partment Made Public.

Washington, June 16.-The report of
Brigadier General Charles King, COM
manding the First brigade, First divi-
sion, during the early fighting at Man
lila, has been made public at the war
department. This brigade, composed of
the First California, First Washington
and First Idaho, saw some very hard
fighting. 1t was while executing an
order of General King that Major Nc
Conville fell, leading his men of the
Idaho regiment. General King calls
attention to the fact that the losses of
his brigade were greater than of any
other brigade in the corps. He also says
le damage inflicted on the enemy was
very great, his men having buried 153
of the Filipinos. He adds:
4 beg leave to call attention to the
fact that this is the only exclusively
volunteer brigade in the corps, and that
it fought with all the steadiness, dash
and discipline of their comrades, the
regulars.

Storer. and inquired cordially concern

Manila, June ia Spanish officer
who has been prisoner in the hands
of the rebels ana who was released by
AguinaIdo, has come through our lines
to Manila. He claims to have been a
witness OF the assassination of General
Lun;. According to his story, the re-
lations between the two Filipino lead
ers had been strained to the breaking
point because of Luna's attempts to
assume control of affairs and -he final
rupture was forced by Acuinaido iSsu-
ing secret orders to the PROVINCIAL gov
ernments. Luna thereupon notified Ag-
uinaldo demanding copies of the docu-
ments. and Aguinaldo replied curtly
that Luna was a general of the army.
and that the civil government did not
concern him. Luna, on opening the re-
ply at his headquarters, in the presence
of his officers, exclaimed hotly: He
Will be dead tomorrow"
One officer, who was friendly to Ag-
uinaldo, FASTENED TO warn him, and Ag-
uinaldo called together twenty trusted
soldiers, fellow tOwnsmen of his, and
stationed them around his house with
instructions to kill any one attempting
10 enter. regardless of rank.
Luna appeared the next day and saw
Aguinaido at the window. a member
of the guard said: "Aguinaldo has gone
to inspect the troops"
Luna exclaimed: You are a liar,
drew his revolver, struck the guard
and tried to force an entrance into the
house. Before he could use his revolver
one of the guards bayonetted him and
shot him in the back and others stab
bed him. IN all, he had twenty wounds.

he Spanidrd's story has not EN-
PEELED the doubts of Luna's
hafC fbof ba &c aIfx-e o,.a fraaI.-

The Spaniard's story has not entirely
dispelled the doubts of Lunas DEATH
and bets that he is alive are freely made
at the clubs. Some people thing Ag-
uinaldo has taken pains to send this
Spaniard here with his story. in furth-
erance 81 some diplomatic scheme, and
others suspect Aguinaldo has been as
SaSsinated by Luna's men.
Since the Americans withdrew from
Candaba recently the rebels have
wreaked vengeance upon those who be-
friended the Americans They slaugh-
tered the natives who surrendered the
town and displayed their heads on poles
in the public square. The hostile ma
tives of Cebu are more menacing.
Mail advices say hostilities against
the Americans have begunt here. Col
onel Hammer, the American command
er, has asked for reinforcements, and
four companies OF the Tennessee regi-
ment have been sent to him from
IloilO.
The Nebraska regiment has been or
dered to sail for home early next week.

Mr.. F. H. Peavey was another of the
distinguished guests. A man who has
made his enviable position in the
world by his integrity and business
sagacity. It is easy to discern why
he has been successful. 3 His open,
honest frankness; his fair dealing and
charitable views and acts are his dis
tinguishing qualities. With such men
as Mr.. Peavey filling positions of
trust, we have nothing to fear. He is
immensely rich, owning and controll-
ing business from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. His name is familiar wherev-
er leading business men are wont to
congregate. He is not only the larg-
est grain elevator owner in the United
States, but in the whole world. Mr..
Peavey is not very we'll known to the
Afro becauses perhaps, he
has not been prominent in politics, but
has kept himself close to strictly bust
ness, yet there are many instances on
record where he very substantially be-
friended them and he expresses him
self ready and willing to do more un-
der proper circumstances.
Mr.. Percy Jones, the youngest Of the
distinguished quartet, that responded
to Mr.. Gibbs invitation, is by no
means lacking in business experiences
and manly characteristics. He relat-
ed an incident in which he was a
prominent actor, which proved con-
clusively that what we need more than
other things is the moral support and
influence of those who by their race
