NO SUSPENSION

President and Peace
Commission Agree.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June 9.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent telegraphs:
while there is a divergence of views
on the part of members of the Philip
pine Peace Commission, as is usual in
body of five men especially selected
because of their ability to form clear
opinions, this divergence is so slight
that it constitutes no bar to their work
ing together with sufficient harmony to
satisfy the President"
1 am authorized to make this state
ment by a high officer of the admins
| tration who has read the individual
views of the civilian members of the
commission submitted to the President.
THE important point upon which the
commission is agreed" he continued,
lis that there should be no cessation of
hostilities, or, as the Herald expressed
it, that the military operations should
continue during the rainy season, in
order to keep alive the fear among the
F'ilipinos, which the successful cam
paign of the American troops has
created"
1t is denied that President Schurman
has forwarded his resignation to the
President or contemplates doing so, so
/
is admitted there is this difference of
opinion between him and General Otis:
President Schurman believes diplomacy
should be coupled with force; General
Otis thinks diplomacy should be used
when force has triumphed.
But in the instructions given to Pres
ident Schurman and his associates be-
fore they sailed for Manila, they were
ing with military operations. Their
work, they were told, was to supple
ment the military operations. and not
to interfere with them. According to
the official with whom 1 talked, they
have carried out these instructions and
will continue to do so, else there will
be a vacancy on the commission. The
views of the commissioners, showing
their unanimous belief that military
operations must continue, have i'm
pressed the President, and in line with
their recommendations he cabled Gen
eral Otis to continue hosti1ities, and to
President Schurman to neglect no op-
portunity to educate the natives as to
the friendly purpose of this Govern
ment.
The cablegrams received from Cen
eral Otis and other members of the
commission do not show that they are
disturbed by Mr.. Schurman's course,
and the reports of a disagreement in
the commission, it is reiterated, are
without foundation and doubtless cir
culated in the interests of the anti-im-
perialists. The War Department re-
ceived a cablegram this morning from
General Otis with reference to the mill
tary situation, but Acting Secretary
Meiklejohn declined to make it public,
stating it related to unimportant de-
tails. 1t is understood General Otis is
preparing for another aggressive ex-
pedition similar to that recently con-
Quoted against the insurgents at Anti
polo and Morong.

NEW USE FOR
ICE BREAKERS
Russia Makes a Bold
Experiment.

TACOMA, Wash, June 9.-Vladivostok
advices received via Yokohama announce
that Russia has determined upon a def
mite policy of opening communication with
the interior of Siberia through Siberian
rivers flowing northward into the Arctic
Ocean.
This project was originated by Admiral
Makaroff, who spent some time at Vladi-
vostok and other Amur River ports two
years ago. He conceived the idea of util-
izing big ice-breaking machines, like those
used in Denmark, for keeping an open
winter channel through the ice to Vladi-
vostok. The ice breakers We're subse-
quently brought out and have proved an
entire success.
Admiral Makaroff then declared that ice
breakers could be similarly used to open
a summer channel through the ice fields
across Kara Sea, lying between Nova
Zemba and Obi Peninsula This sea
orens for a short time in July and August.
but the open season is so short as to al,
mcst preclude the taking of supplies in
steamships TO the mouths of the various
Siberian rivers, including the Obi, Lena,
Yenisei and Khatansa. Admiral Maka3
roft claimed that the ice breakers could
HHaihtaln H an open channel across Kara
Sea and around the northeast cape at
least four months in the year, enabling
steamships to make several trips between
Northern Russian and Siberian ports to
Russia great advantage from both mill
tary and commercial standpoInts.
Funds were supplied to carry out Maka-
roff's plan, with the result that he started
for Kara Sea last month with the i'm
mense, ice breaker Ermak, which per
formed prodigies during her trials last
winter First she entered Cronstadt
pushing her way through a thick sheet
OF ice She was then sent to Reval, where
twelve steamers were ice-bound and in
great danger. She freed these steamer
and an Ice breaker belonging to the town
Of Reval, towing five steamers through
that the Ermak was taken IN the ice!
bound Neva River to st. Petershure
where the populace, with the Mayor at lis
head gave Admiral Makaroff and his
crew an enthusiastic reception.
