Pese. Papers sent AEulnaIdO.

Senior Buencamino sent Thursday to Ag-
uinaldo by means of Aguinaldo's mother
the amnesty resolutions adopted by the
meeting of representative Filipinos at Ma
Mia on June 81 together with Gen. Mac
Arthur's answer to them and other docu-
ments bearing upon the restoration Of
peace 1t is understood that Aguinaldo
will summon his advisers, and that a reply
may be expected within month. Filipinos
in Manila will give a banquet next Satur-
day in celebration of President Mckinley S
order of amnesty.
1t is officially announced at Manila that
last week 200 insurgents were killed and
1870 surrendered or were captured. One
hundred rifles were taken. Twelve Amer
leans were killed and II wounded This
includes the casualties of Col. William +.
Birkhimer's engagement with a force of
the 2Sth volunteers, who attacked 200 in
surgent rihemen intrenched two miles east
of Taal killing 3s. Asdetachment of the
signal corps, while repairing wires, was
twice ambushed. Capt Charles d. Roberts,
of the 35th volunteer infantry, who was
captured by the Filipinos last May, has ar
rived at Manila on parole. He will not re-
turn to captivity.

down on them, and they had nothing to
drink but the salty marsh water. Mean
while the wounded came struggling and
crawling through the gate in the mud wall.
There was no order. They were sent any
where without men to carry the litters.
The doctors were hit by the sharpshooters
while trying to attend the wounded of the
Ninth. They could not attempt to carry
off the wounded from the bloody field.
Major Regain. Capt Bookmiller and Capt.
Noyes were each hit twice. Noyes, who
was adjutant, was hit in the arm before
going into the field, and then hit in the leg.
He crawled back through the ditch with
the water to his neck to report the situation
to Gen. Dorward.
Under cover of the darkness the men
of the Ninth crept back from their danger
Gus position bearing their wounded. The
casualties were 81 men and five officers
out of 1926. The marines lost 80, including
Capt Davis, who was shot through the
heart while talking to Col. Meade. 1t was
decided to withdraw, when news came
that the Chinese we're evacuating.
The Japanese losses were severe. The
Japanese were most gallant in the fight.
But for the Americans stopping the flank
fire the Japanese loss would have been
much heavier. The French, japanese,
American and British entered the city at
2 o'clock on the morning of July IA. Their
entry was unopposed. The American flag
at half mast was hoisted over the south
gate. The walls were strewn with the
corpses of Chinese soldiers killed by the
shell fire which caused their flight. None
apparently was hit by bullets, the damage
being done by lyddite shells There is a
terrible row over the burning of the town.
Several foreign officers are reported lost.
The tired soldiers remained on the walls
The natives went looting through the
Chinese town The bank and the arsenal
we're heavy sufferers.
The final reports gave the American
losses as Is killed, n wounded and two
missing in the Ninth infantry, and four
killed and 90 missing in the marines. Sew
eral Russians and Frenchmen were fight
| ing on the Chinese side. The Chinese kill
| ed their own women to prevent them from
falling into the hands of the enemy. Five
hundred French troops, who had been sta
toned to hold the important point of An
nam, bolted panic stricken on being charg
ed by the Chinese with bayonets. The Rus
SLAMS killed all the wounded Chinese in re-
venge for the Pekin massacre.
The native city of Tien-Tsin was looted
on the day following the capture. Millions
of taels' worth of property were taken.
The whole city was filed with an indis-
criminate mob of Chinese and soldiers of
all nationalites, who are breaking open
stores, smashing chests and safes, and
rushing hither and thither with their arms
filled with silks, furs, jewelry, silver bars
and money.
The American and Japanese troops were
the only ones who made any attempt to
restrain the civilian or soldier hooters. The
men of both these commands behaved well,
the conduct of the Japanese being especial
ly commendable under the circumstances.

NEWS IN BRIEF.
Denial from Admiral Dewey.

Says Letter from a Filipino General 70
Senator Pettigrew lie ga Tissue of
FalsehOOds."
The letter received by Senator Pettigrew
from one of Aguinaldo's generals, Alejan-
drino, containing an alleged account OF an
interview between himself and Admiral
Dewey on board the Olympia in the bay of
Hong Kong in April, 1898, in which it is
stated that Admiral Dewey promised indie
pendence to the Filipinos, was shown to
the Admiral at Washington Monday by an
Associated Press reporter. The Admiral
characterized it as "a tissue of falsehoods.
He declared it absurd on its face. 81 not
only had no power to promise Independence
to the Filipinos, " said he, "but the whole
tenor of the words put in my mouth stamps
them as false / am made to say things
which never thought of and which ! could
never have uttered You will notice that
am addressed in the alleged interview as
Admiral, when at that time | was com
modore." The Admiral said he had never
heard of Aleiandrino.
Several Filipinos, after much Emporium
ing, did come aboard the Olympia at Hong
Kong. They we're anxious to be taken to
Manila. 81 considered their representa-
tions of little Importance, said the Admi-
raj, land did not take them to Manila.
Later gave permission to Aguinaldo and
about dozen others to come to Manila.
All that they were anxious about at that
time was an end of the tyranny of Spain,
against which they had been fighting.
After the destruction of Montejo's feet the
city virtually surrendered, and l am salts
fed that if we had had 5000 troops there at
that time we could have gone ashore and
been received by the Filipnos as deliverers.
They had absolutely no thought then of in
dependence. That was an afterthought OF
their leaders during the interim between
the smashing of the Spanish fleet and the
arrival of the United States troops"

Pan. American ExposItlOn Emblem.

