THE LATEST NEWS FROM JOLO, Unwilling to Aoospl tho Tarrai Orareil by ttis Americans In Ccbn nnd Hollo the Natives are Iloitlto to tlis United States. Manila, Aug. 15. Tho correspond ent of tho Now York Herald lias just roturncd to Hollo after a trip to .lolo, Mindanao and Cobu. Goneral Itatos is still negotiating for a treaty with tho sultan of tho Sulu lslauds. Tho sultan Is as yet un willing to accept tho terms offered by tho Americans. Ho says that tho Spaniards misrepresented to tho world tho naturo of tho treaty ho in ado with thom and ho wishes to limit tho Amer icans to the occupation of the town of Jolo alone. Ho claims the Island of Slassa and the town as his own. Tho sultan seams not to havo tho support of his chiefs, many of whom oxpross friendly scntimonts toward tho Americans. Yokanino, tho most poworful chief in Sulu island, said in an intorviow that ho was willing to forco tho sultan to terms if ho refused tho American propositions. All tho chiefs complain of tho bad treatment tho sultan has given them. Tho Chinese population of Slassl, which was formerly held by tho Span iards, but was glyon ovor by them to tho sultan's mcn.'nro squoozed finan cially by a duty of 5 por cent on ex ports and Imports. Tho Chlnoso say it would be n most excellent thing if tho Americans wcro substituted for their present rulcri. Tho sultan's flag is now floating -ovor Slassl. Tho sultan recontly add ed eighty rifles and a largo store of ammunition to his previous stock of 300 rifles. War between tho control ling chlofs among tho Moros is moro probablo than is war with the Amer icans, provided wo do not lntcrfcro with their religion and customs. For tho first tlmo in history whlto pcoplo can travel about Sulu Island among tho Moros in snfety. Tho cor respondent crossed tho island without a guldo, through a wild country, to intorviow tho sultan at Malbun. IIo was rocelvcd with courtesy and given this signed statcmont: "This certifies that his highness tho sultan, Iladgi Mahamad Womolol Kl ram, is liko a brother to tho nation of Amoricann and wants to know if they are tho samo to him." General Hates has shown great skill in conciliating tho natlvo chlofs. Tho Moro chiefs of tho island of Mindanao do not acknowledge allcglanco to tho sultan of Sulu. Dato (chief) Mandl, of Mindanao, came to visit Goneral Bates in Jolo, to assuro him of his frlondllnoss toward tho Americans. On tho trip to Mindanao the corre spondent -found tho Moros friendly, but tho towns of Zamboanga and Morccdes aro held by tho insurgents. Thoy number SOU mon and aro armed with rifles, under their leader Alva rez, whe stated to the commander of tho Castino that ho desired to bo neu tral until tho difficulty with Aguln nldo in Luzon was settled. If tho lattor was beaten ho would surrender. In Cobu tho insurgents still hold their strong positions in tho moun tains. Tho majority of the popula tion do not want to fight, but aro hostile In spirit. A natlvo servant of an American officer was caught by tho insurgents and branded upon tho fore head with the word "traitor," In tho case of Hollo tho insurgents aro entrenched about tho nearby towns, Jaro and Molo. The rainy season prevents an active campaign, but considerable fighting may be ex pected in the fall. Tho rich natives havo not roturned to their homes. Tho island of Nogros is itlll un settled. General Hughes has sent ex tra troops to suppress the uprising. Tho richer class of natlvos aro gradu ally returning to tholr homes. MEADOWS KILLED THEM.

Laborl was laughing nnd chat ting with his companion when ho was shot Tho party was passing tho Qual Richmond and was about to cross tho Chataubrland bridge, when a man, hidden behind a wooden fence ut a corner of tho quil, stepped out and fired ut M. Laborl. The wounded man fell to tho ground. Ho tried to rlno aud put his hand to tho wound In hi back and brought tho hand back covored with blood. As ho lay there with his clothes covered with tho dust in which ho had fallen, ho said In a faint volco: "I beg you to glvo mo my Btlck and uir papers "Go and toll thom," ho added, with n final effort, "to suspend tho pro ceedings."

Accounts of tho shoot ing related by oyo-wltnesscs differ considerably, especially respecting the appearance of the would-bo-raur-derer.

Still moro incredible is tho fact that an in dividual who went to tho side of M. Laborl as ho lay wounded upon the ground is said to havo scarebed the pockets of tho suffering man upon tho pretext of ascertaining his identity and stolon tholr contents. His assailant fled after the shoot ing, holding his revolver in his hand, with his finger upon tho trlorcror, and threatened sovcral men who showed a disposition to block his way.

