pinos Toward Mountains.
Manila advices say that Gen. MacAr-
thurs force has occupied Mangatarem,
west of Bayambang, in the valley of the
Rio Agno. Seven Americans who had
escaped from the insurgents were found
at Mangatarem. Three other Americans
escaped from the rebels at the same time
The escaping American prisoners say
that four American deserters are serving
with the insurgents. The insurgents re-
naming in the west are retreating be-
fore Macarthur into the mountains, drag
ging six guns. They are in command of
Gen. Alexandra. Maj. Bell is in pursuit
of them.

BRITAIN WARNS FRANCE.
Plain Words Used in Public by Joseph
Char be erlaiu.

Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, speak
ing at Leicester alluded strongly to state
ments in the French papers, which he de-
clared were aimed at what many re-
garded as almost Il sacred person-the
Queen-and which may have serious con-
sequences if our neighbors do not mend
their manners"
The Secretary believed triple ALI
ance of the Teutonic race and the two
branches of the Anglo-Saxon race would
be potent factor in the future history of
the world. 1t would not necessarily be
an alliance from the viewpoint of states
manship, which might be altered in ac-
cordance with the changed conditions, but
ii would be one which, though they might
not know it, would be to the advantage Of
other nations.

Attention was directed 10 the place,
but, in the absence Of complaints, the

The difficulty between Saloon Keeper Will
liam Mccormack and the members OF the Ma

street and Fort Hamilton avenue. Brooklyn. was
settled yesterday. when Mccormack secured
a license for hs saloon. The church people
and Mccormack have been at odds for some
time aud it was through them that his license
was revoked by supreme Court Justice Dickey
several weeks ago. His place was directly OPP
rosite that OF the church and he declared that
the editcs was built to prevent HIM from con
tinuing in business at that place.
AS soon as his license was revoked he nur-
chased the ground which they were occupying
and gave them twentyfour hours to leave the
place. Yesterday an agreement was reached
whereby Mccormack consented to nay hall the
cost Of removing the building to two lots Sc
cured by tho church people on Thirty eighth

license was then issued.
