Manila, May 30.-Capt. Tilley of the
signal corps, with detachment made
I'D of other members of the corps,
landed at Escalanto, on the island OF
Negros, to pick up the cable. The ma
tives had a white flag flying over the
cable house when the party landed,
but the latter no sooner landed than
they were fired upon by the natives.
They at once took to the water and a
number of them were picked up by a
boat, but Capt. Tilley and two native
men of the party are missing. Gen.
Smith, with a detachment of troops,
has started on board a gunboat, to in
vestigate the affair.
An order has been issued re-estab-
fishing the Philippine courts which
have been closed since the American
occupation. 1t revives the old Span
ish system and does not conflict with
the sovereignty of the United States.
The chief justice is Caituna Arrelano.
The associates of the civil branch are
Manuel Advanita, Colonel Crowder and
Gregorja Aralitia. The justices Of the
criminal branch are Raymundo Nell
liza, Ambrosio Rianzares, Julio Loren
to, Major Young, and Captain Birk-
heimer The attorney general is
Florentio Torres. This corresponds
with the American supreme court.
The oath prescribed begins: II rec
ognize and accept the supreme au-
thority of the United States Of Amer
ica," etc. The Filipino members are
all prominent lawyers. Arrellano is
the leader of his profession on the
islands In the early stages of the Fill
ipino movement he was Aguinaldo's
principal adviser. Advanita was a
member of Aguinaldo's first cabinet.
Molliza was president of the insurgent
government at IloilO; Torres is the
leader of the local committee working
with the commission to conciliate the
instruction.
Gen. Otis says, contradicting the gen.
eral impression, that the campaign
against the Filipino insurgents will be
prosecuted by the American forces with
the utmost agressiveness during the
rainy season. Gen. Lawton is of the
opinion CndC an early settlement Ol lue
present troubles upon the close of hos
tilities depends largely upon the Amer.
leans giving thorough protection to the
working classes in their peaceful Occu
pations, while waging incessant wal
against the armed forces of the enemy
from this time forth by mems of guer
rilla warfare. The Americans viii
show the insurgents by vigorous actor
on the rivers, lakes and mountain!
that their belief that they cannot cam
paign in the rainy season or in the
mountains is untrue. Later it is pos
sible that the changing conditions ma.
demand garrisoning by districts, &
that the valuable part of the island viii
be safe for the investment Of capita
and the prosecution of industries unit
Americans are completely dominant
Quick transportation of the cavalr!

MILAN of Michigan had long confer

garding the proposed imposition of a
countervailing duty on lumber import

opinion holds that under provisions in
section 1875 of the tariff act the secre-
tary can lawfully impose a practically
prohibitive duty on lumber from the
Canadian provinces such action almost
certainly will be taken.

The news reached us last week
after we had gone to press OF the
death Of Prof. w. X. Nettes, of
Magnolia, Miss. Prof. Nettles
was born and reared in this par
ish, was the son Of DR.. S. S. Ne-
ties, deceased, Of Grangeville,
and was a perfect type Of true
and noble manhood. We esteem
ed him as a friend and sincerely
mourn his sad death which was
caused by cancer on his face.
He was a man who walked in the
statutes of the Lord, and with a
willing hand worked for the cause
of Christianity, and consequently
when the test came he was not
confounded nor afraid, but bid
ding farewell to loved ones here
he swung out into the unexplor-
ed regions beyond with full
faith that He, in whom he had
trusted, would be with him, Our
sympathies are with the bereaved
and We pray that they may look
forward with hope to the happy
day when in their Fathers house
they will see him again.-St.
Helena Echo.
