ADMINISTRATION PLEASED.
Confident MaIolOs VIII Soon BE Cap
tured by General Otis.

WASHINGTON, March 29-The Presi-
dent to-day discussed with his advisers and
callers the situation in the Philippines. AS
sistant Secretary of War Meikeljohn and
Adjutant General Corbin, who have kept
close track of the progress OF the American
army and the condition of the troops, were
with him for some time. With them he went
over the situation and expressed his pleas
ure at the good progress General Otis and
his generals had made, though he regretted
the loss of life. The administration is con-
fident Malolos will soon be captured. The
dispatch from General Otis received early
this morning not supplemented by any
later news. The opinion was given at the
War Department that General Otis had
ample force under his command, and that
when the regulars now on their way TO
Manila reached their destination there
would be little need of retaining the volun-
ter out Will hold good until the formal rati-
fication of the peace treaty, and when this
will be done is not known. The French am
bassador, who is acting for Spain, has no
information on the subject and does not
know when the treaty will be received here
Secretary AlGer has reported u favorable
condition of affairs i'm Cuba and has ex-
pressed the opinion that more troops than
now in the island will not be needed
After the volunteers are sent home there
will be fourteen regiments, with a total of
1seO0 men, in Cuba. making two regiments
of regulars in each province.
There was some discussion in official cir
cles regarding The proclamation which the
Philippine commission may issue. This ac-
ton, it is said, is entirely discretionary with
the commission IL may issue its proclama-
ton after General Otis reaches Maloos or il
may delay IL until the time seems more op-
perfume. If. reported i'm some quarters
the Filipinos abandon Malolos as a capital
and go farther north it is possible the proc
lamation may be withheld. IL is intended
that the proclamation shall declare the pur-
pose of the government of the United States
in the Island of Luzon, and it may seem de-
sirable 10 establish fully the authority of
the United States over the island before any
such step is taken.

Inc country between Marilao and Manila
presents a picture of desolation. Smoke is
curling from hundreds of ash heaps and the
remains of trees and fences torn by shrap-

strewn with furniture and clothing dropped
IN flight by the Fflipinos. The only persons
remaining behind are few aged persons.
too infirm to escape. They camp beside the
ruins of the former homes and beg passers-
by for any kind Of assistance. The majority
of them are living on the generosity of our
soldiers, who give them portions of their
rations. The dogs of the Fflipinos cover in
the bushes still terrified and barking. while
hundreds of pigs are to be seen busily
searching for food.
Bodies of dead Fflipinos are stranded in
the shadows of the river or lying in the
jungle, where they crswled to die or were
left in the wake Of the hurriedly retreat
ing army. These bodies give forth a hor-
rible odor, but there is no time at present
to bury them.
The inhabitants who fed from Marilao
and Meycauayan left in such a panic that
on tables our soldiers found spread money
and valuables and in the rooms were
trunks containing other property of value.
This was the case in most of the houses
deserted. They were not molested by our
soldiers, but the Chinese who slip in be-
tween the armies are looting when they can
and have taken possession of several houses
over which they raised Chinese flags, some
Of which were torn down. An old woman
was found hidden in house at Meycauayan
yesterday, just dead, apparently from fright
and hunger.

ADVICE TO CANADIANS.
An VI. II. Says Legislators should Not
Give Offense to the United states.

OTTAWA, Ont, March 29.-In the House
of Commons to-day Henri Bourassa, NJ. p,
who acted as secretary TO the joint high
commission at Washington. in the course OF
a speech referred to the meetings at Wash
ington. He said that no member of the
House ought 10 set up difficulties in the way
Of freer trade between Canada and the
United States. The natural and existing
troubles were great enough without build
ing up artificial ones. He was a great ad-
mirer, he said, of the American people. They
were sincere, practical and progressive in
mind and action, and the Anglo-Saxon feel
ing was not dead. 1t might go to sleep for
while, but it would awaken again. When
the time came that the United States and
Great Britain saw that 1t was to their in
terest to do so, the Canadian matters in
dispute would be speedily disposed of.

MANY PEOPLE DROWNED
STEAMER ROwENA LEE SUNK IN THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
Crew and Passengers Said to Number
About sixty, and All Pcrished Ex-
ccpt TwO-An Explosion.

ST. LOUIS, March pa dispatch from
New Madrid, Mo-. says: 1.-THE steamer
Rowena Lee, with about thirty-one passen-
gers aboard besides her crew. exploded op-
noon and Immediately sank with all on
board except Capt. George Carvell and one
OF the crew. The steamer left Cairo with
sixteen passengers bound for Memphis. At
Caruthersville, Mo. she landed and took
aboard fifteen more passengers. 1t is esti-
mated that with passengers and crew she
then had aboard about fifty people. She
made the next landing at Tyler. Mo-. and
at o'clock this afternoon backed into mid
stream from Tyler to proceed on her jour
ney. The steamer had just reached the mid
die of the river when she suddenly stopped
and lurched as If a snag had been struck.
The next moment the boat parted in the
middle, volume of steam and debris arose
and the detonation of an explosion thun-
dered over the water. The river Is running
very high and the steamer Immediately
sank with all on board but the captain and
and were saved by boats
The Lee left Cairo at $50 o'clock last
night for Memphis. She had light freight
and passenger trip, as there has been little
business since the high water. She was
manned by the following crew: Captain,
George Caryell: first clerk, l.. X Booker;
second clerk, Gus Mitchell; third clerk. Sam
Lewis; pilots, Sid Smith and f. Banks;
mates, John Crasty and Patrick Flanagan;

The names of her passengers cannot be
learned. The boat was the property of the
Lees. at Memphis. 1t is stated here that
she had sixty people on board. including her
deck hands. Tyler is 125 miles below ST.
Louis. A dispatch from Cairo says the
Rowena Lee sank in seventy feet of water.
She had just backed out from the landing
and headed down stream when, as If by an
explosion from underneath, she seemed to
raise slightly in the middle and broke in
two, both ends plunging downward and
sinking from view instantly. Among the
passengers were NJ. c. Lewis, travelling
freight agent of the Lee line, and s. c.
Humphrey. general agent for the Chicago
Mill and Lumber Company. of Cairo. The
cause of the disaster cannot be obtained.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. March 29.-The steam
er Rowena Lee was owned by the Lee line
of Memphis and was cne of the finest pas
senger steamers in The Mississippi river
trade. She piled between Memphis and
Cairo. News of the sinking of the Rowena
Lee spread like wildfre in Memphis. Most
of the crew lived here. AS to the passenger
list of the ill-fated vessel nothing can be
obtained at the Memphis Office of the COM
pany tonight. An effort has been made to
get the names of those passengers who en-
barked at Cairo, but this list had not been
received at a late hour tonight. From local
river men il ascertained that the
Rowena Lee carried a cabin crew of about
fifteen officers and a deck crew numbering
about thirty. Taking these figures and a
fair number of passengers taken on at
Cairo and other points it can easily be rea-
soned that at least sixty people were on
board the boat when the disaster occurred
The officers of the line were interviewed
tonight General Manager Robert z. Lee
stated that he had received telegraphic ad-
vices of the loss Of the vessel, but no de-
tails were at hand. He had no list of the
passengers. The Rowena Lee was built at
JeffersonviIle. Ind, ive years ago and was
valued at $4,000.
