Washington, Nov. 4.— In accordance
with the understanding reached at the
conference at the White House yester-
day, the Philippine commission sub­
mitted to the president the preliminary
report which it had promised to pre­
pare.
The report appears to be a coni|>aet
summary of conditions on the islands
as the commission left them; of the his-
torical events which preceded the
Spanish war and led to the original
F'ilipino insurrection; of the exchanges
between Admiral Dewey and the otht
American commanders and the insur­
gents, the breaking out and progress of
the present insurrection, and finally a
statement of the capacity of the F'ili-
pinos for self-government. A notable
feature of the report is a memorandum
by Admiral Dewey, explanatory of his
relations with Aguinaldo.
The commission tells briefly how it
conducted the task intrusted to it,
hearing statements from all classes of
people in Manila as to the capability
of the F'ilipi«io8 for self-government,
the habits and customs of the people,
and also the establishment of municipal
governments iu many towns. A ll this
matter is to be included in the final
report.
necessity for haste being dne to the
fact that the squadron had lieen notified
by the Hong Kong government to leave
those waters by the following day.
The squadron left Hong Kong on the
morning of the 26th, and Mirs bay on
the 27th. Aguinaldo did not leave
Singapore nntil the 26th, and so did
not arrive in Hong Kong in time to
have a conference with tlio coinmo1
dore.’
,
“ It had been reported to the commo­
dore as early as March 1 by tho United
States consul at Manila and others,
that the F’iliipnoa had broken out in
insurrection against the Spanish author­
ity in the vicinity of Manila, and on
March 80 Mr. Wiliams had
tele­
graphed: ‘ Five thousand rebels armed
in camp near city. Loyal to us in case
j of w ar.’
Upon the arrival of the Bquadron at
Manila it was found there was no In­
surrection to R|ieak of, and it was ac­
cordingly decided to allow Aguinaldo
to come to Cavite on board tho McCul­
loch. He arrive*!, with 13 of his staff,
I on May 19, and immediately came on
j board the Olympia to call on the oom-
mander-in-chief, after which he was
allowed to laud at Cavite and organzi«
an army. This was done with the
pnrjose of strengthening the United
States forces and weakening those ol
the enemy. No alliance of any kind
was entered into with Aguinaldo, not
was any promise of independence mad«

Manila, Nov. 7.— This evening a fleet
of transports and gunboats left Manila
for the most important expedition of
the autumn campaign. Its destina­
tion is supposed to be Dagupan, or
some other northern port. General
Weaton commands, with a brigade con­
sisting of the Thirteenth infantry, the
Thirty-third infantry, two guns of the
Sixth artillery and two gatliugs. The
transports Sheridan, F'ranoisoo de Reys
and Azteo carry the troops, with the
gunboat Helena as escort.
A dis-
oatch boat was sent ahead to arrange
a rendezvous with the United States
cruiser Charleston and the warships
that are patrolling the northern coast
of Luzon.
It is assumed here that the purpose
of the expedition is to move down the
Dagupan-Manila
railroad
towards
Tarlac, in order to prevent Aguinaldo’s
forces making another base further
south. Dagupan and Apparri are the
strongholds of the insurgents iu the
north.
It has been the unanimous opinion of
military experts that Dagupan Bhould
be made a base of operations, bnt suffi­
cient troops have heretofore been lack­
ing. W ith Generals Wheaton, Mac-
Arthur and Lawton moving upon Tarlac
from three directions, and the moun­
tains hemming in the other side, the
insurgents’ capital w ill soon become
untenable. Aguinaldo may attempt to
shift his headquarters to the rich tobac­
co country at the northern end of the
island. It w ill be difficult for the
insurgents to escape.
Should the
scheduled operations succeed, organ­
ized insurrection on a large scale should
be[at an end early next spring,although
guerrila warfare is likely to continue
for a long time.
No one anticipates
that the insurgents w ill make many
hard battles.

Colonel Smith killed 11 insurgents,
wounded 128 and captured 60, as well
as taking a lot of insurgent transporta­

The evacuation of Colnnso is un­

to the complete investment of Lady­

Chicago, Nov. 6.— The northeast
gale, which lias lieen raging for over 48
hours and brought the first snow of the
season to this locality, still continues.
Life savers at various lake points have
lieen kept busy watching for and aid­
ing vessels in distress. The following
vessels were reported as being iu trouble
at various points:
Schooner W illiam
H. Dunham,
ashore near St. Joseph, Mich.; steamer,
name unlnown, ashore near Bois Blanc
Island; schooner Kate Lyons, stranded
near Cathead; schooner Elgin, put in
at Milwaukee, leaking badly.
The fleet of sheltered vessels in Chi­
cago liarlxir last night was reported as
greatly increased.
Over 240 lioats
have been reported in shelter during
the last two davs, which makes an un­
usually large list.

port.
The dead man lashed to the rigging
was apparently 50 years of age. On
his left temple was a deep cut, prob­

signature "D . 8. W ay” was found on a
number of papers and effects in the
cabin. The name “ D. 8. W ay” was
found also on the silverware. In the
cabin was found a woman’s complete
wardrobe.
In the cabin there was a fully

London, Nov. 8.— The Daily Mall
publishes the following dispatch froir
Ladysmith, dated Wednesday morn­
ing:
“ Matters today are quiet.

Boers are apparently mounting more
heavy guns to the north and northeast,
which are likely to give us trouble. A
Boer contingent, 1,600 strong, is clear-

London, Nov. 6.— There is very littU
fresh intelligence today, but it is bn
lieved that the Delagoa bay cable
route. If not already restored, speedily
w ill lie, tlins giving quicker communi­
cation with the Cape.
The situation is still hopeful. Th.
»ocounts that continue to arrive re­
garding the fighting on Farquhar’s
farm only confirm its serious nature
aud the narrow escape General Whit»
had. On this point, the Morning Pori
remarks:
"N othing tellB such a tale of battle
as the list of the missing. When the
missing exceed the killed, it is safe to
write defeat across the story, because
missing
means
abandonment
or
surrender."
It now appears as if It were only the
arrival of the naval contingent from
the Powerful whlchr prevented a worse
disaster. It seems that when it wot
seen that retirement was imperative
two Natal cavalrymen volunteered t6
convoy a dispatch across the Boer lines
to Major Adye, ordering him to retire,
but the risk was considered too great,
and flag signaling was employed in­
stead. The distance was too great and
the ground too rough for cavalry to go
to his assistance.
Accordiing to dispatches filed Tues­
day, defensive works were being con­
structed on the hills around Lady­
smith, and It was expected there that
the big naval guns would be mounted
the following day.
The Boers were threatening to attaok
the town in force Wednesday and
Thursday, and the women, children
and other non-combatants were being
sent by train to the Bouth. Ladysmith
is provisioned for two months.
