the president
all the money and every man he de-
sired, but they were determined that no
standing army should be fastened upon
the country without full and free dis-
cussion.'
The postoffice appropriation bill was
passed.
Col. J. Pinckney Smith, proprietor
of the New Orlens States, and one of
the best known journalists in the
south, is dead.

Loubet Chq>«l.
Paris, Feb. 20.—M. Loubet,was Sat-
urday elected president o<1 the French
republic by the national assembly at
Versailles., M. Loubet received 483
votes, against 270 votes oast for M.
Meline.
The assembly met at 1 o’clock. M.
Loubet declared the sitting open amid
the applauseof the Leftists, during
which M. Loubet proceed to draw for
tellers.
When M. Paul Deroulede, .organizer
of the League of Patriots and a deputy
representing the second district of An-
gouleme, voted he attempted to speak
from .the tribune where the urns are
placed, but M. Loubet forbade him to
do so, which called for protests from
the Rightists and applause from tbeLeft
ists. M. Deroulede, .however, persisted
in speaking and repulsed the ushers
and others who rushed up to expel him
from the tribune, which he finally left.
Before retiring M. Deroulede shout-
ed: “The president of the republic
ought to be elected by the people. I will
not vote here.” Then turning to M.
Loubet, M. Deroulede .cried: “Do you
deny what M. De Beaurepaire has
written?”
To this M. Loubet replied: “I am,not
called to answer you.”
M. Deroulede retorted: “I know what
you are.”
M. Dumont, anti-Semite, represent-
ing in the chamber the first division of
Algiers, also attempted to speak and
a great commotion followed,. during
which cries of “Down with anarchy”
were raised.
In the meantime the voting con-
tinued and at 2:40 p. m. the ballot
was completed. ,
M. Meline loudly announced that he
had voted for M. Loubet.
Emile Loubet, who until his election
to the presidency was president of the
French senate, was born at Marsanne
on Dec. 31, 1838, was educated for the
bar and began his practice at Montel-
imaro. He entered political life in the
general election of 1876, when he pro-
fessed himself a republican and op-
posed to general and complete amnes-
ty. He was elected by a great majority
and at once associated himself in the
assembly with the Republican Left. He
was one of the deputies who refused
a vote to the De Broglie ministry in
1877.
After having been twice elected to
the assembly, he became a candidate
for the senate in his old department
and was elected in 1885. He became a
member of the first Tirard ministry,
which only survived for three months,
holding the position of minister of pub-
lic works. When M. Be Freycinet de-
clined to undertake the presidency of
the council he was intrusted with the
reconstruction of the ministry and took
the position of minister of the interior,
from which M. Constans had retired in
1S')2 .
The official count showed that 812
votes were cast and that M. Loubet re-
received 483, M. Meline 279 and 50 were
scattered.
National Senate.
Washington, Feb. 20.—The senate
spent most of Saturday on postowce
appropriation bill, but failed to com-
plete it. After an animated discussion
of the pneumatic tube system, Mr. Cul-
lom’s amendment increasing the ap-
propriation for that purpose, and de-
signed to extend the system to Chicago
was tabled. An echo of the old star
route developments was heard when
several senators criticised the method
by which a combination of speculators
secured the star route contracts.
Bills were passed extending the time
for the Arkansas and Northwestern
Railway company to construct a rail-
road through the Indian Territory;
granting an extension of time for the
construction of a railroad through the
Indian Territory to the Gainesville,
McAlester and St. Louis Railway com-
pany and giving a preference right of
entry to persons procuring a cancella-
tion of fraudulent or double allotments
to Indians; providing for the acquiring
of rights of way by railroad compan-
ies through Indian reservations, Indian
lands and Indian allotments.
Terrell, Tex., is to have a free public
library.
Samoan Matter.
Washington, Feb. 20.—The Samoan
complications are about to pass into
the safe lines of diplomatic treatment,
in the judgment of the officials here,
who say there is really not much dan-
ger in the situation if sensible coun-
cils prevail, and subordinate officials
refrain from overzealous acts and
words and letters. No official notice
is expected to be taken of the epistle
written by Chief Justice Chambers to
his brother in this country criticising
the Germans so freely.
Colorado Snowslide.
■ Telluride, Col., Feb. 20.—Tremendous
snowslides came down the sides of
Yellow mountain, about one-quarter of
a mile below Ophir, yesterday
afternoon and killed one man and prac-
tically destroyed the Caribou concen-
trating plant. The slide was plainly
visible from the town of Ophir and
those who saw it say it was the largest
they ever witnessed^ it apparently be-

