ties In the beforementloned provinces, desirous of interpreting the sentiments that animate those by whom they have been chosen, having proclaimed the independence of the Philippines, have requested the revolutionary government to entreat and pray of the foreign governments the acknowledgment of the belligerency and Independence of the Philippines. “To prove the complete security in which the Filipinos now live, how they are both able and willing to govern themselves the accompanying document, signed by the chi#fs, is submitted with this appeal. Exercising the authority invested in me as President of- the revolutionary government of the Philippines, and in the name and as repreeentative of this people, I implore the aid of all the powers of the civilized world and beg them earnestly to proceed with the formal recognition of the belligerency of the Philippines and independence of the government. "The powers are the means designated by Providence to maintain the equilibrium between peoples, supporting the weak and checking the strong, and thus by this means there will be realized complete justice and Indefinite progress of humanity. "KMILO AGUINALDO. “Bacoor, Aug. 6, 1888.” DECLARATION OP THE CHIEFS. Aguin&ldo's appeal is based on the following action of the chiefs: "The undersigned chiefs of the communities which comprise the provinces in which the revolutionary government is established, elected as representatives of the people in the manner prescribed by the decrees of June 18 and 23 and having been confirmed by the President and taken the oath of office, have met in general assembly and solemnly proclaimed Philippine independence. With this proclamation they make the following declaration: With an Improvised and unprepared army the revolutionists have shown great bravery, giving examples of brilliant feats of arms and exercised a selfcontrol which finds no parallel. After practically terminating the war they did not give way to excesses or ill treat the enemy. On the contrary, they conducted themselves as becomes' a noble and humane people. They put aside their arms and returned to their regular occupations. These facts clearly prove that the Filipinos were not created for slavery, but possess a perfect idea of order and justice. They shun savage life and love the arm of peace. Furthermore, surprising as it may seem, the Filipinos are giving proof of their ability to make laws in harmony with the march of time. They know how' to respect and obey the law—an indication that their national habits are Inclined to progress. They are not ambitious for power, honor or riches; they are solely Influenced by a Just desire for liberty and self-government. They are inspired by the highest patriotism and honor, and in the cause of liberty did not hesitate to sacrifice both life and fortune. This admirable characteristic proves clearly the necessity of giving them liberty and independenee. Not only do they desire it, but they stand ready to defend their liberty until death. "The Filipinos are convinced that liberty w'ill result in the progress and perfection of the people, and will enable the country to contribute to the progress of humanity. To accomplish this end the Filipinos tight to the death, and will not recede from any obstacle that may oppose their progress, and we are firmly convinced we will obtain justice In the end. Neither the unjust imprisonments, the tortures, assassinations, and other acts of tyranny committed by the Spaniards on the peaceful, inoffensive Filipinos, cause them to deviate from the humane paths which they have chosen. The Spaniards consider themselves absolved from all obligations to us, because foreign powers refused to acknowledge our belligerency. The Spaniards did not consider that education, national honor, and humanity are above laws written and unwritten. No. the Filipinos will never retaliate in like upon the Spaniards, and they only seek independenee with honor, liberty, just laws, and a desire that their name shall be coupled with humanitarian sentiments. "In virtue of the above statement, the undersigned, expressing the desire of their committee, hereby solemnly proclaim before the whole world the independence of the Philippines. They acknowledge Emilo Agulnaldo as President of the revolutionary government, and they hereby request the said President to ask for recognition of belligerency and the formal acknowledgment of independence, not only because these acts involve an obligation of justice, but because no one should be allowed to contravene natural laws, or suppress the legitimate aspirations of a people striving for liberty. “Done at Cavite. Aug. 1. 1898. "LEANDRO IRANA, "Secretary of Interior. “EMIIX) AGUINALDO, “Revolutionary President. “And ISO leauers in the provinces enumerated.” NO OFFICIAL STANDING. Agrninaldo** Envoys Will Be Received Merely as Individuals. WASHINGTON. Sept. 23.—1 t is probable that if Agoncello and Lopez, the two representatives of Aguinaldo, w’ho arrived yesterday at San Francisco, will call at the White House on their way through Washington to Paris, they will be admitted to see President McKinley, but only as Individuals and not as representatives of any government. The President doubtless would be glad to hear any views these Filipinos might care to set forth, being fresh from the islands and thoroughly acquainted with the •wishes of the Insurgents. But it w’ould be plainly impolitic and inconsistent for the President, at this date, and pending the conclusion of the peace conference at Paris, to allow it to be understood, by according a formal reception to the delegates, that he had thereby recognized the Philippine government as an independent nationality. His attitude towards the Filipinos would be similar to that assumed by him towards the Cubans. As the Filipinos have repeatedly by public declaration sought to convey the Impression that the United States representatives in Manila have at some time during the progress of the war recognized Aguinaldo as an independent ally and entered into formal co-operation with him. It may be stated that the government at Washington is unaware that any such thing has happened. Admiral Dewey who was In command of all the United States forces during the most critical period, expressly cabled the secretary of the navy that he had entered Into no formal agreement with Aguinaldo. If General Otis followed his instructions, and of that there can be no doubt, he also refrained from entering into any entangling agreements. As for Consul General Wildman, any undertaking he may have assumed with Aguinaldo must have been upon his own. personal and individual responsibility and would be without a formal standing, inasmuch as he had not the express authorization from the State Department absolutely requisite to negotiations in such cases. Therefore, as the case now stands, the peace commissioners are free to deal with the Philippines problem at Paris absolutely without restriction beyond that which might be supposed to rise from a sense of moral obligation to avoid committing the Filipinos again into the hands of their late rulers.

