Is DEMANDED
If Assured of Securing Either the Phil

MANILA, Aug. 24.-At a conference to-
day between the insurgents and Ameri-
cans, the former declared emphatically
they were willing to cooperate with the
Americans and to surrender their arms
promptly if assured the islands would
remain either an American or a British
colony, under the protectorate of the
United States or Great Britain. Other
wise the insurgent leaders asserted they
would not dare to disarm, and must
positively refuse to do go. They threaten
fresh rebellion within month if the
Americans withdraw.
The natives assert religious orders are
instigating opposition to American
supremacy. Newspapers published in
both English and Spanish have already
appeared.
The United States transports Rio
Janeiro and Pennsylvania arrived today,
the former bearing two battalions of
South Dakota volunteers, recruits for
the Utah light artillery and a detach-
ment for the signal corps, and latter the

1T THE SULTAN DEAD?
Trouble of Large Dimensions Brewing
In the Orient.

New YORK, Aug. PA dispatch to
the Herald, dated at Tangier today,
says:
In order effectually to check the ru-
NOR of the sultan's death and divert the
public attention, it is assiduously re-
ported that he has left Marrakesn for
Fez, there to receive the embassies Of
fetal visits, returning after the uprising
has been queIled.
Meanwhile, the grand vizier is alarmed
at the increasing influence of Germany,
and at the italian demands, and is pre-
parlng to dispatch the Moorish en- bassy
to Europe, probably to London and
Rome, to settle outstanding claims.
The Spanish gunboat General Valdez
arrived this morning with government
orders for the Spanish minister. There
is great excitement at the Italian con-
sulate. Mohammed Torres is becoming
threatening and the Italians are defiant.
If there is no answer to the ultimatum,
a warship will start at once for Spez-
zia.
There is absolutely no definite news
concerning the sultan, and the public
mind is undecided whether he is dead
or alive.

THEY WERE
GOOD FIGHTERS
Japanese Admiral Thinks America Has
Mastered the Art of Building
Ships and Fighting Them.

CHICAGO, Aug. "a Admiral Ok Mat
sonnaga, of the Japanese imperial navy,
is registered at the Grand Pacific hotel.
He Is accompanied by j. Takenochi,
paymaster to the imperial navy, and is
en- route to England, where he will sup
erintend the construction of the two
Japanese battle-ships building there.
Discussing the recent naval victory and
the causes, he said:
''You Americans certainly seem 10
have mastered the art of constructing
most effective battie-ships. The mag
nifcent record of the Oregon is an ex-
ample.
''You seem to be able to fight your
ships pretty well. There are many val
liable lessons to be learned from the
war, not the least of which is that per-
sonal courage, when misdirected and
when opposed by a cool and skillful foe,
is OF no moment whatever.
''From a technical point of view, the
most impressive lesion is that expert
gunnery is above all things the most i'm.
portant factor in naval conflicts. Your
country undoubtedly possessed ships
which were greatly superior to those of
Spain, and they were manned better in
every respect, but. it was your greatly
superior gunnery which, for the greater
part, gave you such crushing victories"

The military judge at Barcelona has

were trying to recruit among the gar
rison for the Carlists. Carlist disturb
ance are reported in several small towns

VANCOUVER
MAY LOSE THE
BARRACKS
Why Soldiers Should Be Taken From
This Point and Stationed at SpO-

ever be Removed to Portland.

PORTLAND, Aug. PA statement ap-
pearing in a Washington dispatch says
that the government officials are think
ing seriously of abandoning Vancouver
barracks.
1t is claimed that when the Washing
ton volunteers are mustered out of SER
vice, "then the regulars formerly sta
toned at those headquarters will be
scattered through the Pacific Northwest,
the greater number going to the near
posts at Spokane and Magnolia bluff,
Seattle"
The dispatch goes on further to say
that the gcxernment is planning to plat
and sell the same as town lots. Another
view is that the government would do
better by effecting an exchange with the
state of Washington, for state lands fac
ing upon the tidewater, where they will
be needed hereafter in the development
of coast defense Notifications for that
section.
The author of the dispatch argues that
if the plan he outlines is carried out,
Spokane will gain what Portland and its
suburb, Vancouver, may lose.

New York, Aug. PA dispatch t
Herald from Madrid says:

New York, Aug. PA dispatch to
Herald from Madrid says:
There is a growing feeling of irritation
which has been discussed fully in min
isterial circles, at the failure of the in
surgents to respect the protocol and or
der for cessation of hostilities. An i'm
portant political parsonage said:
eff matters continue thus, Spain will
find herself compelled to stop the rep
atriations of the Cuban troops unless
the United States can give a guarantee
that Spanish interests will be safeguard
ed from the p:ratical inclinations of the
insurgents
The matter is at such a point that if
the insurgents continue hostilities, the
government, according to the most i'm
portant ministerialists, will give orders
to the Spanish troops to take the offens-
i've against those insurgents who do not
respect the protocol.
H. S. Rubens, consul for the Cuban
delegation, said it was possible small
bands of Cubans were still fighting in
the interior.
There are no telephone or telegraph
wires over the island, and it is thought
that some of the bands are possibly not
yet aware of the cessation of hostilities.
