PLAGUE IN HAWAII.


Washington, Feb. 6. 8.-Surgeon-Gen-
eral Sternberg has received q report
from Major Blair Talyor, surgeon, U.
s. A., in regard to the progress of the
bubopic plague in Honolulu. His re-
port is dated at the United States mill
tary hospital, Honolulu, January II,
and says that up to that date there
have been "a cases Of bubonic plague
in the city of Honolulu, with 27 deaths.
"The situation is very serious"
said Surgeon Taylor, "as the disease
has broken. out in several isolated places
outside of the originally infected dis.
trict. One soldier of the Hawaiian
National Guard is dead of the disease,
and q white woman from one of the

Methuen Preparing to Move Whom

London, Feb. 8.-Lord Roberts has
caused to be distributed in the towns
bordering upon the inavded colonial
territory an invitation to Free Staters
and Transvaalers to go into the desert,
Offering them good treatment and a
restoration to their farms on the Brit
ish occupation of republican territory.
The manifesto guarantees that those

to surrender in preference to bs taken

Troops are no longer detained at
Cape Town. They proceed Immediately
to some point at the front. Three
thousand embarked Monday and were
quickly sent elsewhere. No public
reception was given to the arriving vol
unteers at Cape Town, because they
had to leave Immediately. As Lord
Roberts, since the battle of Spionkop,
has had 30, 900 fresh troops to dispose
of, it is probable that some have gone
to General Butler.
The World says it learns that Lord
Methuen has disbanded Remingtons'

commands, because he had ascertained
that some members of the corps had
been communicating with the Beers.

sofa, made an exhaustive legal argu-
ment in support of the right to hold
and govern the islands. The other
speakers were Gibson, Of Tennessee.
w. A. and H. G. Smith, Of Michigan,
Cochran, Of Missouri, and Neville, Of
Nebraska. The general debate ON the
diplomatic bill closed today, and to-
morrow 1t will be taken up for amend
ment under the five-minute rule.
Until the financial measure, now
pending before the senate, shall have
been disposed Of finally, 1t will be con-
sidered by the senate every legislative
day, to the exclusion of all except
purely routine business. This agree
ment will have the effect OF cutting
of all debate on the Philippine ques-
tion or other matters except by unani-
nous consent Of the senate, unless
senators choose to discuss other ques-
tions in the time they devote to the
financial bill. Caffery, of Louisiana,
concluded his speech on the Philippine
question, holding that the United
States ought to restore in the islands
the status quo and then confer inde'
pendence upon the Filipinos.

Kobbe's Expedition to Samar

by TagSl Rebels.

Manila. Feb. 7.-Brigadier- General
Kobbe's expedition in the islands Of
Luson, Leyte and Samar has occupied
permanently and garrisoned nine towns
with the Forty third and Forty seventh
regiments. This has placed ON the
market lsO, 900 bales of hemp.
A thousand insurgents armed with
rifles, and over 5000 armed with
wooden swords, bows and arrows, were
encountered during the entire trip.
The troops killed IS natives, IL Of
whom had rifles. The others were vii.
layers armed with wooden swords.
The American losses were one man
killed and nine wounded. The Ameri.
cans captured $4,000 in gold, the
enemy's money. and 40 muzzle-losding
brass cannon. At Calbayog, Samar,
the enemy evacuated the town, the
Americans chasing, fighting and scat.
tering them to the mountains.
At Cabalogan, Lukbsn. the Tagal
general fired the place with kerosene
Just before the Americans landed, and
then fought with cannon and rifles from
the hills encircling the town, for two
hours. When the Filipinos were
driven out, the Americans did their
best to save the town, fighting fire for
several hours. Thirty stone and 20
other houses, half the business portion
of the place, was consumed. The SOL
diers prevented the fire from spreading.
The next day Major Allen, with three
companies of the Forty-third regiment,
pursued Lukban to the mountain fast
nesses, and thence to the coast town,
where Lukban was heading. in hopes
of escape. Lukban, by taxing the ma
tives, has accumulated 100000 in
gold. His capture is probable.
At Tacloban, island of Leyte, the
enemy evacuated the town and the
Americans pursued them to the hills,
Several fleeing noncombatants wer<
killed, including three women. At
Palo, seven miles distant, the enemy
were found entrenched, and resisted.
