DAVIS AT YAxE LAND.
American General Has Interview
 With Dattos.

Manila, April 29.-Geueral George Davis has arrived at Yake Lano, island of Mindanao, and has had an interview with nine Dattos who are desirious of peace and friendship. One of these Dat tos said he did not write the defiant letter received by the Americans of the mas sacre of the American troops in Minda- mao. He asserted that it was written in the house of priest from Taisaira while he was sick. The priest fled on the ap- pearance of the troops.
 General Davis says the policy of wait ing for strong force. showing friend ship to the natives and paying for sup plies, Is having good results.
 Captain Leo Febiger of the 17th infantry is clearing the trails. He gets more work out of the Morros than any one else.
 When the endorsements reach Samar, the Americans will be near Datto Bayan. and may invite the chief to a friendly conference and request him to deliver up the murderers of American soldiers, who are known to be among his forces. If he refuses the troops will demolish his fort.
 Not shot has been fired since Lieu tenant Colonel Frank D. Baldwin of the 4th infantry captured the fort.
 The Morros are impressed with Ameri- can valor. They previously thought themselves invincible the Spaniards not having reached the lake. It is believed that when the campaign Is concluded the most satisfactory conditions will exist. that the natives will be friendly and will fast assimilate the ways of the Ameri- cans.

THE ARMY IS PRAISED.
Chamber of Commerce of Manila
 Adopts Resolutions.

Manila, April 29-The American Cham Der of Commerce has passed resolution endorsing the action of the United States army in the Philippines in an endeavor to counteract what the members of the Chamber believe to be the opinion pre- vailing in the United States, that of ficers and soldiers have acted in violation of the rules of war. The preamble says the chamber is composed exclusively of American business men, who have been thrown into immediate contact with the prevailing conditions everywhere in the archipelago. and it was resolved that without the constant watchfulness and protection of the army in the Philippines. no property or business interests would be safe and that upon it's inhuencs de- bends the stability of the civil govern ment.
 The resolution eulogizes General Chaffee whose earnest effort has sustained and assisted the civil authorities in the diff ficult task of the establishment of civil government and praises his good 1udg- mept and humanity. which have won him the admiration and affection of all loyal Americans in the islands"

Albers or the ste.mer Deutschland fell dead of heart failure in the chart house of his vessel as she was approaching the port of Cuxhaven He expired In the arms of his first officer, who caught him as he fell The long hours spent by Captain Albers on the bridge of the vessel after the loss of her rudder at sea, which oc- cured before the Deutschland reached Plymouth and during the passage of the North Sea, probably hastened the cap- tain's collapse. As the senior captain of the Hamburg-Amerrcan Steam Packet Company. Captain Albers expected to re- tire after few more trips.
 Emperor William has sent a telegram to the Hamburg American Company in which he expresses his sorrow at the, loss of so excellent and capable an officer, who brought my brother from the United States. The steering of the rudderless Deutschland with her screws on her last homeward trip was a master stroke Of seamanship. Honor to his memory"

any other infiiction of torture upon tho Fiiipinos."
 "Is 1t true" he was asked. that sher- mans army, on it's march to the sea. was guilty of such acts as have been att tributed to our troops in the PhtlippinesT
 Tt is true that Sherman's army did burn buildings, but l never heard of tts ever killing or hurting non-combatant, replied General Wheeler. thoughtfully.
 My associations with the Fiiipinos, nc continued, lied me to believe that they are not a malevolent people. It is true, they were not always frank, and this was due to the fact that the insurgent chiefs were constantly demanding information and money from them, and they were afraid to neglect these demands. because. as they told me, if they did so they would suffer very severely in their prop erty and possibly in their lives. If our troops left, and there was constant impression among that that our troops would only remain temporarily tn that country.
 There were some instances of cruelty on the part of the Filipinos. but they were very few. All the prisoners who were taken by them and who were returned to us, whom I talked to. spoke enthusiastt- caIly of the kindness with which they were treated with the exception of Lieu- tenant Gilmore. He complained of harsh treatment and almost starvation.
 There was one case of cruelty by Gen eral Akin who. 1t was said. ordered three, prisoners to be shot when he was so pressed that he thought they would be retaken by us.
 My impression was that the Fflipinos are responsive to kind methods, and ap- preciate them. and their general express sions to me were that they should love to be citizens of the United States If they can be equals of the Americans. but they do not want to be connected with any government where they will be regarded as interiors;
 'In your opinion" he was asked, can the United States assimilate the Filipinos without exterminating them?'
 With the exception of a few localities peace and quiet and order exist in the Philippines now. quite up to the standard of our own territories. and I am con- vinced this condition will be universal throughout these islands in a very short time.
 'Americans will go there because they find advantages that are offered by few countries. and In a few years they will be the controlling element in those islands. :"
