Russia's coup has caused a profound

had led to expectations that Hussta

ihev had been revealed to the powers.
The latest maneuvers are viewed as a

ALL ADVANCE AGENTS
FOR AMERICAN INTERESTS
CSood Word Spoken for Missionaries In
China By One Who Had
- Opposed Them.
San Francisco. May 8.-Frd'erlck .
Stratum, collector of the port, returned
from a tour of the orient today. Mr
Stratton In referring, to his trip, said:
Th Boxer movement In China hus
been exaggerated, although dlwa.tlsfac
tlon certainly exists and may brenk
Into Hume at any moment.
"The use of American products as
well as Imports Into the United Stutce
are both on the Increase, but our com
merce is being largely carried both
ways by foreign bottoms.
I went out opposed to the mleslonary
movement In China; at least I had no
sympathy with it. I, however, have
been converted by what I have seen.
America leads all others In philanthrop
ic and religious work In the orient, ana
the reeults while slow, are In my opin
ion, sure, and the foundation Is being
splendidly laid. Commercially speaking
the missionaries are the advance agents
to American commercial enterprises,
"In the Philippines business Is depres
sed and times are somewhat hard. The
monetary system Is somewhat uncer
tain, the Rhlnderpest has destroyed
nearly all the beasts ot burden and for
two years there has been considerable
drought. American commercial enter
prise, I think, ,lenunds the admission
of Chinese 1n tho Philippine Islands."

. FILIPINOS ARE INDOLENT.
But General Baldwin Saps the Islands
Are Pacified.
Detroit, May . In an Interview yes
terday afternoon at the Loyal Legion
banqu?!. General Baldwin said:
"Too much credit cannot be given
the regular troops for the superb man
ner In which they have done the hard
work In the Philippines. They have
shown. Just what stuff goes to make up
the fnlted States army.
"The Filipinos are Indolent to a mark
ed degroe and they have absolutely no
confidence In what they are told to do
by the American officers. Possibly this
should be modified In the extent that
they have no confidence In the prom
ises made them. This Is due to their
past 300 years' experience. In time it
may be possible to educate the Filipino
to exert himself so he' will do some
thing. The pacification of the Islands ts
practically complete."
