bassador. the Austrian minister and the
Italian charge were the first to retire
coming away together. The Russian
charge was the next to leave. The Ger
man ambassador and his secretary then
had private conference with Judge Day.
At its conclusion the French amba ssador
and his secretary in turn had a confer
ence with Judge Day.
These conferences lasted fer about hal:
an hour. the several dip1omatists leaving
separately. Shortly afterwards judge
Day left the state department, declining
to say more than to refer inquiries to the
ambassadors address ana the reply of the
president.
RUSSIA CAUSED DELAY.
The action of the powers in presenting
the Joint note to President Mckinley was
to have occurred yesterday but was de-
ferred by delay at st. Petersburg. 1t
was not until o'clock yesterday after
noon that the Russion COVER nment cabled
its charge Instructions siruilar TO those
already given to the other representa-
tives. At 7 o'clock lost night a meeting
was held and the joint note formally sign
ed. it having been prepared at the meet
ing of the British embassy last night.
The note is in French and bears the
signatures of the represen !atives of the
six powers. The original note in French
was presented and IN doing so Sir Julian
Pauncefote stated TO the president that it
was given to him in this language with
the signatures, as French is the diplo-
matte language of the world. An English
translation not bearing ;he signatures &C
companied the original note and it was
this English translation which Sir Julian
Pauncefote read. The presidents answer
was not reduced to French.
EFFECT OF THE REPLY.
An inquiry at the several embassies
and legations showed that the reply Of
President Mckinley had created most
favora Bile impression among the ambassa-
doris and ministers. 1t was cabled imme-
dately to London, Paris ard ali the other
European capitals. The declaration of the
president that in the interest of human
ity this warfare must stCr and his in
direct appeal to them to exert their influ
ence in the name of humanity found
sympathetic reflection in the sentiments
of all the ambassadors and other repre-
sentatives.

regarded seriously. but the purpose of
the article is evidently to foment feeling

the civil governor of Madri has called
the attention of the officials to the mat
ter with a view to stopping the sale Of

quiet.

that General Woodford delivered no ulti-

THE PHILIPPINES WAR.

Vancouver, B. c., April From the
latest Hong Kong papers brought by the
Empress of Japan it is learned that there
have been very exciting times recently N
the Philippines, Spanish troops being sur
prised and massacred. The Boliaa staff
of the Eastern Extension Telegraph COM
pany were practically besieged fo- five
days on account of Spanish soldie-s TAX
ing refuge there. From a Spanish sun
boat a. detachment of marines were land
ed and the station was opened after
heavy firing between the station and the
rebel camps. Two days afterwards, the
British cruiser Edgar arrived. About the
same time General Monet ana 100 men
arrived overland. General Monet said he
had five engagements between Fo'lnao
and Lingayen. The insurgents suffered
heavy losses and the Spanish losses were
one lieutenant and one soldier. The gar
rison and priests of neighboring villages
had been killed. only six soldiefs manag-
ing to escape.
War is raging in the island OF Luzon and
is rapidly assuming as serious proportions
as the rebellion of 1861. Attacks were
made upon the Spanish quarters at Subig
and Apalit, the rebels capturing and car
rying off large quantities of ammunition.
All the northern provinces are affected.
The natives refuse the taxes. Many of
the rich natives and half-castes are dos
ing their business places and are prepar-
ing TO leave the islands. The provinces
of Zambales Tariac and Pangasinan are
in open revolt. News has just reached
Manila that the telegraph lines connect
