PEACE in PHILIPPINES
ALL ISLANDS RIPE FOR CIVIL RULE,
EXCEPT MORO COUNTRY.
Gratifying Statement from Acting
Governor Wright, Which Was
Approved by Gen. Cha6ee.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Secretary Root
to-day made public the following cable
gram from acting Governor Wright, of the
Philippines, dated Manila, May %:
with reference to your cablegram of
only portions of the archipelago not organ
lied under civil governments are lie Panto
Bontoc, Batangas, Laguna, Principe In
fanta Mindora, Samar and the Paraguan
and other small groups. No armed insur-
rection in any of them. Nc reason, so far
as relates to peaceful condition why civil
government in all may not now be estab-
lished. Special governments for Bontoc
and lie Panto, inhabited exclusively by
peaceful Igorrotes, will be organized in a
few days. Will organize civil government
in Laguna Immediately. Batangas for
merly organized was turned over TO mill
sion, act No. 49, will repeal the same to
take effect July 4. Only reason for not
giving immediate effect is that many peo-
pie in this province have only recently re-
turned TO their homes, and in order TO pre-
vent possibility of suffering think best 10
have military to look after them until the
date named, because the latter have a per-
fected organization, which the civil au-
thorities lack Crops now being planted
will mature by Aug. l. Whilst Princine
and Infanta could be organized AT once
il is difficult to look after them until we
receive vessels now building say by Sept.
/; few inhabitants and unimportant Min
dora and Paraguan group are large islands.
Sparsely populated and difficult of access
without vessels. For these reasons think
best TO leave military temporarily I'm charge
because they nave transportation facili-
ties. Under Spanish regime Bontoc. lie

group did not have provincial government.

dora was attached to Mar!nduque. .

the interests both of church and state, and
for the attainment of the great ends of
civil government, of education, of charity
and of religion.
religious orders cannot longer perform in
behalf of the state the duties in relation to
public instruction and public charities for
merly resting on them, and the power which
they formerly exercised, through their re-
lations to the civil government, being now
withdrawn, they find themselves the OBJ
Jects of such hostility on the part of their
tenantry against them as landlords and on
the part OF the people of the parishes
against them representatives of the for
mer government, that they are no longer
capable OF serving any useful purpose for
the church. No rents can be collected from
the populous communities occupying their
lands unles ii be by the intervention of the
ing generally for several years past the
friars formerly installed over the parishes
nave been unable TO remain at their posts
and are collected in ManilaI with the vain
tarily accepted again by the people, and
cannot be restored to their possessions, ex-
cept by forcible intervention on the part
of the civil government, which the princi-
pies of our government forbid. 1t is mani
fest that under these conditions IL is for
the interest of the church as well as of the
state that the landed proprietorship of the
religious orders in the Philippine islands
should cease, and that if the church wishes,
as Of course il does. to continue its minis
and to conduct in its own behalf a system
of instruction, with which we have no de-
sire to interfere il should seek other agents
therefor.

FORT DE FRANCE. Martinique. June 6.

eruption. This morning an enormous col

then spread rapidly into a mushroom

returned to its normal level. The cause of
this is inexpiicable. The sky is now clear,
but a heavy surf is beating on the coast. 1t
is noted at Fort de France that the vol
canic outbreaks coincide with the changes
of the moon.
Meager reports of damage have been re-
ceived here. 1t is probable that the area of
activity and destruction is the same as that
of previous outbursts. This area is now
completely abandoned.
ProfessoB Heilprin and George Kennan
noticed great outburst of yellow vapor
from the volcano yesterday when they were
at lie Precheur. These outbursts seem to
be positive precursors of severe eruptions.
The explosion of this morning was ex-
quently very little panic among the people
here and quiet was soon restored.

JAMESTOWN, Island of ST. Vincent,
June 6-vessels leaving the Island of Mar
Unique have experienced unheavals and
agitations of the sea, pointing TO sub
marine eruptions between Martinique and
ST. Lucia. In the Island of St. Vincent
the shining fleece clouds. which have been
continually rising and spreading in the
direction of the SOuffriere volcano since
May l6 and which have been mistaken for
tropical clouds, have proven to be steam
emitted from the crater, from which
flashes OF flame are issuing nightly. This,
combined with renewed vibrations in the
fire zone. has increased apprehensions that
there may be another eruption of the Souf-
friere volcano. The eruptions at Martin
ique seem TO relieve the St Vincent vol
cano materially. Connection between the
two volcanoes is indisputable as every
eruption in Martinique is accompanied by
corresponding seismic and atmospheric dis
turbances here.

Herrick, former president of the New Mexi-

examining the supposed volcano crater hf-
teen miles from Gallup. gives a description
Of the locality and says: Here there is a
fold and fault which is interesting because
OF the metamorphOsis that is going on.
From cracks in the sandstone everything the

OF heated air, carbon dioxide, sulphurous

be attributed TO the slow oxidation Of shales
in the presence of water. From this point

filled with iron and lime, serving further
