FAST DYING REYOLT
Ninety-five Per Cent of the
Philippines Are Peaceful.
JUDGE WRIGHT'S ROSY VIEW
Wrong Impressions Held by Ameri
cans Set Aright by the ActlBj?
Gorersor of the
i4 , i. Islands. iJili I
In 05 per cent of the territory of the
Islands there is no insurrection, and
Americans go about singly and un
armed, with about as much safety as
they would in a large majority of the
states at home. There is a fast-dying
insurrection In two provinces of the
great Island of Luzon and In the re
mote southern Island of Samar. . . .
I see no reason to doubt that American
authority can now be maintained with
out more troops than Indicated by Gov
ernor TafL Acting Governor Wright,
oT the Philippines.
WASHINGTON, March 20. Judge
Wright, acting Civil Governor of the
Philippines, has written a personal letter
to General Marcus J. Wright, of this city,
which gives an interesting insight into
the condition of affairs In the Philippines.
"We are so far removed from the
United States," says Governor Wright,
"that I fear the people at home get rather
an Inadequate idea of the situation here.
Tho press reports of the last month or
more, which have reached us here, to
gether with the comments thereon, seem
to Indicate that the gendral opinion is
that the whole islands are either blazing
with Insurrection or else that outbreaks
are prevented only by the use of troops
on an extensive scale. This is wholly
misleading. The real truth is that in 93
per cent of the territory of the islands
there is no insurrection, and Americans
go about singly and unarmed, with about
as much safety as they would in a large
majority of the states at home. There Is
a fast-dying Insurrection In two provinces
of the great Island of Luzon, and in the
remote southern Island of Samar. Here
and there In more remote sections there
are instances of cattle stealing and oc
casionally murder or robbery. We are
dealing very energetically with the law
less element, and the people as a rule are
rebuilding their houses where they have
been destroyed.
"Of course, telegraphic dispatches gen
erally deal alone In something sensa
tional. I apprehend that If any one- of us
were In a foreign country and received
only news of what was happening In the
United States In police circles we would
get about the same Idea of our own
country as many of the people seem
to have of this. As to the progress we
have made in the last year. It Is tre
mendous and to me very encouraging.
While I do not look for the , millenlum
either here or elsewhere speedily, I see
no reas'on to doubt that American author
ity can now be maintained without more
troops than indicated by Governor Taft.
Of course, we must utilize the native in
policing his own country. Just as has
been done by England in all her colonies
from the beginning."
MORAL AID FOR FILIPIXOS.
Effect of Literature Sent From the
United States.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-General Otis
today resumed his testimony before the
Senate Philippine committee. Senator
Patterson continued his questioning and
referred to a letter dated September 8,
1S93, addressed by General Otis to Agui
naldo as "the commanding General of the
Philippine forces," in which he spoke of
the sacrifices made by the revolutionary
forces "In the Interests of civil liberty."
General Otis declared that this related
to their dealing with the Spaniards. He
admitted that before the United States
Army arrived in Manila, and before they
took possession, the Insurgents had the
Spaniards hemmed in in Manila. He de
nied that he led Agulnaldo to believe that
the United States would not assume sov
ereignty and governmental control over
the islands. Asked what he meant by
the statement In his letter that ..rather
than see the ships of the United States
Navy control the navigable waters of
these Islands, and its army devastating
their territory, I greatly prefer to advise
my Government not to send any more
troops here," General Otis answered that
that was his opinion because he did not
want to see any war. "I wanted to con
quer by peaceable means," said he, "but
I gave the impression that there were
troops waiting."
General Otis said, answering an inquiry
by Senator Hale, that, had the Govern
ment taken him at his word not to send
more troops, anarchy would have reigned
throughout the Islands. He thought that
his letter should be considered as a whole.
"That "was a period when Iwas laboring
hard," said he, "to keep peace and to keep
our men and officers from paying atten
tion to the Insults received from Filipino
officers and insurgents."
General Otis said that the Filipinos had
no Idea of liberty. "Liberty with them,"
said he, "Is license."
"But what is your standard of qualifi
cation for self-government?" asked Sen
ator Patterson.
"What kind of a government?" asked
General Otis; "do you mean despotic gov
ernment?" "No, self-government," was Senator
Patterson's response.
General Otis said they were perfectly
qualified for a military, despotic govern
ment. Senator Patterson asked If he considered
the people of Mexico qualified for self
government General Otis declared that he did not
measure the capacity of the-Filipino peo
ple for self-government by the "capacity of
the people of the United States, and char
acterized as unfair the effort of Senator
Patterson to get him to fix' the standard
by a comparison with other people.
A question by Senator Beveridge regard
ing the effect on the Philippines of lit
erature sent from the United States pre
cipitated a lively discussion. General
Otis said when Mablnl was brought in he
had a pile of New Tork papers with him
-which had antagonized the sovereignty of
the United States In the 'Philippines.
"Did he have any of Senator Hoar's
speeches?" Inquired Senator Patterson.
"Oh, yes; those speeches were all over
the Islands," replied the witness.
Senator Allison, who was In the chair,
said he would exclude any allusion to
Senators speeches. Senator Patterson In
terjected the remark" that a Senator
should cot be attacked from masked bat-
tcries. After some lively discussion, in
which Senators Patterson, Allison and
Caxmack took part. Senator BCveridge dis
claimed any Intention to reflect on any
Senator, and withdrew his question. Gen
eral OUs concluded his testimony by sub
mlttine: some comments on the memorial
of the Manila Chamber of Commerce. The
committee then adjourned. ,

