Washington, Feb. 1S.-The stories Of
frequent firing by concealed natives upon
the American Outposts have conveyed the
impression to the officials here that Cen
eral Otis is being rapidly brought to a
pass where he must assume a most Wig
orouS offensive campaign. Although no
instructions have yet been sent to him,
it is assumed that he Will feel justified

clear them away.
Half a dozen natives, concealed in the
jungle and firing at Ions range at inter-
walls. could make life unbearable for
whole company of regular troops until
they were dislodged. Military officers
who have had experience in this kind OF
fighting say that men become panicky
and lose their nerve under this treatment.
That is, however. what they must eX-
pect, occupying the Outposts and
trenches miles outside Of Manila during
the rainy season, protecting the water
works and strategic points, unless d de-
termined EFFORT IS made before the coun-
try becomes impossible, owing TO the
rains. to carry the war straight into the

1t is estimate that at the rate of
progress now making by the transport

land at Manila about March 1. \ couple
of weeks later the Sherman viii arrive
at the same place, with a similar number
of trooDs. and two weeks after that the
Sheridan is due with the troops now en-
barking at New York. Before the last
of these troops reach Manila, the dry
season viii have gotten well towards an
end and only a few weeks will be left for
active operations. so there is need for
steady work in the preparation at all
points in order to assure a fairly COM
Portable summer for our troops.
a consideration that favors a termina-
ton of the struggle at an early date is
that the latest reports further indicate
that the insurgents are becoming short

A vote was then taken on the minor

luton before the convention.

main work of the convention.
A rising vote was then taken upon
the majority report, and, on the call
for the negative vote, nobody arose,
and the chair declared the resolution
carried-24 to 0.
In the National Congress of Mothers
this afternoon, however, anti-Roberts
resolutions were adopted, as follows:
Whereas, The election of a polyga-
mist to congress threatens the sacred
institutions of homogeneous marriages;
be it
Resolved, Therefore, that the third
National Congress of Mothers requests
the congress of the United States to
repudiate the result of the November
election in Utah, either by refusing to
allow the name of B. H. Roberts to be
placed on its rolls or by expelling him"
The resolution was framed by Mrs.
f. H. Parsons, a delegate from the
Mothers club of Utah, and was pre-
faced with the statement that man is
largely what his home makes him.

but he has set a pace very slow at
times, owing to a bad ankle. Encour-
aged by his position. Miller never slows.
Aronson seemingly had an opportunity
for first when day daWned today, but he
could not stand the strain any longer,
and he began dropping down in his
speed to that point which Gimm had
reached long ago. Gimm, tired but not
speedy, and plucky to the last, circled
the track all day. When he found he
was unable to get first place, Gimm de-
Cided that second would be his lot.
When Lawson's star was in the aScen-
dancy, Gimm was in low spirits, but
when Lawson began to SLOW, Gimm
was encouraged and round the track
he sped at q lively clip and an attempt
was made at a return Of the old con-
fident smile which he wore in the early
part Of the week and in both of the
New York contests.
Teddy Hale was delirious again to-
day. He rode well, but the track had
gone from his memory for a time. His
voice, too, was gone, as was the case in
the New York race. Hale'S trainers
dared to give him a little rest, as
Frederlcks, the SWISS, mad been LETT
behind again and they wished to keep
Hale in the fourth position. Nawn rode
by spells and held his own at such
times, but his frequent dismOunts did
the man no good for position. Inter-
est in the contest is intense and the pa
vilion is constantly filed with a large
and enthusiastic crowd.
Ginn seems to be out of it as far as
the first three positions are concerned
He left the track for two hours tonight
and lost second place to -ArOnson, who
is riding strong and fast, and is rap
idly dropping down towards Hale and
Fredericks. The little Swiss is the
strongest rider on the track at this
time, and may finish as good as second
place. Miller continues to increase his
lead and as ne IS riding fairly strong,
has first place to a certainty.
Hale Will probably secure third or
fourth position, which is much better
than he did in New York recently. The
others are strung out down the line 10
! 500 miles, julius being the tail-ender.

signaling that she was in want of i'm
mediate assistance and sinking. The
British oil tank steamer Mechanism
and another steamer were standing bv
the Bulgaria at the time. The steering
gear of the latter was broken, and her
rudder was beating violently from side

list to port, her deck being level with
the water on the port side. Her port
boats had been carried away.
The boats Of the Koordistan vainly
attempted 10 reach the Bulgaria. but
were unable to do so, owing TO the
heavy weather prevailing. The Koordis-
tan stood by the disabled vessel for
twenty-eight hours, but lost sight Of
her during hurricane, which was ac-
companied by hail, on Feb. s.
1t was evident to those on board the
Koordistan that the machinery of the
Bulgaria was disabled, but, they added
everything was quiet on board her. and
there was no panic, while every one
wore life belt.

MINING
ALLEGED COPPER DISCOVERY.

San Francisco, April 27.-A special from
Tacoma says: 1t is reported that the
largest copper Lodges ever discovered in
the northwest nave been found in the
carbon district north of Mount Rainier
and sixty miles east of his city. The ore
is said to be similar in character and
geological situation to tina found in Nom
tana and to be fully as rich as that of the
Butte mines. Chester Thorne, president
of the National Bank of Commerce of
this cityhas had prospectors at work in
the new district for two years. 1t is stated
that a large force of men will engage in
the work of development as soon as the
snow disappears. D. M. Mills Of New
York and Alvin Seward of San Francisco
are here on a tour of inspection of their
properties in this section. The Tacoma
smelter is being enlarged to four times
its former capacity with the primary OBJ
ject of handling the output of Idaho and
Alaska mines controlled by these capt.
talists. Before returning home they will
inspect the recent coal discoveries in the
Noun Bake region. The Bellingham
bay and Columbia river railway ma be
extended to the mines.
