THEIR SOLE HOPE.
Gen.schwnn Says Filipinos Rely Upon
the Rainy Season for Revival
of the Insurrection.

Washington, May 24.-The war de-
partment has received an interesting
report from Brig. Gen. Theodore
Schwan, U. S. ". dated on the trans
port Thomas at sea. May 12, 1000, in
which he submits thorough review
of the state of affairs in the Philip
pines UP to the time of his departure
from Manila April 16 last, making
particular reference to what he be-
lieves to be the irretrievable collapse
of the Fipinino instruction as a
whole, and expressing the conviction
that, if left alone, the Filipinos would
soon demonstrate their absolute in
ability to govern themselves. He
says:
''The principal islands are now as never
before. held with an iron grip by the mil
itary. In Luzon all the interior, as we'll
as all the coast towns of Importance. are
occupied by American troops.
THE sole hope entertained by the in
surgents for a revival of the Instruction
lies in the supposition that the United
States troops will be obliged to abandon
many of their present positions at the
opening of the wet season, owing to in
ability to secure supplies during that pc
riod.
with the exception of the savage noun
tain tribes and the numerous bands of
brigands the great majority of both the ed
ucated and peasant classes in the Philip
pines heartily desire restoration of peace
and order under American rule.
The operations of troops and the paci-
fication of the towns not yet subdued will
be carried on regardless of the rainy sea-
son.
The most serious obstacle in the way of
the complete pacification of the islands now
lies in the mutual distrust between the
troops and the inhabitants. This, 1 be-
lieve, will disappear after each class
becomes more thoroughly acquainted with
the other and the benefits to be derived
from an intimate relationship with the mil
itary become appreciated by the natives.
On the other hand, the work cut out for

HAS NOT SUED FOR PEACE.
No Truth in the Report That Kruger
Had Proposed Terms to
End the War.

London, May 22.-There is no truth
in the report that President Kruger
has sued for peace and no commune
cation from him on the subject is ex-
pected in the immediate future.
The official confirmation of the re-
lief of Mafeking does away with the
lingering doubts which existed in the
minds of few people who have got
into the habit of believing nothing but
war office dispatches. With belated
enthusiasm that department hoisted
its flag on the receipt of the telegram
and the crowd cheered.

London, May 24.-Lord Roberts with
the main portion of the British army
is once more advancing toward Pre-
toria, where the Beers are preparing

patches make it clear that the Vaal

British troops.
London, May 25.-Floods in the
Rhenoster river blocked the progress
of the British army; Roberts front is
80 miles in length; the Beers hide their
plans for the future, but President
Kruger has issued a proclamation say
ing he will defend johannesburg and
calling upon all the Beers to fight to
the bitter end.

Work of the Chicago city directory
enumerator for 1900 shows the popu-

O01 900. The directory estimate is SO

June IS, will probably show higher
figure than this by some 10000. The
increase in population between 1890
and 1900 has been practically 100000,
a total not surpassed by any city in
the country, except New York, and
her extraordinary gains were made
through annexation of neighboring

To-day the south produces on an
average of 10000, 900 to IL 600, 900 bales
of cotton, representing, including the
cotton-seed, a valuation of from $780,
100000 to 0O,0OO0O0. This enormous
crop is produced on 5 per cent. of the
total area of the cotton region. Of
the entire cotton-growing territory

new land added to the cotton-growing
area and with more scientific culti-
walton, to increase our cotton pro-
