PROPOSITION 10 [HE FILIPINOS Form of Government Pend ing Action of Congress, SIMILAR TO THAT IN CUBA PRESIDENT GOXZAGA ADMITS IT IS LIBERAL. A SPLIT IN THE FILPJNO COMMISSION Ttie Military Operations Continue Wi h Una batfd Vigor. The Only Filipino Troops in the Field Now Those Under Gen erals Luna and Del Pilar. Manila, May 22.—3:1.“ p. in. —Professor Schurman, head of the United States Philippine Commission, lias submitted the l'oHowing written proposition to the Filipinofe: “While the final decision as to the form of Government is in the hands of Con gress, the President, under his military powers, pending the action of Congress, stands ready to offer the following form of Government: “A Governor General, to he appointed h.v the President; a Cabinet to he ap pointed by the Governor General; all the judges to be appointed by the Presi dent ; the heads of departments and judges to either be Americans or Fili pinos or both, and also a General Advis ory Council, its members to bo chosen by the people by a form of suffrage to he hereafter carefully determined upon. “The President earnestly desires that bloodshed cease and that, the people of the Philippines at an early date may enjoy the largest measures of self-gov ernment compatible with peace and or der.” The United States Commission pre pared the scheme and the President ra ided- Ids approval of the form of the document. The Filipinos have made no definite proposition, except for a cessation of hos tilities until they eau present tin* ques tion of peace to the people. Professor Schurman told the Filipinos they had no means of gathering the people together, as the America ns control most of the ports, lie also reminded them that a liberal form of government was offered them, and pointed out that it was better Ilian the conditions existing under Span ish rule. Gonzaga, President of tin* Filipino Commission, replied that nothing could be worse than Spanish rule, and admit ted that the form of government propos ed was liberal. The civilian members of the Filipino Commission have declined to co-operate with the other members of the commis sion, as the former consider Aguinaldo’s latest demand to la* preposterous, after Major General Otis’ refusal, referring to his wish for time in order to consult with the Filipino Congress. After a conference with the United States Commissioners, the Filipino Com missioners will lunch with Professor Schurman, and will afterwards visit the vessels conqtosing the American fleet. CONDITIONS IMPROVE DAILY. Washington. May 22.—The War De partment has received the following from General Otrs: “Manila. May 22ii<l. "Adjutant General; Washington. “Conditions as follows: "In Bulacan Province, troops main tained at Quinga. Balsivag, San Miguel, Lawton proceeding down Rio Grande from San Isi'dro: has driven enemy west ward from San Antonio, Cariao and ATayat, where he was joined yesterday by KoUlk*’s column; will reach Santa Ana and Canilaba today. Mae Arthur still at San Fernando and will occupy cith*s south and westward: insurgent forces disintegrating daily. Luna’s force at Tarim* much diminished: has de stroyed several miles railway in his front ; numlier of officers of rank have deserted Luna and few have entered Manila for protection; in I'ampanga and Bulacan inhabitants returning to homes only fear insurgent troops south of Manila; insur gent disnntcgration progressing though large force still maintained: conditions improving daily; send battalion troops and gunboat to X'ogros tomorrow to allay excitement in southern portion of island and west coast of Cebu. Have denied request of Aguiualdo’s commissioners for armistice.” DEMORALIZATION OF THE FOE. Manila. May 22. -2:18 p. in.—ln spite of the presence of the Filipino Commis sioners iu Manila, the military opera tions continue with unabated vigor. The visitors were apparently ignorant of the true condition of affairs here. Upon their arrival they were immediate ly inundated with invitations covering both day and night, and express sur prise at the condition of affairs within our lines. They had been led to believe that everything was chaotic, and are de lighted at the reception accorded them. Reports received from persons who have arrived from tin* interior show that no troops are left in the northern prov ince. They were all drafted south after the outbreak of the war. The villages on the west 'coast arc almost deserted, and the Uocanos, especially, are desirous of joining the Americans, if only for