Joint High Commission Has Been Practic-

Washington, April "A joint high
commission to settle the entire Samoan

upon by the United States, British and

The United States has informally ex-

to have practically unlimited authori-

its decisions back to the several gov

RETURNING HOME.
INsURREcTIoN IN PHILIPPINES
ALMOST AT AN END.
There is Scarcity of Food Among the Inc
surgents and the Ra NIX and File
are anxious For Peace.

New York, April 5.-The following
cablegrain is printed here:
Manila, April 3.-7:45 p. m.-The
situation in the Philippines is now
clearly in American hands. The Phil
ippine commission has decided TO i'm
mediately issue a proclamation to the
natives. 1t will not contain single
word suggestive of independence for
the Filipinos, but will compel their
complete subsection to the will Of the
United States.
The proclamation, which is to be
sent broadcast through the Philippines,
will be an eminently humane docu-
ment, although it is said that it will
give the native a choice between sur
render and practical extinction.
The better classes of the Filipinos,
who fed at the approach of the Ameri-
can troops, are now coming back over
land and in boats TO Malolos. A priest
entered the American lines asking per-
mission to return to his clerical
duties.
Prisoners captured by the American
troops report that there is scarcity
Of food among the insurgent troops.
General Macarthur estimates that
1oo,0 Filipinos deserted their homes,
and believes that their desire to return
is most favorable indication.
The situation in the southern islands
continues uncertain. The latest move
Of the natives there is to extinguish
the lights in the lighthouses.

BETWEEN TWO FIRES.
Retreat of AguInaldo Cut ON by Hostile
Tribes.

Manila, April Recently issued
copies of the Republica Filipino, Agui-
naldo's official organ, contain procla-
nation to the effect that certain parties
are raiding the northern towns and
ordering the same to join the Filipino
army Immediately, or take the conse-
queuces when Aguinaldo shall have
finished with the Americans. This is
construed as meaning that Macaholas,
the governor of the five northern prov
inces, is unfriendly to Aguiualdo. II
this be true, Aguinaldo's retreat is un'
doubtedly cut off at the railroad be-
yond San Fernando.
From the reports gathered by the
American officers from prisoners an6
others, it is believed the rebel army is
constantly losing strength on account
of assertions, and that, although the
enemy may make one or two more
stands, the forces of Aguilaldo will de
generate in perhaps a month, to few
hundred, who may continue waging 1
guerilla warfare in the mountains.

Nebraska Co,one, Exonersted,

Lincoln, Neb., April BY unani-
nous vote the lower house of the legis.
ture expunged from the records the
resolution censuring Colonel Stotzen,
berg, of the First Nebraska. The first
resolution was the result of the charge
that the colonel, who was regular army
officer, was unnecessarily harsh with
the men. Later reports indicate that
the men are more than satisfied with
their colonel, and this, together with
the brilliant work of the regiment, has
caused change of opinion in the state.

session of the United States. Many of
the ports have been in possession of
the insurg ents, and commerce has been
necessarily restricted.
