POLITICAL SITUATION SERIOUS
Otis Oava In to tlie A<in>lnl.tr«tlon
When He .Made Hi. Katlmnle of the
Number of Troops Required.
New York, June 2.—A special to the
Herald horn Washington says:
Major-General Miles is an advocate
of the dispatch of reinforcements to
General Otis. He declined to d.sense
tho political position in the Pltilip-
I pines other than to say it was serious,
nor would he give any idea of the
troops that should be sent to the Phil
ippines to place the archipelago under
American control.
General Marcus P. Miller, who re-
| cently arrived from the Philippines,
where he governed Ilo Ilo, has been
living here since his return. General
Miller’s view as to the number of men
requited for the subjugation of the
islands is very different from that of
General Otis. He believes 65,000 men,
at least, are required; 30,000 for the
control of Luzon, and the remainder
for the restoration of peace and order
in the other islands.
General Miller’s view coincides with
General Lawton’s and that of other offi
cers subordinate to General Otis. In
fact, in other than administration cir
cles there is a disposition to believe
that General Otis’ estimate of the men
required was made when he knew of
the desire of the president not to raise
volunteers if possible to avoid it.
There is no truth in the story that
General Miles lias applied to be sent
to Manila. General Miles would not
wish to take any action to displace
General Otis when that officer is doing
all he can to quell the rebellion with
the limited means at his command.
Notwithstanding the report to the con
trary, the president is satisfied with
General Ots’ course, and has no inten
tion of relieving or recalling him. It
is equally untrue, it is asserted by Act
ing Secretary Meiklejohn, that Gen
eral Otis has cabled that he will be
compelled to retreat unless promptly
reinforced.
ATLIN
ORE
DISCOVERY.
Young Woman Locate« a Vein a Mile
Long.
Chicago, Jun« 27.— A special to the
Chronicle from Tacoma, Wash., says:
“Miss Frankie Flormon, of the Black
Hills, 8. D., has discovered what Atlin
mining men believe will become the
greatest quartz mine in Alaska and
Bi it is h Columbia. It consists of an ore
vein from 200 to 600 feet in width and
nearly a mile long. In its course this
immense vein is intersected by Atlin
City. The ledge is a true fissure of
free milling ore, with a hanging wall
of serpentine and a foot wall of quart
zite. The largest surface assay is *27,
and many assays average *8, making it
much richer than the famous Tread
well mine, if these values continue
with the depth. To determine this,
shafts ate now being sunk.
Mies
Flormon, het father and friends have
located claims covering the entire
ledge. It was discovered by her two
mouths ago, while sne was hunting for
mineral. She iiae been prospecting in
Atlin for some time with her father,
who is a well-known mining expert.
After making her first location, Miss
Flormon superintended the work of
snipping tiie ledge to determine its ex
tent. Siie lias also acquired a site for
a stamp mill, and has water rights.

fator, has bonded her interest for

OF
THE
WEST.
Controller Dawe* Saw on
Trip to tiie Coait*
Hi*
Chicago, June27.—Controller Dawes
. was in Chicago today on his return
journey from Puget Sound, whither he
accompanied Senator Fairbanks, of In
diana. The latter went up to Alaska
on the revenue cutter McCulloch to in
vestigate the boundary dispute. The
controller spoke of the financial condi
tion of the West, and other matters of
cutreut interest, saying:
“Today the West is becoming a
creditor instead of a debtor, and is do
ing a large portion of its business with
its own capital. Many of the banks
in the West, which a few years ago
were rediscounting large lines of paper
at high rates, in the East, are now
competitors in tlie making of loans in
the Eastern market.
“The condition of business through
out the West is extremely good, and in
marked contrast with
conditions
which existed there several years ago.
The people seemed to be engaged al
most exclusively in the development of
the great resoucies of the country.
“The West of 1892 was in a great
measure devoted to speculating upon
future values, as was to a certain ex
tent the oase throughout the country;
but the West of 1899 is developing
present values. While the Western
man of 1892 dealt largely in equities,
he is is now dealing very largely in un
encumbered fees. The recovery of the
West from the depression of 1893 has
been splendid.
That such complete
recovery could be made on the Pacific
coast in a few years is a commentary
upon the great resources of the coun
try, and a tribute to the character of
its population.
“There seems to be a general senti
ment on the part of the people on the
coast that the Alaska-boundary diffi
culty will be properly and rightfully
settled without trouble. They fee),
however, the kenest interest in the
subject, and fully realize the import
ance of a proper decision to their own
commercial welfare.
“The question of Asiatio commerce
has become one of added interest and
impoitance to tiie coast since Dewey’s
victory at Manila, and the aggressive
ness and alertness which the Western
people have heretofore shown in com
mon will inure to tlie betterment of
our commerce with Asia in a marked
degree.”
