OTIS SAYS DOES NOT
 MEAN WIDESPREAD REVOLT.

Chicago, September 29.-General Otis, in command of the department of the lakes, said tonight that the slaughter of mem- bers of Company c of the Ninth Infantry in Samar did not mean that there is any thing like widespread revolt in that prov ince. Concerning the disaster General Otis said
 "Samar is in the department of Visaya, over which Brigadier- General Hughes has command. This department includes all the the central islands of the Philippine archipelago. During the last month our soldiers have been active in an attempt to subdue rebellion, which is confined to the boundaries of that island. The insur- gent leader Lukban heads the natives and his Tagaloa followers have been in- strumental in keeping alive the spirit of opposition to this governments authority there
 'The location of the ambuscade is in southern Samar where the inhabitants are ignorant and barbarous. Probably Lukban got a party of bolomen together and surprised the American soldiers while at breakfast. I think Lukban knows something about the attack, at any rate. There has been trouble Tn that section for two years, and the character of the country and the barbarity of the natives combine to make It's suppression diff flcult'

RESULT RESTS
 WITH BURGHERS
Lord Kitchener Writes Explana- ton of the Situation in
 South Africa.

Pretoria. September 29.-A pamphlet has been published here under Lord Kitche- ner's authority containing notices of the permanent banishment of several Boer leaders captured since September 15 and also a long letter from Lord Kitchener replying to a communication from Acting President Schalk- Burger, received Sep tember 5. Lord Kitchener promises to send the Schalk Burger letter to the im- perial government which. he says, re- ciprocates the Boer statesman's desire for peace.
 Lord Kitchener then proceeds to ex- plain that the responsibility for the war rests with the burghers whose invasion of unprotected British territory opened the saddest page in South African his tory" He quotes letter from a mem- Der of the Volksraad to a member of the Cape Colony Assembly declaring that the time is ripe to drive the English from South Africa
 In conclusion. Lord Kitchener declares that having annexed tne two republics to Great Britain he cannot break faith with the people who have shown loyalty to the new regime, and so far as clemency to Cape rebels Is concerned" this is the prerogative of the ruler which must be exercised with unfettered discretion.
 A proclamation has been issued pro- viding for the sale of properties of burgh- CTS still in the field in accordance with the terms of Lord Kitchener's previous proclamation

HOPES OF BRITISH
 HAVE BEEN RAISED.

London, September 3O.-Today's papers are unanimous in their praise or the splendid handling of the Columbia and Shamrock II Saturday in what all de- scribe as a magnificent race. The out come has greatly raised the hopes of British yachtsmen generally. The yachts are seen to be so evenly matched that the result cannot be predicted with any con fidence, but it is considered that the tri- angular course will prove more favorable for the challenger, and that therefore Sir Thomas Lipton still has a chance to lift the cup
 The Daily Graphic points to the sig nificant fact that at no period in the race was the challenger leading by the amount of her handicap, and 1t expresses the opinion that unless the Shamrock II shows a sudden improvement in speed or gets & large slice of luck she will hardly win the cup.
 This latter opinion is the least hopeful among those voiced by the morning press. The Standard which declines to attach importance to the talk of unsportsman- like conduct on the part of Captain Barr which, 1t suggests. could doubtless be traced to idle gossip. adds:
 We are quite sure the yachtsmen of New York would much rather lose than owe seeming victory to sharp prac- tices."
 'It would be thousand pities," the Daily Chronicle says, If the struggle should arouse any acrimonious disputes of this nature. If everything done by Captain Barr is in exact accordance with American rules, we presume these rules cannot be questioned; but we hope mo- body will deem 1t necessary to raise any question"
 The Times says 'The quality of the Shamrock II, or possibly even her slight superiority in windward work will not be a compensation for the Columbia's de- cided superiority in dead run before the wind in light airs Therefore, if the weather does not change, there is little likelihood that the challenger will win the cup apart from the fresh chance the triangular course will give her. The best hopes lie in a decided freshening of the breeze"

MASKED MAN ATTACKS ONE OF THE GUARDS AT THE

Soldier Drew His Gun But Weapon Was Thrust Upward and Dagger Driven Through Clothes of the Guard-Otfi-
 CerS Refuse to Discuss the Incident

officer of the day, was in front Of the vault and rushed to the top on hearing the shot, but the men made good their escape. All members of the company, on hearing the shot, hurried to the vault, and besides searching the cemetery the guard was increased.
 Deprend is a recruit enlisted in New York about four months ago. He Is said to be an excellent soldier and to have a fine record with his officers. He says the man who attacked him was masked but that the first one he saw was not masked
 Since the Incident stories have been told in camp of some incendiary conver- sations overheard in the crowds that have visited the cemetery, including one today alleging that some stranger said:
 Lots of people would like to see this whole thing blown up"
 There are seventy soldiers at the ceme- tery, twenty of whom are constantly on guard duty about the vault and camp
 The first man, the guard says, carried a small white package in his right hand and something that glistened like pol ished weapon in the other. The second man, the guard says, wore mask over his face Lieutenant Ashbridge was on duty less than one hundred feet away in front of the vault, and is said to have reached the top within five seconds after he heard the shot, but when he arrived the guard was at the foot of the slope in which the vault is built, where he rolled after the assault, and the supposed providers were making their escape with a good lead Others of the company were attracted by the report of the rifle. but reached the scene too late to be of any assistance except to participate in the pursuit and the search made of the ceme- tery and in increasing the guard for the night.
 Stories regarding the incident when they reached the city were connected with the jail delivery that occurred at about the same time
 While there seems to be no doubt that at least two providers attempted to reach the vault there is much difference of opinion as to the object of the intruders who evidently made good their escape, as the cemetery has been searched over in vain.

sWINDLER CAUGHT.
Juan Cardona Accused People of
 Crime to Extort Money.

