Has a Successful Trial Between De
troit and Cleveland
CLEVELAND March 21 Failure
of tho first attempt to use wireless
telegraphy on the lakes has been fol
lowed by success on the second trial
The steamer City of Detroit was tow
ed to a slip near the lake front where
there were no Intervening masts or
buildings and the exporlments repeat
ed Only those making tho experi

J V Toliff representative of the
originator of the system the latter be
ing at the station says that one of
the code words agreed upon had been
both aent to and received from De

lished the fact of communication and
that the experiments were successful

better weather conditions and partly
to a better adjustment of the appar

OTIS SAYS PEACE PREVAILS
When He Left Manila Civil Govern
ment Had Been Established
WASHINGTON March 10 MaJor
General Otis again appeared before
tho senate committee on tho Philip
pines today When he left the Phil
ippines In May 1900 General Otis
said that the army had disposed of
all of Aguinaldos army quiet pre
vailed during the months of May and
June and hardly a shot was fired
It was safe to go to all parts of Lu
zon and other islands and a very
largo trade had been established A
civil government had been set up also
the supreme court and courts of first
instance In seven of the nineteen
provinces of Luzon
General Otis answering a question
by Senator Culberson said he never
trusted native officers because they
were cruel to their men He said
he could trust their loyalty but they
treated their captives with too much
cruelty They wero as bad as tho in
surgents said he
When he left the Philippines he
said the war was over had ceased
Answering a question by Senator Hale
General Otis said he saw no difficulty
in withdrawing a material number of
troops from tho islands The native
forces he declared to be very neces
sary and he said there was no peace
in Manila until the native police was
effected General Otis said that when
he left Manila ho apprehended fur
ther trouble because there was a cer
tain element which dominated the ig
norant classes The great majority
however wanted peace No armed
bands of any importance he said
were opopsed to the United States at
that time
Asked by Senator Hale where the
supplies money arms etc of the in
surgents came from General Otis said
they received 2500 rifles from Admir
al Dewey and they also received from
Hong Kong certain arms shipped
aboard an American vessel which
landed at Batangas They had re
ceived some arms from Japan and had
captured some from the Spaniards at
small garrisons which they attacked
Ho said that the merchants gave him
more trouble than the insurgents
themselves
The troops of the United States ho
said had treated the Filipinos with
the greatest kindness Every state
ment of harsh treatment he heard of
had been investigated In fact said
he we were laughed at by the Span
iards and European army officers fo
the humanity we exercised
TO ANNUL WAR REVENUE ACT
Senate Committee Orders Favorable
Report on Bill
WASHINGTON March 19 The
senate committee on finance today con
cluded the consideration of the bill
repealing the war revenue act and au
thorised a favorable report on it The
bill is greatly changed in phraseology
and it is announced that it will prob
ably not be in shape to be reported be
fore tomorrow
The bill as it will be reported re
moves all the taxes of the war revenue
act and the only changes made are
those of language making sure of this
result
Among other things made in the lan
guage of the bill is one affecting the
rate on tobacco at C cents per pound
The delay in reporting the bill is oc
casioned by threats on the part of the
senators to offer amendments to the
bill and the desire to avoid that pos
sibility Senator Foraker has said
that he would represent a provision
for Cuban reciprocity This it is
known would arouse long debate and
the republican members of the financo
committe are exerting themselves to
prevent the offering of the amendment
Democratic senators generally express
themselves as willing to allow an un
conditional repeal bill to pass without
amendments
