The First Political Parry Under Amer
lean Regime Being Formed.

Manila, Dec. 1S.--Adyces just re-
ceived from lloilo. island of Panay,
say that the insurgents Saturday
night burned Il large part of the vii
lage of Cabatuan. Assistant Surgeon
Frederick A. Washburn, Jr., of the
Twenty-sixth volunteer infantry, with
IS men, held the principal buildings.
A strong wind was blowing at tls
time. The Americans sustained no
casualties.
Later advices from Iloilo announce
that detachments of the Twenty-sixth
volunteer infantry yesterday morn
ing surprised the headquarters of
Quintin Salas, capturing considerable
quantities of stores and some vau-
able papers. Several natives were
killed and the Americans were still
in pursuit of the fleeing insurgents
when the dispatch left lloilo.
Thirty rebels were captured yester-
day morning in suburb of San Pedro
Macaiti, four miles from Manila, by
% men of the Twentieth United
States infantry and 20 members of
the native Manila police, all under
Capt. Gaines, assistant chief OF po-
lice. The force landed from small
boats and surrounded the suburb.
The first political party under the
American regime is in process Of
formation. Its principles have been
embodied in a platform which will
shortly be made public. 1t is under
stood that the declarations of the
platform give the fullest recognition
to American sovereignty and also ia
vor considerable degree of native
concerning internal and To-
cal affairs.

Washington, Dec. 1s.--The state de-
partment has rendered an opinion to
the effect that the United States gov
eminent cannot intervene in favor
of Porto Rico in the matter OF her
claim against Cuba for $2,5O0,OOO. The
Spanish government raised loan to
this amount from the Porto Ricans to
help prosecute military operations in
Cuba, basing the loan upon the rev.
enues of the latter island. In sub
stance the decision of the United
States government is to the effect
that, leaving aside the question of
equity in this case, to sanction the
collection of this claim against Cuba
now would be to open the door to
numberless other and larger claims,
which would exhaust the financial re-
sources of the island.

NOT THE MAN.
Suspect I'm the Cudahy Kidnap.
Ing Case Proves His In
nocence.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 24.-There was a
decisive development in the Cudahy kid
mapping case Sunday, although the dis
closure is negative in kind. 1t has been
learned that there were two bandits
mot three) implicated in the abdue-
ton. One Of the outlaws has been
eliminated. The dark-complexioned
man with the black mustache and
black hair tinged with gray, SO minute
ly described by Miss Maud Munshaw,
was in the Office Of Chief Donahue Sum
day afternoon, and was there con
fronted by Eddie Cudahy, his supposed
victim. His name is johnson. After
carefully scrutinizing him, the boy
said: That is not the man. He is
not tail enough by an inch and a hall
and he's not broad enough. He's too
small in every way"
There is still a dark-complexioned
man in the case, but he is larger than
johnson and younger. Otherwise he
is very much like johnson, having q
black mustache and dark hair, slight
ly mixed with gray. If the police have
any idea who this man is, they viii
not admit it. So far as they know, he
was seen by but one person, and that
is Eddie Cudahy himself. The other
bandit was the light-complexioned man
with the brown hair and long, light
mustache, slight of build, and whose
age is said to be somewhere between
30 and 35 years. This individual is de-
scribed by three persons besides the
kidnapped boy, namely: B. X, Nun.
