unaccounted for and not known. A
telegram was sent to Admiral Dewey
to-day asking him to inform the depart

1t is accepted at the department that
the reason that he has not already fur

Experiments in the Philippines in Self
Government.

Government.
Washington. May lit is declared at
the state department that the proCla-
nation issued by the Philippine COM
mission just before the beginning of
the last campaign represents the maxi
mum concessions to be made to the in
Surgents by the United States govern
ment. II is realized now more strongly
than ever at any other time that the
capacity Of the FilipinoS for self-gov-
ernment is an undetermined question.
The United States government is will
ig to accord the natives a opportunity
to test their ability. The Philippine
commission proposes to allow them al
most complete control of their local
affairs, exercising only such supervision
may be necessary to guard against the
consequences of mistakes on the part
of the native municipal and provincial
officials in their first experiment at self
government. The experiment is al
ready in progress at some points in
the Philippines outside the island of
LuZon, where the United States authori-
ties have hoisted the flag and assumed
sovereignty, yet have continued the To-
cal governments under native direction.
So far as the reports indicate. these
promise to have a good influence in
shaping the attitude toward the United
States of a considerable element among
the Filipinos which has been suspicious
of our intentions.

GERMAN COMMENT.
Their Claims Will Lead to Diplomatic
Negotiations.

-$eSo'iahi"hss
Berlin May THE newspapers of
Germany, commenting upon the latest
news from the Philippines, express the
hope that the United States will now
end the hostiities in the far East. The
Frankfurter Zeitung says:
I'VE trust that President Mckinley
and his advisers will not be misled by
jingoes. but that they will listen to the
voice of the Filipinos. as expressed
through their leaders, and to the voice
of the American nation. as expressed
by the serious press and the declara
tions of sober minded politicians. We
have never doubted the ability of the
Americans to enforce their will in the
Philippines. but 1t seems the moment
has come to make good the wrong
done"
The Vossische Zeitung. basing it's
comment upon published advices from
the Philippines, says that the war is
intlicting grave injury upon German
commercial interests and details num-
ber of cases in support of this aSser-
ton. The journal last quoted says the
German consul at Iloilo made a list of
everything belonging to German citi-
Zens there that was destroyed or in
jured in the bombardment and sub
mitted it to General Otis. In reply the
consul has received from General Otis
the statement that the United States
will not pay the damage claimed, as
Iloilo, at the time of the bombardment,
was still in possession of the Span
iards. Other German merchants of
lloilo made representations of a like
character to General Otis and received
similar replies.
The Vossische Zeitung adds that
these and many more claims will prob
ably lead to protracted diplomatic ne
gotiations at Washington.

Sailed for Manila.

New York. May 1.-The United States
cable steamer Hooker sailed this after
noon for Manila to connect by cable all
the principal points in the Philippines.
The Hooker was formerly the Panama,
one of the first prizes captured in the
Spanish war, and has been extensively
altered to fit her for cable service. She
has three great tanks sunk into her
decks. which contain 800 miles OF cable.
This length of cable which is an inch
in diameter with covering, is only a
part of that to be laid. and more will
be obtained at Hong Kong when this
is exhausted. Lieut. ]. L. MaXtield Is
in command. and with him go full Do

Sentiment at Wallace Very Evenly Di-
vided.
Wallace, Idaho, May 1.-The situation
here is unchanged since last night The
sentiment of this town is pretty evenly
divided between union and non-union
Since Saturdays riot the unionists have
moderated their tone greatly, but still
talk defiantly. Mullan and Canyon
Creek districts are unanimously union,
and trade from these points influences
sentiment here greatly. The law and
order element is intensely shocked, but
with the whole machinery of the coun-
ty government except the coroner, in
union hands, they feel powerless to
move without troops to aid them.
The time for holding the inquest on
the body of Jack Smith, the striker
killed Saturday, has not been set. but
il is probable that nothing will be done
until the troops arrive. 1t is believed
here that no more trouble will follow
until arrests are attempted or the
Bunker Hill people'to rebuild the mill
and commence work with non-union
men. The sole object Saturday was
to render that company unable to
work. Should it rebuild and employ
non-union labor. great trouble might
be expected. as the feeling against the
old managers is intense.

