The Watchman for $1.00
to January 1st, 1900
A business proposition requires us to
add 1,000 new names to the subscription
list of the WATCHMAN by the 1st of Feb.
next. Itis of such a character as will
permit of special inducements being of-
fered. Ordinarily the paper could not
be furnished at the price we propose of-
fering it at until that date, but the prop-
osition is such that we can save in an-
other way all that may be lost in send-
ing out the paper at less than its actual
cost, and we purpose giving those who
help usin this matter the advantage.
From this issue until the first day of
Feburary, 1899, new subscriptions will be
taken at $1.00—which will pay in full to
Jan. 1st,1900 7 J
These payments ‘must he made 'in-:
variably in advance. ‘Present subsctib-’
ers can have the benefit of this great
reduction by settling all arrearages,
either by cash or note, and paying the
$1.00 in advance.
At the end of the time for which these
subscriptions pay, the paper will be dis-
continued, except to" those who order its
continuance.
You all know what the WATCHMAN
is. You know its worth, and reliability,
both politically and locally. You want
it; your family wants it, but you have
thought it too high priced because papers
of less cost, less value and less merit,
were offered you at lower figures.
We offer you now, and for the time
specified, not only the best, but the
CHEAPEST paper in the county. It will
be sent to you, wherever you are, or to
any of your family, wherever they may
be, postage free, at the price named.
Will you be one of the 1,000 new sub- °
scribers?
" Remember your subscription will be-
gin the day you send in your dollar and
it pays in full to January 1st. 1900.
This opportunity is. offered until the
1st day of February, 1899.

