only a quiet amount of business doing
in the dry goods market to-day in any

tonight, clamoring for vengeance
against three negroes who criminally
assaulted Miss Grace avs Wednesday,

The mob has been Joined by large
number of men from the excursion

nothing yet but shout and threaten. PO-

The crime which incensed the citi

daring outrages ever perpetrated here.
Miss Davis and her escort, VERNE New

states that this Is only small portion
of the policy of cOncealment now being
carried on.
It processes to have abundant evil
dence that almost the whole theatre of
war is in a much worse condition than
the public is allowed to know. The
state of affairs in Cape Colony. in par
ticular. is said to be of a most serious
nature, due almost entirely to the be-
lief among the Dutch that the constant
efforts of the British to propitiate them
prove that they are tired of war.

saying in public that the war viii be

Amnesty Plan Rejected, as Was Also Request to
Promote Brave Officers.

New York, July IA special to the
Tribune from Washington says: The
unabridged report of General MacAT-
thur, covering his field operations be
fore he relieved General Otis as gov
ernOr general of the Philippines on May
5 last year, which has just been pub
lished in volume VI of Lieutenant Gen
eral Miles annual report, presents some
interesting Geographic correspondence.
The first of these messages is as fol-
lows:

General Schwan, Chief of Staff. Ma
Mia: The so-callSd Filipino republic Is
destroyed. The congress has dissolved.
The president of the sO-called republic
is a fugitive, as are all of his cabinet
officers. except one in our hands. The
executive department is. therefore, en-
tireiy broken up. The generals are
separated without any power of con-
ference or concentrated action. The
authority under which sn army was
kept in the field no longer exists. The
army itself, as an organization, has
disappeared.
AS a consequence of all these facts,
which are now of historical record, the
men who profess to lead small bodies
for the purpose Of guerrilla warfare
must act without even the shadow OF
authority from G, de Iacto government
will be tile result Of individual whims,
In other words. men who now try to
continue the strife by individual action
become simply leaders of banditti.
in this view, how would it do TO
issue a proclamation at an early date
offering complete amnesty to all who
surrender within a stated time, with
a payment of 80 pesos to every soldier
who gives UP a rifle and declaring with
emphasis that after the date fixed. the
killing of American soldiers will be re
garded as murder end that all persons
concerned therein would be regarded
as nurderers and treated accordingly?
such a proclamation would have the
effect of forcing the generals 10 con-
slider the expediency of continuing a
homeless struggle which would commit
them irrevocabiy to death or to lifelong
atriatiOn. and. 1 think. would have a
powerful influence at a time when II IS
