HOW THE |NSURRECTION
WAS BEGUN AT MANILA
General Macarthur Tells the Story Which Throws
All the Blame Upon the FilipinOS.
Official Report of Officers In the Philippines On February
4-PraiSe of the Soldiers

Washington, May 24.-The secretary
of war today made public a report from
Major General Arthur Macarthur, be-
ing one OF the reports enclosed by Cen
eral Otis in his own report of the op-
erations in the Philippines, which was
in part submitted to the cabinet yes
terday.
General Macarthur covers a period
OF time from the evening of Feb. 4,
when the insurgent outbreak began, to
Feb. .2S. He gives vivid picture of
the conditions prevailing in Manila and
its suburbs during the exciting times
that followed the initiation of the in
surgent attacks. An important feature
of his report is the demonstration of
the responsibility of the insurgents, for
the outbreak. He also speaks in terms
of the highest praise of the splendid

insurgent representatives. The impress
sion is gathered from the statement of
high officials here that this attitude OF
the military officials is thoroughly ap-
proved by the war department, where
it is fully. expected that the campaign
will be pushed by General Otis regard
less of season or condition all through
the summer, if need be, unless by sub
mission to the terms described the in
surgents terminate hoStilities.
There is no disposition at the war de-
partment to countenance an armistice
that might only give fresh strength and
life to the insurgents, and this is to be
kept in view regardless of any peace
negotiations that may be in progress,
although, of course, there is no inten-
ton of embarrassing these, except
wherever it is absolutely essential to
the success of the military operations.

FLoGGING OF NEGROES.
Whitecaps Creating Trouble at Grif-
nm. Georgia.

Griffin, Ga, May 24.-The fiogging of
four colored operatives of the Kincaid
mills on Monday night by Whitecaps
has led to sensational developments.
Last night another negro was taken
from his house and severely beaten Ind
cut These negroes are aw-abiding cit
liens. Today the superintendent and
others at the Kincaid mills were noti-
fled to leave at once or they would be
dealt with"
It now transpires that there has been
a club formed here known as the La
borerS' Union band, with the purpose of
driving the negroes out of the cOun
try. The band has about 500 members,
a large number of whom are boys un-
der age.
Upon orders from the governor the
Griffin Rifles are in their armory await
ing orders from Judge Hammond to
proceed to the factory. The mayor
has been reliably informed that if the
militia goes to the factory there will be
trouble in the city tonight. He has or
dered all the police on duty throughout
the night

who were essential to the final success
achieved
The affair of Feb. 7 is described as
an outpost affair, originating between
opposing sentinels and ending with
hand-to-hand conflict between three
and n half companies, under Colonel
Funston and Major Metcalf, and 200
insurgents. The latter stood firmly,
and dubbed muskets and bayOnets
were freely used. the result being a
complete rout of the enemy.
The plan of the attack on Caloocan is
described in the report. The pro-
gramme is said to have been carried
out with almost exact precision, the
tactical execution being excellent and
the resistance such as to require the
best efforts of all concerned. Company
NJ of the Montana regiment is espec-
tally mentioned for it's performance un-
der Major Bell of some extra hazardous
duty in making a feint. OF the Nebras-
ka regiment, General Macarthur says:
In consequence of its advanced po-
sition at the pumping station, the Ne
braska regiment has been engaged in a
series of minor operations which have
resulted in large amount of arduous
and dangerous work, all of which has
been cordially and well performed by
this excellent regiment
TreacherAy OF Natives.
The attempt of the natives within the
city assisted by the insurgents out
side, to rise within the city of Manila
on the 23rd of February, is described
as a formidable movement. General
Macarthur says the situation was
made embarrassing by the fact that
number of insurgent soldiers had sue
ceeded in getting back of the American
lines, and he shows how the Montana
regiment, accompanied by Major Nal
lory, materially aided in suppressing
the demonstration
High commendation is bestowed upon
the little army gunboat Laguna de Bay
and upon the volunteer signal corps
detachment, under Captain Edgar Rus
SELL Under this head it is shown how
the signal corps made ii possible to
fully develop the cooperation of the
navy by it's system. The quartermas-
ter and subsistence departments are
praised as completely successful in
every detail. Says the report:
The supply of American soldiers en-
gagged in active field operations in these
distant shores with choice fresh beef
from Australia, the very best quality
of fresh vegetables from the United
States. with condensed water, together
with all other parts of the ration in
abundant quantities, good quality, is
certainly just cause for congratula-
ton to all concerned"
The Enemy Slain.
After taking the medical department
into his chapter of commendation, Cen
eral Macarthur speaks of the result
of the work of the American troops as
follows:
''The punishment inflicted by the di-
vision may be estimated from the fact
that official report has been made of
the actual burial of 374 insurgents killed
in action during the month. The
enemys wounded We're. as a general
rule, successfully removed. so that 1t is
impossible to speak with any precision
in that respect. but it is assumed that
three wounded to one killed would be
a reasonable estimate
The report concludes with special
tributes to the enlisted men, first to
general officers and lastly to the staff.

