Captured by Boere After Severe
Philippine Situation.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 12—The an
nual report of Major-General Mac-
Arthur, dated July 4, 1901, the day he
relinquished command of the division
of the Philippines, has been received
at the War Department. The period
covered by the report is from Oc­
tober 1, 1900, when the last report
from General MacArthur was dated,
He reviews the policy of the Fili-
pinos that were hostile to the Ameri-

organized desperate resistance by
banding the peoDle together in sup­

tees, who collected contributions, in­

considerable opposition to the Ameri-
cans. General MacArthur reviews

consin at Panama.
Washington, Aug. 13.—The state
department was without additional
information today concerning the
Venezuela-Colombia situation, or of
the revolutionary outbreak on the
Isthmus. These two troubles are dis­
tinct, one being on the west and the
other on the east coast of Colombia.
The Ranger, which has been ordered
to get in readiness at San Diego, Cal.,
for a trip to Panama, is a small cruis­
er of 1,020 tons displacement, and has
been engaged for some time past in
survey work on the Pacific coast and
in Central American waters. It is
possible that her services at the seat
of trouble will suffice and that a bat­
tle ship will not be needed to make
the long trip from the north.
The
Ranger has a main battery of six four-
inch rapid-fire guns and a secondary
battery of four six-pounders and a
Colt gun. She has a complement of
21 officers and 127 men.
As the battleship Iowa has report­
ed her arrival at Bremerton, while
the Winconsin has not yet been heard
from, it is probable that the former
may be substituted frtr the prospect­
ive trip to the Pacific side of the Isth­
mus, if it is decided to send a battle
ship, although the formal announce­
ment of the change has not yet been
made.
A big natatorium has been finished
at Baker City, with two large tanks, TRAFFIC

Washington, Aug. 14.—The state
department has authorized Mr. Rus­
sell, the American charge d’affairs at
Caracas, Venezuela, to use his good
offices for Colombia in case the Co-
lombian minister at the Venezuelan
Mr.
capital leaves that country.
Russell telegraphed last week, seek-
ing information as to his epurse of
action in case of the withdrawal of
the Colombian minister, which ap­
parently was in contemplation at
that time.
The state department
has no infornfation as to whether Mr.
Russell is fulfilling this temporary
duty.
There have been no additional
developments as to the situation on
the Isthmus of Panama, where the
trouble is far removed from that
along the Venezuelan border. Consul
General Gudger’s course in looking
after the interests of Chinese along
the Isthmus is not in pursuance of
any specfic instructions from Wash­
ington, but follows a procedure estab­
lished 12 years ago in connection
with points at which the Chinese
were entirely without official repre­
sentation.
The navy department has now de­
finitely determined to make use of the
battleship Iowa instead of the Wis­
consin on the Pacific side of the
Isthmus in case affairs become ser­
ious there. The Iowa is the flagship
of the Pacific station, and as such
flies the flag of Rear Admiral Silas
Casey. At last reports received here
the admiral was on board the Iowa,
but it is hardly probable that he will
proceed further south than San
Francisco.
The gunboat Machias has reached
Norfolk, and wiil probably sail for
Colon tomorrow morning.
fairly launched, and on the first
show of strength advantage is with
the former. The general strike order
issued by President Shaffer, of the
Amalgamated Association, has so far
j been obeyed by only about 14,000
men, according to the best figures ob-
j tainable here.
The first two calls
' were answered by about 45,000 men,
! so that the total number now out is
in the neighborhood of 60,000.
The
strikers made gain: here today over
the showing of last night, and their
prospects for further accessions at
both McKeesport and Wheeling dur­
ing the week are very favorable.
The action of the Amalgamated men
at Chicago, Joilet and Bayview in re­
fusing to come out, and their failure
to secure any recruits in the Carnegie
group throughout the Kiskiminetas
valley, and in the big plants at
Youngstown and Columbus, O., have
been marked by disappoitment to
them.
They are keeping up the
fight, however in a spirited manner,
and claim that they have strength in
reserve which will surprise their op­
ponents. They assert that they have
gained a foothold in the Carnegie
mills in this city, and at the time de
sired the men will come out. They
are pressing their advantage at Mc­
Keesport and Wheeling and their or­
ganizers are still at work in those
towns. President Shaffer has decided
to visit Wheeling, and will address a
mass meeting of his followers. He
plans to spend tomorrow here direct­
ing the fight and conferring with his
associates as to plans for the future.
An appeal for financial aid has been
made to organized labor and to the
general public, and it is expected the
responses to it will be liberal.

raid along the railroad line, and ex­
