WHEELER WANTED CAVALRY.
But None Was on Hand to Prevent Reas-
sembling of Rebels

sembling of Rebels.
NEW YORK, Sept. PA dispatch to
the World. from Manila, September 10,
via Hong Kong, says: General Joseph
Wheeler, after skirmish at Para,
telegraphed to General Otis. asking
the latter to send cavalry for the pur-
pose of preventing reassembling of
the insurgents. General Otis replied
that he could not send the cavalry
until October.
Three attemps have been made to
assassinate Tavera: the leader of the
American Filipinos.
There is growing feeling among
military men and the native police that
the natives judges are unreliable. An
inquiry is now proceeding.
Commercial dislocations has resulted
in Manila because the goods ordinarily
procured here are unobtained, since
the provinces have been disturbed.
Nowadays the goods are only obtain
able from abroad.
The Filipino newspaper, Independ-
encia, says insurgents preparations are
to abandon Tarlac, if necessary.
Aguinaldo's forces, this organ says,
will be able to continue their Fabian
tactics, successfully, exhausting the
Americans troops more easily than the
Romans wore out Hannibal.

THE TRANsvAAL PROBLEM.
There Will Be War Unless Kruger Backs
Down


| LONDON, Sept. 24.-Never at any
stage of the Transvaal crisis has peace
or war rested so entirely within the
hands of President Kruger. The longer
be delays precipitatlng definite issue,
the better are the chances for peace.
| He now knows to what extent he can
rely on sections of South Africa to up
| hold him, and he realizes that the Brit
ish will, if possible, avoid conflict
until the last transport lands her men,
and he is too willy leader not to know
the military advantage that comes to
the aggressor. He appeals to the for
eign powers to intervene have appar-
emily been hopeless, but his efforts to
drag in the Orange Free state have
been successful, and if he honestly it,
tends to defy Great Britian he never
will haye a better opportunity than at
present.
1t is such reasoning which is utter
most in the minds of the thinking
British, and which promps them to
fear that before next weeks cabinet
meeting the Beers will have passed
over Natal's Border. If they have not,
there will be much grounds for believ-
ing President Kruger intends an lltl-
mate backdown. though whether be is
strong enough to carry his people with
him in such action is open to great
doubts.
The cabinet council merely verities
:he logical supposition that Great |
Britain will issue no hostile ultimatum |!
un.1 she is in position to back it
up.
The Impression that war is ineyita BILE, !,
which is now fairly general, is based |
almost solely upon the belief that the
Beers will not submit, while it is impos-
sible for Great Britain to recede from
the position which the secretary of
state for the colonies, Joseph Cham ber-
ain, brought about.

Then came up the matter of sending

Results of the Late Elections Great

Evidently the republicans no matter
how much they may whistle to keep
their courage up, are pretty thoroughly
frightened over the results OF the re-
cent elections.
Realizing the fact that Bryan has
gained ground rapidly and that even
NcKirlev's home state is in danger. the
republicans are now talking about an
early convention.
Recalling the history Of the last pres

time. money ard printing il took TO
stem the tide of Bryan's eloquence, the
republican national committee is said
TO be unanimously in favor Of calling
the national convention together early
in June.

General Macarthur sends Money aud
Provisions Under Fisg Of Truce.
A Manila dispatch under date 6f May
2, says: General Macarthur has sent
officers 10 General Antonio Luna, the
Filipino commander, under a flag Of
truce, carrying money and provisions
for American prisoners in his hands
and asking an exchange Of prisoners
and the names Of such as he may have.
II is reported that the insurgents
have two officers and sixteen others
and IL is supposed among these are
Lieutenant d. G. Gilmore and eleven
men of the crew of the United States
gunboat Yorktown, who fell into tho
hands of the Filipinos last month when
the gunboat visited Baler, on the east
coast of Luzon.
Major Bell with a squad Of scouts
has captured the town Of Macabebe,
about four miles southwest Of Calum-
pit, the people ringing bells and shout
ing "vivas."
The American army is now employ

and they are delighted to get 80 cents

Americans. Major General Lawton is

GILMORE A PRISONER.
Admiral Dewey Informs Department OF
Fate of YorlrtOn Crew.

Admiral Dewey Informs Department OF
Fate of YOrlSton Crew.
The following cablegram was re-
ceived at Washington Monday from
Admiral Dewey:
MANILA, April 3O.-Secretary Navy,
Washington: Apparently reliable in
formation, ten of the Yorktown boat
crew, including Gilmore, are prisoners
at insurgent headquarters. Am con
tinuing investigation DEWEY.
Inasmuch as there were fifteen men,
bers of the Yorktown party captured
by the Filipinos at Baler and as Adj
miral Dewey accounts for only ten of
them, it is feared that the other five
have been killed. They were proba-
bly, killed or fatally wounded in the
original assault upon the landing par
ty at Baler.
The identity of the members of the
party still unaccounted for is not
known. A telegram was sent to Ad-
miral Dewey Monday asking him to
give the department, if possible, the
names of the men known to be in the
hands of the Filipinos. 1t is accepted
at the department that the reason he
has not already furnished these names,
with the exception of that of Lieuten-
ant Gilmore, in his dispatch of Sun
days date was because he did not have
the information.
The insurgent headquarters, where
Admiral Dewey says the men are held
prisoners, is supposed to be San Fer
nando, but there is no assurance or
that point.
