UP THE AMAZON RIVER.
Commander Todd,o of tho wilminton, send,
an Account of His voyage-He As
cended TO Kuquitos, in Peru.

| WASHINGTON, May 1a-The navy de-
partment has just received from Com.
mander Todd, of the Wilmington. an
interesting account of the remarkable
voyage OF an exploration up the Am
azon river made by that We sci in April
last The Wilmington was instructed
oy the navy department to push on up
the great river and ascertain how far
1t was navigable. Capt Todd reports
that he ascended to Yuquitos, in Peru,
which is about 2, 100 miles up the river.
This voyage was made, as he saws.
against an adverse current, averaging
three knots for the entire distance.
Manaos, ut the junction of the Rio
Negro, with the Amazon, has here.
tofore been regarded as the head of
navigation for steam vessels. and from
that fact IL has grown to be a prosper
Gus city Of 10000 inhabitants. Conse-
quently, the intention of Capt. Todd
to ascend the river above that point
caused CONSERVATION, and in the end.
as revealed by subsequent reports. led
to some adverse demonstration against
the American consul and against the ma
tive pilots who assisted the Whining
tons commander to make the voyage.
Capt. Todd succeeded, notwithstand-
ing these obstacles, in ascending the
Amazon for 1000 miles above Manaos.
and had it not been for lack of fuel he
could have steamed about 800 miles
further, he believes. As it was, the
Wilmington, which entered the Am
lzon from the Atlantic, was within 400
miles of the Pacific and well into Peru
before she turned back down the river.
The possibilities Of the successful
navigation of the vast and hitherto
Unknown interior Of South America,
evealcd by Capt. Todd's voyage, will.
is believed, be of the greatest COM
nercial Importance. Capt. Todd shows
hat the Amazon. Ike the Mississippi
so changeable in its channel as not
0 permit of successful charting, so
hat expert pilots will always be re-
uired.

their families, spent the day in visit
ing friends in Manila. and conferred
with Senores Florentino Torres, Pablo
Ocampo and Teodore Yanco the mem
bers of the local Filipino association,
who will participate in the meetings
with the American commissioners.
Senor Torres was q member of
Aguinaldos commission before the
war. He opposes independence and
favors autonomy and he has been most
influential In persuading the followers
of Aguinaldo to make the present adj
vanccs.
Autonomy Is the burden of the talk
Of the Filipinos, and 1t is thought that
the kind they wish for would be little
different from the scheme Of an Amer
lean protectorate which they talked of
before the war.
Senor Paterno, who has succeeded |
the irreconcilablc Mabino as president
Of the Filipino so-called cabinet, is a
student and writer of ability. He once
drew up a plan of autonomy under
Spain which the Spanish government
promised to adopt, there then being a
troublesome rebellion on foot The
American commissioners, in studying
The question Of Philippine gorvern-
nent, have found several good points
r this scheme. Palermo 10 now the

're anxious for peace. Those who want
money think they may profit by har-
assing the American, while longer.
IN the suggestion of Mr.. Schurman,
resident of the American commission,

tarted a newspaper.
