American Flag In Cebu.

| AMERICAN lug IN CeDu.
Manila, P. l., Feb. 26.-SaturdaH til,
German cruiser Kaiserin Augusta, Mlaici
arrived here last night from 1IblIo
brought news that the United States o4,r.
boat Petrol had visited the island of gebn
in the Vizcayas group of the Philippines
and hoisted the American flag. The pres
ident of the local government of the isl
and declared he yielded only to superiol
| force.
The deputation from Negros island
which came here after the people said the,
had accepted the rule OF the United State,
is evidently pleased with its reception
Its members will return to Bacolot. TIKI
capital of the island, on Tuesday.
Later reports show there was corsid
cradle firing at Caloocan last night. 9Th,
Filipinos are becoming more accurate il
firing. During the skirmish last nigh
two on the railroad were slightly woundec
and member of the Kansas regiment va.
shot through the head this morning. Ii
is believed the wound is mortal
A Spaniard with II iL,g OF truce came
through the lines OF the Kansas regimen
this morning at $3.50.
The Filipinos are visible in iorcc to the
northwarl.
Police Raid Native Houses.
Manila, Feb. 26.-The military police
have raided several suspected houses ID
various directions, capturing 30 d. 40 per.
sons in each place.
Stringent measures are dispelling ths
fears OF outbreak. Feeling in the city Il
decidedly improved. The Chinese are still
timorous.
Hundreds of applicants for cedulas be-
siege the officers, the natives apparently
being under the impression that their pos
session insures them from interferen, and
the ignominy of being searched for arms
on the streets. M
1t is generally thought that in the dis.
astrous attempts to attack the city and
destroy property, the F1ipinos themselves
being the worst sufferers, will prevent i
recurrence, but every precaution is being
taken to deal with the emergency if 1T
arises.

a MYSTERY OF THE SEA.

NEW ORLEANS. June 22-Captala NJ
p Doulett, OF the steamer Independence,
has brought to the city piece of the
wreck Of the naptha launch, Paul Jones.
lost in the Gulf last January, which
throws still more mystery on tina: dis
aster The Paul Jones was thought to
have been destroyed by the explosion of
her naptha tank, which would account
for her complete destruction and sudden
loss with all on board. This is now
shown to have been a totally erroneous
theory, for the naptha tank was discov-
cred by Captain Doulegt intact and
uninjured and still three.fourths full, at
Grand Gazier island, near Breton island,
where the wreck was supposed TO have
occurred. The tank was brought to the
city.
Some Is feet OF The launch was still ad-
herring to 1t and seemed to have been cut
OF, indicating that the vessel was run
down in a collision, on the other hand.
the accident occurred where no large
vessels go, and a collision was we'll nigh
impossible. The remainder of the wreck
will be brought to New Orleans from
Grand Gazier on the next trip of the In
dependence.

THE PEACE FARCE.
Russians Favor Torpedoes and Amsri.
cans Favor Gases.

LONDON. June z2.-The correspondent
0f gh4 Times at the Hague says:
This has been one of the moE exciting
days Of the conference. There was a
sharp controversy between the Russian
and the American naval delegates CAP
tain Mahan very pertinen,ly asked why
the employment; Of gases should be inter.
dicted. while the more cruel and whole
sale destruction Of human life aimed a.
" the employment, OF the submarine tor.
pedo boats should be permitted
"shel charged with asphyxlating gas
need not necessarily destroy human
life" he said. any more than chloro-
firm. but might only place men Sors du
combat FOR the time. whereas the sub
marine boa,. steathily approaching under
coyed OF darkness might send thousands
OF sleeping men TO a watery grave. Why
forbid retail asphyxlation By ar and pr
nit wholesale asphyxiation By water?''
Captain Mahan's arguments were alto
gyther logical and unassailab.e, but this
did not prevent lhe commission voting
them down.
