American Treatment of Insugents
Very Lenlent—Known Rebel Sym-
pathizers Allowed Access to
Manila and Kept In Power.

MANILA, Sept. 8.—Captain Butler,

with three companies of the Third infan-'

try, a detachment of cavalry and one
gun, while upon a rcconnoissance, met a
body of rebels at San Rafael.

The Americans scattered the enemy
and captured seven prisoners. five rifles
and 300 rounds of ammunition. They
also destroyed the ricestored in' seven
warehouses.

The rebels are supposed to belong to
the command of General Pio del Pilar,
who, with his main force. retreated to
the north.

The reconnoissance will be continued,
following the rebels toward Maasin.

The United States transport Newport
will convey to the United States the
Eighteenth and last company of the sig-
nal corps volunteers, the Nevada cavalry
and various discharged soldiers.

A small detachment of Filipinos makes

demonstrations nightly around Imus, fir-‘

ing volleys upon the American outposts.

The Americans have thus far not re-
plied, except on Tuesday night, when two
companies of the Fourth infantry sallicd
out and fired two volleys in the direction
of the disturbcrs, who disappeared imme-
diately.

The secret service has learned that
Aguinaldo has preferred charges against
the general commanding in th avite
province for failing to obey an order to
attack Imus.

The Americans treat the Filipinos
more like fractious children than ene-
mies. Proofs have been obtained that the
mayor and five members of the council
are active insurgent sympathizers, and
many insurgent soldiers are visiting the
town in disguise.

There is no desire to stop them, how-
ever, as it is thought that a. display of the
American resources and the efforts to
give the Filipinos a good government will
have a beneficial effect.

THE PHILIPPINE INSURRECTIQN

 

President Schurmau 5110va the Ex
act Situation In the Islands.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8,—President
Schurman of the Philippine commission
called at the state department yesterday
to say goodby before leaving fer Ithaca,
N. Y. He has undoubtedly 'made a deep
impression upon the officials of the ad‘
ministration by his statements relfiive tr,
affairs in the Philippines when he left.
His optimistic views have convinced
some of the leading oficials at least that
the end of the war in the Philippines is
in sight. Ode of the arguments which he
used tofi'support this belief was a chart of

‘ the Philippine group. On this the various

races populating the islands were graph-
ically set out in colors.

The significant feature is the small
showing made by the Tagals. Not only
does the chart show that this tribe forms
but a small portion of the total popula'
tion of the Philippines, but it appears
that the Tagals in insurrection against
the United States constitute only a por-
tion of the tribe, and that whole prov-
inces in Luzon, notably at the northern
extremity of the island, are either friend.
ly to the United States or at least neu-
tral.

Farewell to Missionaries.

BOSTON, Sept. 8.-At 2 o’clock yes-
terday afternoon a farewell meeting to
missionaries of the American board was
held in Pilgrim hall. Some of these mis-
sionaries are returning to their fields, and
others are going out for the first time
Rev. Judson Smith, D. D., secretary oi
the foreign departments, presided and in-
troduced the missionaries belonging to his
department; The remaining missionaries
were introduced by Rev. James L. Bar-
ton, D. D., also foreign secretary. Rev.
Cyrus Hamlin, D. D., a veteran mission-
ary of the board, was seated on the plat-
form. Brief addresses were made by the
missionaries themselves.

Tracy Begins His Argument.

PARIS, Sept. 8.—-General Benjamin
F. Tracy, before the Anglo-Venezuelan
boundary arbitration commission yester-
day, took up his argument in behalf of
the Venezuela case, devoting the greater
part of the day to a discussion of the in-
ternational rules relating to the rights of
discovery. He claimed that Spain had
satisfied all the requirements and that
the Orinoco and Amazon inclosed the
ancient province of Spain. The commis-
sion. then adjourned until Monday.

Horses and Mules For Manilm

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—-The quar-

termaster’s department has landed 630.

WAR CLOUD THICKENS.
Criti-

 

England’s Actions Harshly
' cised by the Boers.

PRETORIA, Sept. 8.—There was
great excitement in the first raad yester.
day on Mr. Coetser’s interpellation of the.
government regarding the presence of
British troops on the borders and the
stoppage of ammunition consigned to the
Transvaal.

President Kruger, the members of the
executive council and most of the princi-
pal oflicials were present. together with
a large representation of the general pub-
lic, including many ladies.

At the outset the chairman and presi-
dent urged members to preserve calmness
and to avoid insulting language.

