Ambassador Choato had an interview with tho Marquis of Salis bury this afternoon, and recoivod a verbal reply to tho representations of tho Washington government. Tho British note on this subject was fionfc later to tho United States embassy. Tho gist of it was cabled to Washing ton. In brief, foodstuffs aro not con sidered contraband of war, unless in tended for tho enemy. Tho foreign office only arrived at a decision today, aud it was not until aftor Mr. Choatu's iutorviow with tho Marquis of Salisbury that a note em bodying tho provisions was drawn up. Sovoral of tho government's advisors wanted to mako a regulation regarding canned goods, but this was decided to bo impracticable. Tho decision to mako flour and grain in transit to tho enomy contraband is evidently hedged in by many dilllculties of execution, but tho foreign oillco bolievcs that in vestigation will generally determine whether the grain is meant ior eon Hiiiiiiitioii at Lorenzo Muroucz or in the Transvaal. Mr. Ohoato cabled Lord Salisbury's note to tho statu department at Wash ington tonight, and Colonel Hay is ex pected to reply, accepting tho terms. Tho latter step was not taken by Mr. Choato, as ho had llrst to receive au thority from tho state depaitmeut to do hO. IN CAVITE PROVINCE. Itelicl Are Ileitis; Driven From 1 1st Country South of Miinllii. Manila, Jan. 12, Reports from the movements of tho American command ors south of Manila show that Generals Bates and Wheutou are at l'orez Dos marinas, aud General Schwan is at Silan, all awaiting tho arrival of pro vision wagons. ' 'Itocounoissanco-t havo shown that 2,000 armed 'insurgents havo retired to tho mountains from tho district between Indan aud Naiu, and that others havo retreated along tho coast from Novotel toward Botangas. Last night, Nolan's squadron of tho Eleventh cavalry drove a body of insur gents from Naio. One Amoricau was killed and two wero wounded. Thir teen dead Filipinos wcro found. Tho movement largely resembles General Sehwau'H experience in the same country, except that tho towns aro now being garrisoned, and that tho insurgents refuse to fight, retreating southward and dividing into small bands, with tho apparent intention uf reassembling later. Tho plan of catch ing a largo number between two bri gades has failed. About 100 insurgents havo boon killed, but comparatively lew arms havo been taken. Tho region is full of amigos, who doubtless have been bearing arms, which they have hidden. The women aud children remain in their homes, and tho insurgents, as they fall back, release all tho prisoners they have cap tured. Whllti lloumi Kereptloii. Washington, Jan. 12. The reception to tho diplomatio corps, tho llrst of tho evening receptions at tho Whito House this season, was held tonight from 0 to 1 1 o'clock, and was well attended.

JIMENES HAS THE MONEY. Got It Knsler Thnn lie Can Get the A polony. Now York, Jan. 11. A dispatch to tho Horald from Santo Domingo says: President Jimines, who has boon at Macoris since Saturday superintending tho raising of tho popular subscription to pay tho French claim, returnod this afternoon with 300,000 francs. Tho claims amount to 280,000 francs. As tho popular subscription is larger than tho claim, tho Dominicans aro rojoio ing. Tho return of tho president under uch auspicious circumstances wai marked by patriotic enthusiasm and a general flag display. Tho Frenoh cruisor Cecilo saluted tho gunboat on which President Jimines returnod. Tho gunboat answered tho salute. No steps havo boon taken by tho Frouch consul further than entrusting tho caeo to Admiral Richard. No disordors havo occurred, but tho popular Bcnti mout Is against apologizing to France. Tho people aro urging tho government to prepare a system of defenso, as the overthrow of tho government would bo menaced at tho llrst evidence of weak ness. In raising tho popular subscription many ladies offered their jowolry. Ono Spanish and one Italian merchant have incurred tho dislike of tho people for their failure to subscribe. Tho arrival of tho French cruiser Cecilo created considerable excitement. Sho reached Santo Domingo yesterday afternoon, but did not salute as sho entorod the harbor. Tho situation here is tranquil, and the government has urged tho peo ple to show no hostility to Franco. It Is rojKutod that Franco will send two additional warships to this island.
