Washington, Sept. 15. The postmaster-general has received from F. W. Vaille, director-general of posts in the Philippines, copies of two undated proclamations, one by the American commissioners and the other by the in surgents. The American proclama tion is of a pacific charaoter. but warns the natives that they have nothing to expect Irom continuing opposition to the Ameri cans. It promisee free transportation home to all insurgents who surrender their arms, and directs the confiscation of all money and hemp belonging to the insurgent government. The na tivea are notified that the Amerioan soldiers are expected to par for every thing they obtain from the Filipinos in the way of food and supplies, and it requests the natives to report any case of looting or extortion to the nearest military commander.

As the time ap proaches for the volunteers to leave these islauda and return to the United States, in order that all may be mus tered out there by J one 80 next year, the question of how to replace the de parting troops has brought the matter of an armed native militia to general notice. For more than a year there has been la the service of the United States a detachment of native Macsbelie scouts, and their work lias in the main been satisfactory. It is argued that other native righting organizations can be nsed with as good a result as the Maca- bebes, especially if the authorities take advantage of existing tribal hatreds and jealousies in selecting native sol diery to operate against the Taguls. In many of the village garrisons throughout the islands, native inhabit ants are being employed as a local po lice force to protect their own villages againat depredation anil attack from robbers and other malefactors. These local police are in some cases given firearms and uniforms, and they have at times done effective work iu the limited field of action allowed them, namely the protection ot their homes. They have also been used in operations against the insurgents, both in Luzon and in the Southern islands. In Leyte they did good work two months ago when they helped eight American sol diers repel a fiersistent insurgent attack upon their town, and two weeks ago, near Lipa, 20 native policemen went out alone against 40 insurgents, scat tered the enemy, killing one. and re turned proudly to their town with two of their number wounded. These are the beginnings of what muat eventually come to pass in the Philippines, namely the organization and use of native soldiers to preserve order in the counrty. Just how these men will be organized and officered is not yet decided; but Major Allen, of the Forty-third regiment, on Samar island, has lately been given permis sion by General MaeArthor to organize two companies oj Visayaus for use against the insurgents, and Colonel Keunon, of the Thirty-fifth regiment, now stationed in Cabanatuau in the Nueva Ecja, province of Luzon, has been experimenting along tbe same lines with Ilocanos from the northern portion of Luzon inland. In Decern Der of last year, about 600 Ilocanoa came to' Colonel Kennon, at Cabanutuan, and asked to enlist under the American flag. Colonel Kennon at once opened negotiations with the corps headquarters in Manila in the matter, and June 1 he was granted per mission to enlist 60 Ilocanos as scouts. During this intrim of six mouths the 600 men were employe! as far as pos sible as road builders, ration carriers and guides. The success of this first detachment in the service will ptoba bly soon lead to the enlisutment of other Ilocanos tribesmen. THE WRECKED CITY. Galveston Slowly Keeoverlng From the Terrible It low. Galveston, Sept. 17. More than 2,000 dead bodies have been identified and the estimate of Mayor Jones that 5.000 souls perished in Saturday's hur ricane does not appear to be magni fied. The city is being patrolled by troops and a semblance of order is ap pealing. Though the city appears pitilessly desolate, the authorities of the com mercial aud industrial interests are setting their forces to work, and a start has at least been made toward the re sumption of business on a moderate scale. ' The presence of troops has bad a beneficial effect upon the criminal classes, and the fear of a brief, but desperate, reign of anarchy now no longer exists. Tbe saloons have at least temporarily gone out of business, and every strong-limbed man who has not his owt abode to look after is be ing pressed into service, so that first oi all the water servioe may be re sumed, the gutters flushed and the streets lighted. The further the ruins are dug iuto the greater beoomes the increase in the list of those who perished as their houses tumbled about their heads. On the lower beach yesterday a searching party fouud a score of corpses within, Biuall area, goiug to show that the bul wark of debris that lies straight across the island conceals many more oodles than have been accounted for. - Fire at Port Huron. Tort Huron, Mich., Sept. 17. Fire at noon today destroyed the entire plants owned by the MoMorran Mill ing Company, the Port Huron & Northwestern Elevator Company and D. McMorran & Company.

