STIRRING UP FILIPINOS.
Effect of Loose Talk Of Indepen-

LFRoM mn rRInuNc RuEEAu.I ]


Washington. Sept. 26.-The President has
ceved letter from General Luke +. Wright,
Governor Of the Philippines which is the occa-
sion of some anxiety TO those who have the best
interests OF the islands at heart because it
demonstrates that once more Democratic par
tisanship is having its effect In disturbing the
peaceful conditions in the archipelago and
tarding the work of the administration in pre-
pairing the Fiipinos for the responsibilities OF
elf-gOvernment.
1t appears that the loose arguments and al
most Il Dughtless denunciatons of the more vir-
uient Democratic spebnders being trans
mitted to the Philippines. and are. General
Wright relates. making more difficult than
would otherwise be the case the task imposed
the American officials In the Philippines
General Wrights letter is. in part. follows:
The continued discussion TO the capacity OF
the Filipino for self government and his imme-
diate ultimate independence is having its ef-
feet here, and makes our task more difficult
than 1t otherwise would be. The less a man is
equipped with intelligence and those qualities
which make for good citizenship. the more easily
can he be persuaded that he is the pOSSeSSor
of all these qualities. This people have their
full share of ambition and vanity. ana they also
have their full share of reckless. half-formed
characters who ready for intrigue In any
direction which promises them profit or mower
1t is this class which has largely given force
and direction to the Aglpayan movement and
has recruited it's ranks from the ignorant and
dangerous elements
In this general connection may say to YOU
a matter OF information. that the agitation
in the United States for Filipino Independence
and the spoken and written utterances of prom
inent men there who are urging it are all
brought here and published in the native news
papers and are being made the text Tor edito-
rials insisting that the Filipino people are now
ready to become an independent nation The
effect OF all this is distinctly injurious. It's ten
dency is to restore the influence of the old insJr-
rection leaders and to make them active in
preaching the old propaganda This i'm turn
has the effect of demoralizing and weakening
the more conservative and thoughtful Fiiipinus
who fear that If they speak out as they really
think they would be considered the enemies Of
their people and lose prestige with them. The
more prominent and best educated FilipinoS
who naturally have their ambitions are in
clined TO Join in the general cry.

SKlRMISHES FREQUENT.
Many Casualties at hpu-JapGn' S

ST Petersburg. Sept GA dispatch has been
recelyed from General huropatkn announcing
that the japanese are preparing an extensive
turning movement east Of Moukden. A large
force is advancing from Liao-Yang TO Sian
Chen. Skirnishes have occurred in the valley
OF the Hun River and at Inpu, between Bent
siapudza and the railroad There were many
casualties at Inpu.
General Sakharoff. in a dispatch dated yester-
day. telegraphs that the japanese advance

Kaoutou Pass. commanding the road 10 Fu-
Shan, but were repuise6 10y detachment Of the
Russian advance guard
On the south front all is reported quiet though
shots are exchanged daily. and shrmishes occur
between the advance posts.
The cause of the extreme deliberation in the
japanese advance on Moullden was explained
BY General Kuropatkins dispatch. which in
dicates that Field Marshal Oyame has not yet
concentrated his forces Fresh troops are con-
stantly arriving at Beu siapudza. while others.
which recently reached Liao-Yang are march
ing up the Tai-Tse River 10 Sian-Chan. These
reinforcements presumably come from Japan.

Chan is sufficiently strong il seems likely the

ground over which the Sian-Chan army will

In the mean while. General Kuroki is trying 10
seize and cross the Hun River far east OF Mouk-
den Thence ne is expected 10 move down the
river and Cooperate with the fourth army from
sian-Chan. while Generals Oku and Nodzu en-
gage Kuropatkin's attention south OF Moukden.
The attacks on Da Pass and San-Lung- Ku on
September 90 were the first signs Of this vast
fanking movement
General Kuropatkin now reports that japanese
scouts have been encountered near the Hun
River, half way 10 Moukden. trying 10 seize
Kaou-Tou Pass ter miles northeast Of Bentsia-
pudza, in order 10 clear the way 10 Fu-Shan,

OYAMA MASSING FORCES.
FIGHTING IN HUN VALLEY
IapaneSe Continue Preparations for
FLanking MOUement.

The Japanese. preparations for an ex-
+ensiye turning movement against Mouk-
den continue. General Kuropatltin re-
oorts attempts by Kurobi's troops to oc-
cupy passes some distance cast of the city
and the constant movement Of reinforce
ments across the Tai-Tse from Liao-Yang.
There are no further details of the re-
oorted assault on Port Arthur. Belief is
expressed in the Russian capital that Ad-
miral Wren will be forced to put to sea,
and that the chances for his warships
escape are few.
The question OF coptraband has not been
reopened at St. Petersburg, although it is
announced that Russia granted the Amer
ican and British contentious in the case OF
foodstuffs only. Further representations,
II IS thought, may result in placing cotton
on the conditional list.

Justice Phelps. AT Lee, Mass, in fning Hugh
Gurney third secretary Of the British Embassy
was received at the State Department in tele-
gram from Nr. Raikes, first secretary OF the
embassy. who IS ia LenOX. The department I'M
rnediately transmitted this telegram in substance
TO the Governor Of Massachusetts, with the Sus-
gestion that he do whatever might be necessary
10 secure the diplomatic immunity Of Mr. Cur
ney.
II is believed at the state Department that the
case may be far more serious than the local ohi-
cials at Lee seem to regard ii. In the first
place by oonstitutioral and statutory law the
persons attached to embassy are expressly
relieved from any legal responsibility and the
exemption even extends TO domestic servants
Section 1903. Revised Statutes, declares that
any writ prosecuted in any court Of the United
States or Of "a State or by any judge or justice
intended 10 cause the arrest and imprisonment
Of any public minister or his servant shall be
void The succeeding section. 4,0G4, Revised
Statutes, provides that every person by whom
amy such process is obtained or prosecuted.
whether as party or attorney and every officer
concerned in its execution. shall be deemed
,,iolator OF the laws of the nations and dis
turber of the public repose and shall be inn
nrisoned for not more than three years, and
fined al the discretion or the court"
II will remain for the Governor or Massa-
,busetts to take initial action in this case. which
will require prompt redress. The last important
raaodenf was IN 1892 at the picnic resort of