SHIPPING AT MANILA. About f1.500,000 Worth Taken by Dewey—Resumption of Business. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Sept. 23.—An Associated Press correspondent, writing from Manila under date of Aug. 30. says: "The work of setting the wheels of business in the harbor of Manila in motion has been intrusted to Captain Henry Glass, of the United States steamer Charleston. One of his duties was that of taking an inventory' of all the shipping that fell into Admiral Dewey’s hands on the 14th inst. This includes everything afloat, either on the bay or river, which means a radius of forty miles, and its value is about $1,500,000. To aid Captain Glass and Lieutenant Braunersreuther in the work five officers were detailed from Admiral Dewey’s fleet. Ensign Moffat has been busy with guncotton and dynamite blowing up’ the wrecks that were sunk In the Pasig river and the outer harbor, and of the twenty or thirty wrecks In the river nearly all have been destroyed, so that ships drawing fifteen feet of water may now enter and come to its wharves. Lieutenant McMillen, late of the f;n Francisco hydrographic office, is in charge of the weather bureau, buoys and lights and the hydrography of the harbor generally. The shipping in the river is under lieutenant Marcus Mi..er and Lieutenant F. M. Wall is the boarding officer. Lieut. J. T. Meyers, of the marine corps, is in charge of ail the prizes. The natives are rushing to the office of the captain of the port with all sorts of complaints, so that the place is at once a jusuce court and entry and clearing office for vessels.” Where the Transports Are. BAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23.-The transports Para, Newport, Valencia, Rio de Janeiro, Ohio, Morgan City and Pennsylvania were all in Manila when the China left. TM Newport and Para were then ready to r J a to San Franciso. The Oceanica Sit.—Jhip Company’s steamer Zelandia, which carried part of the second expedition

to the Philippines. Is In the dry docks at Nagasaki, having been injured in a typhoon. She lost her rudderhead and her machinery was damaged. The gunboat Yorktown, which has been lying at Mare island for several months, will be placed in commission in about two weeks. After coaling she will sail on the Asiatic station, possibly to Manila. The old man-of-war Mohican, now at Mare island, will go out of commission in about two weeks, and it is doubtful if she will ever see service again. The Mohican was aground at Honolulu, and the pumps w r ere kept, pretty busy on the voyage to this port. OBITUARY. Rlclinrd Malcolm Johnston, n Distinguished Lecturer and Novelist. BALTIMORE, Md., Sept. 23.—C01. Richard Malcolm Johnston, the lecturer and novelist, died in this city this afternoon after an illness of several months. Colonel Johnston was born in Hancock county, Georgia, on March 8, 1822. Through his mother, Catherine Davenport, a native of Virginia, he was descended from the distinguished English family of that name who were among the early settlers of Connecticut. On his father’s side Mr. Johnston was descended from Rev. Thomas Johnston, a clergyman of the Church of England who came from Scotland and settled in Virginia. He was the great-grandfather of the novelist. In 1779 William Johnston settled in Georgia, and from him the Georgia branch of the family sprang. Colonel Johnston’s early life was spent in Georgia. There he was prepared for college and he learned his classics at Mercer from which he was graduated in 1841. He taught for a time and then became a lawyer. In 1844 he married Miss Frances Mansfield, who was not yet sixteen years old. He became the professor of literature at the Georgia State University and afterward opened a school of his own. Next he removed to Maryland, and there he taught until his success as a describer of ante-hellurn negro character determined his life work as that of letters. The first stories that were written by Col. Johnston were not intended for publication but were worked out merely for his own gratification. "Dukcsborough Tales” has few equals in its line and no superior in all the wide range of letters devoted to description of the Southern negro. He published many of his stories under the pen name of Philemon Perch in the Southern Magazine. For these early efforts he received no pay whatever, but this' was made up by the goodly sums his stories afterward brought him. Besides "Dukesborough Tales” he produced M Mr. Neelus Peeler’s Condition,” "Studies. Literary and Social,” a “History of English Literature” and a "Life of Alexander Stevens.” Colonel Johnston had a family of three sons, four daughters and a number of grandchildren. He was a devout Roman Catholic, a convert drawn to the church by the bitterness he saw in a “Knownothing” campaign, and one of his sons is a priest now in charge of a church at Hyattsville, Md. Those who have known him well say that no gentler man lived than Richard Malcolm Johnston. Andrew Judson Wliite. LONDON, Sept. 23. —Andrew Judson White, of New York, died of paralysis today in this city. Andrew Judson White had for many years been identified with the wholesale drug business of New York.

