THE OCEAN TELEGRAPH.
IL There Had Been n Gable in Ex-
istence in 1912 History Would
BE Different.

Owing to the six hours difference in
time between ST. Louis and Paris the
signing of the treaty of peace at s:45
was known in this city several hours
earlier in the day. Had there been an
ocean cable In 1912, says the ST. Louis
Globe-Democrat, the war with England
ia that year would probably have not
taken place. for the British orders ia
council, which were the chief cause of
the war, were revoked five days after
the declaration of war by congress An
ocean telegraph would have told the
fact TO this country instantly. 1t would
also have told before war was actually
declared that the British government
was seriously considering their revoca-
tion. II there had been a telegraph
then the news of ihe signing of The
treaty OF pence on December "a. 1914
would have averted the battle of New
Orleans which occurred IS days later.
This would have prevented the only
really creditable military episode OF
the war on the American side, have
kept Jackson in comparative political
obscurity all his life, and probably have
prevented the reconstruction and ma
tionalization of the democratic party
which Jackson's ascendancy brought
AS close communication between Eu-
rope and America at that time, such as
exists now. would have altered history
in several important particulars.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The opinion
is expressed in official circles here that
the outlook for satisfactory and peace
full final adjustment Of Samoan affairs
is decidedly hopeful. The statement
was made in a well informed quarter
that it is altogether likely that the joint
high commission, by virtue of the
plenary powers vested in it's individual
members, will be able to conclude a
settlement of the Samoan question to
the satisfaction Of all the powers con-
cerned, and that there is such an under
standing between the three powers as
almost certainly will prevent any dis
agreement such as would make it neces-
sary to ask King Oscar of Sweden and
Norway to act as umpire. The peaceful
solution of this delicate situation, full
of possible trouble, is regarded as tri-
umph of diplomacy and as furnishing
the strongest kind of evidence of de-
sire on the part of Germany, as we'll as
on that of the other two powers, to
maintain most amicable attitude one
with another,

WASHINGTON, April 4. Adj utant
General Corbin has cabled General Otis
saying that the secretary of war desired
IF possible that the dead of the present
campaign be returned to the United
States on the early transports and asked
the opinion of the general on the sub
ject.
General Otis cabled that it would be
to send the bodies home now.
The climatic conditions are such as to
make it dangerous to the health of the
people who would handle the bodies.
He was of the opinion that six months
later the remains of the dead could be
returned to the United States.
General Corbin's reply to General
Otis directed that no further effort be
made at present to ship tie remains Of
soldiers to the United States. He told
him that the secretary Of war desired
that not only the graves Of soldiers
buried in Manila be carefully marked,
but that each casket be also marked SO
that there will be no question of identi-
tying the dead when the remains are
removed to this country. With this
care it is believed there will be but very
few unknown dead to be returned.
Many anxious relatives have asked
the war department. if the dead soldiers
were to be sent home, and these inqui-
ries resulted in the cable correspond

BANDITS STILL BUSY,

Five More Captured at Santiago, Includ-
ing a Noted Desperate.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, April Alive
more bandits have been captured, in
Guiding Naicnan, a noted desperado.
The others who have been infesting the
San Luis district seem to have removed
their operations to the north. A body
of armed men few days ago attacked
two Americans in the neighborhood of
Holguin, took their arms and horses,
and then went still further north to rob
the lighthouse at Gibara. Colonel
Grubb Of the Second immunes has gone
in pursuit. ~s-.-
The trouble seems to have grown out
of the cessation of public works in the
province and the delay in approving the
estimates. Many who became bandits
during that period now refuse to return
to work. .. ~.

mission, that being the only proposition
now pending.
Ambassador Whites call on the Ger

PATCH, was doubtless to express the ia
vorable view which this government
takes of the proposed settlement. The
British government had not signifed it's
formal acceptance up to noon, although
in the absence of Lord Salisbury, the
acting officials of the foreign Office take
such a favorable view that British &C.
ceptance is considered assured. The
British characteristic Of mature DELHI
GRAFTON is asserting itself, however, and
tor this reason it is thought that final
acceptance may be deferred for some
DAYS.

BOSTON, April 4. - Rear Admiral
Charles G. Carpenter, U. S. N, retired,
committed suicide at sanitarium in
one Of the suburban districts Of this
city. The admiral had been in ill
health for some time.
Admiral Carpenter was called from
the retired list to active duty in charge
of the hayward at Portsmouth, N. H.,
during the war, while Commodore
Remey was on duty at Key West. Ad-
miral Carpenter had a brilliant record
of 40 years in the service.
For number of years previous to his
retirement Admiral Carpenter suffered
severely from nervous disorders and
soon after being released from service
went under medical treatment. He
had apparently recovered bus six weeks
ago there came relapse and he was
again placed in the asylum. Again he
seemed to improve and the family had
hope that he would be himself again.

Three Men Wounded in a Brisk Engage

MANILA, April 4.-The American
troops are in good condition consid-
ering the fatigues of the campaign. The
plans of the rebels, if they have any.
are conjectural. Considerable rebel
forces have been collected along the
fronts Of General Lawton and General
Hail. who are holding the line from the
waterworks to Lalonia. There is shoot
ing nightly along this line, apparently
for the purpose of breaking the Ameri-
cans sleep. Consequently General Law
ton has detailed five sharpshooters from
each company to attend to the rebels
and the Americans are picking off num-
bers of them.
1t is reported that 5000 rebels under
Pillar are concentrating at Cainta and
Taytay.
General King sent out a reconnoiter-
ing party Of two companies of the North
Dakota regiment and brisk engage
ment followed, during which seven
Filipinos were killed. On the American
side lieutenant and two privates were
wounded.

MANILA, April 4.-The American
troops under General Macarthur are
still resting at Malolos, where every
thing is quiet. Hostilities elsewhere,
so far as officially reported, have been
limited during the last "a hours to an
occasional exchange of shots between
the insurgents and the troops forming
the lines of General Lawton and Gen
eral Hall, extending from the water
works to La Lonia. But this shooting
had been just active enough to make
the lives of the soldiers a burden and
to compel the officers to sleep in
trenches, clothed and in readiness to
repel possible attacks. Most Americans
are becoming convinced that the
Backbone of Insursent Opposition
is broken. There are numerous rumors
pointing to an early collapse of the in
surrection. One of these is that Gen.
eral Pho del Pillar, the best fighter
among the Filipino officers, will desert
Aguinaldo and give his support to the
Americans. The Spaniards, reasoning
from their experience of the natives, re-
fuse to believe that the rebellion is any
where near put down. They declare
that the F'ilipinos will not take their
defeat at Malolos, with the loss of the
city and the removal of their so-called
government, seriously to heart. On the
contrary, the Spaniards predict that the
insurgents will hover near the Amer
lean lines, bothering them as much as
possible, and when attacked in force
dissolve, only to
Reappear at Other Points.
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,
have returned there and declared that
1900 of the Filipino soldiers were anx-
ious to give up fighting and would do
so but for their officers, who kept them
under arms. The whole country be-
tween Malolos and Caloocan is now full
of friendlies, women, children and old
people, who are returning to their
homes, carrying white flags. The
Americans are trying to gain the conf
dence Of the inhabitants by proving to
them that if they will return and at
tend to their ordinary work peacefully
no harm will befall them.
