MARCHED ACROSS MINDANAO,
CAPTAIN PERSHING FINDS THE MOROS
FRIENDLY-LADRoNE CRUELTY.

Manila, Nov. 30.-Captain Pershing, with
sixty men, has completed q march across the
island Of Mindanao. from Camp Wears to Yli-
gan This is possibly the first time that white
men have ever made the Journey Captain
Pershing visited the villages of Madaya and
Marahui. On his way TO Madaya he found the
Moros were surprised to learn that Americans
were not monsters ten feet tall with horns and
tails AT Marahui he addressed five hundred
Moros. telling them of the friendly purposes Of
the Americans. Representatives of the Nato
and Bocayutan tribes which are now at war
asked Captain Pershing to arbitrate the differ
ence between them. The captain agreed
visit them and give his arbitration on his
turn journey to Camp Wears. No hostility was
shown toward the column on the march.
The constabulary in the Zambales Province
reports a repulsive incident of cruelty perpe
trated by ladroues- Several columns of
stabulary had been chasing the ladrones with
the assistance Of friendly natives Five Of the
friendlies struggled from the column and
captured by ladrones. who arnputated the
and then sent him back to the constabulary.
The fate OF the other four is unknown.
The efforts TO restore agriculture in the Phil
lpplne Islands have been blocked by a dearth
of field animals. Ninety per cent of the cara
baos died in the original epidemic Of rtnderpest
and of the small number imported since many
have died. The government had planned
tenSive importation of these animals to meet
the crying need, and had arranged to have
them isnmunized., It forced TO abandon this
plan on account of the lack of money to meet
the purchases The general cultivation of the
plantations is impossible without them, and the
absence of any immediate prospect of getting
the field animals leaves the agricultural situa-
ton in a serious condition.

jected coast trip TO Vigan. Luzon. and proceed

AFTER TRANSVAAL GOLD.
GREAT BRITAIN TRYING TO LOCATE
TREASURE DESTINED FOR KRUE-
GER AND LEYDS.

Berlin, Nov. 30.-The British Government is
telegraphing to all the German ports making IN
quiries concerning a number Of Boer gold bars
worth S650,000 which it is supposed have been
brought TO this country from South Africa
within the last fortnight. The bars are destined
for ex-President KRUGER and Dr. Leyds, and, 1t
is presumed had been concealed in the Northern
TransvaaL Great Britain will endeavor legally
to attach the gold. if it be located. on the
ground that she is entitled to all the assets OF
the Transvaal because she has assumed re-
sponsibiIity for the debts of that country, in
Guiding the bonds issued prior to the war
General Bothas reply to Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain that the late Boer government had
no assets strictly true as far as he knew
but since receiving Mr.. Chamberla1ns. letter
General Botha learned. according to seemingly
trustworthy information here that MI kruger
and DR.. Leyds have in their possession SZ,oop'-
600 General Botha requested them to turn over
this gold for the benefit of the Boer people, but
Dr. Leyds refused averring that the money was
to be used in upholding the Boer nationality III
the future General Botha has given notice TO
DR. Leyds that unless the gold is given up lesal
proceedings will he brought against him.
