Little sickness. In Our Philippine Troops

Washington, Aug. 9.--secretary
Root said yesterday that the latest
reports from Gen. Macarthur showed
that the sickness in the army in the
Philippines was eight per cent, which
was considered remarkably good
showing. Owing to the lack OF sur
geons, due to separating Of COM
mands, there were some small de-
tachments without a surgeon, but
this defect was being remedied with
all due diligence.

their delivery This assertion was
borne out last night when Secretary
Root said that there was no convinc-

Tho British Admiral to Take Prscaution'
for the Defense Of Shanghai = Two
United States GunbOats to Safe
guard American interests

London, Aug. 1.-THE Belgian for
eign Office has received the following
message, signed "De Cartier, first sec
rotary of the Belgian legation at Pc
kin:
shanghai, Aug. 1O.-An Imperial
decree names Ii Hung Chang as min
lister plenipotentiary to negotiate
peace"
The morning papers express salts
faction at the latest developments in
China. The average comment Is that
China is now genuinely suing for
peace through Ii Hung Chang. Dis
patches printed this morning give
further details of the taking of Yang
Tsun. According to the Daily Mails
correspondent the attack was led by
the Americans and British. The Chi
nese position consisted of seven lines
of entertainments. The enemy fell
back from one to another, until
driven from the last line they fell
toward Pekin completely demoralized.
The Chinese say they retreated be-
cause the British "poured poison
into their troops. This refers to the
lyddite shells, which tile Chinese then
experienced for the first time.
The correspondent adds that the
British casualties were 200 and the
American $50, but this latter estimate,
1t will be noticed, is four times great
or than that Of Gen. Chaffee's report.
A st. Petersburg special says the
Chinese minister there, Yang Yu, has
received a telegram announcing that
Ii Hung Chang is dangerously i'll and
confined to his bed and that he has
been granted a months leave.
Another st. Petersburg dispatch as
serts that the Russian general staff
have been notified that the Chinese,
10000 strong, are moving from HUI
Nan and HUI Pei toward Pekin and
Tien Tsn.
VIII Land Troops at Shanghai
Washington, Aug. 10.--The navy
department yesterday received a ca
blegram from Shanghai, which, it is
understood, gives notice of the inten-
tion of Admiral Seymour to land
troops there for the defense of the
city. The Shanghai newspapers, ac-
cording to the cable, while acquiescing
in the landing of British troops, de-
preclte the idea that England's ex-
ample should be followed by the pow
ers. The United States now has two
warships at Shanghai to safeguard
American interests in case Of trouble
there, the gunboats Castine and
Princeton. The latter arrived at
Shanghai yesterday,

news has been received by the foreign
office 1t has been kept secret, as the
usual news channels have not been
made acquainted with anything OF
the kind.
France Replies to China.
Paris, Aug. l3.-The tsung-li-yamen
forwarded through the Chinese min
lister in Paris, Yu Keng, a message to
the French government complaining
OF the "tardiness of the foreign min
listers in Pekin in replying to the Of
fer of the Chinese government to con-
duct them under escort" The mes
sage proceeded to say that the tsung.
li-yamen declined to be responsible
for any casualties which might follow
these delays and insisted that the Eu-
ropean governments order their rep
resentatives to leave Pekin.
To this communication, M. Del
casse, minister of foreign affairs, sent
the following reply: mo order TO
depart from Pekin will be given to
our minister so long as the route is
unsafe. II casualty occurs the re-

AN ENEMY'S ADVICE

A man of ordinary common sense
does not accept as his own the pan
OF campaign laid down for him by his
enemies. For four years past the
R publican press has kept on ad-
vising the Democrats to leave out the
Sixteen to One plank in the platform
The reasons ascribed for this method
OF framing was "in order to win, "
In other words, the Republicans
wanted the Democrats to leave out
the money plank in order that they
might beat the Republican nominee,
Mckinley.
The people who gave this advice
must have had a peculiar idea Of the
intellectual character Of the Demo
Gratis who desired the election Of
Bryan. Now that the plank is there
and there to stay, the Republic ar
press keeps up its transparent hypo
crisy by setting up doleful cry be.
cause the plank is there. OF course
they want TO MAKE the friends O.

aged and feeble woman out of $3.50.
He has been convicted by jury six
or seven times but each conviction
has been overruled by the Supreme
Court. One time he was sentenced
to four years in San Quentin. The
Supreme Court has always given the
accused the full advantage OF any

that in some way or another the

been fully considered.
In California the rights Of a de-
fepdant" are very numerous and one
Of his principal rights consists IN not

which will tend to create a prejudice
in the minds of the jury against his
innocence. The trials have taken up
SO much time that he is now plead
