COTTON IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Memphis, Tenn, January ia To-
cal cotton firm has received a letter
from General Joe Wheeler, now in the
Philippines. enclosing z sample of the
cotton grown there. General Wheeler
says very little cotton is grown in the
Philippines, however, and most of the
cotton used in the Manila mills comes
from the United States. Speaking of
the insurrection General Wheeler says:
Il regard the insurrection as sub
Stantially over. Had it not been for
the action of those who are called anti
imperialists in the United States who
had deluded Aguinaldo into the idea
that they would secure him independ-
ence, it would have been yer some
time ago. The president of the Filipino
congress-, Senior Bautisto, is at this
place. He tells me that the congress
and cabinet are dispersed n Agui-
naldo is a fugitive ard this informa-
ton we have had from several other
sources. These islands are very rich
and are charmingly delightful. All
they require is a good government. 1t
will be a very great advantage to the
United States to have our mercantile
depots so near the vast population Of
eastern Asia" .

Hung Chang.


Washington, Aug. l6-The president
arrived from Canton this morning. At
the cabinet meeting today message was
read from Conger to the secretary of
state, through Minister WI. Also a
message from Ii Hung Chang, calling
attention Of the powers to the fact that
China would not hold herself responsible
for the safety OF the foreigners if the
allied forces enter Pekin. Anarchy, he
says, would reign and the government
would be unable to cope with it. He asked
that the forces be stopped at Tung Chow
(which they occupied Sunday and that
the ENJOYS be delivered to them there.
1t was decided at the cabinet meeting
to answer Ii Hung Chang that all
negotiations must be made with the gen
erals on the spot and no armistlce could
be agreed to.
The dispatch from Minister Conger is
known to be genuine. This the state
department admits, because he gave
names of marines who were killed or
wounded and these are in reference to
questions asked by the secretary of state.
This assures the safety of the ENJOYS up
till yesterday.
A dispatch from Admiral Remey says
lung Chow was occupied August IL and
the relief colum was scheduled to attack
Pekin August IS.
