OBJECTIONS AMONG THE NATIVES.
President Mckinley satisfied with Re-
cent Adyices from Manila.

cent huNtces from maniia.
WASHINGTON, July ls.-The advices
which the president received from Manila
yesterday and which have given so much
comfort and encouragement TO the members
OF the cabinet TO whom they were com
municated, had a bearing rather on the
political than on the military situation, al
though there is naturally a very direct con-
nection between the two at this time.
The commission. or at least 30 much OF
1t as remains at Manila since the departure
OF President Schurman and Admiral Dewey,
has been unrelaxing In the effort to restore
the confidence Of the natives and aid mill
tary operations by inducing defections
among Aguinaldo's followers. Some progress
has been made; more, it is said, than the
public is acquainted with, for not only have
the United States authorities been able to
secured unqualified adhesion of the natives
OF the more important islands outside OF
Luzon in the Philippine group. but even in
that island they have steadily encroached on
what was regarded as purely insurgent ter
rttory and are arranging for the establish
ment OF full civil governments in some OF
the provinces OF the island wherein Aguin-
aldo has heretofore been strongest. Be-
cause this is to be accomplished by peaceful
means and with the full assent of the in
habitants OF the provinces, the administra-
ton naturally felt that it had cause for
qualification.

A prominent yachtsman who saw both OF
and it's sup races with Defender. but who
declined to allow his name to be mentioned,
said to your correspondent at Ryde today:
IL reckon Shamrock in going to windward
in a moderate breeze could beat Valkyrie
by a minute and three-quarters in a mile.
In today's race it pointed fully a point
higher. sailing faster all the time. Its per-
Torrance under a lib header indicated a
light weather boat, though 1t Is doubtful
what could be done with a jacklarder. 1t
reached wonderfully fast. Its running
seemed its weakest point, though a big top
sail might have made a difference. My i'm
preston was that the Defender would al
least hold It's own down the wind"
Captain Carter said: Il think very highly
OF Shamrock. | believe 1t will come nearest
to winning the cup. Britannia sailed as well
as ever. but 1t is doubtful If Shamrock was
seen at its best"
A well known Cowes yachtsman who has
sailed Soleut waters since boyhood was en-
thusiasttc over the trial and doubted whether
H~erreshoff could do better. He said Sham
rock was a wonderful reacher, went to wind
ward well. stayed like a half-rater and could
have run better II desired.
Ratsey, the great ~sailmaker, also thought
highly OF Shamrock. The boom Shamrock
sailed with today is shorter than the boom
it will sail with in America. and raced with
an Old mainsail. Altogether four matnsails
will be taken across the Atlantic.
Sir Thomas Upton is delighted with sham
rocks performance.

SCENE IN SPANISH SENATE
Women sob Over Pictured suferings
of Spanish Prisoners in the Phil
ippine Islands.

MADRID. July 1s.-A scene occurred in
the senate today. Several delegations Of
women having relatives among the prison
ers in the hands OF the Filipinos sought an
audience with Senior Silvela, the premier,
who had them conducted to the galleries OF
the senate, when Count D'Almeuas drew a
lamentable picture Of the sufferings OF the
prisoners which caused frequent outbursts
OF sohbing from the women. Count DIAL
menas blamed the American authorities and
the Spanish government for the fate Of
these men.
Senior Silvela, in defending the govern
ment, said that although the United States
had at first placed obstacles in the way.
they were now endeavoring to assist in OBJ
tanning the liberation of the prisoners. For
the sake OF prudence, however, and in order
not to hamper the negotiations now In prog
ress. the premier declined to say anything
regarding the steps being taken to &C
complish that end.

General Harrison Gray Otis Defends
His Namesake at Manila.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-In an interview to-

his inability TO agree with the round

a the Philippines. General Otis is on his
way to Los Angeles, having been in Wash
ington. where he had a conference with the
president. He said:
General Otis should be heard from before
the round robin is discussed as TO its
fairness. The commanding general has not
been unduly optinistic-rather the opposite.

Of making highly favorable reports OF his
military operations. but modestly refrained
from doing so. He and his officers do not
look with favor OF newspaper reports which
with all intentions OF being fair are apt TO
be exaggerated. / am satisfied that the
official reports from Manila in regard 10 our
killed and wounded, as we'll as TO deaths
from disease. have been accurate. ] have
noticed nothing in the newspapers to i'll
dictate that there was any desire to suppress
information OF this kind.
General Otis has the situation well in
hand, as he has stated. From an army Of
80, 900 men the insurgents have undoubtedly
been reduced to 4 scattered 10000, and
Aguinaldo's capital is on the back of a
pony. What Otis started out to dc he has
done. He holds Manila and all the strategic
positions which he needed while the rebel
force is held apart.

SOUTHAMPTON, July ls.-(New York
World Cablegram-Special Telegram)-The
first OF the Shamrock-Brltaunis trial races
was run today on the Solent OF the inside
off the Isle OF Wight. The wind was east
erly and 1t blew from ten to fourteen knots.
1t was fairly steady. The course was from
Ryde to the Neb Lightship, then to the
Bany buoy, finishing off the Royal Yacht
Squadrun's house at Cowes. On board the
Britannia were the prince OF Wales, the
Hon. Philip P~ercival and the principal rae
ing men OF the squadron.
Carter sailed Britannia; wruye Hogsrth
sailed the Shamrock. The race was started
at noon with a seven-mile beat to the Neb
lightship. The yachts were a long time
starting. Shamrock was late in crossing
the line. Britannia was half a mile TO

windward, lying closer and sailing faster
than anything ever before seen on this side
OF the water. In the first twenty minutes
of sailing the Shamrock was four minutes
ahead. 1t was never pushed, but was often
distinctly held back. After a seyen-mile
stretch to windward the yachts turned,
Shamrock, l2:55:30 Britannia, 12:59:30.
Spinnaker was then set for a run OF fourteen
miles, then a reach OF four miles to the
solent bank buoy, which was turned: sham

In some parts OF the run Shamrock did
eleven and a half knots. Home from Solent

Hognrth's Opinion.

Captains Archie Hogarth and Robert
wringe OF the Shamrock gave me the fol-
lowing exclusive description OF today's trial
with the Britannia:
"As the first gun went off at 11:55 o'clock
there was a smart breeze southeast by
south. The Shamrock was under her whole
mainsail, jib-headed topsail, second jib,
small ~staysail and jIbtopsail. Owing TO
shallow water of Ryde pier our pilot would
not take her inside Mother bank buoy, so
that We could get nowhere near the line and
the Britannia had all the best of the start.
Captain Carter and Willie Jameson used all
their noted skill to avail to the utmost this
advantage and showed of the Britannia's
points to the utmost as il kept rompins
from one. side of the line 10 the other under

gradually drew closer to the Britannia. so
Mr.. Fife, who was aboard. with Mr.. Ratsey,
the sailmaker, had to hail the royal yacht
for water. We could have claimed a foul,
as both yachts were coming up to beat to
windward at the same instant, the sham
| rocks bowsprit being over the Britannia's
taffrail. But as We were trying the boats
on their merits, We kept the Shamrock hard
to the wind a little longer and so prevented
a foul. Stretching on the starboard tack.
