Washington, Sept. 16.—Secretary
Root emphatically overruled General
Shatter today, in determining that the
Thirty-fifth should embark for Manila
at Portland, unless there was unsur*
mountable obstacles. These lie could
not find in the reports from Shafter and
the quartermasters.
The pleas about length of time and
impossibility of sending ships were
considered by the secretary as inade
quate. Two transport ships can be
sent up the Columbia, and he eaw no
reason why they should not sail from
Portland direct for Manila. As the
ships could not return to the United
States in time to carry other troops to
Manila, the delay, even if it was all
the opposition claimed, was unimpor
tant, in the opinion of the secretary.
The transports will be fitted out at
San FranciBco with everything except
what the regiment carries. When the
troops come to Portland, they will bo
allowed to parade in the city before
they embark. This will bedetermined
by the commanding officer.
The secretary felt that all Portland
and Oregon had done for the country,
entitled them to favorable considers
tion of the request for the embarkation
of troops at the Oregon metionolis.
Representative Tongue has tele

gon, chartered by the government,
could be used for the transportation of

THEY
WANT
PROTECTION
Natives Praying for the Arrival of the
A mericans.
Washington, Sept. 16.—Mail advices
received at the war department from
Manila state that the natives of the
island of Samar are praying for the
speedy arrival of the Americans and
will welcome the hoisting of the
American flag. It is said that, as a
result of the forcible collection of taxes
by the emissaries of the insurgents,
who take all they have got, the natives
are in a state of semi-starvation. They
have no faith in the Tugale, and they
earnestly desire American protection.
An insurgent leader, General Luz-
ban, has bolted to Japan, taking with
him *2,600 collected by him for the
insurgents.
The agents of the insurgents endeav
or to force the natives to join their
forces, which they will not do. The
condition of the island, it is asserted,
is rapidly approaching riot and an
archy, as the heavy and continued drag
upon the natives In tho form of tribute
exasperates them, and they, as the let
ter says, threaten despeiatedisturbance
if it continues.

New York, Sept. 15.—A dispatch to
the World from Hong Kong says:
The United States trauspoi t Tartar,
which expected to sail today, has been
detained by the haibor authorities un
der the British merchant shipping act,
whereby her capacity is limited to 750
passengers, although the Tartar has a
licensed capacity of 1,280.
Consul Wildman, representing the
United States govenrment. who took
the matter at once before the local gov
ernment authorities, maintained that
the Tartar is an American troopship,
although she is flying the British flag,
and is nut subject to the merchant
shipping act. The authorities have
been discussing the matter all day, and
it is very probable that 450 of the sol
diers on board will be detained when
she is finally permitted to sail for San
Francisco.
Several of the discharged soldiers on
board the Tartar tiled the complaints
as to her unsanitary condition, which
staited the proceedings to detain the
vessel.

Little improvement seems to be noted
in wheat though the government report

Lumber retains all ita old strength and
some new buying is resjarnsible for ad

This is true also of most building ma

which is rather weak owing to reported
