Buried in o Hall.

Funeral Director A. D. Price was un-
der the necessity OF converting his foe
new hall into q grave yard or q receiy-
ing vault. This vas due. to the Barton
Heights people who have adopted such
restrictive rules that it is well. nigh
impossible to bury any considerable
number OF oolored persons in the COL
ored peoples cemetaries.
Ii seems that the body OF Willie Egg
Rleston reached the city Wednesday
night, 4th inst, and was conveyed to
Mr. Prices establishments. Il was to
be inferred the next day. The funeral
took plaza and with the mourners the
psr:s wendsd their way to the burial
ground.
There they waited. The necessary
permission could not be obtained and
the body was brought back to Prices
Undertaking establishment. Strenu,
Gus and continuous efforts were made
to secure place is one OF the eemeta-
ries, but it was unsuccessful. The
body had remained unburied from
Wednesday until Saturday and had
been on the road several days in tran.
sit from the South.
Finally on Saturday afternoon the
remains were conveyed to Evergreen
Cemetary at the other end of this city
and outside Of the Jurisdiction of Bar
ton Heights.

THE ZAM3ALES VALLEY CAM

CAsrELLAHos, P. l., Feb. 81, 1900. ]
We have just arrived here from San
Antonio in uocan province where We
stayed 3 few days, making it the tenn
porary bass of our general movement.
throughout this the Zambales Valley.
OF which l will give you an idea. The
determination of General Otis to clean,
out thoroughly and establish civil gov
ernments in the cities situated IN the
movement. General Grant moved
from Angeles on December 1, and Csp-
tain OneiPs Battalion, 25sh Infantry
from Bamban. December 3rd. After
marching for three weeks and taking
several hsrrios and towns, General,
Grant reached Subig on the west coast.
OF Luzon situated at the head OF the
right curve OF Subig Bay, and estab-
lished temporary Headqcs. Subig is O.
very hard place to defend, being sur
rounded on all sides. To front is the
Bay, on the right flank river 80 feet
wide from which rises abruptly O ver-
dure covered hill about 700 feet, on
the left is q marsh and q range of high
mountains, in the rear is q high noun
tain. The town In itself is Of no value as
there ara only about six wooden build
ings but for military puposes is inval-
uaole which conclusion the authorities
same to at once.
SCOUTING PARTIES OUT.
Frequent scouting parSies were sens
out. General Grant finally set out to
form Junction with Captain Oneil
who had after engagements st Batoo-
lin, San Fernando del Norte and other
places had taken Iba with brisk en-
gagement four DAYS ahead OF scheduled
time, and had started South to hunt
Grant. Both columns met at San
MsrcalenA 10 miles from Subig and %
from Ibs. The junction having been
formed all hands proceeded to Subig.
After few days' rest, Captain Cneil
returned to Ibs by boat and there took
up station with his command. Com
pany ii, went to Santa Cruz. 90. NJ. to
Batoolin and T. and ! to remain at
headquarters at Ibs.
The fatigue, strain and hard work
through which this meagre command
garrisoned can never be told. Oft
tines they had to fall out and remain
they we're forced 20 retire to the stone
church in the plaza and fight from post
holes. In this condition things re-
mained Hntil on December 9th, Com
pany K, 25th Infantry was ordered to
Santa Cruz to reinforce II, had dwin-
died down to 65 men for duty. Relief
was finally coming to these hardy war
riors on whose mental and nervous
system the strain must have been
something terrible. On January 18th.

ATTITUDE OF JAPAN.
Stated at Jap Embassy In London Her
Desire Was to Cooperate With
other Powers.

LONDON, June 14.-In regard to the
reports that Japan is about to declare
war on China, it was learned at the
Japanese embassy that the attitude of
Japan in the Chinese crisis is to COOP
crate Loyalty with the European powers
The murder of the chancellor of the
japanese legation at Pekin is regarded
as likely to lead to serious complications.
but no decision has been reached by
Japan as to what political measures will
be necessary to meet the situation.
Relative to the reports that the Jap
nnese minister at Pekin is pressing for
she recognition of a japanese sphere of
influence, to include the provinces of
Che Kiang. Fo-Kien and Kiang- ST, it is
pointed out that Japan has already OBJ
tanned promise that the province of
Fo-Kien should be alienated, while
Kiang- 81, situated at the mouth of the
Kang-Tse river, is in the British sphere.

RI0TING AT PEKIN
REACHED ACUTE STAGE.
Attaches of Belgium and British Lega-
ions Attacked British summer
Quarters Destroyed.

WASHINGTON. June 14.-Official dis
patches received in diplomatic quarters
III Washington showed that the rioting
at Pekin had reached an acute stage,
with the rioters directing number of
their assaults against members of the
different foreign legations there. One
OF these dispatches stated that the secre-
tary of the Belgian legation was attack
ed two successive times on Monday
and escaped after being maltreated by
the mob. On the same day two officials
OF the British legation, serving as
student interpreters, were attacked by a
large crowd of roughs, but they checked
the attacking party, finally drawing
revolyers and made made their retreat
without bodily injury About the same
time the British summer quarters,
owned by the British government.
about IA miles from Pekin, burned
down.
This gave added significance to the
depreciation The killing of the cham
cellor of the japanese legation at
Pekin, Sugyamh Akira, was not refer
red to in the official dispatches received
here, but full credit was given TO this
by the japanese officials who are per-
sonally acquainted with Mr. Alzira and
with many of the circumstances de-
tailed
The killing of member of the diplo-
matte body, and the foregoing assaults
upon the officials of foreign countries,
are regarded as presenting the most
sc rious phase of the situation that has
thus far occurred.
