More Enlplnos Surrender.

Manila, Jan. 15.-The full surrender
Of the forces of Colonel Marisigan,
who, with Major Cabrera and a rem
egade priest named Castillo, gave
themselves up Internationally January
10th, to General Bell, conducting the
campaign against the insurgents In Ba-
tangas province, occurred yesterday at
Taal. The insurgents created a sur
prise by bringing in sixty more rifles
than the authorities thought Marisigan
could command In the district Of Toael,
which he controlled.
The FilipinOs who surrendered in
cluded three colonies, one major, five
captains and twelve lieutenants. They
gave up 219 rifles and n cannon. All
the insurgents who surrendered did so
Internationally. General Bell ordered
the men released.
Marisigan says he can prevail on
many more men to surrender during
the next few days, and also obtain pos
session of additional rifles.
General Bell says the surrender pac-
flies, for the time being, all the eastern
part Of Batangas.

Boulder, Colo, Ian. 15.-The oil sit

as yesterday, except that an addition
al number Of people have become in
terested in oil projects. One lumber
firm yesterday, got an order for twelve
additional derricks TO be gotten ready
as soon as possible.
NJ. A. Hunter, until to-day deputy
county clerk, win begin boring on his
place on the edge of town in a few
weeks. Another derrick will be raised
and boring begun on the land north
OF the "Acropolis," just west of the
Tyler ranch.
1t is believed that oil will be pumped
at the Arnold well in a few days. The
gas jet keeps steadily burning at that
wen and is to be utilized under the
boiler instead of coal.
A company has been formed to drill
a well near Loveland.

Nebraska Treasurer viii Disgorse.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 15.-It was an
nounced tonight that former State
Treasurer Joseph BARLEY, who was re-
Gently given an unconditional pardon
after serving four and a half years for
a defalcation aggregatiDg nearly $780,
600, would pay back all or nearly all
of his shortage. The reason he gives
is that he wishes to prove to the people
that he is not a thief.
BARLEY holds a large number Of
notes, executed in the stress times pre-
vious to 1896 by prominent politicians
and business men, and it is from these,
the enforced collection of which he has
already begun, that he hopes to get the
money. No ban of limitation is likely
to be raised, because borrowing from
the treasury is a crime, and it is pay
up or be prosecuted. He will also be
aided by his bonllsmen and Senator
Millard's bank, against which heavy
judgments are about to be rendered.

TEN DIE IN A MINE
rRheEDY IN INDIAN rERRIroRY.
Explosion In Coal Mine at South Nc
Alester Followed by Fatal
After-Damp.

South McAlester, /. r., Jan. 14.-Ten
miners lost their lives in the explosion
yesterday evening in mine No. 8 of
the Milby & Dow Mining Company, at
Dow, 1. r.. The victims are; Jack Nc
Coy, w. e. Keith, b. f. Farhurst, f..
M. Prichard, Bert Gatlin, John Benz
mas, Thomas Blua, John Blua, NJ.
Brow and John Beatal.
The ten men who lost their lives
were the only persons in the pit and
none was left to tell the story. All
the bodies were recovered and as
none were burned, the conclusion is
that death was due to fire damp. The
explosion did not injure the shaft,
which Is a new one, and the fire that
followed was put out before 1t did
much damage.
The sound Of the explosion was
heard plainly above ground and res
cuers were at work promptly. The
explosion occurred at n depth of $40
feet. The machinery was not injured
by the explosion and miners working
at the mouth Of the pit descended as
soon as It was safe.
The condition of the mine indicated
that the men might, had presence Of
mind been exercised, have made their
escape. The bodies were found with
in a comparatively small radius. The
fire was put out before it had reached
any of them and the last man was
brought to the surface before mid
night.
The victims have been in the en-
ploy of the company for some time
and most of them were men of family.

ussstyaaw Reid, General Wilson and
Captain Clark to GO.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The Cabinet
meeting yesterday was devoted largely
10 the consideration Of the appoint
ment Of representatives Of this coun-
try 1T the coronation Of King Edward
VII. At the conclusion the following
designations were announced By the
secretary OF state:
Special ambassador, Whitelaw Reid
Of New York; representative Of the
United States army, General james IL.
Wilson Of Delaware; representative Of
the United States navy, Captain
Charles e. Clark, commander OF the
battleship Oregon during the Spanish
American war and now governor Of
the naval home at Philadelphia.
There are to be three secretaries as
follows:
J.. p. Morgan, Jr., son Of J.. Pierpont
Morgan Of New York; Edmund Lin
coin Bayliss, a b%arrister of New York,
and William WetmOre, son of Senator
Wetmore Of Rhode Island.
Mr.. Choate, II ambassador to Lon
don, who sailed to-day for his post,
will not, strictly speaking, have any
official connection with the special en-
bassy. This was the fact during the
golden Jubilee, when Ambassador Hay
was not even eX-OfficiO a member Of
the special representation of the Unit
ed States government. As a matter
of fact, however. the United States
ambassador is a very important figure
in the ceremonies and is in almost ev-
cry instance attendant upon all the
functions in which the special repre-
sentatives participate.
General Wilson had a conference
with Secretary Root at the War De
partment this afternoon and formally
accepted the appointment as military
member Of the special embassy to
London.

