DIR. J. A. Irwin, president of the British Schools
and Universities Club of NewYork, a good
deal surprised last night when lie told of the
provision of Cecil Rhodes's will, by which he left
a reported of S10.000,000 to enable two Ameri-
cans from each of the States and Territories to go
to oxford.
Cecil Rhodes always original" said Dr.
Irwin ''and in nothing more than In this endow-
ment of scholarships at oxford for Americans
But novel the idea is think il is a grand good
thing. / have never met American who studied
in an English university cherish any narrow
American young men in oxford every year, prob
ably the picked men, in sense of their States

go to English university to widen their educa-
ton, or TO tit them more thoroughly for some par
ticular line of work, but who have been deferred
from lack of funds. They will be benefited by the
provision.
I'VE will have to wait for the details such
how the two from each State TO be chosen.

ORDER FOR MASSACRE AT MANILA.
ISSUED BY GENERAL LUNA TWO WEEKS
BEFORE FILIPINOS ATTACKED
THE CITY

Washington, April A little a year ago
the Senate adopted resolution calling on the Sec
rotary of War for information tending to show
the authenticity and genuineness. of the alleged
order for the massacre of the foreign residents of
Manila on the evening and night of February 10,
1899. The Secretary has just made a response TO
this resolution, all of the time since the adoption
of the resolution being required to complete the
search for the necessary papers here and in the
islands. The Secretary transmits Photographic
reproduction of the alleged massacre order bearing
date of February T. 1892 and with this photograph
are number of papers intended to demonstrate
that it is absolute copy of original that act
ualy existed, and issued by the late General
Luna Conirmatory evidence this point, II Is
said, is a statement by Aguinaldo, affirming the
eeHuineness of Llna's signature to the order.
The Secretary's report says that Luna was at
that time director assistant secretary of war
of the Malolos government and commanding gem
eral of the Philippine army operating in the north
ern boundaries OF the city of Manila Sandico, who
was colonel of militia, and whom army officers
in 1899 generally believed have been the author
of this order, a member of General Luna S
staff, and probably the medium through "nlch the
order was given by Luna to the chiefs of miltla
stationed in Manila The Secretary says that addi-
tional corroboTative evidence TO the AUTHENTICITY
of the order is the fact, as set forth IN the ac-
companying papers, that this Luna order was dis
covered In the personal effects of Lieutenant
Colonel Jose Leyba, an intimate friend or 'Iehefh
Luna, a member of his STAFF, and one or the most
active officers who took part IN the defence OF the
skirts of Manila Tarec. Finally. II Is SAID that
on February D. 1899. n little two weeks after
the date of the order, daring attack was MADE
by the insurgents on the American forces IN