Necessary to
an A plished Fact—The Filipino Congress in
Session at Malolos. Has Unanimously Vetoed An-
nexation.—" Domiciliary Throughout Manila Are
Exasperating the Filipinos,’ Is a Statement
Made by the Members of the Filipino Junta at
Hong Kong—Every Available Male in the Philip-
pine Islands Is Being Recruited and Arms Depots
"* Are Being Established, at Large Towns.
MADRID, Jan. 24.—A dispatch from
Hong Kong to the Reforma, of this city,
says a letter received from the Philippine
islands, under date of January 20th, an-
nounces that the rupture between the Fil-
ipinos and the Americans is an accom-
plished fact and that the lives of the Span-
iards in the archipelago are endangered.
The Imparcial to-day says: ‘‘All the in-
telligence from the Philippine islands
shows that the Americans recognize their
inability to overcome the insurgents in the
island’ of Luzon and the Visayas. The
Filipinos understand that the Americans
wish to tyrannize over them and exploit
them as the Spaniards never did. The
Americans intended to exercise their power
merely at the important ports, but they
are already convinced that such a domina-
tion would not be efficacious. They would
be constantly fighting the insurgents and
the latter would soon put an ‘end to the
Americans, as the Filipinos have on their
side not only bullets, but the climate and
the enormous expenditure the situation
will entail on the Americans. This ex-
plains Washington’s desire to first get the
treaty of Paris voted and then open nego-
tiations with the rebel chiefs in order to
see if Aguninaldo and his colleagues will
consent at least to accept an American pro-
tectorate, with self-government.’’
The minister of war, General Correa, re-
ceived a cable dispatch to-day from Gen-
eral Rios, the Spanish commander in the
Philippines, announcing that all the sick
and maimed, civil and military, prisoners
were released by the Filipinos to-day. The
general added that Lie hopes the remainder
of the prisoners will be liberated shortly.
FILIPINO JUNTA ISSUES A STATEMENT.
Hone Koxa, Jan. 24.—The members of
the Filipino junta here have issued the fol-
lowing statement: ‘‘The purchase’by the
American authorities at Hong Kong of a
number of steam launches for river work
in the Philippine islands is high handed,
unnecessary and vexatious. .
“Domiciliary visits throughout Manila
are exasperating the Filipinos. Their sus-
picions are aroused by such actions. The
dispatch. of reinforcements is incompatible
with peace and the appointment of a com-
mission is only a pretext to gain time.
The American secret police are acting
offensively toward the Filipinos at
Hong Kong, where are British subjects.
‘“The Filipino Congress at Malolos has
unanimously vetoed annexation.”
FILIPINOS ARE DISILLUSIONED.
MANILA, Jan. 24, via Hong Kong, Jan.
24.—The Independencia to-day issued a
supplement containing a dispatch purport-
ing to come from Malolos, the seat of the
rebel government. It comments upon the
appointment of the commission and says:
“*The Filipinos naturally suspect this is a
new attempt to humbug. Both Dewey
and. Spencer Pratt promised us independ-
ence if the Filipino republic was stable.
The Filipinos are disillusioned. They be-
lieve the comission is a ruse to gain time
till they have accumulated formidable fore-
es, when America, arousing her strength,
will begin a war to ratify her sovereiguty.’’
The Independencia then: alleges: that all
the commissioners are; partisans to colonial
expansion.and incidentally asserts that the
archbishop also favors annexation, ‘‘with
the ‘sale object of gaining the winning side,
immaterial which, in the interests of the
religions corporations.’
The Filipinos of Caloocan and Gegalalan-
gin, mistaking salutes, exchanged between
British and German warships on Jan. 18th,
moved 5,000 men to the front in order of
battle, cavering the adjacent country, but
they did not attack the American lines.
Reports from the interior indicate that
Aguinaldo’s authority is now generally
recognized. Every available male is being
recruited and arms depots are being estab-
lished at San Bernandino, Union, Trinidad
and other large towns. The surrounding
country is being levied on for supplies and
the Filipino troops are living.on the fat of
the land. while the native villagers are
compelled to live on rice.
There 'is some friction between. the Fili-
pino civil and military ' authorities, but
| they are united on the question of inde-
péndence., .
It is estimated that there are fully 30,-
000 Filipinos under arms and it is said that
there are nearly fifty Maxim guns at Malo-
los, some of them having been recently
acquired. lia .
The Filipino military authorities are con-
vinced, they say, that the Americans will
be unable to work effectively outside of
Manila in the event of hostilities.
Many of the Filipino officers complain of
| alleged discourteous treatment upon the
1 part of Americans at Manila.
Insurrection of Filipinos Spreading
' Considerably.
MADRID, Jan. 25.—An official dispatch
from the Sulu islands, of the Philippine
gronp declares ‘that all is well there and
that “the..Spanish..-occupation continues.
Dispatches received by newspapers here as-
sert that the insurrection’ of ‘the Filipinos
is spreading considerably. ‘A native regi-
ment, which was disbanded by the Span-
iards, it is. alleged, enlisted as a: body in
the service of Aguinaldo. According to
figures published here, 80,000 Spanish sol-
diers perished, chiefly from sickness, during
the last campaign in Cuba.
Coal Operators and Miners Come to an
Agreement.
Most Notable Gathering. Leaders of Both Sides
Made a Fight, but Now All is Peace.
PITTSBURG, Jan. 24.—Carnegie hall, in
Allegheny, rang with the strains of ‘‘Amer-
ica’ to-night in ratification of the settle-
ment of the wage differences which was ef-
fected between the coal operators and min-
ers of the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and Pennsylvania. © The settlement means
peace for more than 100,000 men and their
employers as far as the general issues are
concerned.
The settlement was reached after one of
the most notable gatherings in the history
of the industry. The leaders of both sides
made a bitter fight, and at times it looked
as if there would be a split and chaos pre-
vail in the great industry. To-night every
operator and miner was in the best of
humor, and all left for their homes feeling
glad. The only soreness is with the block
coal interests of Indiana. To-day William
Risher, block coal operator, announced
that he desired to change his vote, which
had been in favor of adopting the scale.
He was a member of the scale committee.
His announcement caused no speech, and
the remainder of the delegates decided that
the settlement should stand in spite of the

In the Senate.
Nominations jor - Factory Inspector. and Superin-
tendent of Public Printing. ish
" ‘HARRISBURG, January 24.—These 'gu-
bernatorial appointments were sent to: the
Senate to-day and laid upon the table for
the present: James Campbell, of Pittsburg,
to succeed himself as factory inspector;
Thomas G. Sample, of Pittsburg, to suc-
ceed Thomas M. Jones, of Harrisburg, as
superintendent of public printing. * °
Mr. Flinn replied to a statement alleged
to have been made recently by State Treas-
urer Beacom. He read an article from a
Pittsburg paper, in which it charged that
asa member of the joint legislative com-
mittee on the inauguration of Governor
Stone he had agreed to place his sighature
to a bond indemnifying the State Treasurer
from any losses that might occur if he were
to advance $5,000 to the committee to de-
fray the expenses attached to Colonel
Stone’s induction into office.
Mr. Flinn charged that Mr. Beacom
made this assertion recently in a railroad
train, and continuing, he said: ‘“The State
Treasurer said that while I was attacking
state chairman Elkin for having gone on
an indemnity bond two years ago, I agreed
to do this very same thing myself upon the
occasion of Governor Stone’s inauguration.
I did ask Mr. Beacom for an advance of
$250 to pay some of the committee’s ex-
penses and I agreed to indemnify chairman
Mitchell, but the State Treasurer said that
that was unnecessary; that we could have
the money as we wanted it.
“I want to say,’’ continued Mr. Flinn,
‘‘that I had many objections to Mr. Elkin’s
appointment as Attorney General, and even
if he had not put his signature to the in-
demnity hond I would have voted against
his confirmation. However, '[ want to have
nothing more todo with the State Treasurer. :
He goes around talking on railroad trains
and telling the private business of his of-
fice to reporters. I want to say that I am
through with him.”’

