Admiral Remey Cables Washington That
the Troublesome Insurgents, from Iba
to Morong, Have Surrendered.

Washington, April 6.-The navy de.
partment Friday received the follow
ing cablegram from Admiral Remey
at Cavite: "Goodrell, at Olongapo on
the 4th, concluded surrender of in
surgents in country from Iba to
Morong."
The territory referred to in Admiral
Remey's dispatch is stretch of land
so miles long from Morong. just be-
low Subig bay, to Iba, point nearly
40 miles up the coast in Zambeles
province, portion of country which
has caused no end of trouble to the
American forces. Gen. Greely said
Friday that the signal corps had at
least dozen sharp fights in this vi
cinity while endeavoring to maintain
open telegraphic communication with
Manila. The insurgents finally be-
came so aggressive that Gen. Greely
decided to have cable laid from Olon-
gapo, in Subig bay, which is the site
selected for the new naval station in
the Philippines, to connect with Ma
Mia, on account of the difficulty in
maintaining telegraphic communica-
ton overland. The laying of the ca
BILE is now in progress. The news that
this troublesome portion of Luzon has
been pacified is hailed with satisfac-
ton by war department officials.

NEW BUTTER PREsERvATIvE.
Danish Dairyman Has Discovery Which
May Create Revolution In the Ship
ping of Perishable Products.

Copenhagen, April GA Danish but
ter-maker has discovered new pre-
servative which excels everything in
that line heretofore known. By means
of this preparation it is possible to
preserve butter, meats and all kinds
of perishable merchandise. Expert
ments show that butter can be pre-
served, melted and cooled off again
without losing any of its freshness.
1t can also be placed among goods
that are decomposing or contain rank
odors without being affected. The
preparation is not injurious from
sanitary point of view and will, it is
believed, create a revolution in the
shipping of perishable merchandise.
