1t is especially urged upon the several
Camps to organize, in their respective
town and cities, Chapters of the United

them during the memorable struggle

Timely Reinforcements.

Manila. May 13.-Although offered
the presidency of the Filipino cabinet,
Senior Paterno declines to accept it un-
til the native congress, now, in special
session at San lsidro. authorizes him
to treat for peace with the United
States.
The arrival of the transport Han
cock from San Francisco, with the
Twenty-first infantry and a battery Of
the First artillery, is timely, as Gen
eral Macarthur is in great need of re-
Inducements, as result of the pro-
longed and arduous campaign.
Prominent Manila Filipinos have de-
cided to publish newspaper, the
Democracia, to advocate peace.
Mr.. Higgins, manager of the Manila
Dagupan railway, and two of his assist
ants, who had remained inside the in
surgent line to take care OF the prop
erty of the railway com mpany, arrived al
San Fernando yesterday. They had
been informed by the insurgents that
they would no longer be responsible for
their safety if they remained longer
within their lines. Mr.. Higgins cor
roborated the stories that have been
told OF the decentralization of the Fill
pinos, and says the rebels are lootine
property. Mr.. Higgins says now is the
time for Americans to strike hard.

A CHECK TO RUSSIA.
China Refuses n Demand for RailwaJ
Concessions.


Concessions.
Shanghai, May l6.-The tsung.li
yaman (Chinese foreign office has Ie.
piled to the Russian minister at Pc.
king, M. De Glers, that the govern
ment is unable to accede to the Russian
demand, made last Wednesday, iOrs|
new railway concession connecting Pei
king with Russia's present system D|
Manohuria.
Not since the taking of Port Arthur
by Russia have the Chinese been sO|
agitated as over this demand. Whetn.
81 M. De Giers named specific route i;
not yet ascertainable, some officials as
serttng that only preliminary notice
was given for line direct flom Picking
to Shan Hal Kwon.
Certainly the British legation iD
Peking had no previous knowledge that
such proposal was coming from ST.
Petersburg. The concession asked iOr|
would ruin the existing northern rail-
ways, in which British capital to the
amount OF t2,UOO, 700 Is Invested, Du'I
there seems to be no alternative route
without interfering with plans for rail-
way extension which the Chimes
themselves have in mind.
1t is believed that Russia's action in
this matter is intended to demonstra'
to the world that the recent convention
with Great Britain respecting spheres
OF influence in China, which was nOtl
ned to the Chinese government almO;
before this last convention was del
manded, has not fettered the action Of
Russia at the court of Peking, and also
TO strengthen Russia's prestige With
the Chinese, which was unfavorabI
affected by her withdrawal of her late
protest respecting the northern rail-
ways.

SPACE TELEGRAPHY.
Signal Corps Experiments With the
MarcOni System.

Marconi System.
Washington, May 13. - General
Greedy today made the first authorita-
tive statement as to the progress made
in wireless telegraphy under the aus
pices of the United States signal
corps. The important conclusion is
reached by General Greely that the
wireless system Is not likely to sup
plant the ordinary method of tele-
graphic communications. The results
SO far obtained have been uncertain.
General Greely's statement is as fol.
lows:
"Since the announcement of the
tests in space telegraphy by Senior
Marconi, two years ago, the subject
has been under consideration by the
signal corps of the army. and recently
experiments have been begun, with
the object of thoroughly testing the
value of this means of communication
for military and other governm entail
purposes. Special apparatus has been
designed and constructed for these
tests, which have already shown suffi-
cient promise to warrant further sys-
tematic trials.
During the experiments constant
communication by helograph and flag
between the transmitting and receiving
stations has been kept up by the
trained men of the regular signal
crops, and this has greatly facilitated
the work of experimenting. Signals,
letters and words have been transmit.
ted and received between these sta
tions, but the great delicacy and con-
slant adjustment required in the pres.
ent receiver have made the transmits
sion OF regular messages as yet unrelia-
bic and uncertain. The presence of
large buildings and large masses of
iron and metal, necessarily present in
cities, makes such places undesirable
for carrying on experiments of this
character. The distance over which
signals may be transmitted by a given
apparatus is function of the height
OF the vertical wire used in either end
and this has naturally suggested the
use OF small gas balloons, such as have
already been used for signal and other
purposes by the signal corps. A sup.
ply OF these balloons has been obtained,
and will be used for this purpose in
the near future.
That there is field of usefulness
Tor space telegrhaphy is undoubted,
but that it will supplant to a material
extent the use of wire for ordinary
commercial telegraphy is not believed.
For connection bewteen lighthouses
and lightships at sea and to replace or
dinaIy flag methods in use between
naval vessels it should prove invalua,
ole, since no kind of weather, nor fog,
darkness or storm. avail to affect it's
use."
