A FEDERAL CABLE
HOUSE COMMITTEE FAVORS
PASSAGE OF CORLISS BILL
GIVE C0VERN1VIENT FULL CHARGE
Advocates Ask Construction Opera
tion and Control by Nation Value
of Communication with Hawaiian
Islands inestimable
WASHINGTON Feb 17 The re
port to be filed today in the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce recommending the passage
of the bill providing for government
ownership of a Pacific cable says that
the United States by the annexation
of Hawaii and the acquisition of the
Philippines and other islands through
the ratification of the Paris treaty
assumed the responsibility of main
taining peace in the Pacific ocean
This obligation the report which was
prepared by Representative Corliss the
author of the bill says was deliber
ately undertaken by this country and
approved by the united voice of the
people It adds
The future peace and prosperity of
these islands will largely depend upon
the facilities extended by our govern
ment for the advancement and en
lightenment of the people there If
we are to continue In control of these
islands the people must be made to
understand the character and purpose
of our government and to feel the ben
efits of the enlightenment of civiliza
tion This can be accomplished through
the mediation of cable communica
tions The advancement of our own
people and the benefit of rapid com
munication through the telephone tel
graph and railway lines illustrate the
advantage and the progress that may
be achieved through cable messages
Regarding government ownership of
cables Mr Corliss says England for
fifty years has been constantly acquir
ing by purchase and construction ca
ble communication with her vast pos
sessions until she has expended up
wards of 100000000 for this purpose
and operates her own cables connect
ing her colonies England is now
constructing a Pacific cable from
Vancouver to Australia at a cost of
nearly 9000000 and in order to give
her tradesmen and manufacturers the
benefit of this communication at the
least possible expense has fixed a rate
of 2 shillings or 50 cents per word for
cable messages from Vancoucer to
New Zealand
France Germany and other na
tions are not sleeping upon their
rights as the people of the United
States have been comments Mr Cor
liss but are establishing government
telegraphic communication with their
respective possessions
I therefore contend that the Pa
cific cable should be owned controlled
and operated by the government of
the United States It should be made
by an American manufacturer laid by
an American ship under an American
flag and operated at actual cost for
the dissemination of knowledge the
proper direction of our army and navy
and the advancement of our trade and
commerce in the Pacific The trans
mission of communication should be
held by the state

SUCCESS OF GENERAL BELL
Said to Have Crushed Insurgents in
Batangas Province
MANILA Feb 17 General J
Francis Bell has practically cleared
up the Insurrection In Batangas prov
ince the troops under his command
having made a clean sweep of the
district It is not believed that all
the insurgent arms have been cap
tured or surrendered but that a num
ber of them have been taken by the
insurgents to other provinces or safe
ly hidden The increase of robber
bands in the provinces of Tayabas
and Cavlte show the effects of the
drastic measures adopted in Batan
gas and Laguna provinces
General Bell says the people of
these latter provinces never realized
the terrors of war until they person
ally experienced its hardships owing
to the closing of the ports and the
concentration of the natives in the
towns General Bell believes that
the insurgent leader Malavar is be
coming exceedingly unpopular with
the Filipinos and that when the na
tives cease to fear his venegance
many will be found willing to betray
him What has been said of Batan
gas applies almost equally to La
guna

Communication of Senator Dietrich
Regarding Experiment Stations
LINCOLN Neb Feb 17 The offi
cials of the department of labor and
industrial statistics are gratified at
the work of the real estate dealers in
their convention at Fremont but ex
press regret that wider publicity was
not given a communication from Sen
ator Dietrich who recommended the
organization of an experiment station
in connection with the state univer
sity for the purpose of investigating
and promoting irrigation It was the
intention of the department to have
this proposition submitted not only to
the convention but also to the people
of the state as well the hope being to
have public interest aroused in such
a way as might influence favorable
legislation
The senator explained in his com
munication that the federal govern
ment would materially assist any ef
fort of the kind that might be made
by the state said R A Hodge chief
clerk of the department His sug
gestion was that the convention should
take such steps as would influence
public sentiment in favor of such a
project Senator Dietrichs idea con
templated the establishment of exper
iment stations in different parts of the
semi arid region all to be under the
direction and supervision of the main
station at the university
