SETTLEMENT TO BE AMICABLE.
No Trouble Expected to Arise From
the Samoan situation.


the Samoan situation.
Washington, April 2.--The opinion is ex-
pressed in official circles here that the out
look for satisfactory and peaceful hnal
adjustment of Samoan affairs is decided
ly hopeful.
The statement was made to-day in
well-informed quarter that it is altogethes
likely that the joint high commission, by
virtue of the plenary powers vested in Its
individual members. will be able to con-
clude a settlement of the Samoan question
satisfactory to all the Powers concerned,
and that there is such an understanding
between the three Powers as almost will
certainly prevent any disagreement such
as would make it necessary to ask King
Oscar Of Sweden and Norway to act as
umpire.
The peaceful solution of this delicate
question, full of possibilities OF serious
trouble, is regarded as triumph of diplo-
macy, and as furnishing the strongest
kind of evidence of a desire on the part
of Germany, as well as Of the other two
Powers, to maintain the most amlcable re-
lations one with the other.

TOWN OF LoILo IN RUINS.
Shocking Act of Insurgents on Leav-

ing the Place.
San Francisco, April "A staff CORE
spondent of the Associated Press with the
American troops in the Philippine Islands
sends by the steamer Nippon Maru the fol-
lowing notes from the field:
Tie engagement which resulted in the
capture of Iloilo was begun by the in
surgents firing on the Petral. The Boston
and Petral replied with shells, which soon
laid the place in ruins. The insurgents
then retired after burning the town.
Most OF the white people were out on the
transports when the confagration started.
One instance is known where this was not
the case, and it was one calculated to
steady the aim of every soldier in 1lolo
The insurgents captured an English girl
and locking her up in a house, burned il
down over her head She managed 10 es-
cape but died shortly afterward of her
injuries.
Ilolo now presents a sad spectacle Of
desolation. All that is left of the once
beautiful city are a few buildings along
the water front. Already, however mat
ters are becoming settled. A postoftice
has been established, also court house
and all the necessary offices for trans
acting the business of state.
The Americans have captured battery
of seven guns from the insurgents and
brought their prizes into the city. The
losses of the insurgents on this island
are not known, as they removed their dead
and wounded from the field.
1t is learned thar Maj. Gen. Otis thinks
the insurgents can be subdued in about
three months, Admiral Dewey says the
only. way to pacify the insurgents is to
notify them to lay down their arms as soon
as possible.
