THE ROADS ARE FEARFUL.

Operations of Gen. Schvnn's Column
in the Philippines.
San Francisco de Malabon, Philippines,
Oct 1L-Gen. Schwan's column, approach
ing this town, marched through country
so muddy that the mules all collapsed. He
occupied the town without fighting, the
insurgents retreating under cover of the
creek beds.
Later, reconnoitering in force southwark,
Gen. Schwan came upon trenches. where
hidden insurgents poured several volleys
upon the general and his staff The rebels
resisted sIubbornly. The reconnoiterers,
consisting of Capt. Geary's battalion of
the Thirteenth Regiment and two guns of
Riley'S battery, drove the insurgents two
mes, fighting all the way. They found
a field piece and several wounded and sick
Filfpinos flying red flags and captured
twenty-five insurgents, including three Of
ficers. Many Filipino dead were strewn
along the fed.
Gen SchWan's main column started at
daylight this morning along a fearful road
on the left bank of the river, fiankers be-
ing thrown far out, and Maj. Budd's bat
TALON on the right bank, covering the
flank rendering the fire from the insur-
gent trenches ineffective.
Mai Budd returned to Santa Cruz be-
fore dark. The natives seem to be gem
orally supporters of the insurrection, but
few have arms There was much firing at
American soldiers from the native huts.
Gen. Schwan spent the night at Malabon.

WILL REPRESENT ENGLAND.
United States COnsuls Are to Do So
in Case of War.

Washington, Oct. LIT is practically
settled that the United States will look aft
er the interests of Great Britain in the
Transvaal in the event of war. Although
Great Britain had made no forma. request
for such action on the part of the United
States up to a late hour this afternoon, 1T
is believed that there is a perfect under
standing to that effect between the repre-
sentatives of the two governments.
Mr.. Tower, the British charge d'affaires,
had another conference with Secretary
Mill at the state department to-day at
which it is believed an understanding was
reached that the United States would look
after British interests in the Transvaal in
case the withdrawal of the British repre-
sentatives was made necessary by a dec
laration of war.
The United States representatives in the
TransVaal in the British colony of Natal
and in Cape Colony, as well as the con
suls in the Free State, viii be very busy
men in the event of an outbreak of hostn-
tiles, for in addition to the British inter-
ests confined to their care, their first atten-
ton must be directed to those of American
citizens. These are by no means inconsider-
able in extent and value.
The best information the state depart
ment has been able TO gather tends to show
that there are no less than 1000 Ameri-
can citizens in the Transvaal and Free
State alone, and these Americans are. as
q rule men of standing, representing in
many cases great American manufacture
ing and exporting concerns, as we'll as be-
ing charged with supervision over the m
terests of American capitalists who have
invested in the gold and diamond fields to
the extent of many millions of dollars.

GERS and Men should Stay Away.
Washington, Oct. 11.-A cablegram from
Gen. Otis to the war department received
late this afternoon, confirms the press dis
patches regarding Col Schwans move
ment on San Francisco de Malabon. Gen.
Otis says:
"Schwan successful yesterday in driv-
ing insurgents south from San Francisco
de Malabon with loss. He reports their
force disintegrated and retiring on diver
gent roads. which are impossible for ar
tillery or wagons. No intention of occu-
pying this country permanently or tenn
porarily; transportation will return by
way of Rosario and column will move di-
rection Dismarinas, probably returning on
linus. Country of no strategic import
ance."
Gen. Otis also disapproves of officers
families joining them at Manila Regard
ing this question he to-day cabled the de-
partment as follows:
Population Manila much congested.
Provision for officers families cannot be
made Those already arrived together
with families enlisted men, have caused
much perplexity. Would not permit my
cumstances; nearly all officers and men
here absent from Manila on duty; families
should await more peaceful conditions"
Another message announces the arrival
al Manila of the transport Victoria with
403 horses. Ten died en- route and sew
eral found to be afflicted with glanders
were shot

A WOMAN IN THE CASE.
The Killing of Judge La Place Was
Highly Sensational.

New Orleans, Oct. 1.-THE killing of
Judge Brazil La Place easily this morn
ing was one OF the most sensational which
has taken place In Louisiana in years.
The report in the vicinity is that young
lady was involved. Her father was con-
nected with the plantation and left there
yesterday, taking his daughter with him.
She escaped from him and remained be-
hind.
About 10 o'clock at night some one came
to the door and called for the Judge. He
came out. and. while wulking down the
high stairway 10 the road a mob with
white masks suddenly rose around him.
seized him and pin'oned his arms. He was
led for some distance, when the crowd
halted. A man placed a pistol 10 La
Places back and sent q bullet through
his kidneys. killing him instantly.
The body was left in the road. rain
fell upon II during the night, and II was
rescued from the mud by relatives, who
went from New Orleans this morning. The
relatives aver that the reason for the kill
ing Is political but the woman story is
generally known. and the mob's action
was based upon the fact that Judge La
Place is a married man, his family resid-
ing at La Place, few miles away named
after his distinguished father

the franchise been the chief grievance,
our five years proposition would certainly
nave been accepted. l have reason to be
heVe that England enters upon her war
like course by no means a unit. Opposi-
ton TO Mr.. Chamberlain's policy exists 10
a greater extent than is generally con-
CeiVed
"Ogr evident desire to conciliate has
been much appreciated ana our refusal
to allow our household affairs to be ad-
ministered by another nation has not ex-
cited genuine indignation here or in any
quarter of the globe. However, Mr. Cham
berlain has accomplished his purpose, and
all hope is gone. believe, nevertheless,
that a considerable revulsion in British
opinion would be affected by any serious
defeat for most of those now supporting
the government are doing so with light
heart and on general principles, not stop
ping TO count the cost of war;"
Can BE But One Result.
Mr.. White cited the Isaudlwhama mass
acre as an instance of such a change in
British opinion. He then went on to say:
Il suppose there can be only one ultima te
result of the hostilities. AS to the dura-
ton of the war 1 am not able to venture
a guess. 1t seems to me a matter of the
greatest uncertainty. l hear that Great
Britain will not begin the wiping out pro-
cess until December In the meantime we
shall see what we shall see.
Il have received no special instructions
or news from the Transvaal during the
last forty-eight hours, and l expect none,
having long ago received directions as to
the course for ME to take when matters
reached this stage. l shall remain on the
continent. and if anything further can be
done in the interest of my government, 1
shall, of course, endeavor to do it, all
though there seems nothing left but to
fight it out to the bitter end
Mr. White seemed much distressed over
the rupture and evidently did not enter
tain the least hope of Beer success. He said
the Transvaal agency in Brussels would be
continued as the European headquarters of
the government.
Mr. Whites reference to the Isandl-
whama massacre is an alluson TO the at
tack made on Jan. %, 1879, by some 5000
Zulus upon the British camp at Isandula
or lsandlwhama, about ten miles from
Rorkes Drift, on the Tugela. Five COM
panies of the Twenty-fourth Regiment,
with Col. Durnford, Lieut.. Col. Pulleine
and other officers, were massacred, the
British total loss being about SS7. Two
thousand Zulus are said to have been
killed.

pants disturbed in the least and they
