Wcr’d Shift His Difficulties Into the Field of Diplomacy. ZQV.T SORT Of RECOGNITION Re Wlthfi to 8end Civilian Govern mental Com Dilation to Olaenaa Situa tion— Write* a (.otter to tho Prealrtent of tho Republic"—Otla Wllllnjj to Cor respond With Him aa General of tho Insurgent a. MANILA, Oct. 2.—Auguinaldo’s third attempt to shift the difficulties Into the field oi diplomacy Is a repe tition of the other one or two, wi.n an Impossible endeavor to obtain some sort of recognition of his so-called government. The Filipino envoys had an hour’s conference with General Otis this morning. They brought from Augui naldo a message that he desired peace and wished to send a civilian gov ernmental commission to discuss the situation. General Otis replied that it was Impossible for him to recognize Aguinaldo’s government in that way. They presented a letter from Agui naldo us “president of the republic," which was largely a repetition of his recent appeals ior recognition. General Otis informed them that while he was willing to correspond with Aguinaido as general of the Insurgent forces ne must positively uecline to recognize him as president of the civil govern ment. Another conference will be held tomorrow. The Filipinos will remain two or three days. Their movements are unre stricted, but they are under the con stant chaperonage of Captain John son of the Sixteenth Infantry. Today they visited the hospitals and distrib uted money among the wounded Fili pinos, after which they made calls and received visitors at their hotel. Natives In their Sunday clothing thronged tne plaza in front of the ho tel all day stretching their necks to ward the window for a glimpse of the showy uniforms of the envoys. The assemblage finally increased to 1,000 people. When the envoys emerged for an afternoon drive the natives re moved their hats deferentially, and a crowd In vehicles or on foot followed the carriage inrough the streets. “We desire peace, but peace with independence and honor,” said Gen eral Alejandrino today, while convers ing with a representative of the Asso ciated Press. He impresses one as dig nified and impassionate and as a keen man of the world. He was educated in Europe and designed the remarka ble entrenchments from Manila to Taruc. While reticent regarding his mission, his conversation throws an interesting light on the Filipino view of the American attitude. “How long can the Filipino army and peoplo stand 60,000 American troops?” asked the representative of i the Associated Press. "Fighting in our way we can main tain a state of war and the necessity of a large army of occupation inaefln itely. You Americans are holding a few miles around Manila, a narrow line of railroad to Angeles and a cir cle of country around San Fernando. But you are ignorant of the resources of Luzon. We hold the immense rich, productive northern country from which to draw. Our people contrib ute the money and food which main tain our army and this Is done at a minimum of cost. “It 1b an interesting question what the cost to the American people is of maintaining the American troops in the Philippines. We do not, of course, know the amount, but it must be ex cessive. We perceive what an Amer ican soldier requires in this climate. On the other hand a Filipino exists with a handful of rice and a pair of linen trousers. We do not have to pay our soldiers and can practically hold up their wages as long as we desire. Even without our present supply of arms and ammunition we could' keep your arrfly occupied for years. “With an expense that grows daily how long will your people stand it? The Filipino people do not wish to continue the fighting. We have no army contractors. We have no busi ness men making profits from th< maintenance o four army; there is nothing in it for us, nor are the sala ries large enough to keep us fighting for money and position.” A CONFLICT APPEARS NEAR. Tuesday Named as the Day for Declara tion of War. LONDON. Oct. 2—The Berlin corre spondent of the Daily News says: Ad vices from The Hague say: Dr. Leyde has named Tuesday as the day for a formal declaration of war by the Boers.

Story that Imprisoned Miner* Are Belug Subjected to Punishment*. DENVER, Oct. 2.—A special to the News from Anaconda, Mont., says: President Boyce of the Western Federation of Miners will immediate ly appeal to President McKinley in behalf of the imprisoned Coeur d'Alene miners at w'ardner. For the last eight days, it is alleged, all the prisoners have been kept on a bread and water diet and for trivial violations of prison rules have been punished by being obliged to stand for eight hours immovable in the hot sun. For refusing to work the straw has been taken from their bunks and they have been compelled to sleep on the bare boards. No tobacco is per mitted and no visitors are allowed to speak to the prisoners. It is alleged that under tnese un usual punishments the prisoners are rapidly breaking down in health and some, under the sun ordeal, have be come crazed. These men have been imprisoned five months without trial and in the meantime two sessions of the district court have been held. Senator Carter will be asked to use his influence with the War depart ment immediately. NORTH DAKOTANS AT HOME, One Continuous Ovation From the Time They Cross the State Line, FARGO, N.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2—The functions and the receptions that have figured so prominently in the daily life of Ad miral Dewey since his arrival off Sandy Hook last Tuesday morning have proven almost too much for his strength. The admiral has been under such a perpetual physical and nervous strain that he is now almost exhausted. Saturday’s ceremonies were the most taxing on his strength of any that he has yet had to undergo, and he appear ed today looking pale and worn. De spite the fact that he retired early Sat urday evening and enjoyed a good night’s rest, the admiral yesterday was too fatigued to do more than remain in his room the greater part of the time and rest quietly. Congrcnanisn Rurkett 111. LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 2.—Congress man S. J. Burkett is seriously ill at his residence in this city. He was taken sick last Thursday, and on yes terday the announcement was made that he would be compelled to can cel some speaking engagements he had made, and it was also stated that the illness was from an attack of ap pendicitis. Dr. E. L. Holyoke, the physician in attendance, said today that tne condition of the patient was critical, but hopeful, and that it did not indicate the necessity for an op eration. Tonight the patient’s'condi tion is reported to be about the same as during the day. Germany Wants Host.

