THE CHINESE REBELLION.
Marshal Su's Entire Command Has Deserted
and Joined the Rebels.

Hong Kong, March 22.-Advices
from Canton say it is credibly reported
there that the viceroy has received tele-
grams from Lung Chin, on the AMMAN
border, alleging that the whole Of Mar
shal Su's troops have deserted and
joined the rebels. II this is true, say
the advices, it adds to the revolution.
lists 10000 foreign armed and drilled
troops, capable of defeating any force
the imperialists can raise.
The kilograms further say the country
is undoubtedly ripe for rebellion. Rob.
berries are of frequent occurrence, the
long-continued drouth prevents tn,
planting of spring rice, and this has leo
the farm laborers to become robbers.
Well informed persons consider &
rebellion similar to that of the Tai
Ping probable.

London, March PA dispatch to
the Times from Klerksdorp, Transvaal
Colony, says that the Beers in the
Western Transvaal are well supplied
with guns and ammunition, and have
unlimited support and large amount
of stock; that their numbers give them
confidence, while the blockhouse system
has not yet been extended enough tC
alarm them. What is possible has
been done, continues the correspondent
but, owing to the insufficiency oi
troops, the British columns have been
too small to cope adequately with the
Boer forces, which are all composed ol
fighting men, without any intention oi
surrendering.

REFoRMER5 BACK or 1T.
Revolution in Southern China Is Serious and
Spreading Rapidly.

Victoria, B. c., March 25.-Accord-
ing to the advices received by the two
Oriental liners which arrived here to-
day, the reformers are at the back OF
the big revolution in South China,
which is widespread and serious
movement. Coincidentally, reports
come from Kansu and Mongolia, in the
northwest, of outbreaks fomented by
Tung Flu Hsien, an ex-Boxer, aided by
Mongolian princes. The Nang corre-
spondent Of the Shanghai Mercury SAYS
that 10000 rebels have massed at that
city to move on Kwang 81 towns.
From Shanghai comes news OF excite
ment over the decision OF Germany to
maintain her garrison there, which
means that France, Britain and Japan
will also be obliged to have garrisons
tnere, and Shanghai will become an in
ternational garrison town.
The Shanghai Mercury says that be-
fore his death, Ii Hung Chang surren.
dered full privileges to Russia in Man
churia, and the negotiations now going
on are said to bo blind to hoodwink
rival powers. The Mercury says that
had Ii not died, his adhesion to Rus
sia's policy would have involved China
in war.

MISSOURI ICE GORGE.
River Below Is Almost Dry-Dynamits Being
Used to Break Up the Jam.

Chamberlain, s. D., March 24.-An
ice gorge which has been forming in
the Missouri river at this place for
some time has reached a point which
has caused the river to overflow the
lowlands for 40 miles up the river.
The ice is packed so tight that the bed
below the gorge for several miles is
almost dry. Dynamite is being used, !,
but without effect up to the present.
At II O'Clock tonight the water in
the Missouri river remains about the
same as early this morning, showing a
total of IL feet. A gorge has been
formed between Chamberlain and
American island, diverting the channel
to the west side of the island, where
the water and heavy run of the ice is
passing freely. This is very likely to
leave the channel permanently on the
west side of the island, as with an
open channel there, no pressure exists
to clear out the gorge on the east side.

STRICKEN FROM THE BILL.
House Committee Rejects Clause Prohibiting
Employment Of Chinese Sailors.

Employment Of Chinese Sailors.
Washington, March 25.-By an al
most unanimous vote the house COM
mittee on foreign affairs struck out of
the Mitchell-Kahn Chinese exclusion
bill the paragraph prohibiting ships
flying the American flag from employ
ing Chinese sailors, under $4,000 PEN
atty for each offense. This provision
has proved one OF the chief sources OF
controversy over the bill The senators
and representatives fiom the Pacific
coast states regard this provision as the
most important.
The main argument leading to- -strik-
ing out the provision was that the
American ships on the Pacific compete
with English and Japanese lines, and
that the latter ships would indirectly
receive a great advantage in continuing
the employment of Chinese at $3.50
per month, whereas the American
ships would have to pay about $50 per
month for white sailors.
Representative Kahn, Of California,
has talked with Speaker Henderson as
to the exclusion bill when it reaches
the house. and II is understood that
while Mr.. Kahn considers the sailors
clause most important, he will not in
sist upon it to the extent of ieopardiz-
ing the entire exclusion measure.

