RELIEF FOR THE sTARvINd.
The Belief ship Quito Ready tn Sail foI
India with Her Cargo
of Corn.

New York, May 1O.-A number OF
members of the committe of 100.
named by the chamber of commerce
TO assist in relieving the famine suf'
ferers in India, met yesterday and per
fected permanent organization by Sc
lecting these officers: Chairman, VIM.
E. Dodge; treasurer, John Crosby
Brown; secretary, f. r. L. Gould.
After the business session, Chairman
Dodge introduced Bishop Potter, who
said that he had recently visited India,
hut had not visited the districts where
the suffering is the greatest. He said,
however, that he had been in north.
west India, where the destitution was
evident from the emaciated condition
of arrivals from the affected districts.
He had, he added, seen many bodies
floating down the Ganges from the
famine district.
Rev. Justin E. Abbott, of the Ameri-
can Board of Foreign Missions, il
Roston, but recently from Bombay.
said that he had been through the
famine country three years ago. He
described the conditions there then.
He did not think it necessary to send
grain to the affected districts. Money
is what was wanted. There was
plenty of grain in the country, he said,
but the great masses of the people had
no money with which to buy it.
Rossiter johnson, interrupted to ask
why the government should not seize
the grain and arrange for the payment
of it afterward. In answer DIR. Abbott
said such a course would result in
general decentralization.
The India famine relief ship Quito,
specially chartered by the United
States government to convey to Bonn
lay, India, the cargo of American corn
contributed by sympathizers of all de-
nominations, will sail to-day. Before
she sails number of addresses will be
made by well-known speakers and. in
the words of the programme, there will
follow IAN invocation of the divine
blessing upon the grain, Immediately
after which the Quito will depart on
her errand of mercy"

Under Consideration by the Senate
Committee on Intcr-Oceanic
Canals.

Washington, May 10.-The sub-com-
mittee of the senate committee on in
ter-Oceauic canals met yesterday, but,
it is understood, accomplished nothing
tangible. The Hepburn bill, which
passed the house last week, was under
discussion throughout the meeting.
hut no vote was taken upon it. The
majority of those present, it is un-
derstood, believed that the measure
could not be passed by the senate at
this session, without delaying adjourn
ment beyond the limits desired by the
leaders of both branches OF congress.
The committee, however, will proceed
with the consideration of the measure.
and will hear Admiral Walker and
other members of the isthmian cone
mittee next Friday.

THE SITUATION IN MANILA.
Rumors of An Insurrection an VIA.
nIla Not Taken Seriously Cow
GEN. MacArthur's Policy.

Manila, May 1.-THE latest rumoE
Of an outbreak IN Manila among the
natives, which was in circulation last
week, was seriously discussed by some
OF the local papers, and attracted more
general attention than has usually
been the case with this sort of thing.
AS a matter of fact many FiEpinos did
leave their American employers with
the apparent intention of joining Some
such movement. Their action, taken
in connection with the arrest of sew
eral natives for carrying concealed
weapons, and the dispersion of severa.
suspicious gatherings, gave color tc
the reports.
The officials have been active in the
matter. but are not inclined to think
an uprising will be attempted. They
believe the Filipinos lacking in the acc
essary courage, and especially in sfew
of the fact that tie natives feared to
attempt the demonstration at the time
of Gen. Lawton's funeral, although
they had made careful preparations.
and many insurgents had come to Ma
Mia for this express purpose.
A paper found among the captured
effects of Gen. Pantaleon Garcia os-
serts that the United States congress
has done nothing fer the Filipinos, and
that, therefore, all Filipinos who are
working for Americans must leave
their employers Immediately or suffer
the penalty of treason.
One report is that the Filipino jun.
Ia is endeavoring 10 incite an outbreak
in order to show the civil commission
that the insurrection is still alive.
1t does not seem probable that the
peace proposals which Senior Buen-
camino, at one time a member of the
so-called Filipino government, has
drawn up for submission to Aguinaldo
and the other insurgent leaders, will
have much weight with the Filipinos.
Bue5 camino's reputation, gained in
former wars, is that of a man who hur-
ries to get on the winning side. He
was in disfavor with the Filipinos even
before the collapse of their govern
ment, owing to ii widespread suspicion
of disioyalty to his colleagues.
Last week Gen. Macarthur received
large number of officials, consuIs AID
representatives of commercial bodies.
To Lieut.-Col. Crowder, his military
secretary, he will assign many duties
heretofore devolving upon the adJutant
general. This step is taken i'll view of
the increasing independence of the
