SAMOAN AFFAIRS.
A Peaceful and Satisfactory Settle
ment Of the Incident is Looked
Upon in Washington as Certain.

Washington, April 1.-THE opinion is
expressed in official circles here that
the outlook for a satisfactory and peace
full final adjustment OF Samoan affairs is
decidedly hopeful. The statement was
made to-day in a well informed quar-
ter that it is altogether likely that the
joint high commission. by virtue of
the plenary powers vested in its indl-
vidual members, will be able to con-
clude a settlement Of the Samoan ques-
ton satisfactory to all the powers con-
cerned, and that there is such an I'M
derstanding between the three powers
as almost certainly will 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 ques-
ton, full of possibilities of serious
trouble, is regarded as a triumph of
diplomacy, and as furnishing the
strongest kind of evidence of desire
on the part of Germany, as well as of
the other two powers, to maintain the
most amicable relations one with the
other.

SCHEME is DEAD.
The Projected American Potteries
Company Has Passed Out of Ex

Special to the Register
East Liverpool, O., April Saturday
night at midnight the options held by
John r. Dospassos, the head of the New
York syndicate which attempted to or
ganize the pottery trust, expired, and
to-day the American Potteries Com
pany is dead.
The New York people, who incor-
porated the S27,000,000 combination and
obtained the options, are known to
have spent $250,000 in the attempt to
put the trust on its feet. 1t failed sim

the scheme on account of the enormous
capitalization, and refused to take
the stock. The properties to be in

high estimate $1,000, 900, which included
fifty-two potteries and some clay land
and flint and spar mills. The appraise-
ment which was the basis for the sale
Of the properties to the trust, which
was in some cases ridiculously high,
aggregated between eleven and twelve
millions, and the average investor fail

lions of capitalization came in.
On Saturday Col. John N. Taylor, Of
the Knowles, Taylor e. Knowles Com

manufacturers received letters from Mr.
Dospassos last week saying that the

clare that they are through with the

New York, April 2.-The Journal has
dispatches saying that the reports pub
lished yesterday that Aguinaldo in
tends to sue, or is probably already sue
ing for peace, are well founded.
1t is believed that he is making over
lures for an immediate cessation of
hostilities, looking to the establishment
of permanent peace, through friends in
Manila, whom he has asked to treat
with the American commissioners.
The succession of defeats sustained
by the natives has caused them to lose
hope of prevailing against the Amer
lean arms, and as the capture OF Ma
Mia is no longer deemed possible by
the insurgents, Aguinaldo cannot con-
tinue to lure them to his support with
promises of loot.
The terms of surrender demanded by
Aguinaldo will probably be, according
to these dispatches, freedom from pun
ishment for Aguinaldo and his leaders,
the preservation of their personal
rights, and the privilege of accepting
the ransom offered by Spain for the
release of all Spanish prisoners now in
Filipino hands.
This, in addition to the large sums
of money deposited to Aguinaldo's cred
it in Hong Kong banks, should keep
his future well insured. However, I'M
der the treaty of peace made by Amer
lea with Spain, we agreed to use every
influence for the protection OF Spanish
prisoners who had been captured by
Filipinos and to obtain their release
whenever possible. Hence the grant
ing of permission to the insurgent to
mulct Spain, as a condition OF the
United States acceptance of peace with
the natives, might subject this govern
ment to financial complications.
1t is believed that every reason dc
tates that Aguinaldos terms will not
be accepted, and, therefore, the United
States commissioners will adhere to
their original proposition, which was
that the natives should lay down their
arms without conditions in acknowledg-
ment of American ownership, and agree
to accept whatever form of govern
ment the United States sees fit to estab-

TIE CHICAGO ORDERED
To Make Very Long Voyage by the Navy
Department.


Washington, April 2.-It has been
decided that Rear Admiral Howisons
flagship, the Chicago, will proceed to
the South Atlantic station via the Med
iterranean and Red seas, and thence
around Cape Good Hope, touching at
all the principal ports on the West Al
rican coast. The department consid-
ers it a good thing to make a display
OF an American warship occasionally at
the unfrequented ports of the world,
and the magnificent cruiser Chicago
will certainly create deep impression
on the west coast OF Africa. The last
American warship which covered this
route was the gunboat Castine, when
she was despatched to join the South
Atlantic squadron in 1894. Rear Adj
miral Howison viii sail with the Chi
cago before the end of the month. The
only other ship attached TO the South
Atlantic station is the Wilmington,
which is now in Brazilian waters. The
cruise of the Chicago will require about
four months.

