SCHWANS REPORT
Eeview of Conditions In the
Philippine Islands.
The General Says American
Rule Is Welcomed.
All the Best Classes Want Peace.
Trouble Mainly Confined to
Bandits and Guerrillas.
WASHINGTON, Mny 2.1.-The war
department hn received an interesting
report from Unrulier General Theodore
Schwan, V. 8. V., dnted on the transport
Thomas nt sen, Mny 12, lu which he sub
mits a thorough review of the stute of
affair In the Philippines up to tho time
of his departure from Manila on April
16, making particular reference to what
he believes to be the Irretrievable collapse
f the Filipino insurrection an a whole,
and expressing tho conviction that if left
lone the Filipinos would soon demon
strate their absolute inability to govern
themselves.
"The principal islands," he says, "are
now. as never before, held with an iron
grip by the military. In Luzon nil the
interior, as well as all tho coast towns of
importance, are occupied by American
troops."
General Schwan states that the sole
hope entertaitied by the insurgents for
the revival of the insurrection lies In the
supposition that the Fnitcd States troops
will be obliged to abandon many of their
present positions nt the openiiiK of the
wet season, owing to inability to secure
supplies during that period.
With the- exception of the savage
mountain tribes and the numerous bands
of brigands, says the report, the greater
majority of both the educated and peas
ant classes in the Philippines heartily de
sires, u restoration of peace and order tin
ier American rule.
i-7 IiOiiBEKS AXI) BRIGANDS.
The many bands of robbers and bri
gands form u disjointed nucleus for a
prospective reeoticeiitrntlon of insurgent
forces and tho renewed prosecution of
Jus rebellion, says General Schwan. Con
tinuing, the report says:
"Indeed, these guerrilla bands nnd their
depredations constitute all that is implied
by the 'Philippine insurrection' n it now
exists, the leaders, military and political,
of this 'forloru hope' realizing that should
they allow the Insurgent movement to die
its natural death and American rule to be
firnily established they would have to
abandon forever their present positions
of influence nnd be relegated to their
former obscurity in private station.
"The operations of troops and the paci
fication of the towns not yet subdued
will be carried on regardless of the rainy
season, which, as stated above, the in
surgents believe will cause nn abandon
ment of many important towns by our
rroops. Abuudaut supplies have been
iccuninlated nt the various posts in an
ricipntlon of this exigency nnd the roads
;laced in such a state of repair ns to
;reveiit the heavy rains from destroying
iheir usefulness in forwarding the same."
In concluding his report General
Schwan says:
"The most serious obstacle In the way
if complete pacification of the islands
low lies in the mutual distrust between
'be troops nnd the inhabitants. This, I
lelieve, will disappear after each class
H'comes more thoroughly acquainted
vith the other and the benefits to be de
lved from an intimate relationship with
'he military become appreciated by the
latives. On the other hnnd, the work
nt out for the troops will bo greatly
'acilitnted when they gain tho confidence
if the well disposed nutives. When the
atter find that the troops have come to
tay, they mttloubtedly will resist tho
xactions of the robber bands, turn about
ind assist the American troops in ferret
n B out their haunts and plans, and the
lays of this guerrilla rebellion will be
lumbered."