Don’t Lika Girl Students. MIDDLETOWN, Conn., Oct. 2.—The agitation that has waged at Wesleyan university relative to co-education has had the effect of reducing the fresh man dess to seven women thlB year, whereas there were twenty-five last year, which was the largest in the his tory of the college. This year’s fresh man class will number 101, which is but few less than the entering class last year. The students as a body are opposed to co-education and the de crease of women students is very grat ifying to them. TWAS ALL FOR DEWEY. Most Magnificent Marine Spectac'o C-.a: Seen In an American Port. NEW YORK, Sept. 30—No Roman conqueror returned from his triumph of barbaric splendor, no victorious king coming home from a successful War ever received such a magnificent ova tion as overwhelmed Admiral Dewey yesterday as he stood on the bridge of the Olympia at the head of a mag nificent fleet ol thunderers of the deep, followed by a thousand vessels of peace, each tiered and coated black with people, and sailed over the bright waters of the upper bay and up the broad pathway of the sun-lit river whose banks were gay with millions of flags and streamers dancing in the wina. The sky was blue, the water rippled under the fresh wind that held flag"? out straight and jaunty, and the wharves and piers, and rocky heights and grassy knolls were black with frantic, enthusiastic people who strived weakly to make their shout heard above the perfect bedlam of toot ing whistles that accompanied the ad miral ashore ana afloat. As the toml. of General Grant on Riverside drive was reached the fleet paid its tribute to the memory of the great warrior with a national salute of twenty-one roaring guns. The fleet then anchored and reviewed the al most endless procession of craft that steamed past, all so Duraened with humanity that they looked as if they would turn over before they got back to their piers. Toward the end, the parade became disorganized, and it took nours for the heterogeneous flotilla to get by. Darkness at last brought relief to the tired admiral, who had stood on the bridge for six hours bowing his ac knowledgments to the stentorian ex pressions of homage. New York has never witnessed be fore anything approaching this won derful, remarkade demonstration. The Columbian naval parade, the dedica tion of Grant's tomb and the recep tion of the North Atlantic squadron last fall all pale before this gigantic ovation to the sailor, who in a single morning destroyed an enemy’s fleet without the loss of a man or a ship. It is not beyona the mark to say that 3,000,000 people viewed the pageant from ashore and that 250,000 were afloat. LOOKS VERY WARLIKE. .Situation In the Transvaal Appears to He More Critical Than Kver. LONDON, Sept. 30.—(New York World Cablegram.)—I obtained last night from a high ministerial source the following authentic facts concern ing yesterday’s fateful meeting of the British cabinet. When the ministers assembled they were already in pos session of a draft of Chamberlain's proposed ultimatum to the Boer repub lic. The terms of me settlement laid down were: 1. The substitution of the articles of the Pretoria convention of 1881, for those of the London convention of 1884, respecting the Boer republic’s relations with foreign powers. This substitu tion means the abolition of all rights on the part of the public to deal with foreign powers and would amply recall Dr. L.eyds as Boer commissioner in Europe. 2. The abolition of all legislation re specting aliens adopted by the republic since 1881. This would remove all dis abilities placed by successive Boer ordinances on the outlanders. 3. The granting of municipal auto nomy to the Rand. This would give control of all local affairs such as police, sanitation, and so forth, to the district mainly inhabited by the out lander population. It is the revival of a scheme of home rule for the Rand, suggested by Chamberlain to Kruger after the Jamieson raid and contempt uously refused by Kruger. 4. The removal of all religious disa bilities. At present Catholics and Jews are disabled from holding many offices, even the most important kind. 5. The disarmament of the two great forts which command Johannesburg. GOSSIP NAMES MEIKLEJOilN. May He Appointed Governor of the Philippines. CHICAGO, Sept. 30—A dispatch to the Record from Washington says: The apparently reliable information that the president is about to appoint a civil governor for the Philippines is already causing gossip as to who the man may be. The name of George D. Meiklejohn, assistant secretary of war, is most frequently mentioned. He has the confidence of the president and has shown himself to possess administra tive abi.ity of high order in his work in the War department. Mar Vijlt Nebraska. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 30 While the official itinerary of President McKinley is being made up with a view of visitation to several points in the northwest decided upon, he has not definitely stated that he would not visit Nebraska. There are several routes by which the president can still visit Nebraska and meet his other appointments. Yellow Fever Spreading. WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—The yel low fever dispatches to Surgeon Gen eral Wyman tonight report three new cases at New Orleans and five persons now ill of the fever at Centerville, Miss. The first fro6t of the season occurred at Meridian, Miss., Iasi night and at Hansborough, Miss., Wednes day nignt. It is earlier than usual. Cattle Balden Held. CHEYENNE.

