sKIRNIsHEs OF THE SOLDIERS.
The Spanish Continue Their Tactics
in Three of the Provinces.

i'm Three of the Provinces.
Havana, Jan. ia summary of the
military operations of the last twenty
four hours, according to official reports
just issued to-day, shows that the troops
are continuing their skirmishing tactics
in the provinces of Pinar del Rio, Havana
Matanzas and Santa Clara. The aggre-
gate losses of the rebels cannot be as
certained, but they left fifty-two of their
dead on the several fields of battle. The
losses of the troops were two officers and
fifteen privates wounded.
Capt. Gen. Weyler has ordered the be-
ginning of grinding in the Pinar del Rio
province, and is organizing forces for the
protection of the men engaged in the
work, to be paid by the owners of the
estates, abolishing the system of pay
ment by the state. The gathering of the
crop for grinding, according to the order,
will begin within eight days. The scope
of the order will later be extended to in
clude the provinces of Havana and Ma
tanzas and in the near future the order
will be put into effect in the province Of
Santa Clara.

MAcHIAs ORDERED TO BANGKOK.
An Attack Made on the Consul Gem
eraI by siamese Soldiers.

eEbl DY S1ame8e
Washington, Jan. 16.-The gunboat Ma
chias left Canton for Bangkok, Siam, this
morning in obedience to cabled orders
from Secretary Hefbert "to protect Amer
lean interests" The distance is about q
600 miles and the Machias should reach
her destination in about a week. The
state department declines to divulge the
character of information which it has re-
ceived from Bangkok which causes the
sudden dispatch of the warship to the
scene, but there is no doubt that an at
tack on United States Consul General
Edward B. Kellert by Siamese soldiers is
at the bottom of it,
Press dispatches three weeks ago an
nounced that Mr.. Kellert VINO is an I'M
paid official, appointed by Minister and
Consul General Barrett two years ago,
had been fired upon and wounded by
Siamese soldiers. It was impossible to
confirm this news at the state depart
ment at the time, but it was explained
there that Mr.. Kellert had a right to en-
gage in trade, and possibly some personal
affair of his own had led to his arrest by
local authorities. To-day it is learned
that for some time litigation has been in
progress over the estate of an American
named Chok, who held a valuable teak
concession from the Siamese government.
This had been highly remunerative dur
ing Chok's lifetime. but when, after his
death, it became desirable to wind up his
estate, the Siamese government stepped
in and took measures to prevent the sale
of number of elephants he had raised
and employed in getting out timber.
1t is also said that Kellert was the ex-
ecutor for the estate, or the agent of the
heirs, and his activity in their behalf had
probably led to friction with the Siamese
authorities, who perhaps overstepped the
usual legal methods in trying to get rid
of him. No American warship has been
to Bangkok for about seven years, and
while Minister Barrett has been we'll re-
ceived there, the Siamese have not had
as much respect for the American flag as
for that of either Great Britain or France.

Yankee is an American wife and a good
office. Wong is well educated in Chinese
and English. Nearly twenty years ago
he was more of a rara avis than he is
now, when Americanized Orientals are
numerous. Back in the eighties he al
ways figured as the mouthpiece of the
saffron Celestials in North America.
A big magazine once got up SYM
postum from distinguished thinkers OF
all religions on the reasons for their be-
lief. Wong Chin Foo contributed the
paper on Confucius' system. His set
ting forth of the claims of his religion
was so strongly made that it caused the
widest discussion. Since then Wong )
career has been on less lofty planes, and
in the precarious pursuit of bread he
has been mixed up in many peculiar
transactions. He has been bitterly de-
nounced by those of his own race who
claimed he had acted as spy on them.
Wong's denials of these accusations
were models Of ingenious exculpation.

Wong Kee of this city is the treasurer.
TIL chief work of the convention will
be to lay plans for securing the natural
izations of all Chinese who wish to be-
come citizens. Subscriptions will be
opened to engage several able lawyers
to prosecute this matter. Foo expects
to be able to harmonize the various
factions, but those who know the feel
ing between the Chinese Masons and
anti Masons will doubt the possibility of
it's accomplishment. The officers ex-
pect that between $50 and 200 delegates
will be present When Wong gets the
league moving smoothly he hopes to be
able to go to Washington and influence
national legislation, but some of his ene-
mics declare he is likely to initiate his
illustrious compatriot, All Sin, and have
card up his sleeve.

A HAWAIIAN MYSTERY

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30.-The fol-

Peru: Major s. A. Mulhauser of Cleve-
land, Ohio, who is here on q mission
which has been surrounded with mys-

here on the 22d by shooting himself in
the breast with a small revolver Des-
pite denials from Washington, Mulhau-
ser, in interviews printed by San Fran
cisco papers, claimed that he was COM
ing to Hawaii on a special mission on
behalf of President Mckinley. While
here Mulhauser denied the authenticity
of the interviews, but stated that his
father and Mark Hanna were warm per-
sonal friends, and that he was close to
Mckinley. He also professed to be con-
nected with several American papers,
and said he had accomplished much
work already. While a frequent caller
at the American legation and the gov
ernment building here, no one seems to
rXn5W his business.

a son of the late Samuel Muhlhauser, a
wealthy woolen mill owner. He was in
the insolvency court of this county, was
not a major, and was not connected with
the district attorneys office. He went
to the islands for his health, and the
stories about his political mission are set
down by his brother as newspaper fic-
