pemand eleven E.ecutlon..

Pekin, Oct. 31.-At a meeting Of the
ministers of ten powers 1t was unani-
mOusly decided to demand the execu-
ton Of Prince Tuan and four other
Manchu princes. one duke and three
ministers, a total Of nine named for
punishment In the edict Of September
25th. besides Governor Shansi and
General Tung Fuhsiang. eleven in all.
This compromises most Of the highest
officials, who were the leading spirits
Of the massacres and richly deserve
their probable fate. There are many
other guilty officers, but none more
ferocious and influential.
The execution OF these eleven will do
substantial justice and remove the
worst obstacle to a satisfactory treaty
and a permanent peace. These men
would prove a constant menace to fu-
ture good government and amicable
foreign relations.

IN NEGROS
Deep Laid Plot to Overthrow
American Authority.
Gen. Smith Secures Evidence That Nearly
All the ORcials in the Autonomous
Government Were In the Plot.
Eleven Arrested.

MANILA, Jan. 21.-Mail advices from
Negros bring particulars of the uprising
last month in the southern part OF the
island, in which Lieut.. A. {. Ledyard,
Sixth infantry, was killed. Instead OF
being an unimportant revolt of native
police, aswas at first reported, it appears
to have been an attempt to overthrow
American authority. The movement
was started by the chief officials of the
autonomous government, the men who
were elected and inaugurated with so
much ceremony last November.
Eleven of these officials, including
the president and several councillors,
were lodged in Jail on a charge of plot
ting treason. Severa secured release
under heavy bonds, but others remain
in prison.
Gen. Smith found evidence that the
revolving police were following the or
derS of the autonomous government,
which designed to use the forces under
its control to overpower the Americans.
The plot failed through being started
prematurely, but Negroes was in a state
of uneasiness for a week. Two COM
panies of the Tw~enty-siNth infantry
were hurried from Iloilo to reinforce the
garrison at Bacolcld.
The officials arrested include some of
the most prominent men in Negroes. 1t
is believed that they will be expelled
from the island.