WASHINGTON. May 22.-The state
department has met the Issue raised by
the coming to Washington of the liner
delegation by declining to Interfere in be
half of the South African republics in the
present struggle. In view of this an
nouncement all questions as to the char
acter of the recognition to be extended to
the delegates and the sufficiency of their
credentials dropped at once into the back
ground. It was, after all, of little mo
ment whether or not the Hoers were re
ceived as diplomatic agents or ministers,
so long as they were powerless to pro
mote the prime object of their mission
namely, to cause the I'nited States gov
ernment to intervene to bring about
peace.
Secretary Hay gave out the following
statement:
Messrs. A. Fischer, C. II. Wcssels and
,T. M. A. Wolmarans, the delegates in
this country of the South African repub-
J. M. A. WOLM ARAN'S. A. FISCHER.
lies, called yesterday by appointment nt
the state department. They were cordial- ,
ly received and remained with the secreta
ry of state for more than nn hour. They
laid belore the secretary nt much length
and with great energy and eloquence the
merits of the controversy in South Africa
and the desire of the Moor republics that
the United States should intervene in the '
interests of peace and use its Influence to
that end with tho Mritish government.
The secretary of state made the fol-
lowing reply: I
"The president, in his message to the I
congress last December said:
" 'This government has maintained nn
attitude of neutrality in the unfortunate
contest between Great Britain und the
Moer stntes of Africa. We have remain-
ed faithful to the precept of avoiding en
tangling alliances as to affairs not of our '
direct concern. Had circumstances sug
gested that the parties to the quarrel
would have welcomed any kindly expres
sion of the hope of the American people
that wnr might be averted good offices
would have been gladly tendered.'
"As the war went on the president,
while regretting the suffering nud the
sacrifices endured by both of the combat-,
ants, could do nothing but preserve a I
strict neutrality between them. This he '
has steadily and consistently done, but
there never has been a moment when he
would have neglected any favorable occa- 1
sion to use his good offices in the interests '
of peace.
C. II. WESSELS.
On the 10th of last March we received
from Mr. Hay, the United States consul
at Pretoria, this telegram:
" 'I am officially requested by the gov
ernments of the republics to urge your
Intervention with a view to cessation of
hostilities. Same request made to repre
sentatives of European powers.'
"Tho president nt once directed me to
convey the substance of this telegram to
the Mritish government, and in commu
nicating this request I was directed by
him to express his earnest hope that a
way to bring about peace might be found
and to say that he .would be glad to aid
in any friendly manner to promote so
happy a result. The Transvaal govern
ment wns nt the same time informed of
tho president's act inn in the matter. Our
representative in London promptly com
municated the president's instruction to
Lord Salisbury. In nnswer he wns re
quested to thank the president for the
friendly interest shown by him, and Lord
Salisbury added that her majesty's gov
ernment could not accept the intervention
of any power. This communication also
was immediately transmitted to our con
sul at Pretoria to be communicated to
the president of the South African Re
public. So fur as we are informed tho
I'nited States was the only government
in the world of ill those approached by
the South African republics which ten
dered its good offices to either of the com
batants in the interests of cessation of
hostilities.
"Tho president sympathizes heartily In
the sincere desire of all the people of tho
United States that the war now ulllicting
South Africa may for the sake of both
parties engaged come to a speedy close,
but having done his full duty in preserv
ing a strictly neutral position between
them and in seizing the first opportunity
that presented itself for tendering his
good offices in the interests of peace ho
feels that In the present circumstances
no course is open to him except to persist
in the policy of impartial neutrality. To
deviate from this would be contrary to all
our traditions nnd all our national inter
ests and would leud to consequences
which neither the president nor the peo
ple of the United States could regard
with favor."
Tho Moer representatives were received
by the president nt tho While House at
10 o'clock this morning. Their visit to
the executive mansion wns arranged foi
them by Secretary Hay during their call
at the state department. The call was
entirely unofficial.

THE COLUMBIAN,
AMCITEEN BILL
Reported Favorably by House
Military Committee.
Prohibits Sale of Liquor on
Government Premises.
Would Exclude Intoxicating
Beverages From Capitol and
All Public Buildings.
WASHINGTON", May 2.T-The anti
canteen bill, which has attracted wide
spread attention nnd against which the
military authorities recently reported,
was ordered favorably reported by the
house committee on military affairs today
with an amendment which will exclude
liquor from the capitol and other public
buildings. The bill reported is known as
the Mowersisk bill und is applied to
premises used "for military purposes."
These words were struck out, making the
bill apply to "any premises used or own
ed by the I'nited Stales." The bill as re
ported is ns follows:
"A bill to prevent the selling of or
dealing in beer, whio or any intoxicating
drinks in any post exchange or canteen
or transport or upon any premises used
or owned by the I'nited States.
"Me it enacted, etc., (hat the sale of or
dealing in beer, wine or any intoxicating
driuks as a beverage by any person in
any post exchange or canteen or trans
port or upon any premises used or owned
by the United Slates is hereby prohib
ited. "Section 2. That the penalty for any
violation of this act shall not be less
than $10(1 and not more than $."i(I0 for
each oflcuse."

