FILIpINos sURRENDERING.
Jpa. Macarthur Reports That Bands OF
Il. D-i- Are Coming in with Their
X he.-Gen. CO.. bin's Report

Washington. May 29.-The war de-
rartment has received the following
from Gen. Macarthur, at Manila,
dated Monday Three officers and IS
men with IS rifles surrendered uncon-
diiionally at Cuyapo yesterday. Three
officers and i6 men with 81 rifles sur
rendered Internationally at Tarlac.
These spontaneous surrenders are very
encouraging"
Gen. Corbin said that Gen. Mac.
Arthur's dispatch shows that the sit
uation in the Philippines is impsOv-
ing. The present policy of the army,
he said, is to disarm and not to kill
the Filipino insurgents and that OBJ
iect is being facilitated by the action
of the Filipino captains in getting
theiI>mcn together and surrendering
in body. In such.cases the men get
receipts for their arms and ammuni-
ton. There is no longer any organ
lied resistance, he says, and the only
trouble comes from bands Of guerril-
las who swoop down on the unpro-
tected natives, steal all they can lay
their hands on and run off with their
booty before the troops can reach
them. These marauders receive no
mercy from the troops and are shot
down whenever caught looting their
terrorized countrymen. Every effort
is making to disarm these bands and
to get control of all the arms and
in the islands as an essen
tial preliminary to the establishment
of civil government"

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.


Chicago, May 29.-With three bust
ness sessions yesterday the quadren-
NAL conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, which for a month past
has been sitting here considering
great questions affecting the welfare
OF that denomination, practically came
to close. The actual adjournment
does not take place until to-day, but
to-day's session was expected to be
but little more than a formality and
many of the delegates left for their
homes last night. Much important
business was transacted yesterday, in
GLIDING the settlement of two of the
most interesting questions brought
before the conference.-the reports of
the committee on temperance and the
committee on the state of the church
in regard to the ban on card-playing,
theater-going, dancing and other
amusements. A strong political color
was given the discussion on the tenn
perance question by the bitter ar
raignment of President Mckinley be-
cause of his attitude Oh the anti-can-
teen law, but after some decidedly
warm debate the conference refused
to criticise the attitude of the chief
magistrate by striking out by an over
whelming vote all reference to any
action on his part or that of Attorney
General Griggs. The minority report
on amusements, accepted Saturday,
was, to the surprise of many, laid on
the table, which action leaves the
paragraph in the book of discipline ex-
actly as it was before the question was
considered.
The afternoon and night sessions
were devoted to hearing reports from
committees on business heretofore
crowded out.

The SUMS ECLIPSE.

Cured very close to schedule time and
that the programme arranged was
carried out without a hitch. Three
parties were sent out from the OBJ
servatory, viz: one to pinehurst, n.

ner; one to GAINESVILLE, Ga. in charge
OF Prof. Milton updegratf, and one
to Griffin, Ga, in charge of Prof. Slim
son ]. Brown.
In Washington the weather was
slightly cloudy, which somewhat
marred the opportunities for getting
satisfactory observation of the
eclipse. The eclipse arrived just
few seconds ahead of schedule time,
but the irreguarity was so slight
that an ordinary observer could not
have discerned it. The trained star
gazers claim that the contact came
from five to eight seconds before Il
was due, but the difficulty of telling
just when the actual contact began
was so great because of cloud which
passed that even they cannot quite
agree among themselves. They do
agree, however, that ii was one of
the most remarkable predictions in
the history of astronomy, it being
doubtful if ever before the time of the
arrival of an eclipse was so accurately
announced in advance.
Unofficial reports which have
reached Washington Indicate that the
eclipse was visible to greater or
less degree in its entire path of to-
tally. Particularly fortunate were
the observers in the southern section
OF the country where the weather
seemed to be unusually favorable for
securing the Photographic data which

PLAGUE SITUATION.
Il Assumes a New Phase at San
Francisco.
COURT RULES AGAINST INCUBATION.
The Health Officia Discuss the Advisable
ity Of Quarant,ning the Chinese sec.
tion Of the City-A surprise to
Chinatown.

San Francisco, May 29.-The plague
situation assumed a new phase last
night which will probably result in
the quarantining of the Chinese sec
ton of the city. The quarantining OF
Chinatown was not called for by any
unfavorable developments. but it was
due to the necessity of providing for
the better control of the situation in
view of the fact that the United
States circuit court yesterday issued
an order restraining the local board
of health and DR.. Kinyoun, the United
States surgeon from inoculating Chi
nese and japanese. When the decis-
ion of the court was rendered. Sur
geon Kinyoun called off his inspection
and notified Surgeon General Wyman
of the courts action. The state board
then took the matter in hand. At a
meeting of that body resolution
was passed instructing the local
board of health to place an effective
quarantine around Chinatown. At the
meeting of the state board represent
alive merchants of the city were pres
ent and they announced that they
would render every assistance to the
city officials. DR.. Blunt, state health
officer of Texas, who was also pres
ent, favored quarantining the Chinese
quarter and stated that if such action
was taken he would modify the quar-
antine against California now existing
in Texas and allow goods and persons
to enter the state if they carried ii
certificate of health.
The quarantining of Chinatown will
be great surprise to its residents,
who were preparing to resume bust
ness on the strength of Judge Morroe's
decision.
The local board of health does not
expect federal interference in the mat
ter of forcing quarantine, as they
regard it as purely municipal af-
fair.
