this under fire, and an officer and sew

down upon them. The native strength
was estimated at 400. Many of the in

secrecy Observed.


Great secrecy is observed as to the
tenor of Mr.. Schurman's report. When
he left the white house he declined to
be interviewed as TO what had trans
pired in the conference further than to
say that he had given the president the
results of his observations in the Phil
ippiues as concisely as he could. The
subject was such great one, he added,
that he would require considerable
time to tell what he knew and he soon
would have further conference with
the president. "Since reaching San
Francisco" he said, Il have been per-
sistently asked for interviews, but have
refrained from having anything what
ever to say. That policy must adhere
TO now, and whatever is made public
of the subject must come from other
sources, not from me-"
Fayors Commission.
Mr.. s lunrman's views are valuable
to the pr lent, mainly as they relate
to the future government of the islands
after peace has been established. He
is not supposed to know anything of the
military situation. President McKin-
ley is depending entirely upon Gen. Otis
for a report on that phase of the ques-
ton. One of his intimate friends says,
though, that Mr.. Schurman favors the
government of the Philippines by a
commission after peace has been re-
stored--a commission somewhat sim
liar to that which governs the District
of Columbia. He would not admit that
much, but private letters recently re-
ceived here indicate that he has this
idea in mind.
To Have Entire Control.
The commission which he is under
stood to favor is to consist of three
members-one army officer to look after
the insular fiscal affairs, a navy officer
TO have charge of the customs, and the
third a leading Filipino of legal train
ing to take charge of judicial affairs
the whole to have entire control of the
whole archipelago, and be responsible
TO the president and congress.
Unconditional Surrender Only.
From Mr.. Schurman's present reti-
cence it is surmised that the president
has given him to understand that the
discussion of plans for establishing
civil government in the Philippines on
the public presentation of any views
directed to that end from those in au-
thority should rest in allegiance until
the army has cleared up the situation
by suppressing the rebellion. The
president has no desire to further en-
courage Aguinaldo by discussing any
other proposition than that of uncon-
ditional surrender.

Stories of dissension among the directors OF
the exposition came from several sources to-
night. 1t was said that p A. b. Widener
President OF the Board. had resigned
and that John Wanamaker and William

he had resigned or not when asked the ques-
ton. but added:
See the musuem people. guess they will
talk"
He was asked whether he would deliver the
Presidents address at the opening Of the eI-
position tomorrow and In reply said:

Neither Mr.. Elkins nor Mr.. Wanamaker
could be found Ono who is familiar with the
affairs of the exposition and the Commercial

while do not think that Mr.. Widener has
resigned. would not be surprised to hear it.