the pnrnose of crushing the Tagals. Many natives of Benguot and Ilocos said that if the Americans had not arrive'd civil war would necessarily have ensued, ow iug to tin* friction between the Tagalogs and the inhabitants of other provinces. It is added that the only Filipino troops now lert are 7.000 men under Gen eral Luna at Turkic, and about 4.000 un der General Pio del Pilar. Even these are demoralized, and short of arms and supplies. Many of their rifles are dis abled. and the Filipinos are unable to re pair them, owing to the lack of mechan ics and materials for so doing. A coasting steamer which has arrived here reports that the Spanish garrison at Zamboanga. Island of Mindanao, is held by the rebels in much the same manner as the Americans held them while they were in the vicinity of Ma nila. Every night the Spaniards an* subjected to an ineffectual fnsiladc, and if they are not soon relieved they will be reduced to the condition of the Span ish garrison at 1 Iloilo just previous to its evacuation of that place. GOVERNMENT FOR PHILIPPINES. Washington, May 22. —-The from Manila that a form of govei n ment has been proposed to tin* Fili pinos including* a Governor General. Cabinet and advisory council is con firmed at the State Department. Tin* plan is the outgrowth of numerous cable and mail exchanges between President Schurman of the Philippine commission, and Secretary Hay. as well as advices from General Otis and Admiral Dewey. Like the Cuban sys tem. the administration would lx* military in character for the time be ing. at least while conditions were unsettled. The authorities here are acting on the theory that, as in tin* ease of Porto Rico, it will be for Congress to establish tin* permanent form of Government for the islands. It was understood at the time Major General lAiwton went to Manila that General Otis would become Governor General, while General Lawton as sumed active direction of military af fairs. It is not improbable that this plan might be carried out if the Filipinos accept the plan now pro posed. SINKING OF SAN JACINTO THE REPORT I? DISCRtCI ED BY WASH INGTON OFFICIMS. It Was S'ated Jhe San Lcinto, of N caragua, Had Fired m the Cruiser Detroit. Colon, Columbia, May 22. Via Gal veston, Tex., May 22. —A passenger who arrived here from Boeas del Toro is alone responsible for the rumor that the Nicaraguan gun vessel San Jacinto had been sunk by the United ! States cruiser Detroit, after flit* for mer had fired upon the American warship. He says the report was generally discredited at Boeas del Toro and that it probably came from Minefields, where the Detroit and San Jacinto are suposed to be. The officials of the American con sulate here are without news of any such event as the sinking of the San Jacinto by the Detroit. NOTHIXG KNOWN OF AFFAIR. Washington, May 22.—The Navy De partment has had no reports from the captain of the Detroit of any diffi culty with the Nicaraguan officials or of any collision with the Nicara guan gunboat San Jacinto. The offi cials of the Navigation Bureau express their disbelief in the report of a con flict between the Detroit and this gunboat. Secretary Ilay also said that no word had been received at the State Department on the subject and there fore he was not prepared to believe that anything of the kind had occur red. LEFT DEATH IX ITS TRACK. A Torpedo Passes Over Part of Texas. Killing Many. lloutson, Tex., May 22. —One of the worst tornadoes that, has visited Tex as since the storm destroyed the lowii of Cisco, three years ago and in which some fifty people were kill ed, passed o\er Titus and Erath coun ties Sunday. At Mount Pleasant, Titus county, flic storm struck a church just as ser vices were closing.

RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, TUESDAY MORNING. MAY 23, 1899. DEMOCRATS TO MEET IT ST, LOUIS National Democratic Com mittee to Confer. PLANS FOR THE FUTURE CALL ISSUED FOR AN INFORMAL CONFERENCE. BRYAN WILL BE IN THE CIIY AT THE TIME Also 0 h a r Leaders of the Party, Who, Like Himself, Will Attend a Banquet Given by the Jefferson Club of S'. Louis. Milwaukee, Wis., May 22.