WILL MOVE AGAINST RAcoLoD.
Troops VIII Attack Place Where Sol
diers Were Murdered.

MANILA, Aug. 1S.-The Moro situa-
tion in Minandao is considered criti-
cal. 1t is believed that American
troops will soon move against Bacolod,
where the murder of two men from
the Twenty-seventh regiment was
plotted recently. A small party of
Moros surprised an outpost of the
Twenty-seventh at Camp Vickers on
August z and succeeded in killing two
and wounding one American. They
came from Bacolod. Bitter opposition
exists against the Americans at Caco-
lod, and Captain John ]. Pershing of
the Fifteenth cavalry, commanding
the American forces at Lake Lanao,
has recommended the reduction of the
Bacolod fortress.
General Chaffee, who recently left
Manila on a tour of final inspection,
reached the island of Mindanao on
Friday. In a conference with the
olcal commander, General Chaffee
argued that unless the American forces
moved decisively against the hostiles
they would lose the support of the
friendly Moros.

SIGN The TREATY
NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN UNI.
TED STATES AND CHINA.
FINAL SETTLEMENT is REACHED
The Compact Is Negotiated by F. S.
Sharretts, Who Briefly Informs the
State Department of It's consumma-
tion on August 15.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18-The state
department has received a dispatch
from T. S. Sherretts, the treasury eX-
| pert who was commissioned by the
| state department to negotiate a tariff
| between the United States and China,
stating that the treaty was signed on
the 18th inst, and that he would sail
for the United States on the first
steamer
The announcement contained in Mr..
Sherretts' brief dispatch to the state
department brings to successful con-
clusion negotiations which have been
in progress for many months for a
tariff treaty between China and this
country. 1t was stipulated as one Of
the features of the peace agreement
between China and the foreign powers,
at the close of the Boxer outbreak,
that an entirely new fabric to the
trade treaties should be made.
This carried out the purpose Secre-
tary Hay had maintained throughout
the preceding negotiations for an open
door," the desire being to open up
foreign communications with the in
terror of China and thus gain access
to the vast markets of the empire.
Following the conclusion of the
peace arrangements, Mr.. Sherretts
was selected to carry on the tariff
negotiations in behalf of the United
States. This selection was due to his
long familiarity with tariff affairs, as
he had assisted in the framing of re-
cent tariff legislation before congress,
and had also served as one of the gen.
eral appraisers of New York. He
went to China about year ago, and
out the details of tariff agreement.
It was announced about a month
ago that the British commissioners
had concluded a treaty with China,
and it was understood at that time
that the British treaty would serve as
a basis for similar treaties with the
United States and other foreign coun-
tries. The state department was ad
vised at the time that the rates on i'm
ports entering China were 1919 per
cent and the export duties 71s per
cent.
One Of the most important provis-
ions of the British-China treaty was
that abolishing the Likin tax. 1t is
presumed that similar rates are made
in the American treaty, and that the
Likin tax is abolished as far as it
relates to American goods in transit.
The Likin tax has been one of the
most burdensome exactions of the an
tiquated Chinese systems, as it was
levied by the officials at various
points through the interior, without
uniformity, and often with less regard
for commercial ends than for the en-
richment of the unscrupulous local Of
ficials. The abolition CT the Likin
tax will go far toward encouraging
foreign trade and traffic in the in
terror of China.
Mr.. Sherretts' dispatch is dated at
Shanghai, and does not go into de-
tails regarding the treaty he has
signed.

French, Spanish and Dutch consuls ana
asked them In case the British landed
marines to intervene TO prevent the
firing on the forts and to delay any
movement on the forts, as he had re-
ceived orders from the government to
evacuate the place. The commander
added that II the consuls refused to In

would defend his post and could not an

which is without any defense with the
exception of a few armed policemen.
At o'clock, however tho Charybdis
and the Quail left La Guayra and the
fears of the population subsidized.
What caused most OF the alarm was
the fact that when the British ships ar
rived here they took up command
ing position, their guns covering the
forts, and remained stationary for a
few moments as II about to open fire.
The Charybdis and the Quail steamed
away in the direction of Cuaracao.
The foreign consuls subsequently
called on the project. who assured them
there was no danger at present. He
added that the commander OF the fort
had been needlessly alarmed and had
only succeeded in almost causing a
panic.
