DELICACIES CHEER UP SICK nt Snntlnvco EvprexNeN the TlinnkM of Solillcrn for the' ICInil Itemenihrunue * , WASHINGTON , Sept. 16. The folldwlng note of thanks to those who have con tributed to the relief of our sick In Cuba has \een \ received by one of the field cor respondents of the Associated Press In a letter just received from Santiago. SANTIAGO DE CUBA , Aug. 29. In behalf ot the sick who have been nnd are now In this hospital , I wish to thank the noble men , women , boys and girls of the United States who have contributed to the relief ot our poor sick In Cuba. If those who have aided In this good work could only see ono of the beams of delight from the eyes cf the convalescents or the sad smile of pleas ure from the pain furrowed brow of the sick , when something Is given with the words : "Take this , it wjll do you good , ' or "Uso this , It was sent from home , " it would repay the givers a hundredfold for , all their trouble and expense. Only heaven's recording nngcl , wltli a pen divinely Inspired - ' spired , could picture the want , the suffering nnd sickness of our soldiers on this island. Our sick In this hospital whnn they have received the much needed delicacies sent from America , have never failed to cheer up as though thcro were tonic In the meie fact of the gift , and seldom do they fall to say with sparkling eyes : "God bless the dear people at home. " ORLANDO DUCKISH , Surgeon In Charge. The hospital In question has been estab lished on nu island In Santiago bay , about two miles from the city. The letter quoted states that conditions have greatly Improved during August , but there Is still much need of delicacies such as can only be had through the kindly contributions from the states. Yellow fever has been less a scourge than had been expected , the death rate beIng - Ing held down to 12 per cent , but typhoid has proved deadly , chiefly owing to the Im possibility of obtaining the light nourish ment so necessary In the treatment of the disease. AGUINALDO HAS HIS TROUBLES Former Chief ItnlneN a Ilaiul to FlKht the Dictator Majority I-'aVor Amerleiiii Protectorate. NEW YORK , Sept. 16. A special to tha Herald from Manila says : The Insurgents changed their plans last night , and Instead of evacuating all the suburbs of the city , as General Otis ordered , they moved from Ermlta to Santanna , where they appear to be concentrating In strong force. It Is re ported , although it has not been confirmed , that Agulnaldo has ordered that" this- place be held at any cost. It Is more llkclya move on the part ot the Plo Plar W'-em' ban-ass the dictator. The former rebel chief Artacho , who was condemned to deatl by Agulnaldo for treatchery In May , and was reprieved and escaped , Is leading 15OOC ; men ugalnst Agulnaldo. Artaeho is backed by priests. A Jesuit priest has been shot for persuad ing rebels to desert Agulnaldo's cause. At tho" meeting of rebel leaders In Malolos the majority will vote for autonomy .under Amerloan 'protection. < Coasting steamers are trading with the provinces under Spanish rule. Agulnnldt demands CO per cent of freight receipts ot steamers trading with the rebel provinces. All Spaniards In the northern provinces are now prisoners. The rebels seized stocks and cash belonging to the Companla To- bacerlcra In Cayuan province and thpso 0,1 Copran In Camarlnes province. The losses are enormous. The rebel steamer Bulusan has been sunk by a Spanish gunboat at Marbate. Agulnaldo denies the shipment of arms from Japan The arms were probably shipped by the priests for Artacho.

