REBELS CREATED TERROR.
Dealt Vengeance to Those Natives Who
Showed Friendship to the
Americans.

MANILA, June "details regarding
the capture by Fflipinos of two officers
of the United States hospital ship Re-
lief Tuesday were obtained. The Re-
lief lies in the harbor in front of this
city. Third Officer Fred Heppy and As
sistant Engineer Charles Blandford
rugged Il sail on one of the ships boats
and went sailing along the shore, on the
south opposite the insurgent lines. The
boat became becalmed near the shore
and some native canoes with Filipinos
on board put out and captured the two
men, who We're unarmed, and also took
possession of the boat. The United
States ship Monadnock quickly sent a
boat with landing party ashore under
cover of her guns and sh elled tine shore
briskly. The natives, however, rushed
the prisoners into the woods before the
Monadnock' boat reached land. Per-
sons Oh board several other ships saw
the affair through glasses. bnt were un-
able to prevent the capture of Messrs.
Heppy and Blandford.
FRIENDLY natives arriving here from
the country around San Isidri and San
Manuel reported that reign of terror
prevailed after the American troops
were withdrawn from those parts of the
islands. The insurgents who were re-
turning there dealt vengeance upon
those of their countrymen who had
shown any friendship toward the
Americans during the latter's occu-
patton of the territory. The friendlies
declared that unoffending people were
being murdered and that their homes
were burned and their property taken.
Plenty of sympathizers with the insur-
rection remained during the Americans
stay, and they had been reporting these
instances of friendliness towards our
troops.
The refugees added that the inhabit-
ants were badly oppressed by thenative
soldiers before the American occupation,
but that their condition was worse
since. Doubtless there is much truth
in these reports, though such stories
from Filipino sonrces are some times
magnified.

| dent of the United States to avoid con-
fiict in every way possible. My troops,
witnessing the earnestness, the COM
para.iveIy disturbed and unfriendlv at
titude of the revolutionary troops and
many of the citizens of Manila, con-
clude that active hostiliues have been
determined upon, although it must be
clearly within the comprehension of
unprejudiced and refiecting minds that
the welfare and happiness of the Philip
pine people depends upon the friendly
protection of the United States The
hand of Spain was forced, and she has
acknowledged before the world that all
departed by due process of law.
"This treaty acknowledgement, with
the conditions which accompany 1t,
awaits ratification by the senate of the
United States'and the action of its con-
gress must also be secured before the
executive of that government can pro.
claim a definite policy. That policy
must conform to the will of the people
of the United States, expressed through
its representatives in congress. For that
action the Philippine people should
wait, at least before severing the exist
ing friendly relations. | am governed
by desire TO further the interests of
the Philippine people, and shall continue
to labor with that end i'll view. There
shall be no conflict of forces if l am able
to avoid it; and still shall endeavor to
maintain Il position to meet all emer-
gencles that may arise.
General Otis says the negotiations be-
tween the two cOmmlS slonS reached no
conclusions, as the insurgent members
could not submit any formulated state
ment which they We're able to maintain.
They presented as the desire of the i'll
sdrgeuts absolute independence under
the protection of the United States, but
the nature and scope OF the protection
wished for they could not explain, and
the conferences resulted in failure.
In the latter part of January the III
surgentS became aggressive, interfering
with the American troops, and finally
led General Otis to address another let
ter TO Aguinaldo, calling attention to
the arrest by Filipinos of some Amerl-
can soldiers and newspaper correspond
ent, ond requested an explanation. Cen
eral Otis letter added:
Il am doing everything possible to
preserve the peace and avoid all friction
until the Filipino people can be made
fully acquainted with the sentiments
and intentions of the American govern
ment, When L am confident they will
appreciate the endeavors of the United
States and will again look upon that
country us their friend and protector.
81 also fully believe that the present
unrest is the result of Vaccinations of
persons.
Aguinaldo replied that the men We're
arrested inside of his lines for breach of
4 decree forbiddirg foreigners to ap-
proach the insurgent lines. He released
them.
General Otis report explains that the
Americans were not outside our lines.
He told how the American soldiers were
openly insulted and how the insurgents
had continually labored to strengthen
their lines, threatening to drive the
out of the island. and how
finally, on the night of Feb. /, the war
broke out.

