OF the parade was the appearance OF
the Iowa veterans, thousands in num-
Der, and headed by band
from Cedar Falls. Speaker Hender-
son received an ovation from them.
He was recognized as the veterans
from the Hawkeye state reached the
stand and the band stopping in front
of his box, ceased their playing and
raised their voices in song: "From
Iowa." the chorus of which was
thundered out by 1000 or more veter-
ans.
Picturesque features were supplied
by the Louisiana veterans, who car
ried pieces of sugar cane, topped with
great punches of cotton; by the vet
Grams of North Dakota, carrying small
sheaves of the wheat of their prairies,
into which was stuck a small flag, and
by the South Dakota posts, each man
carrying an enormous ear of corn
mounted on a staff.
The evening was given up entirely
to affairs Of social character the
chief event being an informal recep-
ton to Commander-in-Chief Shaw, de-
partment commanders and distin-
guished guests at Memorial hall. 1t
was largely attended, thousands Of
old soldiers coming to greet the high
officials of their organization. In 20
different places in the down town dis
trict reunions of states were held.
This feature, the holding of reunions
by states, had never been attempted
before at the national encampment
and last night was the first trial of
the experiment. 1t proved a great
success. The ladies of the Woman's
Relief corps and the ladies of the G.
A. r. also held receptions during the
evening.
The annual business meeting of the
Grand Army of the Republic will be
held to-day in the Studebaker theater,
commencing at ten a. m. The meet
ing will be called to order by Com
mander-in-Chief Shaw. 1t is expected
by the majority of the delegates APP
pointed to attend the meeting that
the business of the organization will
be over by tonight and there will be
no need of the meeting being adj
journed until Thursday.
In the evening the principal event
will be the banquet of the Hamilton
club at the Auditorium hotel. 1t was
originally intended that President Nc
Kinley should be the guest of honor
at the banquet, but owing to his alb
sence Speaker David b. Henderson will
make an address. His speech and that
of Senator eastman X. Davis will be
the chief feature of the programme.
The Daughters of Veterans will hold
reception In the Masonic hail and
there will be, as on every evening since
the opening of the encampment, doz-
ems of campfres and reunions in vari.
Gus parts Of the city.
Sentiment in regard to the place for
holding the next annual encampment
has apparently crystallized in favor of
a far western city, with Denver in the
lead for the honor, so far as appear
ances go. Salt Lake also has many
friends and a lively contest is expect.
ed before the matter is finally settled.

A CAUSE FOR SPECULATION.

London Wondering if Mr.. Davis Has Not
Some Sort of Official Mission.
LONDON, Jan. 23.-The publication of
the fact that President Kruger is send
ing a private car to take Webster Davis
from Lourenzo Marques to Pretoria is
causing considerable speculation here as
to whether Mr.. Davis, Notwithstanding
the denial from Washington, has not
some sort Of official mission.
1t is thought rather singular that a
simple traveller, even though an official
at home, should receive so much atten
ton. The subject is attracting the Con.
tinental papers, who are inquiring
through their London representatives
whether the British government has in.
formation regarding the mission Of Mr..
Davis. They are loath to believe that
II OF President McKinley's assistant
secretaries would take a vacation in the
Iransvaal and be given a leave Of alb.
sence for several months without some
such purpose.
A recent dispatch from Washington
pointed out that Mr.. Davis had given I'M
his proposed visit to the Transvaal ow.
ing to the possibility that it might be
misinterpreted.

Officials Chosen Under American Rule al
the Head of the Movement.
MANILA, Jan. 23.-Mail advices from
Negros bring particulars of the uprising
last month in the southern part of the
island in which Lieutenant A. G. Led.
yard, Sixth infantry, was killed. In
stead of being an unimportant revolt Of
native police. as vas at first reported, it
appears to have been an attempt to over
throw American authority. The move
ment was started by the chief authori-
ties 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 plotting
treason. Several secured their release
under heavy bonds, but others remain
in prison.
General Smith found evidence that
the revolving police were following the
orders of the autonomous government
which designed to use the force under
its control to overthrow the Americans.
The plot failed through bein: started
p~rematurely, but Negroes was in a state
OF u~neasiness. Two companies of the
Twenty-sixth infantry were summoned
from Iloilo to reinforce the garrison at
Bacor. The authorities are irving the
accused officials of Negros. 1t is be-
heved they will be expelled from the
stands

erection.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Both the state
and the interior department authorize
the most sweeping denial Of the story
that Webster Davis, assistant secretary
of the interior, is clothed with any dip.
lomatic mission. 1t is declared that he
represents no department of the United
States government in his visit to South
Africa, but is there in a personal capac-
ity. Since his arrival at Cape Town,
where he went to visit his cousin. Con-
sui General Stowe, the state department
has been very much annoyed at the mis-
construction that has been placed upon
his visit. 1t was to prevent further mis-
understandings on that score that the de-
partment positively declined MI. Davis
application for leave Of absence for Mr..
Stowe, who wished to accompany Mr..
Davis to Pretoria. If Mr.. Davis visit
had not been purely personal, it is very
probable that he would have been also
enjoined from proceeding to Pretoria,
for it is anticipated that misrepresenta-
tons as to his purpose would be drawn.
1t is even now possible that he will re-
ceive a reminder from the interior de.
partment that his course is embarrass-
ing to the government. The state
department has sent no instructions to
MIR. Macrum respecting his attitude
towards the newspapers since his de.
parture from Pretoria for the United
States. In fact it is said that the de-
partment has no authority whatever
over Mr.. Macrum, who has passed out
OF the government service.
