President and Councillors Are
Among Those Charged
With Treason.
STARTED 1T PREMATURELY
Plot Was a Failure but the
Island Is in a State Of
UneaSineSS.
Pack Train AmbuShed by Fill
pinos and Taken After a
Hard Fight.

MANILA, Jan. 22.-Mail advices from
Negros bring particulars of the uprising
last month in the southern part of the
island in which Lieutenant A. O. Led
yard, Sixth infantry, was killed. In
stead of being an unimportant revolt Of
native police, as was at first reported, it
appears to have been an attempt to over
throw American authority. The move
ment was started by the chief authori-
ties of the autonomous government, the
men who were elected and inaugurated
with SO much ceremony last November.
Eleven of these officials, including the
president and several councillors, were
lodged in Jail on charge of plotting
treason. Several secured their release
under heavy bonds, but others remain
in prison.
General Smith found evidence that
the revolving police were following the
orders of the autonomous government
which designed to use the force under
it's control to overthrow the Americans.
The plot failed through being started
prematurely, but Negros was in state
Of uneasiness. Two companies of the
Twenty sixth infantry were summoned
from noilo to reinforce the garrison at
Bacor. The authorities are trying the
accused officials Of Negros. 1t is be-
ieved they will be expelled from the
islands.

BIG PRO-BOER MEETING.

Many Members of Congress Attend q
Washington Demonstration.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The Grand
Opera House, the largest auditorium in
Washington, was packed to the doors
during the evening with an enthusiastic
audience which vigorously expressed its
sympathy with the Beers in their fight
with Great Britain. The demonstration
was planned as a means of evidencing
public sentiment and in numbers and
enthusiasm was fully up to expectations.
The speakers included members Of both
branches of congress, and on the stage
were other public men who came merely
10 add their moral support. The key
note of the speeches was that the Beers
were fighting for their independence as
our forefathers had done in 1776.
Among those who occupied seats on
the stage were Senators Mason of nh
nois, Allen of Nebraska and Tillman of
South Carolina; Representative Clark,
De Almond and Cochran of Missouri,
Bailey of Texas, Oarmack and Cox of
Tennessee, Rhea of Kentucky, Jones
and Lamb of Virginia, Shafroth of Colo
RADIO, Dovener of West Virginia, Meyer
Of Louisiana, Sulzer of New York and
Lentz of Ohio. Congressman Sulzer of
New York presided and speeches were
made by Senators, Mason and Allen and
Congressman Dentz, CLARK, DE Almond,
Cochran and Rhea.

CAUSE OF SPECULATlOiio

London Wondering If Mr.. Davis Ha, Got
Some Sort of Oficial Mission.
LONDON, Jan. 22.-The pubicatiEl OF
the fact that President Kruger is send.
ing private car to take Webster Davis
from Lourenzo Marques to Pretoria is
causing considerable speculation here as
to whether Mr.. Davis, notwithstanding
the denial from Washington, has not
some sort of official mission.
1t is thought rather singular that a
simple traveller, even though an official
at home, should receive 50 much atten-
ton. The subject is attracting the Con-
tinental papers, who are inquiring
through their London representatives
whether the British government has in
formation regarding the mission Of Mr..
Davis. They are loath to believe that
one Of President McKinley's assistant
secretaries would take vacation in the
Transvaal and be given leave of alb
sence for several months without some
such purpose.
A recent dispatch from Washington
pointed out that Mr.. Davis had given up
his proposed visit to the Transvaal ow-
ing to the possibility that it might be
misintarpreted.

A rumor that Ladysmith had been re-
lieved enlivened the British, who sent
up a ringing cheer and began an ad.
vance. The first kopje was carried
At the Point Of the Bayonet,
and the Beers retreated to the next
kopje which, like most others, was
strewn with immense boulders sur
mounted by mounds ON the summit.
The British advanced steadily and the
Beers relaxed slightly. The latter did
not show such tenacity as previously.
Their Nordenfeldts fired at long inter.
walls and their cannon fired but seldom.
Apparently the Beers were short of big
ammunition.
All day the roar Of musketry fire con-
tinued. The British took three Boer
positions on the mountain and found
shelter behind the boulders.

IN AWFUL CONDITION.

Major Runcie Investigates the women's
Prison at Havana.
HAVANA, Jan. 22.-Major Runcie, who
has been at work for some time investi-
eating the circumstances attending the
detention in prison Of persons charged
with various offences to many Of whom
no trial has been granted, is engaged in
preparing report of visit he recently
paid to the women's prison. This insti-
tuition he describes as "den Of filth and
iniquity." He did not find cot, a
blanket or a female attendant in the
prison where several hundred women
are confined. The sanitary conditions
are almost Undesirable. He says he
cannot understand how such a place
could have been tolerated in a so-called
civilized community. His examination
revealed state of affairs worse than
any yet written regarding Spanish mis-
management.

ONLY OUTPOST AFFAIRS.

Main Position of the Beers Not Yet At.
tackled.
LONDON, Jan. 22-The justifable Sc
verify Of the censorship at the present
moment prevents the special correspond
ents from giving additional information
to supplement General Buffers latest
dispatch. The success VI the movement
depends almost entirely upon how far
he proves able to outmaneuver the
Beers, whose available forces are doubt
less larger than his own. The chief diff
ficulty lies in the ability of the Beers to
transport men, stores and ammunition
quickly and to entrench new positions.
Secrecy regarding General Buffers
progress, therefore, is essential and the
public press is quite content to wait
patiently.
From the information which the GEN.
sor has allowed to pass it is as yet i'm
possible to form correct notion Of the
British tactics. One thing, however, is
quite clear. The British commanders
have profted by experience and are now
avoiding infantry charges, giving prefer
ence to the
More Judicious Use Of Artillery.
The general idea is that Sir Redvers
Butler, with some 5000 men and Is
field guns, is holding the northern bank
of the Tugela at Potgieters drift, while
Sir Charles Warren, with about $4,000
men, 80 guns and a large force Of cav
airy, is working around the right flank
of the Beers, or 10 miles away.
One account of Saturdays fighting
says that the British had few killed.
Little reliance can be placed upon these
reports, and although the main position
of the Beers had not yet been attacked
and nothing is known as to its strength,
Saturdays and Sundays fight, which
can hardly be described as more than
outpost affairs, evidently entailed serious
losses.
The Beers are following their old time
tactics, making show of resistance and
then reHeating in good order to pre-
pared positions, and as they are working
from the interior Of their lines they may
be able to bring strong forces to defend
the main position.
