ADVANCE OF THE VICTORlOS REBELS.
Men, Women and Children Massa-
cred In Captured Towns and All
Manner of Revolving Cruelties
Perpetrate ed-Fears of Great
Famine Following the Insurrec-
ton.

Victoria, B. c., March "Details oi
the insurreetion in the central prov
inces of China, received by the EN-
press of India, state that the rebel
force and imperial troops met in a
pitched battle on January % and the
latter were defeated with great
slaughter. Hundreds were killed and
their bodies, after having been mutt.
lated, were thrown into the river un.
til, according to correspondent OF
log jammed creek.
Shocking Excesses.
After the defeat of the imperial
troops, the victorious rebels swept on
to the cities of Kuyang and Meng-
Sheng, which they took after a short
siege. As soon as they passed the
walls, they massacred men, women
and children, and performed all man
ner of revolving cruelties. They then
burned the captured towns.
After these successes the rebels
pushed on to Shachow and Kanchon.
The gates of the former city were
opened by sympathizers within, and
the horrors witnessed at their first
two captures were re-enacted.
Another Scene of Slaughter.
Kauchon held out for some time. AT
length Min and his followers gained
an entrance to begin their slaughter.
AS a revenge for his having held the
city against the rebels the unfortunate
commandant of the garrison was
butchered with savage cruelty. 1t is
said 200 men, women and children fell
in the struggle attending the capture
of the city.
1t is feared a great famine will fol
low the insurrection, for so terrified
are the natives that the crops have all
been left standing and will not be
harvested.
The Van Buren press., 1899-03-11

New York, March "a dispatch to
the Herald from Manila SAYS: Gen.
Hale determined to clear away the
enemy from the front of the right of
his wing.
The gunboat Laguna de Bay, under
Maj. Grant, began shelling the enc
my's position. Two companies of the
Twentieth infantry and three COM
panies of the First Nebraska, under
Col. Statenburg, swung in from the
road to the waterworks, driving the
insurgents toward the Pasig river.
The First Wyoming advanced direct
ly on the insurgent position in front.
Meanwhile the Laguna de Bay pound
ed the foe from the river.
Taken on Three Sides.
Thus taken on three sides the in
surgents, after some resistance, were
driven back
Capt. j. d. OBrien, of the First
Wyoming, was shot in the wrist, and
Maj. Bell, of the bureau of informa-
ton, was slightly wounded. Complete
reports of the wounded are not yet in.
Gen. Hale estimates the enemys loss
at $50.
AT the time of sending this dispatch
the Wyoming troops occupied an ad-
vanced position.
The insurgents opened fire across
the river from Guadaloupe, killing
Private Lovejoy, of Co. C, First Wash
ington, and wounding two others.
The insurgents have been eoncen-
trating to the east of the city, and will
probably try an attack from that side.
Their principal object is to cut off the
water supply of Manila.
American Positions Strong
The American positions are strong,
and the attempt will be futile.
The insurgent losses have been Sc
we're the last few days.
Aguinaldo declares that he has paid
filibusters $780, 900, and has received
only 500 rifles and 100000 rounds of
ammunition. The filibusters say the
rest have been captured, but probably
they were never bought.
The Weather Hot and Cloudy.
Manila, March 9, 1855 p. m.-The
temperature at p. m. was 81 degrees,
but the cloudy air was like steam, and
the troops were greatly inconven-
fenced on the line in spite of the tenn
porary shade afforded by mating and
bamboos wherever feasible. There are
fewer prostrations, however, from the
heat.
Our troops are not compelled to re-
main in the open country to the same
extent as Tuesday, when they were
engaged in clearing the Jungle.
FiIipinos Stay Under Cover.
The rebels seldom appear in the
open, except in the cool of the morn
ing and in the evening. Our soldiers
probably will feel the heat less when
they are on the move.
The following lights on the coasts
Of Panay and Guinaras islands have
been re-established: Manigonizo, Ii
gantes, Calabazas, Sietopecados, Iloilo
and Luzaran.

Jean Bart has arrived here.

A Personal Opinion.

my own opinion is that if the
treaty powers attempt by force to in
stall the Malietoa government it will
simply result in the Mataafa govern
ment going into power and controll-
ing everything outside of Apia. AL
lowing for defections to the Malietoa
government in case it is recognized,
the Mataafa government will still
have the vast majority of the parti-
sans"

DIR. Rafei Talks.

1.-THE German consul" said Mr.. Raj
fel, could not enforce the decision of
the supreme court, because he be-
lieyed that the decision was in oppo-
sition to the customs of the Samoan
people and the Samoan government,
and under the pending instructions
from the home government he could
not seek to enforce it, particularly
when it was so obnoxious to so large
= number of the Samoan people.
"As to the report that the Germans
counseled the attack on the Mataafa
forces" he said, "that is untrue
American and British residents will
American citizen, has so informed his
government in a communication to the
administration at Washington.
Why the Court was Closed.
1.-THE reason the provisional govern
ment closed the supreme court is this:
The president of the municipal coun-
ell, under the treaty, not only has
local jurisdiction in the municipal dis
trict, but is also treasurer advisor
and executive officer, of the Samoan
government. He is such to the provi-
sional government under the treaty.
The provisional government held that
it could not recognize court to whose
decision it was in antagonism. After
wards it was decided that it would not
declare the chief justiceship vacant.
But the Samoans do not recognize the
court and do not bring suits in it. The
whites, however, do.
