cities, but I cannot give a statement re-
garding the report as 1 know nothing
yet beyond what I have seen In the
papers,.
This was Manager Comiskey's reply to
question last night, when shown a.
statement from President Ban B. john
son, regarding future plans in Western
base ball circles. Chicago reports give
the president of the Western league cred
1t for a plan of reorganization and i'm
provement which will make the Western
a national organization with the National
league as a rival. 1t is stated further
that Comiskey will have st. Louis next
season. Connie" Mack Pittsburg, and
Chicago leader not yet selected. The
circuit under consideration comprises
Milwaukee, Detroit, Chicago, st. Louis
in the West and New York, Boston and
Pittsburg in the East, with ons other not
yet selected. Dispatches from Chicago
state that President Johnson himself has
not yet been offered a position with the
new league, but indications are that he
will not be forgotten. Lotus and Jim
Manning are in the same position, but it
is thought that one or the other will go
to Chicago.
Manager Coniskey was not able to give
any information regarding the reported
new organization. He was willing to
make q few general remarks regarding
the situation next season, but avoided
definite reference to the reported new
league.
"There is reason to think that the
Western league will have new towns
next year. said he, "since the National
league has always shown a disposition to
help u.s. 1t is probable that we will have
two towns In the National league, pos
sibly Louisville for one, and that they
will act with US in stimulating the rivalry
between the organizations, and helping
the sport The Western league, SO far as
I know at present, will retain its present
organization, and I have heard nothing
to the contrary even rumored. I have not
been in Chicago for three weeks, and
there may be something new in the sit
uation, of course. but I am Of the opin-
ion that my conclusion is right. The re-
lations between the Western and National
leagues have always been friendly, and
there may be an understanding between
us next year, which will be new feature

MANILA, Jan. 29-According to a
dispatch from Iloilo, capital of the ISL
and of Panay. at the election held on
Jan. IT, Senior Ramon Melissa was chos-
en- president of the so-called Visayan
federation for term of two years,
his predecessor, Gen. Copezza, being
appointed commander-in-chief of the
forces of the revolutionary govern
ment. Senior Melissa is kindly disposed
towards the Americans, and 1t is hoped
the difficulty between the United States
and insurgents will be settled amic-
ably.
Business was being resumed there
when the dispatches in question left,
and sugar was entering from the ISL
and of Negros. Ships were loading
hemp. The sugar crop is far below the
average, and shows an estimated de-
ficiency of about 5000 tons.
Six native commissioners, headed by
Senior Ramon Avenzan, lawyer, ar
