WASHINGTON, March 24-The Treas
ury Department has decided to discon-
tinue the inspection of tea at Portland,
Or, and to abolish the office of Tea In
spector at that place. the reason given
for the chauge is the desire to avoid as
far as possible the conflict of opinions
rendered probable by the maintenance OF
a number of inspection officers. Hereafter
the tea arriving at Portland will be for
warded to San Francisco for inspection.

Filipinos at Iloilo Disposed to Treat
Troops Better Than on First Arrival.
MANILA, Jan. 17.-Oficial dispatches
just received here from Iloilo, Island of
Panay, indicate that the natives are dis
posed to be friendly. although absolute
ly opposed to the landing of the United
States forces without orders from Malo-
los, the seat of the so-called Filipino
national government. Some of the Off.
Gals at Ioilo are not in accord with the
revolutionary government, but are will
ing to accept an American protectorate,
and will go to state their case to Aguin-
aldo if furnished transportation by the
Americans.
The United States transports New
port, Arizona and Pennsylvania, with
the Eighteenth infantry, the Iowa bat
terry, the Sixth artillery and detach-
ment of the signal corps, constituting
General Miller's expeditionary force,
are anchored close to Guamaras island,
between Panay and Negros, where an
excellent water supply is obtainable.
The natives, though indisposed primar-
lily to furnish the Americans with fresh
supplies, now permit the American
officers to go ashore and furnish them
with an escort during the day time.

II Is ECONOMIC
Comnission Named by the Presi-
dent to Visit the Philippines
Not Political,
But VIII Study Social and Com
lnercial Problems Of the
Islands.
President Schurman of Cornell,
Accepts One of the Five
Places.
Dewey, Otis, DENLY and Worces-
ter of Ann Arbor, the
Others.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. - President
Schurman of Cornell university, was 1T
the White House and had talk with
the president. On leaving, he said that
he had accepted a position on a commits
sion Of five which is to be appointed to
study the commercial and social prob
lens of the Philippines.
It is now understood that the other
members of the commission will be Ad-
miral Dewey, General Otis, Colonel
Charles DENLY and Professor Dean G.
Worcester of Ann Arbor university.
The work Of the commission, it is I'M
derstood, will be of purely economic,
and not of a political, nature. They will
study the manners and customs of the
Filipinos, the material resources of the
country and its commercial possibilities,
but they will not attempt to deal with
the problems of government for the
islands.
The president has been anxious for
some time past to have a commission of
this sort, upon whose information he
could rely. The personnel of the COM
mission is considered excellent from the
standpoint of expert knowledge. Ad-
miral Dewey and General Otis have Of
course become familiar with many of
the practical sides of the Philippine
problem. Colonel DENLY was for many
years minister to China, and is thor
oughly familiar with the people and
many of the problems Of the Orient.
Professor Worcester has lived for years
in the Philippines, and under the wild
est of the Moeros and Sulus, attended
their tribal rites and studied the polit-
ical economy of the islands at close
range. He has written book on the
Philippines which is considered stand
ard reference work, and recently con-
tributed an interesting series Of articles
on the Philippines to The Century Mag
azine. President Schurman said the
commission expected to sail for Manila
about the first of February.

MUCH BETTER
War Department Relieved By
Late Dispatches From
General Otis,
Indicating a Distinct Improve.
mlent in Conditions at
Manila.
Absurd Story From Madrid Rela-
tive to a Mutiny Completely
Negatived.
Otis Has the Situation Well in
Hand, But Time is
Necessary.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The, war de.
partment officials were very much en-.
couraged upon the receipt of news from
General Otis at Manila that indicated a
distinct improvement IN the situation
there. The generals dispatch COM
pletely negatives the absurd story from
Madrid of the American troops at Ma
hila having mutinied and refused to
proceed to Iloilo, necessitating the with
drawing of General Miller's force from
that port. General Otis is master
wherever he has planted his foot, and
undoubtedly is able to carry out any
policy as to the treatment of the natives
the administration is likely to dictate.
There are indications that encourage
the officials here to believe that the
conciliatory policy toward the natives
that was recently adopted, will succeed.
although it cannot be expected that the
Filipinos can be convinced at once OF
the absolute good faith in which Gen
eral Otis is acting towards them.