Eight hundred butchers employed in the packing houeea of the Jacob Dold Pack ing Company aud Kliuck's and Dana bay, packing houses are on a Btrike, owing to the refusal ol the Dolds to discharge two men who refused to pay their dues to their uuiou. Duld claims to have 150 men at work today. . Chtne Funds Confiscated. Pekin, Sept. 17. Tho Kusso-Chincaa bank, which, as announced yesterday, dosed hero today, and removes to Shanghai, will oonfisoato, as part of the indemnity to be paid to KuseiR, the imperial universitr fund of 6,000,000 taels deposited with it, against which the Chinese drew for the paysuent ot their troops. Pittsbutg, Sept. 17. The Carnegie Steel Co. has given $10,000 to the Gal veston relief fund. FIVE THOUSAND DEAD The Galveston Victims "Will Reach That Number. BODIES STILL STREW THE BEACH If and rede Rurnod and Burlod at 8e Ihlrty-fliro Hundred Borufro Ar at Houatoa. Houston, Tex., Sept. 17. The Post today prints a list of 2,701 names of the Galveton dead, compiled Irom var ioua sources, but believed to be authen tic. There were hundreds of bodies burned and buried in the sea and in the sand, wheie no identification was possible. Other hundreds were buried on the beach of the mainland, few of whom have been identified. Some bodies are still in the ruins ot Galves ton and scattered along tbe beach of tbe mainland and in tbe marabes, where they were thrown by tbe water. Some of these bodies have been sent 20 miles inland along small water courses by tbe rush of high wstera. Taking all things into consideration there seems no longer any doubt that the number of dead will reach beyond the estimate of 5,000 which baa been made by Mayor Jones and other reliable citi zens of Galveston. About 1,800 refugees arrived here from Galveston last nght and are being cared for as well as possible. Four buildings have been set apart for tbe benefit of rufgees, but of the 8,500 who have reached here so far not more than 800 remain public charge, the re mainder having gone to tbe homes ot relatives and friends. . Agents of several insurance compan ies are passing through to Galvetton. They say tbat there is certain to be much confusion. They do not know what action will be taken by the com panies concerning tbe payment of claims without proof of death, which, in many cases, will be imossible. Contributions of money continue to come in, as do supplies of all sorts. E. D. Dorchester, manager of the Velasco Terminal railroad has reached this city. He says three-fourths of the Velasco people lost tbeir homes and four persons were drowned. Eight bodies were washed ashore at Suif Side, supposed to be from Galveston. INTENTIONS OF KRUGER. It Is Said He Will Bet Up His eortra- . ' uieut In Mosambloiue. Ne York, Sept. 17. A dispatch to tbe Tribune from London says: The Mail's correspondent in Lonren co Marques learns that Mr. Kruger has resigned the presidency of the Trans vaal, but remains a member of the ex ecutive. General Botha is said to have been so incensed at the cowardly con duct of his forces that be has resigned the supreme command, and Viljoen is now comuiandant-ueneral. Aocording to a Lisbon message to the Express, Mr. Kruger proposes to set up the seat of his government at Mozambique. Kews from tbe seat of war in South Africa is indecisive, but it is clear tbat Lord Iioberta is making a concentrated movement upon Komatipoort, and has left Pretoira in order to direct it per sonally. Ian Hamilton is returning to the railway from Lydenburg; Pole Carew is pushing east towards Nel spruit'; French is making for Barberton, and Buller has divided both his forces and cut off a portion of them from communication with the commandos between Nelspruit and Komatipoort. Lydenburg apprently was abandoned as soon sb it was captured, and the Brit ish forces are in hot pursuit of the rem nant of the Boer army, and driving it eastward to the Portuguese frontier. These tactics are bold, bet in accord ance with Lord Roberts' strategy Binoe February. Komatipoort is the new objective point, and when it is captured Lord Roberts will be oiedited with having ' taken possession of the lsst Dutch railway line and closed the door into neutral territory. Tbe work of pacification will not have been thoroughly worked out, but the main object will have been secured, as was done when Blomefontein and Pretoria were occupied., Mew Law Creates a Mob. Brooklyn, N. Y., Sept. 14. When the new law adopted by the last legis lature preventing the uae of trading stamps went iuto effect the first of this month, Manager Buntty, of the trad ing stamp store, 1329 Fulton, issued a circular announcing that he would cease operations today. Since the is suance of the circular thousands ot women who held trading stamps issued by the various stores doing business with Buntty have besieged him and made bis life unbearable. He has been compelled to barricade himself and . seek aid to prevent summary aotion on the part of tbe infuriated women. i : Aduilrel Sleerd Deed. Rome, N. Y., Sept. 17. Eear-.Vd-inirul Montgomery Sicard died of apo plexy at A. M. today, at his summer home at Wetternville. Our desires often loom up so large that we fail to see our mercies behind them.