The state secretary, Mr. F. W. Reitz,
said he had called the previous day on
the British diplomatic agent, Mr. Con.
yngham Greene, and had asked him what
reply the government could give in the
volksraad regarding the alleged massing
of British troops on the borders and
whether Mr. Greene would communicate
with the British high commissioner, Sir
Alfred Miluer. The reply from Mr.
Greene, he continued, had been received
and was in 'the following terms:

“The following is Sir Alfred Milner’s
reply to the telegram which I sent him at
your request:

“ ‘I don’t know to what Mr. Reitz re-
fers when he alludes to the massing of
troops. This must be the British troops
in South Africa, the positidu and num-
bers of which are no secret, but it is a
matter of common knowledge that they
are here in order to protect British inter-
ests and to make provision against event-
ualities.’ ”

Mr. Coetser and other members then
made violent speeches, declaring that
they could not" understand Sir Alfred
Milner’s reply, since the Transvaal had
never threatened the English colonies.

“It is time,” exclaimed Mr. Coetser,
“for the' Transvaal also to prepare for
cventualities.”

One member said:

“England’s action is like putting a re-
volver into a man’s face.”

Another concluded a warlike harangue
in this strain:

“It is time to send our burghers to the
borders to ask these troops what they
want. The fire is bound to start. So let
them light "it and allow it to burn out
quickly. “far is better than the present
state of affairs. Business is ruined and
the public treasury is drying up Cham-
berlain is trying to ruin the country.”

These speeches and others attacking
Cecil Rhodes were loudly applauded by
the house and by the public. The debate
is proceeding.

President Kruger, rising, said:

“The aliens have been offered equal
rights with the burghers, but have re-
fused them. Mt, Chamberlain is striving
to get the franchise, which the uitlanders
do not want, but what he really desires
is the possession of the Transvaal. The
burghers are willing to concede much fer
the sake‘of peace, but will never sacrifice
their independence."

After eulogizing MnuGladstone’s action
of retroeession in 1881 as a noble deed
President Kruger said that if it now
came to fighting the Almighty would be
the arbiter. He urged the members Of
the rand to show moderation, reminding
them that the reply from Mr. Chamber
lain was en route and-,pointing out that
if the proposal for a commission were
agreed to the republic would send dele-
gates to further discuss matters and it
possible to make peace.

ATLANTA, Sept. 8.-—Governor Can-
dler’s minute men, a company of 109,

A FEARFUL VISITATIDN.

 

The Recent \Vest India Hurricane
4 One of the VVorst on Record.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sept. T.—.~\Iails

from the Leeward islands bring full de.

tails of the recent cyclone. These indi-
cate that both in the aspects of fatality.
and destruction of property it was one of
the worst visitations of the sort recorded
in “Test Indian history.

Besides Porto Rico practically all the
Lesser Antilles, from Dominica to St.
Croix, suffered. The island of Montser-
rat‘su-fi‘ered even more than Porto Rico
and was absolutely wrecked from end to
and. It has no recuperative vitality.

_ Owing to the existence of that peculiarly

“'est Indian institution, the “hurricane
Cella-I',”.the loss of life was incredibly
small in proportion to the devastation.
Up to latest advices, dated Aug. 12, un-
der 100 deaths were officially announc-
ed, although the total was feared to be
actually somewhat higher than that.
The proportion was very small in view of
the fact that there were only 30 houses
left standing on the whole island outside
the town of Plymouth, which itself rev
tained not above two in ten of its houses
intact.

A private letter from Plymouth says:

“This place is in ‘an awful state—a
complete smashup. Every church in the
island has been blown flat. All the coun-
try villages have been blown clear away.
From St. John’s, in the north, to town
there are not six houses standing. An-
tigua also reports considerable damage to
small houses and on the sugar estates,
but more widespread than, severe. Other
Leeward islands .suffered‘more severely
than Antigua, but comparatively less
than Montserrat. Besides Guadeloupe
and Porto Rico, minica, St. Kitts,
Nevis, St. Eustatiu , Anguilla and the
British Virgin islands as well as the
Danish report much damage and some
loss of life.

It is of interest to note that West In-
dian history mentions 200 cyclones, of
which 15 approximate but do not appar-
ently quite equal that of this year, ex
cent the one in 1780.

 

military Tournament In Canada.

MONTREAL, Sept. 7.—Tbere is to bl
held a grand international military tour-
nament in Montreal next-September, to
which all military organiiaticns from the
United States and Great Britain and the
latter’s possessions are to be invited. It
is expected that there will be 10,000
troops here. e affair will be under the
management 0 Colonel Ward of the at-
my service corps. The Canadian govern-
ment is to look after the transportation.
and a guarantee fund is now being raised
by the local military organization.

 

Infant Fatally Scalded.

ROCHESTER, Sept. 7.—-Camile, the
18-month—old daughter of Antonio Ro-
nione, slipped from her mother’s arms
into a pot of' boiling tomatoes yesterday
morning and was so badly scalded that
the physician thinks she will die. The
mother was carrying the babe in her
