UNDER NAVAL CONTROL.
The Army Turns over the Caviie
Peninsula and BRsiIan Islands
10 Adm. Remey.

Washington, June 1.-The navy de-
partment has received the following
cablegram from Adm. Remey at Ca
vite, dated Tuesday:
Army turned over Cavite peninsu-
Ia and Basilan island to naval control
and defense. The army also wants
10 give up Olongapo. We can not
take the latter while short of ma
rines. The SOlace with six offices in
tended for Guam and 100 marines has
been sent TO Kempff. Can the depart
ment send battalion of marines to
the Philippines? Think it important
that the former Spanish naval station
be under navy control"
Washington, June adm. Re
mey's request for more marines Will
be complied with as soon as possible.
The navy department had already
taken steps TO send more marines to
Manila before the appeal of Adm. Re-
mey came. The formal announcement
took the shape of this bulletin:
Measures are being taken at the
navy department to send a battalion
Of marines TO the Philippines. These
men are wanted for service at certain
naval stations in the Philippines and
to replace about so marines who have
been sent into Chinese waters"
A marine battalion is only $50
strong. The men could be gathered
up at short notice from the marines
now at the naval academy and the
New York, League Island and Wash
ington navy yards, so it is expected
that they will be on their way to Ma
Mia by August l at the latest.
II is figured at the department that
there are now about 1000 marines in
the Philippines and at Guam, the
larger part of the force not afloat
being stationed at the Cavite naval
station. This is the largest naval sta
ton reservation under the control of
the navy department, with a water
from: of Il miles, and the withdrawal
of the soldiers has made it necessary
TO maintain a large force of marines
to garrison the reservation and keep
down the insurgents, who are numer-
Gus in Cavite province.

BEGINNING OF THE END.
81. Louis street Car Co. ApprOach-
ing a Complete Resumption
of Business.

St. Louis, June Ito all appear
ances Yesterday witnessed the begin
ming of the end of the riotOUs DEM
onstrations and scenes of blOOdshed
that have characterized the great
street railway strike for over month
past, and, in many quarters it is
thought, of the strike itself. These
opinions are based upon statements
OF the chief of police and sheriff that
the critical stage has been passed, and
upon the fact that the st. Louis Tran
sit Co. is slowly but surely approach
ing a complete resumption of bust
ness with the aid of nOnuniOn men.
The inquest over the bodies of the
victims of Sundays riot began. The
testimony adduced was not of a char
acter calculated to base a decision as
to which side was to blame for begin
ming hostilities, the witnesses disa-
greeting on material points. Some
placed the blame on the posse men,
and others placed it on the strikers.
During the course of a heated argu-
ment over the strike Sherman c. Pat
terson, president of the local street
railway mems union. was stabbed in
the neck and fatally wounded late
last night. Patterson met a man
named Lewis Doelster in a saloon and
they became involved in a discussion
over the strike. They adjourned to
the sidewalk, where the argument
was resumed. Edward CAVITY, of East
St. Louis, joined in the conversation
and took decided stand against Pat
terson. The men finally resorted to
fisticuffs. CAVITY drew Il knife and
stabbed Patterson in the neck, perfo-
rating the jugular vein. CAVITY was
arrested.
At midnight a car on the Olive
street cable line at 21st street was
damaged by some sort of high explo-
siye placed on the track by strike
sympathizers. No one was injured.
A United States mail car was stoned
on the Baden line last night by
crowd. The windows of the car were
broken and several shots were fired
by persons in the crowd. No one hit

THE FILIPINos.
Gen. Otis Says That Ola and Young
Alike Are Anxious to Learn
From the Americans.

