It is the general feeling in administration circles that before General Rios surrendered Iloilo to the insurgents he caused reports to be circulated among the latter that the Americans had no intention of keeping the promises which they were making. It is due to this perfidious action, it is thought, that the insurgents declined to surrender the city to General Miller when requested to do so. The depariment thoroughly approves General Otis’ action in sending a repre- sentative to Tloilo to confer with the insurgents. There is no disposition to supersede General Miller, and his ac- tion in declining to await communita- tion between the insurgents and Aguin- aldo is approved, but it is thought ad- visable that force shall be avoided as long as possible. Diplomacy is being employed by the administration in the hope that the in- surgents will come to an appreciation of the friendly purposes of this Govern- ment. Under instructions sent yester- day General Otis will use every effort to bring Aguinaldo’s followers to a | realization of the desire of this Govern- | ment to establish a beneficent govern- | ment in the Philippines. The adminis- | tration does not want to fizht the in- | surgents.

SW .YORK, Jan. 2.—Bishop Nicholas of the orthodox Greek church addressed a letter to President McKinley relating to certain abuses in ska, in which he says: Alaska stands in need of radical reform in all directions. be set to the abuses of various companies, Commercial Company, " management resources to A limit must more especially of the Alaska which for over thirty v»~rs has had the uncontrolied of affairs and has reduced the country’s hunting and fishing absolufe exhaustion, and the population to beewary ‘and semi- starvation. A limit must be set to the abuses of officials who, as shown by the experience of many years, are sent there without any discrimination and exclusively on the recommendation of Alaska’s irremovable guardian, Sheldon Jackson. And lastly, Alaska must be delivered from that man. By his séctarian propaganda he has introduced dissension. enmity and iniquity where those évils did not before exist. It was the orthodox church which brought the light of truth to that country; why, then, try to drive her out of it by every means lawful or unlawful? “In the name of humanity, of justice and freedom—of those very WBless- ings for the sake of which you declared war against Spain—I make these requests. Will you be acting consistently if, while waging war for the lib- erty .of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines for their human rights, you ignore all these things at home, in part of your own country which has been waiting thirty years for the blessings promised to it? And are not we Rus- slans fully entitled to demand of you for Alaska that for which you have taken up arms against Spain? t “The only thing that may possibly be brought up against us is that we profess the true faith, and have not yet divested ourselves of our sympathies for Russia, the land of our own faith. But is that really sufficient ground for blame and persecution? There is no danger whatever in that to Amer- ican rule in Alaska, as some persons would probably have you believe, if only for the reason that our church never meddles in politics and our clergy never busied itself at home or abroad with intrigues.” Ot+++44+4+4 | 8 | poned on a respondent of the Daily Mail says that | sequentl h por | nia authority | has under | Yuba River, | draulic mining, dustry jury to a l\' u) \u \.

This provides for the divers sion of the Yuba near the edee of-the foothills a few miles below Smartsville. The str quanties of sedi- ment would be ca ed from this point in a canal 200 feet in width, of adequate depth, along the south side of the Yuba, running southwesterly toward Reed’s Creek. The canal with its strong levees would gradually widen until it opened width and about fifteen miles in length. The storace area thus afforded would be capable of receiving hundreds of millions of cubic yards of debris from the mines. The water will not bs red, but will flow away into the | basin of the Bear and Feather rivers, practically freed from sediment, so as to be harmless to the streams below. Surveys for the canal and storage basin have been made, but estimates remain to be calculated. It is believed that the execution of this project will | relieve Marysville from maintaining levees along the Yuba, while it would grant immense relief to the farming community opposite that place and re- move one of the main sources of the sediment which is constantly tling in the Sacramento River and threatening the navigability of that stream. ary | into a storage basin several miles in| VICTINS OF GRIP AT THE CAPITAL Many Persons Are Now Afflicted. | It Is Estimated That Ten Per Cent of the District of Columbia’s Pop- ulation Is Suffering From the Malady.
