From the Philippines.

Manila, May 29.-President McKin-
ley's scheme for giving the natives voice
in the government OF the islands, is
about to be given a practical trial. The
first step was taken in Manila today
when the Supreme Court, consisting Of
three Americans and six Filipino men,
bers, was established.
Manila, May 29.-General Smith with
seventy-ive men and cruiser left Iloi
10 to endeavor to rescure Captain Tilley
of the signal corps, who was captured
by treacherous natives at Z calante,
is and of Negros, while assisting in al
expedition to recover the cable between
Negros and Cebu. There is little hope
that the relief expedition will be sue
cessful. Captain Til'ey went ashore q,
Escalente with the commander OF the
cable ship Recorder, and several mvm-
bers of the crew. The natives had
hoisted flag OF truce but as soon NJ
the party landed, they opened volley
fire on them. The commander Of the
cable ship managed to reach the launch
and put off and he later rescued the
second mate who had started to swim
out to the ship. What became of Cap
tain Tilley could not be learned.
Memorial Day at Manila will be OBJ
served tomorrow for the first time.
There are 246 graves in Pace cemetery,
and 2S7 at Battery Knoll. These Will

vices will be held in the afternoon.
