Washington, March 1.-Three
cable messages from Gen. Otis
were received at the war depart
ment today. One contained
long list of casualties among the
troops in the Philippines since
the last report. A Second an
nounced the arrival at Manila to-
day of Government transport
from the east coast of Tay abayas
Province with eight men and four
hundred and ten Spanish soldiers,
recently relieved from captivity
among III insurgents.
The third message stated that
since the recent opening of com
merce of the island ports $4,000
tons of hemp and 10000 bales of
tobacco had been received at Ma
Mia, and that large shipments of
the commodities named will soon
be made to the United States and
other countries.
The fact that Gen. Otis has not
reported any military operations
since the departure of Gen. Bates
expedition to Southern Luzon, to
complete the plan of opening the
hemp ports in that quarter, is &C
cepted by war department officials
as an indication that the cam
paigning is progressing satisfac
torially, and that our forces have
not met with any serious opposi-
iion by the insurgents in recent
movements. Secretary Root has
made a positive denial of the pub
lished report that he is worried
at the long silence of Gen. Otis in
regard TO the military operations
in the Philippines, and had ca.
hled him to make an immediate
report of the situation. The sec
retary SAID that, on the contrary,
he was perfectly satisfied with The
situation.
The officials are confident that
the backbone of the insurrection
is broken, and that there will
be no further hostilities on a
large scale, and that the affairs
in the archipelago will be in
fairly good shape by the time of
the arrival of the PHILIPPINE civil
commission, about the middle
of May, for the proposed trans
fer of government control from
the military to the civil author
ties.
Gen Otis is expected to return
to the United States on leave of
absence soon after the arrival of
the Philippine commission. 1t
is desirable that he should meet
the commission and give it the
benefit of his knowledge of af-
fairs in the Philippines.
Gen. Macarthur will assume
temporary command of the mil
itary forces in the islands when
Gen. Otis leaves.

COAL TRAINS CEASE RUNNING.
There were no coal trains run over the Penn

OF the LytIe and Pine Hill colleries being idle
The last shipment from those collieries was
eight hundred tons on Saturday This was two
hundred tons less than the usual daily ship
ments The stock of mined coal on hand at
those operations has now been removed to the
Philadelphia market
A meeting OF all miners from Pottsville and
vicinity is called for tomorrow night. The OBJ

OF the United Mine Workers Of America. 1t is
expected to swell the membership to three hun

in making the Pottsville branch permanent
organization. This is only one indication Of the
enthusiasm for the miners cause that has been
aroused in the Schuylkll region.

THE DEMANDS OF THE MINERS

Wilkesbarre, Penn, Oct. 1.-At the United
Mine Workers headquarters this statement was
given out:
What want is:
First-A better enforcement of existing mine
laws
Second-To obtain that which is fully our
own, i. e., the value of labor actually performed
and hitherto taken from us.
Third-To obtain the right to purchase our
implements of labor at a fair market value and
us to pay the operators more than twice what the
same materials be purchased for at retail
in the open market
Fourth-To allow readjustment of the wage
scale that will nearly conform to the normal con-
ditions of the anthracite trade, and establish as
nearly as practicable uniform price for each
class Of work in and around the mines.
The strikers say until these concessions are
granted and the union is recognized they will
not return to work
President Mitchell made the following state
ment to the miners Of the Wyoming Valley
To the Miners of Wilkesbarre and Vicinity:
look forward with pleasure to the great dem
onstration which will be given under the
auspices of the mine workers of the Wyoming
Valley Tuesday, October .. The mine work
of the anthracite region have by their law
abiding conduct won the respect and admra-
tion of all justice loving citizens of the United
States. l feel assured that organized labor has
a great victory, and that in the future there
a little more happiness and sunshine. instead of
the gloom and sadness too often finding a dwell
ing place there. JOHN MITCHELL,

stick 10. They recognize the fact that without
their organization they can do nothing. and
that if they give it up in allowing the operators
to ignore II, their strength will be gone.
President Nichols. of this district, after a
long conference with them to-day said:
There has been no proposition for a settlement
made to the United Mine Workers yet, and
there will be settlement until convention
composed of delegates from the United Mine
Workers Union meets and decides that the men
shall go back to work. Ali reports Of other
kinds of settlement are false. If proposition is
made to by the operators to justify in
calling convention then President Mitchell will
order the election of delegates by the various
local branches. and they will meet and decide
what action to take The will not return to
work until ordered. 1t must first be assured
that the concessions made shall not be with
drawn after time. and this must be done by an
agreement of the operators to recognize the
union. If they persist in their course of ignor-
ing the union, the strike will continue.
This is a different sentiment from Mr.
MitchelPs and Mr.. Nichols is upheld by his
men, who declare they would sooner return TO
work with just recognition granted, than with
20 per cent increase but do not see why they
should not have both.

MITCHELL MAKES A CONCESSION.
SAYS HE DOES NOT INSIST ON UNION
BEING RECOGNIZED.

Scranton, Penn, Oct. 1 (SpeciaD.-The popu-
lar expectation that the Reading Company's an
nouncement of a 10 per cent increase would
prevail upon the strikers to resume work was
not realized to-day. President Mitchell was
gratified with the action Of his men and ex-
pressed himself as follows:
can say positively that this strike is no
nearer settlement this morning than it was a
week ago. The United Mine Workers have no
official knowledge of any offer of 10 per cent
raise or any conditions, the strike be
settled except by a general delegate meeting of
all the miners in the anthracite region. We do
not insist upon recognition of the union, though
Of course, we would be glad to have it. If we
are not recognized We will be at some future
time. We are willing to bide time on that
proposition.
The strikers, from Hazleton as a starting
place. marched to Lattimer, Jeddo, Cranberry
and other towns near by. At Lattimer the
strikers We're met by Sheriff Harvey, with a
force of one hundred deputies, and commanded
to stop. The leaders replied that they were un-
armed and demanded the right of way, where
upon the Sheriff stepped aside and the marching
was resumed.
