TIE WAR Is OVER. =


Eleven Americans Killed and six
teen Wounded Last Week.
MANILA, July S-The past weeks
scouting in Luzon resulted in eleven
Americans being killed and sixteen
wounded. One hundred and sixty Fill
pinos were killed during the week and
eight Americans who had been prison
ers in the hands of the rebels were sur
rounded and hundred rifles were
turned over to the United States OIL
Gals.
The enemy ambushed wagon train
between Indang and Noic. The Third
Infantry lost nine men while on an
expedition to punish the Ladrones in
the delta of the Rio Grande.
In the Antigua province of Panay. a
running fight of three hours duration
resulted in the killing or wounding OF
seventy of the enemy. There were no
casualties among the Americans.
The insurgents are slowly accepting
the amnesty provisions. In some in
stances the Americans are suspending
operations in order to give the rebels
an opportunity to take advantage OF
the decree.

She Never Knew.

A Chinaman on Clark street car in
his national costume with flowing pig
tail caused some amusement the other
day in which he was unconsciously as
sisted by a pretty American girl who was
his vis-a-vis. The conductor was taking
up the fares and the young woman, who
was busy putting on her gloves, took a
dime from her mouth and handed it to
him without taking her attention from
her gloves. A the same moment the
Chinaman reached into his ear and alb
stracted a nickel from that repository
He gave the nickel to the girl in change
for her dime and she absently put it in
her mouth for safe keeping. The China
man saw the action and clutched the con-
ductor's sleeve.
Him swaller, he gasped, "maklee him
pocket"
The girl understood and disgorged the
coin, but she will not know where its
previous receptacle had been until she
reads this account of the episode.

ing holy war and calling upon all the
Buddhist world to unite against the
Protestant and Catholic Christians, and
promising the aid of heavenly armies.
This, If true, will probably tend to
spread the rising to the southern prov
inces, and thus the crisis will be vastly
more difficult to deal with.
The nations are still moving slowly
in the matter of assembling forces, with
the exception of Japan, which country
will shortly land 10000 additional men,
The government of the United States
is preparing force for Eastern SER
vice, numbering 11,000 men in the ag-
gregate, drawn from the States, Porto
Rico, Cuba and the Philippines, but
much time must elapse before they are
available. Japan is the main reliance
of the nations until the international
forces can be gathered from the four
corners of the earth.

THE ECLIPSE OE THE SMITHS

Those very good people, the Smiths,
are no longer at the head of the list in
point of numbers. Their reign has been
an extended one, but ct last they go
down before the advancing hosts of a
mighty rival clan. The Johnsons are
on top, and have apparently come to
stay. The just-completed Chicago CEN
sus gives the Smiths but 4,400 names,
while the Johnsons number $3.50. The
Millers have but 1850, and the Joneses.
Browns, Robinsons, Blacks, Whites,
Grays and Thompsons are simply not
in 1t. The Johnsons have won a clear
cut victory over mighty family, and
are entitled to all honor and consider
alton.

A SWIFT AvENGER.
German cruiser Kaiserin now at Taku
Chinese Pronunciation.

Boston Transcript
AN acknowledged authority on the pro-
nunciation of Chinese names as trans
liberated into English assures us that
there need be no serious difficulty in
sounding the many Chinese names now
appearing in the newspapers ii the
speaker will remember that the vowes
in these names are uniformly those of
the Italian or Continental alphabet,
namely: % a always about as a in far;
always approximately as in they or
then: very like in machine or pin: as
either the o of song or how; and u always
as the u of rule. % Also. it should be
remembered, every syllable has an indie
pendent value and should be given that
value in pronunciation. 80 AS for con-
sonants, they are pronounced exactly as
written. These three rules will secure
as correct pronunciation of Chinese
names as can be secured without oral
instruction.
For example, under the first rule one
would say tah-koo for Taku, not take
you as one may frequently hear the word
pronounced: lee-hoong -chahng for Ii
Hung Chang. not lierhung chang: peh-
king for Pekin. not peek-in; shahng-
hah-ee for Shanghai. not shanghigh;
tsoong-lee-yahmsn Tor }rsung Il Yamen.

Let Us Have the Facts.

Baltimore Sun.
According to current report, Secretary
Root is evolving a plan for another and
more radical" reorganization of the
army, whereby the standing land forces
of the United States will number cat
least" $1,000 men. In other words, the
four years of President McKinley's in
cumbency shall have witnessed the
growth of the regular army from scant
$4,000 men to an imposing force, some
1900 stronger than the present army in
the Philippines, which is half volunteer
In advocating this increase the secretary
appears to have been a trifle incautious.
for he is reported to have said that this
reorganiZed force will be fully occupied
in the Philippines. The administration s
version of affairs in those far-ofe islands
is that the instruction is ended. and
were it not for guerilla warfare peace
would reign supreme. There IS some
thing radically inconsistent in those two

The door of a big safe in the Ken
lucky State Treasurer's Office refused
to open the other day, and experts
were summoned. They put in hard
days work and still the safe was shut
Then gentleman with ideas sent over
to the penitentiary and asked for the
loan of another gentleman who has
something of a record for opening safes.
The gentleman, attired in a striped I'M
form, came over, looked at the safe,
and in two minutes the door was open.
Then he smiled at the experts and re-
turned to his cell.

not tsung lie yaymen, and SO on. Tn
der the second rule Tientsin is pro-
nounced teeyen tsinn, accenting the yen
syllable, not teen tsin. Gen. Niehs name
is Neeyeh The Chinese coin tael is not
tale, but tah-ale pronounced quickly.
Yun-nan fu is yoon-nahn-foo, not
yunan-fyu. In like manner all words are
pronounced with syllable distinctness and
with uniform vowel sound. Under the
third rule the province name Szechuan is
sounded, not zekuan, but nearly as zeh-
chooahn, touching the choo very lightly;
Nganhwei as inggahnghoowayee drop
ping the initial sound, and the German
possession Kiau Chau is Keeahoo Chahoo.
However, without multiplying examples,
the reader of news from the much
troubled far East will find his way
through the many difficult names he is
to meet in his reading in the near future,
with sufficient safety if he will but OBJ
serve the three simple rules here given
for their correct pronunciation.

