. CANNED ROAST BEEF
W ashington, A pril 21.—The news of
the firm a ttitu d e assumed by the state
departm ent tow ard the Turkish gov­
ernm ent in the prosecution of its claim
for damages to American missionary
property caused something of a sensa­
tion in diplom atic circles today. Three
successive A m erican ministers have
prosecuted these claim s; each received
a prom ise of prom pt settlement, and
yet not a dollar has been paid.
W ith
European diplom ats th a t is an old e x ­
perience, and they have consequently
been som ew hat surprised a t the a n ­
nouncem ent th a t th e United States
governm ent is actually going to in sist
upon perform ance, instead of prom ise.
M inister A ngell, after trying his
hand a t collection for two years, rec­
ommended th a t a U nited States w ar­
ship be sent to seize Sisyrna and col­
lect revenues s t the „atom-house there
sufficient to m eet our claims.
This
suggestion was not seriously en tertain ­
ed, nor is it now. In the first place,
according to the state departm ent offi­
cials, the most im portant bssiness in ­
terests in Sm yrna are in the hands of
foreigners, not Turks, and a bom bard­
m ent by a U nited States fleet m ight
resu lt in a pretty bill for damages
against ns. Then, as there is still a
rem nant of a Turkish navy, the U nited
States would have to send a squadron,
instead of a single ship. Such a move­
m ent would, w ithout doubt, be resent­
ed by the rem ainder of Europe, which
could not contem plate w ith equanim ity
an action by the U nitea States th at
would perhaps destroy th e fruits of
many years’ w ork of the greatest Euro­
pean statesm en by precipitating a final
crisis in Turkey.
Therefore, the im portant step to be
taken by our goverutn ent w ill not be
w arlike, bnt w ill still suggest in a
most dignified m anner the indignation
felt by the U nited States a t the betray­
al of T urkish promises. How this a t­
titu d e w ill hear upou the Turkish m in­
ister in W ashington cannot be foretold
a t th is m om ent. He has so far abso­
lutely been unentangled in the negotia­
tions of the A m erican claim s, but th a t
fact m ight not save him from being
made the im m ediate victim of his
co u n try ’s laches. The m inister, how­
ever, is very popular in W ashington.
The proved claim s against Turkey in­
clude about $300,000 for the destruc­
tion of property alone.
To these,
w hich adm itted of practically no dis­
pute, there w as added the Lentz claim
of $40,000, w hich was presented by
Secretary Olney.
Tacoma, A pril 21.— A ccording to an
officer of th e N orthern Pacific steam ­
ship Goodwin, over 10,000 Japanese
were booked for passage to th is coast in
Kolie and Yokohama, iu the tw o weeks
preceding th e sailing of the Goodwin
from Jap an . Of th is large arm y of
coolies, over 8,400 arrived on the sound
inside of three days; the R iojun Marn
having 1,300 aboard, the G erm an
steam er Milos 1,014, and th e Goodwin
1,117, w hile the Braem ar is following
w ith 1,016 of them , and several other
ships clearing for P ortland and other
ports containing the rem ainder of this
arm y of coolie laborers.
According to th is officer, im m igra­
tion agents have been “ w orking” the
ag ricu ltu ral d istricts of Jap an for re­
cru its, tellin g the Jap s th a t a ll they
have to do is raise $60 in gold to be
transported to a country flowing w ith
m ilk and honey, and w here every man
w ill be given an easy position a t $1 a
day gold. To prove they are telling
th e tru th , these agents show letters
from Ja p s in th is country and photo­
graphs of them dressed equal to the
w h ite m erchants in the ports.
W ith such b rig h t prospects in view,
the parents of a large fam ily of boys
are induced to borrow money on th eir
farms, or to raise it by m ortgaging the
earnings of th e hoys and th e farm for
$60. The agent engages passage for
them in the steerage of some of the
trans-P acific steam ships for $30 each,
th e balance being his comm ission; but
w hich he can only oollect after the
em igrants have arrived in th is country,
as the law requires each Japanese to
have a t least $80 on his arriv al here.
Not one of these men come to th is
country expecting to clear the forests
or to till the ground, but every one has
been led to believe an easy position a t
good wages in w h ite m en ’s houses
aw a its him .
This officer says if som ething is not
done soon to check th e influx of Ja p a n ­

