TACOMA Wash, June 26.-Advices re-
ceived by steamer Victoria, which arrived
yesterday brings the following news OF
the Philippine rebellion:
A large band of insurgents, who left Cav
ite, have reached the neighborhood OF
Manila, and on May IS were within an
hours drive of the capital. This was after
Commander-in-Chief Rivers had published
his latest proclamation, declaring the re-
bellion ended and offering a pardon to the
insurgents.
Late Yokohama papers print a letter
written from the rebel camp at Balinkup-
sang, near Manila, on May Is. The writer
asserts that during the campaign just end
ed the Spanish have lost no less than 400
men killed and mortally wounded.
The rebels started with but nine efficient
guns, while now they have nearly 1o,oOo
captured Mauser and Remington rlhes.
Three important towns have Just risen
in rebellion, one In Tambales, another In
Tayabas and one in the Isle de Negros.
The Victoria also brings news OF fresh
trouble at Seoul, Corea. June IL an intrigue
was discovered having for it's object the
return of the king to one of the foreign
legations. the ousting of the pro-Chinese
and pro-Japanese factions and the ap-
pointment of a regent. On the date named
The imperial tutor, Kogen Tetsu, and thirty

Many cases of gross malversation have

No Differences Existing There in the
Republican Party.
4 TALK WITH SIDNEY 4. PERKINS
Senator Hanna and Gov. Bushnell
Workers for the Same End.
AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW

Tell me the exact political conditions In
Ohio" said a Star reporter to Mr.. Sidney
A. Perkins. the Washington director of the
destinies of the national republican COM
mittee and the confidential secretary of
Senator Mark A. Hanna.
The republican party in Ohio is abso-
lutely harmonious replied Mr. Perkins.
"Al the factions have united and will pre-
sent now and henceforth a solid front to
the demo-populistic enemy. Ohio will be
found in line in the fall. Governor Bushnell
will be reelected, and Senator Hanna will
be chosen to succeed himself. The free sill
YER fallacy upon which the Ohio democracy
has determined to base its campaign will
be overwhelmed, as it has been in the past,
by the sensible voters, who prefer stability
of institutions and of property values to the
pursuit of disembodied theories
Tell me something about the fight for
the craftsmanship between Dick and
KurtZ, asked the reporter.
There has been great deal of sensa-
tional exaggeration about this replied Mr.
Perkins 1T is true that Senator Hanna
did not think that Mr.. KurtZ was the most
satisfactory man for the place, and he
objected to his selection on that ground
Major Dick had no idea of being chair
man, and it was not Senator Hanna's in
tention that he should be. Major Dicks
mittee would not, it was thought, permit
him to accept the craftsmanship of the Ohio
committee at time when his national
duties would keep him busily engaged look
ing after the interests of the congressional
fights throughout the country.
There Is no question, however" con-
tinued Mr.. Perkins, but what Major Dick
is one of the best-equipped men in the
state to handle the coming fight, and the
work which he did in the interest of Sem
ator Hanna previous to and at the conven-
tion in Toledo demonstrated the fact that
he is an admirable general and a great
organizer
lis there any truth in the alleged differ
ences between Senator Hanna and Gov
BuShnell?''
None in the world" returned Mr.. Per-
kiEs. with emphasis. Everything Of that
character between them that might have
existed iE the past has been harmoniously
adjusted They are both working for one
end, which is the success of the republican
ticket in Ohio and the upholding of Pres
fdpnt Mckinley and his administration.
These statements do not appear to agree
with recent alleged interviews with you
which have appeared in Washington and
.'Well,'' said Mr.. Perkins. smilingly, this
interview with you is the first have ever
submitted to in relation to Ohio affairs.
and therefore you can easily determine
how much truth there was in the publica-
tions purporting to be recitals of my views
and opinions on the conditions in that
state And any one who knows me took no
stock. / am sure, in those alleged inter-
views. This one is authentic, and I'll stick
to it, but the others were imaginary, and
! do not hesitate to repudiate them"

CHICAGO, June 26.-Two men killed
themselves yesterday in Chicago ana tnree
women made unsuccessful attempts at sui
eide. The bodies of two other men were
found dead, and the day was rounded out
with the death of still another, who shot
himself week ago.

there have been nearly forty cases of sui

in which the elements Of doubt remains.
To double the horror of this record there

Special Dispatch to Tie Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 26.-There Is
every indie, ton that the democratic state
convention next week will indorse every
plank of the Chicago platform. Nearly all
of the score or more of gubernatorial can
didates are standing on that platform. ana
some, like Allen w. Thurman. for instance
declare that that is the only platform which
will lead to success.
There are others who want to make the
issue q clean cut one by indorsing the
silver plank alone. and the fact that the
populists are already growing restive and
have called a convention for August IA
makes them the more willing to cut out
all the other planks.
OF the 600 delegates chosen up to last
night, 400 of them, SO the reports show,
stand on the Chicago platform. They are
pledged to vote for no candidate who does
not promise to support the platform in all
its planks. There should be total OF 100
delegates who are pledged to the silver
plank alone. There are about fifty other
candidates who are instructed for other
planks Of the Chicago platform.

Courtney Guarding Against Defeat by
Penn. or Columbia.
POUGHKEEPSIE, NY, June 26-The
college boat races of the coming week have
taken on a new interest because of the
victory of Cornell yesterday. The defeat
of Cornell's varsity crew by either Penn
sylvania OF Columbia will make a very In
teresting complication, and the winner
could justly demand recognition by Yale
and Harvard.
1t Is believed that Mr.. Courtney has an-
ticipated such a thing. He has a second
varsity crew, not as finely trained as the
one that rowed yesterday, but If any Of
the men of the regular crew show any
signs of staleness they will be Immediately
supplanted by substitutes from the short
cake crew, and it would not be surprising
to see an almost entirely new crew start.
In other words, the shrewd Mr.. Courtney
will not take any chances, for he appre-
ciates that both Pennsylvania and Column
bia are doing splendid work
