loader of the opposition to reciproci
ty. had agreed with Mr. Payne that

General Malvar has unconditionally
surrendered to Brigadier General J.
Franklin Bell at Batangas province
with the entire Insurgent force ot the
provinces of Lnguna and Batangas.
General Bell says his (Bell's) Influ
ence Is sultlelent to quell the Insur
rectionary movements In Tayabas

those In the field who have not yet

the complete surrender of every In

sistance In his department hns ended
and that the surrenders Just an
nounced mean that the ports will be

detention ramps can be allowed to
return to their homes In time to plant
the crops. General Wheaton is es
pecially pleased with General Bell's
care of the natives confined In the
camps. The ofilcers In charge aro
held responsible for tho quality and
quantity of tho food served out and
for the general welfare of the occu
pants of tho camps. Tho people of
Manila are delighted at the prospect
of a resumption of trade with the
pacified province and are anxious to
show Generals Chaffee, Wheaton and
Bell their appreciation of tho fact that
the Insurrection is really over. About
3.300 rifles havd been received by tho
American ofilcers In BnlntiRas and
Laguna provinces during the pnst four
months. The lack of news from the
Island of Samnr Is due to a defective
cable. It Is believed, however, that
the American commander there rev
celved, Tuesday, tho surrender of all
tho Insurgents In Samar unless thn
planned proceedings were altered.
General ChafTee, in announcing tho
surrender of Malvar, writes that "or
ganized armed resistance to the
United States Is terminated In tho de
partment of North Philippines. Gov
ernor W. H. Taft, of the Philippines,
said In St. Louis, Mo., Wednesday:
"The real war In tho Islands Is over
when 30 provinces are pacified, and
only three remain to be brought under
control, and I do not expect to see
these three provinces In rebellion
very long. Civil government Is a
success and the whole archipelago
will soon offer a field for American
enterprise.

Chinamen Awaiting Deportation
Threaten Riot If They Ar Not
Shipped or Turned Lose.
The Treasury Department has re
ceived from the Collector of Customs
at San Francisco a telegram saying
08 Chinamen In detention sheds on
steamship docks at Ban Francisco
threnten violence If they are not
either taken back to China by the
steamship companies or are allowed
their freedom. Several Chlnnmen
who were detained have managed to
escape, r.nd tho case is giving the
Treasury Department some trouble.
In answer to the report of the Col
lector, Assistant Secretary Taylor
Tuesday wired him to make a written
demnnd on tho steamship companies
for the deportation of the detained
Chinamen, and to further notify tho
companies that the Treasury Depart
ment will prnsecnto them for every
Chinaman who hns escaped. The
Chinamen who are detained In the
sheds have been held there from
three to nine months awaiting depor
tation, and the steamship companies
bavo done nothing tn send them away.
They enmo to San Francisco ostensi
bly for transit through to Mexico, but
the Immigration officials had reason
to doubt the good faith of those look
ing after their destination, which was
believed to be this country, and the
Chinamen were prevented from land
ing and ordered to be deported. The
steamship companies have a case
pending In the Supreme Court which
they believe may settle the right of
tho Treasury to require them to 'de
port Chinamen, and that Is one rea
son why they are holding the Chinamen.

tions of a treaty, the United States
shall pay Colombia tho lump sura of
$7,000,0(10. This figure will repre
sent 14 year's rental at $500,000 i

col provides for the appointment of

tion of Justice, and other steps nec
essary to the Joint occupation of tho

stables. It Is stated positively that
the modifications for which the proto
col was recalled were In the nature
of explanations which make certalu
points clearer, but do not change
their effect. The retention of Colom
bian sovereignty over the canal land
Is a point which has been conslsently
adhered to all through the protocol,
and none of Its provisions rellnauhh
this sovereignty In any degree, it is
said. Tho protocol consists of 27
articles, and represents nn exhaus
tive Btudy of more than a year.
Viewed as a study and as a compre
hensive presentation, It Is regarded
very favorably at the State Department.

Queen Wilhelmlna, ot Holland, la
suffering from fever at. Castle Loo,
It is said that her condition is not

R. O. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trado says: Weather conditions
have been potent for good during tho
past week. Retail distribution was
greatly accelorated, which in turn en
larged Jobbing trade and brought
more pressure on manufacturers for
prompt shipment. Agricultural work .
was facilitated and building opera
tions made rapid progress. Traffic
increased at the interior as the condi
tion of country roads Improved, which
made collections better. Some labor
controversies were settled and others
were averted. Complaints are still
heard regarding tardy deliveries, but
freight is less congested, and business
has increased to the extent of 6.9 per
cent., larger railway earnings for
April thus far than last year, and
16.3 per cent, over 1900. Quotations
of iron and steel cannot yet be con
sidered Inflated, but the market Is fol
lowing a natural course despite the
efforts of leading Interests to main
tain a conservative position. Supply
and demand must in the long run gov
ern prices, and in this Industry, needs
are greater than available Btocks, al
though productive capacity has large
ly expanded. Pressure for pig Iron
Is very great, but furnacemen have
contracted for their output far Into
the future, and consumers who wanf
prompt delivery are willing to pay
premiums. Similarly as to steel rails
the regular price of $28 has become
nominal on current business, an ad
vance of $5 being readily paid by
immediate delivery. This la especi
ally noticeable on urgent trolley con
struction. Specifications for new
buildings promise abundant addition
al contracts for structural material
while some mills have already sold
their entire output for 1902. Woolen
goods are in less urgent demand,
purchasers having secured most of
the cloth which the American Com.
pany was unable to furnish owing tq
the strike. Buying ot dress gdods
has decreased, and Jobbers are be
ginning to go out with fall lines. Foot
wear shipments from Boston have do
creased, but Jobbers are pkictng or
ders for fall and tho shops are fairly
well occupied. Shoe manufacturefa
are buying leather more freely, hold- '
ing prices fairly steady, except for
hemlock sole, which lost half a cent.
Grain and meats have continued very
strong. There was some logical ex
planation ot the advance in corn, In
terior receipts falling to 857,000
busbela for the week, while Atlantio
exports ruse to 384,803 bushels, an
unusually largo total for recent times,
although email by comparison with
the corresponding week In preceding
years. Wheat was sustained by ex
ports from all ports of 3,385.352
bushels, flour included, against '4,631,
891 a year ago. Sugar and coffee
have been notably weak, tbe latter
tailing to within a sixteenth ot the .
bottom record. - Failures tor tba
week numbered 261 in the United
States against 206 last year, and 21
In Canada against 21 a year ago.
