Filipinos Adopt the Policy Of Evading
Americans. h
4 MANILA, June l3.-The carefully ar
ranged movement by the brigades of
Generals Wheaton and Ovenshine, nn-
der the command of General Lawton,
for the purpose of rounding up the in-
surrent forces between Mrnila and
Las Pinas has been without important
results. No FilipinoS were captured.
Few were killed. They refused to
walk into the trap set for them by the
Americans. It is clear that the Fill
p,nos are aware That with the present
number Of American troops only few
towns can be garrisoned. So, instead
of resisting when the Americans enter
q village, they retire and wait unit!
the Americans evacuate. Their policy
is to retreat with the expectation of
regaining the lost ground when the
Americans leave.
MANILA, June 12-General Lawton
has occupied Paranaque and the vii.
lcge of Malibay, to the north, and Las
Pinas, to the south, preparatory to
moving upon Bacalor, whence the
rebels fed during the night. The
rebels deserted Paranaqne and the
trenches south of Manila at midnight,
finding the Americans behind them,
and escaped along the coast. Only
alleged amigos were found in
Paranaoue. \. 4

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Germany has
thrown off the mask and come out an
avowed opponent OF the principles of
arbitration. A cablcgram setting
forth this information has been re-
ceived ut the state department from
Mr.. HOLES, the secretary Of the Amer.
lean delegation at The Hague confer.
ence. According to the departments
information Germany is opposed to
any of the schemes of arbitration
which have been submitted, and it is
expected by the officials that she will
use her influence to oppose its adop-
ton. This attitude may have import
ant bearing on the result Of the con-
ference, and especially upon the arbi-
tration plan, which has been a matter
of especial solicitude to the admins
tratiyn. It's already apparent that
the plan approved by the president
proposing a permanent arbitration
tribune would be accepted, but it was
expected that some of its features at
least would be embodied in the plan
adopted. Germany's dec aration, how
ever, places different aspect upon
the matter.

Dss Moines dispatch: s. w. Boyer,

p, oduction of Iowa for the year 1898,
The report is exhaustive and is the
second Of it's kind to be issued from
the office OF the state geological sur
vey. The ggures it contains are inter-
csting and valuable. They show there
has been a decided falling of in the
coal output for 1898, due, it is said, to
the open winters OF 1878 which less
ened the demand for coal and thus
prevented the opening of new coal
fields. The clay output, however, en-
ceeds by nearly quarter of million
dollars that of the previous year. The
increased production OF lead, slim
ulated by the recent advance in price,
is most noticeable. Eighty.nine coun-
ties and nearly 7CO producers were en-
gagged in developing the mineral re-
sources of the state. The value of the
total mineral production in 1893 was
S7,4?6,722, distributed MS follows:

in reply to questions, that the gov

that the Trnnsvaal government was

conference, Mr.. Chamberlain said the
British high commissioner for South

ported. Sir Alfred Miner had dis
tinctly refused to arbitrate all ,gues-
tions, but had said there might be
some susceptible Of settlement in that
way, though not by q foreign power.
Mr.. Chamberlain then asserted that
since the Bloemfontein conference
Mr.. Kruger had submitted PROPOSE
