The Situation at Manlla.

Perfect order has thus far been main
tanned in Manila under American con-
troll. The city is quiet and seems al
most TO have resumed its normal bust
ness and social activity. The rumors
of troubles between the natives and
the Americans are for the most part
unfounded. The fact is that the in
surgents have been unwilling to dis
arm until assured of the permanence
of American protection. From the first
they have had the greatest confidence
in Admiral Dewey, whom they regard
as a sort of father and the most impor-
tant American at Manila. The iunta
is satisfied that all friction will soon
disappear and that there will be no
trouble from the insurgents if the
Americans decide to retain the Philip
pines.
Gen. Merritt and Aguinaldo have
agreed that the latter shall govern out
side of Manila for the present. No in
surgents will be allowed inside of the
city with arms. Business is now boom
ing. The distractions in the river
Pasig, which flows through the town,
have been removed and the water
works have resumed operations.

Lana commI..loner.. Report.


The report of State Land Commits
sioner French refers at length To tax
titles and homestead laws He says
that the legislature should, and un-
doubtedly will, protect homesteaders
whose homes were endangered by the
supreme courts decision in the case of
the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
Co. VS.. Eugene b. Wood, which mate
rally affected the states title To some
of tae tax homestead lands and caused
widespread uneasiness among those
who had in good faith entered upon
the lands and were faithfully carrying
out their part of the contract with the
state. Legislation should promptly
be enacted making it possible for the
state to guarantee every homestcader
upon these lands that at the end of five
years residence deed will be given
and the home secured to those who SO
richly deserve it. There is no other
honorable course for the state to pur-
sue" During the past year there has
been licensed to settlers 81, l07 acres of
tax homestead lands. Last year there
these tax homestead lands.
In reference to the sugar beet indus
try in Michigan, which originated
when the legislature enacted bounty
law, which operates through the land
office, the report saws that for the first
time beet sugar will be manufact -red
in Michigan this year. A factory cost
inn ,,o,yo,.J ,f G2no na0 bas haan cop-
structed near Bay City and will take
care of this years crop of $500 acres of
beets. Michigan has sufficient beet
sugar land to accommodate a dozen
factories and they will be built if
needed. The Bay City factory will
this year manufacture more than
5000. 900 pounds of sugar and will pay
to the growers. the farmers, about
S150,0o0. The Michigan beets are far
ahead of those of other states and every
indication is that the beet sugar indus
try will soon be big factor in Mich
igan.
In reference to forestry the commits
sioner says that Michigan should be
foremost of all states in the union in
encouraging forestry. yet we find that
little, il any, attention is being given
to the preservation or restoration of
our forests, which have been a leading
factor in producing the wealth of the
state. There are many parcels of state
lands not suitable for agriculture that
could be converted into forests.
During the past year there was sold
by the land department earlier acres;
1854 acres of swamp land licensed;
81, 107 acres of tax homestead land Ii
censed, and there is still held for sale
and homestead entry 600, l47 acres.
The land sold will bring into the state
S115,310; S27.513.75 of which remains
unpaid. The total receipts of the Office
were Sal, 1858.
