Herald from Washington aavs:
PreslJeflt McKlnley has determined
to urge agAln upon congress the au
thoriSAtton of a trans-rclflc cable
d wlll.be able te aoiuunc that
naval survey show that the route se
lected is practicable. Surveys ax being
made by tht collier Nero under the
command of lieutenant Commader
Hodge.
Because of tht complete soundings
taken In former rear between San
(Tancisco ana Hawaii there Is no ne
cessity for further work there
Lieutenant Commander Hodgva I
conOned himself to tb waters west
of Hawaii
Reports received by Rear-Admiral R.
B. farad ford, chief of the bureau of
equipment, show that tb Nero Drat
proceeded directly to the Midway isl
ands, sounding on the way And then
aig-sagged Across the line to determine
tre best polnu to locate the proposed
cable. From Midway Island the Nero
went to Guam And later went to Toko-
hama, where she Is now preparing for
tht return voyage. Bhe will sig-aag
across the Imaginary line drawn dur
ing the voyage from Guam to Yokoha
ma, make further soundings from
Guam to the Midway islands and again
to Honolulu.
No adverse reports hav been re
ceived concerning the route from
Guam to Manila, and from Guam to
Yokohama and the authorities are con
fident that no obstacle exist that can
prevent the laying of a cable from
San Francisco to Manila, touching
everywhere on American toil.
The I' lea of running a branch Une
from Guam to Yokohama arises from
the wish of the administration to make
the cable a commercial success. Al
though It l desired primarily for gov
ernment use. Tb praidnt appreciates
that congress may decide It Impolite
to have the cable constructed and
maintained at the expense of the .Uni
ted 8tates, and .should a private com
pany be allowed to take up the en
terprise the Yokohama lint would bt
An Important consideratloa.
Tne work of laying a cable among the
Philippine Islands has been delayed by
the mishap to the cable, ship Hooker.
The vessel will be temporarily repaired
at Cavltt and then sent to Hongkong
where she will rapidly be put In com
mission, a the (military authorities
desire the prompt establishment of the

CHINESE IN THE PHILIPPINES,
The Manila American Discusse Their
Condition and Legal Status.
Concerning the order of General Otis
to enforce the Chinese Immigration law
and Chinese exclusion act Against the
Chinese in the Philippines, the Manila
American says:
In the native Inhabitants of these
Islands the Chinos long ago discovered
a kindred race, the climate suited him
and he found the country naturally
richer and less .crowded than China.
Since then he has been here. And as
the country cannot very well do with
out hlrn. It Is safe to say he Is here to
stay, ill sojourn In the land and his
association with the native mounted
his Ideas a little.
Most of the Chinos born In the
Islands have forsworn their allegiance
to the emperor of China. They wear
no oupue. and after living their lire
here they have no desire that after.
death their bodies should rest In the soil
of the Flowery Kingdom.
Chinos have Intermarried largely with
the Tajtalos and Mestizos, and a a
class the Chinese Mestizo have seem
Ingly mor than held their own. Vn
iter the Spanish rent me many of them
hid acquired wealth and received a p.
puimmrnt to important positions. To
dity ther are lot or Chinese Uestlios

list the sympathies of member of con
gress In order to obtain a congressional
Investigation of the beef scandal.
. There Is no Intention on th part of
the administration to restore General

that he should Apply for retirement In

here a determined effort will be made to ,
Induce him to apply for retirement, but ;
many think he will not do so, In view
of the fact that he Is now drawing full':
