Washington, July 10. - Important
,ablegrams have been received at the
state department from the Philippine
commission and at the war department
from General Otis, concerning a new
move in the direction of peace. These
dispatches have been in the hands OF
she president for several days, but he
nas declined to make them public be-
cause the ultra optimistic views here.
.ofore received from the same source
nave not been borne out by subsequent
events.
The latest dispa tches, however, are
more encouraging than the previous
ones, but the president wishes to have
iome positive results before making
hem public.
All that can be learned definitely
ibout them is that direct overtures for
oeace have been sent to General Otis
oy Aguinaldo and some of his principal
eaders. 1t was said by a cabinet otf1
.er that if the promises are fulfilled

Benbroke-BothL Loved the Same Girl.
Salt Lake City, July 1s.-Burton c.
Morris, prominent florist, was shot
and killed about o'clock last evening
by John II. Benbrolfe, gambler.
Both men were infatuated with Miss
Leda Stromberg, who was engaged to
marry Morris Benbroke and Miss
Stromberg were dining in a private
room at the Merchants cafe, when
Morris dropped in on them. Morris
and the girl had a few minutes talk in
an adjoining room. Later he is sup
posed to have rejoined Benbrolse. No
one witnessed the shooting. The room
bears every evidence Of fierce strug-
gle, presumably for the possession of a
revolver, as only one was found, while
Morris was shot near the heart and
Benbrolfe had two holes in his hat.
When the police entered the room
i Benbroke was astride of Morris, beat
/ ing him over the head with the butt of
/ revolver Benbroke says Morris be-
/ gan the fight.

Does Away With Old Methods and substi
tutes New Measures

Washington, July ls.-A new treaty
between the United States aud Japan
went into effect yesterday, at which
time also new treaties between Japan
and nearly all of the countries of Eu-
rope and some of the South American
republics also went into effect. 1t is
an event of far-reaching Importance
in the relations between Japan and
the United States, as it does away
with the treaty methods which have
been in vogue for nearly fifty years,
and,substitutes an entirely new method
of procedure.
The treaty with this country was
made November %, 1894, in Washing
ton between Secretary Gresham and
Minister kureno, who then represent
ed Japan here. The changes 1t made
were SO far-reaching it was determined
the treaty should not gointo operation
until July II, 1899.
The countries in which Japan has
made new treaties are the United
States, Great Britain, Germany, France
Russia, Austria, Italy, Spain, Portugal
Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweder
and Norway, Switzerland and Peru
All these went into effect except thos,
with France and Austria, which ar,
deferred until August 4th.

SCHEME THAT FAILED.
Capture of An Insurgent Letter Saved the
America Army.


San Francisco, July 16.-The officers
Of the Second Oregon regiment, while
very guarded in their statements, ad-
nit that the condition of the American
troops at Manila at the outbreak of
hostilities between Aguinaldo and the
United States was very critical,
The capture of letter sent from in
side our lines in Manila to an enissary
of Aguinaldo is probably all that saved
our army from terrible disaster and
possible annihilation
The letter was taken to General
Otis, who found in it the plans of a
plot to open the gates of Manila, sack
the insurgent army to pour into the
the American camps and surprise the
men.
The United States troops were under
arms all night to meet the expected
attempt, but spies had learned of the
capture of the letter, and the only part
of the plot that was carried out was
the burning of a portion of the city.

OTIS is CENSURED.
Correspondents Charge That He Prevents
Cabling of Conditions In Philippines

correspondents Charge That lie prevents
Cabling of Conditions in Philippines
Washington, July ia stir has
oeen created in the war department
~ the charges of the Withholding of
'acts presenting the true condition of
iffairs in the Philippines, which have
oeen preferred against General Otis
oy all the press correspondents at Ma
lila. The correspondents claim that
the evident purpose, or at least the eff
fects of the censorship, was not to
keep information from the enemy, but
to keep from the people of the United
States a knowledge of the real condi-
tions that prevail in the islands. Sup
porting this, the corresp spondents assert
that papers published in Manila, which
are regularly carried through the lines
to the enemy, are permitted to publish
statements similar to those which the
correspondents are forbidden to cable.
General Corbin, in statement, de-
nies that news of occurring events are
suppressed, and upholds the course
pursued by General Otis in this matter
to be wise and proper
