UNITED STATES CALLED SENSATIONAL
Chinese Paper Puts th, Blame Upon
japan.

Hongkong, (By Cable) The South
China Morning Post, analyzing the Sit
uation in the Chinese Empire with ref
erence to the rumors OF pending anti
foreign outbreak, expresses the opinion
that revolutionary rising at Peking is
imminent.
1t considers this danger the result of
steps taken by Japan, with the support
OF the United States and Great Britain,
to enforce program of progressive re-
form upon the Chinese government,
Yuan Shi Kai, the most powerful man
in China, being used as the instrument
for this purpose. A secret agreement
between the Japanese government and
the progressive party at Picking undoubt-
edly exists.
1t may be necessary for Japan to de-,
pose the Empress Dowager unless she
acquiesces in the effort TO change the
government.
Upon any other hypothesis than the
foregoing the Post fails to understand
what it calls the Sensational" attitude
of the United States government with re-
gard to antiforeign feeling in China
which feeling, says The Post, does not
exist. The recent massacres of mission
aries were due to local feeling, the con-
sequence of grave indiscretions on the
part of the missionaries. Even the boy
colt is confined to the mercantile classes.
There is nothing, The Post concludes,
really to justify apprehensions of anti
foreign feeling or to warrant the dispatch
of American troops.

Manila, (By .Cable).-General Wood
reports the hardest fight that has oc-
Cured since the close of the Instruction
in the Philippines. The battle, which
lasted two days, was between the Ameri-
can forces near Jolo, Jolo Island, and
Moro outlaws infesting the mountains,
who defed the authority of the Sultan
and raided peaceful inhabitants.
The Moros were attacked and ami
hilated in their unique fort in the lava
cone Or crater of volcano on Mount
Dajo, 2,Ioo feet high. The operations
were directed by Col Joseph w. Dun
can, of the Sixth Infantry.
The Americans lost Is killed and 81
wounded.
The losses of the Moros were 600
killed.
WOUNDED OFFICERS.
Among the Americans wounded were:
ENSIGN H. S. COOKE, JR., of the
American steamer Pampanga, whose in
juries are severe.
CAPT. JOHN R. WHITE, of the
constabulary, severely wounded in the
thigh.
CAPT. TYREE R. RIVERS, of the
Fouth Cavalary, wounded in thigh;
slight.
FIRST LIEUTENANT GORDON
JOHNSTON, severely wounded in the
shoulder.
FIRST LIEUTENANT ERNEST H.
AGNEW of the Sixth Infantry, wounded
in the hand.
FIRST LIEUTENANT WILEY T..
CONWAY, eye; slight
A naval contingent operated with the
military and sustained 81 casualties, in
Guiding Coxswain Gilmore, slightly
wounded.
PERPENDICULAR RIDGES.
In his report General Wood says, after
describing the field of operation:
"The last 400 feet of the mountain
were at an angle of so degrees, and there
were so perpendicular ridges, covered
with a growth of timber, strongly forth
fed and defended by an invisible force
of Moros"
After ennumerating the losses as above
given, General Wood adds:
Gail the defenders of the Moro strong
hold were killed The artillery was lifted
by block and tackle for distance of 800
feet and placed in position on the lip
of the crater. It was the most difficult
position we ever assaulted. The resist
ance was literally to the death. Briga-
der General Bliss and myself were pres
ent throughout the action.
"The attacking columns were COM
manded by Major Omar Bundy, Capt K.
P. Lawton, Captain Rivers, Capt L. M.
Koehler, Captain McClarhern and Lieu-
tenant Johnston
MOROS GREAT FIGHTERS.
The Moros are big, well-built men and
splendid fighters
Like all of the islands of that archi-
pelago, Jolo is volcanic. During the last
two years, however, most of the volca-
noes have been extinct and in the dry
craters water has accumulated and little
lakes have been formed. Those dry
craters often form a splendid natural for
tifcation, the country around it being
open and the top being eminent and easily
defendahlc.
For eight months past the Moros have
held the crater of Mount Dajo, and from
there they sailed forth on journeys of
depreciation. The completeness of their
rout and the terrible punishment in
hicted upon them, as we'll as the pres
ence of Generals Wood and Bliss, leads
to the conclusion that the attack was we'll
planned and carefully executed.

For Clean Paper Money.

Clean paper money, was the subject
of hearing before the House Com
n1ittee on Banking and Currency. Repre-
sentative Gaines, of Tennessee, said the
high charges of express companies for
shipping paper money prevent banks
from sending dirty money to the United
States Treasury for resistance. He
urged that his bill for the shipment of
dirty money by mail, without cost to the
shipper, be passed. Mr.. Gaines said
President Roosevelt asked him a few
days ago about the Clean Money Bill,
and said he is anxious to have meas
ure passed OF keep the governments pa
per money clean. He also said Secretary
Shaw is much interested in keeping mon
ey clean. 1t was urged by Mr.. Gaines
that at present much of the governments
paper money carries disease germs and
threatens public health.

Buffalo, N. Y. Aug. 14.-Fire follow
ing two explosions In Smiths general
store in Seio, small village about three
miles west OF Ncllsville, destroyed the
principal business block Of the place.
Smiths store, the Harris Bank and three
dwellings were burned The fire started
at 1 o'clock yesterday morning and
burned for many hours.
Safe blowers are believed To be respon-
sible for the fire and 1t II thought that
the charred remains Of at least two
thieves will be found when the ruins
have cooled enough to be searched.
The door BIT The Smith safe ii visible
lin the ruins and shows hole drilled
BY robbers. The safe had held $500,
which probably was burned. The second
explosion followed 20 quickly that it il
thought improbable that the robbers es-
capped. II may have been due to an
extra supply Of nitro-glyccrine carried
BY the robbers Or to gas connections be-
ing shattered BY the first explosion.
The fire spread rapidly from Smiths
store and soon enveloped the bank next
door and from this spread to d dwelling.
The fire was checked By blowing Up with
dynamite two dwellings In it's path. The
Erie Station was saved by this means.
