Channel Is Blocked.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Sept 6.-The
steel steamer Douglas Houghton, the
largest ship on the lakes, lies sunk
across the channel of St. Mary's river
at the Sailors Encampment, and eff
fectually blocks the passage of Lake
Superior commerce. All down boats are
being advised TO wait here until some
thing has been done with the wreck, and
it is said that it will take several days
to raise the steamer. The Houghton
grounded and swung around across the
channel. While in this position she was
struck by the schooner Fritz and near
~ cut in two. The steamer sank to the
bottom at once, in such position that
the deep channel is blocked.

b PHILIPP1NES BLoCKADE
Administration Hesitates 10 .rakes
the Step, Hut Il Giving the Ques-
ton Much Thought.

Washington, Sept. 6. The matter Of
making All effective blockade in the.
Philippines, and especially around the
island Of Luzon, so as to prevent the
insurgents from obtaining ammunition
and supplies, is one that is giving the
administration considerable concern.
It has not been deemed feasible to
proclaim a blockade, as it would indi-
cate a state of war and possibly open
a way to the recognition of the insur-
gents. Whether or not it is feasible
to attack, subdue and garrison all the
ports OF Luzon which might serve as
ports of supply for the Filipinos has
not yet been determined. Heretofore
there have not been sufficient troops
in Luzon to make this possible, and the
question will now arise whether troops
had best be spared for this purpose.
New York, Sept. GA special from
Washington says: The decision of a
momentous question by the president is
pending. 1t is this: Shall the Ameri-
can army in the Philippines be COM
manded by the three major generals of
.A~ AS6 uA0A al Ay-NCASOu "A. Miles,
Wesley Merritt and John r. Brooke I?
Gen. Miles suggests that all the major
generals of the regular army be sent to
the scene of hostilities. It is probable
that this plan will be adopted. It re-
moves the presidents objection to let
ting Miles win the military glory he
would be certain to secure if he alone
went to the Philippines, eliminates Otis
as factor, therefore Otis could not re-
gard himself as humiliated if the three
major generals arrived in Luzon, and is
understood to have Secretary Roots
support. 1t is therefore likely that the
fall campaign against Aguinaldo will
be fought under the direction of the
highest military officers Of the nation.
Unless Adjt. Gen. Corbin succeeds in
dissuading the president from taking
this step, the necessary order will be
issued within few days.
