FLOUR OFF DELAGOA RELEASED

trnliHiul of Wiir Utiles Iiiti'iiilril for
tho Kneiny Term Will He Accepted.
Loudon, Jan. 12. Tho American
flour seized oil Delagoa bay has been
rolcused. 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.

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.

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.

head, crushed its face in so that the
blood gushed out of its nose aud mouth.
TIiob he seized tho child by one foot
and began swinging it around his hoad,
resisting all efforts of the torrilled par
ents to stop him, and it was not until
help was gotten that tho child was
taken from him. It was quite dead.
Tho insane commission was con
