May 28.—Scouting, small engagements and the capture of arms and prisoners, continue daily in north ern Luzon. Last wee k's operations by the Ninth, Twelfth. Thirty-third, Thirty-fourth and Thirty-sixth regiments resulted in the killing c.f forty-six of the enemy, the taking of lSu prisoners and the capture of U*0 rifles and a quantity of ammunition. Colonel Edward E.

The insurgent commander with twenty officers and 230 men. surrend ered on May 26, giving up 100 rifies. The impressive scene occurred on the plaza, when the prisoners were dis armed and liberated. The islanders were found sutlerir.g from lack of food, owing to the bloc kade, and the Amer ican authorities ate endeavoring to jelieve them. Peace reigns and no trouble is ex pec ted in Manila, although the city is crowded with people from the prov ince- and were leaving the unprotect ed hamlets in order to avoid the con >cr:p*iin which the insurgent leaders are enforcing as well as robbery at the hands cf the roving insurgents and bandits. The investigation of the charge against Brigadier General Frederick Kur.st- n. of having summarily shot two r..'iv in the p evince of Zam beies. has resulted in a discontinuance of the proceedings, it developed the fa»t that General Funston ccught the natives In the act of murdering bound l!accab*be scouts, his action in view of the circumstances being regarded as justifiable. rORtlOV IROOPS MIST UND. of I.*-gatU>u« DciiimkU Their I'rt,cuie m I’ekm.

Inasmuch as the wrecking expedition sent out shortly after the Charleston was wrecked faile dto find anything of the vessel, the theory is ' advanced that the natlvFes contrived to cut off the masts of the cruiser lie low the point submerged, thereby hid ing the hull from the government and saving the work of salvage for their own time.

May 28— House leaders are figuring that the senate will agree to the house resolution to adjourn Wednesday, June 6, so that much business will be crowded into i the coming week. Individual mem 1 tiers with belated bills are pressing 1 for recognition and will be given some j show. Conference reports ou appro priation bills will have the right of way. There are half a dozen meas ures of public importance pressing including the oleomargarine bill, the anti-canteen bill, the St. Louis fair bill, the Philadelphia museum bill and the anti-trust measures, but the indi • cations are that none of them save the anti-trust bill and resolution will be considered. Friday and Saturday are ! to be devoted to their consideration Tinder special rules. The friends cf the others, however, are active, ag gressive and insistent, and some of them may be successful. But the pro gram cf the leaders does not go much beyond driving through the appropri ation bills, the passage of the anti trust legislation and the cleaning up of a few odds and ends. The time of the senate during the present weeek will be divided largely between the discussion of the Philip pine question and the consideration of the appropriation bills, with a diver sion about the middle of the week in the Clark case. Senator Wellington will speak Mon day on the Boer resolution and he will be followed that day or the day following by Senator Teller on the Philippine question. Speeches on the Philippine question also will be made by Senators Pettigrew and Turner and probably by other senators. There is 1 apparently no probability of the Phil ippine bill passing, but there is a gen I eral desire on the part of the opposi tion to reply to Senator Spooner's speech before the dcse cf the present session. I The sundrv civil appropriation bill probably will he considered for two or three days more and by the time that is disposed of the general de ficiency bill will lie ready for consid eration. Neither the deficiency nor the military academy bills, the onlv j two appropriation bills undisposed of. except the sundry civil bill, is ex pected to consume any considerable i amount of time. The senate will make an effort to •meet the plans of the house in the matter of final adjournment on June but there is a general apprehension among senators that the date may be jostnoned TintiI tlie Pth or 11th. In addition to the appropriation bills still Tindisposed of bv the senate, there are still several appropriation bills in con I ferenoe and a disposition is manifest ! ed on The part of senators not to name the date of adjournment until these are well out of the way. It is generallv believed that the Mon tana senatorial contest will he dis posed of when it is brought up by referring it t'* the committee on priv ileges and elections and that then i nothing more will be heard of it dur inr the present session. The commit tee resolution declaring that Senator Clark's orieinal election was not legal also bids fair to remain cn the Cal endar. ROBTOTS ACROSS THE VAAl.

