boldly past the army, which had ex-

New York, June IA special to the
Herald from Washington says
President Schurman, of the Phil
ippine commission, in dispatch
to Secretary Hay has, it is be-
lievcd, recommended more liberal con-
SESSIONS to the Filipinos, with view
of ending the instruction at once. An
official acquainted with the message
said il reviewed the situation in the
islands and was of an encouraging ma
lure.
The dispatch was considered by the
president and Secretary Hay, and the
president has sent a reply. The nature
of the answer is not divulged.
1t is significant, however, that coin
cident with his message to Mr.. Schur-
man cablegram was sent to Gen. Otis,
with instructions in line with the pres
ident's belief that the restoration of
peace can only be accomplished by the
complete subiugation of the Filipinos.
Gen. Otis will continue his military OPP
erations throughout the rainy season.

LOOKS LIKES 4 SUICIDE.
Dredging Lake SaItonstall for Charles S.
 Graves, Body.

eE0Vtb houys
 I The facts as stated below, pointing | to a suicide, were communicated to the | coroner and to the New Haven Water 1 company. A force of men was put at work Saturday afternoon dredging and continued up to yesterday afternoon without finding the body of the SUD- posed suicide. Yesterday at noon the water supply was shut off from Lake Saltonstall by the Water company, al-
 though it is believed by officials of the
 company that in view of the fact that
 the thorough dredging has brought up
 no body the suicide was fake and that
 the letter was left by a man who de- sired either to bother his wife or else to beat an insurance company. The place which the note is thought to re- fer to is about two-thIrds of the dist
 ance up the lake from the railroad.
 At the boathouse at the lake the man
 who rented the boat Friday morning is
 described by the keeper of the boat
 house as being middle aged and rather
 large.
 Charles $. Graves home is at POP Munson street and he had been until lately employed at the Winchester fac- tory. He has not been at the factory for week and his eighteen-year-o son says that he has not seen his father for a week.
 Lake saltonstall has been thoroughly dredged since o'clock last Saturday afternoon for the body of supposed suicide. Last Friday morning man hired a boat at the boat house at the lower end of the lake just before noon. The boat was found some distance above the boat house and a short dist ance from the shore. In it were coat, vest and hat and a wallet and pass book, the name of Charles $. Graves being written in the latter. A letter was also found addressed to Graves and apparently from his wife, in which she. asked him to stop drinking. On the outside of the envelope was written the following: You will find my body opposite the two old stumps of trees. Good by Molie. When they bury me, you can mar" the name of the per- son referred to being withheld by Coro- her Mix.
 A gentleman who is we'll acquainted with Graves stated last night that he saw the supposed suicide on the street last Friday night watching the Odd Fellows parade and said that he thought that Graves had left the letter to scare his wife and make her think | that he had committed suicide.
