MANILA. Jan. 2.-Advices from Ne
gros bring particulars of the uprising in
the southern part Of the island, in which
Lieut.. A. c. Ledyard, Sixth infantry,
was killed. Instead of being an unim-
portant revolt of native police, as was at
first reported, it appears to have been
an attempt to overthrow American au-
thority.
The movement was started by the chief
authorities of the autonomous govern
ment, the men who-were elected and in
augurated with SO much ceremony last
November. Eleven Of these officials, in
cluding the president and several coun-
cilors,l were lodged in Jail on charges of
plotting treason. Several secured their
releases under heavy bonds, but others
remain in prison.
Gen. Smith found evidence that the re-
voting police were following the orders
of the autonomous government, which
designed to use the force under it's con-
troll to overpower the Americans. The
plot failed through being started prema-
turely, but Negros was in state of un-

horses. The latter with their packs all
fell into the hands of the insurgents, who
pursued the retreating escort for three
miles along the road until the Americans

CASE OF ROBERTS.
1t VIII BE the Feature of the Week
In the House.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The feature
of the proceedings in the house this week
will be the consideration of the case of
Brigham II. Roberts, the Mormon repre-
sentative-elect from Utah. The case has
attracted intense interest all over the
country. Though both the majarity and
minority of the committee which investi-
gated the case agree that Mr.. Roberts
should not sit as q member of the house
on account of alleged polygameus prac-
tices there will be a royal struggle over
the question of procedure, upon which
the committee has split. The case will
be called up on Tuesday, and two, pos
sibly three, days will be devoted to 1t.
The majority of the committee hold that
Mr. Roberts should be excluded, while
the minority contend that he be seated
and then be expelled, basing their argu-
ment for this course upon the ground
that Mr.. Roberts possesses all the con-
stitutional qualifications for membership,
and that any attempt to exclude him upon
the theory that congress has the power to
add to those qualifications would estae-
Ifsh a dangerous precedent that might re-
turn to plague congress in the future.
Mr.. Littlefield, of Maine, and Mr.. De
Almond, Of Missouri, who presented
the minority report, will make strong
fight, and say they believe they can con-
vince a majority of the house that the
course they advocate is the only proper
one to pursue. The majority of the COM
nnittee, on the other hand, are confident
that they will be backed by majority
of the house. Should Roberts be seated
in accordance with the contention of the
minority, a resolution to expel him Will be
Immediately offered, and this, doubtless,
will carry by an almost unanimous vote,
although the majority in their report
have insisted that. once seated, member
cannot be expelled for acts committed
before he was member of the house

of Columbia matters. and Friday to

PRAISE FOR WHEELER.
Enthusiastic Words Written by a
Volunteer In the PhiIiDnines


!, MUNCIE, Ind, Jan. H-B F. Whaley,
a Hoosier volunteer, writes from Paniqui,
province of Tarlac, Luzon, Philippine
islands, making the following reference
to Gen. Joe Wheeler: How could a
single man in our ranks, be he veteran or
rocky, make ever a wry face at the
trials Of war when the inspiring sight Of
that venerable 'cottonheaded' Southern
war horse and hero of Ell Caney and San
Juan, Gen. Joseph Wheeler, Is at the
front Of our column, leading the way
through swamps, across rivers and into
dense jungles of this island, and now and
then dismounting from his horse and bid
ding some exhausted soldier to get into
the saddle while he, taking the gun Of
the private and singing it over his shoul-
der, marches along with US, chatting with
the men about him in a gleeful, familiar
way, causing them to forget every sensa-
ton of hunger and fatigue and to re-
member only they were the defenders of
the flag?
when we left Angeles, in October, Gen.
Wheeler gave imperative command that
no soldier should start upon this march
burdened with an ounce of unnecessary
baggage. Consequently we are at pres
ent the raggedest, dirtiest, nakedest and
the most dilapidated and weather beaten
set of lads upon which the sunshine and
rains of Luzon ever descended"

Powers Are InGuiring Into the Mis-

POWers Are inqu1r1nB into the MIS-
sion of Webster Davis.
LoURENzo MARQUES, JAN a.
Webster Davis, United States assistant
secretary of the interior, arrived here to-
day on his way to Pretoria, and called
upon the governor general Capt. Alvaro
Don Ferriera, who gave him most cour-
teous reception and requested MN to con-
yey- message of special friendship to
President Mckinley. The Transvaal rep
resentative has Informed Mr.. Davis that
President Krugers saloon carriage will
convey him to Pretoria.
LONDON, Jan. N.-The publication of
the fact that President Kruger is send
ing a private car to take Webs.er Davis
from Lourenzo Marques to Pretoria is
causing considerable speculation here as
to whether Mr.. Davis, notwithstanding
the denial from Washington, has not
some sort of official mission.
1t is thought rather singular that a
simple traveller, even though an official
at home, should receive so much atten-
tien. The subject is attracting the con-
tinental papers, who are 'nquiring
through the London representatives
whether the British government has in
formation regarding the mission of Mr..
Davis. They are 10th to believe that one
of President McKinleys assistant secre-
taries would take a vacation In the
Transvaal and be given leave Of absence
for several months without some such
purpose.
A recent dispatch from Washington
pointed out that Mr.. Davis had given up
his proposed visit to the Transvaal ow,
ing to the possibility that 1t might be
misinterpreted.