GENERAL LAwroN,s LETTER.
What He Said About the Relations of
Americans and FiIipinos.

Louisville, Ky, Jan. 15.-The letter
from General IL. w. Lawton to which
Senator Hoar referred in his speech in
the Senate to-day, was written to John
Burnett, eX-minister to Siam, and was
dated Manila, October 6, 1899. When
General Lawton was killed Mr.. Bar
rett thought Mrs. Lawton would value
the letter highly and sent it to her.
Mrs. Lawton, who lives in a suburb Of
Louisville, gave the letter to the Even
ing Post. The first part of the letter
simply commends an article Mr.. Bar
rett had written for a New York mag
azine. The part that has caused so
much discussion follows:
Il agree with you that mistakes have
been made here, but l would to God
that the whole truth of this whole
Philippine situation could be known
by every one in America. l wish our
people could know it as l know it.
81 agree that, if the real facts in con.
nection with the history, inspiration
and conditions of this Instruction, and
the hostile influences, local and exter-
mai, such rs the catipunan and juntas,
that now encourage the enemy, as well
as the actual possibilities of these
Philippine islands and people, and
their relations to the great East, could
be understood at home in America, we
would hear no more political talk Of
unjust Shooting Of government into
the Filipinos, or unwise threats Of
hauling down u flag in the Philip
pines.
You are right. Some of us have
modified our views since we first
came, and if these so-called anti-im-
perialists of Boston would honestly
ascertain the truth on the ground here,
end not in distant America, they
whom l dislike to believe to be other
than honest men m~isinformed, would
be convinced Of the error of their ex-
aggerated statements and conclusions
and of the cruel and unfortunate eff
feet Of their publication here.
1T is kind Of you to caution me
about exposure under fire, but If I am
shot by a Filipino bullet, 1t might as
well come from one of my own men.
These are strong words, and yet I say
them because 1 know from my own
observation, confirmed by the stories
of captured Filipino prisoners, that the
continuance of fighting is chiefly due
to reports that are sent out from
America and circulated among these
ignorant natives by the leaders, who
know better"

GENERAL klrcHENER's REPORT
He is Supposed to Be Engaged in Sur
rounding General De Wet.

He is Supposed to Be Engaged in Sur
rounding General De Wet.
London, Jan. 15.-Perhaps the most
important point in Lord K%itchener's
weekly report, dated johannesburg,
January 18th, is the omission of all
mention of General DeWet, from
which it is deduced that the British
commandments is more than us
ually hopeful of effective results from
his present effort to surround DeWet.
Since the disaster at Zeefontein
strong British columns have been per-
sistently logging DeWet's force, while
armored trains have prevented him
from crossing the railroad line and
have forced him northward. Lord
Kitchener is supplying DeWet's pur-
suers with relays and remOunts.
Lord Kitchener reports that since
January 9th twenty Beers have been
killed, nine wounded, twenty-one cap
tured and that ninety-fve surrendered.
He also reports the narrow escape Of
General Botha from capture by Cen
eral Bruce Hamilton. Hearing of a
concentration of Beers at Knapdar.
Bruce Hamilton went to the spot, only
to find that the Beers had been given
the alarm aud that 400 of them were
trekking, three miles distant, with
General BOtha in n cape cart, leading.
Bruce Hamilton chased the Beers for
seven miles, until his horses gave out,
captured thirty-two Beers and Quanti-
ties Of ammunition and stock.

MInas and smeIters . Resume.

Butte, Mont, Jan. 15.-An Of the
Boston and Montana mines and the
big smelter at Great Falls, which have
been shut down since last October for
the purpose, 1t is claimed, of curtailing
the copper production, are about to
start up again. The smelter has start
ed operations on a large quantity OF
second class ore which was on hand
at the time of the shutdown, and the
Great Northern railroad to-day began
hauling ore again from the mines at
Butte, the ore bins being full.
The Mountain View mine, one Of the
largest producers Of the company, will
start with a fun force of men to-mor-
row morning, and all the other mines
Will be running, according to orders
given to-day, within two or three days.
1t is claimed that the mines will pro-
duce 1900 ton of ore a day, which is
about 500 tons less than before the
shutdown. The Anaconda company Is
also increasing its output.