In 181*4 Mr. White endowed a dormitory at Yale University, which was named for him. Robert Roberts.

Quantity of Plunder Found at a Montpelier Mun’ii House. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Sept. 23.—Yesterday B. D. Wydler, a prominent resident of Montpelier, was arrested for robbery.

A search warrant was issued and Wydler's premises were searched while he was attending the Warren fair. In his house and barn were ever two drayloads of the farm machinery and all sorts of other property, the ownership of which has not been determined. The property is valued at SI,OOO.

The business man is a man of promience, of an old and respected family, and some very damaging evidence has been discovered that will make it difficult for him to satisfactorily explain his connection with the affair.

SOLDIERS AXD THEIR FEVERS. lloM|4ilal Physician Discourses Upon Typhoid and Muiuria. Philadelphia Press. Dr. J. V. Shoemaker, president of the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital, furnishes tne lollowing interesting facts concerning fever among the returned soldiers: Among the soldiers now under treatment at the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital a large majority are suffering from fever. There is a class of fevers in which the elevation of temperature is the predominant symptom. Ihese diseases are termed essential fevers, and they fall into two varieties, the continuous and periodical fevers. Os the former variety typhoid fever is the great example, and of the tetter malaria is the type. These are the diseases which have stricken down so many of our soldiers. Typhoid and material fevers are distinguished by their course, symptoms and temperature record. In typhoid the beginning is insidious. The early symptoms are not alarming. The temperature, however, ascends gradually for the first week. Every evening, as recorded by the thermometer, it is one degree Fahrenheit higher than upon the day before at the same hour. The morning temperature is rather less than that of the evening, but also mounts in the same steady manner. During the second week the temperature remains at a uniform height, which may r.ot be above 103, but may reach or even exceed 105. In the third and fourth weeks the temperature declines in the same gradual way in which It first reached the maximum. During the second and third week the nervous depression is extreme. The heart Is weak, the patient apathetic, or delirious and restless. The tongue is dry, there *s intestinal ulceration and other symptoms referable to the bowel, with danger of hemorrhage or peri oration. At the end of the first week a valuable sign of tvphoid fever is the occurrence of rose-colored spots upon the abdomen. In malarial fever the rise of temperature is sudden. The attack begins with a decided chill. In the simplest variety of materia the chill is followed by fever and perspiration, after which the temperature falls to normal. There is then a complete intermission for twenty-four or forty-eight hours, when the same cycle recurs. This is known as the Intermittent form. In a second, or remittent, variety the temperature remits—that is, it declines toward, but does not reach, the normal. At certain intervals the symptoms are aggravated. This form is accompanied by considerable disturbance of stomach and bowels, and is. therefore, also called bilious remittent fever. The material fevers of tropical and semi-trop-ical countries are still more severe and run a rapid and violent course. An examination of a number of temperature sheets of patients under treatment in the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital will demonstrate how the curve corresponds to the foregoing description, mounting gradually to a certain point in typhoid fever r.nd rising suddenly to a high figure in malaria. In fact, if the temperature in a continued fever remained as high as the point which it often attains in materia we shoud feel serious apprehension for the life of the patient. But in all, except the most pernicious, forms of malaria we know that the temperature will either intermit or remit. We have likewise in material fever a valuable objective sign which points to the nature of the disease Just as the rose-col-ored spots Indicate the presence of typhoid fever. Enlargement of the spleen is a very significant sign of malaria. TMs sign is always readily obtained by making palpation upon the left side at the lower level of the ribs. The healthy spleen can be outlined by its dullness, but in materia It descends far below the ribs and many extend as far as the brim of the pelvis. We have in recent years gained in our exact knowledge of the cause of these diieuaes. Both are caused by the development within the blood of a certain germ.

