MAY" Bn RDTLT BEFORE LONG, ON
GREAT LAKES.
Washington, Dec., 27.—Secretary
Long stated In (his recent annual re-
port that negotiations were pending
between the United States ami Greit
Britain to overcome the treaty Inhibi-
tion against building warships on th"1
great lakes. It has transpired that the
negotiations to which the secretary of
the navy referred were those carri 1
on by the Joint high commission which
dealt with Canadian affairs. The Am-
erican members of that commission put
forward a plan of permitting the lake
ship yards to build warships, with the
understanding that the vessels would
not be fitted up and remain on the lakes
for naval service. This was accepted
by the British-Canadian offlc'als, with
the additional provision that the armor
should not be placed on the warships
unt)' after they btad reached salt wat
er. This provision woul 1 have been in-
corporated into the final agreement
had not -the commlss'on failed of an
agreement, because of the Alaskan
boundary trouble.

Prices are steady and th^re are no

have been made have been generally
at full prices. The wool trade antici-
pate a high range of values for n^xt

that attempts nre being mad" in seve-
ral sections of the v •-t to contract for
wool on the sheeps' hick. Indications
are that tho entire clip for next v ar

than was ever before known The

Manila., Doc. 27—10:15 p. m.—Colonel
iAH'kett with a force of 2500 attacked
this morning a strong force of Insur-
gents entrenched In the mountaimTnear
Montalbon, about five miles northeast
of Stan Mateo. The enemy were com-
pletely routed, the Americans pursuing
them through the hills, amid which
they fied in every direction.
Four Americans were wounded. The
Filipino loss was large, resulting from
a heavy Infantry and artillery fire for
three hours Into the trenches.
It Is supposed that the Insurgents
were those who were driven out of
San Mateo on the day General Lawton
was killed.
They numbered probably a thousand
A dozen lines of Insurgent trenches
covered the steep trail and likewise the
valley below, along which the Ameri-
cana passed. The main attacking party
consisted of the 4*th volunteer Infantry
a troop of cavalry nnd artillery, Col nel
Lockett commanding in person. The
rest of the command operated fro n •
mote points in an endeavor to carry out
Colonel Lockett's plan of throwing his
lines around the enemy and thus cutting
off retreat.
The nature of the mountainous coun-
try made it Impracticable to execute
this movement.
After the insurgents began to rim,
there was a vain attempt to use Infan-
try.
Whincjton, Dec 27.—Quartermaster
General Ludington received a cable
message today from Colonel Miller, of
the quartermasters department at Ma-

been made to send home the remains
of Major General Lawton, Major Jonn

Washington, Dec , 27.—The adjutant
general has received a copy of a a or-
der recently issued by Geenral Otis,
aiming at the suppression of bribery,
which. It is reported, has been exten-
sively practiced In the Philippines.
Geenral Otis says the persstqpee of
these reports, touching both the mili-
tary and civil service in the islands,
has forced him to the conclusion that
there may be some foundation for the
general charge. He cautions all the
commanding officers, heads of depart-
ment and others in authority, to probe
to the bottom any such reports that
may reach them and announces that
all offences of this nature will be sup-
pressed with a strong hand.

Washington, Dec. 27.—Attention to the
Bering sea controversy between the
United Siates and Great Britain has beon
renewed by the report of Mr. John M.
Morton, the United States agent on the
seal Islands, who has come on to submit
his report and confer with the authorities.
The essential point of the report 1«> that
the seal bends have diminished 20 per
cent within tho last year. When the
Boring sea negotiations were on last year,
the main contention of the United States
was that the herds were being po di-
minished by poaching that the animal
would become extinct at an early day.
Mr. Morton's report of a diminution of !
^0 p; * cent Is regarded as fully bearing!
out the contention, and It is taken aW<o |
as an Indication of the urgent need of
renew-h! nego latlons for the prevention
of pelagic s< tling.
The sealing question was one of those
under n gotlat! .r. before the Ang'o-Ameri-
can Joint commission and an adjustment ,
was in sight until the Alaskan boundary
presen.ed an obstruction which finally I
broke off all rcgo latlons and left the I
Bering sea question In abeyance. There1
have been no < potiatlons since.
