THEY SLIP THROUGH THE NET.
Plan of Catching Filipinos Between
American Brigades Fooled.

Manila, Jan. 10.-10:50 p. m.-Repors
from the movements of the American
commanders south of Manila show that
General Bates and General Wheaton are
at Perez Das Marinas and General
Schwan at Slang, all awaiting the ar
rival of provision wagons. Reconnals-
Sances have shown that 1000 armed in
surgents have retired to the mountains
from the district between Indang and
Maig, and that others have retreated
along the coast from Noveleta toward
Ratan0aS.
Last might Nolan's squadron of the
Eleventh cavalry drove n body of insur-
gents from Maig. One American was
killed and two were wounded. Thirteen
dead F'ilipin0s were found.
The movement largely resembles Gen
eral Schwan's experiences in the same
country except that the towns are now
being garrisoned and that the insurgents
refuse to fight, retreating southward and
dividing into small bands with the APP
parent intention of reassembing later.
The plan of catching a large number be-
tween two bridges has failed. About a
hundred insurgents have been killed, but
comparatively few arms have been taken.
The regions is full of amigos, who doubt
less have been bearing arms which they
have hidden. The women and children
remain in their homes and the insurgents
as they fall back, release all prisoners
they have captured.

DESIGNS ON PERSIA
Russia Taking Advantage of Eng
lands Trouble in Transvaal

L ndon, Jan. 1l.-CThursday)- The
Calcutta correspondent of the Daily
Mail says:
Il have good reason to believe that the
Indian Government has received dis
queting information regarding Russian
movements in the direction of Persia.
Russia is taking advantage of the
Transvaal trouble to strengthen her
ornaments. and to push forward her
outpcsts along the Persian frontier, with
Il view of ultimate annexation, a design
in which Germany would probably ac-
quesce in consideration of receiving
railway concessions.
BOERS' EYES ON DURHAM.
London, Jan. n.-(Thursday)-The
Times in a special article dealing with
the Delagoa Bay question, expresses the
opinion that the endeayor of the Beers
to overrun Natal lends confirmation TO
the assertions made before the war by
prominent Beers. that they would seize
Durham as a port. The article proceeds
TO point out that by the through rate
system, specially favorable to Transvaal
shipments over the elagoa-Transvaal
railway, German ship owners have been
able to secure traffic with little risk of
examination at continental ports or at
Delagoa Bay.

LORD ROBERTS AT CAPE TOWN.
Contradictory Reports of Boer Losses
at Ladysmith.

London, Jan. 10.-9:00 p. m.--General
Lord Roberts, the new commander of the
British forces in South Africa, and his
chief of staff, General Lord Kitchener,
have arrived at Cape Town.
THE BOER LOSSES.
London, Jan. Thursday fol-
lowing dispatch, dated at F'rere Camp.
january 10th, noon, has been received
by the War Office from General Butler:
"A Transvaal telegram gives the enc
my's loss at Ladyslnith on Saturday as
four killed and fifteen wounded and this
after. as is admitted, they had endured
z whitening fire from six masked bat
teries and been defeated at all points.
Natives here assert that the Boer
loss in one commando alone was $50 kill
ed and wagon lead of wounded. The
heaviest loss is said to have been among
the Free Skaters who were forced by the
Transvaalers into the most dangerous
places"
This curious dispatch is all the War
Office has issued tonight. 1t makes not
the slightest mention of the position or
doings of the British forces. 1t may be
interpreted to mean that I4adysmith is
safe, but it is more likely intended to pre-
Dare the British public for a terrible list
of casualties.

AN INTERVIEW WITH BRYAN
The Kind of Expansion the Demo-
cratic Leader Believes In

Minneapolis, Jan. 10.-In an Interview
today William Jennings Bryan said
Il am firm believer in the nelarge-
ment and extension of the limits of the
republic. l don't mean by that the ex
tension by the addition of contiguous ter
ritory. NOR to limit myself to that.
Wherever there is a people intelligent
enough to form a part of this republic.
it is my belief that they should be taken
IN.
Wherever There is people who are
capable of having a voice and a repre-
sentatiom in this Government, there the
limits of the republic may be extended.
THE Filipinos are not such people. The
Democratic party has ever favored the
extension of the limits of this republic.
but it has never advocated the acquisi-
ton of subject territory, to be held under
colonial government"
Tonight Mr.. Bryan, Mayor Gray, COY
orncr Lind and others addressed large
crowd at the Exposition building.

Mr.. Gage gives a general review of his
policy as to National bank depositaries,
details the successful financing of our
Snanish war loan and says that with
The beginning of the present fiscal year
the Treasury was feeling the influence
of the revival of commerce. For the
six months. ending with December 31st,
1899, the excess of receipts over eXpendi-
lures aggregated sd ,026,0O0. This
absorption of money from an active use
into the Treasury, where it could serve
no present useful purpose caused great
public anxiety. The situation was in
tensified by the fact that the fall move
ment of currency to the interior, for the
movement of crops, operated to reduce
the cash reserves at all commercial CEN
ters. To avoid increasing deposits in
public depositaries the Secretary offered
to anticipate interest on the public debt,
and later offered to buy $50 100000 of
bonds, but the stringency had become
too great to be averted by such means.
The receipts of the Treasury for De
cember. it was perceived, would exceed
the expenditures by seven or eight mil
hons. Under these conditions n peculiar
responsibility was thrown upon the
Treasury. The statutes conferred au-
thority to place public money, except
customs, in designated depostaries and
gave power to relieve the situation with
out possible prejudice to the Treasury's $
need. 1t was, therefore, announced
December 18th. that the Secretary
would deposit internal revenue collec-
tions with depositary banks to the
amount of $30,000,000 or $40,000,000
should so much be applied for.

