 New Light dh Situation
BLOODY BATTLE FOUGHT
German Troops Inflicted a Severe Loss on the Chinese Forces-Li Hung Chang Says kwang
 Ting DIso.eyed Orders

Pekin, April 2s.-The report of General fers from the other reports concerning the German French expedition previously received General Ketteler's report shows that the Chinese troops did not leave the province till they were forced to do so. The entire brigade commanded by Gen eral Ketteler met the enemy April g and inflicted immense loss upon them. The report does not give this loss The Ger mans had one officer and three soldiers killed and twenty-eight soldiers wound ed. The Chinese were forced to leave the province and were thoroughly demoral- ized. The French authorities stated that the Chinese had crossed the border of the province on April 19. in which case they must have subsequently, returned.
 u Hung Chang says it is impossible to believe that General Lui Kwang Ting would have so hagranty disobeyed his orders, and anxiety awaits the Chinese report of the encounter referred to by General Ketteler.
 u Hung Chang paid return calls to the different legations yesterday and congratulated Special Commissioner Rockhill on the stand taken by the Americans in the matter of indemnity It is not generally thought among the ministry of the powers that MT. Rock hills efforts In this direction will prove successful, though most of them admit that they must be guided in the matter by their instructions they receive from their home governments.
 Nine Chinamen will be executed tomor- row in the American district for highway robbery and violence The men in ques- ton were tried and sentenced according to Chinese law, but they are the first of such sentences to be approved by Gen eral Chaffee.
 General Gaselee, the British command CT, the officers of his staff and the entire British contingent gave a farewell en- tertainment to the American officers last night. All officers who were not actually on duty were present and the utmost en- thusiasm prevailed. Speeches were made by General Gaselee and General Chaffee only
 It is said at German headquarters that the brigade of General Ketteer is return ing to Pao Ting Flu.

THE HISTORY OF RUBBER.
lslee's Magazine

From Ainslee's Magazine.
 The world was long time learning the pses and value of rubber. For two cen turies after the Spaniards saw the gum n the hands of the natives of the new world 1t was little more than curiosity. Old Herrea, who went with Columbus on his second voyage, made a note of an elastic ball which was molded from the gum of tree. At their games the Haiti ans made it bound high in the air. The Aztecs were familiar with the gum and sailed 1t ule and from them the Span- ,ards learned to smear it on their coats 10 keep out the wet. They had crossed lhe seas for gold, and never dreamed of a time when the sticky milk the uncouth Indians drew from strange trees would be worth more than all the treasures of the hills.s
 Jose, King of Portugal, in 1855 comes down to us as the wearer of a pair of boots sent out to Para to be covered with a waterproof gum. Yet 300 years were 70 elapse before a Connecticut Yankee should make a pair of boots of rubber which would not decompo-s. Dr. Priestly, author ol work on Perspective" now forgotten, recorded that caout-chouc pronounced "kachook'') was useful in small cubes for rubbing out pencil marks hence the name rubber. The India linked with 1t refers to the savages who gathered it in the Amazon wilderness. Dr. Priestlys cubes were half an inch long and sold for three shillings, or 70 cents a piece. A stiff price for the finest rubber today is a dollar a pound It's price for ten years has ranged from 62 cents to $1.
 The conversion of the gum to useful purposes made but slow headway. The first waterproof cloth, in 1797, was the work of an Englishman. It was tenta- tive, and, of course, it would not stand heat. Tn 1882 Charles Macintosh of Glasgow discovered naphtha, and dis solving rubber in it, produced a varnish which, when spread on cloth, made it really impervious to water.

AMERICANS SWOOP DOWN ON REBELS
General CailIeS Surprised But

lNSORGENT MAJOR KILLED
caiIles Has Offered Reward of s1o,- 900 for Head of Captain Edward N. Jones of the Eighth h.
 fantry-cruel Leader.

Manila, April 2S.-Capt Wilson Chase. with a detachment of the Twenty fifth Infantry. on April 26 surprised the camp of the insurgent General Cailles at Du- got-Dugot, situated nine miles northeast of cavinti, in the province of Lagua
 Cailles was at his camp at the time of the American attack but managed to es- cape. Captain Chase's force captured his adjutant general, five other of his staff officers, fourteen men, twenty rifles. large amount of ammunition and stores and all the papers and personal effects of the Filipino general The insurgent Major Velo was killed during the en- gagement. as were Corporal McGill and Private Tipps. both belonging to Com pany of the Twenty-first Infantry.
 Several columns of the American troops continue vigorously to pursue General Cailles. General Cailles recently offered a reward of $1O,OOO for the head of Capt. Edward N Jones, Jr., of the lAiSbth 4Hud udnIIy. rOT HoTc tHdu d year past Cailles has commanded the insur- gent forces operating to the east of Bay Lake not far from Manila. He is said to be French half-caste. He has reputa- ton for vindictiveness and cruelty, and is one of the two or three Filipino leaders still in the field who have clearly ignored the observances of honorable warfare.
 The Society of Mando- Ducats, whose practice is to assassinate and bury alive those of their countrymen who accepted American sovereignty whenever the lat ter fall into their hands, operated with the cognizance, if not the support, of General Cailles. If Cailles were captured it is doubtful if he could claim immunity for past actions under the terms of the amnesty. In January of this year Cailles offered 8 reward of $10 apiece for the heads of all Americans brought to him.

