Secretary of War, Washington.
Replying to despatch, Commission
reports: 1t has for two months and a
half made diligent inquiries into CON
ditions prevailing. Mass of people has
aptitude for education, but is ignorant,
superstitious and credulous in re-
markable degree. Hostility against
Americans was originally aroused by
absurd falsehoods of INSCRIPTIONS
leaders. Distribution of troops in 300
posts has by contact largely dispelled
hostility and steadily improved temper
OF people. This improvement, further
ed by abuses of insurgents affirms that
large number Of people long for peace,
and are willing to accept government
under United States. Insurgents not
surrendering after defeats have divid-
ed into small guerilla bands under gem
eral officers or become Ladrones
Nearly all prominent generals and pol
iticians of insurrection except Aguin-
aldo, have since been captured or have
surrendered and taken tho oath of al
legiance Policy of leniency culminat-
ing in amnesty had marked effect to
induce surrenders until defining of po-
litlcal issues in United States reported
here in full, gave hope to insurgent
officers still in arms, of change of poll

suit of election. Disturbances in parts
of islands kept up and avowed by in
| influence election, do not show un-
| friendly attitude of majority of people
of provinces where they occur, but on

mountain Businesses whence they issue
| for usually harmless night attacks, or
murderous ambush of small American
squads, or to collect contributions or
recruits from people terrorized by cut
ting out tongues, cutting off limbs,
burying alive, murder and plunder.
Difficulty of detention enables insur-
gents TO maintain surveillance over
people even in some garrisoned towns.
Uncertainty as to future policy of I'm
ited States and defencelessness of peo-
pie without arms largely prevent them
aiding Americans in suppressing out
RACES. Despite these difficulties, main
tenance of status quo makes for more
peaceable conditions. All northern

THa Indian trade that is coming

The Indian trade that IS coming
to Stafford from the reservation
will be worth thousands of dollqrs
to our business men during this
season, 1t is estimated that the
Indians will raise more than 10O,.

government pays them sl.25 per
sack, In speaking of the Indian
trade few days ago Capt.. Nichol.
son said the Indians like to come
TO Saffori to trade because prices
are reasonable, and that they will
continue to come here so long as
no liquor is sold to them, but he
declares that lfany liquor is sold to
them here that they shall not leave
the reservation again This trade
will become so valuable to The val.
ley that no one can afford to sell
liquor to them, besides the person
who sells or gives liquor to an
Indian stands good chance OF
serving long term in the pen.
An Indian will resort to almost
any dodge to procure whiskey
and there are white people WHIT
will buy it for them. Our saloon
men should be careful about sell

much of these stories is true and how
much invention perhaps never will be
known. In substance the accounts OF
what happened state that after June %
the besieged made fierce sorties and so
successfully as to compel the Chinese to
retreat from the immediate vicinity.
These reyerses had a disheartening effect
upon the Chinese, and there soon began
to be open signs of disaffection. followed
by desertions to Prince Chings army,
which was endeavoring to cooperate with
the besieged. Ultimately Prince Tuan
decided to make a night attack in three
powerful columns.
The correspondent continues:
"At o'clock in the evening Of July 6
fire was opened with artillery upon the
British Legation, where the foreigners
were concentrated. For two hours the
walls were battered with shot and shell,
and huge breaches were made in them.
Then general advance was ordered, and
the Chinese infantry, volleying const1nt-
~, moved toward the gaps. The tire of
the defenders, however, was so accurate
and steady that hordes of Chinese sol
diers and Boxers broke and fled in the
widest confusion, leaving large numbers
of dead and wounded around the legation.

SPECIAL SUMMER OFFER.

Readers of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
well know the merits of Waltham and Elgin
watches. They are known all over the earth,
and their fame is based on their wonderful
qualities as timekeepers. Every watch we
offer is guaranteed to keep good time. The
cases are of the very highest grade. We war
rant each watch to be the latest product of
the factory where it is made. Let it be
remembered that these prices are not per-
manent. They are likely to be advanced at
any time.
1t is not generally understood why the
class of watches which we offer below cannot
always be obtained. The reason is that the
companies make only small percentage OF
their output of these movements, and just as
soon as the Fall trade opens they are all
taken up by retail dealers who make larger
profit on them than in the full jeweled
grades, and they at once become scarce.

British Reverses.

There has been more or less severe
fighting of a desultory nature in South
Africa lately. the advantage being in IA
vor of the Beers, though not of lasting
value. On July II the Beers, having
failed in an attack on the British right
rear, made a determined onslaught on the
right flank and succeeded i'll taking Nj
trails Mex, garrisoned by squadron of
Scots Greys, two guns and five companies
of the Lincolnshire Regiment
Simultaneously, an attack was made on
the British outposts near Durdepoort,
north Of the town, in which the 7th Dra-
goons were engaged. The regiment was
handled with considerable skill by Lieut.
Col. Low, and kept the Beers in check
until they retired on their supports, and
would probably have suffered but slight
loss had not the British mistaken some
Beers in Khaki and helmets in the
bushes for their own men. The Dra-
goons passed them unsuspectingly, under
the impression that they were Hussars.
The mistake was not discovered until the
Beers opened a heavy fire when the
Dragons were within 400 yards.
Another case of the Beers wearing
khaki is reported to have happened at
Lindley, on June 20, when they surprised
a picket of % men of the Yorkshire

him, Mr.. Lincoln walked back and forth
in the hall. He suddenly turned to Gov.
