MACARTHUR INTERVIEWED.

PaciAed Before Long.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-The Record-H Herald
will print tomorrow the following state
ment obtained from General Macarthur
by an interviewer in San Francisco: "War
has wrecked the Philippines and laid waste
whole districts. The people in many dis
tricts have relapsed into barbarism. The
best conditions prevail in northern Luzon.
You may say that the whole territory is
racified but not tranquilized, but 1t will
not be many months before law and order
are observed everywhere. While the con-
ditions are not perfect, they are gatifying
A few groups of armed insurgents are
still at large, but they will soon surren-
der, as their power is. broken and they
are not being aided by the natives. These
natives have come to see that surrender
does not mean death. and they coming
in every week with their rifles. Through

dom of movement. Still large criminal
class there commits depredations on Amer
leans and natives, though the latter suffer
the most severely. The natives are eager
ly seeking the establishment Of civil gov
ernment that they may root out these
son to believe that the whole country will
soon be perfectly safe for travellers.
'At present there is some trouble in
Samar. but General Hughes, with a large
effective force, has gone after them and
will soon bring the insurgents to their
senses. That is the worst place, but IL is
not interfering with the coast business.
In Cebu and Bchul and Ocandi, in south
ern Luzon, there is a slight outbreak, but
it is caused by the criminal element The
civil commission had put in force some
excellent ideas for the municipal govern
ment for the city of Manila when 1 left.
The city is in excellent condition. espe-
cially In case of sanitary departments and
its growth in business has been enormous.

KRUGER NOT GRATEFUL
SAYS HE HAS NO CONFIDENCE IN
GREAT BRITAIN's PROMISES,
And that Beers Are Not Frightened
at kitchener's Proclamation and
Chamberlain's Speeches.

LONDON. Aug 1s-The Freemans
Journal. of Dublin, publishes an interview
between Mr.. Kruger and William Red
mond in Hlversom, Holland, in which the
former President of the South African re-
public. expressing gratitude for Irish sup
port, said he regarded the Irish as broth
ers in oppression" and urged the National
st members of the British Parliament to
continue their efforts in the cause of JUS
tice and truth
When asked concerning the effect of Lord
Kitchener's recent proclamation and of
Mr.. Chamberlains speeches, Mr.. Kruger
replied: My people are not to be fright
ened by such proclamations or speeches
which will only encourage them to continue
fighting. The British have used armed ma
tives against the burghers from the begin
ming. but We have not used armed Kaffirs.
1t has always been against our principles
to use the black men against the white"
Mr.. Kruger emphaticaly denied the ex-
istence of Dutch conspiracy against Brit
ish influence in South Africa.
When asked regarding Great Britain's 3
promises as to the treatment of the Beers
after surrender. he said: 'T know Great
Britain's promises. You in Ireland ought
also to know them. The British promise To
lend us money to put things right Then IL
il were not repaid, our land would be taken.
They ask US TO allow a rope to be put
around our necks and to call that freedom
We should be slaves
After expressing his firm conviction that
God. in good time. would give the Beers
deliverance. he remarked: Even now we
could rebuild our country, but to do so we
must have full independence" He empha-
sized the word full.
When asked about farm burning and the
concentration camps. he exclaimed: why
do they night women and children? There

Meeting of south Chicngoans.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 1S.-There is talk to-
night of the possibility of an extension OF
the strike to other trades The structural
iron workers and brickiayers are becoming
directly interested through the question of
handling material made by the United
States Steel Corporation. The strike lead
ers say they have the absolute promise OF
support from those two trades. and that
they will refuse TO handle nonunion-made
material They cite a number Of instances
where the structural men and brick masons
have shown their sympathy and spirit.
Opinion is divided here as to the ultimate
action of the Chicago men. Assistant Sec
retary NJ. F. Tighe is generally understood
TO be working among the Chicago men to-
day and some confidence is expressed in
his ability 10 bring them over. Some of the
strike leaders are credited with Saying That
they care more about the moral effect OF
getting the strikers out than they do about
the impairment of the mills there. Mr..
Tighe is expected here tomorrow.
Ben 1. Davis. member of the advisory
board OF the Amalgamated Association.
discussed the situation freely to-day. he
said: THE idea that because we are not
striking for more wages the sympathy OF
the people is with is a mistaken
one. The workingmen Of America realize
the full meaning of our struggle for prin-
ciple, for which the forefathers OF this
country fought Ii is the right guaranteed
by the Constitution OF the country. Ii Is
equally right for the trust TO organize and
maintain prices. They say they do not
object to our organization. but In the same
breath tell men in nonunion mills tha: if
they belong TO our organization they will
lose their places. 1t is this fundamental
principle that has brought out the thou
sands of workingmen in McKeesport. 1t il
this principle that is bringing TO our sup
port every true American workingman in
the country. 1t is Of the greatest bat
ties for organization that has ever been
fought There is but one end TO such a
battle, with the men so determined as our
men are The coming out Of thousands OF
men i'm McKeesport is only sample OF
what will occur In all other sections. There
is absolutely no truth in the reports that
there is dissatisfaction among the idle men
in McKeesport. They are standing solidly
and will not return 10 work under any
agreement short OF recognition by the
trust that the Amalgamated Association
has a right to organize it's mill workers
without interference from the officers OF
the companies. The situation to-day is per-
fectly satisfactory 10 the organization. 1t
will be learned soon that our organization
has wonderfully recuperative powers and
will revive. no matter how hard the blow
dealt 10 H."

MANILA, Aug. 1S.-Both the civil and

and about $50 miles northeast of Quito.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-Captain Perry,
of the battleship Iowa. now at San Fran

partment an acknowledgement Of his in

There was a dearth of other news to-
day bearing the Colombian-Venezuela
trouble. Secretary Hay received no dis
patches bearing upon the subject. The
Colombian and Venezuelan legations were
similarly without advices. The most in
teresting development was the news con-
tanned in press dispatch from Quito that
Ecuadoran troops were ready to invade
near Paste. Mr.. Silva, the Colombian
minister, while without advices from his
government. expressed the belief that this
expedition n part of the revolutionary
movement and that il was in no sense or

He said that many years ago there had
been friction between the two govern

al had haap -oic

ceipt of a letter from Emiliano Izaza, the
Colombian minister at Quito, referring 10
the cordial treatment he had received from
the Ecuador government and the cour-
tesies generally extended him in his jour
rey through that country. Minister Silva
consequently is of opinion that the new
movement is in connection with the in
ternal revolution in Colombia, unless some
thing unforeseen has occurred. He has
not been advised.
Many Colombian revolutionists have ac-
