PERMITS FOR IMMIGRANTS.
Notice of England to Those Wishing
to Go
to South Africa.
Washington, Dec. 20. Tho stato
department has recoiovd from Mr.
White, secretary of tho embassy at
London, a copy of notico recoived by
him from tho Britsh foreign olllco in
regard to permits from porsons desir
ing to proceed to South Africa. Lord
Lansdowno, in forwardinc tho notice.
calls attention to tho fourth para
graph, which states that "subjects of
foreign notvors who may wish to pro
ceed to South Africa from ports in
tho United Kingdom can obtain a
permit on production of satisfactory
evidence froi thoir respective em
bassies or legations in London."
Each applicant for a permit must
produce a certificate to show that ho
is in possession of at least 100 ($480)?
or is in a position to maintain himsolf
upon arrival in South Africa; that
the object of his iournoy is bona fide.
and that ho has not beon deported or
sent out of his country as indigent.
Tho concluding paragraph Bays:
"it Blioulu clearly bo understood
that theso permits aro availablo only
to enablo passengers to land in South
Africa, and are no guaranty that thoy
will bo allowed to proceed inland.
Thoso who wish to do so must apply
for permits at tho port of disembark
ation. Tho latter aro warned that
there faro still thousands of persons
waiting at tho coast ports for an op
portunity to roturn to thoir homos
who will probably havo preocdonoo
over later arrivals."
TREASON IN MINDANAO.
Davis Asks for Military Control of a Prov-
Ince Several Recent Engagements.
Manila, Deo. 25. General George
W. Davis, commanding at Zumbo-
anga, Island 01 Mindanao, lias re
quested that tho provinco of Misamis,
Mindanao, again bo placed under
military control. Goneral Davis has
Sroot that tho recontly elected pruri
ent and vice councilors and tho lead
ing men of Cacayan do Misamis, are
guilty of treason in furnishing am
munition to tho insurgents within
tho past month, Tho fiscal of the
provinco of Misamis is also impli
cated. Tho ovidauco shows that all
of thoso mon aro mombors of tho
sccrJKatinunan society, General
't.MfltfsM- W...I- S..,..,-.ii av':
cutb in and endorses tho request of J
0'ncral Davis, and roviowing tho
situation in Mindanao, says he is sat
isfied that tho ends of justice, pcaco
and good government will soon ho
obtained by tho restoration of mili
tary control t& tho provinco of Mi
samis and tho overcoming of all ro
sistaueo to that authority. It is ex
pected that the United States Philip
pine commission will rofusu this re
quest, as thoy did a similar applica
tion made by Goneral Chaffco con
cerning tho province of Tayabas,
Luzon, where the rebels have boon
particularly aetivo recontly.
Every effort to decrease tho expens
es of tho American army in tho
Philippines is having littlo effect,
owing to tho incieaso of army sta
tions, duo partly to tho activity of
tho insurgents on tho island of Samar,
in Datiiiiga and TayabiiH provinces,
and in other places, and also to tho
establishment of municipal govern
ment in many towns, which has
necessitated ronding troops thoro to
precorvo order.
Captain J. S. Park, Jr., with 30
men of tho Twenty-first infantry,- en
countered (10 insurgents last weok at
Alaminos, in Lugunii provinco. Four
of thu enemy wero killed and several
of tho guns wore captured and their
barracks destroyed.
A detachment of scouts of tho Sec
ond infantry also had a small engage
ment with tho insurgents, in which
thoy killed niuu and captured four.
Lieutenant John I). Hartmaii, of
the First cavalry, during an expedi
tion, encountered tho enemy six hop
arato times without losing ono of his
moq. Ho destroyed sovoral barracks.
General Boll, who is in command
of tho American forces in Batangas
provinco, Luzon, has praised Lieu
tenant James D. Tilford, who, whili
scouting with troop D, of tho first
cavalry, routed an insurgent forco in
that province. Lieutenant Tilford
located 11 rebel stronghold on top of a
hill near tho town of Batangas. Ho
surrounded the enemy undor cover of
night and attacked thorn at daylight.
Thoir surprise was complete. Nine
teen insurgents wore killed while at
tempting to escape. Lieutenant Til
ford captured 10 rides and 600 rounds
of ammunition,
American Advisor for Chinese Court.
Victoria, II. C, Deo. 20. Tho
Bteamor Braomar, which arrived to
night from tho Orient, brings nows
that the Chineso court has decided to
ongugo an American advisor. Tho
name of tho official is not given by
Oriental papers, but tho Chinese
press .ays that the salary is to bo
$15,000 per ycur. Tho Japan Mail,
commenting on this, says it ia
wiso step for China to take, for al
though her statesmen need no coun
sel in thoir domestio policy, thoy uro
unlearned in regard to dealings with,
foreign countries, ''
