Many ships used In the liiterislnml
commerce liuve been tied up in the linr

and merchants have been iiikhik the trnv
ernment to raise the blockade. When
the decision was made known yesterday,
the scene in the custom house wns ns an
imated us the lloor of nn American stock
exchanKc. It was a busy day. Ship
owners rushed to get their clearance pa
pers. There willl be a great boom in the
hemp business-, which has been nt a
standstill. The ships will rnee to bring
the first cargoes before the demand weak
ens. As there Is a heavy export duty on
hemp this will greatly increase the rev
enues. The interests of the natives as
well us the merchants and traders gen
erally led General Otis to take this ac
tion, lielegntions from the southern Is
lands told him that the cessation of busi
ness was bringing much suffering to
peaceful inhabitants.
Gunboats will protect the shipping in
some ports, but elsewhere shippers must
risk enntiscntion by the insurgents, who
exact heavy tribute of all ships they per

The rumor that Aguinaldo had been
assassinated wns in circulation here for.
several days. It was not believed, but
its currency gave it a definite form. Ac
cording to the story Gnjieral l'io del Pilur
called upon Aguinaldo on June 19 mid
accused him of causing General Luna to
be killed. Aguinaldo denied responsibili
ty and ndded that he deeply regretted
Luna's death. General l'io del l'ilar, as
the story goes, called him a liar and
acoiiiidi'cl, shot him twice in the head
with Jus revolver and walked away un
molested. The report finds no credence in Ma
nila. A Filipino general, mounted on a
big horse, with n numerous staff, has
since been seen haranguing the Filipino
troops around han Fernando, in l'ampan
ga province, nnd this olllcer is supposed
to be Aguiunldo.

WASHINGTON, June 27. Tie war
department has made public the follow
ing dispatch from General Otis, dated
June 20, in reply to an inquiry by the de
partment as to the situation in the Phil
ippines: "llainy season. Little inland campaign
ing possible in Luzon. We occupy large
portion Tngnlog country, lines stretching
from Inius south to San Fernando north,
early 00 miles, nnd enstwnrd into La

suffered great losses and are scattered;
only large force held together about 4,000
in Tarlac province and northern Pain
panga. Their scattered forces in bands
of 50 to 600 in other portions Luzon; in
Cavil e and Batangas provinces could as
semble possibly 2,000, though demoraliz
ed from recent defeat; mass of people,
terrorized by Insurgent soldiers, desire
peace and American protection; no longer

them; no recent burning of towns; popu

taking up land cultivation extensively;
kept out Manila much as possible, as city

"Natives southeast Luzon combining to

leaders is United States aid. They pro
claim near overthrow present adminis

States. This is the influence which en
ables them to hold out Much contention
prevails among them, and no civil gov
ernment remains.
"Trade with ports not In our possession

policy, as people in those ports ure with

CLHVKLAXD, June 2(1. Only one
outbreak of violence attended the re
sumption of trallie on all the lilies of the
Itig Consolidated street railway yester
day. There was objection in some parts
of the city to the retention of the non
union men who were kept by the com
pany. A party of 2." men assembled
near the Itiooklyn bridge, Just south of
the city, and whenever n car came along
with a nonunion crew the passengers
were asked to disembark and wait for a
car manned by n union crew. In imwt
cases the passengers did us requested.
Finally a nonunion conductor undertook
to argue with the crowd, nnd he was
promptly struck over the head with a
club and he and the niotorinan driven
away. The mob refused to permit the
enr to move until a union crew came
along nnd pushed it to the barns.
As a rule the old men were glad the
strike was settled, though there wns
some grumbling because the nonunion
men were kept. It Is predicted that, nil
the nonunion men will be glad to leave
the city within HO days, though the com
pany Imposed ns one of the conditions of
tin agreement for the settlement of the
trouble that nil the new men should be
treated with consideration by the old em
ployees. COLUMBIA IN COMMISSION.

POUGIIKKKPSIK, X. Y., June 2S.
Twenty thousand people saw one of the
most exciting four mile boat races ever
witnessed in the history of college row
ing. Five thousand people on the obser
vation trnin yelled themselves hoarse in
frantic appeals to their various college
crews to do their best, and with the oth
er lo.(MK) they saw the red and blue car
ried over the line, n winner by a short
half length from the Wisconsin crew,
who lost it in the last 200 yards by bad
steering. Cornell, the victor of former
years, pulled after, n good four lengths
in the rear, anil Columbia, never In the
fight after the end of the first mile, trail
ed in a good three lengths from the stern
of the Cornell boat.
It was the kind of n race that makes
the blood tingle iu the veins and the
nerves become tense under the excite
ment, nnd these elements were injected
into the rnee by the crew that came over
1,000 miles to meet former victors, for
without the gallant Wisconsin in the
race it would have been n doleful proces
sion nfter the second mile was entered.
To say that there was surprise on the
observation trnin nnd in the grout
crowds upon the banks when the Wiscon
sin shell swept mile nfter mile of the
course until the last half was reached
with a clear lead upon nil the crews is
putting it mildly. When the people on
the bank were unable to place the stran
ger crew, they looked toward the obser
vation train inquiringly nnd were told
that it was Wisconsin ahead. They were
almost dumb with amazement, anil when
those on the train saw the gallant strug
gle mile nfter mile, they dropped their
appeals for their own crews and yelled
in friendly maimer for the boys from the
west. The alleged ragged stroke, the bad
ly keeled boat, the too long reach, all
were forgotten as the fastly moving craft
kept its sharp nose to the fore, and then
saw them turn out toward the shore at
the Ijnish and lose the race to the men
from Pennsylvania by a short half
length.
And Pennsylvania, well did they tdiey
the injunction of Fllis Ward to not lose
their heads. From the first eighth of a
mile they rowed u stern, hard chase, at
one time being astern of both Cornell and
Wisconsin, but their pluck and endur
ance sent them over the line a winner in
good time and by such a small margin
that the glory is greater. For Cornell,
the winner of many battles, it proved to
be a race only in two miles. For those
first two miles she did gallant work, but
she was struggling against evidently bet
ter crews, und it was only with exertions
of a phenomenal nature that she man
aged to keep the nose of her boat ahead
of Pennsylvania for a brief time in tho
second mile. Of Columbia it may be said
that she was outclassed from the start,
and, barring an accident, there was never
any time that she stood a chance of win
ning the race. She went to the rear In
the first quarter of a mile, although she
made a good start, and staid there all
through the race.
