WITH us.
BACOLOD LETTER A FORGERY.

CHAFFEE.

State of Ignorance That They Are
Very Difficult to Deal With-SuItan

of Person to Deal With-Says He
Wants Time to Consult His Chiefs,
but Is Probably Preparing for
War.
Washington. Sept. 11.-Manila news
papers received at the War Depart
ment to-day contain reports from Min
danao regarding the Moro problem,
showing what the various sultans and
dattos are doing, together with corre-
spondence that has passed and con-
versations that have occurred between
army officers commanding in that ISL
and and the different chiefs. 1t appears
that the Moro chiefs were informed by
Filipinos from Luzon that Russia and
Spain were at war with the United
States. One of the sultans, when ask
ed why he would not be on friendly
terms with the United States authori-
ties, said that the Moros were
all under the direction of
the Sultan of Stamboul, and they
had been informed that there was en-
nifty between the Sultan of STEAMBOAT
and the United States government.
Capt. Pershing. in command of the
cavalry, told him that this was en-
tirely mistake. Another datto made
the claim that the Moros had always
been in undisturbed possession of
the Lake Panao country, and that
even the Spaniards had never at
tempted to interfere with them, and
they did not want the Americans to
do so.
There had been considerable friendly
correspondence with the Sultan of
Bacolod. but finally a very unfriend-
ly letter was received from him, war
like in tone, which greatly surprised
the American officers. From another
Mcco chief the Americans were in
formed that the ugly letter was
forgery perpetrated by two of the
dattos under the Sultan of Bacolod.
These dattoS were very anx-
ious for war, one of them claim
ing that he could hold his fort
against any force that might be
| sent against 1t. The war party was
| stronger than the peace party and was
using taunts of cowardice to the Moros
who wanted to be on peaceful terms
with the Americans to win over all the
men on their side.
The Filipino insurgent Ruff1no was
found to be in that region making
trouble for the Americans.
In another communication from tn :
Moro country 1t is stated that Col.
Baldwin tried to get all the sultans
ard dattos to meet him in a friendly
conference. The Sultan of Bacolod
professed friendship. but asked for
three months in which to communicate
with the various tribes over which he
was chief. Moros in the camp of Col
Baldwin said that this was simply a
ruse to gain further time and prepare
for war.

FOR COMPULSORY
ARBITRATION.
How Peoples Alliance Proposes to
Settle Strike.


Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 1.-THE con-
ference committee of the Peoples AL
lance, appointed at their convention
at Hazleton last Thursday, appeared
before Gov. Stone this afternoon and
submitted plan for effecting a settle
ment of the anthracite coal strike.
Their plan consists of calling an ex-
ira session of the Legislature to en-
act laws for compulsory arbitration
better control of foreign corporate ons
enforcing the sixteenth and seven
teenth articles of the constitution.
Article 16 makes 1t unlawful for any
operator or superintendent to employ
any person as fire boss who has not
obtained a certificate of competency,
and article II prohibits any boy under
u years of age or a woman from
working in a coal mine. and also pro-
hibits a boy under 16 years of age
from mining or loading coal.
Daniel j. Mccarthy of Hazleton said
the Alliance represented the business
people of the hard-coal districts and
that it's purpose was to secure a settle
ment of the strike. There was no sign
of a settlement, and the only hope of
bringing about an end to the strike is
an extra session of the Legislature for
the enactment of the legislation that
will end the present strike and pre-
vent strikes in the future. Mr.. Nc
Carthy suggested that IL an extra ses-
sion is held some action should be
taken to curb the great foreign cor
porations which are doing business in
Pennsylvania. He attacked the beef
trust, the steel trust and other large
corporations because Of the high prices
which they charge for their products.

T0RRENCE'S OFFER DECLINED
South Alone Must Provide for Old
COnfedcrntes, Say Veterans of New
Orleans.

New Orleans, Sept. 1.-THE Confed-
crate veterans of New Orleans last
night refused the proffered aid of Gen.
Torrance, commander-in-ch chief of ,he
Grand Army of the Republic. They
decline with thanks the money to build
a home for INDECENT Confederate SOL
diers in Alabama. The Army of the
Tennessee adopted resolutions refer
ring to Gen. Torrances offer in the
kindest terms declaring that he pos
sesses a noble heart, full of brotherly
love-" but the resolutions say:
I'VE cannot accept even this gener-
ously proffered assistance from any
source save from our own people. 1t
is the duty of the South and the South
alone, to provide for Confederate SOL
diers who may need assistance. TO
permit others to do that duty would,
in our judgment. be both unbecoming
and wrong to the Southern people. But
let it be well understood that we are
grateful to a neighbor who offers
financial assistance when the angel of
death visits the home. In both cases
we must politely, but firmly. decline
to accept the offer. Their are certain
duties which a high-minded people can
not permit others to perform, and this
is one of them"

NICE ROW AT COLLIERY.
Soldier Strikers Have Trouble With
Deputies.

Shenandoah, Pa, Sept. 11.-Several
members of Company K of the Eighth
regiment, got into a row with the dep
uties at Indian Ridge colliery this
evening, and as a result, on orders from
Capt. Duffy, several of the soldiers
were placed in the guardhouse While
the soldiers were passing the stockade
this evening, 1t is said, they called the
deputies hoboes and other names, and
several of the latter followed them to
camp and attempted to arrest them.
Almost the entire company got after
the deputies and chased them back to
the colliery. Nearly all the members
of the company, which is from st.
Clair, Schuylkill county, mining
town, are strikers.

Mr.. Mccarthy argued that the pres

through the gross Encouragement of
the great coal corporations. None of
these corporations. he said, pay a div
idend, while the individual operators
are all making money and getting
rich. Relief can be granted by en-
acting legislation that will enforce the
sixteenth and seventeenth articles of
the state constitution.
Addresses were made by other mem
bers of the committee along the same
lines, all urging remedial legislation.
The Governor said he was glad to
hear from the Alliance, and expressed
his qualification on hearing the views
of the speakers. He made no COM

Whether Teller or WOIcOtt Depends
on Result of Campaign Now Under
Way.
Denver, Col, Sept. 1.-THE principal
issue in the coming election in Colora-
do is the United States senatorship,
and it is already apparent that the
contest is distinctly between Senator
Henry M. Teller and ex-senator Ed
ward o. Wolcott. The Democratic and
Populist members of the Legislature
are pledged by the state conventions
of their parties to vote for the re-elec-
ton of Senator Teller. There appears
to be little or no opposition to VOL
colt in the Republican party, and
should a Republican majority be elect
ed to the Legislature Wolcott can step
into the shoes of his former colleague.
The Republican State Convention will
meet in this city tomorrow for the
purpose of nominating a full state
ticket and a congressman at large.
The sentiment among the delegates
who have already arrived is strongly
in favor of again giving the guberna-
torial nomination to Frank c. Goudy
of Denver, who was the defeated can
didate of the party in the last election.