—Edward C. Wall. National Democratic* Commit teeman of Wisconsin, today made pub lic the call for a conference of the members of the National Democratic Committee at St. Louis on May 25th. While the announcement of the call was published some time ago, the fuli text is printed today for the first time. The call, dated at St. Louis, was is sued on May 4th and is signed by AY. J. Stone ai.'d o G. Johnson, the for mer having been designated as'neting Chairman of the National Committee by Chairman Jones Liefore his depar ture "or Eurone In part the letter to the National Committeeman reads: “We believe the members of the Naiior.nl C mini it tee should meet at an early day for conference with a view to reaching some understanding as to future operations. We have no authority, of course, to assemble the committee in a regular meeting, but we have thought it would be proper and wise to write to members of tin committee individually and suggest an informal conference. “It so happens that the Jefferson Club of St. Louis, representing the Missouri Democracy, will give a din ner in this city on May 25th, to which some 1,50(1 persons will be invited Mr. Bryan and other leading men of the party will attend this dinner and for mal invitations will be srnt t« each member of the national committee. As St. Louis is a central and convenient point we have concluded to write members of the committee and invite them to meet ns here on the morning of the 25th instant, at the Planters’ House, where we can spend the day in discussing party* affairs and ar range our future work. There are a number of important matters which ought to receive the at envion of the committee, and we lieliev* great goo ! would result from such a conference as we propose.” • NEGRO PREACHER’S DENIAL. Defends His Own People and Whites Against Newspaper’s Charge. Minneapolis, Minn., May 22.—Before the Presbyterian General Assembly today Rev. AY. H. Franklin, a colored minister of Rogerville, Tenn., read an excerpt from a local paper which said that no colored member of the Assem bly had yet spoken in the debates on account of the fear inspired by the recent outrages in the South, not knowing but they might be held to painful account when they return. Mr. Franklin stated that the article was without foundation and that in justice to the colored members of the Asembly and the people of Presbyter ies which had returned colored com missioners, there should lie a public* denial. Dr. Franklin explained that in the Presbyteries of llolston and French Broad, from which he comes, there are 24 white and five colored ministers and (>,OOO white and 1,000 colored com municants. yet this overwhelming white majority had sent him as one of the two ministers who represent them. Dr. Franklin then offered resolutions refuting the published statement and explaining that the colored commis sioners were not restrained from de date because of fear. Synodical committees were an nounced and the report of the com mittee on Freedmen was read. After the report, whieli was highly congratulatory to the Freed men’s Board, even though it had ended the year $40,000 in dent instead of free from debt as the other boards are. the roll was called on the apportionment of funds to be raised to cancel the debt. Some of the Presbyterians were assessed nearly $2,000. The Freedmen report would have been adopted without delay had it not been for one section of it which re fers to the recent lynching law out rages in the -South. The ease of the negro is spoken of as one “that ap peals to us with imperious insistence, because of the malefic prejudice and barbaric caste spirit that is (today devising new tortures for the negro’s body and new terrors for bis soul. AYe join heartily with our fellow citi zens and fellow Christians of the South in horror of these dreadful manifestations.” One commissioner expressed a fear that while it was indisputable that the committee had mentioned nothing but well known facts in referring to the outrages, it might not be wise to let that portion of the report yo out as the pronouncement of the Assem ble until it had been debated. It might be unwise to take any notice of tin* outrages,for fear of aggravating race and sectional differences. The question was taken up later as a spe cial order. Rev. Graham ('. Campbell, of Burke ville, Ya„ warned Presbyterians against giving money t<*> Booker AAash ington. He said Mr. Washington was doing a grand work. But. who would carry it on, he asked, after AA’asli ington had gone? In many regions it had been found that Mr. Washington's young men had taken from Presby terians all their money for the Freed men’s Board. The board could- spend tin* money to just as good advantage as Mr. AAashington and was a perpet ual organization. TWO HORRIBLE CRIMES. • Seattle. Wash., May 22.