AN INSULT RESENTED.
Glass of Wine Thrown I'm "A Cana
dian's Face by an American.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. H-Special cor
respondence of the Post Intelligencer from
Dawson City tells of an international dis
turbance which arose there at a Christmas
dinner. Maj. Z. c. Wood, commander Of
the Yukon mounted police gave a banquet
to which were invited a number of the
most prominent government officials in
Dawson City. The only American there
was E. A. Mizner: resident manager of the
Alaska Commercial Company. Everything
went smoothly until it came to Sheriff FIJI
beck's turn to respond to a toast TO. THE
Government Officials The sheriff spoke
disparagingly of the Americans living in
the country and his speech reached a cli-
max when he said that 1T is to be re-
gretted that all the Americans of the
Yukon country are Of the 'Soapy Smith
kind" Mizner at once jumped TO his feet
with the words, "Am TO be insulted?" and
threw his glass OF wine in the sheriff S face.
He then walked out of the banquet hall.
The others in the party made every effort
to reconcile the men, and the sheriff, realiz-
ing his error, made an elaborate apology.
Major Wood is doing everything in his
power to effect a reconciliation.

RELIGIOUS TEACHING.
Ii Is Desired I'm Public Schools by n
Majority If the Filipinos.

MANILA, Jan. H.-Representatives of the
Central Catholica, at a meeting here. spoke
on the subject of religion in the public
schools and urged the adoption of amend
ments providing for the employment exclu-
sively of native and Catholic teachers and
for permitting religious teaching in the
schools. They argued that native teachers
could achieve better results than Ameri-
cans and that the public schools would be
far more successful if the prevailing re-
ligious customs were not disturbed In or
der to avoid a long response from their
opponents on the question of religious
teaching in the schools. Judge Taft an
nounced that the commission. under its
instructions. could not possibly adopt the
amendments suggested by the Central
Catholica.
The commissioners are unanimous in the
belief that a great majority of the Filipinos
desire religious teaching In the schools.
They hold that the purpose of the bill for
public education would be partially de-
feated unless the children of Catholics
are permitted to attend the public schools.

arena of wholly new and evidently i'm
portant factor is made tonight by VIII
Watkins, owner of the Indianapolis club
which was last year a member of the
American League, who Is at the Abbott

such grounds owned by the League and

GEN. MACARTHUR GRATIFIED
OTHER IMPORTANT SyRRENDERS
EXPECTED IN A FEW DAYS.
Many Insurgent Camps Destroyed
Natives in Favor OF Religious
Tcaching I'm Public Schools.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-General Mac
Arthur reports the surrender of Delgado,
commander-in-chief of Iloilo province,
Panay. He also reports that other i'm
portant surrenders are expected during the
next few days. The cablegram follows:
'Delgado, commander-in-chief of Iloilo
province, Panay. surrendered Jan. III to
Brig Gen. Robert P. Hughes with four
officers, twentyone men and fourteen
rifles. His command much scattered. Other
surrenders expected during the next few
days: important: signifies the end OF or
ganized armed resistance in Il0ilO province,
Panay."
The dispatch gave much satisfaction to
the War Department, although the COM
mand surrendered by Delgado is not a
large one. 1t also was noted by the off,
cials that the assurances were for the end
of organized armed resistance" indicat-
ing that there was considerable of the un-
organized marauding still in progress.
Secretary Root said to-day that all the
Filipino insurgent leaders deported to
Guam would be placed in the custody of
the naval forces in control of that island.
who would be responsible for their control
and safe keeping. He said he had no idea
of the number of such prisoners. but did
not believe it was large enough to necessi-
guard or other duty in connection with
their captivity.
MANILA, JAN H-Optimism is taking
the place of conservatism among the mill
tary men here the cause being the numer-
Gus surrenders, captures and destruction
of insurgent camps, coupled with the in
creasing understanding of the Americans
intentions among the natives, the propaga-
tion of the principles of the Federal party
and the knowledge that they are approved
by the United States Philippine commits
sion and the military authorities. and that
the carrying out of the terms of General
MacArthurs proclamation CHASING all who
do things inimical to the interests of. the
army as rebels and traitors are having
pointed effect with the Offering of local
autonomy and protection and showing the
certainty of the punishment Of those who
remain rebellious.
The cutting of communications and sup
plies has destroyed the remnants of the
insurgents organiza ton. The inhabitants
of the towns are disinclined to any longer
contribute secretly to hopeless cause. and
it is generally believed that The pacification
of a sufficient number of provinces to in
augurate a general scheme of provincial
government will be accomplished before
many more weeks have elapsed. The most
pronounced resistance at present is in re-
mote southern Luzon, northern Mindanao,
Cebu and Bohol.

ents who have been ordered tc be deported
