MANILA. May 14.—The latest rumor of an outbreak in Manila among the natives, which was in circulation last week, mas seriously discussed by some of the local papers and attracted more general attention than has usually been the case with this sort of thing. As a matter of fact many Filipinos did leave their American employers w'ith the apparent intention of joining some such move. Their action, taken in connection with the arrest of several natives for tarrying concealed weapons and the dispersion of several suspicious gatherings, gave color to the reports. Officials have been active in the mat ter. but are not inclined to think an uprising will be attempted. They be lieve the Filipinos lack the necessary courage, especially in view of the fact that the natives feared to attempt the demonstration at the time 01 General Lawton's funeral, aihough tuey had made careful preparations and many insurgents had come to Manila for this purpose. A paper found among the effects of General Pantealeon Garcia asserts that the Foiled States congress has done nothing for the Filipinos and there fore ail Filipinos mho are working for Americans must leave their employers at once or suffer the penalty. One re port is that the Filipino junta is en deavoring to incite an outbreak in or der to show the civil commission that the insurrection is still alive. It does not se<*m possible that the peace proposals Senor Buenoamino has drawn for submission to Aguinaldo an i the other insurgent leaders will have much weight with the Filipinos, liuencamino's reputation, gained in former mars, is that of a man mho hurries to get on the m-inning side. He was In disfavor with the Filipinos, even before the collapse of their gov ernment. oming to a widespread sus pi< ion of disloyalty to his colleagues. l.Ast week General MacArthur re ceived a large number of officials, con suls and representatives of commercial bodies. To lieutenant Colonel Crom der. his military secretary, he will as sign many duties heretofore devolving on the adjutant general. This action is taken in view of the increasing im- , Iterance of the governor-general's po sition. General MacArthur will give to his staff authority in matters of de- j tail and will devote himself largely to questions of policy. The towns cf llolongus and Maalin on the island of Leyte hare been occu pied by troops of the Forty-third vol unteer infantry. The insurgents op posed the landing of the Americans and sustained heavy losses. The Amer icans suffered three casualties. CONGRESS NEARING AN END * Hum* ttrsd? to Adjnaro .lane 1, Senate ttajr t outiiinr Longer WASHINGTON. May 14 —The house this week will send to the senate the last cf the general supply bills—the general deficiency and the military academy appropriation hills—and will be ready for adjournment ".s soon as the senate passes them and adjusts the differences ta-tw*-ei the two branches upon those alrealv passed or pending in conference. These conference reports on appropriation hills are ti be given the right of way from now until the end of the session. The house leaders aay they will be ready for the sine die adjournment June 1. hut allowing for delay* and accidents incident to the clotting up of the session, they are not inclined to think both houses will be ready to quit before June 10. Later on if complications arise in the senate the bouse may emphasize its readiness to adjourn by adjourning over from day to day. while the senate is in the final throes of dissolution. The general deficiency b.ll will be taken up today and it will he followed by the military academy hill. It is understood the senate army reorgan ization hill may be taken up on Wed ne»day.

T u rk ia l> Writer (irow* ltold In Facing t'nclc Samuel. IX3NDON. May 14.—The Times pub lishes this morning a letter from its Ode*** torrespondent. dated May 6. in which be comments upon the sus pi- ion and jealousy with which official circles in Russia are watching the pro gre>-> of the Turko-American dispute. He quotes at ereat length from an im portant article sanctioned by the Turk ish censor, that has appeared in the Odessky Llstok, which declares that "the Imperial policy of the United Spates prompted by the necessity of finding new outlets for trade.” Tuimage Speak, at Edinburgh. EDINBURGH. May 14.—Eynod hall, which has a capacity of 6.000, was crowded today by an assembly to hear Rer. Dr. DeVVStt Talmage.

May 14.—The steamer Amur nas arrived from Skag wsy. She brings news that the Yukon liver opened at Dawson May 8, and steamers are now running regularly from l>eharge through. Preparations are being made by several of the small owners outside of the combina tion to carry passengers from Bennett to Nome at $75 and the Skagway Alas kan announces that the Klondike cor poration. limited, the Glora, Nora and Dora, will adopt the low rate and give battle to the White Pass and C.

