I Washington, Feb. 5.—In compliance with a resolution of inquiry, the presi dent has sent to the senate a copy of the report and all accompanying papers of Brigadier-General J. C. Bate«, in relation to the negotiation of a treaty of agreement made by him with the ' sultan of Sulu, last August. In reply- ' ing to the request the president says: “The payments of money required by the agreement will be made from the revenues of the Philippine island^, un less congress shall direct otherwise. Such payments are not for specific ser vices, but are a part of the considera tion going to the sultan, tribe or nation under the agreement, and they are stipulated as subject to the action of congress, in conformity with the prac tice of this government from the earliest times in its agreements with the vari ous Indian nations operating and gov erning portions of territory subject to the sovereignty of the United States.” General Otis in transmitting the treaty, August 27, says: “The attitude of these people has been a subject of apprehension for sev eral months, and by this agreement, I believe, the apprehended pending dif ferences are happily adjusted.” Secretary Root, in a reply dated October 27, tells General Otis that “the agreemnet is confirmed an»i ap proved by the president, subject to the action of congress, and with the under standing and reservation, which should lie distinctly communicated to the sul tan of Sulu, that this agreement is not to be deemed in any way to authorize or give consent of the United States tc the existence of slavery in the Sulu archipelago. At the same time when you communicate to the sultan the above mentioned understanding, the president desires that you should make inquiry as to the number of persons held in slavery in the archipelago, and what arrangement it may be practicable for their emancipation. ” In his instructions to General Bates, under this direction, General Otis save: “It is believed that the market price of slaves in the archipelago is insigni ficant, ranging from $30 to $90, Mexi can, and that in some instances own ers will be pleased to grant freedom to their slaves if they can escape the burden of supporting them. General Otis continues to the effect that the character of the domestic slav ery existing in the archipelago differs greatly from the former slavery institu tion of the United States, the slaves becoming members of the owner’s family. General Bates, in his report, stated that when he first asked to see the sul tan, the latter sent his greetings, say ing he could not come to the general, be cause he had boils on his neck, ami could not put on his coat, but that he would recognize the protection of the United States, requesting as a favor that he might hoist his own flag alongside that of the United States. The sultan’a brother went to Jolo to meet General Bates, and the sultan afterwards joined him. General Bates states in this con nection that the Sulus are very jealous of their institution of slavery. In his original instructions to Gen eral Bates, General Otis instructed him to push to the trout the question of sov ereignty, and told him he could promise for the Unite» I States not to interfere with, but to protect, the Moros in the free exercise of their religion and cus toms, social anil domestic, and to re spect the rights and dignities of the sultan. In return they must acknow ledge the sovereignty of' the United States. He also instructed General Bates that it was important that the United States should occupy the prin cipal distribution centers of trade, and that Siassi, the capital, should be occu pied by our troops at no distant day. A Hair-Millian-Dollar Fire. Dayton, O., Feb. 5.—Early this morning a fire, the result of a boiler explosion, in the tobacco warehouse of .1. P.

City of Mexico, Feb. 5.—The press continues to denounce the growth of the liquor traffic in Mexico, and ascriltes to the increasing consumption of ardent spirits in various forms, the augmented mortality and crime. The Metho»lists here, headed by Bishop Mc Cabe and Rev. Dr. Butler, have begun a campaign aeainst intemperance and the local Catholic journals are exhort ing theii readers to arouse themselves to prevent the country from becoming a prey to alcholism.
