advlCes from Negros bring particulars
Of the uprising last month in the SOUTH
ern part OF the island, in which Lieut..
A. c. Ledyard. sixth infantry, was
killed. Instead OF being an unimpor-
tant revolt OF native police, as was at
first reported, 1t appears to have been
an attempt to overthrow American au-
thorlty. The movement was started by
the chief officials of the autonomous
government. the men who were elected
and inaugurated with so much cere-
mony last November.
Eleven of these officials. including the
president and several councillors. were
lodged in jail on the charge Of plotting
treason, Several secured their release
under heavy bonds, but others remain
in prison.
Gen. Smith had evidence that the re-
voting police were following the orders
OF the autonomous government, which
designed to use the forces under its
control to overpower the Americans.
The pot failed through being started
prematurely, but Negros was in a state
Of uneasiness for week Two COM
panies Of the Twenty-sixth infantry
were hurried from Iloilo to reinforce the
garrison at Bacolor.
The officials arrested include some Of
the most prominent men in Negros, 1t
is believed that they will be expelled
from the island.

simple traveller. even though an Odieial

through the London representatives
whether the British government has
information with regard to the object

believe that one OF President AfcEin-

purpose.
A recent dispatch from Washington
pointed out that Mr.. Davis had given
up his proposed visit to the TransYaal,
owing to the possibility that It might
be misinterpreted.