LONDON, May 14.—The Lourenzo Marquez correspondent of the Times, ‘elegraphing Sunday, says: "It is rumored that the Transvaal raad, in secret session, has resolved to order all residents, irrespective of ; nationality, to assist in the defense ol ■ tbe republic in accordance with the terms of the revised military law. “The Boers now recognize that they are in the last extremity and all sorts and condition* of men have been com mandeered. The merchants have pro tested against the stoppage of a cen ; signment of clothing and corned beef although the latter was purchased in America. United States Consul Stan ley Hollis, who sympathies are notor ious, is said to have remonstrated against what he called interference with American trade.’ ’•’ “The war is practically over,’’ says the Daily Chronicle's Kroonstad cor respondent, and in less definite terms this is the view to be gathered from an the correspondents. They picture the Boers as utterly demoralized and disheartened by Lord Roberts’ unexpectedly rapid advance and by his facile turning of the care fully prepared positions of the Boers. There was practically no fighting and there are no further details to give respecting the occupation of Kroonstad. The correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says the union Jack was hoisted in the market place by Mrs. IvOckbead, the American wife of a Scotchman. Most of the horses of the Boers are in a wretched condition, but President Kruger declares he will continue the war. It appears that the Boers at Kroon stad had been reinforced by 3.000 men from natal last Friday, and that alto gether 3.000 with a number of guns trekked from Kroonsstad on the ap proach of Lord Roberts. The Boers made an ineffectual stand at Bisch rand and had elaborate entrenchments in front of Kroonstad, which offered great facilities for a rear guard action. Their only anxiety, however, appears to have been to get away safely with all their guns and convoys, which again they have successfully accom plished. The few stores they were unable to carry away they burned. SAYS II S AU A MISTAKE. Alleged Krabezrler Neeley Maintains Air of Innocence. MUXCIE. Ind., May 14.—C. F. W.

Godaard, wholesale grocer, and for several years was a traveling salesman and also was secretary of the Indiana Traveling Men’s Protective association. Rich has always been an intimate friend of Neeley’s, and secured his ap pointment in the Cuban postal depart ment through Neeley. They were ex tensively asociated together in busi ness enterprises.

