Settlement of the Dispute at Tien
Tain.
PEKIN, March 23. Count Von
Waldersee, General Barrow and Gen
eral Wogack have been In consults
tion and General Wogack has agreed
to withdraw the Russian troops from
the disputed ground at Tien Tsin,
provided the British also withdraw.
He insisted also upon a guarantee
that work on the railway siding
should not proceed until the matter
had been diplomatically adjusted.
This proposal and stipulation was
satisfactory to General Barrow and
was accepted by him. Consequently
the British and RuBsian troops will
be withdrawn at 5 o'clock this morn
ing (Friday), thereby avoiding all
trouble at present Orders have been
Issued that no British officer shall
leave or even "sleep out" at night
or go to dinner without furnishing
his address to the adjutant. The
marines will return to the ships.
Admiral Seymour objects to any of
he Australian naval brigade, who
volunteered for service on the rail
way, remaining. The military au
thorities say he does not understand
the situation, that his inference is
uncalled for and uiat the Australian
marines are just tne men needed.
The Russians have ordered a regi
ment to proceed from Port Arthur
to Tien Tsin. The arrangement made
by General Balloud the French com
mander, are regarded as perfectly
satisfactory and all danger of trouble
between the British and Russians is
avoided.

MILITARY TO CIVIU
Transfer
of Government in Philip
pines June 30.
WASHINGTON, March 23. The
transfer from the military to the civil
government in the Philippines is ex
pected to occur about June 30, ac
cording to calculations made at the
war department upon information re
ceived from the Taft commission and
General MacArthur. It is known that
even where civil government is be
ing established by the Philippine com
mission, the military will be neces
sary for some time to support the
civil authorities. It Is the intention
to withdraw the military as fast as
possible, however, from any partici
pation in the governments established,
and the soldiers will be more of a
police than of a military force.
Wherever possible, native police will
be organized.
LONDON, March 22. "General
Wogack has refused to accept Count
von Waldersee's arbitration at Tien

of the Daily Mail, wiring yesterday.
and demands that the British not
only withdraw, but apologize for le
moving the Russian flag. General
Barrow refuses to do either, and In
so refusing has the support of the
British government. British rein
forcements are being sent."
Kussia s proceedings in Corea,"
says the Kobe correspondent of the
Dally Man, are now openly aggres
sive, and it is believed that she is
about to make further demands in
connection with Masampo."
The officials of the foreiim office
here have received no information
of an outbreak of hostilities at Tien
Tsin. Their latest advices say the
situation remains the same. The ru
mor (credited by a news agency to
the London stock exchange and pub
lished in New York) that the British
and Russians had fired at each other
at Tien Tsin, has not even reached
the leading stock exchange firms.
BATTLESHIP ASHORE.
Massachusetts Runs on a Spit in Pen-
aacola Harbor.
PENSACOLA, Fla March 21.
The flagship Kearsarge and the battle
ship Alabama, of the North Atlantic
squadron, crossed the bar here this
morning for a cruise in the Gulf,
with Target Bay, Culebra Island, as
a destination. The Massachusetts,
which followed the two other war
ships out, took a sheer, left the chan
nel, and went aground on a spit of
sand at buoy No. 7. President
O'Brien, of the National Bar Pilot
Association, arrived late tonight from
the battleship. He says she is aground
with 24 feet of water under her for
ward turret, while there is plenty of
water under all other parts of the
ship. It is expected the batUeship
will be pulled off tomorrow.
Philippine Trade.
Washington, March 23. The im
ports into the Philippine Islands from
the United States during the first
eight months of 900 show an increase
of 72 per cent over the amount for
the same period in 1899, according to
a statement of the commerce of the
archipelago issued by the division of
insular affairs of the war department.
For the period stated of 1899, the Im
ports from the United States amount
ed In value to $780,793 and for the
first eight months of last year to
$1,340,717.
The total value of merchandise,
gold and silver, imported into the
islands from January through August
of 1900 the period of time to which
the statement relates was $16.8t5,
684. The exports were valued at
$17,808,222. showing a balance of trade
in favor of the arcnipeiago. rnese
figures, as compared with the same
period cf 1899, show an increase of
34 per cent in imports ana zs per

United States show a decrease, zi.ab.-

in 1900, as against $2,547,839 worth
in 1899.
Preparing for "Trouble.
Tien Tsin. March 22. A special
train bearing reinforcements of Aus
tralian troops left Pekin for Tien
Tsin at 10 o'clock this morning. One.
French, an Italian and a German war
ship are outside the bar. A dust
storm prevented Count von Walder
see, who arrived here yesterday,
from proceeding for Pekin until this
morning. Ninety British marines ar
rived here last night from the Taku
forts to replace the Indian guards on
the disputed land. In addition to the
Australians, outposts from the lines
of communication are coming to be
ready in case of necessity. The Brit
ish are under arms to prevent the
settlement being rushed, but they do
not anticipate such extremes.
General Lome Campbell, the Eng
lish commander, and General Wog
ack, commanding the Russians, met
Count von Waldersee upon his ar
rival here. Learning that both had
received Instructions from their gov
ernments. Count von" Waldersee said
that it was useless for him to give
even an opinion regarding the mat
ters at issue.
It is the general feeling in Tien
Tsin that the trouble is not likely to
reach a point where blood will be
shed. Both detachments on guard
have orders to do nothing aggressive
unless forced to do so by the other.
Except the army and camp followers,
the only Russians now residing her;
are the members of the consular staff,
two clerks and two Jews, who are
running stores, and who left Russia
in order to save their lives. These
are now being offered inducements
to move to the Russian concession.
The French concession is quiet.
French gendarmes are on duty at
the British concession to prevent the
soldiers from trespassing, and an Aus
tralian naval brigade is preventing
the Sihks from invading the French
concession.
General Lome Campbell, upon
hearing of the death of ex-President
Harrison, ordered all the British Bags
to be flown at half-mast.

Diplomats Watching
Case With Interest.
NEW YORK. March 22. A special
to the Herald from Washington says:
The European diplomats in Wash
ington are deeply interested in the
acUon of the United States in send
ing the armored cruiser New York to
Morocco to aid the American consul-
general in exacting an apology and
obtaining a settlement of claims ag
gregating $o0.000. Frances interest
is probably greater than that of any
other country because it is no secret
that she hopes some day to extend
her sovereignty over the whole north
western coast of the African conti
nent. France requested the United
States some time ago to denounce its
negotiations with Tunis, over which a
French protectorate had been estab
lished, and this would probably have
been a step in the direction of hav
ing the United States denounce its
treaties with Morocco, under which it
is. proceeding in demanding the set
tlement of claims. The United States
declined the request. It is treating
with Morocco as a sovereign power.
Wrhile no bombardment of any
