Was One of the Most Famous Mas
ters of Oriental Languages.
BONN. Germany, March 24-G. w.
Leitner, the linguist, is dead, aged fifty
nine years.

In early life DR.. Leitner, who was
native of Hungary, studied Oriental Ian
guages in the East. He was appointed

atfng in the Crimea. After the fall of
Sebastopol he became a professor of

appointed rector Of the college of Lahore,
and In the following year he founded the
society Of the Punjab, for social, polit1-
cal and educational reforms Some time
later Leitner was entrusted with an i'm
portant mission into the least known
parts of Thibet, which took years to ac-
complish While on this mission he en-
dured great suffering and passed through
many dangers, but obtained the material
for an important work on the habits, GUS
toms and languages Of the districts he
visited and also collected some remarka-
BILE objects. At the universal exposition
of Vienna, in 1875, he obtained the only
grand diploma Of honor accorded for the
advancement of knowledge He spoke
and wrote fifty languages. Returning to
London after twenty years absence he
founded near that city an Oriental in
stitute for the purpose of enlightenine
Europeans on the subject of the lam
guages of the East. In all he founded
over eighty institutions. He also engaged
I in scientific research and accumulated A.

London Press Sounds Note of
Warning to Great Britain.
LONDON, March 24.-The Saturday Re-
view, published this evening, accrimoni-
ously discusses the future relationship
between the United States and Great
Britain in a long article entitled 1.-The
Rivals
After pointing out that nothing mate
rial has been the outcome of the passing
wave of sentimentality," it proceeds to
blame the American trusts for the fail
ure of the sh-American-Cana
commission, saying:
Those trusts may be expected to op-
pose British trade supremacy, with the
same unscrupulous rivalry in the far
East as Is now shown in Canada and ul-
t1mately everywhere in the world. And,
as the trusts control American politics.,
such immediate advantages as England
might gain from an alliance would be
largely overshadowed by the dangers into
which the trusts are likely to force Amer
lea by insisting upon an indefinite policy
of expansion"

be by water. 1t is believed that Gen.
Otis will place complete brigade on
board vessels, steam rapidly northward
and land them beyond the insurgent head
quarters at Malolos If this movement
succeeds, as 1t should, if made with ra-
pidity, the insurgent army will find it
self penned in, with no opportunity for
retreat. TO the north will be the flying
brigade. on the east Laguna de Bay.
across which they will be prevented from
escaping by the American gunboats now
af1oat there; the Pasig river to the south
Is well policed by tinclads, and with a
strong line in position, occupied by
Wheaton's brigade, will cut off any move
ment in that direction, while to the west
the bay of Manila is closed by Dewey's
vessels. 1t is hard to conceive how, if
this plan carries, the insurgents can
longer avoid a decisive conflict, which
must end either In their breaking through
the American lines or in their surrender.
1T is evident that Gen. Otis expects the
latter, for he has already advised the
war department that the insurrection
cannot last much longer.

SHROUDED IN MYSTERY.
Probable Suicide of o. l.. Sypher, of
New York.


MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March 24-Cir-
cumstances indicate that o. L. Sypher Of
New York, committed suicide on the
Goodrich line steamer Atlanta, on her
trip from Chicago, last night, by jump
ing overheard. In one of the state rooms
was found derby hat, containing sew
eral goodbye communications signed
Lou" One was addressed to Mrs A.
M. Sypher, 1872 West Ninety eighth street,
New York, which reads:
My Dear Mother: You have always
been a good mother to me. Good bye"
Another note was addressed to Col A.
c. Landers, Newport, R. l., saying the
writer would like to rest near his son in
Newport A third letter was addressed
to Mrs. o. l. Sypher in care of A. C.
Landers, Newport, r. l., starting with
the words my dear wife" in which he
says goodbye and asks forgiveness The
last letter would indicate that the writer
was Q. L. Sypher. What adds mystery Is
that the steamer people have no record
of any person having engaged a state
room in which the hat and letters were
found, and say all their passengers were
accounted for.