THE IMPENDING BATTLE.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
Doctrinal quiddities apart-and we take
leave to doubt their efficacy as party
weapons and their virtue as political pre-
scriptions-the actual line of battle pre-
sents the same array of forces, which
from the days of Jefferson to this good
hour, has divided the country. on one
side are the unorganized masses of the
people seeking the greatest good to the
greatest number On the other side are
the regular troops of the governing
classes, admirably organized and thor
oughly equipped The leaders of the peo-
oughly equipped. The leaders of the peo-
the battle assume a terrible response
bility. Upon their wisdom, or folly, their
success, or failure, hang the hopes and
fears of millions of noble men and wo-
men, who invest their all upon the haz-
ard of the die; simple, faithful, toiling
men and women; who earn their bread by
the sweat of their brow and ask only of
government an equal chance in the cruel
strife of life and labor. There in front
of them stand the armored DICTIONARIES
Of prerogative and power; stall-fed oxen
of the steel-clad Trusts; sleek race-horses
out of the Augean stables of political
corruption, each mounted by trained
jockey fresh from the school of Plat and
Quay and Hanna; an ominium gatherum
of gamblers with limitless treasury of
Doodle to draw upon; and, waving over
all, the milk-white flag with which the
pirate has time out of mind lured the
lambs of commerce. Mr.. Bryan, and the
leaders behind him, can afford to make
n n fob
they are lost, and yet, worst of all, with
them will go down the cause of that
equal and exact justice of all, exclusive
privileges to none, on which the eyes of
the people, the hopes of good government,
are fixed as upon the day-star of political
regeneration; and, set now. it may be
many year before that star shall rise
again.
So, clear the way for action. We shall
regard all that obstructs it as rubbish
What we think, and why we think it, we
have fully and clearly explained. From
now on to the end let the word be for
ward, and be he an enemy and not
friend who would limit, or hinder, the
freedom of anyone who, whatever his
individual preferences, would in good
faith support the ticket What it will
need on the day of election will be votes.

Democrat who gets it most of these

is A HOLY WAR PROCLAIMEDs

The Register yesterday morning ex-
news forwarded from China by Consul
Goodnow, and reiterated the belief that
the worst has happened at Pekin. The
latest kilograms available tend to con-
firm this view. Sir Robert Hart has
telegraphed the governor of Hong
Kong that the British legation building
at Pekin, where the remaining foreign
ers are understood to have taken ref
uge, was in flames, and that there is
every probability that the last rem
nant of the European colony has been
massacred. This is entitled to cred
ence, because it is in line with all prev
ious news for weeks past. 1t is well
enough to hope to the best, but it is
also well to anticipate the worst and
prepare for it. Direct news is, unfor-
tunately, not available, but scores of
kilograms, from widely separated
points and covering a considerable
period of time, all tend in the same
direction. Mr.. Goodnows telegram
was probably based upon information
and belief, but his data must have
come from Chinese sources, and they
are VIGOROUSLY unreliable. The alleged
news came to him July Sd, week ago,
lacking one day. And it will be noticed
that on July Sd the English Acting
Consul General Warren forwarded a
telegram from Shanghai saying that
then but two legation buildings were
still standing. What has happened in
the intervening six days no man outside
Of Pekin knows. There is a ray OF
hope; that is all.
A new element of danger has been
added to the situation, and it is a seri-
GUS one. The American consul at Chez
Foo has copy Of proclamation
\posted IN and about that city, proclaim

THE ANTICS OF TEDDY.

If one may judge by preliminary in
dications Vice Presidential Candidate
Teddy Roosevelt is going to be the
champion political yawper and long
distance railroad traveller in American
political history. He has travelled
about 2, 400 miles in advance of any Of
fetal or formal notification of his nom
ination, has made something like sew
enty-five addresses, winding up at Can
ton out of breath for a conference with
Hanna's protege, Mckinley. Presum-
ably, as soon as he RECEIVERS his wind,
he will again mount prancing and
gaily cOmparisoned Pullman car and
go tearing across the country in some
new direction, distributing Republican
fallacies, khaki uniforms and eye
glasses over the landscape, while
sweltering under the ample brim of a
cream colored sombrero Teddy's per-
Torrance isn't impressive. There's too
much of the Buffalo Bill and Texas
Jack and Grizzly Pete about it to COM
mend it to ordinary sensible American
citizens. As spectacular display for a
second class circus Teddy in his khaki
uniform and SLOUGH hat and eye
glawses might attract the languid at
tention of pleasure seeking pedestrians
on warm day, but as a candidate for
the second office within the gift of the
people he isn't imposing. The more
the people see of Teddy and his make
up the fewer votes he'll receive.

of those burned, is tonight in a very
critical condition, suffering internal in

chances of recovery very slight. The
other injured men are getting along
nicely. All of the wounded men unite
in saying that their rescue was little
short of miraculous. None expected
to taken out alive. The story of their
experience while lying under the ruins
of the broken floor is thrilling in the
extreme.