though in executive session, is under
stood to have been: Yeas Hull. Marsh,

WASHINGTON, May 23. The sen
ate committee on printing has made a re
port of its investigation of the compila
tion nnd publication of the messages and
papers of the presidents. The commit
tee finds that Representative Richardson
devoted four years to compiling and in
dexing the papers. "It is not to be
doubted," it says, "that his labors were
most assiduous and that they consumed
during this period a great amount of his
time." It also is stated that be expend
ed $3,G)0 of his own funds in securing
assistance iu the preparation of the in
dex. With reference to the claim of
copyright the committee says that Mr.
Richardson does not claim that it op
erates against the government, but only
as against all other publishers that it
protects the form of the publication, the
illustrations und the original mutter,
though none of the documents them
selves. On this point the committee expresses
the opinion that "the prohibition in the
printing act wns intended to cover every
publication authorized by congress in all
possible forms," and it adds that "in
view of the debate it is clear that con
gress intended to prevent precisely what
has happened the copyrighting of this
particular book. Your committee thinks
that copyright should not have issued in
behalf of the messages and that the law
as it stands is sufficient to deny copy
right to any and every work once issued
ns a government publication. If the
services of any author or compiler em
ployed by tho government require to be
compensated payment should be made
in money, frankly and properly appro
priated for that purpose, ond the result
ing book or the publication in whole
und as to any part should be always nt
the free use of the people, and this with
out doubt wns what congress intended."
The committee says the donation of
the plates of the work to Mr. Richard
son was a mistake nnd placed congress
in n false position. The committee pro
nounces Richardson's contract with Pub
lisher Marcus unobjectionable, but criti
cises Murcus' methods ns questionable.

Control of Milk Market.
MiniLETOVN. N. Y.. May 23.
Deputy Commissioner of Agriculture E.
.1. Preston, who is n member of the Five
States executive committee, is in this city
and declares himself hopeful of the strug
gle the fanners are making to control the
milk market. He says that the milk now
being held back should not be taken as a
test of the strength of the association or
quality of the milk that it controls. A
large proportion of the members of the
association previously made contracts for
their milk for six months or a year, but
after these contracts expire no new oues
will be made by the men except on the
basis of the association's schedule of
prices.

lite yesterday Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin
spoke on his bill providing that upon the
suppression of the Insurrection In the
Philippines the government of the Is
lands shall devolve Upon the president
until such time ns congress might direct
otherwise. Notwithstanding the fact
that he was almost too ill to stand, Mr.
Spooner's effort was one of the notable
speeches of the present session. Ho de
fended with characteristic vigor nnd elo
quence the policy of the administration
in the Philippines, maintaining that no
other policy in the circumstances was
possible and that none other could have
been adopted without dishonor to the
country. Without concluding his re
marks Mr. Spooner elected the floor until
today. Late lu the afternoon Senatoi
Carter of Montana presented the creden
Hals of Senator Clark of Montana. They
will lie ou the table for the present.
An agreement wns reached yesterday
between the friends of Senator Clark of
Montana and the senate committee on

Serious Trolley Car Accident.
RUFFALO, May 23 Two cars on the
Genesee street line jumped the track yes
terday afternoon as they were approach
ing the bridge across Scajaduaquada
creek. There was no collision, ami that
both cars should leave the track was con
sidered a remarkable coincidence. The
cars were about equal distance apart.
They both eutered adjacent fields, the
first car being overturned. William Mul
hall, niotorman of one of the cars, tried
to stop his car, but failed to do so. He
was badly hurt. Seven passengers were
injured, two fatally.

Since the days of printing, probably
no author has waited longer for a

came. Twenty-five years were devot
ed by him to writing this history,
which, although well known nt the

several historians, mysteriously dis
appeared nt the time of the American
revolution, nnd was believed to be ns
Irrecoverable ns the lost books of

berforce, of Oxford, made quotations
from a manuscript said by him to be
in the library of the lord bishop of
London, nt Fulhnm place. These were
recognized some years later by nn
Amoricnn scholar ns probably of Brad
ford's authorship, nnd subsequent in
vestigation identified the nmnuserlpt,
which was for the first time printed
in 1850, more thnn two centuries after
it left the author's hands.
This immortal manuscript consists
of 2S0 large folio pages, written on
one side of the paper only, the whole
