Otis Gives the situation.

Washington, May 9-The war depart
ment has received from General Otis
dispatch giving the situation in the
Philippines, some parts of which have
been omitted by the war department in
making it public The dispatch is as
follows:
situation as follows: Lawton at
Maasin and Bainag. Scouting parties
to north and east. Macarthur at San
Fernando. ** Populate Of country
between Manila and northern points
held by troops returning to homes. APP
pear cheerful and contented. Army
gunboats operating in rivers Have
cleared country west of Macarthur Of
insurgents. Signs of insurgents
weakness more apparent daily"
The war department officials seem to
be even more encouraged than ever
over the condition in Manila. The re-
port of General Otis indicates that the
American troops pre- well disposed. 1t
has been evident that the insurgents
which We're operating in the swamps
and jungles east of General Macarthur
have been very annoying but the army
gunboats have made it too hot for them
to remain.
General LaWton appears to be push
ing northward some Is miles to the east
of Macarthur. The Rio Grande lies be-
tween them, and there the gunboats ev-
identity are at work. The portions of
the dispatch which the department has
not made public perhaps refer to the
future movements of the two divisions
of the army.

THE BUFFALO 81 LIKE.
Little Change In situation. Though
More Men Arc Ont.

Buffalo, May 9.--There is little or no
change in the situation along the water
front. Work at the elevators Is pro-
crossing slowly, and there are no dis
turbances. The contractors are max
Ing strenuous efforts to secure suff1-
cient number of men from out of town
to man all the elevators and claim
that they will be in full operation by
Wednesday. The exporters of grain are
suffering as a result Of the congestion
here. 1t is estimated that fully 10000, 900
bushels of grain have been sold for ship
ment abroad this month and that many
Of the exporters have engaged ocean
freight room for this month, which can
not be used unless the grain is deliver
ed at New York in time.
Little Importance is attached to the
proposition which the New Grain Show
elers' union is to present to the Lake
Carriers association. A member of the
Lake Carriers association said that the
fact that the proposition called for the
abrogation of the contract precluded
any possibility Of favorable action upon
1t no matter how reasonable it's other
terms may be. The association, he said,
was determined not to break the con-
tract.
President Keefe Of the International
Longshoremen's union, who has seen
the proposition, says it is fair one
and should be accepted by the Lake
Carriers.
Between $50 and 200 house men in the
employ Of Grafton & Lattimer have
struck in sympathy with the shovelers.
They operated the Erie, Central and
several other elevators, which in con-
sequence are idle.
Contractor William j. Corners has
made the following statement at his
Ohio street office: "All the men who
want work at the docks will he paid at
the rate of $1.S5 a thousand bushels II
they return at once. If any man does
not choose to come to work, his place
will be filled Other men will be en-
gagged to do the work. and the work will
be done satisfactorily. I have made this
statement to the so called strikers, and
I now make 1t to the public The num-
Der of working scoopers has already
been increased considerably and there
will be no elevator idle"

Havana Free From Yellow Jack.

Havana, May 9.-The continued alb
sence of yellow fever from this city as
tonishes even the sanitary department.
Although great deal Of hard work has
been done in the last three months in
the sanitation Of Havana, there was no
expectation of such a result until the
city shall have been thoroughly drained.
Resident physicians believe that the
steps taken since American occupation
have made it possible that the disease
may be checked for a short time and
look forward to summer of compare
tive immunity from yellow fever. Medi-
cal practitioners, however, believe that
some cases will develop before June.
