THE WAR NOT OVER.
Two engagements with the Fill

Mindanao during the last twenty-four
hours. Moore. of the Twenty-seventh

long range. Lieutenant Colonel Frank
n. Baldwin. with battalion Of troops
and a mountain gun, went to the assis.
tance of Moores party and drove off
the .Moros. who lost seven men. The
firing. was at eleven hundred yards
range.
The Moro villages were flying red
flags, meaning that they intended TO
fight to the uttermOSt.
Datto GanaSi has sent delegation 10
the American commander, rendering
the absolute submission Of the men an
der his control.
Brigadier General Davis, in command
at Zamboanga, island of Mindanao, has
acknowledged the receipt from Wash
ington of instructions to withdraw his
troops from Mindanao, but he urges
that owing to the present state of af-
fairs. the withdrawal of the troops will
result in the absolute loss Of American n
prestige among the Moros in Mindanao.
His orders, however, are explicit. Lieu
tenant Colonel Baldwin and his forces
are beyond the reach of telegra ply
instructions from Washington.
Washington, April 2.-The war de-
partment has Instructed General Chat
fee to delay the departure of the pro-
posed expedition into Mindanao until
after the receipt of further directions
from Washington. The president de-
sires to exhaust all other means of ef-
fecting the character of the Moros who
murdered American soldiers, before
dispatching an armed expedition for
that purpose. Meanwhile, however

Chicago. April 22.-Mystery surrounds
after midnight on the charge of cor
spiracy to do an unlawful act" in con-
nection with the justice court fight be-
ing made by the city of Chicago against
the union and consolidated traction
companies in Justice George Woods
court. Some time ago a circuit court
decision ruled that these companies
should give transfer to lines running
into the suburbs of Austin for one fare.
The citizens Of Austin and the city gov
ernment tried to compel the companies
to grant the transfers and numerous
damage suits were brought against
them on refusals. These damage suits
were brought in Justice Woods court,
and so far have been lost. The sensa-
tional arrests of today following sharp
ly upon the victories Of the companies
have led TO grave charges.
TIE men arrested are William J. Cal
lagher a promoter; Walter c. Jones, Z

nies in the recent damage suits, and

Washington, April 22-The question
of reciprocity With Cuba formed TIE
subject of an important preliminary
conference on the part OF a majority u
the republican senators today. This
conference was held in the room OF the
senate committee on finance during the
afternoon sitting OF the senate and was
extended for some time after the ad-
iournment Senator Hale presided The
result OF the meeting may be summed
ND as follows:
= There will be an early meeting OF che
senate committee or relations with
Cuba to take up the question on tie
basis of the house bill which is now
before that committee. The<epublican
members of the committee will act to-
gether in formulating a substitute fol
the house bill and none of hem are tn
cooperate with the democratic mem-
bers of the committee: the bill thus
agreed upon by the republican men,
bers to be submitted to republican
caucus of the senate and made a party
measure.
The leaders of the movement express
confidence that it will be possible TO
port a bill by the committee and say
their confidence also extends to the
point of the passage of the bill by the
senate.
Senators Aldrich. Hale, Platt, of Con-
necticut and Hanna were most outspok-
en- in their expression of opinion that
reciprocity legislation is demanded by
the exigencies of the occasion.
Senator Aldrich expressed the belief
that internal complications in Cuba
might result in case no relief should be
given to the planters Of the Island. One
or two other senators suggested 80 1-3
per cent as an equitable rate, and a few
expressed the opinion that there should
be no reduction whatever, saying that
| they felt that the United States already
had done enough for Cuba, and that
our own sugar interests deserve all The
protection that the existing law gives
it.
| the democrats We're favorable to the
proposed reciprocal arrangements ard
| the opinion was vouchsafed that in the
| end all the republicans could be brought
| into line on a fair bill
1t was generally agreed that most of
the opposing republican senators were
| from sugar beet growing states, but
| the fact was brought out tht there are
| some republican senators who are in
clined to oppose the legislation for
other reasons
| The concensus of opinion seemed to
| be that bill, granting not to exceed %
! per cent. reduction, should be reported
| by the committee and there was gen.
| eral unanimity as to advisibility nf
eliminating the house provision stria-
ing out the differential duty On refined
l sugar.
| The democratic senators llSo were
| more or less engaged today with the
| sugar question. The democratic con-
| sultations generally had reference to
| Senator Teller's resolution providing for
| an inquiry as TO the holding of the
| present stock of sugar and there wSE
| at one time a practical assurance that
| sufficient votes ocui6 be secured to pass
| the resolution. It would seem prob