TESTIMONY IS SENSATIONAL. Ki-rrnsldAnt nnd Kx-Saoretary Conflict Again An Important l'olnt ICtplalned for Dreyfus Wouldn't l'ormlt Them itltiM to llellere Hint Innocent, Rknnks, France, Auj 15. Tho shooting of M. Labor), leading coun sol for Captain Alfred Droyfus, robbed tho morning session of tho Dreyfus court-martial of Its paramount Inter est. Tho murderer apparently chose to-day for tho attompt bec.auno It was anticipated that M. Laborl would crush General Mercler, tho o.x-mlnlstor of war, with his cross-questioning. When tho court-martial was ro sumed General Mercler wns confront ed with M. Caslralr-Perlor, tho ex president of Franco. IIo declared that Morclor'H story, told upon tho witness stand Saturday, of tho Immtnenco of war between Germany nuil Franco In ldlit w.is grossly exaggerated, and complained that Mercler, then minis ter of war, had moved 00.0J0 troops to tho frontier without consulting him. As It was M. Laborl's tusk to take General Merctor In hand nnd M. De mango, assoolato counsol, was quite unprepared for tho tusk, tho few questions tho latter put woro practi cally of littlo effect and Genoral Mer cler escaped cheaply. Moroovor, M. Demnngo was deeply affected by tho attompt to nssuHsluuto hU .colleague and was quite uuablo to do hlmsolf Justice. When court roassemblod at 7:20 o'clock, Genoral Mercler was recalled and roltcratod, In reply to tho presi dent of tho court, his bollof that Ma jor Count Estcrliazy, In pllo of tho latter's own declaration, was not tho nuthor of tho borborcau, which, tho witness claimed, was wrlttun on trac ing pnpor und was found In an em bassy. Tho Prcsidont asked M. Cnslinlr Pcrlor to explain tho circumstances of tlio confession Dreyfus is ullegod to havo made to Captain Lobrun Re nault. M. Cnslmlr-Porler porsistod In his statomont of Saturday, that ho had novor rccalvod any confidences of this character from Captain Lobrun Renault. Ho addod that M. Dupay, thon premier, was present whou Cap tain Lobrun Renault called at tho Elysco palaco. "Moreover," said M. Caslmlr-Porler, "hero Is a letter from M, Dupuy, which I ask may be road" --. Tho loltcr Blsfrtod ttiat Captald Lobrun Renault, whon quostlonod by M. Dupuy, ropllod that Genoral Mer cler had scut htm to tho presldont to recotvo a dressing down for his Indis creet disclosures in the Paris Figaro. Goodta! Merclot-..horelnterj?oadlt Haying; "Captain Lobrun Renault spoko to mo in regard to tho confessions in tha presence of Goneral Gouz, who will testify thereto. It was thon that I ordered him to go to tho president." Regarding Gonoral Morcler's declar ations Saturday on tho witness stand, M. Caslmlr-Perlor said: "General Mer clor had no right whatovor to intor vono in a diplomatic conversation. I would havo provontod auoh inter ference It was I alono who con ferred with the minister and I declare that the impressloa L derived from that conversation was ono of complete calm; otherwise tho Incident would not havo boon closed by the framing of a note. "We had a telegram from Berlin that evening. It was in regard to a note the minister referred to Berlin. If there had been any news in rogard to tho matter on tho evening of tho 0th we should not havo waited until tho 8th to publish the note. There was no dispatch addressed to a friend ly powor relative to the incident. Tho Incident has beon raagnlflod. Besides, in the event of diplomatic complica tions, tho President would have com municated with the mlnlstor of for eign affairs." General Marclor rap'.loi that lie wont to tho Elyseo palace as minister of war. Ho recalled that General do Bolsdeffro could testify in regard to this visit. M. Domange seized upon this declaration and insisted that Genoral Mercler repeat the statement that ho had given orders to Gonoral Bolsdeffro on tho oth relative to mo bilization. M. Cislralr-Parlor returns! his tes timony and said ho did not reply to certain of Genoral Morcler's insinua tions. "I do not wish to answer them," said the cx-presldont. "Tho circum stances aro too sad and too tragla for mo to doslrc to envenom tho discus sion. I am mastor of myself and of my conscience. I would only stato that Goneral Morolor has mado every effort to mix mo as doeply as possible in this affair. But 1 havo remalnod aloof, I affirm, during tho progress of tho investigation." M. Domango asked M. Caslmlr-Porler if, upon tho Oth un understanding had not been reached between Franco and Gormany upon the subject of Dreyfus. M. Caslmlr-Perlor replied that before his intorviow with the minister upon the Oth tho question of Dreyfus hai nover baen ralsod be tween thom and Germany. M. Deraango asked General Mercler why he had not tnoludnd in tho dos sier of loOl tho doubtful translation nt tha tnteirram of Affont "B" to his 'government