Fire in Johnstown. Sf
The Flames Consumed $100,000 Worth of Property
in Two Hours.
JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Jan. 25.—All of the
eleven volunteer fire companies of the city
turned out to-night to battle with the
worst fire in Johnstown’s history. Within
two hours’ time the flames consumed
$100,000 worth of property, on which there
is an insurance estimated at between $25,-
000 and $30,000.
The fire started about 10 o'clock, in the
composing rooms of the Herald printing
company, and was not under control until
midnight. The heaviest losers are the Her-
ald printing company, John Waters, the
Johnstown supply house and the Cambria
county medical society. The loss to the
society is one that can never be made good.
It includes the Toner library, 7,000 vol-
umes of medical books, a number of which
were from 100 to 300 years old, being to-
tally destroyed.
Kean Elected Senator.
TRENTON, N.J., Jan. 24. —John Kean,
Republican, was to-day elected United
States Senator, receiving the full Republi-
can vote. The joint session will to-mor-
row ratify to-day’s separate vote.
A Good Band is a Boon to Any Town.
From the Easton Argus.
A good band, well organized and able to
prodace high class music, is a possession of -
which any city or town may well feel
proud. It is a convenience and, ‘away
from home, an advertisement that
never fails to have a good effect. This was
the course of reasoning that was adopted by
the public spirited gentlemen who have ap-
plied their efforts and their financial aid to
establishing in our midst a band that is
worthy of the city. The Easton band has
been built up of the best material that it
was possible to secure both within and out-
side of the city. Prof. Verdier, who has a
wide reputation as a musical director and
to whose ability any of our citizens can
most heartily testify, was placed at the
head and the results is a musical organiza-
tion that receives the kindest notices on all
sides and will compare favorably with any
of the kind in the State.
Much of this success is due to the pat-
ronage of the gentlemen above referred to.
It would he unfair to look to them for the
sole support of the band. It takes more
than good wishes and unstinted praise to
maintain an organization of the character
and class of the Easton band. The people
of the city and the community can well af-
ford to give it their hearty encouragement
in a substantial way. \

RupoLPH J. SCHAD.—The death of
Rudolph J. Schad, which occurred at his
‘home on west High street, at noon on Sat-
urday, was not unexpected, though it was
fraught with a full measure of sadness for
those who knew and loved him.
For years he had suffered with a limb
that had been injured by a fall when he
‘was quite young. With the. hope of gain-
ing relief he underwent several operations
in the Johns Hopkins hospital in Balti-
more and for a time was considerably im-
proved. It was but temporary, however,
and the old trouble developed anew. While
he suffered continually a fatal ending. was
not thought to be so imminent. Though far
from well he enjoyed about his usual health
until his business took him to Niagara
Falls, in September, 1896, where the
climate affected him so seriously that he
never ' ‘rceovered from the shock. His
constitution became so depleted that
tuberculosis of the stomach and bowels
developed and his death followed.
Rudolph J. Schad was the second son of
Charles and Julia Schad and was born in
Pittsburg April 1st, 1865. The family
located in Bellefonte in 1876, having been
residents ever since. The father, who died
some years ago, was a mechanical genius
and his boys all inherited this trait to a
remarkable degree. Rudolph, especially,
was a mechanic of exceptional ability and
| being a practical man, as well, when he
turned his attention to the plumbing, steam
and gas fitting business he met with mark-
ed success. The firm of R. J. Schad &
Bros., of which he had been the head ever
since its organization, is as well known as
any in the town and the brothers are own-
ers of considerable property as a result of
carefulness and hard work.
Deceased was a member of the Lutheran
church of this place. He was married, in
Feb. 94, to Dr. Edith Harris, who survives
him with two children, Mary and Frederick.
His mother and brothers Charles and Albert
are living. : .
Funeral services were held at his late
home Tuesday afternoon, at 2:30 o’clock.
Rev. Dr. H. C. Holloway, of the Lutheran
church, officiated.

THE SUDDEN DEATH OF GEO. SWARTZ --
It was a great shock to the many friends of
George Swartz when they learned that he

Cornelly in the dispatches that appeared
in Pittsburg papers on the morning of the

and told of the arrest of A. W. Gillespie,
been employed to break up in that city.
