1870 Skirmishes Since Jan. 1.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 3.-Gener-
al Otis has cabled to the war depart
ment, probably with view to correct
ing the erroneous impressions that
exist in this country as to the state of
the insurrection in the Philippines, a
summary of the rise and development
of the campaign since the first of the
calendar year. His figures go far to
offSetting belief that exists in some
quarters that exists IN some quarters
that since the adoption of guerilla
methods of warfare the insurgents
have inflicted substantial losses upon
American armies in comparison with
the punishment which they have re-
ceivcd.
A significant sentence in the report
differentiates the insurgents and La
drones showing that Otis has taken
cOgniZance of the fact considerable
number of hOstilities are not soldiers
under the rules of war and may not
expect the same treatment. The re-
port, which is dated Manila, April 3,
is as follows
"Since January l, 120 skirm ishes in
the Philippines have been reported,
mostly slight affairs, Our casualties
were ten officers and seventy-eight
men killed, Ii officers and 151 men
wounded. The insurgents and La
drone loss in killed and left on the
field fourteen hundred and twenty-six:
captured (mostly wounded) fourteen
hundred and fifty-thrce, small arms
secured, three thousand and 6fty-one
pieces of artillery, one hundred and
sixty-fve; large captures Of other in.
surgents' property. A number of i'm.
portant insurgent officers are surren
deripg and the situation is gradually
becoming more pacific. "Otis."

Big Land Sales.

The Northern Pacific land sales for
the fiscal year ending on July l this
year will show, for the state of Wash
ington, a remarkable increase. but di-
vested of the Weyerhaeuser timber
deal, the result will be that there] is a
decrease in the sale of farming lands.
This is expected by railroad officers.
The record of the last fiscal year will
never be equaled again. tits probable
next year no matter how many people
come to this state, the sales Of the
sales of the Northern Pacific farming
lands will fall below those of the past
year, though they will still be enor-
nous.
A large portion OF railroad lands in
this state has been sold. There is
still left a large amount of desirable
farm property, but that is going rapid
ly. The timber lands of the company
were practically all sold during the
present fiscal year and unless there
are lieu land sections there will not be
much more timber land for sale by the
railroad.
Inquiries from the East indicate
that the demand for lands this year
will be greater than has been experien-
ced for some time, the Northern Pa
cic no longer owns the best farming
lands throughout the state. It's hold
lngs are choice bits Of property, but
not alone the best property.
Land officials expect an immigration
to this state, which, starting this
month will prove to be the heaviest
Washington has ever known. Railway
officials are looking for more and larger
parties than have ever been sent West
at this time of the year and the move
ment will probably continue all during
the summer.-Centralia News.

Single Mills Are Closed.

Nearly all the shingle mills in Wash
ington closed Saturday night for a
week to curtail the cut and avert the
threatened break in prices, caused by
overproduction. President McNeely
of the Washington Red Cedar Shingle
Manufacturer association, says
eighty-five per cent. of the mills signed
the agreement to shut down for a
week. In single day these mills cut
100000 shingles, which would mean
for the week 1880, 900, 900 shingles.
There has been a falling off in the
Eastern demand and the reduction
OF the cut, tits believed, will have
tendency to steady the market.-News.

Federal Citizenship.

But it has been urged that the in.
habitants of the newly acapiped EerrE
tory must be eithercltizebs, or SUBJECT q
or aliens; that they cannot be; aliens,
that we have no subjects, anu hence
they must be citizens.
This reasoning is more plausible
than sound. In fact, every citizen Is
subject to the jurisdiction of the
United States, and hence is in very
real legal sense subject. This being
the case so far as the national juris-
diction is concerned, the inhabitants
of the ceded territory, are also subjects
but are they citizens?
internationally speaking, of "ourse
they have American nationality, as
as being subject to the jurisdiction of
the United States and entitled to the
protection of the federal Government.
But citizenship is matter OF purely
municipal law. The Supreme Court
in interpreting the fourteenth amend
ment has already beld that there are
two kinds of citizenship, federal and
State (The Slaughter House Cases, l6
Wall, 36), and that these do not neces-
sarily exist in the same person. In
like manner there may be easily i'm
piled third kind of citizenship
territorial. Territorial citizens may or
may not be "citizens of the United
States" ("federal citizens" as they
may very properly be called). They
are federal citizens if, being so already
they have taken up domicile in a ter
ritory, or if they are made federal
citizens by act of Congress. Other
wise they are territorial citizens only