Boise, Idaho, May lit would not be
surprising if Governor Steunenberg
would be forced himself to violate the
letter of the law if he decides to take
vigorous action in the Occur d'Alenes.
A very peculiar condition exists. Gov
ernor Steunenberg and Adjutant Gen
eral Weaver went to-day to meet Cen
eral Merriam, who is hurrying from
Denver to this scene. They desired an
opportunity for consultation with
him which might otherwise not have
been obtained, except at the expense
of a dangerous delay. The desire of
the governor is to declare martial law
in the Coeur d'Alenes in order to rem
der the military force effective. Still.
if he does it he will clearly violate the
law, which requires as a condition
precedent to a declaration that an in
surrection exists, a formal application
from the sheriff, probate judge or
county attorney. All these officers are
under the control of the Miners union
and refuse to act. Public sentiment of
the state generally, however, will sup
port the governor in his contemplated
action. Martial law will probably be
declared within a couple of days, and
it is expected the union men will re-
sist to the bitter end any attempt of
the regulars to abridge their liberties.
So a serious conflict is imminent. 1t
is believed 500 soldiers, the number
| asked for by Governor Steunenberg,
will not be sufficient. The Miners
| union numbers no less than 1,200 men,
| all fully armed, many of them with
| guns taken from the armory of the
military companies in the Occur d Alene
| country.
1t was reported here to-day that the
| miners were holding mass meetings
| and making every preparation to make
stand against the troops. One of the
leaders is reported as saying:
| Our position is impregnable, and
any lot of soldiers that starts up the
canyon for us will never go back"

wires connected with high explosives

| ing for the purpose of wrecking the
underground workings of the Bunke,
Hill and Sullivan mine. The mill con.
nected with this was destroyed Sat
urday. Accurate news from the scene
is difficult to obtain, and it is believed
that the wires have been tampereG
with by the miners.

Livingston. May IA miracle in
rairoading occurred here to-day about
5 o'clock this afternoon when the Pack
train was pulling into this station. The
train was slowing up for the switch to
the main line and the brakeman stood
ready to throw the rails over to let he
train pass out from the branch as soon
as the train stopped to permit him to
get off. At the stopping place the cir
on the train refused to work, and the
string of cars drifted down off the open
switch, and, running several rods along
the ties. the engine turned completely
on it's side and the cars behind doubled
the tender like a jack-knife across the
cab. Fireman Jenny jumped, but the
engineer J. J. Martin, was caught un-
der the engine and his left leg fastened
in the quadrant of the reverse gear so
that he was powerless to escape. The
switch is but quarter of a mile west
of town. and a crowd collected. and
after considera BILE work Martin was ex-
tricated from his perilous position. He
will live. but his leg is terribly man
gled, and it is miracle that he was
not killed.
j. j. Martin is famous from st. Paul
to the coast as the man who took the
first train over the Northern Pacific
during the A. r. II. strike in 1894. He
will be taken to their hospital at Mis-
Soula tonight

INQUEST WILL BE HELD.
Rioters Rified the Safe of the Bunker
Hill Company.

Wardner, Idaho, May 1.-Today the
body of Jack Smith, who was killed by
his fellow rioters, was brought down
from the Miners union hall in Burke
and is at Wallace in charge of an un-
dertaker named by Coroner France.
The remains will be brought here in
time for the inquest. This will be held
at o'clock Saturday afternoon. I'm
less the soldiers have arrived in the
meantime the inquest may be post
poned. A telephone message to-day
from Manager Burbridge of the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan, directed that the cid
force stay together here in expectation
of the revival of work. Excavation of
the ruins of the mill to-day disclosed
the fact that the vault and safe had
been successfully blown open by The
rioters before the building itself was
destroyed Only a few smouldering
ashes We're found within the safe. The
loss to the company from the destruc-
tion of hundreds of valuable documents
will be immense.