FAST DYING REVOLT.
Acting Governor Wright Says Nlnsty.five Per
Cent OF the Philippines arc PaeIlIed,


Washington, March 22. -- Judge
Wright, acting civil governor of the
Philippines, has written a personal let
ter to General Marcus j. Wright, OF
this city, which gives an interesting in
sight into the condition Of affairs in the
Philippines.
"We are so far removed from the
United States" says Governor Wright,
'that ! fear the people at home get
rather an inadequate idea of the situa-
tion here. The press reports Of the last
month or more, which have reached US
here, together with the comments
thereon, seem to indicate that the gem
eral opinion is that the whole islands
are either blazing with insurrection or
else that outbreaks are prevented only
by the use Of troops on an extensive
scale. This is wholly misleading. The
real truth is that in 95 per cent Of the
territory of the islands there is no in
surrection, and Americans go about
singly and unarmed, with about as
much safety as they would in large
majority OF the states at home. There
is fast-dying insurrection in two
provinces of the great island OF Luzon,
and in the remote southern island of
Samar. Here and there in more re-
mote sections there are instances of cat
tie stealing and occasionally murder or
robbery. We are dealing very energet-
ically with the lawless element, and
the people as rule are rebuilding their
houses where they have been destroyed.
"Of course, telegraphic dispatches
generally deal alone in something sem
sational. apprehend that if any one
of us were in a foreign country and re-
ceived only news of what was happen
ing in the United States in police cir
cles we would get about the same idea
of our own country as many of the peo-
pie seem to have of this. AS to the
progress we have made in the last year,
it is tremendous and to me very en-
couraging. While do not look for the
millennium either here or elsewhere
speedily, l see no reason to doubt that
American authority can now be main
tanned without more troops than indi-
Gated by Governor Taft. OF course,
we must utilize the native in policing
his own country, just as has been done
by England in all her colonies from the
beginning"

TO RAISE THE ISLANDER.
Contract Closed for Floating and Bringing to

Victoria, B. c., March 26.-~-Captain
J. G. Cox, British Columbia's agent
for Lloyd's, has closed contract with
surtees Hope, of Seattle, for the rails
ing of the steamer Islander and bring
ing her to Victoria or some other Cana
dian port. The Islander was lost in a
collision with an iceberg at the en-
trance of Lynn canal on the night OF
August 10 of last year. Treasure that
has been variously estimated at from
$3.50, 900 to 1915, 900 went down with
the steamer, and no attempt has been
made to recover any of it. Where the
steamer sank there is depth Of water
upward of 40 fathoms, but the exact
depth wherein she settled has never
been ascertained. Hope agrees to start
work within 60 days, and is to receive
75 per cent of the value of the hui
when raised, and will also have claims
for salvage and get the gold.

PHILIPPINE MINERAL LANDS
Senate Committee Agrees on Plan for Their
Disposal.

Senate Committee Agrees on Plan for Their
Disposal.
Washington, March 26.-The senate
committee on the Philippines today
accepted the report of the subcommit-
tee, consisting of Senator's McComas,
DIETRICH and Rawlins, appointed to pre-
pare plan for disposing of the mineral
lands in the Philippine islands, and
prescribing the conditions of mining in
those islands, and the plans suggested
will be adopted as substitute for the
portion OF Senator Lodges bill dealing
with this subject.
The substitute adopts the British
American system of not permitting the
locator of lode claim to go outside his
boundaries vertically extended. The
locator OF lode or vein is allowed to
enter tract of land 900 feet square,
and he is required plainly to mark his
claim with posts. Record of claims is
to be made with the secretary of the
province in which they may be located.
No one person is to be allowed to
make more than one location on the
same lode, and the surface land and the
timber are to be used only for the de-
velopment Of the lode. 1t is required
that not less than 500 worth of work
shall be done on claim each year.
To secure patent on claim $500
worth Of work must be done.
Placer claims are to be limited to 20
acres of land for individuals, and 100
acres for associations, and authority is
given to enter petroleum or building
stone land under this provision. En-.
tries of coal lands to the extent of l6C
acres are authorized.