under the date of Novom- ber 3. In roply Gonoral Mercler said not ono of tho translations of tho tele gram was communicated to tho judges, because there still existed doubts in his mind. M, Domange, Dreyfus' nttornoy, remarked that tho text was communicated to Sandhorr, in chnrgo of tho Fronch sccrot off! co ns olllclal, and thereafter doubts woro Impossible. Counsol next askod Genogal Merclor why tho explanations of tho sccrot dosslor wcro not Included in tho dossier relating to tho rovlslou. The gonoral ropllod that ho considered thoso explanations woro glvon for his porsonal use and that was why ho do stroyod tho documont. At this M. Domango oxprossod a senso of aston ishment and askod Genoral Morolor it ho did not havo roalons for suppress ing the document, Merclor repudi ated tho suggestion. Droyfua, nt this point, roio from his scat and asked loavo to explain In regard to tho assortlon that ho had tracoil on a card tho Honorary of a cortalu Journoy of tho genoral staff. Both tho ltauernry aud journoy, ho assorted, woro puroly fictitious. M. Caslmlr-Porler thou said ho do- sired to relternto that no nau novor promised anything to Droyfus, adding; that it wns with M. Waldeok-Rousseau alono that ho had spoken in ro gard to tho condomned man. There foro, M. Cnnimtr-Porter reiterated hi protests at tho letters of Droyfus ro ferrlng to nrgotlntlons. General lllltot, ex-mlntstor of war, was the noxt witness. M. Detnungo invited Gonoral Bttlot to explain tho stntomonts of M. Bot thou and M. Polncaro, tho formov ministers, that tha goneral was onoa no doubtful of tho guilt of Droyfus Mint ho did not sloop for novortu nights. Gonoral Billot aoknowlddged tho statements woro true. Anaworlng questions of tho counsel, tho general nuid Colonol l'lcquart'e rovolntlons produced doubts iu his mind, but, ho addod, all tho samo his convictions of tho guilt of Droyfus remained unchanged. Thoro was a groat sensation whon M. Dcmango mentioned tho opinion cxprcssod by M. Bnrthon that Gonoral Billot had beon forowarnod In rogard to tho forgery of Lloulonaut Colonel Henry. Tho general ncknowlodgod that tho Henry forgery was among tho factor arousing his doubts. Continuing, Gonoral Billot said hs was immonsoly surprised and dcoply nffectcd by tho revolution of the) forgery. IIo anld: "I novor could havo hollovod a sa porlor olllcer could bo guilty of forgory." M. Cavalgnac, ox-mlnlstor of war, wns tho noxt wltnoss called. Reply ing to tho prcsidont of tho court he said ho was tho first cabinet minister to assurao responsibility to Dreyfus, lie had closely followed tho Inquiry of tho court of causation and still he dcslrod to assoolato himself with the rcsponsibiUy'of thojjj whpj in MV protootod tho country and the arm against troaSoIiT (Sonsalfon.r """""'d M. Gavalgnao admitted tho posslblU ity of mistakes in human testimony and said they ought to be takon into account whon condemning a fellow man. But. ho assorted, ho was con- mont in tholr testimony. -if It was Impossible, according to M. A Cavalgnac, to credit that Estorhazy ! - was a traitor, oven admitting that the J uoruorcau was wruion uy mm. csier hazy, ho insisted, could only havo acted as tho Intermediary of an accomplice. Tho inquiry of tho court of oas aatton provod treauon was really committed and ho, M. Cavalgnac, had not basod his conviction of tho culpa billty of Droyfus sololy upon the handwriting of tho bordereau. In the aoret dossier, ho pointed out, there wore many olemonts for convlotio and he proposed to discuss all tho ale legations made by foreigners with thj view of exculpating Droyfus. For instance, ho sald.thero would be official denials which would leave plenty of room for tho truth to escape. Besides It was quite possible that the accused was guilty of treason without having had direct relations with the agent of ft foreign gov ernment and a certain ambassador had admitted that his military at tache had spied under the Immunity granted to diplomats. M. Caytgnae also found his belief strengthened by the contradictory statements ol the foreign diplomatists that Dreyfus was well known at various chan cellories. Colonel Jouaust then told Dreyfus to rise and asked him If he had any remarks to make upon the evidence. The prisoner, who during M. Cav iagnao's arraignment of him, had seemed nervous and agitated, replied in a low voice: "I am astounded that the man who produced in the tribunal of the ohaav ber the Henry forgery can come here and base bis convictions of my culoa blllty on, matters which the court of cassation has already a disposed of." (Sensation.) General Chanolno, former minister of war, and M. Hanotaux, former minister of forotgn affairs, also testi fied, Tholr ovldonco was direotsd against Dreyfus, but contained little that is now.
