LONDON, Aug. 27.-The Times this morn
ing, referring editorially to the American
peace commission, says: THE commission
is strong in personnel and in policy and
must be taken to represent President Nc
Kinleys concurrence in the inclination OF
the Republican party towards a policy of
colonial expansion. The nomination or Mr..
White may be due to the Presidents re-
solve not to ignore the interests and sus-
capabilities of the Church of Rome in the
final settlement of the Philippines. If it be
true that President Mckinley is, as he
seems to be, resolved to hold something
more than Manila, the logic of the situation
will probably lead him in the end to the oc-
cupation of the whole archipelago. More
over, bereft Of Manila the Philippines
would obviously be nothing but costly
burden, which Spain would soon probably
attempt to relieve herself of in a manner
little acceptable to the United States, espe-
cially looking to the immense war bill Spain
has to pay and the absolute necessity for
retrenchment."

British consul at Kiung Chau- Heinan has
asked the American consul at Canton to
urge the viceroy to send soldiers to Nodea,
near Hollow. to protect the lives and prop
erty of American missionaries there who
have been obliged to flee for their lives
from Nodea and seek the protection of the
British consul at Hollow. To-day the
American consul at Canton notified the
viceroy of the state of affairs and requested
him to Immediately telegraph peremptory
orders TO the officials of the disturbed dis
trict to disperse the rioters and protect the
lives and property of the Americans.
Reports just received from Hainen indi-
cate renewed successes on the part of the
Triad Society who. strengthened by a
horde of pirates. looted and burned a num-
Der of villages in the Hollow district on

Col. Studebaker's Regiment Receives
Orders to Move.

Correspondence of the Journal.
FERNANDINA, Fla, Headquarters of
the Observation-Disclosures Indiana
Volunteers, Aug 26.-Great joy prevails in
Colonel Studebaker's regiment this after
noon Orders have been received directing
the Observation-Disclosures d-fifty-seventh Regi-
ment to prepare to move to Huntsville Ala,
at once. The transportation is ready and by
tomorrow night the men will be on the
way. The men are very glad to get further
north to q healthier location. The number
of men reporting at sick call in the morn
ing is about the same as usual, running
from 175 to 25O every day. Major Surgeon
W. w. Barnett is doing everything in his
power to provide for the comfort of the
SICK who are receiving the best attention
possible. Patients in the hospital are con-
valescing.
This morning First Lieutenant T. Frank
Kemery, Sergeant F. P. Brewer and Pri-
vate Eugene Carrick made a fishing excur-
sion to Amelia river. Lieutenant Kemery
was fishing with a trout line and finally
hooked monster that proved to be a sand
shark. They took it to Old Fernandina and
it was found that the shark weighed forty
seven pounds and measured five feet in
length.
Last evening a vaudeville performance
was held under the canopy of Southern
skies in this regiment. Promptly at 1880
o'clock the entertainment was opened by
the regimental band giving an overture and
march. Private Delbert Brewer. of Company
K, sang popular song which took the
audience by storm, and was followed by
Private William Kayser, of Company G,
who is noted as a good singer. Privates
Lewis Goodrich and Delbert Brewer were
the next on the programme. Private Brewer
played the banjo and mouth harp and Pri-
vate Goodrich gave a clog dance. They
both proficient and were encored. Pri-
vate Charles Foltz, of Company K, amused
the audience with songs and jokes Private
Francis De Frame, of Company b. made
the hit of the evening. He impersonated
Dutchman who had just come from over
the Rhine" He created continuous laughter.
A quartet composed of Privates Bay Van
Auken, Dan Yingling and Charles Foltz, of
Company K and Emanuel Budd, sang a
popular song. The vaudeville performance
was due to the efforts Of First Lieutenant
John B. Fonner, of Company b. Fort
Wayne, who made all the arrangements.
Captain James F. Lahnum. who has been
i'll, is convalescing. Twenty-one sick pa
tients Of this regiment were taken to divis-
ion hospital this noon. The move was made
by order of the division surgeon, who in
sisted that they be sent there. The steamer
Olivette will transport men from various
regiments in the division hospital that
are well to the North. The regimental
hospital is now entirely vacated, the other
sick being in quarters. B. ]. L.

VIEWED AS A FAIRY TALE.
RumOr that Lord BeresfOrd Will Eff
feet an AngIO-Japanese Alliance.


