Separate Province-Major johnson

RodBLoN, Island of Romblon, March
17-(Ry mail from Beach, Island of
Marinduque, March l8.)-The question
of attaching this island of Martinique
to the province of Tayabas, discussed by
the American Philippine commission
during their arrival here, was decided
in the negative. The sentiment of the
people was wholly in favor of forming
a separate province. A population of
10000 W2s represented during the dis
cusslon and the commission has met III
telligent representatives from all the
towns. There are 300 insurgents still
in the mountains of MarinduQue, but
otherwise the inhabitants are anxious
for the pacification of the island and to
accept American sovereignty. Judge
Taft has announced Captain Bandholtz
to be chairman of the various commit
tees of natives formed to organize mu-
nicipal law in the town of Martinique.
Judge Taft has promised that the COM
mission will return and organize the
province of Martinique
Major Smith, commanding the Amer
lean garrisons on this island, has issued
al order requiring all natives to live III
the five principal towns where Ameri-
can troops are stationed. Those natives
who continue TO live in the country will
be considered insurgents.
A few insurgents have recently been
killed or wounded near these towns and
their supplies have been destroyed.
The inhabitants of this island favor
a drastric policy toward the insurgents.
The American Philippines commission
will soon prepare a communication to
President Mckinley on the character of
the civil government to be established
in the archipelago. The matter has yet
received only informal consideration.
This port will be the capital of the
newly formed province, composed of ad-
jacent islands. 1t is situated at the
mouth of a deep valley and has a splen-
did harbor. The people are thrifty and
prosperous and there are no insurgents
here.
Major Evan M. Johnson, Jr., of the
Twenty ninth volunteer infantry, will
be governor and Captain Albert S. Will
iams of the same regiment will be treas
urer of the new province.

plantations there. Senor Lopez has al

sian climat9 Practical experiments on
a large scale will be made and the re-
suit is awaited with great interest.

LONDON, March l8-There is dispO.
sition here to think too much has been

st. Peters burg to check any-tendency to
any undue aggressiveness on the part Of
the Russian representatives in China.

that diplomacy will be able to smooth
the friction. The officials of the British
foreign office have not yet received off,
cial confirmation of Russia's alleged
backdown in regard to Manchuria Tues
day, and Mongolian inquiries on the
subject are now being made at st.
