with a signal corps party, engaged in
running telegraph line, was camped
near the place. Major Kobbe sent the
army gunboat Cavadonga there and
found thu party tolay in the town.
The Rio Grande, since Major Kobbe
started, has been the highway for the
exodus of the natives, and today there
is continuous procession of matched
canoes, with white flags, drifting down
the river and containing whole families
Of twenty to thirty persons, with their
household goods and animals on board.
Thousands of these boats have passed

Nebraskans to Take a Rest.
The Nebraska regiment marched
from San Fernando to Calumpit for a
80 days rest. The regiment numbers
about 800 weather beaten veterans. Two
of the companies are mere squads and
their battered canteens and shiny clothes
show unmistakeable marks Of rough
campaigning. But the soldiers are
happy. Several of them dropped by the
way from the heat but when they
boarded the special train at Calumpit,
bound for Manila, they yelled like
school boys and the other troops went
to their stations and cheered heartily.

Mandarins Ordered to COncen-
trate All Their Available
Fighting Men
And Send Them to Oppose Fur
Their Advance of Germans Into
Shan Tung.
Arsenals Ordered to Push the
Manufacture of Arms With
All Haste.

VICTORIA, B. c., May 1s.-According
to news received by the Empress of In
dia. China will resist further aggression
by the flowers. That China intends to
oppose the advance of Germany in the
north is shown by the fact that recently
orders were sent to the mandarins and
taetaes of all districts and provinces, Or
dering them to concentrate what fight
ing men they could and prepare for war
The arsenals have been ordered to push
forward the manufacture of arms and
ammunition with all haste. A late
edict places Viceroy Liu in charge of
the people. The Chinese navy also, &C.
cording to late reports, is getting ready
for an emergency.
Trouble has occurred recently in Shan
Tung and German missionaries have
been ill treated. Germany is sending
expeditions to punish the natives, burn
ing villages and gradually pushing her
way inward, until very shortly she will
have possession of the whole province.
The Kobe Herald says that the Ger
man plan is to establish German king
dom, with Prince Henry as ruler, as
previously stated in Pekin dispatches.

German Newspaper Comment on the Sit
uation in the philippines.
Berlin. Lay 2.-The newspapers Of
German. commenting upon the latest
news from the Philippine islands, ex-
press the nope that the United States
will now end the hostilities in the far
East. The Frankfurter Zeitung says:
We trust that President Mckinley
and his advisers will not be misled by
lingo shoutings, but that they will listen
to the voice of the Filipinos as ex-
pressed through their leaders and to the
voice of the American nation as ex-
pressed by the serious press and the
declarations of sober-minded politicians.
We have never doubted the ability of
the Americans to enforce their will in
the Philippines, but now it seems that
the moment has come to make good the
wrong done and bring their material
interests in accord with the dictates of
justice.
Tho Vossiche Zeitung, basing its COM
ment upon private advices from the
Philippine islands, says that the contin-
uance of the war is inficting grave in
jury upon German commercial inter-
ests and details number of cases in
support of this statement. The journal
last quoted says the German consul at
Iloilo made a list of everything belong
ing to German citizens there that was
destroyed or injured in the lombard
ment and submitted it to Major General
E. S. Otis. In reply the consul has re-
ceived from General Otis the statement
that the United States will not pay the
damages claimed, as Iloilo, at the time
of the bombardment, was still in pos
session of the Spaniards. Other German
merchants of Iloilo made representa-
lions of d like character to General Otis
and received similar replies.
The Vossiche Zeitung adds that these
and many more claims will probably
lead to protracted diplomatic negotia-
lions at Washington.

PRESBYTERIANS MEET.

General Assembly at Minneapolis VIII
BE Kept Very Busy.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 1S.-At II o'clock
a. NJ. the 18th annual assembly of. the
Presbyterian church IN the United
States will begin its sessions in West
minister church in this city.
About $50 commissioners will be in
attendance from the % synods and the
assembly will bring to the city some 81
foreign missionaries, besides many per.
sons interested in the eight auxiliary
boards and other church organizations,
including the seven. women's foreign
missions boards. The opening sermon
will be preached by the retiring moder-
orator, the Rev. Wallace Radcliffe,
DID,, of Washington. D. g.
In the afternoon the assembly will be
organized and new moderator elected.
At least seven candidates for the mod
eratorship have been announced, but
there is prospect that the contest will
narrow down to one between the "heresy
hunters" and those who are disposed to
overlook heterodox tendencies. The
Rev. William McKibben of Walnut
Hill church, Cincinnati, is sup
posed to be the candidate of the con-
servatives, the other candidates
being Rev. DR.. r. F. Coyle, First
church, Oakland, CAL; Rev. DR.. R. F.
Sample, Westminster church, New
York; Rev. Matthias Haines, First
church, Indianapolis; Rev. Maltbie D.
Babcock, Brown Memorial church, Bal
timore; Rev. Charles Dickey, president
Presbyterian hospital, Philadelphia;
DR.. Arthur J. B. Brown, New York,
secretary of the board of foreign mis-
sions.
The assembly has a great mass of
business to face. Among the more con-
spicuous subjects are the so-called
heresy case of DR.. Arthur G. McGiffert
of Union theological seminary, which
may be settled by the letter DR.. McGif-
fert is known to have addressed to the
assembly; the matter of restricting the
moderator's power; the union of the
Northern and Southern wings of the
church, and the standing of ministers
without pastorates. The work of the
eight boards, three special committees
and numerous routine matters will come
before the assembly, there being some
80 separate items on the docket. To dis
pose of this business three sessions will
be held daily for 10 days at least, the
evening session being omitted until
later on. The board of foreign missions
began its fourth annual conference
Tuesday.

