Manila, Oct. General Hughes,
from the island of Samar, reports the
arrival of Sergeant Markley and one
private at Tannan from the fight at
Balangiga, where over 40 men Of Com
pany G, Ninth infantry, were killed by
insurgents, who attacked the troops
while at breakfast Saturday last. The
men who have reached Tannan say
that the officers of the company, who
were at first reported to have escaped,
were killed with the majority OF the
company. The troops were attacked
while unprepared by 400 bolomen, OF
whom the Americans killed about 14O.
Many of the soldiers were killed in
their quarters before they had time to
grasp their rifles.
General Hughes is going to the
scene of the disaster and will person
ally command the troops.
A new branch of the Katipunan has
been discovered at Tarlac, capital of
the province of that name. The object
of the society is the slaughter of the
whites. Marceline Mariville, presi-
dent of Banoang, is the chief of the
new branch, which includes numbers
of the native constabulary who We're
recently armed. One policeman adj
mits that he was taxed dollar and
was ordered to make bolos. A reg
ular collection has been made by the
organization from the natives either
by persuasion or by threats and an
uprising had been planned for an early
date.
The conditions in Tayabas and Ba-
tangas are not reassuring. The
worst form of guerrilla warfare pre-
walls there. The insurgent forces are
distributed under cover, along every
road and TRAIL and wait for travellers
in ambush. The insurgent leader Ca
ballos (who formerly belonged to
General Cables command, but who
refused to surrender with Cailles) is
retreating to the mountains. The main
forces Of the insurgents are scattered
in bands over the province, where they
dig up rifles when there is an oppor-
tunity to use them.

SUCCESSOR TO
. LEO Thirteenth

ROME, July 25.-Although the Pope
is in excellent health, the feeling pre-
walls at the Vatican that a meeting of
the College Of Cardinals cannot be far
off and there Is no secret that the can
didates to the papacy are making elab-
crate preparations for this conclave.
One of the chief characteristics of the
next conclave. according 10 a high pre-
late, will be the large number Of candi-
dates for the chair of st. Peter. Where
as after the death of Plus TX. there
were only three candidates whose
chances for the Papacy were serious,
today half the sacred college aspires
to the chair and a first scrutiny is ex-
pected to show six or seven cardinals
who are favored for the pontificate.
Those who are well informed antici-
pate a deadlock, and the ultimate Sc
lection of an outsider who has not yet
tten mentioned.

of directors in which it is proposed
that the stockholders authorize the

ness. permanent Improvements, etc.
over $l5, 0O0, 600. The 100000 which
the proposed increase will bring to the

of the business consists in it's free
dom from mortgage debt and its en-
tire pecuniary independence. The en-
tire amount realized from the new
stock will come into the treasury of the
company and win be available for its
business uses.

played on the old instrument, and be-
sides these many other funerals Of
notable personages took place from the
old church while the old organ was
played. among them being that of
Minister James A. King.
Some five years ago the organ came
near being burned up. From some
unknown cause fire broke out inside the
instrument and the blaze was discover
ed just in time to prevent the destruc-
ton of the historic old curio. The rats,
also, during the past thirty-seven years,
have not neglected the instrument, anu
at times have threatened havoc inside
it, but such damage as was done by the
rodents has been remedied, and the
wonderful old organ is now in splendid
repair, Notwithstanding its hard SER
vice and its long and eventful career.
The congregation at the new Rice
Chapel are delighted with their beau
tiful white and gold organ, and in it's
new nome the old instrument will con-
tinue to peal forth its melodies, the
tones the fuller and richer for the
smaller size of the little church.
The dedication of it's successor takes
place tonight at Kawaiahao. 1t is
hardly probable that the service of the
new instrument will extend over a Pc
riod of such change and remarkable
| events locally as the old one, though
| it should last for hundred years.

dral. During the term of Mr. Atkinson
as Organist there We're many notable
concerts, in which Queen Liliuokalani,
Likelike and others of the royalty par
ticipated. A splendid choir was organ
lied. and the tones of the old organ
mingled with the subdued voices of the
singers at the funeral of King Lunalilo
and of the beautiful and beloved Queen
Kapiolani.
One of the most notable occasions for
which the organ played was the cele-
bration in 1870 of the semi-centennial
anniversary of the arrival of the
American Board of Missions in the Ha-
waiian Islands. a number of famous
representatives of the Board came out
from Boston, and there was a joyous
time for several days, elaborate must
cal programs being given at the church,
interspersed with special sermons and
lectures by the visiting and established
ministers, and succeeded by big luaus
in the grounds around the church.
Prof. Henry Berger followed Mr.. At
kinson as organist and kept the post
until a short time ago, being succeeded
by Miss Hattie Ayau, who was the last
organist on the old organ, and who
will be the first on the new.

now is the Superintendent of Public

on the Waikiki end of the building. one

Old Securities.

There will be no bonds of the Gov
eminent until there has been passed by
the Legislature an act specifically au-
thorizlng the issue. This was settled
by a letter which was received yester-
day from Secretary of the Interior
Hitchcock, addressed to the Governor,
in which the right to issue such secur-
tiles was denied. This means that the
$,99 600 bends under the old acts never
will be utilized.
The letter of the Secretary was writ

sent during the session of the Legisla-
ture. asking if the President would APP
prove an issue. The fact that the
bonds would be the remaining ones of
an old issue, the ends for which they
were authorized having been attained
by hse OF money out of the current re-
cefpts of the Government. were set
forth, and a request made for the
speedy determination of the question.
The decision of the Secretary makes II
impossible for the Territory to have the
use of the proceeds of the bonds. but at
the same time leaves undecided the
question which caused discussion when
, the proposal of the Government Wai
made.
In the letter of the Secretary, which
states that the matter has not been
submitted to the President, the only
question which Is discussed Is the meth
cd of the issue. The deeper one of the
capacity of the Territory to benefit by
an issue of securities which were au-
thorized during the days of the Repub-
lie, was left untouched. The letter
says the decision as to the issue is bas-
ed on the opinion that further legisla-
ton must be had before there could is
sue any bonds under the old act, which
is section . of chapter Il, Laws of 1896
of the Republic of Hawaii This sec
ton says, after authorizing the bonds,

Most of these bonds have been redeem