—The British steamer Caroline brings from Honolulu the story of a horrible crime which oc curred at AA'aimca. May 2nd. Tin* wife of a ranchman killed her little step daughter by brutally beating her with a heavy stick. The crime was witnessed by a youngster who went to a neighbor's house and told the story. So enraged was the woman of the house on hearing of the crime that she rushed to the other woman's cabin, bent on punishing the stepmother. Sin* did not attack the mur deress, but. dashing through the door, caught up tin* woman’s own child, also a little girl, and threw tin* little one head first against the wall, breaking her neck. The two women soon came to realize the enormity of their crimes and buried the children together. They swore the other child to secrecy, but it was told to other neighbors and the women were arrested. BOLmS THE CONSPIRATORS. London, May 2.'!.—The Johannes burg correspondent of tin* Morning Post, in a dispatch dealing with the recent arrest of former British offi cers, on charge of a conspiracy to promote a rising, says he is now con vinced that the conspiracy was pri marily formed by Boer officials. FLAMES SWEPT DAWSON FOUR MILLION DOLLAR LCSS IN THE KLONDYKt METFOPOLIS. The Heart of the Town in Athts. Fire Caused by a Drui ken Woman. One Hundred and ELven Buildings Destroyed. Victoria, B. ('.. May 22.—The main IHirtkm of tlie city of Dawson was d<- istroyiil by tin* on April 2d. causing a loss of $4,000,000. In all 111 buildings. I including the Bank of British North America, were burned. The news was brought down! by L. S. Hume, a «ou of Mayor Hume, of Seattle; J. Toklas. and a third party, who left Dawson on April 27th and made their way out by -canoe to Lake Lobargo and then over the ice, having a most perilous trip. Toklas reports that the fire occurred in the very heart of tin* business center of the city, near the opera house on tlw* water front, and, driven by a strong north wind, destroyed everything in its way on that street down to and including Donahue and Smith's establishment. The fire then took in all of tin* water front buildings abreast of the same blocks. It crossed the street, burned through and spread over to Second street, converting to ashes the principal business portion of Dawson. The fire consumed everything from Timmons’ Royal Case down to opposite the Fairview Hotel. The flames spread with such rapidity that the citizens ap peared panic-stricken and unable to save anything in the way of furniture, goods, and clothing. It is seated that the fire was started by the upsetting of a lamp by a drunken woman in a house of ill-fame. FURTHER DETAILS OF FIRE. A'ietoria. B. (’.. May 22. —No further details of the Dawson tire have been re ceived. Tile, only accident known to have occurred befell a fireman who was severely hurt 'about the nend by a blazing log which was blown from a burning building.

A reiMHt is also current imp that only the Bank of British North America of the chartered financial institutions was destroyed and not both it and th:* Bank of Commerce. Riley. Toklas and Hume, the men who brought out th<* news of the ere are reported to have collect'd hundreds and even thou saints of dollars as private mail carriers for the prompt delivery of the communications of which they were bearers. One of these was addressed to tin* inspector of the Bank of British North America and consider.!oiy reduces the amount of the bank’s loss by tt.e fire. It is underst tod that The roo id of the bank notes consume ! was d< - strayed with them, bin if is nerthcless quite possible that this wifi .n*r nn r n lost money. WANT the policy defined. Havana. May 22. —Salvador Cisneros (the Marquis of Santa Lucia), who was President of the Cuban Provisional Gov ernment. has published a long statement in the course of which he expresses con fidence in the United States, hut ex plains that the Cubans are "naturally suspicious at the wholly undefined policy.” SUPREME COURT ADJOURNS. AAashington. May 22.