Hundred Hostile Fill.
ipinos.

Manila. Nov 23.-Three hundred
Moros are known to have been killed
and many others were carried off dead
or wounded as a result of five days
severe fighting in Jolo between the
American troops under Gen. Leonard
Wood and the insurgents.
Gen. Wood landed near Siet lake,
in Jolo, November IL. The MOros
were soon located, and fighting began
Immediately and continued until No
vember II. Maj. Scott was taking
Panglima Hassen, the Moro leader,
who had been taken prisoner, to Jolo.
While in route Hassen asked to be
allowed to see his family. His appeal
was granted, and he thereupon led
Maj Scott into an ambush, where the
American detachment was fired upon.
Maj Scott was shot in both hands.
Hassen succeeded in escaping during
this unexpected attack, but is sup
posed to have been killed the follow
ing day.
The fighting took plac in a section
covered with rocks and brush. The
MorOs were driven across the country
from Siet lake to the town where Has
sen had made headquarters, and where
it was reported the Moros were 1000
strong. The rebel position was at
tackled in the flank by the American
troops, who occupied the town and
inflicted a loss of fifty killed on the
Moros. Hassen, with a small party,
surrounded The chief Moros went in
to the swamps, out of which they were
driven on November 16, leaving sew
enty-six dead behind them.
On November II the American force
renewed the attack on the retreating
Moros, of whom forty or more were
killed. The rebel forces have been
literally destroyed by these opera
tons. Gen. Wood says the indica-
tons are that there will be no extern
sion of the uprising, which was
handled without difficulty.
On November IS Gen. Wood started
on an expedition against a body Of
1000 Moros, who are in the mountains
back of Tablitsi. No news has yet
been received as to the result of this
movement. Gen. Wood had under him
two battalions of the Twenty-third
regiment, a platoon of Capt. George
Satley's battery, two troops of the
Fourteenth cavalry and a detachment
of engineers.
Maj. Scott assisted with force COM
posed of three companies of the Seven

You are right, Mr. Chairman, when
you speak of the stand that the Ger
man element in our citizenship has
always taken in all crises of our nat

beginning of our colonial history to
this day the German strain has been
constantly increasing in Importance
among the many strains that go to
make up our composite nationality.
Each body of immigrants, each
element that has been added to our
national strain, has contributed some
thing of value to the national char
acter and to no element do we owe
more than we owe to that element
represented by those whom / have the
honor this day of addressing"

SURVEY NORTHERN WATERS.
Navy Department to Make Charts OF
Alaska Coast.

Washington, Nov 20.-The navy
department is making plans for sur
veying the waters of Northern Alaska
and the Aleutian islands, in the inter-
est of navigation. The examination
of part of the Aleutian chain by the
gunboat Concord, two years ago, con-
WINGED the department that those wat
ers are either uncharted or are in
correctly charted, which is worse. The
fact that correct charts of these wa
ters are wanting, and the conditions of
fog and stormy weather there often
prevail, make navigation in the vi
cinity of the Aleutian islands and in
Boring sea extremely hazardous.
The growing commerce of Alaska,
and the increasing Importance of the
northern route to vessels plying be-
tween North Pacific ports and China
and the Philippines, make it desirable
that correct charts be provided as
early as possible.

HAD A GREAT GAME.
Washington Defeats Nevada by
Score of to D.

Seattle. Nov. 21.-Washington Uni
versity yesterday defeated Nevada in
the football game here by score of
2 TO 0.
From the football players stand
point alone, the WashingtOn-Nevada
contest was the greatest game that
has been seen in the Northwest for
many seasons. The elevens were so
evenly matched that the result was
practically in doubt until the referees
whistle blew to end the last half.
Washington had all the better of the
argument with the exception of the
punting, but Nevada showed her abil-
ity to make long end runs, and the
football experts on the side lines were
fearful up until the last minute that
one of her backs would get away with
a clear field.
Steckell, in fact, did come very near
going the length of the field in the
second half, and had it not been for
Bagshaw's magnificent tackle Wash
ington might now be nursing a defeat
instead of gloating over victory.
IL Ndo ltiu ldi
the most desperately played of any
that have been seen in Seattle for the
past two or three seasons. Washing
ton had a wholesome respect for Ne
vada and went into the game with the
full knowledge that she must fight to
win. Washington has met every 9th
CT team this season with the idea that
victory was certain and that it was
only question of how large the score
would be. But she knew that she had
yesterday foeman worthy of her
steel, and knew that single moment
of weakening might cost her the
game.
1t was good football throughout,
with the exception that Washington
robbed herself of something like
eighty yards during the game by rea-
son of penalties. Time and time again
she was set back distances varying
from five to twenty yards.

CANAL TREATY
HAY AND BUNAU-vARILLA SIGN
CANAL CONVENTION.
New Treaty Contains Many pror,
sions of the Hay-Herran Docn
ment, but Is Not Based Upon :.
Gives Absolute Sovereignty .
Canal Strip.

