BETTER MEN AT THE HELM Cuooita AiltUor From Amonf Tlioie of HUndliic Dan of Registration to Levy on tlin Chinese Cablnnt Meetluc Dlncume. Local flov- ernment In Philippine. A Filipino who hns nrrlved at Ma nila from Tnrlne says nn extraordi nary session of the revolutionary con gress took place at Tarlao August 21. Aguinaldo presided and chose Mnblni as president of the supreme court nnd Gonzaga as attorney general. They both represent tho most conservative and temperate clement. Mabini, who recently resigned the foreign secretaryship, is the ablest man connected with the revolution. Gonznga was the president of the las pcaco commission. The proceedings of the congress disproved the report that Aguinaldo had declared himself dictator. A decree has been Issued by the Fili pinos compelling thu registration of all foreigners in Filipino territory. Tho Chinese, who arc a largo faction of tho population, nre considered for eigners, including those born in the Philippine islands. Applications must bo made on stamped paper, which figures largely in all tho business transactions of the insurrectionary government. Tills seems to be largely a scheme to tax Chinamen.

He pointed out tho system of government that would be suited to the people of Luzon would hardly do for some of the other islands, where the inhabjtants wero far less advanced. A member of the cabinet, in speak ing of the matter, said that Secretary Root displayed a broad statesmanship, nud a knowledge of the social and eco nomic conditions of the islunds.

The fire has burned over twelve milcs'milcs of territory, somo of the best territory in tho Hills having been tptully destroyed. A number of ranchers were burned out, but no lives wero reported lo3t. Tho fire is under control temporarily, but a heavy wiiid would case it to break out again. BUT LITTLE HOPE I'lea hy Laborl L'nllkely nnd III Attitude Crltk'lncd. That Captain Dreyfus will be con dctnned Is tho almost only opinion heard In Rcnncs. Hitherto there had nlways been n divergence, but now both camps, the Drcyfusards and the nnti-Dreyfusnrds, seem unanimous in the opinion that the verdict will go against the accused. Upon just what this is based and the precise reason for the conclusion arc a mystery, but thcro Is no disput ing the fact Hint from M. Labor! down to tho numerous Drcyfusards who crowd the hotels nnd cafes, nnd who last night were still hopeful that Dreyfus would be saved, all teem now to agree that his lust chance is gone. The one source of hope is M. Laborl himself, who has stated to the corres pondents that "we fear that Captain Dreyfus will be condemned, but we do not intend to throw up the sponge. We shall go on fighting for him." M. .Inures, the socialist leader, and other prominent Drcyfusards expressed u similar opinion. Excitement is at fever heat, and nothing is discussed but the verdict. The military precautious arc of the most elaborate character, and no at tempt at disorder Is likely to have tho slightest success. Orders have been issued to repress the first symptom of trouble witli tin iron hand, Mnltrc Dcmnngo nt once opened his speech for the defense. In eloquent terms nnd with impressive delivery he brought out strong evidence ngninst Estcrhn.y. During the course of his remarks he cried: "Do you think if Dreyfus und Ester hnzy hud been before the court-martial of 1801 that the court would have con demned Captain Dreyfus?" As lid asked this question counsel pointed to tho prisoner sitting before him and added: "No." , The front rows of the chief wit nesses' scats were empty except for tho prcseneo of M. Trarieux, theJ'formcr minister of justice, and M. Cavalgnac. former minister of war, all the gener als und officers having left Rcnncs by order of the 'iniuistcr of war, General dc Gallfct. Colonel Picquart has also left Renncs, although he holds no rank' in the army. Dreyfus listened to the oration of M. Deinungo with a mask of impassibility resembling his frozen attitude .during the first days of tho trial. Whatever the prisoner's feelings were as he heard M. Dcmange's plea in his behalf, ho carefully concealed them. At 11 o'clock M. Dcmange was still speaking und he announced that ho would need another two hours und a half to finish his plea, so that the court ndjourned until 7:20 tomorrow morn ing, i." There was n rumor nftcr adjourn ment of the court Hint M. Laborl had decided not to spenk, the idea bt ing thnt his omission from so doing, in view of the irritnting effect his every utterance hns had on the court would be rather" nn advantage thanothcrwisr to Dreyfus. . LOOKING OUT FOR NUMBER 1 General .limine Hit Personal Interest to Advance. Dominican advices sny that tho ap parently enthusiastic and ostensible national demonstration prepared in Sunto Domingo for Juan Isidor J inli ne.