Three hundred Ashantis are said to have been killed in a previous action. The rising is still spreading. CHINA m\ NOTICE United States Government Tells It What Must Ee Done. WILL HAVE TO SUPPRESS BOXERS Till* Country Taken a Hand In the Grave Situation There—Harm Shall Not Come to Americano — Action in on Parallel Lines With Ail the European Powers WASHINGTON. May 26.—The United States government has taken a hand in the suppression of the "Boxers" in China. Minister Conger has been instructed by the state department to inform the Chinese government that the govern ment of the United States expects it to stamp out promptly and thoroughly this society and to provide proper guarantees for the maintenance of peace and order and the protection of the life and property of Americans in China, all now threatened by the oper ation of this anti-Christian organiza tion. There is no indication in the instruc tions as to the course that would be pursued by the United States govern ment in case the Chinese refuse to fol low the warning. Minister Conger is acting on parallel lines with the rep resentatives of every European power at the Chinese court, but has not joined in any concert of action. It is realized here that the Chinese government in dealing with the "Box ers" will encounter much difficulty, as the society claims to be purely patri otic. Its contention is that the teach ings of the Christians are in their re sults absolutely destructive of the Chi nese system of government. The "Boxers" now are not attacking foreign missionaries, but are killing the Chi nese who allow themselves to be con verted to Christianity. This phase cf the matter is difficult to deal with, as it heretofore has been a well recognized right of a nation to deal with its own subjects at its pleas ure. This rule does not contemplate excesses such as are ascribed to the "Boxers.” and there is believed to be reasonable ground for foreign interven tion. which would include the partici pation of United States war ships, should this be necessary. Conger's latest advices indicate that this troublesome society is waxing strong in the very heart of Pekin, and it was evident from the tone of his dispatch that a crisis was approach ing which would either cause drastic action by the Chinese government or a hostile demonstration by the powers in the near future. PEQIN. May 25.— (via Shanghai. May 26.)—A force of Chinese cavalry that was attacked by the "Boxers” lost a colonel and seventy men killed and wounded. Li Hung Chang has been confirmed in the viceroyalty in Canton. Tan Chun Lin, the former viceroy, has been ordered to remain in Pekin to await employment. Talmas:*- on tin* Trouble. LONDON.

May 26.—The fol lowing statement was Issued today by the Boer envoys, who are at present in this city: “Messrs. Fischer, Wessels and Wol marans, who are representing the South African republics in this coun try, have received many pressing invi tations from most of the large cities of the United States to visit them, but : owing to the short time they have to spend in this country it will not be possible to accept all of the invitations I received. It is their intention to ie , turn as soon as circumstances permit ; to their own country, staying in Europe I sufficient time to carry out their in | structions, but before leaving they ! have concluded to yield to the great 1 demand on the part ot me American I people to spend a few more days in America and they have concluded first of all to visit Baltimore, Philadelphia, Providence and Boston during the next week. After visiting these cities they are in hopes of being able to spare the time to extend their visit to sev eral cities in the middle states, timely notification of which will be given with invitations. The common councils and mayors of a number of cities are urging them by resolutions to make them a visit and it may ne possible that their stay in this coun try may be prolonged a few days to meet their wishes. The envoys regret exceedingly that they cannot meet the great number of people who are so anxious to greet them, iss they would like to do. They express themselves as very grateful for the many expres sions of sympathy heard on all sides of the cause that is se> dear to them and they trust that the fact that they j cannot visit all who wish them to do | so will in no way interfere with the i full and free expression of sympathy I and good will on their part.” KENTUCKY REWARD COMMISSION. Says Money >!:<* Not Been Squandered on Election Ouestion. FRAN FORT, May 26.—The Goebel reward commission adjourned today. The commissioners say nothing was done except to pay a few minor bills.

He denied all knowledge whether any in dictment has been returned against Former Governor Taylor. Notwithstanding the state executive committee has issued a call for a con vention to nominate a endidate for governor, the democratic leaders, and lawyers generally, are divided in opin ion as to whether an election this fall is required under the present consti tution.