Washington. Nov. 19.-The Hav>
Bunau-Varilla isthmian canal treatD
was signed last evening at the resi-.
dence of Secretary Hay by the secre
tary and Philippe Bunau-varilla. tba
minister from Panama,
Although the treaty has not been
made public the Associated Press is
enabled to give the substance of the
document 1t consists of between
twenty-five and twenty-five articles, but
the main points of the convention are
contained in the first six articles.
The keynote of the treaty is the pro.
vision in one of the very first articles
by which Panama cedes to the United
States whatever land or lands through.
out the republic of Panama this gov.
eminent shall find desirable in con.
nection with the building or the oper.
alton and maintenance of the canal
In addition, the treaty gives to the
United States absolute sovereignty
over the canal strip, which it is un.
derstood comprises between eight and
ten miles on each side of the canal.
Within this zone the power of the
United States is as absolute as if the
zone were part and parcel of this
country
In general it may be said that, while
the new treaty contains many of the
provisions of the Hay-Herran treaty, it
is not based on that convention, but
follows not only the spirit but the let
ter of the Spooner act. Thus, instead
of the lease for a fixed period of the
canal strip, this new treaty provides
for a perpetual grant of the right-of,
way to the United States, and instead
of complicated provision for courts
of mixed composition-half American
and half Colombian-to administer
Justice over the canal strip, the new
treaty permits this government to
exercise the most complete jurisdic-
ton thereon.
Permission also is given the United
States to fortify the line and the ter
minals, and it may police it with
troops. That portion of the treaty
dealing with the Notifications Of the
terminals is rather general, but suf-
fciently explicit not to be misunder-
stood
The cities of Panama and Colon re-
tain their municipal autonomy under
the republic of Panama so long as
they may maintain public order and
sanitary conditions to the satisfact-
ion of the United States. Failure to
do this gives the United States, ac-
cording to the treaty, the right TO
force strict compliance with the
wishes of this government in this di-
rection, and the United States can
even use force to compel obedience TO
it's rules as to public order and pubic
! health in these cities.
The money consideration is the
same in the new treaty as in the Hay
Herran convention, with the exception
that the $10,000,000 goes to Panama
instead of to Colombia.
The treaty further provides that
the canal is to be neutral and open to-
all nations on even terms.
Two-thirds of the treaty concern
details of administration, which, while
not necessary to the efficacy OF the
convention, it is believed commend
the new treaty to many members Oh
the senate, who have picked flaws In

DISCOVERY LOST
NOME STEAMER believed TO
HAVE GONE DOWN.
wreckage Comes Ashore at Seal
River, Some Thirty Miles Below
Yukatat-- Marine Men Believe
There Is Scarcely a Hope That
Any on Board Survived.

Seattle, Nov. 24.-The Nome steam
er Discovery is undoubtedly total
wreck and every soul aboard her at the
time she met disaster probably per-
ished. Information almost conclusive,
to this effect came last night from j.
W. Frame, the Post-In,elligencer cor
respondent at Juneau. He obtained it
from ]. Bent, passenger of the steam
er Excelsior, who boarded the vessel at
Yakutat.
Bent's information leaves little or no
hope. Nearly thirty people have gone
down to their graves at sea. 1t Is
scarcely possible that anyone escaping
in open boats or by means of other life
saving equipment of the vessel could
have lived through storm which ap-
pears literally to lave broken the Dis
covery to pieces.
Frames dispatch, which bears Ju-
neau date ofNov. %, reads:
'The steamer Excelsior brings news
of the loss of the Discovery. j. Bent,
a passenger aboard, came down the
beach thirty miles to take the Excel
sior at Yakutat. He saw pieces of the
Discovery's liteboats, preservers, and
huge pieces of her hull. The natives
have seen no survivors.
"My informant left the mouth of the
Seal river November Is. He says a
terrific storm prevailed for week pre-
vious. No small steamer could have
survived. There is no doubt about the
vessel having been wrecked,
"The natives are watching the beach
for bodies. They claim to have seen a
huge piece of mast and to have found
mans coat. The number of passen-
gers aboard is not known here. One or
two from Juneau are thought to have
been aboard.
"The Excelsior departed for Seattle
this morning at O'clock"
The mouth of Seal river, where the
wreckage washed ashore, is about thir-
ty miles this side of Yakutat. 1t is
south and east from that town. AS the
currents of that stretch of sea never set
in very strongly to the north, the
chances are that the Discovery was lost
some miles this side OF the mouth OF
Seal river.
She met her fate probably the night
of October 90, as it was on that date
that she sailed from Yakutat, accord
ing to the Nome City's report. Still,
as there is apparently no one left to
tell the tale of her loss, the full facts
are not likley ever to be known. The
sea may give mp her dead, but the man
ner of their taking off she will never
divulge.
And the identity Of the dead cannot
be esta blished, at least for long time
to come. There is no list of the passen.
gers or crew embarking on her from
Nome. Nor is it known how many
more may have boarded the vessel al
Unga, Sand Point, Kodiak. Valdes and
Yakutat, p orts she is known to have
made. At Valdes or Yakutat it may
be known how many passengers che
had. The loss of the Discovery will
carry great grief to Port Townsend and
Everett, the homes of many of her
crew
