tho Government
London, (By Cable. John Morley, the
former Liberal lender addressing his con-
stltuents at Forfar, Scotland made little
reference to the present aspects OF the war
In South Africa. combining himself chiefly to
u renewal OF his indictment OF the "policy
which lcd to hostllities."
He ridiculed "the notion that few Boer
successes entitled the Transvaal to be de-
scrlbed as q first-class military power" and
declared that "the fact Of the Beers sending
the ultimatum no more disposed OF all other
questions than the defiance of the American
colonists. in throwing the tea into Boston
harbor, disposed OF all the questions OF the
war OF American independence.
"It is certain, continued Mr.. Morley, that
had the Government appreciated the temper
OF the Transvaal people and foreseen what
was comlng-what we all know in these
black, gloomy days--thero would have been
no war. 1t Is dreadful, but true that want
OF decent foresight and decent information
led the Government to stumble into war in
tho dark
"Iord Salisbury's menaclng speech OF July
2S, II applied to great power, could only
have meant war. 1t was absurd, IL the Gov
ernment really believed in Dutch conspir-
acy, to spend time in negotiations regarding
the franchise. The conspiracy was an after
thought OF the Government, conjured up to
mask hideous and Rhastly blunder."
Ia conclusion MIR. Morley declined to COM
nit himself as to what would happen in the
future, but he warned his hearers not to he
duped by the idea that the Beers, after de-
feat, would settle down quietly.

DANGEROUS REVOLT.
PLOT OF THE AUTONOMOUS GOVERN
MENT OFFICIALS.
THE AMBUSH AT LIPA.
Eleven of the Native Oficiais, Including
the President and Several Councillors,
Sent to Prison on the Charge of Plotting
Trenson-what the Investigation Shows
Prominent Men Arrestek.

Manila, (By Gable. Mail advlces from
Negros bring particulars Of the uprising last
month In the southern part Of the island, In
which Lieutenant A. @. Ledyard, Sixth In
fantry, was killed. Instead OF being an un-
important revolt Of native police, as was at
first reported, 1t appears to have been an
attempt to overthrow American authority.
The movement was started by the chief offi-
cials OF tho autonomous government, the
men who were elected and inaugurated with
80 much ceremony last November.
Eleven OF these officials, including the
president and several councillors, were
lodged In jail on charges OF plotting treason.
Several secured their release under heavy
bonds, but others remain In prison.
General Smith found evidence that the re-
voting police were following the orders Of
the autonomous government, which designed
to use the 10 Sses under its control to over
power the Americans. The plot failed
through being started prematurely, but
Negros was In state OF uneasiness for
week Two companies OF the Twenty-slxth
Infantry were hurried from Ilolo to rein
force the garrison at Bacolod.
The officials arrested include some OF the
most prominent men in Negros. 1t Is be.
lieved that they will be expelled from the

The escort OF fifty men OF Company G,
Thirtieth Infantry, Lieutenant Ralston COM

lescents from the hospital. who were going
to reioin tho regiment. The insurg-
ents hid in the bushes along the road,
and opened fire upon the pack train from
three sides.
The Am, ricans, in addition to their casual
ties, were compelled to abandon the train,
which consisted OF twenty-five horses. The
latter, with their packs, all fell into the
hands OF the insurgents who pursued the
retreating escort for three miles along the
road, until the Americans were reinforced.

SUMMARlLY REMOVED.
hacrun Dismissed by the State Depart
mont-Has Kruger's Letters-Prompt
Action Taken.

dtctioh
Washington, Especial. THE State Depart
ment has removed Charles L. Macrum, re.
Gently Consul at Pretoria and who was pre-.
sumaDly to remain in the United States Con.
sular Service until he had made final re.
port and settled his accounts with the gov
ernment.
This surprising news was announced al
the State Department Monday. The point
was made by the department that Mr.. Ma.
crum's connection with the Consular Service
ceased when he was supplanted by young
Mr.. Hay. Tho State Department declares
that this Is usual.
1t Is not. consular officer who requests
to be removed from one post and whose
request is grati1ed, remains In the Consular
Service until he is formally dismissed, but
under the circumstances surrounding Mr..
Macrum's case Consul would ordinarily
have continued as member OF the consular
staff and received an appointment to some
other post.
The only explanation that can be offered
for the dismissal Of Mr.. Macrum is found ip
the fact that he is bearing serious propo.
sition from President Kruger, OF the South
African Republic, to this government, and In
the further fact that he is acting as mes.
senGrr OF President Kruger to the President
OF France. As recently as three weeks age
State Department officials were talking with
interest OF the final report on the South
African conditions that would be made by
Mr.. Mncrum on his return to this country,
and the presumption there was tn It he would
either return to Pretoria after making the
explanation expected OF him or be given
place elsewhere.
The summary disposition made OF Mr.
Mncrum Is concededy due to tho State De-
partment's desire to maintain friendly
demeanor toward Great Britain. The Brit
Ism authorities have succeeded In establish
ing censorship that is practically impervi-
Gus to all efforts to secure the transmission
OF either telegraphic or mall matter from
the South African republics. 1t Is under
stood here that President Kruger. unable to
communicate with the United States or the
rest OF the outside world, except through
the emI loyment OF secret couriers aud spies,
asked Mr.. Macrum to bring to the United
States the formal appeal OF the Dutch r.
public for mediation by this government.