There has been considerable trouble from
banditu during the last few days in the
vicinity Of San Luis. When it was re-
ported to Gen. Wood, military governor,
he sent military forces as well as the
entire force of genderarmerie into the
district with instructions to. capture the
bandits if possible. They met with no
success, but finally Lieut.. Hanna, Gen
Woods aide, went to San Luis to make
a personal investigation, with the result
that within twenty-four hours the ring
leader, Francisco Dieguez, and five
others, were captured, and later two more
taken and one killed while resisting ar
rest
Woods gendarmerie, has resigned his po-
siticn. Three days ago he left for San
Luis to try to locate the bandits. Three
men accompanied him. After they had
proceeded a short distance Col. Valentine
ordered the men to return, saying:
eff we should be attacked by bandits
we would have to fight; but If I were
alone, I could talk with them and get
away safely"
Finally. as the story goes, the bandits
captured him, held court-martial and
sentenced him to death, but finally re-
Tented and released him. This tale Is
common talk at the Cuban club, and is
generally believed. Any way. Col. Valen-
tines resignation seems to give 1t color.
He Is either out of the city or in hiding.
The new chief of gendarmerie is Col
Juan Wan. The gendarmerie in the San

TYRANNY OF TAGALos.

Valencia told Gen. Otis terrible stories
of the tyranny and cruelty of the Tagalos
leaders in upholding their insurrection.
He said Aguinaldo frequently visits the
front Of the army, cheering the soldiers
with lies about the prospects of victory.
The people have been reduced almost TO
slavery by the native leaders. The In
surgents are expected to make a desper-
ate fight at Malolos.
Valencias story Is confirmed by every
person escaping into our lines. The Amer
leans are really emancipatlng the natives
from tyranny worse than that of Spain.
The British warship Pigmy has return
ed from cruise to south Luzon. The
captain visited the insurgent general
there, who promised not to molest British
residents. The general returned the visit
on board the Pigmy.
TO RESCUE BRITONS.
The British merchant ship Saturnus
went to Degupan a few days ago to res
cue British residents there. The cruiser
Narcissus had compelled the insurgent
chiefs to grant free leave to all British
subjects. The Saturnus returned to Ma
Mia today, bringing fourteen English
men, of whom six are railway engineers,
and the families of ten Spanish officers.
The Europeans were well treated by the
insurgents and there are no American
prisoners in Dagupan, as reported.
One Englishman, suspected of being an
American spy, was held as a prisoner.
The English refugees are afraid to give
much information on account of the
danger OF assassination, even here in Ma
nila. They will at once leave for Hong
Kong to avoid suspicion.
The people of the northern province OF
the island of Luzon are rather antagon-
istic toward Aguinaldo. The railway
which the insurgents have put in oper-
alton is carrying large numbers of ma
tives southwark In the defense of Ma

Insurgent Governor of Province of

Cavtte Leaves AguinaIdO.
MANILA, March A.-Francesco Valen-
cia, 1nsurgent governor Of the province
OF Cavite, escaped into the American
lines and came to Manila, where he pre-
sented himself to Gen. Otis. He gave the
American military governor all the in
formation he possessed regarding the in
surgent forces, and told remarkable
stories of the cruelty and deception prac-
uced by Aguinaldo and his associate
leaders upon the unfortunate natives in
order to keep up the insurrection.
There are, according to Gov. Valencia
between 10000 and $4,000 insurgents, arm
ed with Mausers and Remingtons, be-
tween Manila and Malolos. The main
force of Aguinaldo's army is at Malolos,
the insurgent capital, where intrench-
ments are being thrown up day and
night. The mass of the natives are sick
of war and the idea of independence.
They are fighting simply under fear of
death and the threats of leaders. Valencia
says the people recognize there is no
hope battling against the Americans, but
they dare not refuse to fight. He be-
lieves the insurrection Will collapse when
the American troops advance, smashing
tho insurgent force and exposing Agui-
naldos false stories of victories.
The food supply of the insurgents is
becoming scarce. Their army is living
on rice. Fishing in the lake around Pasig
has been stopped by the small American
gunboats. In many places the people are
