S~churmann's Views.

New York, Sept. Ga special to the
Herald from Washington says: Ihere
is good authority for the statement
that the president has returned TO
Washington with these general IDEAS
uppermost in his mind as to his future
course in relation to the new de-
tendencies:
The Philippines - Civil government
by three commissioners to supplant'
military rule after the rebellion IS
crushed.
Cuba -. Continued military control
until it is determined by means of a
general election whether the inhabl-
tants want independence of annexa-
ton. If independence, the new gov
eminent elected will be recognized by
the United States, and be given en-
establish its stability. If annexation,
the president will be governed by the
sentiment of American citizens as 1t
may then exist.
Porto Rico-Civil government Of the
territorial form, similar to that when
prevails in Arizona. =.
Hawaii-Territorial form Of govern
ment, as recommended by the Ha-
waiian commission, ans as provided for
in Il measure now pending in congress.
Some weeks will elapse before, b
president settles down to the actual
preparation Of his message, but he will
Immediately commence discussion OF
the details of important questions with
the members of his cabinet. Future
discussions with his cabinet may
change somewhat the presidents views
as to the form Of civil government best
suited to meet the Philippine situation,
but at present the commission idea pre-
dominates.
Prof. S%chrnnan, president Of the
peace combustion, is understood to
favor this kind of control. 1t is appre-
ciated that it will be some years be-
fore the islands are ripe for even the
territorial form of government, such as
proposed for Porto Rico, so. that con-
troll by commissioners, much the same
as in the District of Columbia, is
deemed a happy substitute for a mil
.itary government, and a safe and
simple means Of control preliminary to
the establishment Of u territorial form
Of government, when it may be posi-
BILE to give the natives generally the
right of suffrage. -
The plan under consideration con-
templates three commissioners, one
an army officer, to have charge of
fiscal affairs; another a naval officer,
to have control of customs, and the
third, a leading Filipino, of legal ex-
perience,. to look after the judiciary,
all three to lie appointed by the presi-
dent and confirmed by the senate.
Further details contemplate giving the
Filipinos a voice in all municipal af-
fairs and the most liberal self-goyern-
ment possible.

He Tells the Cabinet a Few Things
About the Filipinos.
Washington, Sept. 6. The cabinet
was in session for more that two hours
Yesterday, and a variety of matters
which have accumulated since the
presidents absence were discussed. It
was Secretary Roots first attendance,
the other members present being Sec
retaries Hay, Gage, Hitchcock and
Wilson. President Schurman, of the
Philippine commission, was also pres.
ent by invitation and made a compre-
hensive statement of the situation on
the islands. 1t is understood that with
in the next two or three days he will
make q statement to the press which
will cover his observations on the is
lands, and later will make a formal re-
port to the president, covering the SUBJ
ject in detail. 1t is understood that
President Schurman takes a, hopeful
view of the situation in the Philippines
and has no doubt. with our increased
forces, we will be able to make COM
parative short work Of Aguinaldo and
the insurgent forces. He stated that.
although Aguinaldo :is the leader of a.
very strong faction Of the natives, he
does not by any means fairly repre-
sent the entire population, a consid-
cradle number appearing to be more
or less Indifferent as to the outcome Of
the i~Dsurrection.

Manila, Sept. 5.-Argogula, the most
i%mpregnable stronghold Of the bands
which have been destroying planta-
lions and levyine tribute on the people
of Negroes, was taken Tuesday by the
Sixth infantry, under Lieut.. Col. Byrne.
The only means of reaching the town
was up an almost perpendicular hill
covered with dense, shrubbery and
1000 feet high. The Americans ac-
complished this under fire, and NJ Of
ficer and several men were hit and
rocks were rolled down upon them.
The native strength was estimated at
400. Many Of the insurgents were
wounded and captured and twenty-one
were killed. The American forces cap
tured a quantity of of stores and de-
stroyed the Notifications.
The shipping commissioner of Ma
Mia, a Filipino, hitherto in high stand
ing, has been arrested, charged with
appropriating half Of the first months
salary and leyying monthly thereafter
an assessment from all the native sail
ors shipped from this port. 1t is repre-
sented that he held a commission in
the i%nsurgent army and was raising
funds for the Instruction, but it is
suspected that his operations were
merely private blackmail. The in.
formation resulting in. his arrest
reached the port captain and chief of
police through a sailor who is not in
sympathy with the instruction.
The Official Gazette, published at
Tarlac, which has been received here,
contains an order by Aguinaldo assem-
bling the Spanish civil prisoners and
sick soldiers at the posts of San Fer
naCdo, Union and .DAgupan for repat-
ration. The order stipulates that ves-
sells calling must fly the Spanish or Red
Cross flags. The Spanish commission
er will ask Maj. Gen. Otis for permits
sion to send ships.
Otis Tells of the Victory.
Washington, Sept. 5.-Gen. Otis has
cabled the war department q dispatch
which he received from Gen. Hughes,
commanding the forces at Iloilo. Gen.
Hughes said: q
Lieut.. Col. Byrne on Aug. 81 de-
stcoyed Argogula. the most important
bandit stronghold, killing twenty-one,
wounding many, capturing large guam
titles of supplies, a complete outfit Of
.reloading shells, .bolos, spears, etc. The
fact was remarkable, as the town is ac-
cessible only by a road, an almost per-
pencicular slope, constantly under fire
for 1000 feet; o Ger and two men
were struck by powders relied down
on them, but not seriously hurt; no cas-
ualties are reported; the bandit
strength was 4OO.".

Chicago. Sept. 5. Walter Roller, a
young man whose home is in Herman,

ing house by two unknown men VINO,
so far, have eluded arrest. Young
Roller has been in Chicago only a few
weeks, having secured a position as
bookkeeper for the Griffin Car Wheel
works. The only idea that can be
formed as to the cause of the murder
is that the murderers were two young
men who objected to Rollers atten-
lions to Miss Jessie Horn of Shirley,
ILL.,, whom he met at college. He had
told his brother that two young men
ut the college had objected to his going
with Miss Horn.

time last night, and as everything is as

serious. People have turned out from
the immediate vicinity to fight the fire,
but thus far the efforts have been with
little success. Englewood, on the
Burlington railway, is threatened with

Manila, Sept. 5.-Many Spanish pris.
Oners are escaping from the FilipinOs

stories of hard treatment. They agree
that the Filipfnos are exceedingly

ton of their troops is reduced to the
use Of homemade black powder. The
natives are trying every scheme to get
food and unitions from Manila. Daily
arrests are made for attempts to snug
