Washington, June 1.-The officials here
are unwilling to be drawn publicly into a
controversy over the Canadian boundary

been made the subject OF a statement in
the house at Ottawa by Sir Wilfrid
Laurler which in the ordinary course
would relieve them from the obligation

that the statement referred 10 a state of

negotiations directly between the British

United States conducted OF late through
Mr.. Choate and Lord Salisbury in Lon

Sir Wilfrid Laurier's statement takes no

LAWYER MOSS MAKES
A BITING SPEECH.
Demanded That Action Be Taken
Against Recalcitrant Witnesses.
Lawyer O'SuIlivan Threatened.

New York, June 1.-There was an
other sitting Of the Mazet hearing to,
day.
Before proceedings commenced Mr.
Mazet was asked regarding the con-
duct Of Capt. Price and Mr.. Kraus. who
yesterday identified Mr.. Moss, counsel
of the committee.
I'VE cannot punish recalcitrant inn
pertinent witnesses" said Mr. Mazet
All we we can do is TO report them"
When the chairman raped for order
Mr.. Moss arose and made a long and
denunciatory speech. He said no in
vestigating committee had ever been
treated as this one was yesterday. He
pointed to the alleged contumacity and
impertinece of the witnesses and de-
manded that some action should be
taken by the committee.
DR.. OSullivan, who appears for the
city departments. frequently inter-
rupted Mr.. Moss while he was speak
ing. Finally Chairman Mazet told DR..
O'Sullivan that IL he Interrupted Mr..
Moss again he would have him elected
from the room. DR.. O'Sullivan then
sat down.
Inc remark tnat Mr.. MOSS look most
offense at was when DR.. O'Sullivan
said: Are we here TO receive testi-
mony. or are we here to receive the
bold and unqualified statements OF the
counsel who yesterday was accused by
a witness on the stand with having
committed a crime. and who has not
yet answered that accusation"
After this Mr.. Moss asked for exclu-
sion Of DIR. O'Sullivan.
Mr.. Hoffman. one OF the Democratic
members said he thought II was un-
necessary at this time for Mr.. Moss 10
sum up. Mr.. Mazet told Mr. Moss to
make IL as brief as possible and Mr..
Moss said: mo, sir. / will make il as
long as ] think Ii IL necessary"
Mr. Moss then went on to say that
he had caused another subpoena to be
served upon Captain Price to require
him tomorrow TO substantiate the ac-
cusatons made against him.
Mr.. Mazet assured Mr. Moss that the
reflections made by witness had no
weight whatever with members OF the !

John X. Wood, employed by Mr.. Ross,

testified, whispered to the proprietor OF

Mr. Sheehy was subjected to

Describing briefly the tension that ex-
listed at the time. General Otis includes
important correspondence in explanation
OF his course between himself and Aguin-
aldo. Early in January. when General
| Otis was asked by conservative Fill
pinos TO appoint a committee of army
1 officers TO meet an insurgent committee
and effect a compromise by which peac ce
might be maintained. General - re-
fused to recognize andnsurgeni yern-
ment. but was willing to negotiate with
Aguinaldo or a commission appointed by
him.
Aguinaldo's response and General Otis
reply are set out in extracts from the re-
port. Aguinaldo wrote:
Il have been Informed after the inter-
view between the commissioners Of my
government and Mr.. Carman that there
will be no Inconvenience on your part in

sentatives that will confer with those

To this letter General Otis replied as |
follows:

GENERAL OTIS ON
PHILIPPINE WAR.
Americans Not Responsible for the
Outbreak of the RebelIion--Aguin-
aldo's Plans Carefully Prepared.

washington, June 1.-The secretary of
war has made public the report OF Cen
eral Otis. mailed from Manila. transmit
ting the reports OF his subordinate off,
GERS on the operations around Manila nm
10 April s. The general gives a short
summary Of the Philippine insurrection
against Spain. laying stress on the fact
that a small band OF the natives of
Luzon, leaders OF the rebellion OF 'ss
against Spain. were induced for a none
tary consideration 10 leave the island.
These men returned TO the vicinity NJ
Manila after the destruction OF the
Spanish fleet there. being. as General
Otis says, encouraged without author
ity to attempt the organization of what
they were pleased TO denominate an in
dependent government for the Filipino
people"
General Otis tells OF the landing NJ
Aguinaldo from an American vessel and
OF the insurgents taking advantage of
the active hostilities between the United
States and Spain TO capture southern
points and increase their strength. In
dependence. General Otis says, was pro-
claimed by Aguinsldo in August. and as
early as June he had warned the United
states authorities against the landing
OF It's military forces on Philippine soil
without first obtaining his consent. be-
cause. as he expressed It. "the suipino
people might consider the occupation of
Philippine territory by North American
troops violation OF their rights"
General'Otis adds: When the United
States forces landed from their trans
ports near and TO the south OF Manila for
the purpose OF attacking the city. the
fiction that they were acting as allies of
the insurgents aDd in furtherance of
Philippine independence appears TO have
been conveyed by insurgent lea aders."
General Otis describes Aguinaldo's ef-
forts TO strengthen his lines In prepara-
ton for hostilities with the United States
during this time and explains the growth
of the insurgent independent movement
by stating that. In the absence of Spanish
authority, many able and conservative
gave adherence TO this seem |
ngly de facto gRernment. Many of |
these withdrew their adherence when the |
radical element declared it's hostility to |
he United States.
