Conflict Between sFilipinos i ana

23.-The Americans and Filipinos were
probably nearer a conflict this after
ICON than at any time since the occupa-
ton. Fortunately the matter was ami
c'ably settled. A Filipino lieutenant
imagining that his men had been In
suited by some American troops,
marched company of 40 armed ma
tlves to the line of the Americans, and
the sentries, four in. mum her, back of
the Montana regiment, in obedience to
orders We're compelled to retire to the
outpast in order to avoid trouble. AS
the Filipinos disobeyed the command
to halt, deployed in the canebrake, and
assumed determined, threatening at
tltude, Lieut.. Jansen, who was in CON-
mand Of the post, telegraphed to brig
ade headquarters and Gen. Otis person.
ally Investigated. the matter. The Fill
lpino lieutenant was most excited and
Gen. Otis insisted upon interviewing
his superior officer. Consequently the
Filipino captain was summoned and he
was also found to: be excited. AS re-.
suit Of the conference he admitted that
the Filipino lieutenant had exceeded
his authority. His men were drawn up
in line, saluted, courtesies were, ( ex-
changed and the Filipinos retired. The
incident is significant, as it shows the
tendency Of the Filipinos to disregard
pickets, knowing that the Americans
are not willing to commence hostilities,
and it also demonstrates the danger of
ncih oHH ~
ipino army precipitating trouble at any
moment. SH
President. Lopez, of the Visayas fed
Grafton, has replied to President Nc
Kinley's proclamation of January 9.
He claims the revolutionary govern
ment antedates the Paris treaty by over
two years. He says he has never been
officially notified of the existence of the
treaty, and that, therefore, he declines
to recognize American authority, and
refuses to allow Americans to, disem-i
bark in force without express orders
from the government at Malolos. ~
!: Gen. Miller, the commander of the
American expedition, replied that the
Americans cannot recognize President
Lopez's authority, because the Filipino
republic is not recognized by the pow
ers. He. also expressed regret at; the
determination of the Filipinos to resist
just claims.
The American and Filipino commits
sioners are reported to have conferred
at the Filipino club with unsatisfactory
results. The natives allege. they must
have official recognition before discuss
ing the question Of protectorate.
Coasting steamers which have ar
rived here report the natives are FORTH
flying Falbayog and the island of Sa-
mar, refusing to allow Americans to
land there. The garrison consists Of
1000 men armed with spears and bolos;
They have only six rifles. Fss's ;
Owing to persistent rumors of q con-
templated attack upon Manila on Sat-
urday and Sunday, the American troops
were confined to their quarters, all the
guards were doubled, and, as meas
ure Of precaution, foreign flags were
displayed on the business and private
houses everywhere, as on the day of the
entry of the Americans into this city.

in view OF the mdwinter rise in February, eX-
cept in the case OF the leading cereals and wool
In manufacturing lines the situation is one Of
great activity. The iron and steel trade is still
excited by feverish demand, inadequate sup.
plies and further advance quotations An
easier tendency in wool is one OF the disap-
pointing features OF the week. the outgrowth
particularly Of unsatisfactory demand for mems
wear goods, but also u reflection of reports OF
projected combinations in the finished goods

active and not advanced to the same extent as
the crude stocks
Lumber Is active at most markets ana prices
are firm because OF well cleaned up stocks
Raw and refined sugar have alike moved up

standing the trade war now going on Wheat

take care of the navy's interests there.
This seems to be very large mum beI

10 square miles of land, with 10 miles

Washington, March 49, Lieut.. De-

here in company with the French am
bassador, M. Cambon, to become naval
attache of the French EN- bassy. Lieut..
DeFaramond has had wide experience
as naval observer, following the
Japanese and Chinese vessels through
the China-Japan war, and now comes
here to study American naval me thods.
Speaking of the American navy, Lieut.
DeFaramond said:
The American navy has attracted world
wide attention within the last year and this is
leading European countries to send naval at
taches to Washington. A German naval officer
is coming to the German embassy and other
countries doubtless will follow in the same
line Since the Spanish American war this
country affords splendid facilities for naval
study. II was the first real test of modern
lighting vessels and naval science must draw
its conclusions largely from what the American
navy accomplished during the war With Spain

that the American navy made splendid rec

st Louis, March Il. ALI Essendrup,
the Swedish and Norwegian vice con-
sui in st. Louis, is perfecting an or
ganization for the purpose of coloniz-
ing the vacant land in Missouri with
Scandinavian immigrants His idea
is to arrange with the various steam
ship companies to make this city their
southwest headquarters, the same as
Chicago is the headquarters for the
northwest. "The scandinavian peo.
Pile are not satisfied in the northwest
ern states, as the climate is too severe
and there are too many crop failures"
said Mr.. Essendrup. "The climate of
Missouri will just about suit them,
and there are about 3, 900, 600 acres of
vacant lands in this state which are
desirable for agricultural purposes.
The whole of the northwest is pretty
well settled and there is very little
vacant land left for the purpose of
domination. The little that remains
is not IN large tracts, but is scattered"
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP OF PLANTS.
Chicago, March l4.-Bv vote of so
to two, the city council last night
went on record as being in favor of
the municipal ownership of gas and
electric lighting and heating plants.
1t should be said, however, that the
matter was not discussed, and it was
believed the average alderman voted
in favor of the proposal on the general
ground that IL never would amount to
anything. The matter came up on a
resolution introduced by Alderman
Rigane, asking the legislature to pass
such statutes as would enable the dis
tribution of electric light and heat.
On a roll call the motion prevailed,
the only votes against it being those
of Aldermen Mangler and Kimball.