SCARE AT MANILA.

False Alarm Due to Various Incidents
Causes the Greatest Excitement.
MANILA, Jan. lG.-The situation here
is undoubtedly critical, but Major Gen
eral Otis has it well in hand and there
is no such certainty of trouble as many
believe. The rebels are concentrated on
the outskirts of the town and their lead
ers have issued strict orders that they
shall act only on the defensive.
An accident might precipitate trouble,
but the idea of rebel attack upon
Manila is ridiculous as. the Americans
absolutely control the position.
Aguinaldo has republished the second
manifesto in reply to the proclamation
of General Otis, which was recalled on
its first appearance, but it has proved
Intellectual.
On Wednesday false alarm, due to
trivial incidents occurring si1nultane-
ously in opposite parts of the city, led to
A General Call to Arms
of the United States forces. In Is min
utes the entire city was covered. The
promptitude Of the Americans, while it
created scare for the moment. effec-
tually restored confidence throughout
Manila and dispelled the excitement
due to a passing fear on the part of the
citizens that an outbreak wasimminent.
1t is possible that the Filipinos, after
the diplomatic conferences that have
been had between the representatives of
General Otis and Aguinaldo, have
finally come to understand that the eau
tious and conservative policy of the
Americans is not due to fear and they
will accept the inevitable with good
grace. It is evident that at present they
are unable to appreciate the full mean
ing of the independence demanded and
that when they do understand its ex-
tent til American proposition will be
ACCEPTABLE

DRAINING OF GOLD LAKE.
An Engineering Feat Which Promises
Rich Returns.

An Engineering Feat Which Promises
Rich Returns.
CHICAGO, Jan. 16. "A special to The
Record, from Tacoma, WASH, says:
The steamer Cottage City brings news
from Sitka that Gold Lake, in the Panea
basin, was successfully emptied Of the
greater portion of its water Jan. s..
Many spectators witnessed the sight of
draining the lake into the Pacific ocean
by tunnel 800 feet long through a
mountain spur.
The escaping water surged down a
ravine through which the small creek,
the natural outlet of Gold lake had run,
and plunged over the ice of a second
lake below. The weight of the water
broke the lee with thunderous noise
and threw it around in great masses.
Gold lake fell 81 feet to the tunnel level,
and the volume of fresh water, 81 feet
deep, 5000 feet long and 2, 900 feet broad,
escaped into the ocean.
The gravel exposed by the drainage
runs So to $40 ton. The bottom of the
lake thus contains millions in gold.
Capitalists of New York and San Fran
cisco are behind the scheme. Consider
able decomposed quartz, which had
dropped from lodges around the lake,
was also exposed to view. This quartz
is richly impregnated with free gold.
Tony Labbish and two companions
have discovered a mountain of quartz
within a days march. from Skaguay,
which runs So, 600 to $3, 900 to the ton.

with these rights the people of the
United States do not propose to inter

Matin and GauEois Forecast the Court of
Cassation's Action.
PARIS, Jan. 16.-The Matin and the
Gaulois say they understand that the
inquiry of the court of cessation into
the Dreyfus case is on the point of ter
minating, and that the court will prob
ably report that acts of treason actually
occurred, but that sufficient proof of the
guilt of Dreyfus does not exist, and that
his sentence, therefore, is quashed. The
papers add that there will be fresh
courtmartial. Dreyfus, it appears, was
informed of the revision proceedings
some time ago. but he is under the i'm
preston that they are due to the initia-
tive of the general staff, and in his let
ter the prisoner thanks General Boisdef-
FIRE, the former chief ofthe general staff
and his comrades Of the army for the
action taken.
