PEACE IN PHILIPPINES.
Early Capture or Surrender of NInlvnr
 Looked For.

Manila, Sept. 1-Everything points to the early capture or surrender of Miguel Malvar, the insurgent leader. When either event occurs everything will be favorable to an establishment of permanent peace.
 It is in the plans of the military au- thorities as a first step toward reducing the force to make two departments in- stead of four, which would result in considerable saving. The headquarters of one department would be Manila and the other Iloilo.
 Each day shows an increasing num- Der of surrenders and captures in all the disaffected districts. Later &C., counts of the recent engagement in Batangas province hetween Captain Harry c. Hale, with a detachment of the Twentieth infantry, and the insur- gent leader Gonzales shows that 1t was more important than 1t was first con- sidered. Many deserters and renegades were seen and heard giving commands in English. Colonel Cracas, two of fcers and fifty men were killed after an engagement lasting three hours.

FRINGE CHUN,S MISSION.
Kaiser Will Insist on Proper Apology for German Ministers Murder.

Berlin, Sept 1.--It is now very doubt full, according to a dispatch to the Lokal Anzeiger from Basel, Switzer- land, where Prince Chun will come to murder of Baron Von Ketteler. Mem bers of the expiatory mission say: Under present conditions we can nev- CT go to Berlin. We would rather die than accept them"
 It appears that they object particu- larly to Prince Chun's attendants pro-
 strating themselves before Emperor William inasmuch as this is a special
 honor reserved for the emperor of China and would involve a recognition of the Kaiser's equality.
 The following information is given regarding Prince Chuns speech to the Kaiser: Prince Chun intended to say,
 the Chinese government regrets that Baron Von Ketteler was killed" but the Berlin government dictated the fol- lowing form, "the Chinese government begs pardon for the murder of the Ger man minister, Baron Won Ketteler."
 The Chinese in Basel are trying to give the case international importance by empha sizing the fact that one of the dignitaries selected for prostration was made baronet by Queen Victorias while another has the cross of the Le- zion of Honor
 It is alleged that Emperor William is determined that the protocol shall be signed before he receives Prince Chun and that he will insist upon an apology for the murder of Baron Won Ketteler Beyond that, however, the ceremony of reception will be deprived of everything of humiliating charac- ter
