Tn, Revolt IN sero..

Manila, Jan. 21.-Mail advices from
Negros bring particulars of the upris-.
ing last month In the southern part OF
the island In which Lieutenant a: u
Lcdyard. Sixth Infantry, was killed.
Instead of being an unimportant revolt
of native police. as II was at first re-
ported. II appears to have been an at
tempt to overthrow American author
ity. The movement WIS started by
the chief officials of the autonomous
government. the men who were elected
and lnaugurated with 80 much cere-
mony last November
Eleven of these officials, including
the president and several councillors,
We're lodged In jail on charge OF plot
ting treason. Several secured their re-
lease upon heavy bonds, but others re-
main in prison.
General Smith found evidence that
the revolving police were following the
orders of the autonomous government,
which designed to use the forces under
its control to overpower the Americans.
The plot failed through being started
prematureIy. but Negros was In n
state OF uneasiness for week. Two
companies OF infantry were hurried
from Iloilo to reinforce the garrison at
BacololO.

rrcncn TO u,e our Locomotlve.,

Philadelphia, Jan. 22.-Thc Baldwin
Locomotive Works Obtained another
large order for engines from France.
The order, which is for thirty large ten
wheeled passenger engines. is from the
Paris & Orleans railway, and is the
first order for locomotives ever placed
by the company with an American
firm.
In design and manner of construction
these engines will differ but little from
the ten-wheeled passenger engines built
by the Baldwin WORKS for American
railways. They will be heavier than
any at present in use on the Paris &
Orleans railway. showing that French
railway officials are awakening to the
Importance of heavier motive power
and heavier equipment. The engines
are to be shipped by August LIST.
The Baldwin works have just ship
ped five locomotives to the Great Cen
trail railway of England and five to the
Great Northern.

woLcorr AND THE PHILIPPINES

Senator wolcott's reply to Senator
Pettigrew on the Philippine question
was a scathing and timely rebuke to
the gentleman from South Dakota and
his fellow American Tagalos, who are
banging away with their blunder-
standing, as Senator wolcott says.
there Is mot an honest Democrat who
did not admit that II his party We're in
power the first thing to be done would
be to crush the insurrection.'
The Colorado senator said; Scat
tered through every community there
were the discontented and unhappy
people who had not been successful
and who viewed with suspicion and
hatred all those whose lives had been
crowned with success. who behind ev-
cry good action looked for lurking,
sinister purpose" The people are fit-
tingly represented In the United States
Senate by such a man as Pettigrew,
for during all the years l have known
him." stated Senator Wolcott. Il never
knew him TO say a kind or friendly
word about single person or single
cause"
senator Wolcott warmly defended
the position of the President. who has
taken no step THAT did not reflect
honor upon the people of the United
States" He read from the Presidents
message the extract about the duty of
the government after the insurrection
was over. to spare mo effort to build
up the waste place" .'to open schools
and churches" ''to foster trade and
industry" and concluding with the
words that II was their liberty. not
our power, which we are seeking 10
enhance"
In speaking of TIE attitude OF the
United States toward the Philippines,
Senator Wolcott maintained that we
took the islands mot as conquest but
rs one OF the highest duties we owed
the human rnce." He upheld the re-
tention OF the Philippines upon the
high grounds of humanity and not be-
cause Of their value to us in dollars
and cents.
His address. while not n studied
speech. was n notable one. as all of
Senator Wolcott's utteranees are. He
showed that the United States govern
ment owes II to itself and to the ma
tives that II establish peace and good
government In the islands. and that
our first duty, In carrying out such
policy, is to quell the insurrectIoa.-
