yet there Is nothing 20 show the name Of

Ten bodies have been located among the

BILE to get at the name Of the steamer from
pieces of boats wedged in the clefts OF ths

IL appears that the ships funnel was

1t is also thought that the photograph

WAS SENATOR HoAR's SPEECH.
That Caused the InsurrectIOn Says
ex-Minister Barrett.

Chicago, Jan. 1A--John Barrett. x-Unit-
ed States minister to Siam, for the first
time publicly named Senator Hoar, last
night, at Lake Forest University, as the
United States senator whose anti-expan-
subsequently, put in the hands of the Fill
ipino soldiers, causing, as Mr. Barrett
believed, the open insurrection.
Frequently this speech and its presumed
effect have been mentioned and the read
ing public has connected the name Of
Senator Hoar with 1t, and it is probable
that Mr.. Barrett would not have used the
lawmakers name on this occasion had he
not been facing an audience known to be
largely hostile 20 the administration pol
icy in the Oriental islands.
It appeared further from the ex-minis-
ter's speech that the government has dis
covered privately the stages by which the
anti-expansion address reached Luzon.
AT the close of the meeting Mr.. Barrett
was cheered and the audience of several
hundred people waited in line to shake
hands with him.
In the course of his address, which was
on the general subject of the philippines -
the speaker said it had been discovered
in the government Investigation that Sem
ator Hoar's speech was cabled in cipher
and in fragments to Paris, where it was
put together and forwarded 10 Hong
Kong The message included several thou
sand words, and the cost for transmission
was said to have been $4,000. 1t interested
the government to know what friends the
Filiplnos had at this time who were in a
position to send the message.
Il was in Hong Kong at the time" said
Mr. Barrett, land l remember the Incl
dent distinctly. l was coming down stairs
in the hotel when / met the president of
the Hong Kong junta and he had in his
hand the long dispatch he had just re-
ceived. 1t gave a large part of Senator
Hoar's speech in full and a summary of
the rest of it. I asked the president what
he was going to DO with it and he told
me that he meant to send it to the Of
ficers of the army In the Philippines He
was urged not to do it, but he protested
that it had been printed in the United
States and was public property.
-Four days after that speech had been
delivered it was in the hands of those
who saw an opportunity to make political
capital of it. The speech was published
and distributed among the soldiers and
believe it was the eliminating influence
that brought about the open insurrection.
This speech, you must remember, was
delivered before there was an open insur-
rectiOn."

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Senate will
probably resume the consideration of the

for certain information concerning the be-
ginning of the war In the Philippines Mon
day morning.
This will be followed at 2 O'Clock by
speech on the financial bill by Senator
Rawlins of Utah IL the present programme
Is followed. Senator Pettigrew viii con-
tinue his speech on the Philippine resolu-

concerning the seizure of American goods
by Great Britain will be taken up
II Is Senator Aldrich's announced pur-
pose to press consideration of the fnan-
cial bill each day after the conclusion Oe
the morning hour, but II Is not probable
that he viii succeed in securing a daily
speech on that subject. Senator Telar
probably will speak some time during this
week, after Senator Rawlins concludes
Ii is also understood that Senator Daniel
will be heard soon on the question of the
finances. Other addresses on this subject
will come later.

Appropriation bills TO Come Up in
the House This Week.

the House This Week.
Washington. Jan. 1.-THE House will
plunge into the routine work of the ses-
sion this week. Most of the time, except
ing Friday, which has been set apart for
paying tribute to the memory of the late
Vice President Hobart will be devoted
to the consideration of appropriation bills.
1t is expected that both the urgent de-
ficiency and the pension appropriation
bills will be passed this week. The for
mer containing as II does, many millions
for the army and navy, may raise the
whole questions as to the insurrection in
the Philippines with its allied issues and
lead to a very protracted debate. How
far the Republican leaders will allow the
debate to run has not yet been determin-
ed but IL the Democrats are persistent
they can hardly refuse them several days
in view of the large amount of the appro-
priations involved.
The pension appropriation bill Is also
likely to cause some spirited debate, ow-
ing TO the disposition In certain quarters
to crlticise the conduct Of the pension Of
fee Attempts doubtless will be made to
Iegislate upon the bill reversals OF SOME
of the pension commissioners rulings, but
as all such legislation is subject to a
point Of order 1t will fail.
There is no present prospect that the
Roberts case will get into the House be-
fore next week.

