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troops are withdrawn.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.

ilKMl'.KItri OF TUB HIGH
COMJIISHl'iN AT TAC'OMA.
They Hold a Conference Wltb Washing
ton Lumbermen on the Tar. ft
t question,
TAC'OMA, Wash., June fc.-Hon. Chariea
W. Fairbanks, chairman of the United
Ktates high commission, and has party
arrived 111 Tacoma today and will remain
xvetal days. This afternoon Senator
Kulrimnks addreaeed tho represcnlalUw
of the great tlr lumber mills of the I'a.-
olio northwest. The coal mlue owners
ere alao present and Joined In the dla
tiiwuD uf the tariff, the proposed treaty
with C'unada and the effect of these mat
ters upon the AUakan boundary. 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."
ARMOR PLATE QUESTION

Secretary Long Decides to Buy but a
Small Quantity of Harveyized
Armor.
WASHINGTON. June S - .Secretary
Long has passed on the armor bids re
cently submitted, deciding to purchase
but a small quantity of armor and let
the next congress decide what shall be
done towards securing the remainder
needed for tha armored ships already au
thor lied.
The armor companies having stated
that they could not furnish Krupp armor
of the high grade required by the depart
ment at the price fixed by law, but that
they could continue to supply Harveyiied

ordered the purchase of some of the lat
ter. The bureau chiefs have reported

THE ALASKA
BOUNDARY
Modus Vivendi Will Probably
Be Sigsed in Londca
Today.
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 first two points were easily fixed;
but there was a hitch of a moment over
the location of the divisional point on
the Dalton trail. 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.
BLAND'S CONDITION HOPELESS.

Mr. Bland appeared somewhat brighter