OUR TROOPS RESTING.

Manila, April $3.50 p. m.-The
American troops, under Gen. MacAr-
thur, are still resting at Malolos, where
everything has been quiet to-day. Hos
tilities elsewhere-so far as officially
reported-have been limited during the
last twenty-four hours to an occasional
exchange of shots between the insurg-
ents and the troops forming the lines
Of Gen. Lawton and Gen. Hall, extend
ing from the water works to La Lonia.
But this shooting has been just active
enough to make the lives OF the SOL
diers a burden and to compel the Offic-
ers to sleep in trenches, clothed and in
readiness to repel possible attacks.
Most of the Americans are becom-
ing convinced that the backbone of the
insurgent opposition is broken. There
are numerous rumors pointing to
AN EARLY COLLAPSE

that Gen. Pho del Pillar, the best fighter
among the Filipino officers, will desert
Aguinaldo and give his support to the
Americans.
experience of the natives, refuse to be-
lieve that the rebellion is anywhere
near put down. They declare that the
Filipinos will not take their defeat at
Malolos, with the loss of the city and
the removal of their so-called govern
ment, seriously to heart. On the con-
trary the Spaniards predict that the in
surgents will hover near the American
lines, bothering them as much as pos
sible, and when attacked in force, dis
solve only to reappear at other points.
This sort of tactics-the Spaniards say
will be followed until the wet sea-
son compels the Americans to be hous-
ed in barracks, and then the Filipinos
will return and reoccupy such towns as
the United States troops do not gar
rison. With the next dry season a re-
petition of the present operations will
begin.
TIME ALONE WILL SHOW
how much there is in this theory; but
as against it, it must be borne in mind
that the Spaniards in their domination
of the Philippines, never gave the in
habitantS a demonstration OF power
comparable in effectiveness to that
given them by the United States.
A priest and two members of the So
called Filipino Congress, who hid them
selves in the woods during the fighting
which preceded the capture of Malolos,
returned this morning and declared
that 1000 of the Filipino soldiers were
anxious to give up fighting, and would
do so but for their officers, who keep
them under arms.
The whole country between Malolos
and Caloocan is now full of friendless
women, children and old people, who
are returning to their homes,
CARRYING WHITE FLAGS.
The Americans are trying to gain the
confidence of the inhabitants by prov
ing to them that if they will return
and attend to heir ordinary work
peacefully no harm will befall them.
Two hundred and fifty civilians came

while on the Dolphin, assisted in the
capture of the slave brig Echo, with
three hundred slaves aboard. After

attached TO the steamer Mohawk,
which captured the SLAYER Wildfire of
the coast of Cuba, with SEQ slaves on
board. After the breaking out of the
war, the Mohawk was placed in the
Texas and East Gulf blockade. but
Carpenter was transferred in 1862 to
the steamer Flag, OF the south ATTAIN
tic squadron, and on July 10th, OF that
year was promoted to Lieutenant Com
mander. He next saw service on the
monitor Catskill, of the South Atlantic
blockading fleet, and was on board dur
ing the operations and attacks upon

with the sloop Hartford, the flagship.
His first command was the steamer
Wyoming, of the same squadron, and
after being on her a year. came back
10 this CITY and for two years was sta
toned at the Portsmouth navy yard,
during which time he was commission

squadron in 1894, he saw many of the
naval movements of the Chino-Japan-
csc war. Under his orders was fired
the first and only shot by an American
man-of-war at a Chinese ship, thereby
enforcing demands of this government
and ayerting the impending breach OF
relations between the United States and
China. His action was commended by
our government.
Admiral Carpenter was retired in
1896 after forty-six years of continuous
and honorable service, but during the
Spanish war was recalled from retire

AGONCUJO'S OPINION.

Paris, April 2.-Agoncillo, the agent
of Aguinaldo, in the course of an inter-
view published to-day in La Patrie,
says:
1.-The capture of Malolos is not as i'm
portant as the Americans are trying to
make it appear. The Filipino govern
ment had already determined upon re-
moval to San Fernando, and small
detachment of troops was left with or
ders to burn the town and thus to draw
the Americans inland
1.-TWO months of rain and fever will
save the Filipinos their ammunition
and a good deal of trouble, and the
war will not end while a single Fill
pino remains to bear arms"
He charges Major General Otis with
opening the hostilities, and holds the
Americans responsible Cor the transfer
of the Spanish prisoners and for pre-
venting the F'ilipinos negotiating a
treaty with Spain.
Agoncillo is confined to his room
with the influenza.
