SULTAN SULU TREATY
New York, August 18. A cable
to tho Sun dated Cebu, August
18th, says: General John O.
Bates mot the Sultan of Sulu at
Mnlbun on Mynday to discus tho
now treaty between him and tho
United States.
This convention contains fifteen
articles, which aro based principil
ly on the Spanish treaties. The
treaty guarantees nou-intorforenco
with reliL'ioiiH ou-toms, Amoncan
protrction, and provide for Ame
rican sovereignty. Tho Sultan
opposed the articles requiring him
to fly tho American flag when
abroad and giving Americana the
right to occupy convenient points
r military purposes, Ou Mon
day Butes went to Miibnn ou tho
Charleston. Four American wo
men, who happened to bo visiting
nt Jolo, accompanied Bates. The
uatives regarded this as a distin-
s
guishing mark of American coufi-
lenco, suoh a
visit never having
been
mado
during tho Spanish
regime.
Tho conferonca was not finished
Monday, but when Bates returned
to the Charleston a conclusion had
been practically reached on nil
points except the flag question.
There i n small doubt, bowover,
of a successful ending of the ne
gotiations. There are two fao
tion of Moros, but both are friend
ly to tho Amorioans.
Otis' recent order blockading
all tho islands exoept tho ports of
Cebu and Iloilo is bsing enforced:
Two gunboats loft Cebu today to
order all shipping from the closed
ports.

Newport, R. I., Aug. 19. Capt.
Woodbury Kane said last night
that it was practically Bottled that
tho first trial race for thn Columbia
will take place off Nowport on
Soptember 10th
Mr. Iselin, of the Columbia, it
was learnod, feols that ho has no
time whatever to spare, which is
one of the most important reasons
for holding tho trial races off New
port. Iu fact, every miuuto is
now needed iu getting the Colum
bin'b now mast in, tenting it, and
otherwise gettiug tho boat iu thnr-
nuch racing trim. Besides, tho
Newport course o flora all the ad
vantages needed for a trial raco at
least.
It was also learnod there will bo
some iuformal races bntwoeu Col
umbia aud Defender off Newport
after tho trial rnco, by way of
tuning up the crack Bloops. Iu
fact, it can bo safely said that tho
Columbia will not Im seon at New

All hor tuning up will, therofore,
