CABLEGRAM FROM rlANlLA.

Route to Reach New York.

The general public while reading
the exciting news from Manila, can
have very little conception OF the
immense distance the dispatches
from that point have to travel to
reach this country. The New York
Sun recently figured out the route
and the distances. From the island
OF Luzon 1T goes to HOngkong by
cable. Another cable takes 1t to
Saigon, in Cochin China, and another
carries it to Singapore. Around the
Malay peninsula 1t goes by another
cable to Penang, an island on the
west coast of Siam, and from Pen
ang to Madras. Here 1t strikes the
first land telegraph line and crosses
India to Bombay. Thence 1t goes
under the Arabian sea to Alden, un-
der the Red sea to Suez, by another
cable to Malta and still another line
takes 1t to a point In Portugal.
From there It h cabled to Lands
End In England, crosses the Atlantic
ocean to the coast OF Nova Scotia
and thence reaches New York. 1t

San Francisco, Dec. 11.-If stories told
by those who returned on the transport
Sheridan, which carried the Thirty
third infantry to the Philippines, are
true, Maj. John \. Logan. Jr.. may rot
have met his death at the hands of FIJI
pino sharpshooters, as cable stories
have reported. According to the state
ment of George H. Kappftz, the purser
of the Sheridan, supported by others of
the crew of the transport, Logan was
shot by some of his own men. Purser
Kappitz was disinc!ined to go into par
ticuiars regarding the young majors
taking off, but on being pressed TO ex-
plain some of the circumstances. he
said:
Mai. Logan made himself particularly
offensive to the men by his overbearins
manner toward those under him, and this
feeling was heightened by an incfdsn.

had dog which was looked upon sort
of mascot among the men, 1t happened
that the two dogs got into fight and Lo-
gan's dog came out OF the scrimmags the
worse for the encounter. Logan was so an
gered that ne seized the soldiers dog and
threw him overheard. This action only
served to make the feeling more bitter
against the officer and threat was openly
made and repeated many times that Lo-
gan would not last after :he first battle"
The fact is pointed out by the men
who returned on the Sheridan that the
cable accounts of just how Maj. Logan
received the wound in battle at San
Fabian are rather vague, and they think
this is significant.

THE OPEN DOOR, m CHINA.
Decision Of Powers to Maintain This
Policy Very Gratifying to

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE various

sources, touching the decision of the
powers to meet the United States re-
quest for a formal written undertaking
to maintain the ''open door, in China,
are giving satisfaction to the officials
here as indicating the success of this
important diplomatic negotiation.
However, it may be stated the responses
OF the European governments have not
yet reached the state department. It
is realized thoroughly that in matter
OF this Importance the negotiation
must be conducted with the greatest
circumspection and deliberation.
Hence it is no matter for surprise that
the responses have not yet been re-
ceived. It is hoped that the final sue
cess of the negotiations can be COM

special message from the president,
accompanied by an explanatory state