The Three Thousand British Column Due There in a Few Days. NOW ONE HUNDRED MILES AWAY General Hunter's Main Body is Fifty Miles South of There—Roberts Sweep ing on to Kroonatad—At Last Accounts He Was Twenty Miles From Boer Stronghold. LONDON, May 12—A British col umn, 3,000 strong, has arrived at Vry burg. 100 miles from Mafeking. It reached there Thursday, and, though harrassed by the Boers, is pushing swiftly forward. Fifty miles south of Vryburg, at Laungs, is General Hun ter’s main body, moving slowly and contending with considerable forces. The pick of his mounted men are the 3,000 who are going without wheeled transportation and at a rate that may possibly bring them to Mafeking on Monday or Tuesday. Lord Roberts' narrative closes with Thursday evening, but he continued his march yesterday toward Kronstaad, twenty miles distant, and. by this time, he must know whether the Boers in tend to fight there. Winston Churchill says there were only 2,000 Boers who opposed the Brit ish at Zand river. Another report is that 6,000 Boers with six guns made a rear guard action, while many of their thousands with convoys retired without firing a shot. President Stevn and a counsel of the leaders of several thousand Free Stat ers in the Ladvbrand and Fricksburg district determined to submit to the men the question of continuing the war or not at a great open air meeting. The fighting men decided to fight on. Steyn. who appears to be in active command, began to advance toward the British and came into contact on Thursday with Campbell’s brigade and Brabant’s horse twenty miles north cast of Thaba N’chu. A smart engage ment ensued with no positive success on either side, except that the Boer ad vance was stopped. General Rundle has disposed 10.000 infantry along a twenty mile front in such a way as to bar a Boer advance toward Lord Roberts’ communications. With the exception of General Bra bant’s colonials, General Rundle has no horsemen. The cavalry are all with Lord Roberts’ advance. According to a Pretoria telegram. General Buller is moving from Elands laagte in the direction of Helpmaakar ' and the British vanguard engaged v, Boer patrol of Italians on Thursday. Twelve Italians are reported as routing fifty Rritssh. The dispatch also says that British reconnoitering parties have invaded the Transvaal near Fourteen Streams and that the scouts on both sides meet frequently with varying results. Lord Roberts telegraphs to the war office from Riet spruit, under date of j May 10. evening, as follows: “We have had a successful day and have driven the enemy from point to point. French, with Porter’s and Dix on's brigades of cavalry and Hutton’s mounted infantry, crossed the Zand at Vermenten’s kraal and then worked around in a northeasterly direction to Maatschaphy, being opposed continu ously by the enemy. Pole-Carew's di vision and Gordon’s cavalry brigade, augmented by Battery .1 of the Royal Horse artillery and by Henry’s and Ross' mounted infantry, crossed the river by a drift near the railway bridge. My quarters accompanied this force. With the infantry portion we are eight miles north of the river. The cavalry and mounted infantry are at Ventersburg road station and Tucker’s division is at Deelfontein Nord. Ian Hamilton's force and Broadwood's cav alry brigade were making for the cross roads near Ventersburg when I last heard from them. Hamilton’s column met with stubborn resistance for some hours in protecting the rear flank of his force. JCffRIES BY \ BLOW Champion Knocks Corbett Our In Twen ty-Third Round. SEASIDE CLUB, May 12.—Jim Jef fries is still the heavyweight cham pion pugilist of the world. He de feated Jim Corbett in the twenty-third round of their fight with a knockout. The finishing blow’ came as a sud den and startling surprise. Corbett had been making a wonderful battle. His defense was absolutely perfect, and while he was lacking in strength* he had more titan held his own and stood an excellent chance of winning the fight had it gone tne limit. He had not been badly punished and had managed to mark his man severely. The winning punch was a short left jolt to the jaw. Corbett dropped like a weight and was clear out. Jeffries showed his ability to take punching at any distance and hard. He was clearly outboxed and at times made i to look like a novice. The crowd, j which numbered fully 8.000, was with Corbett, and his defeat fell upon a si lent crowd. Pension for Gen. Henry's Widow. WASHINGTON. May 12.—The house today broke all records, passing 180 private pension bills. Among them was the senate bill to pension the wid ow' of the late General Guy V. Henry at the rate of $100 per month. This amount was reduced by the house to $50. Martial Law la Proclaimed. MADRID, May 12.—Martial law has been proclaimed in the provinces of Barcelona and Valenoia. At Seville, where the shops are still closed, the excitement continues. Cold l>*Atroys Fruit in New York CATSKILL N Y.. May 12.—The temperature last night fell to 26 de grees above zeio.' In consequence the fruit and berry crops in this vicinity, which a week ago never appeared more promising, have been destroyed. The loss in this immediale section is esti mated at $500,000. Headqnnrter* at Omaha. LINCOLN. May 12.—Omaha is to have the republican state headquarters. The state central committee in session at Lincoln sc decided last night by a vote of 15% to 14%. The selection of Omaha as the loca tion of the state headquarters was made without discussion. All of the appointments recommended by the can didates were ratified with the excep tion of Luther Drake for treasurer. Mr. Drake declined to serve and L. D. Rich ards of Fremont, was selected in his place. Frank H. Young of Broken Bow was elected vice chairman and J. T. Mallalieu of Kearney, secretary. TOWNE WILLING TO ACCEPT. Did Not Seek Nomination, bat Will Ran If Endorsed by Democrats. CHICAGO, May 12.—Charles A. Towne was seen at the Auditorium An- | nex last night when about to take a train for Duluth, his home. When asked for an expression of opinon re garding the action of the convention, he said: “I can only say what I have always said in this connection, that I have not sought the office and made no efforts to secure the nomination, but if the populists and the other three parties think I am the most available i man I will accept. I had wished all along that the Sioux Falls convention should name a committee to meet com mittees of the other parties at Kansas | City, out it looks as though my friends at Sioux Falls did not consider that the best course.” "If there is a modification of the Chi cago financial plank at Kansas City on the silver question, would you accept the vice presidential nomination?” “I certainly would not if it approach ed in the remotest degree to a back down from the plank of 1896. But there will be no backdown; the Chi cago plank will be reaffirmed.” Charles A. Towne was born in Ing ham county, Michigan, near the city of Lansing, forty-one years ago last Oc tober. His parents were in comfort able circumstances and young Towne, after a common school education, was sent to Ann Arbor university, where he graduated in the academic and law courses. After receiving his sheepskin Mr. Towne went to Marquette, Mich., where he opened a law office and prac ticed his profession for three years. He then moved to Chicago, where he struggled to establish a practice for several months, but gave it up and came to Duluth in the spring of 1890. He has always taken an active part in politics and until the free silver agi tation in 1S96 was a republican. In 1S92 he stumped considerably for the republican ticket through the northwest, and his remarkable elo quence soon brought him to the front. At the next republican convention for the Duluth district Mr. Towne was en thusiastically nominated for congress and was elected with an overwhelming majority. He seemeed destined to be one of the foremost republicans in the west until in the early summer of 1896 he declared himself in favor of free sil ver. In the fall he was nominated by the democrats and populists as their candidate for congress, although hold ing his seat in that bodv as a repub lican. He was defeated by Page Mor ris by nearly 2,000 votes, in the fall of 1898 he was again nominated by the fusionists for congress and was once more defeated by Morris by a plu -ality of 1.000 votes, although he carried Du luth, the home town of both candi- | dates, by 1.343. In the summer of 1S9S hs was chosen chairman of the na tional silver republicans. BUTLER IS CHAIRMAN Re-Elected by the l’opnlist National Committee at Sionx Falls. SIOUX FALLS. S. D..

