Admiral Remey Reports Chat
fees Arrival at a Point
Nearer Pekin.
Opposition Is Slight but Many
Men Are Frustrated by the
Intense Heat.
Expected That by This Time For
eign Troops Are Close to
the Capital.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The navy
department. has made public q dis
patch from Admiral Remey, announc-
ing the arrival of General Chaffee at
Matow, the next town of Importance
after Ho ST WI, which the Americans
occupied with slight opposition on the
9th inst The text of the dispatch is as
follows:
'"Taku, Aug. 12.-Just received an
undated dispatch from Chaffee at Ma
tow; opposition of no consequence; heat
terrible; many men prostrate. Please
inform secretary Of war;
1t will be seen from this message that
the date Of General Chaffee's arrival at
Matow is uncertain. 1t is taken at the
navy department to mean that Matow
was occupied on the 18th, and that the
opposition was slight both on the road
and in taking the town. Matow is
about 10 miles by rail from Ho ST WI,
and the road, as indicated on the war
department map, is Of the worst possi-
BILE character. Matow is not walled
city and
No Serious Opposition Was Expected
there 1t is about l2 miles by road to
Ching CHA Wan, which is really
suburb of the walled city Of Tung
Chow, and the key to the gates of Pc
kin. If General Chaffee was at Matow
Aug. II it is quite possible that by now
he is either in possession Of Tung Chow
or engaged with the retreating Chinese
army that it was thought might make
stand behind its walls. The war de-
partment is highly gratifed at the re.
port of General Chaffee's steady ad-
vance, which for week past has been
secuted as foolhardy piece of adven-
ture by some Of the European war Of
ticials.
Of quite as much interest as the rec
ord of the army's advance is the specu-
lation now current about the state de-
partment as to the status Of diplomatic
negotiations. The state department
has thrown around these proceedings a
sudden and unaccustomed veil of Sc
crecy that is taken to presage important
developments. One thing is we'll nigh
certain, namely, that the Conger mes
sage Of Tuesday, which was not made
public, is one Of a series Of identical
notes addressed by the beleaguered
ministers to their governments.

grounds being evao ouated? If the nego-
tiations prevent the march of the allied
troops, which is our only salvation, we
risk falling into Chinese hands. The

tion is occupied by imperial troops, who
have not entirely ceased to fire. We
are reduced to siege rations. We have

down to the conviction that Dewey
is in the field not because any ele-
ment, republican or democrat,
wants him, but because his wife
forced him. Mrs. Dewey is very
ambitious lady, and having made
up her mind to become mistress of
the White House, she has urged
her spouse to the point of seeking
to become it's master. AS the Ad-
miral has no organization of his
own, and none of the established
political organizations will nomi-
nate him, his candidacy is comical
in the extreme. Conjugal love is
sometimes the author of curious
capers. In the instance of Admir-
al Dewey it has taken the laurel
wreath from the brow of a hero
and substituted the cap and bells.
Marriage has had an extraordinary
effect upon Dewey. 1t may have
increased his happiness, but it has
diminished his wisdom.
On the 25th of August last Pres
ident Mckinley told the Metho-
dists at Ocean Grove, N. J., that
"our flag does not mean one thing
here and another thing in Cuba or
Puerto Rico" 1t will mean some
thing very different when the
Puerto Rican tariff bill, which the
president favors, becomes law.

FIVE THOUSAND
INSURGENTS
SCATTERED
Mostly viscayans Impressed Into
Service by the TagalOg
FORTY BRASS CANNON TAKEN.
Many Of the Insurgents Fought With
Bows and Arrows and
Wooden Swords.

MANILA. Feb. s, 1855 p. m.-Briga-
dler General Kobbe's expedition in the
islands Of Lhzon, Leyte and samar has
occupied permanently and garrlsoned
nine towns with the Forty-third and
Forty-seventh regiments. This has
placed ON the market 10000 bales Of
hemp.
A thousand insurgents armed with
rifles, and over four thousand armed
with wooden swords, bows and arrows,
were encountered during the entire
trip. The troops killed seventy-hVe ma
tlves, Of whom eleven had rifles The
others we're villagers. armed with wood
en- swords.
The American loss was one man Kill
ed and nine wounded. The Americans
captured $1,000 in gold, the enemy's
money, and forty muzzle loading brass
cannon. At calbagog and samaF the
enemy evacuated the towns, the Amer
leans chasing, fighting and scattering
them to the mountains.
Insurgents Fired the Town.
At catbaiogan, Lukban the Tagalog.
General Lukban fired the place with
Kerosene Just before the Americans
landed and then fought with cannon
and rifles from the hills encirclInE the
town for two hours. When the Fllipi-
nos were driven out the Americans did
t,,o,r hoe, IN save the town, lighting the
are for several hours. Thirty stone
and sixty other houses, half the bust
ness portion of the place. were consum-
ed. The soldiers prevented the fire
from spreading. The next day Major
Allen, with three companies Of the
Forty-thlrd regiment, pursued Lukban
to the mountain businesses and thence
tn The coast, town where Lukban was
! heading, In hopes OF escaping. LuSban
by taxing the natives, has accumulated
$780, 900 in gold His capture Is probable.
AT Takloban, island of Leyte' the
enemy evacuated the town and the
Americans pursued them to the hills.
Several fleeing non-combatants were
killed, including three women.
At Palo, seven miles distant the
enemy was found entrenched and re-
sisted. Lieut.. Johnston and twelve
scouts Of the Forty-third regiment
drove out a hundred and fifty of the
enemy and captured the town.
The insurgents in these towns We're
mostly vIscayuns who had been i'm
pressed into the service of the TagalOg
leaders from Luzon. The Viscayans
appear Indifferent or sullenly antago-
nlstlc to the American occupation. The
Tagalog chiefs Influenced them against
the United States. but when they per-
celye we are much mQre powerful than
the Tagalogs and intend to maintain
garrIsons In order to open the islands to
commerce, 1t is believed the rebel
party will lose Its popularity. The
Americans are gladly accepted by the
inhabitants who are daily returning to
the towns. There Is a rush Of COM
mercIaI vessels from Manila to these
new ports.
