MUCH COMMENT N ENGLAND
The Irritation Displayed in Wash
ington Appreciated.
WILL NOT. MIX TARIFF ISSUES.

London, April 24.-Inquires made by
the Associated Press regarding the at
titude of Great Britain and other pow
ers toward the American-Turkish
difficulty reveals the fact that no one
has the slightest intention of inter
fering in any way. The British gov
eminent officials do not disguise their
delight at the firm stand taken by
Washington, and hope the sultan's OBJ
stinacy will for once fail to achieve its
ends. Great Britain herself during
past years has had much trouble in
exacting payment of debts from the
''sick man of the East" and appre-
ciates the irritation displayed at Wash
ington. The British ambassador at
Constantinople has informed the for
eign Office of the conditions existing,
but merely verifying what has already
been published. So far Lord Salisbury
has sent him no instructions, but the
Associated Press is officially informed
that Great Britain and the other pow
representations regarding the increase
in the Turkish tariffs have no intention
of pooling their issues upon the Amer
lean claims or in any way associGting
the tariff matter with that dispute.

HEAVY FILIPINO LOSSES.
Greater Than During Any Previous
Week Since Fighting Began.
BLOODIEST WEEK OF THE WAR.

Manila. April 94.-Last week has
been one of the bloodiest of the war
since the first days fighting around
Manila Authentic reports, mostly
official, show a total of as Filipinos
killed, twelve officers and pa men cap
tured and many more wounded. The
number wounded is hardly guessable.
Considering that the Filipinos entirely
lack hospital facilities, great ma ority
of the wounded will die Probably the
weeks work finished nearly 1000 in
surgents. The American loss was nine
killed and sixteen wounded. Two ser
geants and one private were killed in
ambushes while escorting provision
trains.
The insurgents have been aggressive
in almost every province of Luzon.
General Pho del Pillars band, number
ing 300, which was out of sight for three
months, the leader being reported
killed, has reappeared in its old field
about San Miguel. Pillar is supposed
to be again in command. He gave the
American garrison at San Miguel, con-
sisting of three companies of the Thirty
fifth infantry with gatling, three
hours fight, during a night attack.
The loss of the insurgents in this en-
gagement is not included in the fore
going total, as they removed their dead
and wounded, but presumably it was
| considerable.
Colonel Smiths command captured
| $50 officers and men with Montenegro.
The officers were brought to Manila.
Montenegro, who was formerly one of
the most dapper officers in the Filipino
army. looks worn and haggard. He
says he led terrible life for months
and he has offered to return to the
north with Colonel Smith to endeavor
to pursuade his former comrades of the
uselessness of opposing the Americans.

worse than all, it has often been these
