settled by Arbitration.
Washington, May 17.-As result of a
conference held at the foreign office in
London, between Lord Salisbury, Sir Ju-
lian Pauncefote and Ambassador Choate,
the latter acting under direct instructions
from Secretary Hay, ii. can now be pre-
dicted that the high joint commieeion TO
adjust issues between the United States
and Canada VIII be reassennbled during
the coming summer or early fall.
The negotiations have taken a new turn
by the suggestion that the Alaskan boun-
dairy question be submitted to arbitration,
independent Of the other issues Involved,
thus leaving the commission free TO resume
its work on the many other pending ques-
tions.
The boundary question is said 10 be the
main obstacle TO an agreement, 50 much

Two governments have tried to settle the

Mountains or Surrender.
Washington, May H-That the insur-
gents are dslntegrated and demoralized
is perfectly manifest from the press dis
patches and the cable received from Gen.
Otis to-day.
Gen. Lawton. who was pushing the
line Of the rebel retreat along the RIO
Crande, has Aung his advance, which at
last adyices, was resting AT San Miguel,
northward about twelve miles, has taken
San Isidro the second insurgent capital,
and when Ous' dispatch was sent, was
sin pressing the enemy northward.
The fact that he is sustaining few losses
IN his forward movement, although In al
most continual contact with the enemy,
is another proof Of their utter demoraliza-
ton. According TO Gen. OTIS cable, they
stiil continue to throw up entertainments,
but Gen. Lawton's strategy outfianks each
position in turn, keeping them in fun re-
treat and giving them no opportunity TO
reconstruct their scattered forces. II will
aoon be the mountainG or the sea for the
iusureents As our troops could be trans
ported BY sea to the mouth Of the Agno
and a new base of operations established
there. it would be folly for them to take
that course.
Scattered, demorallzed and disheartened,
II Is almost certain that the rebels, in des-
Deration. will retreat into the fsstness Of

LYONS DENOUNCEs sWINDLE.
Says ex-Slaves Are Being Extensive
IN ImpOsed IpOn.

~ imposed upon.
Washington, May 1T-(SpeciaD. Regis
ter Judson Lyons of the treasury says he
is very glad to see the newspapers are ex-
posing the 'cheme to fleece ex-slaVes by
the promise Of pensions. He says he has
received hundreds of letters from colored
people from all parts Of the South and
Southwest, asking him what chance there
is for such a pension scheme going
through Congress. He has invariably re-
piled that there is not the slightest possi-
bility of such law passing Congress,
and the promoters of the scheme know
full well that the bill, which has been
regularly introduced each session, is an
unfaIhered measure, presented by re-
quest" because the member introducing
it declined to be responsible for 1t.
He says he has advised his people not
to contribute a cent to such a bare-faced
swindle, and not TO waste 2 cents for a
postage stamp to communicate with the
promoters of the scheme. He knows of a
number of instances where colored peo-
pie have been induced to subscribe to the
registration proposition, and also for the
charter privilege.
In one little town in Georgia over 2C0
victims were caught for 20 cents each.
Register Lyons says there ought 10 be
some law against such a transparent i'm
position on the credulous colored people
of the country by designing men.

Victoria, b. c., May 17.--According to
news received by the Empress of India,
China will resist further aggression by the

That China intends to oppose the ad-

concentrate with all the fighting men they
could and prepare for war. The arsenais
have been ordered 10 push forward the

Vancouver, B. c., May 17.-Advices from
Formosa give details of the terrible mas
sacre in the vicinity of Taikow, town in
the central district. in which thirty un-
armed villagers were ambushed by about
sixty savages, who killed twenty-rine Of

The cause of the massacre is said to
have been a dispute between savage tribes

father of the child denied the charge and
refused to make compensation to the tribe

New YORK, March 1O.-Colonel
Hubbell, who returned with his
command, the Forty. Seventh Regi
ment, from duty in Porto Rico on
the transport Manitoba to-day, gave
some interesting Information to-
night about the condition of affairs
in our new West Indian possessions.
"There are many persons" he
said, "who think we we're welcomed
to Porto Rico and sent away amid
shower of bouquets This was not
the case. The Porto Ricans do not
like the Americans. They want and
are planning for their freedom.

the times with these natives, but
their hostility was more openly dis
played when it was learned that we
were going to leave, All the while
we were subjected to petty annoy

made to knife our sentries. The ma
tives are treacherous and we had to
use severe measures at times.
"There was at no time an open in
surrection, but | discovered three
weeks ago evidence that the social
ed Educational Society was strong
and bitter in its antagonism. They
held meetings which we dispersed.
We discovered aud nipped in the
bud conspiracy which had for it's
object an entrance into our barracks
and wholesale macheting OF our
soldiers.
SUNLESS there is a great change,
l am convinced that sooner or later
there will be serious trouble down
there. should, however, qualify
their feelings that they hate Amer
leans, not for their personality, but
because they want to be free. The
feeling in the interior of the island
is more intense than along the coast.
The Spaniards are not responsible
for it because they are migrating.
The people there do not like their
old enemies either"
