CARLE FROM OTIS ON THE SITUATION. Relieved that the Rebellion lifts Degener. a ted Into a Scattered 'Band of Maranders. WASHINGTON. June 8.-Tho situation In the Philippines Is described by General Otis In the following cable: "Manila. June 8. Adjutant General, Washington: The result of the move ments In Morons province was to drive the InsunK onts into the mountains, oap. t 11 ring Antlpoll and other towns la that section. They retreated and scattered be fore our advance, leaving S5 dead on the field. Our loss was four killed and a few wounded, mostly alight. The city of Morons Is garrisoned. All other troops are withdrawn. The inhabitants of the provinces profess friendship and ask protection. "Large numbers wish to enter Manila, but are refused, as the city's population Is Increasing too rapidly. Leading; na tives about the Island, Including active insurgent lenders, seek permtssUn to send their families to Manila. It la considered tho only place of personal security." The conclusion drawn by the war de pat'tment ofllclnls concerning fhe condi tions In the Philippines, given In' the dispatch of General Otis, are that tho In surgents are little more than a maraud ing band which will continually decrease when the men find there Is life and liberty under the American government. The people who are coming Into the American lines asking protection are considered like those who sought protection In th. forts during the early stages of American development In the West.

At this mteti:'' Senator Addison G. Foster pre sided and favored a reduction of 2U per cent In the tariff on lumber, provided the urlff on that ankle was made a part of the treaty wr:h Canada. E.- G. Ames, who was present at several meetings uf the Joint high commission in Washing ton, made an official statement In behalf of the lumbermen. Like half a doi n other leading mill oK-rator who spoke, Ames Insisted on protection for American lumber, but agreed wkh Swiator Foster, provided the tariff on lumber was fixed permanently as a treaty obligation, that a reduction of per cent would be acceptable and preferable to the uncertainty of political Influences nd tariff tinkering by those unacquainted with the necessities and conditions of trade. Ames said: "I think I voice the sen timent of the lumbermen of Washington, Oregon and California by suggesting rhat a reduction of SO P" nt on rough lumber will be considered the ultimatum of tlv American members of the Joint high commission to their Canadian asso ciates, and that no concession will be mad on dressed lumber or on small lumber."

THREE POINTS ARGUED ON Tbe Argument Will Be Snfficient to Prevent Any Fnrtner Conflict. MR. BLAND IS DYING Eoflanl Tbiaklof Seriously of Oft- IfifOll Mas Krufef a De serve! Thrashing-. WASHINGTON. June S.-Wben the .Uia department closed for the day It was with the expectation on the part of the officials that the modus vlvendi which ba bevn under negotiation In London, would be completed and signed tomorrow. This signature will probably take place 1 in London, aa between Ambassador C'boate and Lord Salisbury, unUs the program Is changed over night. Assum in that the agreement is on the exact lines of the instructions sent, the modus will fix the provisional boundary line be- twcwi Alaska and Canada at three points near the head of Lynn Canal. These will be sufficient K Is expected to prevent any further conflicts. These points ate as follows: On Whhe Pass, at the old Canadian custom bouse in the pass; on the Chllcoot pass, likewise at (he Canadian custom house which has exltd t&r ihp, ruist IV mnnthv' nn th . , . . ., Dahon trail Just above the Indian vll- lage of Kluckwan.

The point named Is at the dead of Canoe tiavigatlon and 15 miles a bow the tide water which the Canadians sought so strenousty to reach. The Modus provides only tor a tem porary delimitation; but here Is great reason to believe that the lines It will establish In the end will be accepted by borh parties as the best solution of the vexed boundary Issue.
