ing an unimportant revolt OF native

pears to have been an attempt to over
throw American authority. The move
ment was started by the officials 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 charges of plot

lease under heavy bonds. but others re-
main in prison.

leans. The plot failed through being
started prematurely, but Negros was
In state of uneasiness for week.