Vatican's Policy Toward Philippines
ROME, March 20. Mgr. Sbarettl. the
-
if)if)f)fi
r
U
papal delegate, who Is on his way to the
Philippines, will make a brief stop at
Washington in order to consult the Unjted
States Government regarding Philippine
affairs. The story that he is taking with
him a papal bull, providing for the re
establishment of a helrarchy, is authori
tatively denied. The Vatican Intends to
hold the matter in nbeyance until the sit
uation in the Philippines becomes more
settled. It is the Vatican's desire Anally
to adjust matters In the archipelago in
accordance with American views and In
terests. Therefore, It has been decided to
appoint no more Spaniards among., the
new bishops. As a result of this decision
Mgr. Nozaleda, archlblshop of Manila,
now here, has tendered his resignation,
and will proceed to Spain, where he will
hereafter reside.
Philippine Tariff Collections.
WASHINGTON, March .20.-Secretary
Shaw has Issued a circular to customs
officers, directing them to keep and ren
der separate accounts of all collections
made under the Philippine tariff act ap
proved March S, 1902. All moneys received
in the United States under the provisions
of this act arc to be deposited to the
credit of tho Treasurer of the United
States, to bo returned to the Philippine
Government.
General Smith. Ordered Home.
WASHINGTON, March 20. An order
was issued today relieving Brigadier-General
Jacob H. Smith from further duty
In the Division of the Philippines and di
recting him to proceed to San Antonio,
Texas, to assume command of tho Depart
ment of Texas. General Smith Is in com
mand of the troops which aro conducting
such a vigorous campaign In Samar.
AERIAL RACE TRACK.
SantoB-DBBiont's Flan for St. Loala
Airship Content!.
PARIS, March 20. M. Santos-Dumont,
the aeronaut. In an interview hero today,
appeared very enthusiastic concerning
his approaching trip to the United States.
He said:
"I have decided to go to St. Louis and
assist In drawing up the rules for tho
Aerial contests of 1903. I will take with
me as far as New York tho 45-horso
power motor, the frame work and the two
propellors of my balloon No. 7.
"My Idea Is to make a sort of aerial
track, say 15 miles in circumference,
around St. Louis, marked by captive
balloons and visible for the whole
distance from one to several times around
the track. But I am strongly In favor
of establishing one big race, a sort of
aerial grand prix, with a $100,000 prize.
This would be a stimulus to competition
and should- attract a" number of the In
ventors of the various dirigible balloons.
I shall certainly participate in the con
tests and I hope to meet many rivals.
"I shall investigate the possibilities of
a contest at New York in the Autumn
and if I And the prize offered to be of a
sufficient amount. I will return and try
to win It, as I did the Deutsch prize.''
When asked how large this prize should
be, M. Santos-Dumont replied:
"I think it ought to be about 500,000
francs, because my expenses will be
heavy; It will coat about 100,000 francs
to build a balloon shed. I will not return
to New York unless a prize be offered for
competition." v

CABLE FOR LEADER
Democrats in Congress Turn
to Anti-Bryan Man.
THEREBY CONFESS WEAKNESS
So Mch In Hoase or Senate Consid
ered Capable of Managing Con
gressional Campaign Hoose-velt-Mlles
Difference.
WASHINGTON", March 20. It Is a con
fession of weakness by the present Demo
cratic membership of Congress that in
I neither the Senate nor the House is there
a man who is thought capable of being
chairman of the Congressional campaign
committee. The position -was offered to
Gorman, but he declined, -and It Is now
said that Ben T. Cable, who was once a
member of Congress from Illinois, is to
have the position. Beyond all question,
Cable is an able man, and his appoint
ment will show the trend of Democratic
opinion, as Cable was a warm friend of
Cleveland, and one of those who rejected
the Chicago platform of 1S95. and who
bitterly opposed the 16 to 1 proposals at
Kansas City. His would be a distinctly
anti-Bryan selection. One reason for go
ing outside of the House for a chairman
of the committee is that Richardson of
Tennessee, having been notified -that he
could not have the place, It Is possible
that any other member who was selected
might, in case of a Democratic, victory
this Fall, Insist that he was entitled to
the Speakership as a reward. The Dem
ocrats of the House desire to keep the
Speakership open in case a victory oc
curs, as theer are several candidates.
Rooscvelt-MlIeK Breach. Widens.
Tho breach widens betweon the Admin
istration and General Miles. Under Mc
Klnley, both Alger and Root had serious
contentions with General Miles, and it
amounted to a breach between the Presi
dent and the Commanding General, but
McKlnley had a way of smoothing over
these difficulties not possessed by Roose
velt. In the war with Spain, and on
several occasions following. Miles did
things that were very displeasing to Mc
Klnley, but the latter recognized the pop
ularity of the General before tho people,
and felt that any open breach between
them would be Injudicious. This was the
explanation given at different times when,
questions arose showing a lack of har
mony between the Commander-in-Chief
and the Commanding General.
Roosevelt Is not so mild-mannered a
man, and he feels keenly that Miles' posi
tion has a tendency to discredit the Ad
ministration before the country. Some
think Miles may have been actuated by
the best motives in offering his plan for
the pacification of the Philippines. Others
believe it was a political play, and intend
ed to gain him prominence before the
country. The publication that his plan
was rejected constitutes the most severe
breach, as all things military are usually
considered confidential, at least until the
operations which they affect are conclud
ed one way or another.
Suggestions have been made that, under
the law. the President has the power to
retire Mile?, who has reached the age
of 62. and It is stated also that he realizes
that such action would make a martyr of
Miles, and he does not Intend to take any
such action. The situation is more dis
agreeable to Secretary Root than to any
one else, as he has fully approved all
that has been done in the Philippines,
and. In fact, nothing was done until it
was duly considered and approved by
him. To reverse the methods In the Phil
ippines would be to discredit Root, and
that Is the way he feels about the plans
submitted by Miles.
'o Action on Ide's Xominatlon.
The committee on commerce met today,
but took no action In the case of Clarence
W. Ide, nominated for Collector of Cus
toms in Washington. No protests nave
been filed; In fact. Senator Foster has
not yet received any of the letters which
he has been Informed would be sent, op
posing Ido's confirmation.

