Belief That End Of the Philippines Insurrec.
ton Is Near al Hand.

Secretary Of the Navy Long has re-
ceived telegram from Admiral Wat
son stating that the entire province Of
Zamboanga, island Of Mindanao, sur
rendered to Commander Very Of the
Castine, Internationally, Nov. 16. The
delivery of all guns is promised The
local chiefs declared themselves loyal.
The information contained In Admiral
Watson's dispatch was received by the
president and his advisers with uncon-
cealed satisfaction. The surrender of
the province Of Zamboanga is regarded
as the beginning of the end Of the rev.
olution in the Island Of Mindanao, and,
1t Is believed, will be hard blow to
those who are still endeavoring to main
tain the insurrection in the Island Of
Luzon.
The war department has not been adj
vised of the surrender of the province
as reported In Admiral Watson's dis
patch, Secretary Root saying he had no
news from General Otis. Both Sec
retaries Root and Long are elated over
the information sent by the admiral and
express the belief that the end Of the
insurrection in the Philippines Is now
near at hand.
On the 21st instant Admiral Watson
cabled the navy department that Com
mander Very had captured the city Of
Zamboanga on the 18th. He was aided
by friendly natives and Moros, and was
holding the town pending the arriva
of reinforcements from Joo. On the
same day General Otis informed the wal

The trial satisfied her builders, the
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock company. that she can justly be
rated as a 17knot vessel. although her
contract calls for only 16 knots, as they
expect that when the figures of yester-
days trial are revised and tidal allow
ances made it will be found that she
actually averaged II knots on her run.
The testing of the battleship was ac-
complished without a mishap of any
sort, and at Its conclusion was declared
to be satisfactory by members Of the
naval board, Mr.. Olcutt of the Newport
News company and by Captain Chester,
who is to command the vessel.

THE CUBANS UNEASY.

Havana, Nov. 2S.-Nothing is known
at headquarters In this division or In
General Lees to justify the report, pub
lished in the United States and cabled
back here. that 1000 armed Cuban in
surgents have taken to the woods in the
province Of Pinar del Rio, and that q
general uprising against the Americans
has been planned for Thanksgiving day.
Indeed the story Is absolutely discredited
by the American authorities, who say
1t is impossible that anything Of the
kind should have happened, or should
be in prospect without knowledge of 1t
coming to some army post.
Rumors Of more or less alarmist
character have for some time been
plentiful around Havana. 1t is said, for
instance, that this general or that one
is about to take to the woods, and 1t Is
apparently true that certain men are
nursing programs hostile to the Ameri-
administration. But the spread of the
campaign of education Is doing great
deal to offset the influence of such peo-
pie, and, in any event, no trouble what
ever is likely to occur until after con-
gress meets.
1t Is fact, however, that many Amer
leans here believe that, IL nothing is
done toward giving the Cubans some
definite assurances, IL not precise
date, regarding the independence Of the
island, there will be rising of some
sort, although opinions differ widely
with regard to what 1t will amount to-.
Some believe that the malcontents will
be practically bandits, easily controlled
by a few troops. Others hold that the
rising would be formidable, and would
call for a large American force.
Yesterday there was Il gathering Of
5000 people at the cemetery to COM
memorate the execution of eight Cuban
students by Spanish volunteers in 1871.
Many clubs were represented Father
Loval who celebrated mass, spoke
briefly, declaring that the execution was
an act Of murder. In the course Of his
remarks he said that he himself was
more Cuban than priest, and ever
ready to sacrifice his life for the in
dependence of Cuba" A procession
was then formed at the school of med
icine and moved to the punta, where
the memorial stone was unveiled.
Sunday evening 500 Catalonians rar
through the streets Of Ell Vedado with
standards crying, Viva Cuba libre'
and viva Catalonia" and viva Max
imo Gomez" Many citizens Joined ir
the cheering evoked by the cry for fret
Cuba.
The flag over the Spanish consulate
was at half mast in honor of the com
memoration ceremonies, Senior Sagrarit
saying that Spaniards, no less than Gu
bans, deplored the awful occurrence.

department that he had ordered two
companies Of infantry to be- sent to
Zamboanga from Jolo. Zamboanga is
the principal city in the Island of Min
danao, which Is the second largest ISL
and Of the Philippine group. Advices
from Admiral Watson indicate that the
entire southern half of the island, which
comprises the province of Zamboanga,
has yielded to the American forces. and
has acceded to the authority of the
United States.
A dispatch from Manila states that
the last Filipino council of war was held
by the retreating leaders at Bayombong
on Nov. 13 in the house now occupied by
General Macarthur. 1t was attended
by Aguinaldo, Pho Del Pillar, GAY
Alejandrino and some members ofA
so-called cabinet. Information N
reached General Macarthur from sen
eral sources to the effect that the counA
ell recognized the futility Of attempt
ing further resistance to the Americans
with united forces and agreed that the
Filipino troops should scatter and should
hereafter follow guerilla methods.
The mayor of San Carlos, who rode in
the carriage with General Macarthur
and Colonel Bell when the Americans
entered the town amid cheers of the
people, was murdered the next night.
Military activity continues in every
section. Colonel Bells regiment has ad-
vanced from Bayombong upon Manga
tarem, where it is supposed there Is a
large insurgent force. Two battalions
Of the newly arrived Twenty eighth in
fantry have been sent by cascoes to
] Bacoor to reinforce the south line.

The Wnnen Door, Problem.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The Chinese
minister visited the state department
yesterday, and it is surmised that his

to the recent European cablegrams,
which have disturbed him by their free
expression Of a purpose to regulate the
affairs of his country on the part Of
Europe and America. The answers Of
the European governments to our re-
quest touching the open door" have
not yet been received, so that the presi-
dent will be obliged to make this mat
ter the subject of a special message to
congress- and to treat it in the most
general manner in his regular message.