TOE FIGHT IT PAKAC American Forces in Luzon Get the Better of Insurgent Troops. THE ENEMY AGAIN PlIT TO ROUTE Wheeler, Wheaton and MacArthnr In Charge of the Troops Engaged—Few Losses on the American Side—Prepa ration for Other Forward Movements. MANILA, Sept. 29.—The movement against Porac, about eight miles from Bacolor, in Pampanga province, which began at daybreak this morning, is conducted personally by General Mac Arthur. General Wheeler, with the Ninth regiment and a battery, was ad vancing by two roads, while General Wheaton, commanding the Twelfth and Seventeenth regiments, is moving to block the insurgents from retreat ing to the north. The Thirty-sixth regiment accompanies General Mac Arthur. General MacArthur entered Porac after an hour’s fighting. The Ameri can loss was slight and the insurgent loss is not known. The enemy fled northward. When the Americans en tered the town they found it prac tically deserted. The attacking party moved on Porac in two columns. The Ninth infantry, with two guns from Santa Rita, was commanded by General Wheeler, and the Thirty-sixth infantry, under Colonel Bell, with one gun, accom panied General MacArthur from San Antonio. Both columns struck the town at 9 o’clock and opened a brisk fire, which was replied to by the enemy for half an hour. Then the in surgents fled and the Americans marched over their trenches and took possession of the place. Just before the fight Smith’s command, at Angeles, made a demonstration by firing artil lery up the railroad track Liscum reported one casualty and Bell reported four of his command wounded. The artillery did not have any men injured. CONQUERING BEAR IS DEAD. Grizzled Sioux llrare Steps From motor Car to Happy Hunting Grounds. OMAHA, Sept. 29.—Conquering Bear, ihe grizzled warrior of the Ogallala Sioux, is dead. The old brave fell a victim to the onward march of civiliza tion and lost his life because he was unaccustomed to the ways of the city. He was riding down town from the Exposition grouds in company with another member of his tribe about 55 o’clock. At Nineteenth and Cuming street the other Indian alighted from the car without letting the old man know it. As soon as Conquering Bear saw that his companion had left the car he stepped off and as the car was at full speed he was hurled in a heap on the stone pavement and never made a motion of life afterward. The ambulance was called from the exposition and the body removed. A physician did all in his power to re vive the Indian, but his efforts were in vin. There were no bad wounds on his person and no indication that his skull had been fractured. The doctor gave it as his opinion that he came to his death from a shock to his brain. His heart action was good, but he seemed unable to breathe. Fifteen minutes after he was brought to the hospital he was pronounced dead. “WELCOME HOME” IN EIRE. Fireworks and Illuminations in New York Harbor a Great Feature. NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—The ap pearance of New York harbor last night could be compared to a circle of intense light with the war ships off Tompkinsville as the hub from which the brilliancy radiated. The bay has never before had as brilliant or picturesque a display of continu ous illumination as that seen last night, nor has the interest manifested by the shore dwellers been more manifest. Beginning at the Brooklyn bridge, with its string of white electric lights punctuated at intervals with red ana green-colored arc signal lamps, the Immensely brilliant motto, “Welcome Dewey,” was suspended as it were in midair. Looking from the bridge toward the Jersey coast similar signs cold be distinctly read on the gate way of the railroads that are bringing thosands to swell the paen of wel come to the returning warrior. Further down the bay on the Brook lyn side was the same fiery “Wel come” and also on Staten island. At the portal to the city shone out in letters of the brightest light the same hearty greeting, “Welcome Home,” flanked by immense illuminated Ameri a flags that could be seen for miles. WOOD AND COMRADES DEAD. Report Readies Manilla of Fate of Cap tore (I Gunboat’s Crew* . MANILA, Sept. 29— It is reported from a person just arrived from Tur dac that Naval Cadet Wood, who was in charge of the gunboat recently captured and destroyed by the insur gents in the Orani river, on the north west side of Manila bay, where she was patrolling, and five of the enlisted men composing the crew were killed in the fight previous to the destructfon of the vessel. The four other men and the captured cannon, a one pounder, a rapid-fire gun, a Colt ma chine gun, and a Nordenfeldt 25 millimeter gun, were conveyed to Malac. HUNDREDS OE LIVES LOST.

CALCUTTA, Sept. 29.—Lieutenant Governor Sir John Woodburn an nounced to the council yesterday that 400 lives were lost through the floods at Darjeeling, capital of the district of that name, in addition to those ! drowned on the plains. ‘‘There is an industry in this coun- ' try,” Bays the Jasper (Kla.)
