Another development was the unques-

place as manifested in the convention, and
the desire expressed in many quarters for
his selection.
The selection, however, Is complicated
by the fact that New York stands in the
way of the selection of either Hill or Dam

Secretary uay Demand. News.

Chicago, July IA special to the
Tribune from Washington says;
Secretary Hay to-day demanded OF
the Chinese government that the Dc
partment tse put in communication
with Minister canger without delay.
This demand was made upon WI. the
Chinese minister. who has. mo doubt,
laid the matter before his government
In n roundabout way, through Sheng'
director of the Chinese telegraph.
Secretary Hay has grown impatient
at the delays in hearing from an au-
theutfc source the truth about the con-
tiitions ln Pekin, especially III regard to
Minister Conger.
Apparently the imperial government
ut Pekin, the secretary declared when
the Chinese minister appeared with a
copy of the imperial decree, was IN
communication with the outside world,
and there was no reason why Washing
ton should not be permitted to com
municate to its representative at the
Chinese capital.
Secretary Hay pointed out that
while some credence should be put in
adyIces from Pesin. all of which came
from Chinese sources, the best way TO
prove their accuracy and authenticity
was to permit Mr.. Conger TO send a
message to his government
II is believed the position taken by
Secretary Hay will produce Immediate
results.

ing out with flying colors in each.
Captain Dodd's force, consisting of
eighty-seven men and ninety-three
horses, left Vigan, the capital of nocos
Sur province, on April Sth, and headed
northward. Early on the morning of
the 18th instant his command encoun-
tered large party of insurgents under
Gregorio Aghpay in the mountains
near Badoc.
In fierce fight, lasting an hour, for
ty-nine insurgents We're killed, four
mortally wounded and forty-four We're
made prisoners. The affray took place
in a thick jungle, which made the
movements of the soldiers very diff
cult. The command then proceeded to
hunt down a large body of insurgents
which were believed to be somewhere
in the vicinity of BaGoc. At daylight
on the 25th instant they met their
quarry and another sharp engagement
took place. The bolomen are said to
have fought with great ferocity, and
the troopers were obliged to put aside
their carbines and close in with their
revolvers in the hand-to-hand fighting.
In this fight 12O insurgents We're killed
outright and five captured with rifles
and horses. Captain Dodd's only cas-
ualty was n spear wound suff cred by
Sergeant Coppeck in the fighting at
close quarters. This engagement, says

tempted uprising in Iloco Norte, and