ISLANDERS ARE EINFRIENDLY. Natives of Xasbere Do Not Fancy the In vasion by Colonel Hardin. MANILA, May 12.—The islanders of Masbere received Colonel Hardin's expedition differently from those of Marinduque, when he l|'t one com pany of the Twenty-ninth regiment. On approaching the principal town, Palanco, the insurgent trenches ap peared io be occupied and the gunboat Helena bombarded them vigorously, after which three companies were landed and took the trenches with lit tle resistance.

Towne today made the following state ment with reference to his nomina tion for the vice presidency by the Sioux Falls convention. “It was ray judgment that the Sioux Falls convention should appoint a con ference committee to meet with similar committees from the democratic and silver republican conventions at Kan sas City on July 4 for the purpose of jointly considering the vice presiden tial nomination. This opinion was freely communicated to prominent men of the convention, both before it as sembled and while it was in session. In the exercise of its discretion, how ever, it decided differently. When tne conclusion was reached to nominate a candidate the unanimity and enthusi asm with which the convention named me is of course exceedingly gratifying. It must be remembered that many of the strongest men in the country were members of the convention, which was composed of the wise and conservative majority of the people’s party, whose devotion to the great cause in which all the reform forces are enlisted no body can question. “The endorsement of such a body is a high compliment and I deeply appre ciate it. Moreover, it sets an exam ple of unselfishness at this juncture that ought not to be without good in fluence. Neither Mr. Bryan nor myself belong to the populist party. To be sure, such a consideration may seem unimportant when men are engaged in a great contest against the same evil tendencies in the government; but mere names are still somewhat power ful in influencing political conduct and we must render all praise to the con vention which thought only of the principles at stake. “Harmony and cc-operation are es sential this year among the demo cratic. the people's and the silver re publican parties. To preserve their combined strength of 1896 is the first consideiation. The next is to go into the camp of those who then opposed us and get recruits. If the nominations at Sioux Falls are placed before the country with all reform parties behind them, they will, in my opinion, be rati- j fied by the people of the republic.in November.” Lorlmrr Will Run Again CHICAGO, May 12.—Republicans of the second congressional district today renominated William Lorrimer for congress. States Attorney Charles S. Deneen and Congressman Ixirrimer were chosen delegates to the national convention and D. W. Ball and E. Ray mond Bliss, alternates. MrOfe tleta Twenty Year*. PORTSMOUTH.
