Terrible Atrocities Committed by tho
Rebels.
San Francisco, Dec. 15.-Oriental
adivces are that terrible atrocities have
occurred in Formosa. Two hundred
rebels recently attacked village. sur
prising the people and looting the
place. They burned 81 houses. A Jap
anese police inspector and six consta-
bles persisted in repelling the attack.
Ore constable was captured alive. The
insurgents fastened on his neck the
bloody heads of his companions and
drove him before them into the woods.
Reinforcements were sent to the vii.
lage, where the mutilated bodies OF the
victims were found. One constable,
who escaped, killed his own wife and
child with his Japanese sword to pre-
vent them from becoming captives- He
was then killed by the savages.
There is much disquietude among
the inhabitants of Hankow since the
recent FIRE, in which 1, 1000 people lost
their lives. Several smaller fires have
occurred since, all believed to be the
work OF incendiaries. The Shanghai
Daily Press says FIVE Chinese were
caught in the act of igniting as many
dwelIings. They were thrown into the
flames and burned alive.

MExlco's OFFER TO SPAIN.
Colonization Scheme That Will Benefit
Both Parties.

Colonization Scheme That Will Benefit
Both Parties.
New York. Dec. ia dispatch to
the Press from Washington says: The
Mexican government has submitted a
colonization project 70 the Spanish au-
thorities in Havana, by which it pro-
poses not only to aid the Spanish gov
eminent, but to give great assistance as
we'll to the Spanish soldiers who have
served in Cuban warfare and are soon
to evacuate Cuba.
The proposition of the Mexican gov
eminent is to organize bands among
the Spanish soldiers and provide them
with free passage to Mexico. where
necessary tools, seeds and implements
for agricultural work will be furnished,
and in addition oxen and small houses
will be given to the immigrants and a
certain tract of the public lands in
Mexico will be provided for colonial
ton purposes.
The government, in turn, is to take
lien upon the products, ard exact a
return of 20 per cent each year until
the supplies are paid fol by the colo
nists, after which the lands will be-
come their own.
For those who do not care to accept
this proposition, arrangements have
been made by the government of Mex
leo to supply large number of Span
ish soldiers with labor on the public
works and in the mines, at the rate of
SIS month.

EXPANSION OPPOSED.



Philippines.
Washington, Dec. Discussion OF
two questions. each Of importance and
interest at this session, was begun by
the senate at its session today. Terri
torial expansion and the construction Of
the Nicaragua canal occupied the atten-
ton OF the body during the greater part
of the afternoon.
As soon as the routine morning BUSH
ness had been disposed of, Mr.. Vest
dem. MOI called up his resolution
offered last week, declaring IL to be nm
constitutional for this government to
acquire foreign territory except for coal
ing stations or some like purpose, nm.
less its intention was to confer state
hood upon the territory and citizen
ship upon it's inhabitants. Mr.. Vest
declared it was basic principle Of this
government that the powers Of the
government were derived from the con-
sent of the governed" and maintained
that the federal government had no
authority-either in morals or in the
constitution-to 60 beyond that princi-
pie. He held that the principle had
been sustained by the supreme court in
various decisions, and that no public
man of prominence and no recognized
tribunal had ever been reckless enough
to controvert it.
Mr.. Morgan opened the debate on the
canal bill with three hours appeal
for action at this session. The whole
country, he said, would be disappoint-
ed il congress did not act. He was
willing to take any measure which
would result in the building Of the
canal. In the course Of his remarks,
he agreed to accept an amendment spe-
officially excepting the canal from neu-
trality with regards to any country
with which the United States might
be at war.

TO RELIEVE VOLUNTEERS.
Six Regiments Designated for servica
at Manila.

at Manila.
Washington, Dec. 14.-The war de-
rartment has begun in earnest the re-.
lief of the volunteer troops now sta
toned at Manila by regulars. This
afternoon Secretary Alger signed an
order designating for this purpose six
regiments of the United States infantry
out of eight held in reserve for service
to tropical countries. The regiments
are the Twentieth, at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kan; the Third. at Fort SHELL
ing, Mimi; the Twelfth, at Jefferson
barracks, Mo-. and Fort Riley. Kan;
the Seventeenth, at Columbus barracks,
o.; the Fourth, at Fort Sheridan, and
the Twenty-second. at Fort Crook, Neb.
They will 60 forward to Manila as
soon as the transportation can be pro-
vided. It may be that the two regi-
ments still held in reserve, the Twenty
fourth and the Twenty-fifth infantry,
will join the others before they sail.
These regiments were selected in the
reverse ratio to the loss sustained by
them in the Cuban campaign. The
volunteers in Manila will be retired in
tie order in which they reached that
city.