The Manila dispatches stating that Aguln- aldo has assembled all of the Filipinos at Malolos gives no apprehension to War de partment officials , as they feel satisfied that the opportunity for a real crisis was passed when Agulnaldo removed his forces from the auburbs of Manila. So long as the American forces in nnd about Manila arc left untrammeled - meled there is no disposition to restrict Agulnaldo In holding meetings of his fol lowers outside of the Immediate field of American operations. I'lilllpliluc General Annonibly , MANILA , Sept. 16. The Philippine gen eral assembly was Inauguarted at ) Malolos yesterday with great enthusiasm. There were thousands of visitors from the prov inces and a great display was made. Agulnafdo , who was received with cheers and also with cries of "Viva America" by the largo crowd of natives Inside and out- stdo the hall , read a decree convening the members , who Included several Spaniards. Ho next ! read a message eulogizing the army and thanking the' ' frlondrjM' nation which had set the historical example of liberty and had" assisted a downtrodden race. Con tinuing , Agulnaldo'urgontfy'and eloquently exhorted the assembly t6 "follow the no- bfesj principles" and Invoked the "spirits of the martyred Filipino * . " The assembly then adjourned for the day. A Spanish delegate 'suggested 'that busi ness bo resumed Jn tr e..afternoon , , but a Filipino objected and , accused the Spaniard of attemptingDo-.undecjnlne the constitu tion , , . , Tp this tho.,8iijilvd { replied that he was'a sincere republican nnd that his only desire was the welfare of the country. Thereupon the Filipino apologized and the proceedings terminated. Don't Know Much About Protectorate * During the afternoon1 many Americans nnd Europeans arrived and Agulnaldo was kepi bUsy receiving visitors , Including the Amer ican consul. The correspondent of the Asso- , clated Press had a private Interview with Agulnaldo , who Is extremely unwilling to compromise himself with the natives. Hn said that n majority of the Filipinos hac been struggling for freedom for years nnd that they now believe the object has been attained. Agulnaldo professed entire Ignorance o ! the autonomous system In vogue In the British colonies of protectorates and ol American state autonomy. He said he was unable to understand the Idea and only un derstood "absolute 'Independence. " Person ally , he believed a. protectorate for the Philippine islands was necessary , but he feared the people would be disappointed In this. Ho had not studied political economy and know nothing about the various forms of government. He inquired whether Aus tralia was an American colony and said be had never heard of a Malay protectorate. Continuing , the Insurgent leader said there was no need of protection for the Philip pine Islands , because the Filipinos were able to cope with any army. He admitted that ho had never seen a foreign array , with the exceptions of the garrisons at Hong Kong and Singapore , and ho had never seen these troops on parade. Agulnaldo declined to discuss the Amcrl can array and protested his undying grati tude to the Americans.

Cap tain Prostad , the1 master of the Avona , states that there were barometric Indica tions before the storm struck the vessel , and he was therefore not unprepared to meet It , but It wns necessary to heave his vessel to to avoid serious consequences. The storm sprang up from the southeast early on Sunday and lasted until the next day , when there was an Intermission of a dead calm , lasting for six hours. After that the hurricane returned with renewed vigor. Captain Frostad believes that the New York vessels foundered and will never bo heard from.

The details of the evacuation of the Island were practically completed nt n meeting of the commission held today nnd nil depends on whether the Madrid government shall place transports nt the disposal of Captnln General Maclas for the embarkation of troops. Fall- tire to send transports will embarrass the Spanish commissioners , but the American commissioners probably not set nn nbso- lute tlmo limit for tlio evacuation without Instructions from Washington. The Spaniards do not desire to concentrate all their troops for fear of endangering their health until they nre Informed when the transports will arrive. In addition to Lares , Aguadllla and San Sebastian the Spanish will evacuate the Island of Vlequw on Monday. After , the details of the evacuation have been arranged the movable property and military equipment which the Spaniards may properly remove If they desire to dose so .will bo Inventoried separately.

Moro depredations are reported to have occurred In the neighborhood of Utuado. Several Spanish haclendast nnd cafeals hnvo been burned nnd two Spanish planters killed These outrages arc attributed to the lower classes of natives , actuated by a spirit of revenge and a lawless gang of brigands which has been operating near Clalee. The Spanish planters fear for their lives and arc extremely anxious that the Ameri cans should obtain control In order to afford them protection , as the United States Is powerless to preserve order In places within Spanish lines.
