THE PIULLIPINE QUESTION.
Different Aspect of Affair Peace
SlhL
in
Washington, July 27. -The lat conalder
atlon la the one which promist to give
more trouble than any other, namely Ihe
settlement of th Philippine. There I
reason to believe that the president haa
not determined how ttila aubjeot ahall t
treated. A coaling station la wanted there,
tut beyond that it may be that w may
not car to go.
An entirely different attitude might
have been assumed by our government,
but for the course adopted by tha In
surgents under Agulnaldo, which, it la as
serted, leave the United States under no
moral obllsatlona to care Xor his people.
Touching the question of indemnity rt
may be stated tnat our government win
not be in a mood to abandon any claim on
this score.
The president Is firmly of tho opinion
that the United States has no use for the
Philippine Islands as a permanent pos
session. The gravest problems of the gov
ernment would result wore an attempt
to be made to annex them, owing to tho
heterogeneous mil Ill-favored character
of the large population of the Islands,
while any effort to unite with tho other
powers in a joint aumisisu-aiion migm
be fairly expected to result ns unsatis
factorily us the tripartite arrangement
between tho United States and Oreat
Ilrttnln and Germany for the govern
ment of the Samonn group.
However, there are evidences that a
large element In tho United States are
of the opinion that tlhe Islands should be
acquired by the United 8tates, and It Is
hoped by the president that before it
conies to a formulation officially of a
United States demand, publlo sentiment
In this country, through newspaper dis
cussion, and otherwise, will have ao far

KLONDIKE RICHES.
Seattle, July T7.r-Th steamer Humboldt
arrived from St. Michaels thl afternoon
wtth 123 passenger from Dawson City
and about $1,000,000 tn gold dust and as
much more In draft.
This Is the estimate of Purser Twiggs,
who say that It I a very conservative
one. About $600,000 tn dust waa turned
over to him for tale-keeping.
Among the passengers were some old
timers, notably Ant one 8 lander, one of
tho original discoverer of Eldorado.
Stander had In his state room tour Iron
boxes full of nuggens, weighing about 1,200
pounds in all. Stander would not tell
how much gold he had, but It waa under
stood among tho passengers that It am
ounted to about I2o0,000.
John Erlckson, another Yukon miner
and pioneer, formerly of Callfonla, had
live wooden boxes aggreratlngl,300 pounl
under guard In his room. J. D. Mtueh lit
Seattle had a draft for H12.0OO, the pro
ceeds of tho salo of his claim No. 8 on the
Kltlonido. C. V. Hall and 11. C. L, dales
both formerly of Eureka, Cal., are credit
ed with ubout JSO.OtH) euch. O. N. Jack
son Is said o hnve had $20,000.
The nbovo named carried the largest
amounts. Otlu-r Individual holdings ran
from one to ten thousand dollars.
Antone Stander, who Is Interested with
Berry Brothers in four claims on Eldora
do creek, snys their clean-up thla sea
son was about half a million.
When a woman makes up her mind to
do a thing she will do It, you may be sure
of that. The trouble Is, though, that she
has a little feminine trick of changing her
mind about once a minute.

l:ni
Washington, July IT. Captain
Robley
IV Evans, commanding ihe Iowa, give
the follownig uccount of his ship's action
duping the engagement off Santl.iKu:
"U. S. S. Iowa, oft Santiago de Cuba,
July 4. Is:. Sir: 1 have the honor to
make the following report of the engage
ment with the SiKinlsh squadron off San
tiago de Cuba on the 3d of July:
"The leading vessel of the Spanish
squadron was sighted at S:3il coming out
of the harbor. The position of tills vessel
at the time was off the entrance of the
harbor. Morro castle bearing about north
and distant About threw ml lew. Immedl.
ately iion sighting the leading vessel the
officers were spread and the Iowa headed
. u,uc"? 7' ,T " ! I. .w .
" L"
at a instance of about 6,M yards. The
.tv i in', auvi fiaa iocvi uvui uiia ou.v
mnge was readily reduced to S.sOO yards
and subsequently to 2000 and to 1-M0 yards.
"When 4t waa certain that the Maria
Teresa would pass ahead of us, the helm
was put to starboard and the starboard
broadside waa delivered at a range ot 1.500
yards. The helm waa then put to port
and the ship headed, across the bow ot the
second ship and aa she drew ahead, the
helm was again put to starboard, and she
received tn turn the full weight of our
larboard broadside at a rang of about
1,800 yard.
The Iowa was again headed oft with
port helm for the third time and as she
approached the helm was put to the star
board until our course waa approximately
that of the Spanish ship. In this position
wtth a range ot 1,400 yards the fir of the
entire battery, ' Including" the rajrfd-fire
guns, was poured into Che enemy's ship.
"About 10 o'clock the enemy's torpedo
boat destroyers Furor and Pluton were
observed to have left the harbor and to
be following the Spanish squadron. As
soon aa they were discovered the secon
dary battery of this ship waa turned on
them, while the main battery continued
to engage the Vlicaya, Oquendo and
Maria Teresa.
"The tire from the main battery ot this
ship when the range was below 2,500 yards
was most effective and destructive, and
after continuance of this Are for perhaps
20 minutes It was noticed that the Maria
Teresa and Oquendo were In flames and
were being headed for tho beach. Their
colors were struck about 10:20 and they
were beached about eight miles west ot
Santiago.
"About the same time the Are of this
vessel, together with that of the Glou
cester and of another small vessel, be
came so destructive that one ot the tor
pedo destroyers (the Pluton) was sunk
and tho Furor was so much damaged that
she was run on the rocks. After having
passed the Oquendo and Maria Teresa on
fire and ashore, this vessel continued to
chase and Are upon the Vlxcaya until
10:56, when a signal to cease flrlng was
sounded on .board, It taavlmj been discov
ered that the Vlxcaya had struck her col
ors, ' At 11 o'clock the Iowa arrived la the
vicinity of the Vlxcaya, which had been
run ashore and as It was evident that she
could not catch thj Crlntobal Colon, and
that th Orciton, liro'iklyn and New York
would, two ateam cutteri and three other
-utt-r wore immediately sent to the
VlK:uya to p-acue her crtw. Our boat
auorexli'd In bringing off a large number
of onVTi and men of that alilp'e com
pany and la placing many of them on
board the torpedo boat Erleaaon and the
uu.ou; dlapatcb-boat HIat.
"About 11:9) the New Turk paaaed In
(hiiae of the Crlatobal Colon, which waa
erxlt-av'TlwT to racape from the Oregon,
Drooklyn and Texaa. We received on
iuaid thla ve.iiej from the Vlzcaya, Cap
