NEGOTIATING FOR A TREATY.
The Sultnn Is Unwilling to Accept
the Terms OFFERED.
A. T. Watts,

Attorneys for Plaintiff.

The Sultnn Is Unwilling to Accept
the Terms offered.
New York, August 14-A special to the
Herald from Ilolo says: General Bates is
still negotiating for treaty with the
sultan of the Sulu islands. The sultan
is as yet unwilling to accept the terms
the Spaniards msrepresented to the
world the nature of the treaty which he
made with them and he wishes to limit
the Americans 10 occupation of the town
of Joo alone, He claims the island of
Siassi and the town as his own.
The sultan seems not to have the sup
port of his chiefs, many of whom express
friendly sentiments toward the Ameri-
cans. Yokanine, the most powerful chief
in the Sulu islands. said in an interview
that he was willing to force the sultan to
terms IL he refused the American PROPOSE
tions. All the chiefs complain OF the bad
treatment the sultan has given them.
War between the controlling chiefs
among the Moros Is more likely than a
war with the Americans, provided we
don't interfere with their religion and
customs
For the first time in history white peo-
pie can travel about the Sulu islands
among the Moros in safety Your corre-
spondent crossed the island without
guard.
On the trip to Mlndanao your corre-
spondent found the Moros friendly. but
the towns of Zamboanga and Mercedes are
held by the insurgents.
In Cebu the insurgents still hold their
strong positions In the mountains. The
majority OF the population don't want to
fight, but are hostile in spirit.
The native servant Of an American offl..
Ger was caught by the Insurgents and
branded on the forehead Traitor
AS in the case Of Iloilo the insurgents
are intrenched about the nearby towns of
Jaro and Malo. The rainy season pre-
vents an active campaign, but considerable
fighting may be expected in the fall. The
rich natives have not returned to their
homes.
The island of Negros is still unsettled
General Hughes has sent extra troops TO
suppress the uprising. The richer class
OF natives are gradually returning to their
homes,

On "A RAN Basis.

For few years past st. Louis and Chi
cago houses have been securing more than
due to the fact that although Houston
and Galveston are entitled to water rates
rail rate from New York and Eastern
points is really In effect. Any gulf line
applying water rate would soon become
involved in rate war with the Eastern
trunk lines and as consequence both
Houston and Galveston are losing trade
which should come this way. The Pee
Gees declaration that II Is cutting rates
to Missouri river points Is attracting some
little attention although SO far no rate
or cut made affects Texas points.

The New Laws.

Railway officials are studying UP tho new
laws which go into effect on the 26th. Be-
sides the anti-rebate law. one becomes eff
fcctiye which prohibits any railway agent
delivering freight unless cash Is paid for
the shipment. This Is Intended. 1t is in

credit. refusing to pay and then having
the freight charge rebated or cancelled.
Such charge would naturally be made
against the station agerA but In his set
tlement he could easily have 1t wiped out,
provided tho shippers and railway officials
were In an agreement.

hers of the Cuero Bnr--Some-
thing of the Dead Man.

Cuero, Texas, November 9.-The sad and
unexpected news OF Judge H. Clay Pleas
ants death was received here yesterday
with deep sorrow by all.
His remains. accompanied by his wife
and daughter. Mrs, Cooke. and the mem
bers of the court of civil appeals were
met at I'll Campo by the Cuero bar and
other friends. The funeral took place to-
day at . O'Clock from his residence.
Judge peasants was probably more uni
versally known and revered In this sec
ton of Texas than any other man In IL.
For sixteen years he was district Judge
of this district and in that time had b.
come acquainted with almost every per-
son in the district and seemed to take a
personal interest in them all.
His was a positive character. but his
sterling honesty aud courageous action
when he believed he was right commanded
the rel pect aud admiration Of those whom
his positive positions antagonized.
He came to this county In 1852 and was
elected district Judge In 1876 at time
when the county was In partisan warfare,
but he at once began the enforcement
OF law in spite of the personal danger
thai he daily incurred. Law and order
was soon established and the prosperity
OF this section began.
All these things make his loss more
acutely felt than that of any other citizen
It Is a great personal loss.
Hls career on the bench Is well known.
