AT THE HEMP PORTS
Kobbe's Expedition to Samar
and Leyte.
ISLANDS ARE OPENED TO TRADE
Natives with Wooden Swords and BOwI
and Arrows Resisted-Led
by TRgal Rebels.

Manila, Feb. 7.-Brigadier-General
Kobbe's expedition in the islands OF
Luzon, Leyte and Samar has occupied
permanently and garrisoned nine towns
with the Forty third and Forty-seventh
regiments. This has placed on the
market l80, 900 bales of hemp.
A thousand insurgents armed with
rifles, and over 5000 armed with
wooden swords, bows and arrows, We're
encountered during the entire trip.
The troops killed rs natives, ii OF
whom had rifles. The others were viii
layers armed with wooden swords.
The American losses were one man
killed and nine wounded. The Ameri'
cans captured $4,000 in gold, the
enemy's money. and 40 muzzle-loading
brass cannon. At Calbayog, Samar,
the enemy evacuated the town, the
Americans chasing, fighting and scat
tering them to the mountains.
At Cabalogan, Lukban, the Tagal
general fired the place with kerosene
just before the Americans landed, and
then fought with cannon and rifles from
the hills encircling the town, for two
hours. When the Filipinos were
driven out, the Americans did their
best to save the town, fighting fire for
several hours. Thirty stone and 70
other houses, half the business portion
of the place, was consumed. The SOL
diers prevented the fire from spreading.
The next day Major Allen, with three
companies of the Forty-third regiment,
pursued Lukban to the mountain fast
nesses, and thence to the coast town,
where Lukban was heading, in hopes
of escape. Lukban, by taxing the ma
tives, has accumulated 100000 in
gold. His capture is probable.
At Tacloban, island of Leyte, the
enemy evacuated the town and the
Americans pursued them to the hills.
Several fleeing noncombatants were
killed, including three women. At
Palo, seven miles distant, the enemy
were found entrenched, and resisted.
Lieutenant johnson and IL scouts from
the Forty-third regiment drove out loo
of the enemy and captured the town.
The insurgents in these towns were
mostly Visayans, who had been inn
pressed into the service OF the Tagal
leaders from Luzon. The Visayans ap
pear Indifferent or suilenly antagonis-
tic to the American occupation. The
Tagal chiefs influenced them against
us, but when they perceive we are
much more powerful than the Tagals
and intend to maintain garrisons in or
der to open the islands to commerce, II
is believed the rebel party will lose Its
popularity. The Americans are gladly
accepted by the inhabitants, who are
daily returning to the towns. There
is a rush of commercial vessels from
Manila to these new ports.

Commercial Regulations Agreed Upon
steamer Line Contemplated.
San Francisco, Feb. &c. M. vi.
cuna, minister from Chile to Japan and
the United States, who has been several
weeks preparing a report to his gov
ernment on the successful negotiation
of an important commercial treaty be-
tween Chile and Japan, left for WASH
ington today. Minister Vicuna, in
speaking of the treaty, said that it en-
braced reciprocity features in addition
to the 'most favored nation" stipula-
tioa. Both nations make certain reser-
vations as to their relations with their
immediate neighboring nations. The
provisions of the treaty look forward
to the establishment of a steamer line
between Japan and Chile. On this
point the minister said;
"Chile, think, is going to find a
great market in Japan for nitrate OF
soda. Japan uses 500, 900 tons of fer
tilizers annually. Steamers from ia
pan can bring to Chile the paper, lant-
erns, silks and cottons, and they can
return with the fertilizer in question
as principal cargo.
Japan now gets her nitrate and
other things from Germany. The lat
ter obtains them from Chile. My
country goes to Europe for tea, paper
and silks. Japan and Chile should and
must trade directly with each other.
Japan is becoming great manufac-
turer of cheap cottons. My country
can consume large quantities of light
and cheap cottons."

cLAYToN-sULwER TREATY.
Not to Interfere with the Nicaragua
Canal.

Chnhis
Washington, Feb. THE United
States and Great Britain, it was def
nitely learned tonight, have reached
an amicable agreement respecting the
operations of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty as affecting the right OF con-
struction and control by the United
States of the proposed Nicaragua canal.
The result marks the termination OF
conferences between the officials of the
state department and Lord Pauncefote
of fully years duration, during
which number of meetings were held
and the subject fully discussed by the
representatives OF the governments in
terested.
Great Britain agrees to a modifica-
ton of the Clayton Bulwer treaty by
which she practically relinquishes any
claims respecting a legal control OF the
Nicaragua canal after it shall have
been constructed. The result, there
fore, is to eliminate that feature of the
treaty bearing on the subject of dual
control and to leave the United States
free to construct and thereafter control
this great inter-oceanic waterway.
In all the discussion which has been
had, both in congress and out of it, for
long number OF years, over the pro-
posed canal, the question of England's
rights under the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
has formed prominent feature, and
ON more than one occasion has given
rise to the question whether or not the
United States government had the
moral right to provide for the construc-
tion of the canal without modification
OF the treaty.
From the same authoritative quarter
it is ascertained that England has
made no demands for quid pro quo
for her abandonment of whatever rights
she may have had under the treaty,
and which she now premises to relin-
qush. Just what shape the agreement
between the governments interested is
to take is not named, though it is as
sumed that some forrssl instrument
will be drafted and sent to the senate
for its confirmation.

