"Mr. Conger's last advices to
. . .
the State department claim that
cUcfnMv nrftwss ?q hP?no-
iv ,j i""o"" 1-
made by the ministers at Pekin
toward an arrangement of a
basis upon which negotiations
will bo Ijad with the government
for a final settlement.
"rue ministers nave pass.;
I mi i i
,on the question of punishments
,
tiations. The results have not
been made public. The Russian
minister is understood to be par
tjcipating actively in the discus
sions and the proceedings are
harmonious.
'The. understanding is that
when the ministers themselvos
have agreed on a program there
will be little difficulty in ecur
ing an acceptance by the Chi
neso government, which is in
deed powerless to offer serious
resistance to the united demands
of the powers."
Philippine Condition Bad.
London, Oct, 5. A special to
the Globe from Hong Kong says
that the situation in tho Philip
pines is unsatisfactory owing to
the failure of the Taft commis
sion to establish cordial relations
with the natives and inability to
organize municipalities except
by force. This failure is duoto
the obstinacy of the natives in
refusing to take tho oath of al
legiance to tho United States
Several towns in which mu
nicipal government was es
tablished have been burned
recently, and the natives
are manifestly " determined
to contiaue tho struggle indefi
nitely against the Americans.
The authority of the Americans
is strictly limited to the range of
their guns. Present conditions
in the islands are detrimental to
'trade, and the outlook is gloomy
'Unfortunately, " concludes the
dispatch, "Careful inquiry proves
that there is no justification for
Secretary ; Root's prediction that
the negotiations from Manila will
result in restoration of peace by
December. ' Present prospects
cannot 'with pandpr bo snid to
favpr -hopes of peace." .
