As Germany has now only one vessel at Apia and the British government two. no complaint is expected of the presence in that harbor of at least one United States vessel. The Philadelphia was to have left San Diego yesterday. but was detained by the nonappearance cf Chief Engineer Bates, who was ordered from the Texas at Havana overland from New Orleans to the Philadelphia, and who. it was supposed, had already reached the ship. • * * The record of the c6urt-martial in the case of Commissary General Kagan was placed in the hands of .Judge Advocate General Lieber to-day for review.

My calling the board was unnecessary, but deemed a wise precaution.” * * * General Thaddeus H. Stanton, paymaster general of the army, was retired at noon to-day in conformity with the age requirements of the service. The occasion was taken advantage of by the officers of the paymasters’ department, in Washington, to present their retiring chief a silver laving cup as a mark of their personal regard and appreciation of his public services. The ceremony occurred in General Stanton’s office. The room was filled with his old army friends and associates, while the doorways were crowded with clerks and other subordinates. Major George W. Baird made a brief address, referring to General Stanton’s long term of active service, extending from the civil war through all of the Indian wars of the West and concluding with the recent successful war with Spain. During all this time, Major Baird remarked, the paymaster general’s office always had been fully competent In the discharge of all its duties and never had been the subject of official investigation. Os the $66,500,000 that had been disbursed by General Stanton not a single cent had ever gone astray nor been subject to official question. General Stanton responded, thanking his fellow-officers for the hearty support they had always accorded him and ended by presenting them Colonel Carey, his successor In office. ♦ * ♦ The board consisting of Generals Schwan and Boynton and Colonel Carter, which has been for some time past arranging the list of army officers to be recommended for brevets, having completed that portion of the work involving the Santiago campaign, it was to-day forwarded to the Senate for confirmation of the names. The board was guided by the following rules in making up the lists: For the Santiago campaign one brevet to be awarded to each officer recommended, giving, as far as possible, the date of July 1, 1898, when the principal action of this campaign took place, as the date to be borne on the brevet commission. Regular officers serving as volunteers to *be breveted as volunteers, those serving with the regulars to be breveted in the regular service. The board also decided to regard the La Guasima fight of June 24, 1898, as a separate and distinct battle from the engagements fought near Santiago. The board also decided not to recommend brevets for those officers who were promoted to be general officers of volunteers for services in these campaigns. The board has carefully considered all the reports which have come into Its possession and recommends that brevets be bestowed for services as specified in each case. The list, which is very long, includes most of the officers participating in the campaign. Among the names appear those of Lieutenant General W. R. Shatter. I.ieut. Col. J. J. Astor, Capt.

Woodford, in which he says he finds the newspapers attribute to him certain statements with regard to the supply of ammunition in the navy during the war “which are so erroneous that I can not believe you have been correctly reported. I have asked the Bureau of Ordnance to give me the exact facts, and inclose you a copy of its statement. 1 am sure you will be glad to read it.” The statement referred to shows that every vessel was practically filled up with her allowance of ammunition. * * • The United States Court adjourned to-day until Monday, Feb. 20.