The official emblem of the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition, which was designed by
Raphael Beck, a Lockport artist, and was
accepted as the most artistic and suitable
of several hundred designs submitted, has
the especial merit of effectively symbolic
ing one of the chief purposes of the expo
sition, which is TO bring into closer social
and trade relationship the republics, states
and territories of North and South Amer
lea. The emblem shows a fair maiden
IMPLYING the North, extending a kindly
hand TO clasp that of her brunette sister OF
the South, thus forming bond of CONT
mental sisterhood and establishing a unity
Of sentiment and interests between the
countries Of the Western hemisphere.

distance of 300 feet, or three miles and
go feet, above the earth, which exceeds the
highest point ever reached in America by
a balloon used for scientific purposes. Pro

Andree's Balloon Reported Found
Again.

News has come to Winnipeg, Manitoba,
that Indians found on the east coast of
Hudson Bay a wrecked balloon, the bodies
of two men and one man badly injured ly-
ing beside the balloon. The Indians say
they killed the man, as he made signs to
end his life. Hudson Bay officials have
sent Indians back to the scene to get pa
pers or any other articles which may be
found. The story is not generally credit

two companions started from September
gen three years ago has been reported
found several times, in regions so widely
separated as Siberia and the Northwest
territory.

OSTEOPATHY.

Works directly upon ever organ of the
body or upon the nerves affecting every
organ.
There is no part Of the body and hardly
disease that is not affected by the treat
ment.
Chronic diseases Of nearly every de-
scription yield to it. The people are learn
ing to love and believe in it. College men
and those who stand highest in profess
sional life accept and endorse 1t. Pro-
gressive old school physicians, graduates
Of the leading medical colleges, take
course in and adopt 1t as their principal
and only manner of treatment. And last,
but not least, courts and legislatures rec
ognize and uphold it. Osteopathy has

The suburban citizen., 1900-07-07

Of the two countries join, and the
building Of the Trans-C Caspian and
Trans Siberian railroads have brought
the two nations into actual physical,
commercial and political contact 1t
is, moreover, q vital necessity for Rus
sia to guide China's national life so
that It will be least harmful to her po-
lltlcally and most helpful to her COM
mercially. From this state of affairs
/ deduce that when it comes to a show
down if China's existence is threat
ened Russia will call halt. She will
insist on the preservation Of the en-
pire, and will guarantee the protection
of foreign interests in China. If the
other nations refuse this, then war will
follow. In considering this situation
It seems to me that there are four car
dinal points to be remembered: First,
China has the internal ability to pre-
serve her national life; second, any at
tempt to partition China will probably
be Occidental, in which case any eX-
traneous combination of the nations in
interest will be on chronological lines;
third, politically the preservation of
China as a nation is n necessity to
Russia, and she will fight If necessary,
to preserve it; fourth, that naturally
Russia, England and China should be
friends and not enemies, and that an
alliance between these three powers
would put the Orient on a firm and
solid political foundation for centuries
to come. While war may take place
first, think in the end that there will
be an alliance between these three
powers. New York Tribune.

PoIIshing Rice.

Fashion demands that rice shall
have a bright lustre, and this is Sc
cured by rubbing off dull outer coat
ing Of the grain, which has been shown
to have a food value nearly twice as
great as the rice grain after polishing.
The polishing process, however, great
ly improves the appearance of the
grain, and it is now almost universally
practiced in cases where the rice is in
tended for Occidental markets. The
material secured off is preserved and
sold under the name of rice -four.
The polishing is effected by friction
against the rice of pieces Of moose hide
or sheepskin, tanned and worked to
wonderful degree of softness, loosely
tackled around a double revolving cy-
Under Of wood and wire gauze, From
the poishers the rice goes to the sep
arating screens, composed of different
sizes of gauze, where it is divided into
appropriate grades. The rice is then
packed in barrels or sacks and is ready
for the market.-The Grocer.

Among the twenty-five known great
ocean currents, or rivers Of the sea, it
appears that the swiftest in it's course

varying from four and a half to five
miles an hour, with its waters at a
mean temperature of 81 degrees Fair
After running 5000 miles towards the
north, as far as 40 degrees north lati-
