FILIPIN0S ARE KILLED
Men, Women and Children
Slain by Rebels.
DETAILS ARE LACKING
Report of the Massacre Re-
Ceived by Mail.

Manila, May pa report has been re-
ceived from Captain Overton on the Is
land of Mindanao, dater May Is, stat
ing that massacre had taken place on
the 18th instant near Mala bang on the
southern coast of Mindanao. Fifty-three
..ipino men. women and children, the
military government at Malabang were
surprised at midnight while asleep by
the Datto Alisa and a band of Moros
from the Rio Grande valley, and slaught-
cred. The chief and his followers es-
capped before the alarm could be given.
Details of the massacre are meager.
Major General Wood has been in the
interior of Mandanao since May Il. Cable
communication between Manila ard Man
danao is interrupted and the wires are
down in the interior of the island. The
report of the massacre was received by
mail from a correspondent at camp Over
ton.
Washington, May Ex-Governor Wright
has cabled the secretary of war, making
the following quotations fr moa dispatch
sent to General Wright by General Wood:
No disturbance in Cottobato valley.
Affair was a fight with a band of out
laws under Ali, who is as much an enemy
of peaceful Moros as of ours All Moros
in valley are at work and friendly and,
for the first time in history, are taking
out cedulas Have taken out $500 in
last two weeks. Not the slightest cause
for anxiety"
Governor Wright adds:
Leonard Wood visited me. Baguo,
about two weeks since. We went over
Moro matters fully. He was then SAN
guine there would be no further dis
turbance except that involved in running
down Ali, who is a fugitive in the noun
tains with a small band of Moros l am
inclined to. think him correct in his views
Incidents of this character are always
liable to occur and indeed, may be looked
for. Aside from what Leonard Wood
says in the above telegram, 1 do not be-
lieve it possible that there will be any
concerted opposition by Moros. They
have no chief of prominence around whom
they could gather; they are divided into
small groups, commanded by insignifi-
cant dattos. intensely jealous and at
general war with each other. The Moro

of government wholly at variance with

produced some dissatisfaction but for tha

Bay State Passes a Bill
Against Bribery.
1T CONCERNS BUSINESS
Private EmpIoye and Employ
er Are Included in the Act.

Boston, May 23.-The state legislature
has passed bill which has gone to the
governor for his signature for the pur-
pose of stopping the corruption of en-
ployes by the giving and receiving OF
bribes. The practice is said to be quite
general throughout New England, and
the manufacturers particularly regard the
corruption as a curse. The bill pro-
vides that whoever gives, offers or prom
ises to an agent, employee or servant,
any gift or gratuity whatever with intent
to influence his action in relation to his
principles, employers of masters business,
or any agent. employe or servant who

particular manner in relation to his en-
players business shall be punished by a
fine of not less than $40 nor more than
$500, or Imprisonment for not more than
one year. The act is designed to prevent
the payment of commissions on purchases

ON AMERICAN TRADE.
Consul Miller Tells What Is Doing in
Manchuria.

Washington. d. c., May Pa report on
American trade in Manchuria has been
received at the state department from
General Consul Mile.
Mr. Miller says that the entire trade of
Manchuria during the year of 1899 went
through the port of Newchwang. whereas
since that year seven different avenues
of trade have been used. each doing con-
siderable business. The consul says there
are no official records from which to
give even an estimate of the goods coming
in and going out through these channels.
excepting for Newchwang.
The foreign imports in 1903 for New
chwang amounted to S13.314012. against
s15,6414 442 in 1899. the largest import in
the history of the port. Manchuria, the
consul says, is extremely rich in minerals.
including coal. iron. copper. silver, gold
and other kinds but these have been
workfed only in small and crude ways by
the natives. Should this mineral wealth
be developed and worked by modern ways
and in manner fitting its possibilities.
Manchuria. he predicts. will prove to be
one of the richest sections in Asia.
Mr. Miller says il is a mistake to attri-
butte the growth of Manchurian trade to
the building of the Russian railway. as
the bulk of the produce is hauled in carts
which compete with the railroad in a
haul of 400 miles or more
1t is erroneous TO think that the United
States has a monopoly of the Manchu-
rian trade or that there is no success
ful competitor says the consul. ''as
there are four active sources of compe-
tition. each striving for a stronger hold
on the trade. and the contest is so close
that the variation in the value of gold
and silver has determining influence
thereon"
The products of the hand-looms of Chi
ma. known as Nankeen. made from the
yarns produced in the various cotton
mills of China. from both native and for
eign cotton. is the strongest competitor
Mr. Miller says that the growth in the
trade of the United States cotton goods
in Manchuria represents the greatest ex-
pansi1n " United States trade in the
Orient. and the year 1908 was the largest
in its history.
Mr. Miller closes his report by saying
that the development of the -four milling
business in Manchuria and the sale OF the
cheaper Shanghai -four have practically
closed the market for the United States
-four at all points except Port Arthur.