driven through the city to the Ayun-
tamiente.
The party was closeted with General
Otis for more than an hour; but the in
terview was decidedly unsatisfactory,
the commission having nothing to pro-
pose and unempowered to negotiate
terms The commissioners brought a
communication direct from Aguinaldo
asking for an armistice pending the
direction of the Filipino congress as to
what policy should be adopted, AS be-
fore, General Otis refused to entertain
the proposition.
The commissioners, after leaving the
city hall. accepted an invitation to visit
the Oregon and the other vessels of the
American fleet i'll the bay, and they
were also granted permission to see their
families before returning.

MANILA, May 22.-7:50 a. m.-Colonel

the outskirts of San Luis, where several
hundred Filipinos were entrenched on
the banks of the stream. The rebels re-

boats steamed ahead, all the way train
ing their Gatling guns upon the banks
and dropping shells wherever uniforms
appeared ON the shore. The gunboats
dispersed the insurgents before San
Luis. After they had passed, sharp
hundred yards distant, harassed the
Seventeenth infantry which was march
ing by tours along the narrow, wooded
road, from which the troops were I'M
able to see the enemy. The members of
one battalion laid on their faces in the
road for quarter of an hour trying to
locate the rifiemen and return their fire.
Two Americans were wounded.
The road wound close to the stream,
and was thickly settled. 1t was pic
turesque march. Many groups of hun
dreds of natives were clustered under
the trees on the opposite banks, dis
playing white shirts, towels, sheets or
anything white, on poles. Some shouted
welcomes to the American soldiers, but
most of them maintained sullen ST.
lence.
An old man in carriage met the
troops two miles outside of the town.
He said: 81 have lived in England and
I have told the people that the Ameri-
cans are like the English, and that they
need not be afraid"
Half Afraid of Massacre.
Captain Grant, in command Of the
gunboats, landed before the troops ar
welcome. The natives, who had assem-
bled on the shore, crowded about the
Americans with fulsome expressions of
friendship, apparently half afraid that
they would be massacred.
Captain Grant quickly distributed
the men from the gunboat La Guna de
Bay to guard the town, and the natives
sent messenger to tell the people, who
had taken refuge in the swamps to re-

improvised flag of truce flying from a
bamboo pole preceding each party.
A Capuchin priest, one of the few
whom Filipinos had not imprisoned,
was found at Candaba. He said it was
useless to try to convince the natives the
Americans had not cometo Cypress them,
as they believed their leaders, who had
strongly impressed this belief upon
them, and who have been told stories of
massacres, rape and Filipino victories.
The walls of the towns were placarded
with the reports of the slaughter Of
Americans, hundreds, of whom were
said to have been taken prisoners.
Rice Stores Raided.
AS soon as Major, Kobbe reached San
Lula, the natives raided the insurgents
rice stores. All day stream of half
naked people emerged from the store
house in the manner of ants, rushing to
their houses vita bags of rice on their
heads.
On Thursd y night body of rebels

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
The fact that m has had the wis
dom to secure an ample support for
his family in the due to their
station in life, satisfaction for the
wants of his wi declining years, and
indemnity for his creditors, sven when
he has passed out of the sphere of their
vision, goes far to show hat he is
sound, in judgment as in honesty, and
that he can be trusted.
We all have personal knowledge OF
many instances hat prove the wisdom
of life insurance. In fact they are SO
common that I hardly feel justified in
giving you a single las in my own ex-
%perience. A number of years ago, at
the close of a busy day, I went to the
West Side to find a minister before
whom l had once stood to take the
marriage vow. I found him and his
wife alone in meager quarters, both
sick and without mean or income,
and apparently friendless. Their chill
dren had grown up, drifted away, and
were unable to help. The good man,
as l approached his bed and he became
aware OF my presence, said in a feeble
but confident tone: Il had just closed
my eyes and said, The Lord is my
shepherd, I shall not want" It is not
proper of me to speak further of what
followed, except that they were kindly
cared for. Both regained a measure
OF health and lived a number OF years,
so that when the good al passed
to his reward I found that he owed me
over $1,000, advanced for maintenance
and for premiums on a 10000 policy
in a company represented at this ia
BILE. The amount was paid promptly.
my money was returned, and the resi-
due maintained the widow until her
death and still left over 5000 to be
