GOVERNMENT In LUzON
FORM FOR THAT PROPOSED TO BE
PUT IN EFFECT.

CAGAYAN, Mindanao, P l., April T.
In response to interrogatories from Mr..
Elihu Root. United States secretary OF
war, the Philippine commission has pre-
pared recommendations as to the form
of general civil government to be es-
tablished for the Philippines, July l. and
to continue until congress shall have Or
ganized a permanent government for the
archipelago.
This temporary civil government is ex-
pected to consist Of a governor, cabinet
and a legislative council, and it is be-
lieved that the members of the present
commission will act as the principal ad-
visers of Gov. Gen. Taft, although there
will probably be a few Filipinos in the
council. The members of the provincial
legislature will all be appointed.
The commission will reach Manila May
1, after having established provisional
governments in all the large provinces
except Sander and Mindanao. AS soon
as routine business has been disposed OF,
the commission will proceed to the or
ganization Of every remaining province
in the island Of Luzon, and will also deal
with the matter of civil government for
Manila.
Conferences last week with many
Moros, Mindanao tribesmen and others
confirmed the members of the commits
sion in their intention not to substitute
provincial for departmental government
in Mindanao and the Sulu group except
by the organization Of the province Of
Northern Mindanao. Judge Taft says
the matter Of abolishing slavery can and
will be handled deliberately and tact
fully, but that no legislation affecting
polygamy among the savages is prob

key to the handouts. Sergeant Dempsey
missed the key as soon as they reached
the waiting room, and, leaving the pris-

returned to the car to search for it.
With Deputy Moore sitting directly in
front of them, Tiller fumbled with the
handouts as if they were chaf1ng his
wrists and succeeded in springing the

sprang upon Deputy Moore, and pinion-

that Moore was a crazy man, and tod
them not to pay any attention to his
rawlings. In response to the demands of
the deputy some of the by-standers in
terfered. Moore left Grant in their
charge and gave chase after Tiller.
When Deputy Moore returned to the sta

by-standers that he had gone away. The
police started on his trail, but lost trace
of him a few blocks from the depot Til
ler was taken to Cincinnati tonight. Up
to late hour the police had not suc-

HAS THEM GUESSING.
PerpIexing Dispatch Received in
Washington From Pel1in.

WASHINGTON, April THE admin
istration is perplexed over a cable dis
patch received yesterday from Mr.
Squiers, now in charge of the Ameri-
can legation in PeEin. This dispatch, ac-
cording to a publication today said that
the Russian minister refuses to receive
official communications from Chinese
commissioners, which carried the infer
ence that diplomatic relations between
the two countries interested would be
broken off. The officials are very
reticent about the matter, and decline to
affirm or deny whether it is correctly
stated. They will go only so far as to
admit the receipt of a dispatch whose
purport was not clearly understood, for
which reason it was rot given to the
press for publication.
Another cablegram, which reached here
today from Mr.. ROckhill, the special COM
missioner of the United States engaged
in conducting the peace negotiations
made no reference to the alleged refusal
of the Russians to receive official COM
municatiOns from the Chinese commits
sioners. AS Mr.. Rockhill is in a position
to know promptly what develops between
the ministers and the peace commission
ers it is believed he would be prompt
to report step of such far-reaching i'm
portance as the published dispatch from
Mr.. SquicrS would indicate.
OFFICIALS HEAR NOTHING.
At the Russian embassy no informa-
tion on the subjects was obtainable to-
night. It was said there that no com
munications had come from the foreign
Office at st. Petersburg since the Rus
sian note of several days since which
declared that governments intention re-
gardinG Manchuria, copy of which was
handed to Secretary Hay. The impress
sion of the officials at the embassy. was
that no special significance attached to
the Squiers dispatch. According to them
it simply meant that the Russians had
discontinued further negotiations at this
time on the Manchurian question alone.
which for the time is held in allegiance
This is in accord with the spirit of the
oihclal publications of the government
on this matter, which asserted that re-
naming faithful to It's original and Oft
repeated political programme regarding
Manchuria it will quietly await the fur
ther course of events.
Absolutely no concern was felt at the
embassy Oh the subject, the officials ap-
parently being perfectly satisfied that the
communications referred to relate entire
ly to the Manchurian question. In other
diplomatic circles the report failed to
receive credence on the general theory
that the interests of the Russian govern
ment in China were too great and far
reaching to permit the severance Of dip
lomatic relations at this time when SUBJ
stantial unity on many of the matters
Oh negotiations were SO promising.

PEKIN, April 7.-Mr. Rockhnl, United
States special commissioner to Pekin,
had a long interview yesterday with
Ii Hung Chang, who satisfied him that
there is not likely to be any further i'm
portant hitch in the negotiations for
settlement between China and the
powers. China has agreed to the list OF
punishments submitted by the ministers
of the powers asking only one conces>
sion, namely, deprivation of office instead
of Punishment in the case of a man who
is seventy years of age. To this the min
listers have agreed. Ii Hung Chang says
the court is extremely anxious to return
to Pel1in as soon as the foreign troops
evacuate the capital.
Some of the ministers of the powers
begin to think that so large force as
2,0O0 troops acting as legation guards IN
the city proper would be a great mis-
take. Such a body would have to re-
main i'll a space of one square mile. The
troops could not be allowed outside the
legation quarter armed, and it would
probably not be safe for them to go un>
armed
1t is thought by some of the ministers
that if the encampment was made from
ten to fifteen miles away with the new
stores, this arrangement would be more
preferable as a telegram could bring
the troops into the city immediately.
Moreover several ministers have been
iusulted by troops of other nationalittes.