The malarial parasite, as It is also termed, may by a suitable process of staining often be demonstrated in a drop of blood taken from the finger of a malarial patient. The bacterium which gives rise to typhoid fever can also be recognized in the blood by following well-known methods. We have, furthermore, gained lately an important aid to our diagnosis of typhoid fever. This la called Widal’s serum diagnosis and depends upon the fact that the blood of an infectious disease, even when largely diluted with water, causes Jhe bacteria which producs the disease to lose their power of motion and become agglutinated together. This is a sign which seldom fails. These microscopical signs are doubtless of much value. To a certain extent the treatment has been the same for our soldier patients. Until the exact diagnosis has been made between typhoid and malarial fever they have received treatment adapted to reduce the temperature and relieve distressing or dangerous symptoms. Fever is allayed and th* patient rendered more comfortable by the use of cold effusions. In the Medloo-Chlrurgical Hospital w# have generally employed the ice pack in temperature exceeding 102 degrees, or water sponged upon the surface, the temperature being that of water drawn from the spigot, or about 68 degrees Fahrenheit. This cold sponge bath was alternated with the alcohol sponge bath, used in the same manner and allowed to evaporate. The evaporation engenders a grateful coolness which was much appreciated by our patients and which had a very beneficial effect. These baths in ordinary cases will answer the same purpose as the general bath and obviate recourse to the latter unless the fever is very high and the nervous prostration very extreme. Another reaion for exercising great care in diagnosis relates to the diet of our patients. While typhoid fever runs we must be on our guard against allowing the patient any solid food. This is on account of the weakened condition of the bowels, which might easily be ruptured. Consequently, while any doubt exists the patient is restricted to milk, broth or some form of liquid food. In typhoid this diet is continued until convalescence. In malaria the demand for liquid food is less peremptory and the patient may be allowed soft and nutritious substances. As regards medicine in malaria, we have one which possesses almost specific power. I refer, of course, to quinine. In typhoid fever we are not so fortunate. In typhoid we depend principally on sponging, bathing and diet. There is no specific remedy capable of destroying the bacillus and cutting short the attack- Drugs are given according to the urgency of certain symptoms or complications. Quinine must bo our sheet anchor In malaria.

“Mr. Dooley” and Mr. Dunne. The Criterion. The author of the intensely funny “Dooley” papers, that are being copied by the New York Journal, World and Sun as fast as they appear in the Chicago Evening Journal, Is one Peter Dunne, a Western journalist of repute, whose habitual cast of countenance is as funereal as that of most newspaper humorists. It Is a fact worth knowing that "Mr. Dooley” has his living counterpart in one James McGarry, a venerable and portly Chicago tavern keeper, whose face and accent are things of exquisite Celtic beauty, and who, since the immortalizing of his racial peculiarities by Mr. Dunne, has vowed that he will drown that writer on sight with a seltzer siphon. As the young man does not drink, he is in no immediate danger. Mr. Dunne himself tells a story of his metropolitan experience that is both amusing and instructive. While in New York recently on a brief vacation he became impressed with the advantages of the city and was minded to stay here. By way of a professional experiment he dashed off a "Dooley” sketch and submitted it to oue of the great dailies. It appeared promptly on the editorial page and the young mar* from Chicago began to feel his oats. A day or two later he met one of ths sages of Park Row. “Lo, Pete!” quoth ths sage, heartily, “glad to see you. Didn’t know you were here. Say, I want to warn you of something. There’s some darned thief on the trying to imitate your ‘Dooley’ sketches. One of ’em was printed day before yesterday.” “Indeed,” responded the outraged author of the original “Dooley,” “what sort of an imitation was It?” “Rotten.” declared the sage promptly, “simply rotten. Not a bit like you,” and ha strolled away blithely. “So.” confessed Dunne afterwards, “I thought that If I could only imitate myself—and poorly at that—ln New York, the West was the best place for me.” And back to Chicago he went. The newspapers that regularly copy "Mr. Dooley” give due credit for the masterpieces to the Chicago Evening Journal, hut never to Peter Dunne. Perhaps that is why he looks so sad. Too Much of a Good Tiling. Boston Transcript. A correspondent wants to know if he la singular in wondering whether patriotic airs, and particularly a recognized national anthem, may not be played too often. Says he: "One wishes to thrill when he hears the strains of the anthem—to be fired with patriotic emotions —yea, even to note a needed stiffening of the eyelids to keep the tears back. But this continual ding-donging of the air cheapens It. We say, as the first strain floats out on the air, ‘Once again!* and turn away Impatiently, instead of standing with reverently bowed heart until Its close. Can we not apply here, ‘Let your moderation be known unto all men’? Or am I materialized—do I need a tonic, or a brain specialist? Je It only my grievance?” There is such a thing as having too much of a good thing. We nung out all our flags all the time, and consequently had no way to celebrate victory or peace. It seems to be a national characteristic. The papers print ordinary events with the largest headlines, and consequently can’t scream properly over a sensation. They are always In a frenzy. If we keep up the frenzy of patriotism all the time, there is danger that the frenzy will become a torpor. A national anthem ought not to be turned into a national bore. Another “Terrible Turk.” NEW YORK, Sept. 23.—There arrived on the Teutonic a giant Turk, named Halil Adali, thirty years of age, six feet six inches in height, weight 360 pounds, and with tremendous muscular development.