MRS. CRAvEN'S DEFECT.
Court Decides Against Her In the
Fair Will Case.

San Francisco. May 24.-Judge Trout of
the superior court. today denied the right
of Mrs. Nettie r. Crayen-Fair to inter-
vene in the contest Of the will of the late
James G. Fair. fled by his son Charles.
Judge Trout held that the alleged
widows petition for the right to inter-
vene in the contest was not filed within
year after the probate of the will, as
the law directs, consequently she is de-
Drived of becoming a party to the con-
test filed by Charles L. Fair. In other
words. she will have no chance to prove
her claim to be the widow of the late
James c. Fair. unless the supreme court
reverses Judge Troutt's ruling. The case
will be taken mp at once

Nebraska infantry, L. S. ", reported
considerable firing at his outposts,
which extended gradually along the
entire front of the division.
"At 1910 D. m. it was evident hos
tilities had been commenced in earnest
by the insurgents. and accordingly an
order issued from these headquarters
to put everything on the firing line ac-
cording to a programme which had
been pre-arranged for such an emer-
gency."
Continuing, the report shows that the
fighting progressed fiercely all night,
and the next day the insurgents were
driven back from their whole line. The
Tennessee regiment and the South Da-
kota regiments are particularly men,
toned as rendering good service. Says
General Macarthur:
Bravery of the Troops.

fine display of bravery of the troops,

ises of possible representation for his
people in case of compliance with the
American demand that they lay down
arms.
Every Filipino shrugged his should
ers over the glowing prophesies of the
future, after d cessation of hoStllltleS
were outlined to them by the members
of the commission. They said they
asked for independence and liberty
with dignity, under the protection of
the United States and We're offered
nothing but the indefinite assurance
that individual natives ought to hold
official positions under the proposed
government.
Fear Action By Congress.
The commissioners have great dread
of the significance of future congress
sional legislation, They will accept
not a single condition of those pro-
posed. but will return dissatisfied to
Aguinaldo and report the results.
Major Zailcita, one of the Filipino
commissioners said:
"As the ultimate form of government
rests in the hands of the American
congress the present proposals are
merely provisional. The result of the
present plan would be that the Ameri-
cans would be at the head of every
department of government and the Fill
pinos tenure of office would depend
upon the will of the Americans. We
think we can get better terms.
A leading banker of Manila said:
They Must Be Crushed.
"The present proposals are only a
repetition of the provisions of the COM
missions proclamation. That means
that this is an American colony They
have adopted the imperialistic policy,
then why talk over matters with the
ENJOYS of hostile force, which must
be crushed before such a>sovernment
as it proposed can be established"
The opinion of military officials here
is that the negotiations merely encour-
age the insurgents to hold out for bet
ter terms, especially since the COM
manding American general is not con-
suited in the negotiations.
General Luna is bound to continue
the fight for independence. Negotia-
tions which encourage the natives to
hope to obtain great concessions may
cost the lives of many American SOL
diers."
