MUCH WOEBIED
Over the Situation Iu the Provirics
- of Gavite.
The Statement that the War Is
Over Is Shown to Be Absurd
v and Without Foundation.
New York December 31. The
World's Hons Eonjj cauhe-eaysr
It is well kDawn here that Geueral
Otis is badly Trorned over the
situation in Cavile province. There
are 2000 organized insurgents in
Cavite and as many peasants have
rifles and are ready to take a shot
at an American whenever oppor
tunity is offered.
Before General Lairton's death
it had been planned that his move-
ment to subjugate Cavite should be
pushed two weeks or longer if nec-
essary. His death has had a bad
effect on the troops and the fight-
ing since them with its list of
American casualties makes the
statement that the war is over seem
absnrd.
Negotiations are said to be in
progress for the surrender of the
province. There has been talk of
this sort before but the negotiations
fell through. If they fall now
General Otis it is said will depend
upon American successes in the
north and famine in the south to
bring about the dispersal of the
southern insnrgenta.
No Manila paper is allowed to
criticise the administration or to
publish "news from the United
States relative to the Phiiippiue
policy of that gorernment.
The $30 reward brings in few
rifles. Outside of the northern
provinces no one is safe without a
good sized military escort.
ANNUAL DINNER.
A.
Texans Will Be Speakers in Chi-
cago Saturday.
ChieagoDec. 31. Arrangements
have been completed for the fourth
annual banquet of the William J
Bryan league of Chicago. It will
be held at the Tromont House
Saturday night and Colonel Bryan
who has attended every feast given
by the organization will be the
guest of honor and principal speak-
er. Plates -will by laid for 500
persons only the experience oi last
year haviug convinced the man-
agers of the affair that it it unwise
to hold the dinner in sections or to
attempt to accommodate all com-
ers. The list of speakers will in-
clude the following: William
Jennings Bryan of Nebraska Cato
Sells of Iowa Carter fl. Harrison
of Chicago Governor Benton Mc-
Millin of Tennessee Senator Char-
les Culberson of Texas ex-Governor
Hogg of Texas James A.

Dr. Hcwark S. Taylor of Chicago.
GERMANY AROUSED
Berlin December 31. The for-
eign office is stirred up over the
seizure of a German ship by
Great Britain. The seizure is re-
garded as an unwarranted act and
it is expected that the foreign of-
fice will call England to account

THE NEXT POPE.
i.
Leo Designated Him Who Is to
Follow.
Rome December 31. It is as-
serted that the pope after the re-
cent ceremony of opening tha holy
door at St. Peter's cathedral ad-
dressed his intimate entourage and
said : "I thank Divine Providence
for granting me the grace of being
able to celebrate this great func-
tion and I wish for ray successor
a grander and longer raign to the
greater glory of God. My success-
or will be young as compared
with my own age and will have
time to see many glories of the
papacy and the church."
Later Leo clearly designated
Cardinal Giiolamo Maria Gotti
prefect of the Congregation of In-
dulgences and Sacred Relics as
his successor. Cardinal Gotti the
famous Genoese monk is a man
of great piety and modesty. Now
about 64 years of age he has al
ways lived the life of an ascetic
and despite the dignity of a prince
of the church he always sleeps iu
a cell and od a hard mattress.
GOING ON SECRETLY.
The World Says Boer Recruiting
Is Being Done.
New York Decenber 31. The
World says: Recruiting foj South
Africa is going on secretly but
withgreat activity among the
Irish volunteers of this and the
nearby cities. That several num-
bers of the Tolunteerg which is a
branch of the Cl&n-Na-Gael are
already in the Boer country pre-
paring for the reception of recnits
is well understood. There has
been a larga damand for drill reg -
ulations of the United States
from Irish societies and one firm j
in this cjry that publishes thesevre
gulations has filled large orders
within the last few days. A prom-itiohs
linen t member of the Clan-Na-
Gael estimated the strength of -the
Tolanteejsjn America at 23000. j