W ashington, April 23.— W ar d epart­
m ent officials have been compelled to
resort to the use of canned roast beef
for the subsistence of the arm y in the
Philippines. This is due to the faot
th a t it is absolutely essential th a t the
soldiers shall be seived w ith fresh m eat
and because of the im possibility of pro­
viding refrigerator beef or cattle on the
hoof under existing conditions. When
the bulk of the arm y was located a t the
seashore and a t easily accessible points
there was no difficulty iu providing
them w ith fresh meats, h u t conditions
have now changed, and the arm y is
8matter«til among 160 points in various
parts of the archipelago, a great many
of them a t considerable distance from
the nearest shipping point. There ar*
no c a ttle available, and the refriger­
ated beef w hich hag heretofore formed
the principal basis of subsistence for
the troops cannot he preserved in good
condition long enough to reach many
of the Inland posts. Consequently it
became necessary to look for some su it­
able substitute, and the American
canned roast beef was the only thin;
found to meet the requirem ents.
The suggestions for its use came
originally from th e subsistence officers
in the Philippines, and the chief com­
m issary officer a t M anila recently ca­
bled a requisition for an im m ediate de­
livery of about 100,000 cans of roast
beef and subsequent deliveries a t the
rate of about 50,000 enns a m ont||
Acting Comm issary-General Webater
presented the m atter to the secretary
of w ar w ith a strong indorsem ent of
the proposition. As a m easure of ex­
trem e caution, however, Secretary Root
decided to get a personal opinion from
M ajor-General O tis before taking final
action. A cable message of inquiry
was forwarded a t once, and General
O tis’ reply was received todtiv. Its
te x t was not made publio, but its gen­
eral character may be clearly inferred
from the fact th a t instructions have
been sent to Colonel A lexander, the
com m issary officer a t Chicago, to a r­
range for the im m ediate dispatch of a
large q u an tity of roast beef to San
Francisco for shipm ent to M anila by
the first available steamer. Special
precaution w ill be taken to secure the
best q u ality of beef and to insure ita
proper care and preservation a t all
stagea of its long journey to the Philip-
pines.

of South Dakota, and Governor Povn-

proceedings of the governors of W est­
ern states, who have m et to discuss
subjects of interest to this section.
A fter a general discussion, the com­
m ittee appointed to form ulate resolu­
tions against the leasing of pnhlio arid
lands by the general governm ent and
dem anding the cession of such lands to
the several states should any change iu
the present system be made, reported
the following, w hich wero adopted:
“ Resolved, T hat the people of the
states here represented are opposed ab­
solutely to any legislation or any action
of any kind looking to, or having for ita
object, the leasing of the public lands
of the U nited States by the genera)
governm ent or any augeney thereof.
“ Resolved, second, T hat the present
laws providing for the control, m an­
agem ent and disposal of the publio arid
lands of the U nited States are best
adapted to the needs and requirem ents
of the country, and conducive to the
settlem ent and occupancy thereof by
bona fide settlers.
“ Resolved, th ird . T hat if it phall be
found th a t the present law s affeoting
the arid lands are not satisfactory to
the congress of the U nited States, then
we favor a cession of the said arid lauds
to the several states wherein they are
situated under such term s and condi­
tions as w ill guarantee the benefits of
the free homestead laws to the people
of the U nited States, and th a t w ill pre­
vent said lands eith er by fee simple
title, ot by the leasing thereof from
passing into th e possession or control
of largo com panies, syndicates, copror­
ations or w ealthy individuals iu large
quantities, to the exclusi u of others,
and under such conditions th a t the sev­
eral states may have the income «ris­
ing from said lands to be devoted to
the reclam ation and im provem ent
thereof for settlem ent
bona fide c iti­
zens.”
Governor Lee, of South D akota, was

San Francisco, A pril 23.— Henry
H oahstey, of O akland, who has re ­
turned from the seat of the Y aqui w ar,
iu Mexico, brings advices as follows:
The M exicans sent out word th a t the
w ar w as over, h u t a t the same tim e
4,000 troops were hastening to the
fiont. The Yaquis have about 6,000
men under arm s. They have Reming­
ton and M auser rifles and hows and
arrows. They have tw o cannons th at
84 Y aqnis captured from 200 Mexicans.
The Mexicans keep to the roads and
towns, w hile the Yaquis hold the Sier­
ras. M exicans estim ate the Y aquis at
15,000, but the population of Sonora is
a t least 120,000, and half of them are
Yaquis. The Indians have a peculiar
system for keeping th eir treasury in
funds. The w arriors altern ate between
the firing line and working in the mines
and on the ranches. T heir wages go
to the common fund. W ithin the past
two weeks several engagem ents have
been fought in w hch the government
troops were generally victorious.
In
a recent engagem ent between a party
of insurgents, the governm ent reports
17 Yaquis dead on the field. Only one
Mexican, an officer, w as killed, but
many w ere wounded.

M anila, A pril 24.—L ast week was
one of the bloodiest of the w ar since
the first d ay ’s fighting aronnd M anila,
authentic reports, mostly official, show ­
ing a total of 378 Filipinoa killed, 12
officers and 244 m en captured, and

The n um ber
w ounded ia hardly gueaeabie. Consid­
ering th a t the Filipinoa entirely lack
hospital facilities, a great m ajority of
the wounded w ill die. Probably the
w eek’s work finished 1,000 insurgents.
The A m erican loss was nine killed and
16 wounded. Two sergeants and one
private were killed iu ambushes, w hile
escorting provision trains.
The insurgents have been aggressive
In alm ost every province of Luzon.
G eneral Piodel P ila r’s band, num bering
800, w hich was out of sight for throe
m onths, the leader being reported
killed, has reappeared in its old field
about San M iquel. P ila r is supposed
to be again in com m and. He gave the
A m erican garrison a t San M iquel, con­
sisting of three companies of the T hirty-
fifth infuntry, w ith a G atling, three

The loss of the insurgents in th is en­
gagem ent is not included in the forego­
ing total, as they removed th eir dead
and wounded, b n t presum ably i t w as
considerable.