London, Jan. -(Thursday-4 a. m.)
During the interude Of apparent mill
tary inactivity and official secrecy Lord
Roberts and Lord Kitchener have arrived
ut the seat of war 1t is assumed here
that their clearer vision, supported by
$4,000 fresh men who are due to arrive
in South Africa. within thirty days, will
alter the situation and that the fourth
month of the campaign will witness the
beginning of victories for the British
arms Their presence will restore the
shaken confidence of the men at the
front in their generals.

Daily Mail has broken down." and the
field marshal may relieve him. Possibly
some others will be relieved of important
commands. There is certainly plenty OF
rank in evidence in South Africa. In ad
diti6n to the field marshal there are two
full generals, four lieutenant generals
and i or IA major generals.
There is an uneasy suspicion that when
the Ladysmith casualties are announced
they will be disheartening and will par
tall, destroy the patriotic glow pro
duecd BY General Whites victory"
The list Of victims of disease issued
by the War Office gives % deaths from
enteric fever and dysentery in Lady

that the heSieged are existing amid bad
sanitary conditions.

situation thus:
We'll, the campaign has lasted three
months. We have something like 120.-
900 troops i'll South Africa With this
huge army distributed over the country
we are still powcrless to relieve three

that this is evidence of a grave miscal-

NOT T0LORENZ0 MARQUES
THE FLOUR SEIZED OFF DELLA
GOA BAY RELEASED.
DECISION BEsET WITH DIFFICULTIES
That is in Execution, But ii is Believed Ex-
animation Will Generally Show Whether
Food is Meant for Lorenzo Marques
or the Transyaal.

London. Jan. 10.--The American -four
seized off Delagoa Bay has been re-
leased
United States Ambassador Choate had
an interview with the Marquis Of Sails
bury this afternoon and received a yer-
bal reply to the representations of the
Washington Government. The British
note on this subject was sent later to
the United States Embassy. The gist
Of it was cabed to Washington. IN brief,
food stuffs are not considered contra
lJand of war unless intended for the
enemy.
The Foreign Office only arrived at a
decision today and it was not until af-
ter Mr.. Choate's interview with the
Marquis Of Salisbury that note en-
bodying the provisions were drawn up.
Several of the Governments advisers
wanted to make a regulation regarding
canned goods, but this was decided to be
impracticable The decision to make
flour and grain in transit 10 the enemy
contraband is evidently hedged in by
many difficulties of execution, but the
Foreign Office believes that investigation
will generally determine whether the
grain is really meant for consumption
at Lorenzo Marques or in the Trans
vaal.
Mr.. Choate cabled Lord Salisbury's
note to the State Department at Wash
ington tonight, and Colonel Hay is ex-
pected to reply accepting the terms. The
latter stem WAS not taken by Mr.
Choate. as he had first to receive au-
thority from the State Department to
do so.
BRITISH REPLY NOT RECEIVED.
Washington, Jan. 10.-Up to the close
of office hours the answer of the British
Government TO Mr. Ch0ates representa-
tions as TO the seizure of American
flour and other goods had not been re-
ceived at the State Department, nor has
Mr. Cholte yet indicated when an an
swer may be expected, and the State
Department, basing its Judgment on the
fact that it is still Mt the Ambassadors
request collecting and transmitting to
him information relative to the char
acter of the goods needed for the full
presentation of the case, scarcely ex-
poets an immediate answer. 1t would,
of course be gratifed at an early re-
sponse. but the feeling is that anything
returned at this moment must be IL
partial answer or rather, a communI-
cation that is calculated to throw the
matter into the argumentative stage.

MIR. HALE'S RESOLUTION.
Impressive Tributes Paid to the Mem
ory of Mr.. Hobart.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Beautiful and
impressive tributes were paid by the
Senate today to the memory Of the late
Vice President Hobart Addresses Were
delivered by Senators Sewell and keanc,
of New Jersey; Daniel, of Virginia;
Depew, of New Jersey: Cockrell, of Mis-
souri; Cullom, of Illinois; Davis. of
Minnesota; Morgan, of Alabama: Chand-
ler of New Hampshire; Lodge. of Mas
sachuSetts: Caffery, of Louisiana, and
Allen. of Nebraska.
Early in the session Mr. Hale (Maine)
introduced a resolution of inquiry ad-
dressed to the Department. of State as
to the seizure of American flour by the
British authorities, which aroused more
than usual interest because of its atti-
tude toward Great Britain. To the
statement that the property was unjustly
detained, Mr.. Platt Conn took eXcep-
ton, believing it ought to be modified.
Mr.. Hale said the resolution presented
a matter of vital Importance and be-
lieyed Great Britain ought to be in
formed of the sentiment in this country.
On objection by Mr. Lodge the resolu-
ton went over.
Mr.. Hale's resolution follows:
United States. not contraband of war,
has been lately seized by the military
authorities of Great Britain and near
Delagoa Bay, South Africa, without good
reason for same and contrary to the ac-
cepted principles of international law;
and.
Whereas. said property is now un-
Justly detained by the military authori-
ties of Great Britain in disregard of the
rights of the owners of the same, there
fore. be it
Resolved. by the Senate of the United
States that the Secretary of State is
hereby requested to send to the Senate
all information in possession of the State
Department relating to said seizure and
detention; and, also to inform the Senate
what steps have been taken in request
ing the restoration of property taken and
detained as aforesaid, and whether or
not the department has informed the
proper British authorities that If SAID
detention is persisted in, such act will be
considered as without warrant and
offensive to the Government and people
of the United States"
The members of the Senate then de-
livcred eulQgies on the late Vice Presi-
dent, after which the Senate adjourned.
MIR. KITCHIN SPEAKS.
