TO OVERTHROW OUR RULE.


FMANiLA, Jan. 22.-The escort Of 30
men of Company O. Thirteenth infantry,
Lieutenant Ralston commanding, which
was ambushed near LpA, consisted OF
90 convalescents from the hospital who
were going to rejoin the regiment. The
insurgents hid in the bushes along the
road and opened FIRE upon the pack train
from three sides.
The Americans, in addition to their
casualties, were compelled to abandon
the train which consisted Of 22 horses,
The latter, with their packs, all fell into
the hands OF the insurgents. who pur.
sued the retreating escort for three
miles along the road, until the Ameri.
cans were reinforced.
Mail advices from Negros brought
particulars of the uprising last month
III the southern part OF the island, in
which Lieutenant A. o. Ledyard, Sixth
infantry. was killed. Instead of being
an unimportant revolt OF native police,
as was at first reported, 1t appears to
have been an attempt to overthrow
American authority. The movement
was started by tho chief ofilcill0 OF the
autonomous government, the N sn 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 charges OF plotting trea.
son. Several secured their release under
heavy bonds, but Others remained In
prison.
General Smith had evidence that the
revolving police were following the or.
ders OF the autonomous government
which designed to use;the forces under
It's control to overpower the Americans.
The plot failed through being started
prematurely, but Ne@os was in a state
OF uneasiness for about week. Two
companies of tho Twenty sixth infun-
try were hurried from Iloilo to reinforce
the garrison at Ba,olod.
The officials arrested included some of
the most prominent men in Negros. It
was believed that they will be expelled
from the island.

MACRUMPEACE ENVOY.

IN A LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT.
Complete Independence and . seven-
Year Franchise-The East Liverpool
Man Left Rome for Paris-Opinion
Advanced by Paris Paper.

LONDON, Jan. pa special dispatch
from Naples said that Mr.. Macrum was
reported to be the bearer Of 0 letter to
President Mckinley from President
Kruger, III which the latter proposed
peace terms based upon the statue quo,
with complete independence and q
seven.year franchise.
ROME, Jan. 22.-Charles E. Macrum,
former United States consul at Pretoria,
left here for Paris.
Mr.. Easton. of the Washington Post,
who accompanied Mr.. Macrum, said, in
the course of an interview at Naples,
that the Beers know they must ulti.
mately be defeated, but are determined
to resist to the last. He praised the
Boer tactics and expressed admiration
for the bravery OF both armies. The
Afrikanders are regarded by Mr.. Easton
as "a permanent danger to tho Brit.
ish." He asserted that, prior to the
war, the Transvaal government inquired
what quantity Of cartridges was allowed
the German troops in the Franco Prus.
sian war. and then ordered double the
quantity.
PARIS, Jan. 22.-The Matin, referring
to the arrival of Mr.. Macrum in Europe,
said that the object of his mission is
mysterious. and asks II there be any
connection between his return and the
arrival Of Webster Davis at Lourenzo
Marques, from which point he is to be
taken to Pretoria in q special train sent
by President Kruger.
The Matin thinks it very probable
that President Kruger, having been cut
off from telegraphio communication
with Dr.. Leyds, is resortng to the good
offices Of the Americans in order to
communicate with the rest of the world,
and the paper concludes its observations
by saying:
1--WE shall soon know the meaning Of
these communications"

TO whether MIR. Davis, Notwithstanding
the denials from Washington. has not
some sort Of official mission.
II was thought rather singular that a
simple traveller, even though an official
at home, should receive so much atten.
ton. The subject attracted the cont.
mental papers, which were inquirinp
through the London representative
whether the British government had
information with regard to the object Of
Davis visit. They were reluctant to be-
heye that one OF President McKinley's
assistant secretaries would take vaca.
tion in the Transvaal and be given
leave of absence from his duties for
several months without some special
purpose.
A recent dispatch from Washington
pointed out that MIR. Davis had given
up his proposed visit to the Transvaal
owing to the possibility that it might
be misinterpreted.

ROBERTS WEEK OF PATE
His Case Comes Up in the House To.
ft morrow-sure Not to ;a
Serve.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.--The feature
OF the proceedings in the house this
week will be the consideration Of the
case Of Brigham H. Roberts. the Nor.
mon representative.elect from Utah.
The case has attracted intense inter.
est all over the country. Though both
the majority and minority of the com.
mittee which investigated the case
agree that Mr.. Roberts should not sit aa
q member Of the house on account Of
alleged polygamous practices, there will
be royal struggle over the question
OF procedure upon which the commit
tee has split.
The case will be called up tomorrow,
and two, possibly three, days will be
devoted to it. The majority Of the
COMMITTEES hold that Mr.. Roberts should
be excluded, while the minority con.
tend that he should be seated and then
expelled, basing their argument for this
course upon the ground that Mr.. Rob-
erts possessed all the constitutional
qualifications for membership and that
any attempt to exclude him, upon the
theory that congress has the power to
exclude him upon the theory that con-
gress has the power to add to those
qualifications. would establish canger.
ous precedent that might return to
plague congress in the future.
Mr.. Httlefleld, of Maine, and Mr.. Do
Almond, OF Missouri, who presented the
minority report, will make a strong
fight, and say they believe they can con-
vince majority Of the house that the
courGe they advocate is the only proper
one to pursue. The majority Of the
committee, on the other hand, are conf.
dent that they will be backed by ma.
jority OF the house. Mr.. Roberts is ex.
peoted to make plea in his own do.
tense.
Should he be seated in accordance
with the contention of the minority,
resolution to expel him will Immediately
be offered, and this doubtless will carry
by an almost unanimous vote. although
the majority. in their report, have in.
sisted that, once seated, member can-
not be expelled for acts committed be-
fore he was member of the house.
Today will be devoted to District OF
Columbia matters and Friday to eulo.
gies upon the life and public services of
the late Woe President Hobart.