BUYING OF U. s. STEEL

London, April 2S.-The Stock Exchange enjoyed a fair amount of dealing during the past week while it's tone has been decidedly cheerful as 1t is believed that business will soon become more active. Consols remained the weakest of the se- curities, having sold down to 935s, which is the lowest price since 1890 They finish ed, however. above the lowest quotation. It is expected that the next settlement will disclose considerable bear account.
 The event of the financial week has been the issue of new consols, the sub scriptions to which reached f200, 900, 900. During the week home rates improved all around. Metropolitans gaining seven and districts one and half on the pros- poets of benefits arising from the intro duction of electric traction Again there was much trading in American securities. After a general reaction in the early part of the week owing to bear selling a further advance began on active buying especially of Union Pacific and Balti- more and Ohio which advanced from four to eight points during the week.
 There has also been much buying of United States Steel. the common stock closing at fifty and the preferred at 9915. Saturdays close was well above parity. Wabash preferred advanced 3A and Wa bash debentures 2A; Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul advanced 8; Northern Pa cific, 2B; New York Central, l. and most of the other American securities from 4 to h. The mining market did not show any special feature. South Africans have evinced firm tendency, Debers improved 21e, Bands A, and most of the others showed improvements ranging from IS to %, and there were but few mining stocks fractionally lower.

GOVERNOR cANDLER TALKS.
Says Reports About His Recent State ments Are exaggerated.

Atlanta. Ga., April Ex-Governor Cand- Ter made a statement today to the Asso- ciated Press regarding his reported ut terances at Savannah on the negro aues- tion, which were sent to many Northern papers. The Governor says there are many congregations in the clippings from the papers which have reached him, but that his remarks as published first in the Savannah papers are substantially correct.
 However" said the Governor. the statement that I said ehat the people of the South did not need, did not want and would not have the assistance of the damned Yankees in this matter. as pub lished in some papers. is absolutely fales."

The Berlin Boerse.

Berlin, April 2S. = The money market now shows greater ease than for several years. The Reichsbank rate of discount Is the lowest that has been in force since June, 1890, and the private rate Is un- usually low
 Money for the monthly settlement is abundant.
 The tone of the Boerse throughout the week was rather firm but business was limited. The Frankfurter Zeitung's weekly report of the Berlin Boerse sayu:
 Operators are indisposed to make fur ther engagement in Americans and anx- iously avoid retaining their holdings be- cause they believe that the excessive boom will soon come to an end. Opera tors here sold majority of their holdings which America. bought without hesita- tion."
 Discussing the weeks movement and the part played by Wall street in it, the vossische zeitung says:
 United States are today setting the pace in business and financial affairs The magnet of the Berlin Boerse pointed this week to New York, but Berlin lacks con- fidence in the American boom and fears a crash at any moment. Hence there is great reserve here,'
 The decision of the coke syndicate to restrict the output to 20 per cent. thereby causing the coal syndicate greater diff fculty in disposing of its output, de- presses coal shares.
 The iron trade improvement continues moderately. Germany's pig iron produc- tionsfor March was 672.595 tons, as against 7O0,55O for March, 1900, and the increase for the month over February was 4s,- 900 tons. The North German Lloyd lines loan was heavily oversubscribed, and the books were closed almost immediately.

TRAFFIC OF THE SEINE.

From the Paris Messenger.
 Everyone knows that Paris is on the Seine, but very few people know, or per haps care to know, the amount of traffic along its waters. The traffic is much more than people imagine. The minister of public works has published some sta- tistics which show that during 1900 no less than 5O,O4S boats of various sizes were at work on the Seine. The boats carried 10000, 900 tons of merchandise. of which 64s,037 tons were used in Paris. But what of the little passenger steamers that are seen gliding from pier to pier? Well, they number 1S1 They can each carry from 225 to 400 passengers. and last year they conveyed more than H.ooo.ooc passengers.

Manchester Market.

Manchester. April Extending the ap- pearance of the cotton report of the American bureau, to be issued in May, the general opinion seems to be that the supply of good grade cotton will prove inadequate for the present seasons re- quirements and that this shortage will later develop a squeeze, assuming the prevalence of orderly business condi- tions. In the meantime, although con- siderable inquiry exists, the effective de- mand is insufficient to move the cloth production and spinners' margins are be- ing gradually reduced. There has been plenty of demand from India, most of which would have been placed had not certain makers held out for higher rates The crisis in Japan Is not encouragins to far eastern shippers. Some. China merchants have bought comparatively freely
 The demand for yarns was restricted and full rates were rarely obtained D
