SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22.-Ihe United
States transport steamer China arrived to-
day from Manila Via Hoaghong NagasakI
and Kobe. She brought with her as pas
sengera several distinguished military and
naval men. besides several noted journal
.sts and TWO representatives OF the provi-
sional government of the Philippines. who

peace commission. The F1iipinos are nam
ed Fillpi Agoncillo and Jose Lopez, the
former being Aguinaldo's chief EN- ssary.
In an interview with an Associated Press
representative. he said that the insurgents
fully expected TO be- allowed 10 govern
themselves. and even limited that sonle sort
of an agreement had been made with the
United States consul. Wildman. regarding

that ne expected definite instructions from

fused 10 give the slightest hint OF any he
might have already received. The FIJI
pinos are very shrewd and speak English
tiuentiy.
A passenger on the China disclosed some
further information regarding the reported
agreement between Wildman and the in
sgrgenis He said:
''Wiidman promised Aguinald2 that the
American forces would combine with the
insurgents for the purpose Of driving the

Appalling LOSa OF Life

CUBA, Mo-, July "a courier from

that the town had almost been wiped

AS soon as the news was received a
relief party started for the stricken
town. The town was in ruins. Few
buildings were left standing, and
groans of anguish were heard on all
sides as searchers sought for loved
ones among the debris, The water
spout occurred outside the town, but
swelled Yadkin creek, which came
down in mighty and destructive
flood, sweeping all beforeit. Thirteen
bodies had been recovered, but it is
thought more have persisted. Steel.

LA, BoURGOGNE's SURVIVORS.
They Are Taken From Halifax to BostOn-.
Lat Shows $50 Peraons Lost aud
IO4 Persons Saved.

Boston, July 9.-The Plant line
steamer Halifax has arrived here hay
ing on board 1852 survivors of the
French line steamer La Bourgogne,
which was sunk in collision with the
ship Cromartyshire, Off Sable island,
last Monday, On the passage from
Halifax La Bourgogne's passenger list
was carefully revised and 1t was shown
that there were ia souls on board the
steamer, of whom $50 were lost and
1874 saved. OF the saved - were second
class, Al Storage and the remaining
10b were members of the crew, The
correspondent of the Associated press
who took passage on the Halifax for
the purpose of learning from the sur
vlvors more of the details OF the disas-
ter than had been possible in the short
time between their arrival at Halifax
and their departure for New York,
during the trip to Boston had oppor-
tunity to come in contact with very
many of those who escaped. Their
stories of experience were thrilling,
and many of them gave horrifying de-
tails of brutality, If not of murder,
possibly never equaled in the history
of the merchant marine.
