OF SULU
SATISFIED
That the Americans are all Right.
He Issues a Terse
Proclamation
TO HIS VERY LOYAL SUBJECTS
Requesting Their Submission to
the United states..The Cap.
ture of Calamba.

NEW YORK, July 2S.-A dispatch to
the World from sandayan, Philippine
islands, July "a, via Labuan, says: Gen
eral Bates reached solu July 16 to ar
range a treaty with the sultan at a con-
ference to begin to-day. The sultan Is
to go to sulu from the village of Mai
bun.
The people of that island display
great frtendllness towards the Ameri-
cans. and 1t is believed satisfactory
treaty will soon be completed. II so,
future hostllitIes between the natives
and Americans In the Sulu archipelago
will be prevented.
The same will be true of the island Of
Mlndanao, which is tributary to the sui
tan.
The only features likely to be trouble.
some are slavery and a plurality OF
wives, which points, 1t Is believed, tine
natives will insist upon.
The sultan OF Sulu has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation to the people:
81 have met the Americans. They
have come among US as frlends-not to
interfere with our religion, rights OF
government. All those who love their
country or sultan warn to be friendly
and not molest them. The Americans
are like box Of matches-you strike
one or two and they all Will blaze up"
The Moros OF Zamboanga are anxious
to have the Americans take possession
Of that port. They have imprisoned the
Tagalo leaders representing Aguinaldo
there.
A gunboat went from Manila to Ba.
noli, small island three miles south Of
Palawan, to re-establish light house.
The commander found the light stolen,
whereupon he steamed to Kubat, on
Borneo, found trace OF It, and finally
got the missing light. He returned TO
Balabac and set It UP again, leaving
friendly natives in charge and the
United States flag fioating oven the
place.
Going back after a short cruise he
found the nag gone and the Filipino
flag floating. He decIdedtO land force
to remove the rebel flag, but the Fill
Iplnos resisted. At length two officers
and thirteen marines were landed after
a long. hard. stubborn fight, in which
the native chief, the first officer and six
natives were killed and several wound
ed, No American was even wounded.