Washington, June 13.-During Gen.
Otis afternoon at the war depart
ment in conference with the heads of
the various departments in regard to
the condition and needs of their de-
partments in the Philippines, he had
many questions to answer in his in
tercOurse with his friends respecting
present and future conditions in the
Philippines, and of these he talked
quite freely. He made one statement
in particular which came as a dis
tinct surprise, in view of the fact
that he has spent a year and a half
in fighting the FilipinOs, for he de-
clared that those same Filipinos were
without question the very best of any
of the Asiatic races living on the Pa
cific coast and islands. He paid n
high tribute to their acquisitiveness,
saying that young and old were alike
anxious to learn from the Americans
and quick to do if given an Oppor-
tunity. The demand for schools on
the American plan was Unsuitable.
1t had not been possible to secure
a sufficient supply of Spanish-Amer-
lean text books, the market having
been denuded of such.
When the booB-hungry Filipinos
were told this, they begged for Amer
lean school books, and declared that
their children could learn from them
even without the Spanish text and
TRANSACTIONS. Gen. Otis found to his
establishment that such was the case,
and SAYS that in the course of a very
few months the Filipino children pick
up fair collection of English. Even
the old natives con the text books in
the effort to fix English phrases in
their minds. There was Il dearth of
teachers, too. Gen. Otis often had
recourse to the soldiers in his ranks
who know a little Spanish and so
were suitable for detail as teachers,
Gen. Otis said that he looked upon
this educational movement as the
only solution of the Filipino problem,
and was confident that the spread of
American ideas through the Filipino
schools would in the end make good
citizens of the FilipinOs.
Gen. Otis was positively of the opin-
ion that the American forces in the
Philippines at present were sufficient
for all needs. OF course, he said.
Gen. MacArthur's present army could
not furnish 4 guard to protect every
Filipino household from the La
drones; to do that would require a
force of no less than 100000 troops,
and even the task would occupy many
years. AS Il matter of fact, he said,
Spain had spent several centuries in
the effort to stamp out the LadrOnes
in the Philippine group, and there
was reason to believe that those
brigands are scarcely more numerous
now than they were during the Span
ish occupation, when the islands were
nOminaliy at peace with Spain.

The Brute.

A special dispatch from Coudersport
to the Philadelphia Times, dated last
Monday, says:
''Elam Coy returned to his home, at
Austin, last night intoxicated and chas-
ed his wife and children from the house.
The angry fellow followed his wife and
pulled baby from her arms, after a
desperate struggle, as she fled in the
direction of nearby creek. Coy lifted
the child far above his head to throw it
into the rocky bed of the stream, when
his son Charles, aged 15 years, who had
heard his mother scream, hurried upon
the scene He had in his hand heavy
iron garden hoe, and, to save his baby
brother from the death that awaited
him on the rocks, Charles struck his
father on the side of the head with the
hoe. Coy dropped in his tracks, the
baby falling from his hands unhurt.
The blow on Coy's head fractured his
skull. Physicians found a cash nearly
three inches long in the scalp. The
wounded man was removed to the hos.
pital. There is not much chance for
him to recover. The son has not yet
been arrested, nor will he be taken into
custody unless his father dies. Public
sympathy is with the boy. Mrs. Coy is
next to being crazed over the shock.n
Coy resided in Emporium many years
ago and was a hard case. The brute
should be lashed at whipping post.

Big Tannery Plant.

Tuesday morning, f. L. Andrews, of
Coudersport, and w. II. Jebb, of Rou-
lette, were in Austin and both gentle
men looked smiling and good natured,
we approached them with the "what's
the news? Mr. Jebb had no hesitancy
in informing us that he had Just decided
the location of big tannery at Hulls,
for the J. NJ. Jones Co., of Roulette.
Further inquiry brough out the facts
that company of Coudersport capital
( lists had purchased the Cochran, Payne
q Mccormick timber at this point, and
the }. M. Jones Co., were to have the
bark for tanning purposes. The tan
merry will be three times larger than the
one at Roulette, and careful estimates
places the amount of bark sufficient to
run the plant for twenty years. Since
the first of January Mr.. Jebb has trav-
eled over 5000 miles looking for favor
able location. The purchase of the
bark on this tract of timber makes Hulls
the ideal location of the whole country,
and certainly the little town is fortunate
in having virgin forest to back it up.
At present it is calculated to float the
logs to Barclay Bros. mill at Sinnama-
honing, or to Williamsport These
plans may change very materially,
when operations begin, as the timber
on this tract is some of the best that
ever stood in the state, and with the
facilities the Goodyears have for stock
ing their mills, it is more than probable
that these logs will eventually find their
way to Austin for manufacture. re.-Austin