necessary to nominate. The feature of
the skirmishing was the boom given
Nash after Senator Hanna's conference
and the subsequent tendency of the
field to concentrate against Nash.
A conference betwe en- Hanna and the
Foraker Kurtz- McKisson faction conf
menccd about midnight beh nd closed
doors. Very little of the p oceedings
leaked out, but it was rumoi ed Kurtz
was holding out i'll favor of making
hard fight TO control the convention.
1t has been customary for candidates
for governor to call ON the governor, but
Governor Bushnell called, with men,
bers of his staff. on the headquarters of
all the candidates for governor. On the
same floor and adjoining the '..row of
gubernatorial headquarters" were the
rooms OF Senator Hanna, crowded with
visitors. There was an effort to usher
Governor Bushnell into the rooms of
Senator Hanna, in the interest of har-
mony, as some of the delegates said, but
Governor Bushnell declined.
Governor Bushnell afterward stated
that he had come over to the Neal
House to call on the candidates for
nomination as his successor and to
pledge all Of them that he would heart
ily support the nominee, whomsoever
he might be, that Senator Hanna was
not candidate and therefore he did
not call on him.
Later Governor Bushnell called on
Senator Foraker.
Senator Foraker went to the Neal
House and called on Senator Hanna and 1
the candidates. The greeting between
the two senators was exceptionally cor
dial. The Foraker party then visited
the rooms of the candidates. After
greetings Foraker and Hanna as well as
the other leaders. were in secret confer
eDce. 1t was reported that Foraker had
joined KUrtz, Cox, McKisson and others
of the opposition to Nash in combine
to nominate Lieutenant Governor A.
W. Jones for governor.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Commission Recommended Route.
Placed the Cost at Not Ex-
ceedinG $IIS,I13,19O.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The state de-
partment made public an official alb
stract of the report of the Nicaraguan
Canal commission, as presented by Ad-
miral Walker, the head of the commits
sion. This synopsis said in part:
The commission has adopted and esti-
mated for the route from Brito to Lake
Nicaragua, called the Childs route, and
from the lake to Greytown, called the
Lull route This line leaving Brito,
follows the left bank of the Rio Grande
to near Bueno Retro, crosses the west
ern divide to the valley of the Lajas,
which it follows to Lake Nicaragua.
Crossing the lake to the San Juan river,
it follows the upper river to near Boca
San Carlos, thence, i'll excavation, by
the left bank of the river to the San
Juanillo and across the low country to
Greytown, passing to the northward of
Lake Silico. 1t requires but single
dam with regulating works at both
ends of the summit level. The sur
veys have i'll general revealed better
physical conditions than were hitherto
supposed to exist, especially as to the
amount of rock in the upper river,
whereby it is possible to greatly reduce
the estimated cost OF construction.
To determine the proper unit prices
for excavation, the average of prices
actually paid to contractors on the Chi
cago drainage canal, which represent
cost of plant, prices paid for work done
and contractors profits were taken. To
these prices certain percentages were
added for the difference in location, eli
mate, etc.
In obtaining the estimates for the cost
of locks, the prices actually paid. for
building the government locks at Sault
Ste. Marie We're taken, and SO per cent
was added for the difference of location.
The commission believes that canal
can be built across the isthmus on this
route for not exceeding S11S, ,113, 100.
Colonel Hams concurs generally with
the views of the other members of the
commission, but his estimate of the cost
is $l35, 134 ,SlS,3 ,30S.

Vorhis of indianapolis, who he said,

ing the principles of the Republican
party. He made speech i'll favor of
bimetallism.

arose to address the convention, the
delegates rising to their feet waving
hats and cheering Justify.
