AGUINALDO'S MOVE.
It Is Not Worrying the Officials in Washington.
NO OFFICIAL ADVICES RECEIVED.
It is Thought That the Address Will Be Ignored by All the Foreign Powers Appealed to—Friendliness of Foreign Powers Assured the United States.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—Nothing officially has been received by the state department in confirmation of the press dispatches announcing that Aguinaldo has addressed the representatives of the foreign powers at Manila asking them for recognition of the "Filipino independence." The dispatches are, however, accepted as probably true and as indicating merely a further step in the persistent efforts made by the Filipino leader since the beginning of his insurrection to obtain outside support for his schemes.
State department officials attach no special importance to this latest move of Aguinaldo and express themselves as being confident that the address will have no effect upon the future attitude of any foreign government toward the Filipino government.
They point out that if the personal efforts of the members of the various juntas established by Aguinaldo in London, Paris, Berlin and other capitals have been unable to secure the desired recognition by England, France and Germany, etc., it is not to be expected that a communication addressed to the consular representatives of these powers at Manila will have any better success.
So far the state department is assured of the entire friendliness of the various foreign governments toward the policy of the United States in the Philippines. There have been no intimations from any source that any one of the powers entertains the remotest idea of recognizing the Filipinos, either as an important nation of even as belligerents. Consequently Aguinaldo's address is not regarded as changing the situation in any manner from that which has existed since last February.
In this connection the report that China has refused to allow horses to be exported from her ports for the use of General Otis' army in the Philippines on the ground that they constitute "contraband of war" is thus explained by a high official of the state department:
"Of course, if China holds that horses intended for export to the Philippines are 'contraband of war' it would be a virtual recognition by that country that a state of war exists in the Philippines and that would mean virtually an indirect recognition of the belligerency of the Filipinos. But China has not taken this stand, and her refusal to allow her horses to be sold to General Otis is due entirely to certain domestic regulations governing the exportation of this character of live stock.
"The facts of the matter are these: Early last May General Otis made requisition on the war department for 2,500 horses to mount the cavalry in the Philippines. He stated that the native horses were not satisfactory and that efforts to secure them from China had failed, the words 'contraband of war' being added.
"Because of the intimation conveyed in these last words the dispatch was turned over to this department for investigation. On June 5 Mr. Conger, our minister to China, sent an explanation of the matter to Secretary Hay, enclosing the correspondence that had passed between himself and the Chinese foreign office on the question.
"From this it appears that E. S. Dalton had made a contract at Tien Tsin for a hundred ponies and mules to be sent to General Otis, but had been refused an export pass. Minister Conger went to the Chinese foreign office in person to inquire into the reason for this and he reports that there was a Chinese law expressly limiting the export of horses and ponies. Small lots of ponies have been allowed to go abroad, but only on the distinct understanding that they are to be used only for racing or polo. Minister Conger added: 'The Chinese seem to think they need all their ponies for use in their own army, hence the prohibition as to export.'
"The Chinese foreign office further told him that under the terms of this law they had been compelled to refuse to allow Russia and other countries to purchase Chinese horses for military purposes, and that no exception could be made in favor of the United States. In no other part of Minister Conger's communication was there any suggestion that the Chinese government considered horses as 'contraband of war,' so we were necessarily forced to the conclusion that General Otis must have been misinformed when he sent his dispatch to the war department conveying this impression."
New Life For a Village.
ALBANY, Aug. 10.—The village of Aurora in Cayuga county was incorporated by a special act of the legislature in 1837. During these 62 years it has never exercised its corporate rights but recently desiring to do so applied to the attorney general for an opinion as to whether or not its charter was still in effect. Attorney General Davies holds that it is, hence the village will take on a new life.
Candidates For Bee Inspector.
ALBANY, Aug. 10.—The following candidates for bee inspector under the act of 1899, authorizing an appropriation to stamp out foul brood, have passed the civil service examination: Noah D. West of Middleburg, Charles Stewart of Sammonsville, Wheeler D. Wright of Altamont, Lester C. Judson of East Sidney and Mortimer Stevens of Pennellville. Stevens is a veteran.

More Fighting in Luzon.
The detailed report of the fight north of San Fernando, Luzon, in which 4,000 American troops under General MacArthur severely defeated 6,000 insurgents, shows that it was precipitated by the fact that the Filipinos had almost surrounded the town and had become so annoying at night that it became necessary to keep constantly 600 of our soldiers on outpost duty. The movement against the insurgents had been planned for some time, but its execution was delayed by rains. Finally two days of sunshine dried the rice fields sufficiently to warrant the attempt. Even then the Americans were forced to march through mud in places knee deep.
The insurgents were driven northwestward beyond Angeles, and that place will be made the northern base of operations instead of San Fernando, where a garrison of 600 men has been left. The new base is considered to be much better than the old one.
Among the American troops engaged were the Ninth infantry and the new Thirty-sixth regiment. The casualties were between thirty and forty, mostly wounded. The insurgent losses were heavy. Their defeat will convince them that even in the rainy season they are not sate from attack. Moreover, as the dry season approaches they will find the Americans after them in all sections of the island where they attempt any resistance. With the arrival of reinforcements general and vigorous operations will be possible, so that not much time should elapse after the close of the rainy season before the insurrection is completely and permanently suppressed.
◘ Isn't the attempt to get up a bubonic scare in England rather tardy? The bubonic has been rampaging since 1892 and could not force an entrance into northern Europe. But now a sleepy old medical journal in London has just learned of it and is advising the authorities to prepare for an epidemic. But the authorities, like the people, haven't time to attend to the plague. They are attending to Bernhardt.
Married This Evening.
A number of Cortland [people] will go to Binghamton to-night to be present at the marriage of Dr. Paul Tracy Carpenter of Cortland and Miss Lena R. Tubbs which occurs at 8 o'clock this evening at the home of Dr. and Mrs. F. W. Putnam 1410 Vestal-ave. Mrs. Putnam is a sister of Miss Tubbs.
