Manila, April 10. A number of
leading and wealthy Filipinos arc or
ganizing a committee to take steps to
bring about an understanding between
the r 'bcls and the Americans. Ono
branch of this committee intends to
ask the United States I'hllipplnc com
mission to make a statement as to
what terms will bo offered the rebels
If the.latter wilt surrender.
Another branch of the committee
will approach Agulualdo with the
terms and will endeavor to persuade
him to accept them. It Is considered
doubtful, however, If any members of
the committee will endeavor to per
tonally confer with the rebel leader.
The committeo Includes several per
sons recently condemned to death by
Aguinaldo for petitioning him to
lease fighting.
In an interview with General La-
Garda, a Filipino, he said that a com
mitteo of twenty-two Filipinos had
keen appointed to confer with the
peace commission for the following
purposes:
First To obtain ns large autono
mous rights for the Filipino people as
possible.
Second To bring about peaceful
relations between the Insurgents and
tho American authorities.
Third To insist that Americans
and Filipinos only shall occupy pub
lic offices. Arcvalo, a former aid to
Aguinaldo, is now in Manila. He said
In an Interview that If tho Americans
send emissaries to Aguinaldo now ho
thinks a peaceful solution of the pros-
sent troubles is probable.
Influential Americans think that
the commission of rich Filipinos
is eager to protect property and has
little influence with tha Insurgents.

MANILA'S AWFUL LIQUORS.
A Tew Drinks of "Vino" Hencla American
Soldiers to the Ifo.plUI.
Washington, April 10. Among tho
serious problems confronting General
Otis at Manila none has caused great
er agitation than the alarming effects
produced upon American soldiers, par
ticularly the enlisted men, by a se
ductive beverage which they procured
In native shops. It produced such
physical and mental demoralization
as to give rtso to a suspicion that
the army of occupation was sys
tematically drugged or poisoned to
render tho men helpless to resist an
Insurgent attack. This native drink
was generally known as vino. It was
exceedingly patatable and inexpen
sive, but a single drink of it unfitted
a soldier for actlva duty for tho suc
ceeding twenty-four hours, white fre
quent potions sent the soldiers to
the hospital for a long period of ill
ness. When tho source of the trou
blo was discovered General Otis was
disposed to prohibit tho traffic In vino
altogether, and to that end ho re
ferred the matter to General Hughes,
provost marshal general of the city,
with a request for suggesstlons look
ing to a practicablo courso of action.
General Hughes investigated tho
trouble and his recommendations have
been followed.
As long as Manila was ctowded wilt
troops the wine industry, unrestricted,
was lucrative, but now that most of
the Americans arc in tho field, prac
tically all the shops where it had been
sold aro closed. General Hughes' in
dorsement on the case was as follows:
"Thcro aro quite a numbar of arti
cles on salo at tho wine shops In this
city that are about the sima thing.
They nrc a whitish liquor and usually
llavorcd, and sometimes tinted by
somo innocent elements. They aro
called numerous names anisado, vino,
bctto, Scotch whisky, etc. The
b.tsa of all of them is simply
alcohol. Commercial alcohol ii
manufacture I hero extensively from
tho refuse of sugar houses. It Is very
puro nttd strong aud can be sold at a
price that is far batow that at which
any other Intoxicating drink can bo
produced. The wino venders tako
this alcohol of commerce and diluto
tt, porltaps acta n
may bo an innocent coloring etement,
and sell it under nny namo they seo
fit to bestow upon it.
Anyone familiar with tho old bottle
trade can tell about It by giving the
various prices of labeled bottles and
bottles not labeled. A Scotch whisky
bottle with a psrfcct label is a very
different article of trade from one of
tho same kind without a label. Tho
police aro Instructed to endeavor to
suppress tho salo of these strong alco
holic drinks to soldiers.
"There nre occasionally shops that
get fruit alcohol aud put tt on Balo as
a beverage. This material Is apt to
produce a very delirious condition.
Where such shops aro found the police
are to withdraw tho licenses from the
places."
SHEFAILS TO RETURN ,FEAR F0R LIVES 0F 8AIL0RS,
MISS HORLOCKER NOT YET
IN HASTINGS.
AtUlake of Jler Arrival Canned tiy Con
futing Her With Her Hlnter, Mlti Zora
Horlocker of New York City, Who Came
In tho Afternoon,
The promises of Miss Horlocker's
friends and attorneys that she would
be in Hastings Monday to face her ac
cusers have failed in fulfillment.
The reported arrival of Mips Hor
locker was caused by confusing her
with her sister, Miss Zora Horlocker
f New York City, who came In on tho
afternoon train and whose presence In
Lincoln it was thought gave rise to
the report.
Instead of the promised preliminary
hearing the prosecuting attorney, W.
P. McCrcnry, went to Lincoln. On the
same train was Sheriff John Simmer
ing, also John C. Stevens of counsel
for the accused.
The presumption in that since Miss
Horlocker did not return as promised
the county attorney and sheriff have
gone to Lincoln to get requisition pa
pers and bring her back. It is claimed
that she is or has been at Sheldon, In.,
although reports have had her and
her mother secreted In Hastings for
the past week.
A new fenturc in the case that is
causing comment was the departure
from the city of a lady who Is said to
have seen Miss Horlocker In the hall
the day Mrs. Morey received the poi
soned candy, and should lc one of the
state's most Important witnesses. She
Is Mrs. C. II. Hall and Is said to be the
wife of a major in the Third Nebraska
volunteers, now being mustered out at
Sa-annah. She has been residing in
the same flats as the Morcj-s all win
ter. She left, It is claimed for O'Neill,
Neb.
Mrs. Hnll is said to have seen Miss
Horlocker at Mrs. Morey's door. It is
now stated that Miss Horlosker will
be in Hastings for her preliminary
hearing on Wednesday.
Wednesday morning a dispatch from
Sheldon, la., conveyed the informa
tion that Miss Hoiiocker was under
cheap flavoring, ! arrest there in compliance with the re
quest made by Sheriff Simmering, nntl
will be held for the Adams county offi
cer. She is prostrated and under a
nurse's care. It is said that her moth
er and friends have had n difficult time
lu preventing her from destroying her
self. The belief seems to be gaining
ground that Miss Horlocker is not in
possession of her normal faculties.

The regainment of Jerusalem by the
Jews is one of those historic possibili
ties that especially captivate the mind
by their opproprlate plcturcsqucness..
For years a fact probably not widely
known among gentiles a systematic
agitation having in view a return of
the race to the home of their fathers has.
been going on, and the present results
aro surely encouraging. Dr. Selah Mer
rill, formerly United States consul at
Jerusalem, says that of tho 47,000 in
habitants of the Holy City 27,000 are
Jews. Another side of this programme
of racial revivification and local unifi
cation alms at the restoration of He
brew as a spoken tongue. But it ap
pears from recent statistics that tho
Idea of its being a dead language must
be classed as a popular delusion. More
people today are using Hebrew as a.
literary vehicle than when Moses drove
his chariot through the Red Sea.
Shakespeare and Goetho havo been
completely translated Into Hebrew, nnd
are read with avidity by thousand
who enjoy at the same time tho sublime
poetry of Isaiah and of Solomon, the
eon of David. All this recalls Disraeli's
boast that ho belonged to the most vi
tal nnd unconquerable race in the
world. The Greek and the Roman have
evaporated, but the despised and tor
