KILLED LAST WEEK
The Two Days Fiesta, at Ma
Mia, Failure.
Edited by the Censor. !

Edited by the Censor.
MANILA, July 3U.-The two days
fiesta in Manila organized by Senior
Palermo and his political followers to
commemorate the amnesty, resulted in
a fiasco. The people We're passive, I'M
enthusiastic and not even interested.
Failing to preceive any tangible, eff
fective results of amnesty they say they
can see no reasons for celebrating.
Judge Taft and his colleagues of the
commission felt constrained to decline
to attend the banquet, as they had been
informed that the speeches would favor
independence, under American protec-
ton and they could not passively lend
their acquiescence by being present.
Senior Palermo, foreseeing the suspen-
sion of the banquet without the Ameri-
cans, frantically appealed to them to at
tend, promising that there should be no
speeches.
The provost's precautions We're eX-
ttene The guards We're doubled both
DAYS and the authorities forbade the dis
play of Filipino flage and of pictures of
President Mckinley and Aguinaldo fra
ternally framed.
The fiesta was generally considered TO
have been premature and unfortunate.
During last week IS scouting ten Ameri-
cans were killed and IA wounded. One
hundred and eighty Fiipinos were killed
and go taken prisoners. Forty insur-
gent rifles We're captured.

that this was a detail that must be fixed
by the military commanders upon the
spot a message came to the war de-
partment from the quaEtermaster on
the Lenox announcing Che arrival Of
that ship, together with the Conemaugh,
at Kobe, Japan They have the mounts
for the Sixth cavalry, and although they
will not start for Talzu ~ once, not less
than five days will be consumed in this
last stage OF the voyage. 1t is doubtful
whether General Chaffee would care to
leave Taku without horses for the Sixth
cavalry, particularly as according TO all
reports mounted cavalry is needed for
successful operations III the fiat country
lying between Taku and Tien Tgin.
This fact alone may delay operations
until late in the present week, though
at least portion of the international
column may start on the day fixed,
namely, today. Assurances received
here showed that the japanese govern
ment was doing all in its power to IA
cilitate the international movement, and
though the good will of the japanese
was never suspected, as far as the
United States is concerned, the knowl-
edge is gratifying. Secretary Long had
cable message from the commander of
the Buffalo, at Hongkong, stating that
be had sailed for Taku. The Buffalo is

later left for San Francisco, whence he
will sail on the japanese steamer Amer
lean Maru on Aug. 3.
Mrs Rockhill accompanies her hus-
band and will remain III Shanghai while
he conducts his investigation
Asked if he would endeavor to reach
Pekin to treat with the Chinese govern
ment direct, he replied in part:
81 think not, unless circumstances
warrant it and the county is quiet
enough to render possible the success o f
such an expedition.
Il shall make my headquarters at
Shanghai and investigate conditions as
far northward as circumstances and the
troubled conditions will permit. My
sole duty Is to keep the president and
secretary of state advised as to the situa-
ton. Outside of that | am not empow-
cred to do anything"

No. he answered. My orders can
be summed up in two words, 'investi-
gate conditions. In case the govern
ment has further orders for me they
undoubtedly will be cabled."

COL. LISCUM SENT SPY
49, BEFORE HE DIED
State Department Expecting
Important News.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-There was a
growing expectation at the state depart
ment that news of the utmost import
ance may be forthcoming at any mo-
ment from Pekin.
Some cablegrams received fIom there
referred TO minor matters and did not
touch upon conditions i'll the Chinese
capital
1t was believed that the basis for the
expectation is the knowledge on the part
of the officials that certain machinery
heretofore set III motion may result in
the opening up of communication
through some secret but reliable chan
nels. 1t was known that second effort
has been made by our own government
to get another message from Mr. Con-
ger, and that nearly all of the powers
also have resorted to private agencies in
their own interest with like object.
The fact developed that one OF The
last acts Of Colonel Liscum before his
death at Tien Tsin was to undertake tile
dispatch of a spy to Pekin. Gener
Dorward, the British commanding Of
ficer at lien Tsin, also sent out two
messengers, and it was believed that che
japanese did the same. As far as de
veloped here Sunday, not one of these
messengers had returned to Tien Tsin
nor had there been single word heard
from any OF them. This fact, however,
had not caused the abandonment
hope, and this was true in particular Of
the message expected from Mr.. Conger.
Minister Wa is perhaps the basis of this
hope ON our part, and he maintained an
mistaken confidence in his original as
sertion that the news, when it does
come, viii show that the legationers are
alive. The message reported to have
come through Missionary Wilder, at
Che Foo, was regarded as most prom
ising.
