FIESTA WIS 4 HZDE
CELEBRATION IN HONOR OF AM
NEsTY WAS NOT APPRECIATED
BY ANYONE
ELABORATE PRECAUTIONS
Provost Guards Doubled, but No
Demonstration Was Attempted
Americans Lose Ten Men
While Scouting.

MANILA, July 29.-11:10 p. m.-(Edlted
: by the censor.)-The two days fiesta in
Manila, organized by Senior Palermo and
his political followers to commemorate
the amnesty, resulted in a fiasco. The
people were passive, unenthusiastic and
not even interested. Failing to perceive
any tangible, effective results of amnesty
they say they can see no reason for cele-
brating.
Judge Taft and his colleagues of the
commission felt constrained to decline to
attend the banquet, as they had been in
formed that the speeches would favor
independence under American protection,
and they could not passively lend their
acquiescence by being present
Senior Palermo, foreseeing the suspen-
sion of the banquet without the Ameri-
cans. frantically appealed to them to at
tend, promising that there should be no
speeches.
The provost precautions were extreme.
The guards were doubled both days and
the authorities forbade the display of
Filipino flags and of pictures of Presi-
dent Mckinley and Aguinaldo fratern-
ally framed.
The fiesta is generally considered to
have been premature and unfortunate.
During last weeks scouting ten Ameri-
cans were killed and fourteen wounded.
One hundred and eighty Filipinos were
killed and sixty taken prisoners. Forty
insurgent rifles were captured.

SAN FRANCISCO July pa fierce
dispute has broken out in Chinatown be-
tween Ho Vow, the Chinese consul gen
eral and Tongk Chong, editor of the Chi
nese World and Of the Oriental and Oc-
cidental Press, one of the leaders of the
reform association, which seeks to raise
an army and overthrow the empress dow
ager and restore the emperor, Kwang
Hsu. to the throne The editor devoted
three pages of his American paper yes
terday to scorching Of the consul gen
eral.
The consul general retaliates with the
explanation that the editor is the leader
of revolutionary party, which has 5000
members in Chinatown, all of whom he
has watched by spies and detectives Re-
ferrtng to charge of Chong that Ho
Vow had caused his (Chong's) relatives
in China to be imprisoned, Ho Vow said:
His relatives were cast into prison
apparently because they were in league
with him to overthrow the present dynas-
ty. We had documentary evidence
against them showing that they were in
a traitorous league. That any women
were imprisoned 1 do not believe.
"A few months ago young man nam
ed Homer Lee, a graduate of the Stan
ford university, started for China, pre-
sumably to lead the revolutionary party.
Documents were discovered to prove his
mission and to connect him with this re-
form association. On July II, the very
next steamer after the one that had car
ried this young American Homer Lee,
took Leong Kai Chew, who, with Kang
You Wei, is head of the revolution, away
from Honolulu on his way to China. The
plan Of Homer Lee and his Chinese
schemers was to raise an army of forty
thousand malcontents in the southern ter
ritory or ports Of the empire, and march
to Picking. 1t was not long ago that we
