WANTED TO TALK IT OVER.
Insurgents Pay Visit to Commander
Very On Board the Castine.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The navy de-
partment has made public report
from Commander S. w. Very of the
Castine, containing some reference to
the evacuation of Zamboanga on the
island of Mindanao, and certain inter
changes he had with the natives. The
report reads under date of Zamboanga,
May 80, and is as follows:
ION the oath the Spanish fleet left. I
fired twenty-one guns, Spanish ensign
at main. Considerable enthusiasm on
women applauding and the soldiers
shouting "Vfvai" Same day 1 heard
from a steamer arrived from Sulu that
our troops are coming, so, although l
had no orders to do so, I decided to re-
main to support their landing. The in
surgents moved in Immediately after
the Spanish moved out. They have not
yet shown the insurgent flag.
Sunday, the 2Sth, the Princeton ar
rived. l boarded her and gave all the
information 1 had to the United States
senator on board. She left at 8 a. m.
for Sulu.
Il received a communication asking
If L would receive a committee of dis
tinguished individuals to discuss ques-
tons of interest to both parties. I re-
piled at once:
" I have your letter of this date ask
ing that I receive commission of per-
sons of distinction of this province to
treat of various questions of common
interest TO both parties In reply, I
take pleasure to invite one and all of
the persons of distinction of this prov
ince TO call on board the Castine. where
they will be well received. But have
no authority TO make treaties. l have
no right to discuss any questions which
in your opinion may have arisen be-
tween the two alleged parties. 1 am
here to obey orders. which are impera-
tive. and these include prohibition of
all traffic where the authority of the
United States is not recognized and
sustained.
Until see the flag of the United
States flying in Zamboanga, and until
I know that the display carries with it
a recognition of the authority of my
government, l shall continue to use the
power which is confided to me to en-
force the Instructions received from
higher authority
The commission, presume it is. ar
rived just as I was getting under way
to board this steamer, and they are

eight hours. The coal miners work by
contract, that is, their earnings are
regulated by the amount of coal, in
tons. that they extract in a day shift
of eight hours. Some men earn as much
as 81 per day and others vary from
that down to $3.50 per day.
Mr.. Sharp was a bit dubious concern
ing any social, intellectual or moral
improvement in the condition of miners
in the past ten years. but he nodded
affirmatively when asked if marriage
and having children had a beneficial,
steadying effect on operatives.
No Labor Unions.
There are no labor organizations
among the coal miners. and TO this TACT
Mr.. Sharp attributed the amicable re-
lations existing between employers and
employees. The coal company is al
ways ready to confer with the men and
use conciliatory means to reach an
agreement: they are willing to pay men
the prevailing rate of wages, and such
wages are regulated by the amount of
work actually done in a working day
of eight hours, but will brook no inter-
ference or bulldozing.
The average miner works twenty
five days per month for nine months in
the year and devotes the other three
months to his farm, the latter being in
Tic ScdSOil, WITCH liiC wal SCh-
sumption is comparatively limited. The
enforcement of the eight-hour law dis
eliminates in favor of the men and
initiates against the operators.
An Unjust Tax.
Mr.. Sharp thought the act of taxing
the output of the mine an injustice TO
the company, but as no set value could
be applied to the land itself, it was
probably the best method; he could
suggest no other method of taxation
The mine inspection law gave entire
satisfaction to both yides, and there
were no complaints. The mines were
well ventilated, as it was to the inter
ests of both sides to have it so.
When questioned as to the reason
why coal miners in Utah were not
organized into unions, Mr.. Sharp in
timated that they had no ground on
which to stand in this state; the coal
company treated the men with justice
and liberality but they did not dis
criminate against unions. Never had
much to do with thenl-they don't ex-
ist." said Mr.. Sharp.
Some of the railroad companies own
stock in the coal mines, but do not re-
duce their tariff on that account; the
same rates are open to all.
DO you believe that organization Is
a bad thing for men generality?
II do; it leads to strikes.
Are the men free to express opin-
ions as they would be if they were
''They are" announced Mr.. Sharp.

BACK FROM MANILA
Captain Frank Jennings Had a
Quiet Summer Outing.

Captain Frank w. Jennings of bat
terry C, Utah L. S. ", who has been
for some time past in Manila on a
sightseeing and business trip, arrived
home yesterday morning. He came
over from the Philippines on the trans
port Senator, reaching San Francisco
only a few days later than the Utah
battery boys. The captain is somewhat
stouter than when he left, and his face
is Drowned by the tropic sum- He Is
very reticent and modest concerning
adventures he may have had in the
land of the Filipino.

said yesterday. II played the part of
a mere citizen of the city of Manila
No hairbreadth escapes or thrilling ad-
ventures fell to my lot. l have just
had quiet summer outing; that's all.
He was reminded that there was a
story extant that he had been on the
firing line almost all the time; ana nao
been ordered away because his white
suit made him a conspicuous target for
Aguinaldo's rifles.

replied. Il have nothing TO say about

YOU don't already know. Your CORE

awake man, and knows more about
them than do. But l will tell you
one thing. The Utah volunteers have
done themselves proud. They are he

proud of the record they have made.

Life is too short" said the captain,
for continual faultfinding. l have no
criticisms to make. The war depart
ment ought to know what it is doing.
I'm sure I'm not the one who should
tell them"
Good Business Chances.
What are the business prospects in
Manila"
THE Philippines will offer great
chances to a wide awake business man
ditions become settled. Money may be
safely invested there, and will bring
rich returns. The Philippines abound
in wealth. It's a great country, and
we can do no better than keep it after
the advances we have made"
Then you are in favor of an expan-
sion policy. as far as the Philippines
are concerned?"
Decidedly, yes. From a commercial
standpoint. they will be an invaluable
acquisition to the territory of the Unit
ed States Residence there. however. is
not a perpetual delight. The hot sun
and the climatic conditions make life
a misery. But the business prospects
offset the undesirability of residence.
Il didn't stay in San Francisco an