—The United States Supreme Court adjourned to day for the term. During the session the court disposed of 519 cases, leav ing 302 cases on the docket. THE PARIS OK THE MANACLES Strikes the Rocks Near the Mohegan Wreck. ALL ON BOARD RESCUED SPLENDID DISCIPLINE AVI IBN THE CRASH CAME. THE DISASTER OCCURRED IN A CUM Had Tnere Been a Storm There Might Have Been a Fearful Loss of Life. Another Effort to Float the Ship Wednes day, Probibly. (Copyright by James Gordon B.,*um?it.) London, May 22. —The dreaded “'Man acles” have seized another victim. Upon one of these cruel rocks off the coast of Cornwall.within sight of tlu* sUU-s’am'Ung masts of tlu* ill-fatedAtlantie liner Mohegan, lies the ningnitieenit American Line steamship Paris, tier double bottom ripped open and two forward compartments full of water. In the darkness early yesterday morn ing, with all her 380 passengers in their berths and most of them 'asleep, tlu* Paris ran on the Manacles, narrowly cleared jagged rocks which had ripped open the Mohegan, went through the only safe channel among the dreaded reefs, and stranded on the Lowlands Point on a fiat rock, right hot wen two high masses of tlu* same formation. •By a merciful combination of circum stances. not a lift* was lost, although it was only by tlu* narrowest chance that an appalling disaster was averted. Tin* most favorable circumstance was that tin* night was calm and tlu* sea so smooth that, even if other aid had not been forthcoming, the Paris’ lmats could have been launched without being jeopardized. Then. too. the tide was Wit bin an hour of full How. All tlu* passengers were rescued and safely landed at the near-by town of Falmouth, England. The mails also were taken there. The Paris still lies upon the rock, but, though slu* rests apparently with an even keel upon a broad, level bed of sunken rock and holds an upright position, fa vored by calm weather, she has evidently sustaimed serious damage. The situation slu* continues to occupy is precarious. Efforts to tow her off failed. At low tide she is so high that an angry sea heating,against her sides would prob ably destroy her. x The passengers will be transferred to tlu* steamer Kaiser AA’iHidlm der Grosso, which will sail AAVdnesday. When the Paris struck there was no excitement, no panic, (’apt. Frederick Watkins, on tin* bridge, gave his orders, the crew went to their stations, pre pared for any emergency, and tlu* pas sengers were assembled in the saloons. Remarkable pluck was shown by all, es pecially tlu* women. At tlu* time the vessel struck the weather was misty. llow the Paris came ft. he so far out of her course is as difficult a problem as was the ease of tin* Mohegan: blit as in flic Mohegan's case, it seems that even apart from navigation the lookout was not as effective as 'if. might have been. A plausible theory is that the passage was a strange one for flu* Paris. Tills is believed to be only 'the second time she has varied tin* voyage from •South ampton by calling alt Cherbourg and it is possible that her officers mistook their calculations, thus taking her fifteen or twenty miles out of her course. The captain of a Falmouth pilot b *at says that St. Anthony's light and tin* coast were clearly visible when tlu* wreck occurred. He say that the Paris was on the wrong course and burned a blue fiame to warn those in charge of the steamship. The Paris proceeded parallel with tin* shore some distance, until she 'struck the rock. Captain AVatkdis and the crew. 327 all told, remain on the* stranded liner, which keeps up her steam, while tugs stand by to render aid in any emergency. An early attempt will la* made to pull the vessel idT the rock. THE PARIS STILL AGROUND. (By Associated Press.) Coveraek. May 22. —The. situation of tlu* American line steamer Paris. Cap tain AA’atkins, which went aground early yesterday morning just off Lowlands Point, remains unchanged. Her cargo is being rapidly discharged. Salvage tugs from Liverpool will arrive at the scene of tin* wreck tonight. It is Isdieved the next attempt to float the Paris will be made on AVedes day. Everything at present seems fa vorable to success. The North German Lloyd steamer Bre iiiiiii arrived at Falmouth this morning under instructions to embark for New York the saloon passengers of the Paris. But. the passengers are not ready to proceed on their voyage, many of them still suffering from shock, so the Bremen continued on her passage westward. Many passengers of the Paris took tlu* train for Southampton this morning where they will await the sailing of Che Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. which is scheduled to sail from Bremen for New York on May 23rd. Travis AV. Foust has been app riute 1 postmaster at Levi. PRICE FIVE CENTS. CIGARETTES AND CRIME. Cincinnati. May 22. The National Convention of Charities and Corrections was addressed today by George Torrence of Pontiac, 111.. Superintendent of tlu* Illinois State Reformatory, on * The Re latiion of the Cigarette to Crime." After reciting his experience with I toys coming to liis institution. Air. Torrence said: "1 am sure cigarettes are destroying and making criminals of more of them than tlu* saloons." In Ids reformatory now there are 278 boys. "Os 03, averaging 12 years of age. 58 were cigarette smokers. Os 133. aver age age 14 years. 