WASHINGTON, May rs. - Secretary
Hay has received from President Schur-
man of the Philippine commission a
long message giving the results Of the
meetings thus far held with the native
Filipino commissioners sent by Aguin-

it's contents, which were said to be very
encouraging for the outlook that some
thing may be accomplished. President
Schurman reports that the native COM
missioners will take back to their PEG
pie the proposition for form of GOV

from Manila, there are no differences of
any consequence between the military
and civilian members Of the commits

The American scouts were fired upon
from the trenches unexpectedly and

assembled his troops and marched
quickly after the scouts. The Mon

the left and the Kansas regiment at

Believed There Will Be No Further Trou.
BILE on the Docks at Buffalo.
BUFFALO, N. Y, May IS. The clouds
Of trouble which have hung over this
city for the past five weeks are dispelled
by bright sunshine and brighter hopes
for business prosperity The dock labor
ers, who have waged an earnest but
particularly peaceful war against their
employers, having gained almost every
thing they demanded, fswarmed along
the docks looking for work. The supply
was far in excess Of the demand, owing
to the stagnation Of traffic during the
recent strike, but now that the block
ade has been lifted, this lack Of, work
will soon disappear, and the; almost
hourly arrival of grain and package
freight-laden vessels at the port will
surely renew the usual busy aspect of;
the shipping and railroad district.
All the troubles Of the strikers have
been obliterated under most stringent
and binding; agreements, and with the
exception of:the abrogation of the con-
tract system, they have been granted
every demand they made. All along
the line of docks from the export to the
Raymond elevator was large crowd,
all anxious to work, and as many as
could be accommodated were imme-
diately placed. There was no friction
between the new bosses and the appi-
cants, and those best qualified to pass
upon the situation say that under the
new agreement there will be very little
4 ~
scoopers, freight handlers, ore and coal
shovelers all agreed to return to their
respective jobs. The working men who
have fought so hard for remedial meas
ures are not the only ones who feel joy
full. The carriers and contractors are
equally jubilant and the merchants who
have suffered for some weeks from the
scarcity of money in the regular inter-
change of business are grateful for the
changed conditions.

with 5000 men at Candaba, after 30
days Of successful campaigning. He
said to The Journal correspondent:

Isidro to see on the walls of the prison
there the names Of the Is Americans
from the Yorktown.
''From Colonel Ray, the Spanish Off
Ger whom we rescued. learned that
one of the American prisoners escaped
from his captors. His freedom was
short-lived, for he was afterward recap
tured. He was stretched on the ground
before his fellow prisoners and 90 lashes
were given to him.
We found a letter near San Isidro
written by one of the Yorktowns crew,
saying that they were being kicked,
that their hair was being. pulled out
and that they were cruelty treated in
various other ways, and praying their
fellow countrymen to hurry to their re-
lief.
The insurgents make a practice OF
numbering Cinnamon who fall into their
hands and our men, suppose, should
consider themselves fortunate that they
have not been similarly treated, though
the cruelties and indignities heaped
upon them must be hard to bear.
