Opposing Wheaton.
Manila, June 20. General "Wheaton
"occupied Perez das Marianas today af
ter slight .opposition 'The town was
found: deserted. It is: a miserable,.
worthless village, mirrounded - by
swamps and it is not deemed advUsablet
to hold it. Wheaton goes to Buena

the insurgents have re-established the
arsenal ami powder mill they removed
from Imuis. reconnoiissajiee will
probably be neceissary to devel'opt the
enemy's position. .
The. reconcentration of the insur
gents furnished anoithef' proof of their
remarkable recuperative powers", and
Wheaton has practically ' the entire
Filipino" army in Cavite province op
posing him. The country south of Imus
is composed of rice field, sloughs and
bamboo swamps, making it difficult
for Americans to cover, though com
paratively "easy for the Filipinos.
WHEATON COMPLIMENTED.

olina bank yesterday, and on soliciting
information to the nreseratJetatna nt
the bank, Mr. Smathers; said that at
the tlme: making ; bis; reports to the
court on the 17th of March lait, that
there was due toseveral; creditors, in
cluding judgments taken -on the 12th
.and 13th of October, 1897," about $5500fl,
and' to ail .other creditore exclusive of
Btockholdeys the sum of $92,000.
Of

funds available to pay $5,000 . to the
holders of receivere's certificates
ii?sued to take oip the deben
ture' bonds, which sum will
be paid as soon as these certificates are
presented for payment. The Indebted
ness to the general creditors has shown
reduced by offset and otherwise to the-
extent of about $6,000.
Mr. Smathers say&, he will make his
report to the" next term of .the superior
court, when all creditors will ., be able
to see the prospects of the bank's busi
ness. Mr. SmatheVs 'still thinks the
bank will be able to pay at least 50
per cent, to all creditors, but - on ac
count of the uncertainty- as to when
he will be able J;o realize on the assets
of the! bank, which, consists very-largely
of real estate, he cannot give an idea
as to when he will be in a position to
declare a dividend. There has been, a
better demand for real estate. and Mr.
Smathers has; come within from 10 to
20 per cent, of the price asked of selling
several large farms, and thinks he will
be able To 6ell considerable real estate
during the coming summer, fall and
winter; -
.Mr. Smathers further gave the in
formation that as the secured claims
against the bank are paid, and Which
retires all the outstanding receivers'

Solution of the Problem Offered by
a Georgia Han.
Washingtton, June 20. J. Pfclk BroWn,
president of the State Agricultural so
ciety of Georgia, was a witness today
before the industrial commission.
Brown thought the condition of the
southern farmer .deplorable, due to the
national banking system. In order Jt
puit 'in crops after the civil war, south
ern farmers were unable to borrow
money on. land and were compelled to
give ldens on their cotton crops. In
consequence they fell into the habit of
raising, cotton, and although cotton ha
decreased In value steadily, it is the
only crop they raise. The presence of
the negro, he thought, was a great
drawback to agriculture in the south.
Corrgress ought to appropriate $300,
000,000 for the purpose of colonizing the
negroes in' some bther country, and
spoke of the success bf the' Fitzgerald
colony In Georgia.

son's Account
of the Conversa
tion When the Loop Was JMad
by the Brooklyn at
Santiago.
Statement Differs Somewhat
From Previous fie-
. ports.
Still Avers, Hoever, That the News
paper Report of the Conversation r
WaS Substantially Correct.
Washington,, June 20. The navy de
partment has given out a report made
by Captain Chadwick on the question;
involved in the controversy hPtro.n
Lieutenant Commander
iLieutenant Commander Heilne-r- con
cerning the question of veracity that
ha arisen between them over Heilner's
assertion, on Hodgson's authority, that
Admiral Schley did make use of the
language attributed' to him in connec- .
tion with his order for the peculiar loop
which the Brooklyn executed in-.the
najcal' engagement off Santiago on July
3; 1898. The report contains' the state
ment made by Hodgson, . but that made
by Heilner is ot made public. Capttaln
Chadwick's report is as follows:
"In obedience to yoirr order of tlfe
12th instant, 1 have to report this as
the statement by Lieuitenant Com
mander Hodgson "jof the conversation
between Rear Admiral Schley and him
self during the action of July 3, 1898.
He states as follows: .
" 'As we were approaching the Span
ish .ships, I heard Admiral Schley say
port or starboard several times to Cap
tain Cook in the conning tower, the
admiral being on- the platform sur
rounding the conning tower. I had
been on the bridge above "and was just
coming down to report the position of"
the ships when I heard the admiral
say,. "Hard aport." The Maria Teresa
was then hauling abaft our port beam.
The Brooklyn was heading about north
east. " 'I told the admiral, or. at least sug- -gested
to him, that-the Texas was very
close to our starboard hand and that
turning to starboard would bring ua...
too close to her. I don't know, that I
used the word "collision." I 'did not,
say "you mean starboard." I intended,
him to understand that there was dan-i1'
ger of running into the Texas. He
said: "All right," or words to that ef
fect, which I cannot repeat verbatim.
When I knew he was, going to.turn to
starboard, I suggested backing the
starboard engine in' order to make al
smaller circle, and In order to give the
Texas a wider, berth. He decided
against that as decreasing the speed of
the-turn. He did not say, tnat 1 Know
of, "we are near 'enough to them (the
Spaniards) already."
"The only thing I gathered from what
he said was that If we turned to port
we 'should set so close that we should
expose ourselves to torpedo attacks. I
supposed he meant torpedo boats and
replied to him that I had not seen
them.' . . -
"Lieut -Commander Hodgron states
that he did not Intend to convey in his
note of denial sent at the request of Ad
miral Schley and published in the Wash
ington Post, tberidea that no such, col
loquy took place. He states regarding
(this as follows: -
" 'Admiral Schley wrote me enclosing
sm editorial front a New York paper (of
June 1st) asking me to write a denial
f what he phased 'an oft-repeated cal- ,
umny. He said be had no recollection
of any such conversation. I wrote a