WITH CHINESE BANDITS.
General Ma Orders That Grain Be
Held for Chinese

Lao Yang, May 23.-General Ma COM
mander of the Chinese troops. is in con-
Stant communication with Toulisan the
chief of the Chinese bandits who are
adopting military organization under
japanese instructors. Toulisans district
is the granary of Manchuria. He is a
great organizer and built seven immense
granaries. which are strongly garrsoned.
Toulisan ordered the inhabitants to bring
in their surplus grain, forbidding them TO
sell it to the Russians and ordering them
to reserve the grain for the Chinese ar
mics which are coming from the north
west. Hundreds of disguised soldiers
are coming up the river. styling them
selves workingmen. They remain idle
and are well fed. while the Russians are
unable to get food. The Chinese Of
ficials are obsequious to Touisan, who
collects the taxes of the district. Swarms
OF disguised Chinese soldiers are in the
vicinity of Lao Yang and Chinese troops
are guarding the Shan Hal kwan-Shin
Min Tung railway. y The Russians are
having the greatest difficulty in pacify-
ing the Inhabitants. who apparently are
anxious to rise against them.
Toulisan. General Ma and Viceroy Yuan
Shi kai are partisans of the Ming dynasty
and are openly planning a revolution.
with the aid of the japanese, who clev
erly take advantage of the quarels be-
tween the dynasties. The former is
championed by the bannermen, or pTivi-
legged class of Mongols. who hate the
Chinese The latter are headed by Yuan
Shi Kai and the whole Chinese nation.
The provinces and cities where the Chi
nese element dominates are invariably
pro-Japanese. The Russian sympathizers
are only 70 be found among the ban

HOLD PORT ARTHUR.
Russians Are Confident Since Japan's
Late Reverses.

Che Foo. May 23.-The captain of 4
Russian merchantmen. who left Port Ar
thur on May 20, and is among the recent
|, arrivals from Dalny. says in an inter
view that the whole of the Japanese
feet had not returned to Port Arthur
since the 18th inst, when besides the bat
tleship Hatsuse, another big vessel
struck mine and was towed away dis
abled. Gunboats and topedo boats re-
turned off the ports on the 2oth inst,
when the Russians succeeded in sinking
a small gunboat and two torpedo boats.
The Russians are now confident of hold
ing Port Arthur with the 10000 men now
stationed there. exclusive Of the navy
and the crowds of mechanics working on
the damaged warships. all of which, ex-
cept the Czarevitch and the Retzivan n.
are ready to join the fleet These will
also be ready for sea service by June J.
The entrance to the harbor has been
cleared and small boats now pass IN
and out freely from Port Arthur to
Dalny.
The forts on the land side of Port Ar
thur have been captured and are now
prepared for a severe contest
OF the soldiers left at Dalny the ma
jority have gone to Port Arthur and the
only defenses left there now are the
mines in the harbor. The attemptsof the
japanese to land troops in the Kin Chau
gulf on the 18th inst sfailed, owing to
insufficient water TO float the boats. There
has been no fighting in the vicinity Of
Port Arthur up to Saturday since the
Kin Chau fight on the 18th inst, when
two squadrons of Japanese cavalry were
wiped out, only eight men of which es-
capped
Several unsuccessful attempts were
made by the japanese to land troops at
Talien Wan last week. II is said. on
the way over passengers on the junk
just arrived heard firing in the direction
of Port Arthur last night.
The Japanese have reported to the con-
suls here that a wreck in the Lao Tung
gulf is dangerous to navigation and it
is possible that this is the other ship
said to have been damaged at Port Ar
thur on the 18th inst. as the japanese
feet is known 10 have entered the gulf
after the disaster TO the Hatsuse.
