General Otis has replied to the three
insurgent officers who entered Angeles
on the Goth with n request, made
through General Macarthur, for per-
mission for n Filipino commission,
headed by a Filipino major general, to
visit General Otis in order to discuss
peace terms and to arrange for the de-
livery Of more American prisoners
that the desired interview cannot be
granted because the s, ggestcd propo-
sitions of the Filipinos are vague, in
definite and unmilitary, and because
the Americans must continue to de-
cline to receive any representative o

Position of UnitedIStates

A Washington dispatch saysi II is
said at the state department that the
proposition as to u permanent Alaskan
boundary laid down by Sir Louis Davies
is nothing more nor less than a, sum-
mary Of claims heretofore preferred.
Therefore, it seems probable that Sir
Louis Davies proposition will not ma
terially advance a permanent settle
ment of the boundary question: and.
that the countries will continue to
act for some time to come under the
terms Of the modus vivendi recently
arranged by Secretary Hay and Mr..

A PROPOSAL 70 ARB|TRATE
Canada Less Headstrong Over
Alaskan Boundary.
WOULD TAKE PYRAMID HARBOR
And Give Up skaguay and Dyea-Must
Have n Seaport, and Arbitrntion
Contingent on tho United states
Making Such q Concession.

A dispatch from London under date
of October 25 says: The Associated
press is enabled to give auth~oritatively
Canada's final proposition for a perma-
nent settlement of the Alaska dispute.
II is very different from the former de-
mands and was delivered to United
States Ambassador Choate by the Can
adian minister Of marine and fisheries,
Sir Louis Henry Davies, late the night
before the latter sailed and dispatched
today to Washington by the official
United States embassy. It Is as fol-
ows:
THAT the boundary line be arbi-
trated upon terms similar to those pro-
posed by the United States and Great
Britain over Venezuela, particularly
those provisions making fifty years
occupancy by either side conclusive
evidence OF title, occupancy Of less
than that period to be taken AZ equity
allows under international law.
THAT AZ u condition precedent to
and absolutely preliminary to. arbitra-
ton, skaguay and Talya would be
conceded to the United States without
further claim il Canada receives Pyra-
mid harbor.'
In other Words, Canada gives, UP
much of the disputed gold country in
return for a seaport, but stipulates
that 1t must get the latter before it
agrees to arbitrate the boundary line.

a German peasant would make trouble
for him; it has done so. The falslfy
of the claim has been easily proved,
and Europe is laughing at The Man
Without a Country. All America thinks
that descent from the wise and patri-
otic Original John Jaeob-one of the
greatest of Americans-is fully as good
as the blood of a Jean Jacques d 'Astorg
who never existed.
There is a story that the prince OF
Wales objected to meeting Mr.. Astor at
the house of the duchess of Buccleugh,
and scratched the name of the alleged
descendant of the Astorgas from list
that the duchess had made. There is
not the slightest proof of this story;
from the nature of the case, there can
never be proof. These are the facts:
The duchess had every reason which
gratitude could suggest for inviting Mr..
Astor; she is the sponsor of Pauline
Astor; she did not invite Mr.. Astor;
Mr.. Astor left London suddenly before
the end of the season. That is all that
is known, but it is enough to make
the miIionaire's ears burn, wherever he

towns and churches, captured many
natives and enslayed ten Spanish, in
cluding a priest and a woman. The
Sangley or Chinese insurrection occu-
pied the attention of the government
in the summer of 1908, with loss of
about 30 Spanish. Later in the fall
all the Sangleys were captured and
killed in their fort, short distance
from Manila, except 200, who were put
in the galleys. Altogether $4,000 Chi
nese were killed. The Mindanao men
continued their naval and land incur
sions for many years. In 1884 they
burned many towns within so miles Of
Manila. Expeditions against them re-
suited in infiicting punishment at slight
loss of life to the Spanish. In 1886
King Corralat's town was captured and
his feet destroyed. The king continued
troublesome until 1862, although a
force of so men served to keep him
within bounds. 1t was not until 1s4S
that the incursions of these fierce peo-
pie ceased. Their naval operations
were rendered too unsafe by reason of
the use of steam gunboats by the Span
ish. In 1889 the Spanish cruelties drove
the Chinese to revolt, and of 10000 but
1000 were left alive, and in 1909 all
the Chinese were expelled on charges
of plotting and monopoly of business.
The natives in the provinces of
Ylocos and Ylogan, north of Manila,
rose in rebellion over unjust regula-
tions, and from December IA, 1852, to
May %, 1863, were uncontrolled. They
killed 20 Europeans and destroyed
some property, but were suppressed
without loss to the military. In 1922
the Bojol islanders rebelled against the
tributes demanded by the priests and
asserted their disbelief in the church

One way OF Ieaoihg ment means some
thing.
The Seventy is the regiment that
acted, on the whole, SO well at San Juan,
when you consider that the colonel,
lieutenant colonel and one of the ma
jors were more interested in shelter
than in getting up the hill. Portions of
the regiment did get up, led by the jun
ior major, Keck; by Capt. Rafferty,,
Capts. Meeks. Goldsborough and others.
In the recrimination that followed,
the faulty officers were so ill-advised
as to dispute the testimony Of their
commanding general, of the London
Times correspondent and other wit
nesses, including the under officers and
men of the regiment itself. 1T was at
this time that Capts. Meeks and Colds
borough united in statement to the
public, mainly to show that their COM
panies went up; incidentally. of course,
it may nave confirmed belief that the
three ranking officers did not. The two
captains were put upon trial for in
fraction of military discipline involved
in trying a case out of court. Gov.
Roosevelt concluded that they didn't
deserve much of a punishment, and now
Capt. Meeks has a commission from
the federal government.

The significance of these losses will

or verse. The light brigade at Bal
