ARE AFTER THE SP0|LS
lnsurgent Leaders Want Fat
Offices.
HOME RULE TO BE GIVEN
Americans Will Interfere as Little as
Possible in Native Affairs-The In
surgents Are Fleeing Before
Lawton's Advance.

Washington, May Sit is bel;eved an
animatlng purpose in the Filipino pre-
sentatlon Is to make sure that whatever
form OF government is adopted will Of
ford lucrative and influential places FOR
the many ambitious Philippine leaders.
The administration sees nothing in this
aspiration irreconcilable with firm gov
ernment over the islands by the United
States, the opportunity. for the Filipinos
being found in liberal provision for
municipal and even provincial native
government in the islands, United
States officials properly distributed
throughout the isads in Supervisory
capacities, charged to interfere as lit
tie as possible with local affairs so long
as they are conducted without abuses
ana few garrisons of troops at strate-
gic points supported by a naval contin-
gent, 1t is thought by officials here, may
prove to be all that is necessary for the
effective maintenance of the United
States sovereignty over the islands
while meeting the native aspirations for
nome rule The Philippine commission
has been instructed on these points.
Aside from the encoura cement con-
veyed because Of the progress of the
peace negotiations the officials find a
bright promise in the rapid develop
ment of the military campaign. The
press reports this morning announcing
that LaWtOn is meeting slight resist
ance In his movement northward. that
the insurgents are fleeing before him.
and, more important still. that they are
casting away their arms, are facts
tending to indicate the approach of the
END. The throwing away of the arms is
claimed by naval officers to be the re-
suit of the navy's effort to cut off the
supply of incoming ammunition to the
insurgents. Without ammunition there
would be no inducement to carry along
their weapons. II is either lack of am
munition or a breaking down of their
courage that has led the Filipinos to
abandon their rifles.
Moving northward from Balinag,
where he is reported this morning,
Lawton is apparently converging with
his forces upon Mount Arayat, distant
about 16 miles, the point at the bend of
the Rio Grande. where Otis predicted
the insurgents would make their last
stand. With Macarthur moving north
ward from San r St.f ado, tie two coll
umns should meet before this last in
Surgent stronghold within about four
days If they meet with no more than
the ordinary opposition, so that even if
diplomacy fails there is hope of the col
lapse of the rebellion from purely mill
tary reasons within a week or 10 days.

which lasted from II o'clock in the
| morning until late in the afternoon.
Contractor Connors was called before
the conference committee and request
ed to state what concessions he would
make to the men. Mr.. Connors said he
would do anything that was fair, but
that he would refuse to abandon his
contract in compliance with the request
of the strikers.
At o'clock tonight, Mr.. Connors'
proposition in typewriter form, was
laid before the grain shovelers. At
that time, 1000 of them had assembled
at their hall. The proposition was to
the effect that Mr.. Connors would agree
to abolish the saloon boss system: that
dummies would not be placed on the
pay roll; that a representative citizen
of Buffalo would be appointed with
power to Investigate all complaints
made by the men in the future, and
that the men would receive s1.S5 per,
thousand bushels, which was the scale
fixed last year
President Mcmahon declared. imme-
diately after reading the proposition.
that he rejected it and would refuse to
submit it to the men. The committee
of labor men who had conferred with
Connors and the board of arbitration,
urged him to permit the men to vote
on the proposition, but Mcmahon re-
fused. Instead, he walked to the front
of the stage and said: "A fake propo-
stion has been submitted to you by the
Lake Carriers association. And it pro-
vides for a continuance of the contract
system. l have rejected it in your be-
half"
The grain shovelers cheered the an
nouncement. President Mcmahon them
announced that the men would have
nothing more to do with the Lake Car
riers' association, but would fight the
matter out on the docks.
It was announced tonight that the
monthly men at the eleva tors and the
coal beavers on the coal docks would go
out on Monday. This will add nearly
1000 men to the ranks Of the strikers.
There is undoubted evidence that men
are to be brought here by Mr. Connors
from outside towns. and if this is done,
serious trouble is sure to follow

FAVOR ANNEXATION.
Prominent Cubans Want, to Become Citf-
zens of the United States.

Washington, May 6.-Hon. H. o. Cur
It's of the insular commission has re-
turned to Washington after his visit
with the other members of the commits
sion to Porto Rico. Mr.. Curtis stopped
in Cuba and reported that he found
large majority of the responsible people
of that island advocating annexation
Among those with whom he talked was
eX-Presdent Masso. who is avowedly
favorable to the policy of making the
island part of the United States. Gen
eral Masso told him that the planters
and business men generally were favor
able to immediate annexation and that,
indeed. their feeling was unanimous,
except in the case of some soldiers who
were ambitious for a trial of independ-
ent government and also some of those
who are drawing rations from the
United States.

A TEST CASE,
Parents of Philippine Soldiers Not AL
lowed to Write to Them,


Boston, May 6.-Edward Atkinson of
this city has addressed an open letter to
the attorney general of the United States
on the recent action prohibiting the trans
mission of certain pamphlets through the
mails by Mr.. Atkinson, in which the
writer denied that the matter was OF a
seditious nature. He repeats what he
has said in previous interviews, that the
pamphlets have appeared as pubic doc
uments in connection with the proceed
ings of the United States senate.
Mr.. Atkinson also denies that he has
sent any communication of any nature to
any private soldier or any regimental Off
Ger of the United States in the Philip
pines.
Mr.. Atkinson says that as it has been
automatically reported to him that the
parents of Nebraska volunteers had not
been allowed to communicate with their
sons on duty in the islands, and prompted
by Indignation, he decided to make
test, and to do so mailed pamphlets to the
Philippines and wrote to the secretary
telling him what he had done.

CHINESE AGREEMENT.
Details of the Identical notes Made
Public,

Public.
London, May GA parliamentary paper
has been issued containing the identical
notes exchanged between Great Britain
and Russia relative to the spheres of infiu-
ence in China. The preamble declares that
Great Britain and Russia, animated by a
sincere desire to avoid in China all cause
of conflict on the question where interests
meet, and taking into consideration eco
nomc and geographical gravitation to
certain parts of the empire have agreed
as follows:
Clause 1-Great Britain engages not to
seek, either for herself or in behalf of
others, railway concessions north of the
great wall. and not to ohstruct Russian
applications for concessions in that re-
gion.
In clause Russia makes similar
agreement towards Great Britain relative
to the basin of the Yang T.e: clause 3
says that the contracting parties having
in no wise in view to infringe in any way
the sovereign rights of China or existing
treaties. will not fail to communicate to
the Chinese government the present ar
rangement. which, by averting all cause
of complications between them. is of a ma
ture to consolidate peace in the Far
East and serve the primordal interests of
China herself.
A second note, forming an addendum to
the first commences:
I'm order to complete the notes eX
changed respecting partition of spheres
for concessions for railways in China
and then proceeds to record an agree
ment regarding the Shanghai. kuan and
New Chwang railway. protecting rights
acquired under the loan contract and pro-
Viding that the railway must remain
Cflnese line, subject to the central gov
ernment, and cannot be mortsaged or
alienated to a non-Chinese company.