12.5 wen* cigarette smokers. Os 82. average age 15 years. 73 were cigarette smokers. This demon strates that 5)2 per cent of the whole ;nun:ber were cigarette fiends al the time of committing crimes for whieli they were committed to the reforma tory. ’’ • The general discussion developed a similar experience with others connected with reformatories for hoys. AGAINST TELEPHONE COMPANY. Washington, May 22. In tlu* United States Supreme Court an opinion was rendered today in the ease of tlu* city of Riehiuond, Ya., against the Southern Bell Telephone and Tele graph Company. The controversy in volved the right of riu* telephone company to locate it*, poles and wires in the streets and alleys of the city regardless of the protest of the loon, municipal authorities, tlu* claim of the telephone company being made under the act of Congress of IMi(> granting such right generally to tele graph companies. The decision was favorable to tlu* contention of the eitv and adverse to the telephone company, the court holding that the concession to tele graph companies could not lie made to include telephone companies. The opinion was handed down by Justice Harlan. TAX ON CORPORATIONS THE NEW YORK LEGISLATURE IN EXTRA ORDINARY SESSION. Governor Foostvelt Declari s Light Tixation of Corporations an Injustice. Should Pay for the Privileges They Enjoy. Albany, X. A'., May 22. —The Stale Legislature met in extraordinary ses sion this evening. In tlu* course of it long message in w hich he discussed, the general problem of taxation in tlu* State, Governor Rosevelt say-: “There is evident injustice m tlu* light taxation of corporations. I have not the slightest sympathy with the ,outcry against corporations ns such, or against prosperous men ol business. To drive out of a com munity the men of means and tlu* men who take the lead in business enter prises would probably entail, as one of its first results, the starvation of a considerable portion of the remainder of the population. "But while I freely admit all this, it yet remains true that a corpora tion which derives its power from the State should pay to the State a tax per rentage of its earnings ns return for the privileges it enjoys. This should be especially true for the fran chises bestowed upon gas companies, street railroads and tin* like. FOUR IN)R THE SUE AKER SI III*. East and AAYst Have En< li Two Candi dates in the Race. Washington. May 21. In the contest for the Speakership of the next Hons * the sectional lines on which it was pre dicted the contest would be waged prom-* iso to be obliterated. Instead of the AA est and East producing a favorite son, two candidates from each section are rivals, not only of those from the other section, but of each other. Starting with the contest apparently between Sherman, of New York, and Hopkins, of Illinois, the situation lias, shifted until in tlu* four-cornered race the honors are apparently easy between Sherman, I’ayne, Hopkins and Henderson. Each claims to be doing as well if not better than he expected, and all four are in earnest. If appearances can be trusted, however, Henderson, of lowa, and Bayne, of New York, are gaining strength at the expense of Hopkins and Sherman, respectively. As it stands now neither of the four can control enough votes to secure the nomination. Some one must give way. ami a union be tweeni file Henderson and oilpkfits or the Bayne and Sherman forces seems probable in the near future. STRIKE AND BLOODSHED. St. Petersburg. May 22.—Advices from Riga, capital of the Baltic Province of Livonia, announces* that on Saturday last the workmen employed in a jute fac tory there struck for higher wages, and. joining with the workmen of the Phoe nix Arms Factory, destroyed and burned a number of houses, mid fought tin* po lice and military. The latter finally tri umphed after killing several workmen. Vigorous measures have been ’ taken against the leaders of the disturbance. THREATS OF LYNCHING. PainesviHe, Ohio, May 22. —A mob of 500 perpie lias collected here and threats are heard of lynching Kelly, colored, who is charged with assaulting Mrs. Y» iiliel uiina Nicker, of Cleveland. The sheriff is swearing in deputies to guard th* jail.
