the other day he led his troops against
a force of insurgents who were
strongly entrenched on top of a hill
and successfully defeated them.' The
Oiill was so steep that the men had
.to climb up by the aid of their hands,
while the wounded rolled to the foot
of the hill when hit. The Americans
got within !10 yards of the Insurgents
before thu Filipinos retreated. All
of thu men acted bravely, (len. Mac

Twelve American Killed.
Manila, Sept. 3. (Copyright, 1000,
the Associated Prcs.) The Filipino?
seem incapable of realizing the scope
and ptirposc of the legislative func
tions of the commission of pence.
The coinmisfion enters upon the gov
ernmental Held tinder the following
conditions: A majority of the island
ers desire pence, and the resumption
of business under the Americans, but
they are so cowed by a long series
of murderous atrocities and destruc
tion of property by their armed coun
try men that they dare not actively
show their feelings, especially be
cause experience lias taught them
what such an expression of sentiment
will bring upon them from the merci
lessly revengeful rebels. A genuine
reign of terror is exercised by insur
gents and Ladrones over peaceful
country folk, in order to collect the
rewnue and recruits their operations
require; and widespread vengeance is
wreaked in the vicinity of garrisoned
towns. For example, the insurgent
general, Cailles, in the province of
Lcgiinu, put to death the president
and otllce-holders of the town of Hay,
on Laguua dc Hay, olllcials who had
been Installed by the Americans and
gave orders that a similar fate should
be meted out to other adherents of
the American cause. lie also ordered
that all Filipino soldiers who sold
their rifles to the Americans should
be killed.
Twelve Americans, including two
captains and two lieutenants, have
been killed during the past two
weeks. The ofllelal reports of the
encounters in which these casualties
occurred arc meager.

tired to Nolspruit station, further
down the line toward Portuguese

whether the main body of (len.

ly postponed for the special order of
the day, was again taken up and dis
posed of by tho adoption of a motion
to strike out the part providing for
nn increase of the per capita tax nnd
making no change in the present sit

on militnry instruction was also read
and adopted, recommending the send
ing of national flags to posts in Ha

pose of saluting and parades and to
increase familiarity with and respect
for the flag. It was announced that
tho organization was $30,000 in debt

London, Aug. 31. There is it very
buoyant feeling in the city due to
the prevailing impression that the
Soutli African war is running out to
its Inst drcKs. Lord Kobcrts' last dis
patch shows that the salient points
on both wings of Gen. Hotha's posi
tion have been carried in Hullcr's ad
vnnce. The British troops occupied Macha
dodorp, President Kruger's most re
cent capital, Tuesday. Tho Doers
evacuated this place with great pre
cipitation, but tills was probably duo
to knowledge of Gen. French's move
ments. The British cavalry general
has worked right around thu north
of the Boer lines, and was almost op
posite Bailer's position nnd a few
miles away from him, at Flandsfon
tcin. Thus, unless the Boers had de
camped hastily, they would have found
themselves caught between two Brit
ish columns, nnd could scarcely have
saved their guns and transport.

lntter's husband, James Bennett, is
being pursued by olllccrs nnd others,
it being charged that he did the
shooting. It is snid that Bennett was
jealous of Burnett and objected to
Mrs. Bennett taking dinner nt Bar

Uussia from China nnd the United
States' responso thereto were made

ddcred the expediency of so doing.
The correspondence is unique in tho
listory of diplomatic exjohnnge. It
nay be snid to illustrate n clever move
ny which the United States govern

Knclnuil Nat l'lensed with lrnpsls.
London, Sept. 1. The afternoon
papers nppear to be perplexed at tho
Amcrico-Itussian accord to secure the
prompt evacuation of l'ckin. They
point out how completely this upsets
preconceived notions of the grouping
of the powers on thu Chinese question
nnd tho concensus of London's edi
torial opinion is that the proposals
arc antagonistic to British interests
and that the allies should remain in
l'ckin until the Chinese government
is reestablished and tho ringleaders
of the present uprising nre punished.
The Globo seizes the opportunity
to indulge in unfriendly criticism, ac
cusing the United States of breaking
the concord of the powers and play
ing into the hands of Hussia against
Great Britain by supporting the sug
gestion of the employment of Li Hung
Chang who, the paper declares, is no
toriously hostile to Great Britain and
friendly to Hussin. The Globe urges
that the British government oppose
to the uttermost the idea of the evac
uation of l'ckin, in which course, tho
paper adds, it will be supported by
Emperor William, of Germany.
Almost C-rtnln to lie Adopted.
London, Sept. 1. The Associated
press has oilieial nuthority for an
nouncing that the American-Uussinii
proposal in favor of tho withdrawal
of the allied forces from l'ckin, with a
view of facilitating negotiations for
the conclusion of peace, has not onty
met. with considerable favor at Eu

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 1. Concerning
the action of the Grand Army of the

be used in southern schools as calcu
lated to perpetuate prejudice against
the general government, Gen. .lohn
B. Gordon, commander-in-chief of the

yesterday:
"Jt is dillleult for me to believe that
any respectable southern teacher ia
knowingly using any book that is in
tended to perpetuate sectional preju

the hearty approval of Gen. It. E. Lee,
and I believe with the sanction of our
whole people, 1 made earnest and per
sistent efforts to have banished from
the schools of the south and of the
north all sectional school books and
books which had any taint of bitter