Manila. September 29.-Juan Cardona. who until recently was presidente of Ge- roma. province of Tarlac, and who was appointed secretary of the Tarlac provin- cial government, has been arrested on a charge of accusing people of crimes for the purpose of extorting money from them. More than fifty persons assert that they have been robbed by him in this way, some declaring they have even surrendered title deeds to property.
 Cardona had been considered one of the most reliable natives holding pro-Ameri- can views. An examination of his record, however, shows that for several years he was bandit and that he served two terms of Imprisonment aggregating five years.
 The municipal authorities of Manila have passed an ordinance doubling the size of the gates of the walled city in their part of the Notifications. It is possi- ble that the military authorities will ob- ject.

 AND NOT SUICIDE
Man and Woman's Head Cut Open and Bullets Fired
 in the Wounds.

St. Louis, September 29.-A special to the Republic from Desoto Mo, says that Daniel and William R. Greenhill are un- der arrest on suspicion of having mur- dered Mrs. Wren, their sister, and John Meloy, a suitor for her hand. The two were killed last night at the home of Mrs. Wrens father, Robert Greenhill. It was at first thought Meloy had killed the woman and then shot himself. At the inquest today, however, 1t developed that the forehead of each had been cut with some sharp instrument and bullets fired into the wounds. A bloody axe was found in the bed of William Greenhill. and a blood-stained hatchet was discovered elsewhere in the house. These finds and their conflicting stories told by the broth- CTS caused their arrest.

Freshet In Georgia.

Savannah, Ga.. September g. = The freshet that came down the Savannah river Friday was one of the worst ever experienced by rice planters of this sec tion. The river rose foot or more higher than ever known and practically every rice plantation on the river is under wa ter. The water reached its greatest height Friday night. It not only over flowed the banks into the fields, but in number of places broke through the banks, making wide washes that can be repaired only with great deal of trouble and expense. The damage to the rice will not be known until the flood subsidies enough to allow repair of the banks and the drainage of the fields. The water Is receding tonight.

DISASTROUS NEWS CREATED
 SENSATION IN WASHINGTON.
all the rifles except twenty-six.

Washington, September 29.-News of the disastrous fight between troops of the Ninth Infantry and the insurgents in the Island of Samar yesterday was sent promptly by General Hughes. command ing in that island, to General Chaffee at Manila and by him transmitted to the War Department. It reached the depart ment during the early hours today and Adiutant General Corbin at once made it public, after sending copy to the White House. General Chaffee's dispatch agrees with the Associated Press dispatch.
 The news created sensation in official circles. It was the first severe reverse that has occurred for a long time Still. the officials were not unprepared for news of just this character from Samar, in which the revolution started by Agui- naldo continues. Samar is country about as large as the state of Ohio and the American forces of occupation num- Der between 2OOO and 250O men. These are
  island, large number being located at the more important centers. Spain never made any effort to occupy Samar. and 1t only has been for probably three months past that the United States has under taken that work. The latest report made bv General Hughes to the War Depart ment was that the number of insurgent rifles in the island aggregated 300. The Filipinos carry on a guerilla warefare and operations against them were diff cult. The disaster to Company of the Ninth Infantry occurred, it is believed while it was engaged in an expedition to clear the country of rowing bands of in- surgents. The fact that the Americans were attacked while at breakfast indi- cates the daring and pluck of the insur- gents.
 Immediately upon receipt of the dis patch, Adjutant- General Corbin cabled General Chaffee to send complete re- port of the fight and list of the casual ties.
 A well-known official of the govern ment, in speaking of this outbreak against the American forces in Samar. said he regarded it as a consequence of the assassination of President Mckinley In all probability the insurgents had re- ceived, he said. only meagre reports of the tragedy. and possibly believed the shooting to be the result of some popular outbreak against the President. The na- tives had seized the opportunity in the fickering hope of retrieving some of their lost ground.

the Island of Samar. It was just seven weeks ago tonight he remarked, when discussing the news of the disaster to Company c, that he was talking with General Hughes at Iloilo about the condi- tion of affairs in the islands.
 The point where Company was sur prised he said, was a considerable dis tance from General Hughes headquar- ters He was not surprised at the attack on the troops in Samar, as that was one of the islands considered particularly troublesome. The natives along the coast are friendly, but many of those in the interior are regarded as dangerous guer- illas s3
