from General Otis to the War Depart

Trims the press dispatches regarding Col
onel Schwan's movement ON San Fran
cisco de Malabon. General Otis says:
'fSqhwan successful yesterday in dfv-
ing insurgents south from San Francesca
de Malabon with loss. He reports the::.
force disintegrated and retiring ON di
vergent roads which are impassable for
artillery or wagons. No intention Os &C.
cupying this country permanently OF tenl-
porarly transportation will return hy
way of Rosario and column will move
direction Das Marinas, probably retiring
on linus. Country of no strategic I'M
portance."
General Otis also disapproyes of Off
GERS families joining them at Manila:
Regarding this question he today cabled
the Department as follows:
Population Manila much congested.
Provision for officers families cannot
be made. Those already arrived togeth-
er with families enlisted men have caus-
ed much perplexity. Would not permit
my own family to come under existing
circumstances; nearly all officers and
men here absent from Manila on duty;
families should await more peaceful con-
ditions.

Astorian called the oregonian's atten-

san Francisco on the score OF the saw
ing In cost OF construction and distance
which might be accomplished. The AS

fact that a greater saving in cost and
distance might be SECURED by having
the cable start at the mouth Of the
Columbia rather than nom seattle In
all these proposed government enter
prises the benefits which might accrue
TO Oregon and the country at large
were explicitly brought TO the attention
OF the oregonian. II was suggested.

peals the oregonian remained silent.

early in the morning-and she was a
murderess. Invent to the little tent out
side to have breakfast, and man came
up behind me and reached over my
shoulder and he was a murderer, Then
when we rode out after breakfast man,
with magnificent broad shoulders and
splendid face, drove, and he was muir
derer The fact is, strange as il may
seem, they (the governor and Russian
officers at Sakhalin) have no choice; all
the domestics must come from the ma
terial they have, and If you fake a thief
he is almost always sure to stay thief,
while a murderer may be very nice
kind Of person. They did that kind Of
thing among themselves, and ] don't
