Him at Once.
MANILA. Nov GA fleet of trans
ports and gunboats has left Manila for
the most important expedition of the
autumn campaign Its destination is
supposed to be Dagupan or some other
northern port
General Wheaton commands, with a
brigade consisting of the Thirteenth in
fantry, the Thirty-third infantry, two
guns of the Sixth artillery and two Cat
linss. The transports Sheridan. Fran
cisco de Reyes and Aztec carry the
troops with the gunboat Helena as es-
cort.
A dispatch was sent ahead to arrange
a rendezvous with the United States
cruiser Charleston and the other war
ships that are patrOlling the north coast
of Luzon.
The landing will be made under cover
of the guns of the fleet. 1t is assumed
here that the purpose of the expedition
is to move down the Dagupan- Manila
railroad toward Tarlac or to prevent
Aguinaldo's forces making another base
farther north.
Dagupan and Apparri are the strong.
holds of the insurgents in the north and
1t is supposed the points where most Of
the flbustering parties land.
Since the beginning Of hostillties it has
been the unanimous opinion of military
experts here that Dagupan should be
made base of operations. but sufficient
troops have heretofore been lacking.

and Lawton moving upon Tarlac from
three directions and the mountains

HAPPY ISLANDERS.
Negros Receives the First Autonomous
Government.

Government.
MANILA, Nov. There have been
three days feasting in celebration of the
new government and the first anniver-
sary Of the surrender of the Spaniards
to the Negros' revolutionists, ending
with a ball in the government house.
American flags are displayed in the viii
lage.
The celebration consisted of horse
racing and other sports, music, relig-
ious functions and an illumination. The
ball attracted the wives of the wealthy
planters and there was a great display
of rich costumes and costly jewels as
would be seen at similar affair in
America or Europe.
Elections were held Oct. 2, the num-
Der of votes cast being 524S. There
were 40 candidates for the various
offices Senior Melecio Severino was
elected governor, receiving 1905 votes
Senor Jaime received 1,277 votes. Suf-
frage was determined by property quail
ificatlon, and ability to read and write.
Colonel Miner welcomed the officials
on behalf of the United States. In the
course of his remarks he said: "Negros
leads in the van Of civil government in
the Philippines. Your honor lies in ad-
ding a neW star to freedoms flag"
General Smith during a speech which
he delivered, said: Your future prom
ises as brightly as Japan's, who, to-
day, is recognized as among the civilized
nations of the world
Senior Severino, in replying, said that
the best thing for the future of Negros
was the continuance of close relations
with the United States.
General Smith then announced the
granting Of a freedom to the political
prisoners in commemoration of the
event.
General Hughes, in command at Iloilo
telephoned a congratulatory speech over
the Eastern cable from that place.
General Smith, in an interview, re-
marked that 1t was of the utmost i'm
portance that the Filipinos should be
taught to recognize the sovereignty OF
the United States. THE gravest dam
GER" he added, " threatening a peaceful
administration. is intrigue among the
insular politicians, and he declared that
| the United States government must for
| years keep control of the Filipinos in
order to prevent such conditions from
existing.
The members of the Sixth infantry
which is divided into 80 garrisons
| throughout the island of Negros, are
undergoing great harships. A recently
| organized revolutionary movement has

the leaders have been forced to withdraw

ing at Ealing regarding the situation in
South Africa. said: "Our ultimate vic

which we as victors will propose to the
vanquished are known, foreign nations
will see that the main cause which had
forced us to embark upon this conflict
Is not a desire of pecuniary profit, or oi

The men had been sent into a gang
way to release a large quantity Of mine
slush which had worked into the place
through a breach which the company
was filling with dirt, from the colliery.
A half hour later there was sud
den rush of dirt from above and be-
fore the men could escape, hundreds Of
tons of dirt filed the gangway and COW
cred four Of them. The others, who
stood further away, were hurled
against the sides of heavy timber and
other debris.
Michael Woff was thrown on small
handcar. and the impetus of the on
rushing dirt sent the car out Of harms
way with Wolf on it.
A gang of men was Immediately sent
to work rescuing the men. Curry and
Kansas we're extricated, but the other
four unfortunates could not be reached.
At a late hour tonight a gang of men
