PARTICULARS OF THE RECENT up
RISING IN NEGROS.

Men Elected to Run the Autonomous Gov

casincss Prevails.
MANILA, Jan. 22.-Mail advices from
Negros brina particulars of the uprising
last month i'll the southern part of the
island i'll which Lieutenant A. G. 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 We're elected and inaugurated
with so much ceremony last November.
Eleven Of these officials, including the
president and several councillors, were
lodged in Jail Oh charge of plotting
treason. Several secured their release
under heavy bonds, but others remain
i'll prison.
General Smith found evidence that
the revolving police We're following the
orders Of the autonomous government
which designed to use the force under
its control to overthrow the Americans.
The plot failed through being started
prelnaturely, but Negros was in state
OF uneasiness. Two companies of the
Twenty-sixth infantry We're summoned
from Iloilo to reinforce the garrison at
Bacor. The authorities are trying the
accused officials Of Negros. 1t is be.

Assistant Secretary Davis Not in Africa on
. Diplomatic Mission.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Both the state
and the interior department authorize
the most sweeping denial Of the story
that Webster Davis, assistant secretary
of the interior, is clothed with any dip
lomatic mission. 1t is declared that he
represents no department of the United
States government III his visit to South
Africa, but is there in personal capac-
ity, Since his arrival at Cape Tow
where he went to visit his cousin, Con-
sui General Stowe, the state department.
has been ve1 much annoyed at the mis-
construction that has been placed upon
his visit. It was to prevent further mis-
UNDERESTIMATE gs OH that score that the de-
partment positively declined Mr.. Davis
application for leave of absence for Mr..
Stowe, who wished to accompany Mr..
Davis to Pretoria. If Mr.. Davis visit
had not been purely personal, it is very
probable that he would have been also
enjoined from proceeding to Pretoria,
for it is anticipated that misrepresenta-
tions as to his purpose would be drawn.
1t is even now possible that he will re-
ceive reminder from the interior de-
partment that his course is embarrass-
ing to the government. The state
department has sent no instructions to
Mr.. Macrum respecting his attitude
towards the newspapers since his de-
parture from Pretoria for the United
States. In fact it is said that tho de-
partment has no authority whatever
over Mr., Macrum, who has passed out
of the government service.

LONDON, Jan. 24.-The following dis
patch from General Butler, dated at
Spearmans Camp, Jan. %, has been
posted at the war office:
"Warren holds the position he gained
two days ago. In front of him, at about
1,24o yards, is the enemy's position,
west of Spions kop. 1t is on higher
ground than Warren's position, so it is
impossible to see into it properly.

placed on them. But we are

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The United
States supreme court has decided the
case Of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul Railway company versus the rail
road commissioners of the state of South
Dakota.
The case involved the state law pro-
viding a maximum rate for the rail

dismissed the bill, but the opinion re-
versed this Judgment and remanded the
case with instructions to the lower
court to investigate the earnings of the
road in the state so as to arrive at the
equities Of the case.
Justice Brewer delivered the opinion.
He referred to the perplexity of cases ill.,

READS LIKE AN APOLOGY.
British, Opinion of Buffers Carefully
Worded Message.

British Opinion of Buffers Carefully
Worded Message.
LONDON, Jan. 24.-General Buller's
great turning movement, Of which so
much had been expected, has come to a
standstill. His carefully worded mes
sage to the war Office telling this, after
silence Of two days, reads like an apol-
ogy and an explanation.
General Warren holds the ridges, but
the enemy's positions are higher. The
British infantry is separated by only
1,400 yards from the enemy, but an ap-
proach to tho steep slopes, across the
bare open, would expose the British to q
fatal rifle fire.
General Buffers plans have reached
their development. He declines to send
his infantry across this zone against
formidable positions by daylight and
discloses his purpose to assault the
Spion kop heights during the night.
This appears to be the key to the Boer
defenses. If he takes it and thus COM
mands the adjacent country all impor
tant and possibly decisive step will
have been accomplished.
Anticipating Worse News.
The Morning Post and The Standard
touch lightly upon the unpleasant fea-
lures Of the dispatch and take hope from
the projected night attack, but all
things considered the dispatch looks
like preparation for worse news.
Parliament will meet in seven days.
The cabinet has been hoping for one
rattling British success to cheer the
country and command general support
for fresh financial measures. One Of
these will probably be an increase in the
income tax to one shilling.
Political conditions, both civil and
military, press upon the military. au-
tho. les the necessity of accomplishing
something. 1t is said Lord Roberts has
II, hing whatever to do with General
Buller's operations. General Butler and

ceived before Lord Roberts reached
Cape Town and its execution was begun

BERLIN, Jan. pa dispatch received
here from Durham says the German
bark Marie, loaded with sulphur, which
was captured early in January by the
British cruiser Fearless and taken to
Port Elizabeth, has been Internationally
released.
The release of the Marie has made a
most excellent impression here and is
interpreted as due to the earnest desire
Of Great Britain to establish thoroughly
friendly relations with Germany. New
ertheless, there is the highest authority
for the statement that Germany has not
abandoned the idea of bringing about a
clearer definition of what constitutes
contraband and the rights Of neutrals on
the seas, either through an international
conference or direct diplomatic negotia-
tions between cabinets.