Two House Antis.

Washington, Feb. THE Democrats
continued their assaults upon the Phil
ippine policy of the administration dur
ing the general debate upon the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill
today. Two speeches were made by
Democratic members of the foreign
affairs committee, Dinsmore, of Arkan-
sas, and Champ Clark, of Missouri, OPP
posing the retention Of the islands.
The speech of Clark, which lasted al
most two hours, was notable effort,
replete with unique epigrams, and att
tracted much attention. No Republi.
can spoke in defense of the administra-
tion today.
Sibley, OF Pennsylvania, who was
elected as Democrat, but who made a
speech last week defending expansion,
was goaded today into the announce
ment that the Democrats could con.
slider his seat constructively on the Re-
publican side. Before the debate be-
gan, an effort was made to pass a bill
looking to the appointment of an ex-
pert commission to examine into the
question of the pollution OF the water
supply of cities, but it was defeated.
The Chicago members consider it was
aimed especially at the Chicago drain
age canal.

MR. CHOATE TALKS OF PEACE.
REMARKS OF THE AMBASSADOR AT THE
FISHMONGERS' BANQUET.

London. May 16.-Joseph H. Choate the
United States Ambassador. was the special guest
at dinner this evening of the Ancient Company
Of Fishmongers. The assemblage. which was
very distinguished, included the Chinese, Swiss
and Servian Ministers, Sir Thomas Henry San
derson Permanent Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs and other Foreign Office off,
cials; the Australian Federation delegates. the
Colonial Agents, the Earl of Cork, Lord Benbigh
and many members of the House OF Commons.
Early in his speech Mr.. Choate remarked:
FORGET your wars and internal commotions
and look quietly in the faces of the diplomatic
representatives of the world. who are bringing
you only messages of peace
The applause that greeted this apparent COM
monplace could only be appreciated by those
who knew that the principal topic of converse
ton had been the cordial reception of the Boer
delegates in New-York.
Later Mr. Choate. amid vociferous applause,
after humorously referring to the fact that
Americans knew London better than Londoners,
said:
From people who have such mutual interests
as these you do not need loud professions of
friendship. 1t would be hard, indeed to dis
solve such ties. We pursuing the same
ends, and actions speak louder than words.
He then went to refer to English aid in
the hour Of certain American calamties like the
Chicago fire, with their reflex American ala
in the day Of Irish famine. And last and not
least, he said 81 would refer to the shiploads
of food now leaving the United States for India"

The speech was one of the most successful
and humorous yet made by the United States
Ambassador. "a Boston wit once said" he OBJ
served that all good Americans went to Paris
when they died; but you take my word for
it that they all flock to London while they are
alive"
Mr.. Choate facetiously referred to the endless
disputes over the fisheries questions, remarking
that such matters although vehemently dis
cussed, would not make them enemies. He
rather took the audience by surprise when he
declared that in Westminster Hall and other
homes of oratory in England there have been
as many noble blows struck and as many preg-
nant words uttered behalf of the independ-
ence of America there have been for the in
tegrity OF the British Empire
All the members of the United States EN-
bassy were present. and Mr.. Choate's reception

MaJor-General Alfred Edward Turner in a
remarkable speech frankly admitted that Great
Britain was not able to support army ade-

we think"

TO FIGHT TOBACCO TRUST.
REPORTS OF THE ORGANIZATION OF
NEW COMPANY TO MANU-
FACTURE TOBACCO.

Rumors which have been current for some
weeks in tobacco circles of impending
solidation If independent interests became more
persistent than ever yesterday. 1t was asserted
with much confidence that the organization of
an Independent concern with large capital and
strong backing would be announced, and
that active war would be waged against the So
called Tobacco Trust.
One of the men interested in the proposed con-
solidation said yesterday: 1--WE have been look
ing the field over very carefully. and are con-
vinced that trust control the tobacco
manufacturing business 0f shis country. There
431 factories in the United States making
plug tobacco, and the trust $50 cailed) does not
control twenty five of them. 1t would bankrupt
a government to attempt it. From their own
figures their entire earnings last year were only
slightly over one-half the interest on the pre-
ferred stock. or 31a per cent, while the common
stock received nothing. The last year was the
best year for business in the history Of the
country. and If they could earn only one-half
the interest or the preferred stock under such
conditions, what is the common stock worth!
Many independent factories show such an in
crease of business during the same period that
they earned 30 to 80 per cent on their capital.
which would seem to prove my original propo-
sttiOn that the trade cannot be controlled We
all remember the fate of the Whiskey and Cord
age trusts.