VENEZUELAN REVOLUTION.
Progress of the Movement Headed by
General Mato. ,
WILLEMSTAD, March 20. The Vene
zuelan revolution, headed by General Ma
tOB, seems to be taking form. Eight hun
dred revolutionists under General Penal
ozo are besieging Carupano, a seaport
town in the State of Bermudese, and the
revolutionists under General Molagas have
surrounded Barcelona, capital of the State
of Bermudese. General Velutlni, the
Venezuelan Minister of War, has been
despatched on a special mission to Bar
celona, but it is said that he will arrive
there too late.
General RIera, who escaped the pursuit
of the government troops near Cumarebo,
In the State of Falcon, Is marching in the
direction of Tucacas, a seaport town In
the State of Lara, which place Is to be
attacked on land tyy his troops and from,
the sea by the revolutionary steamer Boli
var, also known as the Llbertador. The
government is sending troops to El Hacha
to Intercept General Riera and prevent
the Junction of his troops with the revolu
tionists in the Barqulslmeteo district.
It is reported that General Rolando has
landed at Maturin. In the State of Bermu
dese. The revolutionists have cut the ca
ble to Barcelona, and consequently the
Venezuelan Government Is without news
from Carupano.
The situation Is said to be critical for
President Castro. The Bolivar was at
Pirltu, State of Bermudese. March 12.
During the night of March 13 she was off
this island, and March 14 she was off Coro,

RESOLUTIONS OF CONVENTION
Hanna. Xamcs Committee on Concll-
iatlon to Arbitrate Disputes
Between Capital and
2 i Labor. . -
SHAMOKIN, Pa., March 20. The most
Important feature of today's session of
the convention of Districts Nos. l, 7 and
9. United Mineworkers of America, was
the adoption at the afternoon session of
several resolutions. These were the re
sult of various alleged grievances an
nounced In the convention by the differ
ent delegations, and were presented by
the committee on resolutions. Most of
them were of sectional, rather than gen
eral. Interest, but their tone was not the
less emphatic. The first resolution de
manded an eight-hour day In all the col
lieries of the anthracite region. Others,
were adopted as follows: Demanding the
recognition of mine committees by oper
ators in the adjustment of disputes re
mitting in local strikes; declaring oppo
sition to working with men not members
of the Mineworkers' Union; favoring ar
bitration of trade disputes; condemning
the system of blacklisting by companies
of discharged employes.
President Mitchell said the scale com
mittee would probably not present Its con
clusions until tomorrow. Referring to the
letters of the presidents of the operating
companies, Mr. Mitchell said: "We do
not regard them as a recognition of the
union in any degree."
Thomas Barnett and James Mullahy, of
Wllkesbarre, state president and secre
tary, respectively, of the Firemen's Union,
arrived here today to appear before the
convention In behalf of the mine flremen.
They desire the co-operation of the United
Mineworkers in their efforts to secure an
eight-hour working day. The flremen are
not affiliated with the mineworkers.

Company did not take place at mldnlgnt,
as scheduled. The strike, to become ef
fective, hod to be approved by District
Assembly. No. 3. K. of L. This assembly
met tonight, and, after hearing the griev
ances of the men, decided unanimously
against striking at this time. The men,
however, were advised to take their griev
ances to their superintendent, instead of
going- over his head, as they did in this
instance. If Superintendent Daley fails to
satisfy the men, then the District Assem
bly will take up the matter. Mr. Daley
says he will meet the men at any time,
and next Wednesday has been named as
the day for a conference. In the mean

rectly warned the operators that unless
their demand is granted within a week, a
strike .will be ordered. The prospect of
compromise appears very remote.