Still Troublesome.
Manila, Feb. 20.—The California vol-
unteers abandoned Guadalupe church
at 5 o'clock yesterday morning, which
has since been set on fire and retired
to San Pedro Maeati. The rebels still
hold the country Tn the vicinity of
Guadalupe, Pasig and Patero, despite
the efforts of the gunboats to dislodge
them from the jungle oh both sides of
the river.
The heat is intense. Under present
conditions it is impossible to provide
shade for the troops in certain parts
of the line, particularly McArthur’s
division. King’s brigade is also ex
posed from San Pedro Maeati to Culi-
culi, where it joins Ovenshine’s brig-
ade.
The Buffalo’s searchlight discover-
ing the rebels unusually active about
10 o’clock in the evening, signaled the
flagship for permission to fire upon
them, and this being granted, bom-
barded the enemy’s trenches for
twenty minutes. The only effect of
the fire was apparently to drive the
rebels further inland. Beyond a Tew
ineffetual volleys from the trenches,
which were returned with interest, the
enemy made no demonstration and ail
is quiet along the rest of the line.
Scouts claim to have seen Gen. Pio
Del Pilar, who commanded the rebels
at Paco, with his arm in a sling di-
recting the troops. Gen. Montenegro,
the insurgent commander-In-chief, is
reported to be personally conducting
the movements in front of Gen. King's
line at San Pedro Maeati. The sig-
nal corps is arranging signals with
the navy for future operations on the
left. With the exception of the Port
of Iloilo, trade with Philippine ports
is still blockaded.

sudden, for the two latest additions
to the Filipino embassy in the United
States, E. R. De Rios and H. Revera.

'Sudden Attack.
Paris, Feb. 18.—The Figaro at-
tributes the death of M. Faure to a
sudden violent attack of angina pec-
toris.
M. Del Casse, the minister of foreign
affairs, telegraphed to the foreign sov-#
ereigns informing them of the
president’s death.
M. Meline, in the course of a con-
versation with a press reporter, said
that the president himself recently in-
formed him that for a long time he
had been suffering from heart trouble
which had caused him cruel pain.
M. Casimir-Perier, upon learning of
the calamity expressed profound grief.
He called at the Elysee to present his
condolence to Mme and Mile. Faure.
Dr. Lanne-Longue, in an interview
had with him by a representative of
Echo de Paris, said:
When I entered the room the pres-
ident was already conscious of the se-
riousness of his condition and said:
‘I am very sick.’
‘As a matter of fact, from the first
there was no hope. Ataxy supervened
almost immediately and was followed
by paralysis of the left side. Finally
the patient fell into absolute coma and
died at 10:30. He was unable to speak
during the last moments.
“To sum up, it was a sudden attack
and from the first all efforts were use-
less. The president did not experience
any premonitory symptoms. He had
only a slight loss of appetite, which
could not cause alarm, and I was much
surprised to see him thus struck down.
He had not recently had any official
fatigue, but the Fashoda affair had
greatly disturbed him. The Dreyfus
matter had also caused him real grief,
and he was very anxious regarding the
home and foreign situation in France.
FIoo'I at Richmond.
Richmond, Va., Feb. 18.—The situa-
tion here last night was pitiable and
alarming. The fear of high water has
been realized and the rush of the in-
creased volume and the ice from the
upper James, together with the hack-
water from the gorging of the ice be-
low the city, has resulted i none of
the heaviest floods ever known.
The wharves at Rocketts, the land-
ing place for steamers, and the
streets for blocks around are under
water and the Virginia Navigation
company’s wharf has been swept,
away. The depressed section of the
city between Shohocke and Churchills
is also under water and hundreds of
cellars are flooded.
One of the electric light plants is
under water and power and lights are
cut off from certain sections of the
city. The gas-works are momentarily
expected to be overflowed. To add to
the calamity of the night,, the lime and
cement warehouse and coal office of S.
H. Hawse & Co., was totally destroyed
by fire. Loss $25,000, insured.
