WANT ANNEXATION.

A demonstration in favor OF the
annexation of Mindanao TO the United
States occurred at Zamboanga, yester-
day.
Two hundred Filipinos had present
ed to Secretary OF War Dickinson, who
is now visiting the Philippine Islands.
a petition asking that the Moro Islands
be placed under Filipino control and
the entire Archipelago granted indepen-
dence.
Secretary Dickinson in reply said
that the American government was not
willing to intrust the government OF
385 600. Moros to $4,000 Filipinos,
living in widely scattered regions. He
feared that such a solution OF the
Philippine question would lead to a
rupture of peaceful conditions, when to
the Americans would be left the task oil
restoring order.
-Four Dattos or Moro chiefs, repre-
senting 10000 Moras, Zamboango
dramatically rendered their allegiance
to the United States and announced
they would fight if the Americans with
drew.
A wild demonstration followed and
the cry that the province must become
American territory ran through the
crowd, which had gathered to hear the
American secretary of war.

Japan ANNEXEs COREA.

The text OF the convention under
which Korea is annexed to japan was
communicated at II O'Clock yesterday
morning in Toxic TO the representatives
OF the powers. The document, which
according to now established facts, was
signed August %, will be effective when
officially promulgated. This will occur
according to some OF the ministers,
August 90 or August 30, when the in
dependent existence Of the Hermit
Kingdom the struggle for whose control
started the Russo japanese war, will
cease
Japan is to maintain the open-door
policy in Korea to the favored ma
tons. " She will exercise an admins
tratve rather than a restrictive power
over newly annexed territory. This
much of the annexation treaty leaked
out yesterday in Washington following
visit 10 the State Department OF Bar

ROOSEVELT ON THE RAMPAGE,

Theodore Roosevelt served notice
yesterday, in Utica, n. Y, that he
would wage war without quarter on the
"Old Guard" Of the republican party
in New York state. Having been drawn
into the fight, as he says, against his
will. he has determined to pursue II to
the end, win or lose.
Mr.. RooSevelt's attitude was indI-
Gated more clearly than at any time be-
fore by a statement which he issued.
The statement follows:
They will have all the fight they
want. | am only going to the con
yention because / feel that the public
interests. the interests Of the people OF
New York, demand that the republican
partv be given chance to stand
squarely and uncompromslngly for
clean, decent, honest politics. | go
tC tlat convention to make the speech
exactly as it had been planned origl-
nally, and while hope there will be
enough good sense TO prevent anyone
opposing the principles for which /
shall stand. yet, il they do oppose
them, then it is their own affair and so
far as | am concerned the issue shall
be absolutely cleancut. "
Mr.. Roosevelt said that he was going
into the fight with his eyes open and
with full realization Of the fact that he
might not be successful. He said he
fell that. on account of the attitude OF
members Of the organization, he was
at perfect liberty to carry on uncom-
promising warfare
Some of Roosevelt's closest friends in
the state have told him that they were
doubtful as to the outcome, and he has
replied that he himself felt that, even
though he should be successful in the
state convention at Saratoga and such a
platform as he desired should be adopt
ed. the result of the election would be
in grave doubt.
Roosevelt has told his friends that he
did not feel sure that the Roosevelt
Hughes forces would receive unquall-
fed support from the organization at
the polls.
Rooseyelt's Endorsement OF State
Senator Frederick Davenport was the
first step in the fight which he expects
to carry on from now until election
time. He decided yesterday to go to
the state fair in Syracuse on September
/ II to speak, and at that time may talk
politics.
He probably will make number OF
other speeches, both before and after
the state convention.
Vice President Sherman, who is one
Of the central figures in the struggle,
and whom Colonial Roosevelt opposed
by his Endorsement of Senator Dayen-
port, said emphatically last night that
he would not talk about the situation.
Mr.. Sherman has been refusing In
teryiews several times a day, and last
night he said positively that he would
have no statement TO make at any time,
so far as he could see at present.
