AWFUL CRUELTY
OF CHINESE REBELS

Victoria, b. c., March S.-Details of the
insurrection in the central provinces of
China. received by the Empress of India,
state that the rebel force and the imperial
troops met in a pitched battle on Jan. %,
and the latter We're defeated with great
slaughter. Hundreds We're killed and
their bodies after having been mutilated,
were thrown into the river until, accord
ing to a correspondent of the China Mail,
the stream was like log jammed creek
After the defeat of the imperial troops
the victorious rebels swept on to the
cities of Kuyang and MengSheng, which
they took after short siege. AS soon as
they passed the walls they massacred
men, women and children and performed
all manner of revolving cruelties. They
then burned the captured towns After
these successes the rebels pushed on to
Shachou and kauchon. The gates or the
former city We're opened by sympathlzers
within and the horrors witnessed at their
first two captures were re-enacted. kau-
chon held out for some time. At length
Niu and his followers gained an entrance
to begin their slaughter. AS revenge
for his having held the city against the
rehes the unfortunate conmandant OF
the garrison was butchered with savage
cruelty. 1t is said 200 men, women and
children fell in the struggle.
1t is feared that great famine VIII fol-

HOMESEEKERS
COMING WEST

Chicago, March S.-Western lines en-
Tuesday on account of the cheap rates in
effect for homeseeker's eXcursionists to
the territory west of the Missouri river.
The total number taking passage for the
promised land footed up about 1856 full
tickets and third as many half fare
tickets for children in the families. Near
ly so families with, all their belongings
We're numbered with the big crowd.
The home hunters and spectators did
not all go over one road, but selected
their routes without restriction as the
rates were the same over Ill the lines.
Many of the parties were from points east
of Chicago, but the majority We're from
! this city In addition to the business from
! here all of the roads sold hundreds or
coast tickets from points on their lines
in northern Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota.
! One road, the Rock Island, had full car
load out of Chicago bound for san Fran
cisco, Portland and other water front
| cities.
The following figures show the way the
| movement was divided among the prln-
| cipal competing lines: Chicago, ROCK
Island e. Pacific, 61 Chicago & North
western, 55: Northern Pacific, 81; Great
Northern, SO; Burlington, "A; Wisconsin
/ Central 25: Great Western, Il. In addi-
ton to the above number boarded
! through trains north and west of Chi
cago.
| It was the first homeseekers excursion
ever run from this territory to Pacific
! coast points. Another one will be run on
! March q, on which date todays record
will probably be beaten as the railroads
did not have time to sufficiently advertise
| the first excursion. The rate which partly
inspired the rush was an extrenly low
one. Round trip tickets from Chicago t0
the coast were sold at 5000. against a
regular fare of about S11O and the. one
way transportation was sold at $oi D;
against the ordinary fare OF S6loo.

THE ENEMY WAS
DRIVEN BACK

New York, March S.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: Gen. Hale de-
termined this morning to clear away the
enemy from the front of the right wing
The gunboat Laguna de Bay, under Mai.
Grant, began shelling the enemys posi-
ton. Two companies of the Twentieth
infantry and three companies of the First
Nebraska under Col. Statenbarge swung
in from the road to the waterworks, driv-
ing the rebels toward the Pasg river The
First Wyoming advanced directly on the
insurgent position in front. Meanwhile,
the Laguna de Bay pounded the foe from
the river Thus attacked on three sides,
the insurgents We're driven back.
Capt. J. d. O'Brien, of the First Wyom-
ing, was shot in the right wrist and Maj.
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 Wyom-
ing troops occupied an advanced position.
The insurgents opened fire across the
river from Guadalupe, killing Private
Lovejoy of Company c, First Washing
ton, and wounding two others.
The insurgents have been concentrating
to the east of the city and will probably
try an attack from that side. Their prin-
cipal object is to cut off the waterworks
of Manila. The American positions are
strong and their attempts will be futile
The insurgent losses have been severe the
last few days.
The Madrid authorities have offered
Aguinaldo a ransom of 81 900 for each
officer 500 each for the privates and $50
for each civil servant. They have not
offered to ransom the priests.
Aguinaldo declares that he has paid
filibusters $4,000 and has received only
500 rifles and 100000 rounds of ammuni-
ton. The filibusters say the rest have
been captured but probably they were
never bought.

EXPLAINS HIS AC-
TIONS IN SAMOA

San Francisco, March S.-Dr. John Raf-

Gil of Apia, arrived here today on the

ernment by the three treaty powers and

tive population and majority Of the

moan government and that pending in
structions 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 German con-
sui led the attacks of the Mataafa
forces,' he said, that is untrue. The
reason the provisionsal government
closed the supreme. court is this: The
president of the municipal council under
the treaty, not only has local jurrsdlc-
ton in the municipal district, but is also
treasurer, adviser and executive officer or
the Samoan government. He is such IN
the provisional government under the
treaty. The provisional government held
that it could not recognize court to
whose decision it was in antagonlsm.
My own opinion is that if the treaty pow
ers attempt by force to install the Malle-
toa government it will simply result IN
the Mataafa government gong into the
bush and controlling everything outside
of Apia, for allowing defections to the
Malietoa government, in case 1t is rec
