but it appears that the enthusiasm of
the volunteers is not so great as It
might be, for not single regiment
that has been given an opportunity to
come home has refused. Even the
regulars, we are told on good au-

looking forward hopefully to the time
when their enlistment shall expire.
They have lerrned that the Philippine

The recent military campaign in the
Philippines is the monumental blunder
of the age viewed from a military
standpoint. Our troops were safe in
possession of the city of Manila under
cover of the guns of our fleet, aad
there was no occasion to press the
fighting until sufficiently large army
was provided to move in such force
that the insurgents could be crushed
without unnecessary loss of life on
our part. But for some unaccountable
reason our volunteers were rushed to
the front regardless of consequences
and our army practically disabled with.

SAN FRANCISCO, June ia Seattle
spe e,ial says: A well.authenticated story
comes from Japan to the effect that
all of the men .of.war captured from the
Chinese in the late war between the
two countries are to be returned to the
Chinese government. This is part of
the policy decided on by japan to pro-
tect her neighbor from the inroads of

requirement to be made is that China
invest 80 many millions In new war
vessels, to be built under Japanese
direction.
The Japanese government sends out
notification that the government naval
yards will no longer do repair work on
foreign or native merchantmen, ex-
cept in case of emergency. II Is pointed
out that private docks have been con.
structed sufficient to do the work.

ALL But LUzON
PEACEFUL
Aguinaldo the Only Dis
quieting Factor Lacks
Influence Except
in Luzon.

NEW YORK, June. 4.-President
Schurman, of The Philippine commits
sion, is expected to gather some valu-
able information in his proposed visit
to the several islands of the Philippine
archipelago. says a Washington cor
respondent OF the Tribune.
In the bushwhacking of Aguinaldo
and his followers around Manila,
which makes American military opera
tions necessary. the fact ia generally
overlooked that other parts OF the
archipelago have accepted American
authority unreservedly, and that no
trouble is anticipated establishing an
American government there. 1t is
curious circumstance that she most
favorable conditions are reported to
exist in the Sulu group. President
Schurman has not indicated definitely
whether It is his intention to visit the
group, but the superstition is that he
desires to learn the situation there.
In March General Otis reported that
the Spanish garrison was still main.
tanned In the group, but this was
temporary arrangement, and the gar
rison was expected to retire later. The
Sulus are Mahometans, but they are
said to be most favorable to American
authority, and with proper encourage.
ment they are likely to prove tract
able. Those naval and military
officials In the Philippines have
written interestedly of the prospects
in this part Of tn e archipelago. they
have been almost unanimous In their
opinion that although the people were
Mohametans there were few difficulties
In tie way of assimilatiug them to
American institutions.
Professor Worcester, during his
residence in the Philippines, spent
some time among the Sulus, but the
members of the civil commission have
had no opportunity to learn by person.
al investigation what the prospects
are. The reports have been uniform
in saying that the sultan was anxious
for American protection. Spanish
authority, while never established
throughout the islands, was nominally
acknowledged.
The sultan is said to have some ad-
vanced notions Of civilization.
The inhabitants OF the Sulus are
said to be industrious, but they are
widely scattered, and the native chiefs
demand and receive too large a pro-
portion Of the fruits Of their labor.

CHICAGO, June 15.-The South Park
commissioners have issued an order
excluding from the driveways and
boulevards all vehicles propelled by
electricity. This rule applies to pleas
ure automobiles as well as to those
used by mercantile concerns.
The main reason for the action of
the commission was the alleged effect
of the machines upon the horses, the
animals, it is claimed, becoming frig ht-
ened at the sight of the automobiles
and threatening the lives of the occu-
pants of other carriages rs well as pc
destrians and cyclists.
On the south side, the number of
automobiles run into the hundreds,
and the owners are making vigorous
objections to giving up the pastime.

Denison. Tex. March 1. - The coal
miners strike situation in the Indian
| Territory has not changed from what it
was Thursday. The outlook for an
early resumption of work in the mines
is good, and it appears that there Will
be no serious difficulty resulting from
a lack of coal. for the supply in sight
and that coming with the mines work
ing az they are is sufficient TO supply
the demand Yesterday morning nearly
a full force of miners returned TO work
in the mines at Krebs. and the output
there vii! be sufficient to prevent a
famine in this section. This action Of
the Krsbs miners is having its effect Oh
other mines in the district where the
strike is on. and will tend to settle
ment Of the trouble. At HaTtshorn the
mines are running almost up to their
spring capacity with imported miners
and with men who have returned to
work since the strike. Men are also
working at Wilburton and Anderson. but
the output is not large. \ telephone
message from Coal Gate, is to the effect
that it looks like work would be re-
stunned there Monday.
Work VIII Probably BE Resumed.
There are eco men out at Coal Gate,
and while they have not take any ac-
ton looking 10 a settlement of the trou-
BILE. and have not signified their inten-
ton by resolution. still from what is
CLEANED from individual miners it is be
lieved that the men will return to work
Monday. The two mines at Coal Gate
have large daily output of coal. ana a
third mine being opened there will add
to the output when it is running full
blast. There is no talk of importing
miners a Coal Gate, and the mine OPP
orators have made no statement. The
relations between the bosses and the
miners are pleasant. it is stated. and on
account of the general good feeling eX-
listing and the discussion of the situa-
ton OF the men tending to the re-
opening of the work next MonGay it is
believed that work will b. resumed.
Considerable coal has been brought to
Denison within the last twenty-four
hours from the territory. and has gone
on south TO customers who ordered it,
which is an indication that the output
viii soon resume normal proportions.