ACONCILLO’S LATEST ANOTHER COMMUNICATION FROM GEN. AGI INAEDO'S ENVOY. He Defer* Hi* I itlmntnm, but Prote*t* Against Our Attitude Towards the Filipino “Republic.” MEMORIAL TO THE SENATE ASKING THAT BODY NOT TO RATIFY THE PEACE TREATY. Young Spanish Girl* Alleged to Be Cruelly Treated by the Philippine InsurgentsWASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Sixto Lopez, secretary to Agoncillo, the Philippine representative here, called at the State Department about 3 o'clock this afternoon and left with the chief clerk another communication addressed to the secretary of state protesting against the attitude of our government towards the Filipino “republic.” The terms of the protest do not go as far as an ultimatum. Tho same fate awaits this communication as that which befel its predecessor—it will be diplomatically ignored. Accompanying the communication is a long memorial addressed to the Senate containing a comprehensive argument in opposition to the ratification of the treaty and which the envoy asks the President to send to that body. The letter of transmittal contains more than the mere request, but Agcncillo feels that he is bound by courtesy not to make it public until an opportunity is had by the State Department officials to make a reply. The memorial to the Senate is a long document, both historical and argumentative in character, and is a protest that this government has no jurisdiction, natural or acquired, through any of its agencies to adjudicate in any manner upon the rights of the Philippine country and its people. He refers to the "historical fact that a large number of my countrymen have never been subdued by Spanish power, and as against their liberties, the oppressive arm of Spain has never been able to sustain itself; that the remainder, because of their adhesion to tho cause of liberty, have been in almost constant insurrection against the government of Spain; those conflicts existing continuously wdth greater or less fury for the past hundred years.” The impression, he continues, has been created in America that at the time of the declaration of war between America and Spain the Philippine revolution no longer existed. He quotes from communications from Consul General Williams at Manila and Mr. Pratt, as a result of which Agoncillo says that “without additional authority, it must be evident to your honorable body that an extensive revolution existed in the Philippine islands at the time of the declaration of war by America against Spain.” The purpose of the Filipino patriots in conducting this revolution was, it is asserted, to secure the complete independence of their country, and in this effort they received the encouragement of the United States, and were never informed that the obtaining and preservation of such independence would be regarded as a hostile act by America, and they never believed that their struggle in such a cause would lead to enormous aggregations of American armies and navies at their doors. Additional historical facts are here presented and quotations made from manifestos of the Filipinos and from other documents, from whien, says the envoy, it must appear “that the Philippine nation has achieved its independence free from any danger of losing it at the hands of the Spaniards prior even to the signing of the protocol.” Spain having been driven away from the islands and tne inhabitants having established a government satisfactory to themselves, and maintaining order throughout the territories, what justification, Agoncillo asks, can any other nation advance for interfering with his country or refusing to extend toward it the obligations of international laws? Could Spain, he asks, give to any nation a better right than she possessed? She could not confer possession, for she did not enjoy it, and any former right of possession claimed by her had been extinguished by the destruction of her sovereignty. Bearing on the discussion of tho question whether the American government can acquire right to the Philippines from Spain by treaty, the memorial calls attention to "several notable and exact American precedents,” and Agoncillo says he could ask for his country "no better fortune than to have the Republic of America as at present constituted adhere to the teachings of International law as laid down by some of its founders." Senor Agoncillo. In conclusion, summarizes the various reasons set out in detail why the treaty should not be ratified, and expresses an earnest hope that the representations he has ventured to make will receive the grave consideration of the Senate before final action is taken upon the treaty, which contains so much of consequence to his people.

BRUTAL FILIPINOS. Aguinnlilo’s Soldiers Alleged to Be Shnincfnlly Treating Girls. NEW Y'ORK. Jan. 30.—A dispatch from Manila says: “The Spanish civil prisoners have not yet been released. Tales of suffering, hunger and dishonor come from the province. Y’ourig Spanish girls are forced to live in open shame with low-born Indians. Their parents, being powerless, appealed to Aguinaldo. His reply was a letter from a dishonored chirfl— exacted after God knows what suffering—saying she Is happy and content. Ladies have suffered dishonor to save their husbands from cruel treatment. Five priests have died in one province from hunger and cruelty, although $60,000 had been sent by the corporation .for their maintenance. Appeal to the American Nation in the name of God to stop the tragedy.” A dispatch from Madrid says; A general who has lived for some years in the Philippine islands said in an interview: ’The Americans are making two mistakes in connection with the Philippine question. First, they are giving Aguinaldo and his followers time to organize their forces and propagate the idea of independence among the Malays; st#ond, in the attribution of all the importance of the archipelago to the island of Luzon alone. If the Americans occupied the other islands in an effective manner, making it clear to the Tagalos that their occupation is definite and permanent, the moral effect on the Malays would lie very important. especially in the case of the halfcastes and rich planters, who dread war. The Americans are mistaken if they think that, without giving the natives a severe lesson, they cun get a firm footing in Luzon. The Malay is a barbarian, obedient only to the impulses of fanaticism and fear of punishment.’ ” 4. MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS. Third Expedition to Manila—-The Oldest Regiment’s Frosty Farewell.

Buck, a watchmaker, of Thompsonville, Conn., has invented a rotary cylinder which is designed to increase the speed of steamships 50 per cent, and at the same time do away entirely with the vibration of vessels. His method is to utilize all the expansion of steam for driving power, thus avoiding the waste, which in the cylinders now in use is computed at 98 per cent. It is this waste which requires the enormous coal consumption of modern steam vessels and the appropriation of an abnormally large space in the vessel's hull for coal bunkers. Mr. Buck has opened negotiations with the British government. as a result an engineer came here lrom England about one month ago and met Mr. Luck and saw his model. The British agent tested it very thoroughly and approved it. He went back to England about two weeks ago, taking a duplicate model with him, having first, acting in accordance with his instructions, made the following contract with the inventor: “The board of admiralty is to construct a cylinder and test it thoroughly for six days. If at the end of this time it be adjudged successful, Mr. Buck is to get $9,000,euu. it a second test of sixty days is liKewise successful he is to get an additional s9,duo,u>o and a final successful test of ninety days' duration is to bring an additional slu,ojo,Oa), or $2,0w),0u) in all. It is the purpose of the British government to use the cylinder in their warships.’’ RARE SURGICAL OPERATION. Tumor Successfully Removed from the Hruln of a Butcher.