Montana Miners Killed. Butte, Mont., Sept. 17. Thomas Kelley aud James Murray were killed in tbe Stowart mine this morning by an explosion of powder in tbe magaziue ou one of the lower levels. pan'a Attitude Toward China. The racial differences that exist be tween Japan and China have probably led some obaervera to believe that the two peoples are naturally antipathetic. The war of 1894 4ias been cited as proof of this, and in tbe present criais in the Far East it appears to be taken lor granted by many that the Japaneae people will regard China's misfortune as their opportunity. That there is no valid reason for thinking that this Is Japan's attitude, and that thoae who are moat prominent in guiding Japan's publio policy sincerely desire to estab liah and foster friendly feelings with China, is ably shown by Durham White Stevens, Esq., counsellor of the Japanese legation, in his article, "Ja pan's Attitude Toward China," which appears in tbe current issue ot Collier's Weekly.

The gneat majority of moonshiners are to be found in the mountain fast ness of Georgia, Alabama and Tennes see, and here they live in conditions of civilization as crude as tbeir ances tors, most ot whom were English fugi tives from justice who reached this country more than a century ago. In deed, in many respects tbese descend ants have retrograded rather than ad vanced.

Suppress Theli Tbe report of tbe senate committee on manufactures upon the subject oi food adulterations and food fiauds has created a sensation in congress and awakened great interest throughout tbe country. If there could be published a list of the names of all articles of food found by the committee to be adulterated or made from injurious ingredients, it would be of inestimable valne to the public. Tbe recommendations of the commit tee that the sale of alum baking pow ders be prohibited by law, will make of special interest the following list of names of baking powders which chem ists have found to contain alum: Baking- Powders Containing: Alum: K. C Contains Alum Manr. by Jaqun Mfg. Co., Chicago. CALUMET Contains Alum Manr. by Calumet Baking Powder Co., Cbicago.

DEFIANCE Contains Alum Manf. by Portland Coffee A Spice Co.. Portland. PORTLAND. Contains Alum Mant by Beoo A Ballis, Portland. It is unfortuLte that many manu facturers of alum baking powders stati that their powders do not contain alum. It ia only right that consumers should have oorreot information as to the character of every article of food offered to them. Superstition In Yucatan. "Apropos of the wonderful ancient ruins in Yucatan," said a New Orleans college professor, "there is one very fortunate circumstance which has pro tectea them almost entirely from spoli ation by the Indians. It is currently believed by the natives all through that part ot the country that tbe ruins are haunted and that devils will carry away anybody who attempts to molest them. This superstition has been en couraged by explorers, and is a better safeguard than a picket of soldiers."

SOLDIER FROM SOUTH AFRICA Americana Han Beg-nn Construction of Ftrnaasal Tologntph Hetweow Tioa Tain and Pekiu. London, Sept. 18. In accordance with the prediction of Sir Rert Hart that there will be turther hostilities in China in November, the press un drestands tbat the British government is already considering the transfer ol troops from South Africa to India lu order to make it practicab'e to send more British troops to China. The military authorities consider the war in South Africa so far ended tbat troops may now be safely moved. It is possible that the Russian lega tion has already been removed from Pekin to Tien Tsin, but there is no definite news as yet as to whether Li Hung Chang will after all go to Pekin. General Dorward is going to the capi tal, leaving the British troops at Tien Tsin under command of Brigadier-General Campbell. Vice-Admiral Alex ieff has returned to Taku. Tbe Americana have begun at Ho Si Wu a permanent telegraph line be tween Pekin and Tien Tsin. Tbe Pekin correspondent of the Daily Mail says that tbe assassin of Baron von Ketteler has been shot. Tbe Morning Post's representative at Pekin says that tbe question ia being discusse-1 of sending relief to a few British, French and Amerioan engi neers, who are besieged in a, city 200 miles south of Pekin.