LONDON, Aug. 26.-The London corre-
spondent of the Paris Patrie informs his
paper that the special mission of Rear Adj
miral Lord Charles Beresford to China, in
the interests of British commerce. includes
'the conclusion of an offensive and defens-
i've alliance between Great Britain and
Japan, by the terms of which, in case of
complications with Russia, Japan under
takes to invade Corea and to place the Jap
anese fleet at the disposal of the British adj
miral" According to the same most ques-
tionable authority, Lord Beresford has been
furnished with the means necessary to
cause the downfall of Prince Lii Hung
Chang, and is also "the bearer of an auto
graph letter from Queen Victoria to the
Empress Dowager of China" All this is re-
garded in London as utterly improbable
but is fair sample of the fairy tales in
circulation regarding affairs in the far East
With reference to the dispatch sent from
Shanghai yesterday to a local news agency
asserting that the entire available British
fleet in Chinese waters had arrived at
Wei-Hai-Wei to support the demands of the
British minister at Peking, Sir Claude Nc
Donald of the Admiralty, explained that no
special significance whatever is attached to
the movement. The squadrons left Wei
Hai-Wei on July % on the annual cruise,
calling at Port Hamilton, in the Strait of
Corea, and at several Japanese ports They
then returned to Wei-Hai-Wei in the ordi-
nary course.
All the information obtainable tends to
show that the dispatch sent here from New
York to-day confirming yesterdays cable
gram that England has been preparing for
a naval demonstration in the event of grave
Anglo Russian complications is merely gos-
sip. The London newspapers and diplomats
ridicule the statements made, and say that
apparently there is no specific Anglo-Rus
sian issue at present on which ultimatums
and naval demonstrations such as men
toned could be based.
The Copenhagen correspondent of the
Daily Mail asserts that he is in a position
TO confirm the statement he recently made
that compromise has been arrived at be-
tween England and Russia, in accordance
with which Russia gets her way on the
railway questions and England gets con-
cessions in other directions. THE rela-

shook the Hero's Hand.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26.-Admiral
Schley passed through this city this after
noon on a Pennsylvania Railroad train en-
route from New York to Washington. Dur
ing the few minutes the admiral was in the
Broad-street station a number of railroad
employees and others crowded around him
and greeted him enthusiastically. All were
anxious to shake the hand of the hero. But
some of the engineers and firemen hesitated
about offering their hands, saying they were
too much soiled. THAT makes no differ
ence." said the admiral, and all were given
a hearty shake

THE souDAN CAMPAIGN.
Advancing Towards
the DerYish Forces.

WADY HAMED, Aug. 26-Yesterday the
gunboats with the Anglo Egyptian expedi-
ton seized the Island of Gib-el-Royan, op-
posite FL Hair, about forty miles north of
Omdurman, the capital of the khalifa. The
island will be used as an advance depot
for stores.
The Anglo Egyptian forces began to ad-
vance yesterday, moving in five parallel
columns at deploying distance They were
led by Jaalin guides and by bands of pipers,
who were playing. 1t was an imposing
spectacle. The friendly natives on the op-
posite bank of the Nile ndulged in delighted
war dances. The camp is now wilderness
of broken biscuit boxes and other rubbish.
The Dervish scouts are active and it is
rumored that there is a Dervish force on
the right bank of the river under command
of the Emirs Ziki and Wadbishara. 1t is
also reported that the Khalif is preparing
to make a stand at Kerreri, seven miles
north of Omdurman. and will defend the
Mahdi's tomb to the last.

ments you have been so good as to express
on the occasion of the anniversary of our
visit on board the Pothuau. We like to re-
vert in our thoughts to those historic mo-

Correspondence of the Journal.
LEXINGTON. KY, with the One-hundred-
and-sixtieth Indiana Volunteers, Aug 26.-
Indiscreet soldiers in the Northumberland
sixtieth receive no sympathy. At the hospi-
tai the orders are that certain troubles
shall not be treated at the government ex-
pense. There are several cases in the regi-
ment that should have attention. In the
name of humanity this ministration should
be made. and 1t is said that death will result
in one case at least unless something is at
once done. A soldier lies In a shelter tent,
outside the lines, uncared for and alone. He
writhes in the agonies of terrible disease,
and its stages develop rapidly toward the
period that tells of dissolution. His COM
rades fear TO allow his presence in the COM
pany street. and he is apparently without
friends or hope. No medical attention is
given him, or, at least that is the story of
his comrades. He has been visited by off,

the calls at his stony couch.

sidered and Revised.

Associated Press Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The Cabinet
was in session two hours to-day and de-
voted large share of the time to matters
which will come before the peace commits
sion. At the adjournment of the meeting
Secretary Day announced that four mem
bers of the commission had been selected: !:
Secretary Day, Senator's Davis and Frye
and Mr.. Whitelaw Reid. AS to the fifth
