An American Minister In japan Writes
Most Sensational Letter to q Bos.
ton Journal.

Boston, July 10.-Rev. Clay McCau-
ley has written letter to the Tran
script dated at Toxic, Japan, June /.
Mr.. McCauley declares that Admiral
Dewey said to him:
Rather than make war of con-
quest on the Filipino people. would
Jake up anchor and sail out of the har-
bor."
Mr.. McCauley visited Manila in Jam
uary, in search of health. OF his
views there he writes: "For a long
time conld not believe that the dis
Strous drift of events was known to
lie Washington authorities. / was in
clined to lay the responsibility for the
increasing perils upon the military
commander directly in charge.
Yet, now ii seems 10 me- that Cen
eral Otis did this work in the main in
literal obedience to his superiors in
America; that there it was assumed
that the whole right and duty concern
ing the future disposition and control
of the Philippine islands lay in the
wishes and will of the United States;
that what the FilipInos themselves
might wish need not be taken into
the account in formulating plans for
their government
The writer had a talk with General
Otis. "Among other things" said
Mr.. McCauley, General Otis ex-
pressed regret that there was not a
better knowledge of the situation
among the Washington Legislators
than there seemed to be. And he i'm
pressed me deeply by his declaration:
Il was ordered to this post from San
Francisco. did not believe in the
annexation of these islands when
came here, nor do believe in their an
nexation now.'
81 also had the privilege of a con-
versation with Admiral Dewey" the
writer says, and gives this version of
it: dewey spoke much of his con-
Germ over the turn affairs had taken
and added that he was 'powerless to
act Yet j one point of his remarks
he declared: Rather than make war
of conquest on these people l would up
anchor and sail out of the harbor. "
Mr.. McCauley says he wrote Presi-
dent Mckinley. whom he met in
Washington, regarding the situation
and predicting the outbreak which has
since occurred.

Hay Crop in Fine Condition.

Reports from all over Oregon re-
1eived at the weather bureau indicate
that the hay crop of the state is in fine
condition. In fact, many declare that
1t was never better. 1t is late in most
localities, but it is good everywhere.
The recent rains have not injured the
crop to any noticeable extent. Har-
vesting had already begun when the
rains came, but the wet weather did
not last long enough nor was the rain
taIl sufficient to hurt the hay that been
cut. The only effect it had was to de-
lay harvesting, which is already late.

departure of President Schurman NJ

at Manila three members OF the com.
Im4,islon-Major-Genera Otis, Professor
worcester and Colonel Denby. 1t will
De the duty of the last two named to
continue the work of establisbino
nome rule within the lines held bv the
administration troops, in the hone that
tne example will be followed by the
rllplnos outside of the lines, and show
them the beneficient purposes of the
government. Professor Worcester and
colonel DENLY will also aid General
GUS In the conduct of any peace nego.
tiations which may follow any future
operations of the American troops.
Mr.. schurman's dispatch is on the
who!e very encouraging, and the au-
thollties are very much gratified at the
conditions he reports having found at
the points visited. 1t is evident from
what the officials say that Mr.. schur-
man believes the suppression of Aguin-
aldo's lnsurrec.iOn means the establish
ment OF peace throughout the archi-
pelago. He is confident that many of
the people throughout the southern
islands do not openly express them
selves in favor of an American protec-
torate solely because OF the fear OF
Aguinaldo and his Tagal army.
Mr.. Schurman speaks we'll of the sui.
tan OF Sulu, and it is evident that he
feels that there is no danger of trouble
from him in case the United States OBJ
serves the treaties which exist between
him and the Spanish government.
Mr.. Schurman makes a number of re-
Communications regarding home rule
for some of the southern islands, and
that they will probably be adopted by
the president.
The conditions in Negros were found
to be OF highly satisfactory character
by Mr.. Schurman, and home rule will
undoubtedly be given Immediately to
the people of that island, although
some alterations were necessary before
it received the presidents approval.

lev last night, and nearly 100 have
been drowned in the vicinity of what
is locally known as the mound This
is a small piece of high land three
miles from Sealey, near Old San Felipe.
At first, when the flood rushed down
upon the negro cabins in the bottom
of the Brazos, thee days ago, the
alarmed black population ran for this
high land for safety, driving their
livestock with them. The rush of the
waters was so sudden that they could
not get to Sealey or San Feline.
Gradually the water rose and en-
mOached upon their place of refuge,
until tonight not more than half an

that not more than one foot above the
raging torrent surrounding it for miles.

Printing Machinery for Dawson.

There is an interesting race on be-
tween couple of rival Dawson news
paper men for the honor of landing the
INST Ihorne typesetting machine in the
Yukon metropolis. One of these ma
chimes was shipped from Seattle by
way of st. Mich aels a few weeks ago,
and another one left Portland recently.
The latter was purchased by Eugene
Allen, Of the Klondike Nugget, who
also purchased Campbell cylinder, a
Vaughn Ideal hand press, paper cut
ter and job press, and miscellaneous
assortment of printers material, which
will go in by the lake and down river
route, and will undoubtedly lard in
Dawson several days and perhaps weeks
ahead of the outfit which goes up the
river. Mr.. John Filbin, who has
been with the American Type Founders 8
Company for several years, left for
Dawson to get the typesetting machine
in working order in the Nugget office
after its arrival.
