morrow will say: That negotiations are
In progress looking toward mammoth
sugar consolidation is now admitted by
one OF the men most Interested. These
stories have been circulated at various
times. remote and recent. but nothing
connrmatory has been obtninabIe. It Is
not asserted that the deal on hand at
present Is in tangible shape. but 1t is
real enough to have necesSitated con-
ferences IN New York and the plans
are now under consideration by the
executives concerned

of the American sugar refining COM
pany and the glucose sugar refining
company. with the subsequent absorp-

plants owned by the Arbuckle Interests
and the Doscher retinerles with, per-
haps other competent plants.

time" said one of the head men of the
recent conferences. but am at liberty
to say that there is n good deal more In
the reports Of a combination OF the su-
gar interests than is generally credited.
Negotiations are In progress on the
general lines indicated, but / cannot

a few, however. may be trapped.
The Washington troops have returned
to Paslg, but the programme OF the
other troops Is uncertain.
The present expedition shows the dlf-
lculty which Is encountered by an
army which must depend upon wagon
trains In catching barefooted bandits
In their own mountains, and also gives
proof that the rebels do not Intend to
fight battles.
General Hall left Santa Teresa yes
terday morning md marched twelve
miles to Morong up and down the rocky
hills and through woods and swamps.
Scores OF his men fell out owing to the
extreme heat and were left to follow as
best they could. The head of the army
arrived Mt Morong ut noon, having ex-
changed only q few shots with insur-
gent sklrmlshers on the way. Groups
OF stragglers followed all day. but the
force was 200 smaller than when It
started. The men were almost thirty
six hours without rations and 1t was
considerable Of an achievement for
them to cover the ground they did.
En- route to Morong the Americans
met flocks Of FilipInos. under flags of
truce, many OF them young men with
the bearing of soldiers. Many discard
ed uniforms were found in the houses,
apparently those Of the soldiers. who
had escaped by changing their cos
tunes from "insurrecto" to "amIgo,"
and walking boldly past the army
which had expected to corral them.
Few were found about Morong.
One member OF the Washington regi-
ment was killed and two were wound
ed In the encounter with the outposts.
General Lawton on board q gunboat,
searching the coast for Major Truman,
stopped at BInangonan. opposite Mo-
rong. The Filipinos ran up q flag OF
truce and delegation in canoes put
out and greeted the Americans with the
usual protestatIons OF friendship.
