MILES WOULD GO TO CHINA.


No Likelihood That the Request VIII lie
Granted by the War Department.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Sit was learned
today on excellent authority that
Lieut.. Gen Nelson A. Miles had re-
Gently applied for service IN China. His
application has not been granted, nor
is there any likelihood that it will be.
War department officials say that Gen.
Chatfee was sent to China to command
the American troops, and torelieve him
at this time would be a reflection upon
his conduct Of affairs. Friends of Gen.
Miles say, on the other hand, that Gen.
Miles, in addition to his experience and
ability has the rank to meet the COM
manding officers of other troops upon
the same footing. They even 60 so far
as to assert that Geu Miles reputation
would go far toward causing the COM
manders of other columns to defer to
his judgment, and the result would be
a more effective cooperation.
Gen. Miles declines to discuss the
attitude of the war department upon
his application, though he admitted
that he had indicated his willingness to
serve in the far East. He thinks the
situation in China is most serious and,
setting aside all questions Of his own
wishes, he is making every effort to
equip Gen. Chatfees command to stand
the rigors Of the climate and operate
effectively.

The cornerstone of the new Cham.
berlain- Hunt Academy, at Port Gibson,
was laid with imposing ceremonies at
high noon on the lst instant. The
event had been very generally adver-
tised, and an elaborate program pub
lished. Great crowds were expected,
and they were there from ViclIsburg,
Natchez, Fayette and all the railroad
towns in convenient reach, and from
the surrounding country, so far as bad
roads and continuous rains would per-
NIT. The procession was formed at
1880 am, the Masonic grand lodge,
the local and visiting lodges, being
escorted by the Volunteer Southrons
and the Utica Rifles, who had reached
Port Gibson that morning by dirt road.
The new site is about one mile west of
the town, and the procession covered
good portion of the distance.
The ceremonies of laying the stone
were led by Grand Master b. V.
White, Senior Grand Warden O. L.
Mckay, Grand Chaplain Rev John A,
b. Jones and full complement of act
ing grand officers. The music was fur
nished by a splendid band from Baton
Rouge and by select choir of ladies
and gentlemen. Past Grand Master
Frederick Speed delivered a most ap-
propriate extemporaneous address oc-
cupying not more than twenty minutes.
He was followed by Hon. j. r. Preston,
ex-superintendent of education, who
reviewed educational progress in most
interesting way. He grew eloquent in
discussing present conditions and pos
sibilities.
Letters were read from Mr. McComb
acknowledging the kind expressions Of
the public meeting thanking him for
his noble gift.
Nothing could be more beautiful
than the present site-about seventy.
five acres The building will be as
handsome and complete as money and
skill can make it.
Chamberlain-funt Academy is the
successor and inhertor of the assets of
old Oakland College, and is doing for
the new South the same good work
that Oakland did for the old.
After the exercises of laying the stone
the audience made generous contri-
button to the Natchez Protestant Or.
phan Asylum, and then the multitude
proceeded to the best dinner we have
ever seen prepared for such an occa-
sion.
Perhaps the oldest and most in.
terested visitor was the Rev. DR.. j. b.

INSURGENT ACTIVITY.
Many American Soldiers Killed DurinG
Past Three Weeks-Judge Taft's
Commission.


MANILA, Aug. 5.-On September lst
the commission headed by Judge Taft
will become the legislative body Of the
Philippines, with power to take and
appropriate insular moneys, to estab-
lish judicial and educational systems
and to make and pass all laws.
No money win be permitted to be
drawn from the insular funds except
by authority Of the committee. Judge
Taft and his colleagues will also exer-
else certain functions. For instance,
they will appoint judges, officials in
the educational department aud of
ficers of municipalities, which the COM
mission will establish pending cleo
tions.
Gen. Macarthur will be the executive
head to enforce the laws of the COM
mission, and he will conduct the gov
ernment in accordance with the same
until the commission recommends TO
President Mckinley the appointment
Of a civil governor.
There has been an increase of insur
gent activity during the last three
weeks especially in the way Of am
bushes and attacks upon small parties.
First Lieut.. Alstetter, of the engineer
corps, with an escort of fifteen men,
was taken in ambush in the province
Of Neuva Ecija, Luzon, by large force.
The Americans fought until their ann
munition was exhausted, and as they
were surrounded, there was nothing to
do but surrender One man was killed
and three we're wounded.
Gen. Lacuna, who was in command
of the insurgents, returned the wound
ed with letter promising to treat the
prisoners well. Lieut.. Bocton Hules-
burg was ambushed and killed near
Santa Cruz, province of La Guna.
Five men Of the Twenty-ffth infan-
try were captured in Neuva Eciia, but
Sergt Smith of the Twelfth infantry,
with seven men, trailed the captors and
killed seven.
Capt Lara of the Manila native police
was dangerously shot by an unknown
assailant yesterday, while on the street.
He had been effectively engaged in
enforcing regulations and had made
enemies among the Filipinos, some Of
whom have long threatened vengeance.
Lara had been generally accused Of
gross corruption in Office and specific
charges were made against him by
American officers.
At the suggestion of Archbishp Chap
pelle, Judge Taft has been examining
the heads of the religious orders, as
well as Mgr, Nozaledas and other
ecclesiasts, preparatory to the time
when it shall be necessary to take de-
finite action regarding the affairs of
the friars,
1t appears that the real estate hold
ings of the friars are smaller than had
been expected.

ULTIMATUM TALK.


Actlon-Last Word to Chinese.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Tbere ;s ~
unofficial rumor tonight that the United
states government has sent an ultima.
tum TO China. 1t is said that such
document has been transmitted 70 the
American consuls at Chefoo. Shanghai
and Tien Tsin with instructions fo,
them to deliver it to the Chinese gov.
ernment The note is reported to con.
taln renewed demand on the Chinese
government that immediate commnn;,
catlon be established with Minister
Conger and that the Peltin authorities
record from their attitude of shuttino
OH all communication with the foreion
ministers. This message, it is ex.
planned, was not written by Secretary
nay but was sent over by wire from
the president at Canton to the acting
secretary of State, Mr.. Adee. The note
relterates that unless correspondence
Is reopened with the ministers, it will
be regarded as an unfriendly act and
the government of China will be hello
responsible.
There is no absolute authority for the
statement that the ultimatum has beer
sent, but the story has gained con,
siderable currency. Acting Secretary
Adee told your correspondent this morn
ing that he had no official report of the
alleged edict of Sheng authorizing the
foreign ministers in Pekin to communi
cate without restriction with their gov
ernments and ordering their departure
for Tien Tsin under a strong escort. 1t
is still believed in official circles that
the efforts Of the imperial government
of China will be directed toward placing
the ministers safely inside the foreign
lines.

RED COAT WINS FIRST.
Canadian Yacht Outsalls the American
Entry, Minnesota.

MONTREAL, Aug. 6.-The Canadian
yacht Red Coat won from the American
Minnesota today in the international
series for the Seawanhanka cup. The
result of the race shows that before
the wind in light breeze the American
boat can develop superior qualities, as
in the second leg, ostensibly before the
wind, she made a gain on Red Coat OF
forty-two minutes, and again in the
same leg under similar circumstances
she reduced lead of five minutes fifty
five seconds to four minutes three sec
onds. But with the squall which de-
veloped under varying circumstances
during the last two legs, while the Min
nesotas work to reach was magnificent,
it was not so good in the gale, which
made the Canadian yacht the winner
Minnesota finished two minutes and