pur6an, Friday, Jan. 12.-The entire alb
sence of news from Chievely or Frere

rumor here that Ladysmith has been re-
Heved.
London, Jan. 15 4:SO a. m.-Lord Rob
errs enigmatical announcement, mo

aIay public anxiety or to explain the
mystery surrounding Gen. Buffers move
ments on the Tugela, and, although there
is a disposition to regard the dispatch as
disposing of Saturdays adverse rumors
the week has opened in a state of suspense
almost equal to that Of last week, because
it is recognized that failure in Gen. Bull
lers present attempt would seal the fate
of Ladysmith.
Presumably no change in the situation"
refers to previous dispatches sent to the
war office, which have not yet been re-
veaed TO the public. Except the an
nouncement of the seizure of Potigeters
Drift, and of the advance of Gen. War
rem, there has been no news from the
Tugela for a week. A ray of hope is seen
in the fact that the same silence prevails
from the Boer side. Thus it may, per-
haps, be fairly inferred that Gen. Butler
has not yet met serious check
If the announcement of Gen. Warren's
movement be correct, it is evident that
Gen. Buffers forces are spread over a
very wide front-perhaps twenty-five miles
and in the event of a sudden fall of
the river, his opera tione might be full of
danger. 1t is believed that Gen. Butler
has no good survey maps of the district.
This Will add to his difficulties
Future Depends on 1t.
Sir Charles Warrens advance probably
means an attempt TO seize Hlangwane
hill, the main post of the Beers south of
the Tugela. Upon the success or failure
OF these operations depends the whole
future of the campaign. Until the result
Is known, Lord Roberts will be unable 10
decide how to dispose the two divisions
and the reinforcements now arriving.
The news of the other points is of no
great Importance. Boer accounts tell of
another sortie from Kimberley on Jan.
in the direction of Kamfers Dam, with
a brisk exchange of firing, but no result
A heavy detonation was heard on Jan s
within Kimberley.

that Kimberley was being bombarded.

TO PREVENT AN UPRISING.
Every Effort VIII BE Made to Keep
Down the Cree Indians.

Down the Cree Indians.
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Jan. I-Every eff
fort will be made to hold off a possible
rising of the Cree Indians who are talk
ing in a threatening manner. 1t is known
that many chiefs are eager to strike a
blow at the British, but the officials are
confident that peace will be maintained.
Assistant Commissioner Lash, in an in
terview to-day, said he believed that
strangers have been preaching sedition to
the red men but he says, the government
is prepared for any trouble and will make
a thorough investigation of the Indian
sentiment.
Little alarm is felt over the situation,
it being held that enough troops are with
in reach to keep the reds In check. The
chief plea of the leaders of the anti
British movement among the Indians is
That England is attempting to rob the
Beers of their homes as they did the
tribes during the 1855 rebellion, and that
with the imperial army weakened, a ris-
ing now might prove successful.

PROSECUTIONS FOR TREASON.
Some of the British Look Upon Them
ImpOIitic.

Cape Town, Wednesday, Jan. 1O.-The
proceedings for treason instituted against
the Dutch coonials who were taken in
arms at Sunnyside are being pressed. Wit
nesses have been interrogated to-day, the
preliminary examination before the mag
istrate will be held later, and the trial
will probably be conducted by the Su-
preme Court.
The colonial Dutch point out that these
prosecutions will serve to make more reb-
els as they consider the treatment of the
prisoners designed to terrify them. Some
BritOns regard the prosecutions as i'm
polite in view of the fact that the Beers
are able to retaliate upon the 100 British
officers and 900 privates in their hands,
and might do so unless all who fight in
the Beers ranks are treated as prisoners
of war.
The Beers keep up continuous sniping
near Dordrecht.
Five colonial scouts were captured on
Monday.
Yesterday the American residents gave
dinner to Webster Davis, United States
assistant secretary of the interior
Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener were
most fervidly received on their arrival at

Mr.. Davis was present at the reception
rendered at the government house to Lord
Roberts and Lord Kitchener. At the ban
quet given Mr.. Davis Consul General

fact that several members of the Cape

GREAT SCARCITY OF COAL.
Compelling Manufacturing Concerns
TO Shut Down.

Philadelphia, Jan. H.-Inability to se-

At Birdsboro the plant Of the Brooke
Iron Company has been shut down for
several days, but 1t is expected that by
tomorrow sufficient coal will be on hand
to enable some of the departments, If not
the entire plant, to resume.
The Reading Iron Company is practical-
ly without coal, and unless it can be se-
cured a temporary shut down must fol-
