THE MOUNTED PATROL.
First Step on the Part Of China for the Pro.
lection Of Travellers.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The state
department has received, through
Mr.. Squieres, secretary of the legation
at Pekin, a note from Ii Hung Chang,
describing the regulations for the
control of the mounted patrol, which
it is proposed to establish along the
road between Ching Ting and Pao
Ting Flu.
Mr.. Squieres says this is the first
step on the part of the Chinese au-
thorities toward the protection of for
eigners travelling through the dis
turbed districts OF the provinces of
Shan ST and Chi Ii. The regulations
are quantity expressed, but in sub
stance they provide for the establish
ment OF military posts at nine sta
tions on the road, the commanders of
which are to furnish escorts for trav-
elers. The escort is to keep within
II feet of the traveller, whose pace
must set theirs. 1t is to disperse
people who gather about the traveller
and are boisterous, and its members
are not to accept any pay from trav-
eler under pain of dismissal. A post
will be forwarded every two days.

should it prove feasible,
The length of the proposed railroad
from Circle City to Behring sea will
10 about 1000 miles, and on the
coast of Siberia to Vladivostock is
1900 miles. If the concessions are

the protection afforded the property
OF the company is adequate the pri-
mary survey will commence shortly.
M. Barber, 1t is stated, is in the
United States for the purpose of OBJ
tanning information as to the prob
able attitude of the government to-

Six Philadelphia Buildings Wrecked by ExplO.
sion-Firs Added to the Horror.

Philadelphia, Aug. IA terrific
explosion in block of six buildings
on Locust street near Tenth wrecked
five of the structures and caused the
death of probably 20 or more persons.
Over two score of others were more or
less seriously injured. 1t is estimat-
ed that at least 35 persons were in the
five buildings when the explosion
occurred and the exact number of
dead will probably not be known for
"a hours.
The explosion occurred about $3.50
O'Clock. What exploded and how it
happened is not known, but it is be-
lieved to have been barrel of gaso-
line in one of the three grocery stores.
With the explosion the front walls
of the buildings were blown outward
into the street, while the floors and
the roofs were blown upward and fell
straight to the ground. Almost every
building in a radius of two blocks
about the scene of the explosion had
window panes shattered and was
otherwise damaged. Every building
on the opposite side of Locust street

TRAIN WAS HELD UP.
Five Masked Men Stopped Passenger Near
Chleaso-Failed to Find TreaSars.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-The Baltimore
& Ohio passenger train from the
East, which was due to arrive at the
Grand Central station, Chicago, at 8
o'clock last night, was held up by
five masked men at 8 o'clock last
night, between Edgemore and Grand
Calumet Heights, Ind, 81 miles out
Of Chicago. One of the mail cars,
which contained no money, was dy-
namited and wrecked. The attempt
at robbery was made after the two
mail cars had been detached from the
train and run a quarter of mile
ahead. The failure of the robbers
to make rich haul was due to the
fact that the express car which con-
tanned the trains treasure was in an
unusual place. After wrecking the
mail car and obtaining no booty the
men disappeared in the darkness
without attempting to rectify their
mistake. The only loot they carried
away with them as result Of their
adventure was the gold watch of the
engineer The train was the New
York and Washington vestibule linn
tied. Most of the trainmen we're shot
at and had narrow escapes from bull
let's. No person was injured, either
by firearms or dynamite.

FILIPINO PROCLAMATION.
Malvar Issues a Warning to Insurgents Who
Surrender.

Manila, Aug. 7.-Miguel Malvar,
who has been recognized as the sue
cessor of Aguinaldo by the Filipino
junta at Hong Kong, has issued a
proclamation dated July 16, copies
of which arrived this morning, Civ
ing assurances to the natives of the
continuation OF an active campaign
and expressing hope for its successful
issue. The proclamation, of which
$4,000 copies have been printed,
purports to emanate from Batangas.
1t is characteristic insurgent docu-
ment, charging the Americans with
all sorts of atrocities. 1t recounts
the losses of guns and ammunition
and the death of four distinguished
American officers July 10, all of
which, it says, the authorities con-
cealed. The proclamation threatens
General Cables with death for treach-
cry, and warns all Filipinos who sur
render that they will never be able to
live outside the American lines.
Malvar claims he has sufficient arms
and supplies to continue the fighting
indefinitely.
The American authorities believe
the proclamation was really written
by Agoncillo (the ex-representative of
Aguinaldo in Europe) at Hong Kong.

GENERAL WOOD ON CUBA.
He Says the Americans Can Settle Up and
Get Out Within Eight Months.

New York, Aug. 2.-General Leon
ard Wood, military governor of Cuba,
who is now on board the dispatch
boat Kenawha preparing for cruise
along the coast of New England, said
today, in discussing Cuban affairs:
Cuba is totally undeveloped
island, and has a great future before
it. Yellow fever, in another year,
will cease to be epidemic. We have
not had a single case of yellow fever
in Havana this summer, and none in
Eastern Cuba for two years past.
Cuba's resources require time for de-
veIopment. The last enormous sugar
crop was raised on 5 per cent of the
entire sugar producing lands Only
this small percentage is under culti-
vation.
1--WE have 81, 500, 900 in our reserve
fund, and can pay all our debts and
get out of Cuba within the next eight
months. We have established 5000
hourishing schools. Two years ago we
were obliged to provide about 100
orphan asylums to protect the desti-
tute children. Since then we have
abolished 60, and expect to be able to
close more before we retire from the
management of Cuban affairs. Our
health compares favorably with that
of the troops in this country, showing
that the island is healthy"

THIRD MAN NOT NAMED.
No News Given Out Regarding the Schley
Court Of Inquiry.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Acting Sec
retary Hackett had expected to be
able to announce the name of the
third member of the Schley court of
inquiry today, but could not do so up
to the time the department closed.
Nevertheless, it is surmised that he
has heard from at least one of the rear
admirals he has addressed on the sub
iect, and that he has communicated
the result to Secretary Long, and will
await his pleasure before making any
announcement. Secretary Long has
specially delegated the task of max
ing a selection to Acting Secretary
Hackett, but as a matter of courtesy,
it is probable that he will be made
acquainted with the choice before it
is made public.

REWARD FOR LORD ROBERTS.
English House Of Lords Votes Him a Snug
Fortune for Work in South Africa.

London, Aug. PIN the house of
commons today, proposing a resolu-
tion granting Field Marshal Lord
Roberts 100000 for his services in
South Africa, j. Balfour, the govern
ment leader, in the course OF his eu-
logy of the field marshal, said that
there was no doubt that but for Lord
Roberts daring and strategy, and the
rapidity with which his plans we're
carried out, Kimberly and Mafeking
would have fallen, Il,000 British
would have been starved into submits
sion at Ladysmith, and there would
have been a general rising of disloy-
alists in South Africa. The Liberal
leader, Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man, concurred in the motion.
John Dillon, Irish Nationalist,
strongly opposed the vote. He de-
clared Lord Roberts had shown the
greatest inhumanity in South Africa,
and SAID he had employed barbarous
methods and had proved himself a
dismal failure. Mr. Labouchere,
Radical, and Mr.. Hardy, Social
ist and Independent Labor, also
strongly opposed the measure. Swift
MacNeil, Irish Nationalist, said he
considered Lord Roberts operations
were conducted with maximum of
cruelty and a minimum of humanity,
and that his farewell speech at Cape
Town was horrible hypocrisy and
blasphemy. After further debate Mr..
Balfour moved the closure, which was
carried. The resolution was adopted
by a vote of 281 to 73.
